The idea is great. Work together as a team. Gain districts, try to hold them, play the power game in a persistent environment. Develop camaraderie through collective struggle. Enjoy some emergent gameplay. Try to get rich, gain bragging rights.
The reality is ridiculous lagfests that I trudge through because I don't want to let my corp down, trying my damnedest to be effective even though I'm a sitting duck that can't aim or move properly. Maybe most other players are on the same playing field with me but it doesn't seem that way. Guess I don't have a great connection. It's just torture at this point. I just feel stupid every time. Not only am I just playing a game and not being productive, I'm playing a game I can't even really play or enjoy. What a f*cking joke! |

Even if I slog through, what's the point? With all the lag, and not knowing who's dealing with how much lag, how can it be considered a competitive environment where winning means anything? |

The other issue is lag switching. That is when someone changes the server purposely in a PC battle. This has gotten certain regions close to the equator hate because their corps.
What you do is switch the server setting in-game. That is terrible to the other team and if you change to that server you will see improved performance by a little bit.

You gotta give CCP credit for trying. I just hope they try again, having learned their lessons. If we could have a shooter that offers a competitive environment that fosters emergent content--anything even in the neighborhood of EVE--it would be groundbreaking, super fun, addictive and satisfying, and probably what we post-apocalyptic survivors still clinging to life in this game have been dreaming of. To think of what they are capable of creating, and that all we have for emergent content, persistence, and immersion is the played out garbage that is PC....only the frustrated cries of a demigod can express my disappointment:

The one thing that I would like for CCP to do is start over. Make all districts neutral = all corps have no districts. The way how I see it as now = cluttered mess.

My latest PC........Black Screened on my way in......got in.....DC'd twice. Spent the rest of the battle with my face stuck to a wall. Every time I thought I was free, I did the bungie jump face first into the same wall. Nice wall, but not very productive. I committed suicide just to get different scenery. I locked on to a derp once and when my shot released, the derp was already on the other side of the map.....MAGIC? No ****** servers. All we want is a fair shot not a lag/frame rate fest.

I hate PC because I never like it when I go positive, especially since I know when the other team is lagging. That's not a fight, that's a struggle and an unfair one. I don't strive to be good, just to be able to happily contribute. When I can't even move is when I have to get off this game because of how rage-inducing it is. |

MAG is a great example for Clan battles. 32 vs 32. Watch some videos and you'll see no frame rate.

"LagSwitching" usually refers to a physical switch placed inline on a hardwired ethernet cable that when toggled creates lag that the game server corrects for allowing breaks in detection and physical location. The "server switching" he describes I guess could do the same thing, maybe, somehow, but I've never heard of it like that before.

it's not possible, it works on CoD and other games not based on clients, but Dust is, if they lag switched one game they'd be lag switching them all.
You guys should of been around during some of EvE's last epic battles in 2013, lagged us to hell. |

SSD go for pretty cheap thee days for PS3, you can get them reasonably priced on Ebay and Amazon. I actually suggest it for all your games, it vastly improves the experience.
Wish I had one, my friends was godly :( |

Without sounding too negative - the performance drops and issues really screw over what would otherwise be an amazing gamemode.
Yea some games go in your favour but you can be damn well sure the other team isn't getting it so peachy. When you are that "other team".... rage ensues!

It helps, but not in the way people are thinking. While it has no effect on the enemy and is safe and non lag producing, which is great, it only helps with rendering and loading of content by maybe a few seconds. Scouts take advantage of those seconds on deployments, and dropship pilots as well.
The other things guys are buying to give them an edge I'm not so sure about?! I've had this theory for the longest that modifying fire rates directly effects other players gameplay in the form of lag.
That switching servers bs is a pain that I didn't even know about until recently, but can see where this would effect the enemy team. You scrubs don't deserve districts smh?!
Not in the same form we're thinking, but I believe guys do perform some type of lag switching. They all joke about it because they know SONY will never really look into it.
There's the getting of the server nonsense where you attempt to get into the battle first lol! This I think makes the whole point of the game mode moot?! If getting the server gives an advantage to one team over the other, then what's the point of playing? If the other guys are lagging, and you know it? That's not a fight?!
I just hope CCP irons this out so we can really play.

You have highly overpriced a decent SSD there sir. I got myself a 250GB SSD for $50 <---way more than sufficient for playing dust (if that's all you're doing) If you have 80 billion games then maybe a larger size would be a smart investment.

Link for that price?
Only SSDs I'm seeing for that price are Partial SSDs
Granted they aren't $150-200 since a 240, hell even a 120 would probably work if all you're doing is playing DUST, but 240 seems to be going for $80-90 range |

I walked into about 4 different stores and finally Best Buy when I couldn't take it anymore and I believe it was a PNY SSD. I wasn't about to order online and wait. There's no need for a top brand one cause they all work the same.
Check local stores, don't be afraid to go shopping around until you find one you'll get your money's worth.

You must have found it on sale, their site says $90 for a PNY 240 right now. There's a Sandisk 240 for $70 though, so it's not unlikely that they dip from time to time.
I personally couldn't see shelling out even a dollar more for this game, but if you feel it'll help your experience then it's not that expensive / hard to upgrade. |

The 500g I bought last year @Fry's (amd iirc) was right in that range.
DUST is by no means all I use my ps3 for so the 500 was a much better value for my money.
I think the other guy is correct about your numbers, that pricing sounds like a hybrid drive. Which is fine, but its not a solidstate.
My whole point was only partially the ssd. It was also the disheartening disincentive that PC payouts were stripped to make way for DKs and the promise of the DK market which has materialized now as being a militia bpo outlet store. Because PC is worth working for to get limitless militia gear.
Seriously, its like taking up high school athletics, training and competing to the Olympics, and then for a medal they hang a cafeteria lunch pass from your high school around your neck.

In terms of what kind of drive it is, trust me when I say it IS an SSD. I am in fact an IT professional (Network Admin and PC Repair) it is possible to find good deals, you just have to be willing to look.
Your price is based on a quote from last year, which maybe last year that was the price for it but prices are never consistent. Perhaps, yes on the internet they are but in actual stores they still rely on mechanics of supply and demand.

Why would you want a 250ssd on the ps3 at this time and age? Do you plan on putting games on it? Obviously you cant use that on a ps4 because it is way too small.
I made my ps3 a dedicated dust console so all i needed was a 60gb ssd. Now you can put 120gb's for the same price but that is because i bought mine way back in 2013 when i was playing dust night and day.
