DUST was the game that I had been dying for from CCP. Being an EVE player and loyal Amarr follower (seriously I bleed liquid gold, I'm that much into the Amarr), when DUST was first announced I nearly stroked out.
The day I got my closed beta invite, I sold my 360 and purchased a PS3; I couldn't believe I was finally about to play the FPS version of EVE!
As time went on, I got deeper and deeper into the game. I was playing for longer and longer periods, pretty much devoting my all into this game. I remember when the ScR was released into the game: 5/14/13. I actually missed court due to it (speeding ticket) because I was so pumped to finally get my hands on the Amarrian primary weapon (I proceeded to freak out later that day that the cops would arrest me...they didn't).
As time went on I fought harder for the Amarr, I fought harder to build my own name in this game; I wanted to make an impact, to leave a part of myself with this game.
Unbeknownst to the other members of Triple A (or PIE in general), I was actually fired from my job in May of 2014 because I was consistently late from playing DUST (yeah I know, I'm a loser). On top of losing my job, something heinous happened - ROUGE WEDDING. Yep, this was pretty much akin to a parent telling their young child that "hey bro, we shot your puppy and killed it, whatcha gonna do about it mate?" I WAS CRUSHED. I instantly (as in that day) sold my PS3 (all I played on it was DUST).
Here I am April of 2015. I have my degree and a nice job, I'd say I'm doing well. Triple A talked me back into purchasing a new PS3 so I could try DUST again. I did (read the I'm back thread by moi). I played a few matches and was truly and utterly shocked at how I practically lost years of my life to..........this. I am not bashing the game, but I must say that it looks like a glorified PS2 game, maybe even a PSP game. I mean, I just COULD NOT wrap my head around how in the Lord's sweet holy name I was addicted to this game. After those few matches I had to sign off and cleanse my sullied eyes with the beauty of the PS4's graphics.
I'll leave you all with this,
DUST is not a bad game, it is simply limited by the PS3, and the fact that CCP doesn't have experience with developing for console. If DUST had been developed for PC (Legion) or even the PS4, I feel like it would have made waves in the FPS and MMO genres.
I will not be back to DUST henceforth ever. I simply have no desire to play the game any longer in the current state it's in. Will I be back for Legion...perhaps, but I will have to see how it stands up before I come running back full tilt. As far as EVE Valkyrie, you bet your asses I'll be there!
I salute the devs for all they have done and for not just killing the game outright. I salute the players for having the fortitude and heart to play the game. I salute Pyrex for being the cynical man he is and giving me a laugh or two from time to time.
I love you all from the bottom of my heart; your friendly neighborhood kitty girl,

Looks as if your eyes have been opened.

Well hopefully I'll catch you around sometime in FFXIV.
I tried.
I played on my Ziiiro Celeste alt so I wouldn't be caught scrubbin' it up on Aisha and I just couldn't do it. It would take far too long for me to essentially re-learn the entire game, not controls wise, but mechanics wise.
I've accept that I'm just an old washed up DUST legend.

Some damage control needs done ASAP. Roll back and leave it. Not worth the hassle. The DC's alone.......AHHHHHHHHH 300k FLUSH. Happy Trails OP. Dont forget to write....

I have no interest in the game whatsoever, trading means nothing to me now.
