BETA wasn't everything people make it out to be, nostalgia creates rose colored glasses. The game is by far more enjoyable now. The only problems we have now is the amount of players playing at any given time. If we had 10k players on at peak DUST would be a different place.

You must've really been pissed at the world to see only bad...

Nope. People laud BETA like it was some kind of Utopian era in DUST's history when in fact it was really pretty bad, to the point of unplayable. The only thing I miss from BETA is the original way skirmish was played and being able to damage/rep MCCs. Other than that it was bad and people shouldn't tell all the stories about how good it was because it wasn't. I love DUST and I was in one of the first rounds of players but it was a BETA and to be honest, BETAs suck and that is why they are called that.

The game is much better than it was then and the only real problem is the number or active players. Raise the number of players actually logged on and on the ground to at least 5k and 99% of this games problems would vanish.

I miss the drunken RDV pilots (They make the current RDV pilots look like top of the line pilots) I miss the old Laz0r I miss the old AR sights I miss the time where 90% of the game used starter fit because they were useful and free. I miss when the Heavy was the classic AV fit I miss when 99% of scouts used the SR from the points accessible to everyone I miss when a Laz0r could melt HAVs I miss when Dropships were easy to fly I miss the old assault being caldari only. I miss almost all of it, but not the 'invalid fit' glitch *"There is only one thing I regret, that is only giving one life to my state." - Viktor Revon*

I'd still be using the AR if it wasn't for the scope being removed The laz0r's first days in dust I skilled into it and melted all that stood before me... well until the next update. (I still have my LR... good memories) I'm scared of the sound of the HMG (back then the heavies would make short work of today's heavies) Scouts were snipers So many memories... *"There is only one thing I regret, that is only giving one life to my state." - Viktor Revon*

Raise the number of players actually logged on and on the ground to at least 5k and 99% of this games problems would vanish. It was not perfect, had many occurring glitches and bugs. I remember a bug where all fits were invalid and another where your squad would be placed alone on a map... I miss that one, my squad alway just started a 'roadkill' mode and we all tried to slam into each other in LAVs... I jumped in assault and got an assault proto w/ duvolle. I don't see how it was unplayable, I played a ton in closed... my activity dropped with open beta and new players hopping on and shout 'sick dck bitches!" I miss when I didn't have to see that in local... The game was fun, not very complex, but fun. "There is only one thing I regret, that is only giving one life to my state." - Viktor Revon*
