You guys probably forgot, but War Room actually used to be closer to the News Room, where we had people writing up paragraphs, even linking sites with Blogs giving us daily reports on all the corps and there doings in MH.
My favorite among these was an incredibly talented writer who always ended his reports with, "And that's why I hate it here."
They stopped during the EoN Wars for obvious reasons. The game never recovered after that point.
And I honestly don't believe some of you are nearly as biased as you post, but others of you are honestly as dumb as you look.
That dude wrote for Dust Reports, I remember reading his works as well.

There's still good, fun people here.
I doubt anyone plays on Dust's own merits anymore.
I can see that. I certainly have my own reasons for being here; being the fact that I did have friendships and met people on here I valued and there really isn't any other forums to go on and write. The layout for the different forums accessible online are not really laid out very well; the web designers could use some serious help. I also don't really have much time for video gaming with my current schedule and maybe it has to do with responsibilities and becoming an adult, but I don't really enjoy video games that much anymore. Besides that, I don't know about you all but I really don't feel inclined to play DUST ever again even if it were ported over to PS4 or PC. CCP has drawn this out for far too long and it sort of leaves a bad taste. If only there were a list large enough for the amount of things CCP could have done and did not do. Everyone here would disagree, we want to play Dust, it's just kinda unplayable right now. We're PC players, pubs frustrate us, players not giving there all and acting they're a part of our cut throat universe takes us out of the experience, which si why we treat them like peasants. And right now PC lags out, doesn't start, and is just plain broken. I doubt there's even 2 active PCing corps right now daily. If the PC servers ever got fixed, a lot of us would hop back on to melt faces once again, but that lag is UNBEARABLE.
GD is really pissing me off with this ****.
They don't want EVE: The FPS.
The want COD: EVE.
Lets make everyone a winner!

Arma is a milsim game I play on the weekends with a group.
Lots of fun.
That's not my POV, I was actually running overwatch for those guy from about 400 away with my SR-25.

The only reason most of us are still here.

Ouch, that would sting...except you just insulted yourself. Considering I was born in Uprising, no prior affiliation with eve, building a team from scratch of post-Uprising players...I'm more than satisfied with the outcome. My relevancy or legacy isn't reflected by/in you, nor do I require the affirmation. Rather, my joy derives from the stories my guys and I trade among ourselves. Haven't taken the time to read this thread at all, so I wouldn't know any better anyway. Adaptation illustrates who is best at this game, and their length of prevalency....with a pinch of luck. Darwin514. Btw, miss you too sweetheart. Our conflict and subsequent wars compile some of my fondest memories. <3
It'll be a sad day if this game ever does die.
Most of us have been fighting each other for a few years now.
The War Room would probably be heartbreaking to read through the last few days. Like when the Red Wedding happened and the War Room was filled with retirement posts from older players.
I hope that day never comes ;_;

Cap has been arguably a top 5 team since January 2014...but there's never been a point I'm aware of where people have thought of Cap as the number one team in the game..maybe while FA was rebuilding after everyone left the game round 2 after rouge wedding? But even when I got back from Destiny Shep was the one who told me that Cap tried to attack FA and were repelled...during the time that we were on destiny and ergo weaker.
I still think highly of Cap, but that's sorta why they aren't often mentioned in these conversations IMO. They were a great team that occupied the top in the absence of the teams that previously surpassed them..It would have been fantastic for their rep for Cap to have dominated OH. Or if Cap kicked AE now out of PC...that would be impressive.
Pretty much this. Yet, I take pride in this. For the most part, we always used our own guys. I remember asking Cubs to not ring for our opponents, because we were beating them consistently and wanted fair fights (VC/Px1/WR/TTD/others) - his response was he wouldn't take payment to not fight (no quarrels there). It was never about the isk to me...it was about climbing the ladder. Field my guys, you field yours, let's see what we got. I believe everyone here who has been my opponent at one time or another can absolutely confirm this. We never dominated OH. As much blood as we shed against each other, it inadvertently formed a bond between us that lasts even to this day (minus radar, have literally never talked to him). This desire to fight overwhelming odds earned the respect of teams like OH/AE/NS. We never really fought FA before Tso's because yes, AE and ERA wanted the fight. FA has always had the clear advantage in terms of lineup compared to us, this I can't deny. CAP has NEVER had all star players...ever [go ahead, try and name some]. We won by team cohesion alone, role comprehension and execution - I wouldn't trade this for any all star. When you get smashed together, yet stay as one, the grit that forms simply can't be overcome. Cinderellas. Never locked to stay in MH, never rang out entire teams to earn wins. My self-righteous preachy attitude never really belonged in this cut throat atmosphere, I realize that wholeheartedly. But I never sacrificed that philosophy to achieve victory. Kick AE out of PC? Ha...I'm just an old clone now. My fire has been nearly extinguished. Senior year takes up way too much time to no life anyway. If only I could write my thesis with as much fervor as the words printed here.
You could probably write an analytical thesis on the meta and drama of Dust514 if you really wanted to.
In the states at least, so long as its well written and sourced correctly, they'll let you write about damn near anything. Its more of an evaluation of your ability to write a damn good paper than anything.

I have all of dust's PC history in its entirety on the palm of my hands. I can see who is being biased here. I just wanna point something out to YDUBBS. I know that he is in my corp and has high views of EoN since he was in it but do not say that TP was this dominant force for three months when i have pictures of AE and TP butting heads equally.
I'm sad that I missed chromosome. It sounds like a really fun time.
I came into Dust in late open beta with Intrepidus XI and a whole bunch of friends from BF3.
Shoulda came in sooner

FTFY And I have no qualms about it. Everyone has lull's in activity. "KEQ" still 5 capping FA these days? It's a sprint not a race and when beating a corp on it's last leg using majority ringers is the shining achievement...lol I guess even a blind squirrel get a nut every now and then. Doesn't change the years of emotional damage that lead to such underwhelming bragging rights. I 5 capped KEQ along with 5 TP. I don't see any ringers in that picture just FA getting bent.
I don't see any players in that picture either.
For all we know it could be an AE/TP/OH/KEQ/Whatever dream team against 15 Faction Warfare Army and Patrick leading them into glorious victory.
Though I'm not going to lie. I have no doubt that we got 5 capped by KEQ at least once. Everyone has off days.
However, my distinct memory is that KEQ mostly fielded their top 5 players, and got ringers from other teams to fill it. KEQ didn't earn those victories through gungame or strats, their diplomacy did.

At the time, KEQ had a few players that would be worthy to be on the Anti-FA dream team.
Only a few though, 5 at most.
For the dream team of all time? Probably not.
Actually, what would the all time dream team look like?
