DUST Search - Is it worth spending IRL money on Dust now?

If you will have fun with it and the money is not completely necessary, yes.

People will spend 50 dollars for a good dinner and a movie with friends. If you will get the same amount of enjoyment out of your purchase it is the same thing; 50 dollars for some fun. If you have the expectation that spending that money will get you 'sexual intercourse' in regards to DUST you are probably being too hopeful.

Frankly, I would expect nothing to transfer over the Legion. If you have that in mind, are you still willing to buy the items? Pessimistically, "Legion has been quite for so long and the team wants to get a whole bunch of new EVE players into Legion that there is no way that they are going to let us keep 40 million SP and millions of ISK. At the best, you are keeping your name, BPO's as skins, and maybe your Loyalty Rank."

DUST has to be shut off at some point, like all games really. Sony is only going to support the PS3 for so long and IF Legion comes out and there is ANY kind of transfer, I highly doubt that CCP will continue to work on DUST.

P.S. Can someone tell me when exatly are they shutting Dust, if they ever do that. 536f72727920492061746520616c6c - Decode for a cookie

Supporting the current team in their efforts is pretty neat. It's what made me waste my first dollar on this game, to be honest. Now, if you have everything you could possibly want, and you're not in the need for more boosters, then no.

Bethhy Ancient Exiles. 3063	Posted - 2015.01.11 19:55:00 - [6] - Quote Is it worth spending money on DUST? Right now yes. Well with active development plans for the next year... Money spent with what is gained in entertainment value is worth it. But if you look at the pricing models in DUST in general it is only worth it to a point. Stuff is crazy expensive in DUST. You can spend 100 bux quick in this game for very limited gain. Where that same 100 bux would get you 3 amazing games and the years of development that went with it off PSN... If you do buy something in DUST... make sure you do atleast an hour of research on it..

Happy that I did, using the aur to buy boosters has massively increased my skill progression. I reckon there's more than enough life in the game to justify it. I'd probably quite happily pay a similar amount of IRL money on another game that I might play for a couple weeks or a month. There's considerably more than that left in Dust, and I'll play it more.

Maken Tosch DUST University Ivy League 10721	Posted - 2015.01.11 21:06:00 - [13] - Quote First thing is first, it turned out that CCP was not going to kill Dust. In fact, we haven't seen anything posted by the Devs regarding Project Legion for a long time now. In fact, that section of the forums is looking as dead as Doc Holliday in Tombstone. In the meantime, CCP Rattati, ever since he took over development of Dust immediately after Fanfest 2014, has helped Dust rebuild some confidence in the community. But that is not to say that everything in Dust is worth spending money on. Some things are worth spending money on like Boosters, Merc Packs (especially the $100 ones), Jara Kumora (only if you want to decorate your merc quarters -- her sellback boost is not much), and BPOs (don't buy the APEX ones if you're willing to grind Faction Warfare). If Simple Trading gets introduced in the 1.1 update of the Next Release (supposedly coming in March 2015), buying the AUR consumables like dropsuits, weapons, and modules, would be a great way to make ISK from other players in the secondary market when it happens. However... I highly suggest that you do NOT buy any of the AUR Keys. They are absolutely useless, are chance based in regards to which box gets opened, and most of the time those keys unlock boxes filled with crap that is not even worth a unit of Tritanium. Again, don't buy the APEX suits if you're willing to grind Faction Warfare and earn them for free. But if you don't have the patience, go ahead and buy them.

pumping up Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 8	Posted - 2015.01.11 21:53:00 - [15] - Quote I just spent 50$ on the war profiteer pack. The 3 apex suits and lav bpo really served me well so far. (car-remotes are fun) Only gripe, the aurum amount is way too low, I'd rather ditch the jara kumora for more aur :o Hopefully we can sell jara kumora to other players eventually. If you enjoy the game, consider spending some money - dust can only keep on going if someone pays for the -free- in free to play for others. If they changed the aurum bar to increase the moment you buy aurum I'd probably get another pack. wallet cries

P.S. Can someone tell me when exatly are they shutting Dust, if they ever do that. Spending money on DUST 514 ensures the continual development of DUST 514. If the company (CCP) is steadily making a profit from a service or game (EVE/DUST514) then you can bet they will not want to stray from that project to start another one in the hopes of that project being more successful i.e. Project Legion So in conclusion if you would like to see DUST 514 go on living for 5 - 10 more years then you should probably support the development of the game! if not then we all will need to shell out over a grand for a new PC and all of us should be ready to start paying a subscription.

If they ever integrated PLAYER TRADING i wouldn't need to buy the merc pack. YOU wouldn't need to buy the merc pack in that case. But the merc pack, just like PLEX in Eve Online, will need to be purchased first from CCP before it is then injected into the secondary market by the player for selling.

Because I would probably hate the game anyways on a PC. Wasn't making a statement about DUST. I was only giving the pessimistic possibility of DUST disappearing in short order. Whether or not Legion comes out is something that I feel has little bearing on whether DUST is still around in 18 months. Was only using Legion as an example. Hope that DUST stays around either way, whether it be 'Legion' or DUST. "This is B.S! This is B.S! I paid money! Cash money, dollars money, cash money!"

Clone D 1304	Posted - 2015.01.12 02:10:00 - [29] - Quote The only drawback I see would be spending real money only to find out that your purchase has been nerfed into oblivion or the game has changed in some way that makes your purchase virtually worthless. At this point, I would still focus on what I could get for free. This game is old tech and the community is not growing or gathering a following. IMO, money better spent elsewhere, buddy. Besides, CCP never improves the performance of their servers and we're still seeing a lot of lag. I honestly haven't witnessed any evidence of their trying to improve the technical aspects of the game. Still glitches galore. This game is such a headache and an embarrassment.
Vitantur Nothus Nos Nothi 1641	Posted - 2015.01.12 02:21:00 - [30] - Quote The old merc pack came with a couple boosters and two of the most utilized BPOs in the game, Dragonfly Scout and Toxin SMG. If the current Merc Pack is the same as the old Merc Pack, it's definitely worth it. There is no scheduled end date for Dust, and development plans reach well into the future.
