I logged on for the first time in 6 months yesterday...The memories came flooding back. I loved Dust sooo much. I'm now speechless. It was the perfect game with perfect players. RIP Dust 514 Jan. 2013-May 2014 era.
Possibly the best around.

I believe it's better now than in May 2014, so there's that. Happy to have you back!

You can replace a AR and tweak the mechanics, rewrite code and create new maps, but you can't create the players, the family that was once the mecca of the gaming industry. So for that gathering experience...thank you CCP. Maybe one day we will meet on the battle front once again friends, until then, God-speed.

Have to agree with BOTH Rattati, AND Big Burns on this thread point.
From Rattati's POV, the impetus and the target of the changes was so shockingly different than what was being tweaked and changed prior to May '14, that gameplay almost (...but not quite) feels as fluid, and fast as when I first got hooked on the game. Today's version of Dust has more enjoyable after-game activity, increasingly more elaborate menu juggling (probably the most menu flipping in-or-out of battles of any fps I've experienced), and thus more ways to hedge your risks and stack your strategies for winning and building, than the more simplified mechanics we had prior to May. If you are able to put in the math and management time on your character, Dust has become more fun doing so.
From Big Burns' POV, the landscape of players to socialize with HAS changed over the period. April/May was rough on anyone who hung around the forum, got bummed out by all the doom-callers and "betrayal" ranters, and let their good time with good freinds get front-staged by "the business of running a company". Did some fun conrades get exhiled by the CCP shake-up---I guess so. But even in a "persistent" game, players will move on, new neighbors won't feel as much fun as "the ole' buds". There are whole Corps, with their own corp chat channels that used to be filled with at least 9 players each night, that I used to pal with between matches. They are now disbanded, and the channels vacant. I think that's as much to do with the nature of aging games, as it might have anything to do with changes the devs may or may not be correctly making. ...But, yes Big Burns, I miss some old-player flavor too.
Universe of good wishes for the 49, especially CCP Eterne...

You don't know? The laws of the internets decree that at minimum of five (5) threads after every patch much contain a proclamation and discussion of how the game is now Pay to win.

You still haven't provided an example where paying AUR will net you a bonus that spending time in Dust 514 will not.
Eagerly waiting your reply, Ripley
My advice to you, playa...

If it's any consolation, I know exactly what you're going through. All of the friends I had in ANONYMOUS are long gone and I've yet to recreate that kind of bond with anyone else. I remember Q-syncing in Faction Warfare (when you had to wait for a match to pop up) and just having a laugh. We weren't worried about the future of our game.
Doing stuff like this just because it was fun.
(Skip to 6:00 for the fun bits. Then to 16:30 to see us do it again in the same match.)

They just have to do something to make the 20-30 mil SP players want to group up and make a name for themselves in PC/FW. The incentives aren't there for people to try to win matches so you have a ton of people that play this amazing team work based game as though it's COD. There are more players now skilled enough to compete than ever before, they are just in the shadows.
Now that the scouts are tamed a bit I think the lonewolf style will not be as attractive as it has been. They have to figure out a way to hook these players with the social meta side of the game.
I wish my avatar was Minmatar.

It is just not the same family as you left. I am sure if you stuck around you would become part of this family. To be quite frank, I find the Community to be a lot more friendly and considerate than it was in May. Most of the Trolls left when the game was declared dead, and we were told not to expect any more content patches.

I personally think open beta were the best times for me. Very nostalgic, and completely different than what we have today.
