With only 10.5mil SP and starting to play about 3.5 months ago, I've had a pretty wild ride. When I started playing I absolutely wrecked. I remember playing my very first academy game. I had no idea where to go, where to look for enemies or even what the controls were. I jumped on a Blaster Turret and got nearly 20 kills, that was my first 15 minutes of playing Dust, mowing down red dots on a turret.
So I was hooked and started to learn all the various aspects of Dust. I loved the depth and complexity but I was quickly becoming frustrated with fighting players who had better gear. I had the all too common experience of putting my gun into someone's back, draining the clip only to have them jump spin and near instant kill me. I couldn't understand how it was fair to put these 2 player types into the same game.
Then I realized its not fair and its total horseshit, that Dust was severely broken and many veteran players were spoiled little brats who think they've earned the right to crush noobs. Except these vets didn't want to acknowledge the performance disparity between suits, when clearly it was a glaring issue.
That's when I got my first APEX and started to care less about isk. I had a free suit that I could slay with and have fun. Suddenly Dust seemed like a polished turd and not a fresh piling of steaming crap! I could play how I wanted and not lose isk, brilliant! (Shout out to Kaltos Darksbane who gifted me my first APEX, most likely I wouldn't have kept playing if not for him - thanks man!)
Then I bought a merc pack and activated a 30 day booster. I started earning SP like crazy and went from 6mil to 10mil in very short time. I also got a respec and redid my SP intelligently and unlocked proto GalAssault. Now I can wreck other proto suits and melt lesser suits.
My gungame actually declined recently and I think it's due to sensitivity. Sometimes I spray so wildly I literally have to laugh at how terrible I am. I'm gonna try messing with the settings to see if maybe I'm just slowing down or catching up.
I also HATE the PS3 joysticks. Holy crap talk about the worst "action" on thumbsticks ever. I find myself damn near breaking them out of frustration every play session. I need to replace my controlled badly.
I remember going from PS3 Destiny to PS4 Destiny and the controller change alone was a huge improvement in my gungame. Then I returned the PS4 when it's wifi was weaker than the Ps3 and I had to subscribe to PS Plus just to get access to the same features I had on PS3 Destiny. Bullshit device.
TL;DR - Sucked until I got my first APEX. Getting better now that I can gain isk and SP with little risk. With more proto level gear, the game becomes easier and easier. |
