Ever since the 2vRust war our member activity entered a death spiral. For many reasons you can probably guess, other games like MGSV, Fallout 4, etc. being a lot more appealing than doing the same daily grind. The biggest problem was our leadership eventually went completely inactive. Paychecks would rarely be sent out on time, attacks weren't being sent out, defenses were sparse and low quality.

The whole reason the +å rebuild was so successful was because of our exceptionally strong leadership, when that started to fail its only natural that the opportunists would bow out. We knew it would happen eventually, even during the 2vRust war we discussed how when Fallout 4 hit SOGgy taco would overcome us simply because we would all be playing that instead. Thats pretty much what happened.

However, that isn't the major reason we stopped showing. I'm honestly disappointed it was allowed to continue for this long. Ever since Hotfox four, the server issues have become unbearable. When the countdown timer on the warbarge is rubberbanding everytime, there is a PROBLEM.

For most people a single laggy game puts them off, but for us we are used to it and push through it, hell we often blame ourselves and strive to take steps to prevent it.(here's my thread about that btw)

But WEEKS of non stop rubberbanding galore is just too much. It's gotten to the point where players who used to be known for their gungame simply spam explosives because their gun isn't fvcking working. Combined with the fact that we went from being able to field up to 3 teams at once to having 5 active members the day of 22 defenses was enough for me and ydubbs to move on to greener pastures.

Honestly at this point our core leadership is perma-done with Dust until something major happens. Pretty much don't expect to see us back unless its on a next gen platform. Its been fun o7 I hope for those of you that stay the servers get fixed soonGäó

The true hilarity is that two and a half years down the road this same narrative is still repeating itself.

Your a good warrior Ydubbs, it just makes you look soft making excuses.

I wish you the best Ari :)

Miss all you guys. :)

There is a difference between framerate drops and bugs where your gun doesnt fire or people skipping across the screen or bullets doing no damage to stationary targets.

We try to play through framerate drops but you cant play through game breaking bugs. Also, if you have 6 people in corp....you cant fight either. When the game is active.....you have friends that you can rely on in other corps. But when both corps in an alliance can only field 9 players between the both of them during their prime.....it is time to hang it up.

It sounds like uprising 1.2/1.3... The heyday of the mass driver... Because other guns didn't work. Great game you guys got there.

I would also like to point out that dubs is probably the most stand-up guy in dust... Not setting the bar very high here, but I think he would earn that superlative in a lot of groups.
