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 also miss the "Intense" game mode that was available for like a week. I don't think that was until after closed beta though. I don't miss hard freezing my ps3 every other match, and the invalid fits bug.

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*

DAMIOS82 WarRavens Capital Punishment. 136	Posted - 2014.11.18 21:55:00 - [13] - Quote i miss when mountains where mountains i miss when HAV's where feared and fighting them with AV was an actual battle I miss when lav's where a terror, but the joy of fighting them with a heavy was awesome, ripped straight thrue them. I miss when snipers where actuall snipers and there system worked, not shots missing targets, no daft range restrictions, better scope. I miss having a lag free game, Beta might have had many bugs, but not a lot of lag, neither in menu's or ingame. To me this game is getting worse with each update and all they do now is avoid the mayor gameplay issue's in the hope no one see's it or care's enough. But most of all i miss those big clans/company's/community that i fought against in the olden days, for they where the reall warriors.

I hear a huge amount about the old moving MCC, Crater Lake, and the Skirmish Game mode with all its cool stuffs. I also miss when all the old Vehicle Content was in the game and Dust had a real gritty, rough and tumble vision of being EVE's little brother. Shame we the player base couldn't hack it.

Closed beta: Potential incarnate Now: The product of this game's performance worsening since a time possily a bit after closed beta. Beta: Beta had some better maps. No one had to deal with the extreme scout abuse, the product of hotfix charlie and other changes. No one had to deal with extreme AV/Vehicle abuse. The skill tree didn't create an immense rift where older/higher/highest paying players will always have an advantage as it does now. The graphics in some cases were better. Players strafing back and forth at 200 MPH didn't exist. You actually survived from strafing and not dying from it. You didn't have to worry as much from being easily shot at from a distance(To be honest players outranging you being a near constant risk never should be in any fps) To some extent better UI Better vehicle controls I think then it actually cost WP to deploy vehicles, now? Spam away. And so on. A lot of old elements need to come back.

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*

Meeko Fent Kirkinen Risk Control Caldari State 2094	Posted - 2014.11.19 06:10:00 - [25] - Quote Overall? Games better now. Much better then Codex or Chromo, or pre-Codex. As for the games FEEL... Codex was the best IMO. I felt powerful and useful in Codex, but now I feel like a bit of a number to be killed off. Admittingly, people only ran Standard and Militia Fits then, cause the skills were impenetrable, and ISK was worth a damn then. Felt more fast paced, with (IMO) better AA, and a much tighter game feel. Uprising kinda wrecked that, but it's still good. If you can get past the faults now, this is so superior to the old. So much more content to work with (unless you're a HAV, in which case you're getting bumfucked right now), pretty good gameplay feel, improved skill tree, map variation from the 3 whole options we had then. So much MORE now. I remember back when the HAVs were routinely used to blast MCCs out the sky and when the SMG was added and back when the melee was a NK. I was there. Because you wanted to be something you're not. A hero. Do you feel like one now?

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!"
