What with all the various opinions being tossed around on the frustrations of DUST's hopes and expectations and the recent NOVA curve, I wonder how expectations of what may come in NOVA as opposed to what did or did not come in DUST are affected by our individual initial draw to the game. So if you can really think back for a moment, how did you hear of DUST514 and why did you care about it at all? Was it just some random PS3 advert for a F2P shooter? Was it EVE related? Word of mouth? If so, how was it described to you by your friend? You get the point. I know these threads are a dime-a-dozen, but for those of you who have remained (at least in this forum community), I am genuinely curious what brought you here. In a way, perhaps it's more important to consider why you are still here. Please comment on that too, if you would? For me, I stumbled on it by mistake. I started EVE maybe a decade ago and played for several years. One particular update required more than my graphics card at the time could handle, so that was that. From time to time I would re-sub, but by then the interface, stats, or whatever else had changed so I just never really got back into it. A few years ago I remember reading an article or blog about some space-sim in development so I wanted to check up on it. It MIGHT have been Star Citizen, but I think it was before that and believe it was a one-word title but age and such leaves me confused more times than not. So meh. Anyway, searching for that random reference I stumbled on DUST514 information. Ironic that it was being developed by CCP. In EVE, I always fantasized of entering the atmosphere of some random planet rather than just passing through it as I did in warp. DUST seemed like the idea was there at least, so I requested closed BETA access. I saw that EVE players probably had their invites but I don't think I was subbed at the time. I registered from dust514.com. I stayed because of the variety of skills to chase. That aspect became somewhat like a collection addiction. Gotta catch'em all! Ya know? I haven't played in well over 6 months, at a guess. That's mostly due to returning to college to finish my degree this past Fall (a LONG overdue closure in my life), and various other real life distractions. But I still forum because I just enjoy seeing what people have to say about the game. Too, I enjoy(ed) the interactions and opinions of the dev staff. Whether it was honest feedback on some user-posted idea or just trolling nay-sayers, I always thought that was unique and ...good. Of all the divide on possible data transfers, I do hope that at least this one aspect of DUST makes it into whatever final incarnation CCP ends with. Bla bla. Maybe I'm just stalling getting to my job this morning, but it was an honest wonder. Alright. Time to get to it. Thanks, - meow. kitten bacon taco (nom)

Why are you still in forums if you do not play? Not being a smart ass! Just fishing for perspective. Thanks for the reply. kitten bacon taco (nom)

Was everyone like, "hey... there's a new thing down the road called dust. Team, ho! Let's go!!"? What linked you from MAG to DUST. kitten bacon taco (nom)

I'm curious: for the general FPS mindset is that a turn off? I has a hard time getting friends to login for that. kitten bacon taco (nom)
