im not sure what people are complaining about and asking for compensation for.
you guys bought the entire pack for the price of the AURUM alone. everything else (beta access, additional exclusive content etc) was free. of course that is only because right now the pack is on sale. but you have no right at all to ask for compensation for paying.
what if there was no pack, and you had to wait for the game? are you the kinda person to ask for compensation on getting left out? i should hope not. if you plan/planned on buying AURUM in the game on release...there is no real issue i dont think. cos all you did was buy it early....and oh look CCP were nice enough to give you beta access and a couple of gifts aswell. how about that. they have more right asking for that extra stuff back than you do asking for compensation for getting access to something that for all intensive purpose you do not have any right to be in. being in the beta of ANYTHING is a priviledge, an honor and a great opportunity to know the dev's, know the project and understand the dream of the minds behind what you are playing and why they work the way they do. it used to shape worlds, fulfil fantasies and accomplish dream like experiences for both the player and the dev. we work together to make something that was once thought as finished (or close to it) complete. this game is of course a different kinda project....so not all of that applies, but you get what i mean.
it sounds to me that you got into this beta for all the wrong reasons........that isnt our fault.....or CCP's. its yours. life is full of mistakes. CCP have realised this buy letting someone like you buy the pack.....and they will have to live with it. you will have to live with expecting special treatment and no one giving it to you....
...not even a hug...and we all like hugs :) |

You bigbry are something of a mentally challenged individual.
This is a BETA! you know what a beta is dont you? oh wait, maybe you have no idea what a beta is. mainly because this is one of the few proper beta's you actually see these days.
for the past few years we have seen betas being released for people to play. for example, crysis 2, gears of wars 3....hell even after mentioning these two game you can probably see where i am going with this. THEY WERENT BETA'S! the game were finished, running really well. hell epic games announced that gears of war 3 was finished about 6-9 months before its release. but they just said that they were gonna delay the release anyway to "not get lost in the other late spring releases" that year. what they meant to say was "we wanna make as much money as we can out of this as its gonna be the "last one" " and so they release a "beta" to keep the hype high. crysis 2 was very similar. These two games didnt release beta's...they release demos and there is a massive different.
Dust 514 is a proper beta. its nowhere near finished and its wise as hell for people to get into it now! why is it wise? well lets see....THE GAME IS MASSIVE (or will be anyway) and so much can go very very very very wrong. no one has done anything like this before with a game, merging EVE and Dust514 has so much potential if handled properly. guess what....they are handling it carefully...which i would say is the proper thing to do.
and you can shut the hell up about MAG. if you had player it from the very very early days (like myself) and claim to be as much of a MAG player as you are....you would know fine well that MAG SUCKED early on. it sucked sooo much ass. they tried a big task. and it took them ages to get it where it is now, and its not perfect no by any stretch of the imagination. and COD? my god man....you must be a hoot at the parties. assuming you have friend cos you appear to be a closed minded, unimaginative kind of fellow.
COD has nothing on what dust is/will be, nor does MAG. THIS IS A BETA! you think MAG is so much better, go back to it! BETA testers need an open mind. the dev's need those open minds to mould the game into something great. it what CCP have always done and i tell you now....Infinity Ward would never extend the same courtesy of getting the people so involved in a game that they will be playing. CCP are great developers and this is their FIRST time stepping in the FPS side of things. but this is CCP. an FPS has been done before, therefore is not enough to feet their imaginative and daring attitude. so they are making it half of another simultaneous running game. NO ONE HAS DONE THIS?! so you have nothing to compare it to in the grand scale. onthe FPS side of thing, yeh sure, it needs tweaking. hundreds upon hundreds of posts that say this though. the difference between you and them is that most of them are constructive. almost all of what you are saying isnt.
if you want Dust514 to have "the possibility of being a good game that isn't just a repeat of COD" ....MAKE IT HAPPEN! dont just moan and ***** about it being broken in places. it helps no one, its not constructive, it solves nothing and it just makes you another one of the people that are bringing down the state of the human condition.
for every problem, there is a solution. propose solutions! or....just go back to MAG. compared to dust514....that game is tiny. and what's even more weird is that when DUST514 comes back, and is fixed and running how it (and only it) should it running. you'll come back....you know you will. and you will have had nothing to do with it. so you would be playing someone else game that you had little or no input on. itll still be better than everyone else's FPS's. i have little doubt of that for sure. but you will still moan and moan and moan. but its your own fault that what you would like fixed is in that game....because you decided to moan when it was being made, rather than make it better.
ITS A DAMN BETA!!!! |
