RemingtonBeaver Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 1718	Posted - 2015.01.12 02:31:00 - [31] - Quote Sure. I'd hate to total up my spending in the game, but I support the things I want to see do well. People ***** and complain about CCP, but at least they allow you to have input. Hell we have player named weapons. Fanfest last year I would have given you the opposite answer, but Rattati, the DEVs and the CPM crew have proven that there is a lot of care and plenty of work going into this game. I consider spending money on it a way of thanking them....and also funding them to keep at it. Go Here and vote! 1 like is 1 vote!

If the current Merc Pack is the same as the old Merc Pack, it's definitely worth it. It is.
Bright Cloud Namtar Elite Gallente Federation 760	Posted - 2015.01.12 11:29:00 - [36] - Quote You cant compare COD to this here. With each years cod youll get new weapons, balancing and most noticeable new maps and graphic improvments. Dust allready struggles to add in 2 new maps per year. And god forbid to add new weapons or vehicles into the game. And no bringing back OLD vehicles does not count as adding new stuff. Bright is the opposite of dark! Who would have thought of that?!

Since the responses are different depending on the player, I'll think about it. I wouldn't respec unless I had all my core skills maxed out and at least two full protos, otherwise you might paint yourself into a corner that you have to buy another respec token to get out of. I respec'd with all my cores maxed out, 5 proto suits, weapons, gear, and still managed to wish I had done it slightly differently. So I can only imagine if I had far less SP and tried to do trade one proto for another. Nope, too scary for me. I'm assuming you're newish, since I've not seen you around, or newish to our corp, either way, glad you're on board. Go Here and vote! 1 like is 1 vote!
Jathniel G I A N T 1404	Posted - 2015.01.12 14:16:00 - [39] - Quote Only respecs, boosters, and BPOs are worthwhile. BPO vehicles too. But most of those are gone now. Retired
deezy dabest IMPERIAL SPECIAL FORCES GROUP 1768	Posted - 2015.01.12 14:56:00 - [40] - Quote Just do not buy a respec and do not buy decryptor keys. Chances are whatever you want to respec into can be gained with a few boosters and a good week of grinding and then you will have your current setup plus the new one. BPOs are great but not as great as you may think so take this purchase with caution, suits change and could leave you regretting the purchase at some point. My rule on Dust purchases is to spend what I can enjoy before the next update. Boosters are worth it even if you are just saving the SP. The bundle packs when on sale will make you a pretty good amount of ISK depending on how much you die.

Breakin Stuff Internal Error.

P.S. Can someone tell me when exatly are they shutting Dust, if they ever do that. if you think you will have fun by buying a little bit of aurum stuff, by all means. DUST is in no danger of being shut down, because the first thing they'd do was announce the cancellation of the planned development cycles to save money. That will come long before we see the servers given a headshot. EVE Online is what you get when engineers attempt to create "fun" without consulting someone who comprehends the word.

Just remember there are no guarantees! I just dropped a few more bucks on aurum. I'm getting addicted to the "Instant Boost" button.

They are not likely to shut it down while it is still making money. (If it was not making money they would not have started developing stuff for it again.) Dust will likely remain active while Legion is in Beta, and Legion won't even be in Beta for a while yet. Even after Legion is released, DUST may continue for a while if it still has enough of a player base to pay for itself. Of course at some point, probably in a year or two, people will stop spending money on DUST because they think it will soon shut down, and then DUST will soon shut down because no one is spending money on it. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.

Duke Noobiam The Dukes of Death 333	Posted - 2015.01.12 16:51:00 - [46] - Quote Support the game and it will continue existing. CCP will not shut off the servers if they are making money. The fact that there is a roadmap and planned future releases seemingly indicates that the game will be around for a while yet.
Onesimus Tarsus is-a-Corporation 2852	Posted - 2015.01.12 18:53:00 - [47] - Quote One of the things that I gained when I achieved "Worst Player in DUST514 ever" status was the complete quelling of the urge to financially support a game in which I am exclusively cannon fodder. This is a prototype-level sig. I worked hard for it, and I'm going to use it every time. So, just get used to it.

Maybe that's why you suck don't tell me you have never heard of PAY TO WIN! You don't want to be cannon fodder maybe purchase a little something that will give you a better edge against your opponent. CEO Closed Beta Vet

What should I purchase to add to the 5,200,000 Unused SP I currently have for my full-5-cored character? In other words, this side of purchasing CCP outright and changing the code in my personal favor, very little would alter my sucking. This is a prototype-level sig. I worked hard for it, and I'm going to use it every time. So, just get used to it.
Zeylon Rho Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 3974	Posted - 2015.01.12 21:49:00 - [50] - Quote I'd wait till a point with more concrete plans where they lay out exactly how importing into Legion will go, if there'll be a Legion, if Dust is now a "revived" thing (since it was killed), and if/when Dust/Legion will be displayed at Fanfest as a proper part of the EVE universe. Right now, it feels kinda like we've picked up a formal agreement for Friends-With-Benefits post break-up with an ex and no real way of knowing when the rug might get pulled out from under us. Dren&Templar Tragedy.

Thats a waste of good resources! Personally I am a console player, I have always been a console player and i will always be a console player, so i keep the faith that as long as you all and myself help support the game we will NEVER have to see Legion!! 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. Even if Legion did come out... Would you just end DUST if you where the CEO of CCP? with a declining revenue portfolio and this being the only product that you have that actually shows revenue growth? If CCP Does Launch Legion next year. Would they want to port it ever to PS4? Could you really ever combine PC and PS4 populations? How could you develop for PC and have the luxury to update user clients instantaneously then have to go through a few day 3rd party process to update console user clients.? (PSN) After spending, some say millions, launching a product on console and making headway would you just throw that investment away? Again if you where the CEO of CCP... I Don't see it making sense for CCP to get rid of DUST or shut it down.... I See it being around for a atleast a year or two... and possibly if there is enough of a market... Ported to the PS4.

Would it depend what the dust consists of? Cup of tea anyone? I came here to mingle can you hear that jingle that would be me lingle.
