This was my answer to the question in the EvE forums
Topic: Why Do You Play DUST 514
In all of this I didn't even mention the above mentioned glitch with no bubble concerning channel security (glitch B-day coming up, will be 2 years old). Along with about 400 more. This was my reply. At the end is where I decided to try a game of DUST after the update. Guess what happened... lol
Reply to why I play DUST 514-
If only they would make real repairs rather than continue to include more OP weapons like the bolt pistol (a side arm) which lands as much damage as a sniper rifle or rail rifles that seem to carry their damage twice as far as they should, but only for individuals in certain corps. Ever been in a suit with 900-1000 HP and dropped by one guy with his rail rifle from 141 meters? Really What is that about. Repairs on the maps would also be nice. Getting stuck next to the point between steps has been an issue since the map was introduced a year ago. Waiting for deployment has become an issue as well. How many times should a deployment fail before you get into battle? Or how long should a player expect it to take to get fixed? A week, A month, A year? And when it does get repaired, what old problem will be re-introduced to the game; Only to deal with older problems all over again. Public matches need to be reconsidered as well. I watch so many good gamers play this game, or try to become involved but never get an opportunity to really enjoy the experience because certain 'bully' corps do everything they can to destroy everything in sight.
First impressions mean a lot. You can make or break a decision based on that impression. Honestly after playing DUST 514 from Day 1 has been a 'hellofaride' and a good time. But if I had to start the game now as a new player, the software would have been removed from my ps3 within a week.
A few things CCP may want to consider...
1. Replacing one OP weapon with another OP weapon IS NOT a repair.
2. Changing squad sizes but not including Scotty in the decision, is a poor decision.
3. allowing established OP corps to 'sync' into public matches (where new players are trying to figure it out) is just wrong and by doing so reduces potential for a 'new player base'
4. Ignoring map issues that have been reported over and over indicates lack of communication on the behalf of CCP and indicates that players are not their #1 prority.
5. waiting to deploy for 5-6 minutes only to be kicked and start over 3,4,5,6,7 times before getting into battle is a huge waste of the little time I have to game. Sometimes as long as 40min. to actually deploy.
1-5 are the main reasons I stopped putting money into the game. I have put a lot in, and in a way I recognized subconsciously that CCP must not want anymore of my money, or they just do not care about my experience in the game. I don't mind getting shot up, I mind that it is a market based game and losses due to the same issues over and over indicate they just don't care.
Now what was the question? OH! why I play.....
Well I play a lot less now because when I choose to play a game, I want to have fun. Loading DUST 514 has become a coin toss of what happened this time. Often I choose to do something else.
CCP- you need to FOCUS. I may not feel this way IF every video I have seen of CCP, they act like there job is just a big party. Believe me, it is beginning to show in both games; EvE Online and DUST 514.
I had high hopes that they would tie the games together as mentioned in the past, but I do not believe CCP has what it takes to really pull it off. That is the difference between a professional programming studio, and a group of people who know how to program; But really have their mind on fun, games, parties. I do not believe the card of getting the games to really mesh was ever in the deck to begin with, but rather a good idea that simply put is not in their ability.
why I play? I have no clue anymore. A few friends I have met along the way, but we can talk now anywhere. The whole world is now designed for just that. Communication. With Communication now said, Hmmmm. CCP TALK TO EACH OTHER, fix the game. Please! Balance the game. Please! Make it friendly for new players. Please!
One more thing! CCP when a ticket is submitted to you with all information required, and clearly show your game as the problem, it is SO wrong to blame everything but the real problem that was born on your door step.
Past examples, blame my ISP for your game freezing, blaming PSN for the same thing. The replies that tell the player it is their PS3 only to find that it is YOUR chat channels causing the problem.
Many replies received often indicate that the message was never really read simply by the lackadaisical response weighed by the content sent you.
I hope you can find some time to hear this and respond accordingly. I believe I have said enough here to help get you on the right track. One more thing, sometimes making big game changes based on what certain individuals request on these forums may not be such a good idea. You have made those not so good ideas become a reality far too many times. I hope you read this request and recognize it as a request for a better gaming experience for EVERYONE. Unlike a few corps who have evolved and learned how to use these forums to play you like a damn fiddle.
Thank you That is all.
No, I guess that isn't all. Just tried to play DUST 514 of course update today. In the middle of battle, BLACK SCREEN. Familiar? well it has been a while. I think it is time for a new adventure.
CCP too little WAY-way too late. Goodbye. |

I really do hope to see this game do better. A great concept. I do hope you read and were able to understand the so badly needed changes I covered in my post.
To over look my post, and to ignore the content is a sure way to close the DUST 514 chapter. I hope that does not happen. I would like to come back, but not until real changes are acknowledged. By this I DO NOT mean brighter skies, do hickies blinking, brighter yellow suits.
I mean maps, OP, communication, battle server, refunds, support, you know the REAL stuffs.
I honestly believe that catering to a couple thousand new players will bring more to you than catering to 0uter.Heaven/inner hell and all of their shell corps.
Or is this just a write off deal for EvE support on your end? Sometimes showing a loss is required to maintain the whole and I understand that. I just wish you would offer us more honest information. People must not be spending money on Aurum, I suspect that is why you are now giving it away at log in. Willing to bet when you get it together people will buy it again. I bet. |

However the fair and simple answer and one that I think CCP might agree on is why not have a vote system? If the CEO is inactive for a certain period of time and a fair amount of time... (i.e does not fight any battles, logging in should not count) then the corp members / directors can initiate a kick vote or a vote for new CEO?
Sounds reasonable don't you think? You should write a thread about this in the new features and ideas section, that's good stuff although might be problematic since some corps have EVE characters as CEOs There already is a voting system in place. You just have to do it from eve online since the whole corporation and alliance schematic was derived from there. You must have shares of corp to start a vote.
I think CCP need to focus on current issues before sending them off on new features. Don't you see they currently believe glitter and shimmer is more important than getting into battles, eliminating sticky map spots, and crazy side arms, not too mention ridiculous flying clones. Let's give them some time to solve the mess currently created.
