While I am here, I have noticed something that I wanted to bring up and hear some opinions...

Most of you have moved on to new games. I see AE/OH on World of Tanks, along with ESO and others. Now so many are on Division.

Let me ask you guys this. You all sit here and talk about who was the greatest, is the greatest, whatever. Best shooters and gun game. Where are all you scrubs on Rainbow? on Rocket? These dust stories and web series, you guys say nothing matters after the vets left. I challenge that wholeheartedly. Dust was/is an mmorpg. Things are OP, based on skill/grinding/gear/etc. How come none of you can transfer this "skill" you claim to have, to a game that does not allow you to grind your way to having a clear competitive advantage over your opponents? Instead, you move on to another mmorpg, where you can smash hobby noobs who simply don't have the time to get what you have. Or you can devise an OP setup that puts you in front of someone who, in fact, is skillfully better than you.

After getting away from Dust and returning to my Gamebattles/MLG roots, it dawned on me how much time I wasted on a game that was not based on skill - but on time, on meta. Obviously skill plays a role, but seriously? I really expected to see many of the titans from Dust flock to what is clearly the most evenly-matched competitive titles out there. But sadly, I see none.

When I say I played Dust514 to a competitive gamer, am I pretty much saying I played World of Tanks for 2 1/2 years? I spent $60 on Division....made it to like level 20. Garbage gear grind. Grand Theft Assassin's Borderland Destiny.

The time will come when an actual good FPS game comes out in two months.

While you were bragging about how MLG you are you forgot to mention your losing record in said "gamebattles" and the fact that you get dunked on by DK in rocket league.

TLDR: piked

Difference is when the vets played the playing field was closer..I had 6m sp now 82..the disparity in sp you see now wasn't a big deal back then.. I do fine in most games but seeing as siege is team based a soloist such as myself doesn't enjoy it, guess that means I lack skill

Destiny is all about what is fotm for pvp so not much of a difference from dust

I see what you're saying at this point dust takes no skill but as for gaming I really don't anymore..there's nothing I enjoy anymore..=ƒÿ¡

I'm confused here.....DOOM?

Ah COD.

Amazingly built FPS game.

Never been a fan of it. For multiple and various reasons.

Plat 3/Diamond on Siege Kaisar, over 100 hours logged as sledge. Check out my youtube channel for hammer kills in ranked matches. I've got tons of footage I still need to trim/upload, but the link below will give you an idea. College definitely takes time away, I'm pretty much in the same boat.

Hammer of Justice

For Rocket Badger, Silver ranked last season...just placed Challenger III for Doubles/Standard. About to hit Master neckbeard. I'll add you later, long as you aren't a penguin

Kalante check out the DOOM freeze-tag MP gamemode....enjoy

Agreed though OP, it just made sense to see gun-game inclined players transfer to the next tier. Sigh, I digress.

What you on about?

Back when dust first came out it would take you a months to get 6mil sp and into a proto suit.

Now you can get into a protosuit and 6mil SP in 1 day. With virtually no SP limit cap for a week and triple stacking booster.


It was much harder to compete when dust first came out because you had to grind so much to get into a proto suit then you would just beat the sh*t out of the people who did not.


I would much rather have 20mil sp and take on someone with 100mil sp, f*ck make it 1bil sp now. Rather than when dust was young and have 1mil sp and go up against someone with 10mil sp. Back when "Vets" played the difference between 1mil sp and 10mil SP was weeks(Months) of grinding and a militia suit and proto suit.


"Vet" titles make me sick and i started playing before most others.

Yeaaa sorry heim/dubbs...but vik is 100% correct.

Vets back when I started in Uprising had 6 months advantage on me. My dragonfly assault was wet paper to proCal + DuvTac. I wouldn't say I was on near-level playing field until about Christmas of that year (2013). The gap was atrocious.

We think this game provides us with drama....any competition is drama. Hell, I'm starting to recognize all the top-tier diamond ranked rainbow players, because we play them regularly. The top tiers are always a smaller neckbeard community that will start to get involved within itself = drama. The MLG ladder sees many teams fold and merge or start anew, just like dust. Except for the fact that its no longer about gear grinding.

Loldivision. Wish I had purchased the hard copy, so I could at least trade it in for a controller or some sh!t.

I think the spirit of what he's trying to say is that if people were such FPS gods, why hasn't he seen a similar performance from those players on other game?

Which is a valid observation.

There are multiple things you could draw from this, none are mutually exclusive.

1. Dust "vets" prefer niche FPS games, and thus you don't see them in other titles

2. Dust "vets" are one trick ponies, who were only good at dust and not other games.

etc etc

At the end of the day, not much really matters. Top tier in dust was always a kind of misnomer with the small community. The smaller the pool (especially with large teams), the greater the deviation for the top tier.

The reason why you have not been seeing similar performance levels on other games is because DUST was a pretty simple FPS with a very small community in comparison to other video games of it's category.

Some of the vets I've spoken to have noted that Regnyum is amazing at DUST, easily one of the top players, but when playing COD (I think COD was the specific game mentioned by this person) Regnyum wasn't nearly at the same performance level compared to DUST.

That's just a great example and quote from one of the older well respected vets in the game.

Why are you using an alt when the game is literally dying in a couple of months?

I

My point was for the competition in PC, it was all similar back then..I don't feel like naming corps so Eon/NF/Rofl/Bunnies/cronos/Loi/Orion...this was the competition sure if you joined late you'd get bent but that's how Eve games work

Vet isn't skill it's how long you've been here

What vets are you guys referring to? Cause the vets that i know that left the game are beasts in every game that I've seen them in. MAG, BF (any of em), PS2, etc. I can go on.....players just need to accept what is.

What players left dust and are trash elsewhere? Name them...please
