Dammit guys. I joined in Uprising.... 1.4? Well, I can remember when the Rail Rifle, and Combat Rifle dropped, so... Anyway, that's not the point. The point is that I am not a Beta vet. How I wish I was. I want to see the old vets. James, XProtoman, Zitros, Reg.... Truly great players from what I hear. I would give anything to be able to compete with these guys. That doesn't mean there aren't terrors still today. Hell, there a quite a few that are sitting in my corp.
Still, for the most part the Dust player base is extremely disappointing. I'm bad. I know I'm bad. Yet I still can pubstar until the end of time, because everyone else is worse. At this point Dust isn't about being good, it's about being better than the next guy.

There's no excuse to why or how badly you guys got stomped in the past. It was a simple case of dedication vs not. Do a single one of you plebs even ask CCP to put Dust as an MLG?
Because that's what we used to ask from CCP. Back when players cared about how good they are.
How can you compare now to back then? It's obvious people were better back then cause we had a reason to believe we were planning for a 10 year future. That brings out the best in neckbeards.
But now there's no reason, no ambition, nothing. What exactly is driving you scrubs to be as good as players in the past?
To sum it up; yea, Beta players were miles better. These new guys dont understand even a 2 week war, 12-15 PCs a day, trying to break down the defenses, or even hold your own, against a true team of beta legends. Peoples spirits were broken, on both sides.. Burn out used to be a real thing, constantly fighting the best 16 players this game has to offer probably killed more groups then any CCP update, lol. It didn't used to matter how much land you owned or whatever, just that you had a good team of 16, there was always a way to make money. Nyain Chan made a ton using broken mechanics and shady community deals, but corps like PRO and STB actually made much more through taxes. STB dropped nearly 3 to 6 BILLION isk trying to hold, retake, hold, and retake there planet again. Other groups have signed even bigger deals just to see certain groups always on there knees. This game isn't even close to what it used to be.
I wouldn't say that wars were dead after Beta. I still remember the hell that was warring against O.H. At the time, O.H. was bar none, the best PC team in MH. We played them, 1-3 battles, every single day. It was gruesome. A lot of people got real tired of it real fast.

SoTa PoP wrote:Summa Militum wrote:Most of you people suck at this game and rely too heavily on a squad to help you succeed. What a brilliant statement to say about a tactical shooter. You suck because you work together better then people with individual talent. The top corps in this game used to demand there players squad together, because it doesn't matter how good you are if you can't follow orders, know where to be, or support your team. A good example of this is a well known legend, Alldin. A Imperfect with undeniable skill with anything he touches. Problem is, he's not the best team player. Same issue with Kaizuka Sniper and many other 'top' players. The only class that has ever gotten away with Solo play are vehicles. Infantry who believe they can solo anything are the reason teams lose. Individual talent gets you noticed, but teamwork gets you fielded.
Kaizuka? You mean the guy who never does anything, but runs in stomp squads, and has a ridiculous K/D of around 11? That's the guy who you're saying doesn't work well with others? Okay.

Okay. that 11 KDR wouldn't be possible if he kept to PC like a lot of us. He pads his stats using GD plebs. I've seen him in the red line so often, even in tanks, I thought he might of been Bad Furry's alt years ago. If I hadn't been a part of Imps and constantly getting pulled into NS matches for defenses I wouldn't of found out he can aim a gun too. actually, out of all the 'top beta players' he's probably the worst. You can't judge someones skill when they constantly play shadey. Reg and Alldin never had to rely on explosives or vehicles to do anything, and I've never once seen them hide in the red line.
That's a big problem when it comes to the Dust playerbase. You get so entitled about how good your playstyle is. So many people start calling out others when they play differently.
"Oh he uses jump mods, so he's a scrub."
"Oh, he uses RE, so he's clearly he has no gun game."
"Oh, he has a tank, that means he's afraid to fight infantry."
Playing "shady" most of the time just refers to any playstyle you don't agree with.

If they're scrubmode, and make the game so easy why doesn't everyone run it? The reason is because they're not good enough. Different playstyles require different tactics, and some people just can't pull it off. I know, I've done everything from heavy with damps, to myos, to slayer logis, to RE dependent scouts. Each one required me to vastly change my playstyle, and some are much harder than for me to successfully pull off than others. Just because it seems like scrubmode to you, doesn't mean the bar for entry isn't any lower than any other style of play.

They know I am right  When I get back I'm going to link you to the part in my blog where I renounce all aspiration to be like musturd and instead reveal that I intended to forge my own, individual path. That's fine, clear up the musturd stuff so you don't seem like a liar. Why are my comments removed? You can still like the guy but being a carbon copy clone is no fun. Personally wanted to make my own path, kinda think i have. As far as legends go, I'm happy with being appreciated in my corp, tho wouldn't mind boosting my reputation? no, um, i forgot what its called. BTW if your considered a vet at 2+ years of playing, been playing since 1.4ish (probably right before), that was more then 2 years ago right? I was almost 18 when i started playing, 20 now.
Hey, I think we started playing around the same time. Nice to meet you. Not many people that joined when I did seem to frequent the forums. They're all either newbies that have only a few months under their belts, or Beta vets.
