well i depends how mature they are and how , much reading they have done .

if they realise this is a beta and does not reflect the final product they shouldn't have been too put off, also if they have read some of these forums they will realise how far its come and how much is to come.

with respects to the server full bug, i presume that's why they took away the list of servers to get more people to test the instant battle option.

I have had to very different experiences with the new build. Being in Asia, when I did random instant battles in Asia I had almost no bugs and zero freezes or reset crashes. That being said, when I played in teams I had bugs and freezes almost every two or three matches. I am not sure if it was because these matches where in US/EU or if because I was in a made team, but it was a very different experience. I hope our PS Plus friends have had a better experience and are willing to give the game another chance.

Except being forced to play ambush over and over becomes failbush real fast.

I gave up on this build for CS:GO. Will try it again when its actually working as intended.

I think the number of show-stopping issues right now is probably such that an unlucky player attempting to play for the first time might have walked away with a negative opinion. Whether the number of people who might've had a server full bug, invalid fit bug, disconnect from game bug, then bad hit detection and game forces a PS3 reset series of bad events is a significant number is anyone's guess.

Disclaimer first: anyone whose seen me post know lm usually pretty positive....so with that out of the way

We just got a influx of new testers vis Ps Plus...and what happened...we cant even test.
I think lve averaged about 1-2 games in an hour session, due to not being able to connect, servers are full[thou l never actually see any servers listed..curse you Instant Battle]...and if you do get in a game its usually Ambush.

All the great things added in this build...and the new testers cannot even try it out.
Not the best impression, especially when word of mouth[or game forums], is what will get people to come play...or stay away in droves.
Ive personaly been hyping this game to my friends on Plus for awhile and they were excited...then not so. Not due to the game, but not being able to even try it out with any frequency.

I hope there is a fix coming ASAP so the new guys and girls can really see whats here and get the word out....cause it is a great game thats going to get better...we just need to be abe to test/play it on a more stable level.

P.S: Any Plus members please fill free to leave your comments on what youve seen so far.

Multi national groups kills you. I played with 3 US guys. Negative every game, horrible lag and just generally an unpleasant experience. I will not be repeating it.

Last build already killed Dusts reputation.

Don't worry buddy they only have got until September 4th. Then its back to normal.

Wait, so you guys think this build is bad compared to previous ones?!

Sure it's got bugs, but your all either very unlucky or there's some other issues going on imo.

I'm based in EU and have played many 8hour + sessions with friends in groups over the past week. I suffer maybe one or two crashes a night and that's it.

In previous builds, there were memory leaks everywhere, no grouping, free vehicles everywhere, dropships on roofs everywhere and these are just a few of the issues.

If anything killed Dust's reputation it was the E3 build and making the beta pay to play tbh. That first weekend we had 3.5K dust players in game, shortly afterwards we were lucky to get 300....

I get the feeling that Dust is gonna start out small and grow like Eve did. There's too many petty people about these days who don't understand the concept of a "Beta". It's much more than just a demo or sneak peek, but people don't get it and see it as a buggy piece of crap.

Making people pay for a buggy demo was a dumb move imo.

Still have no idea why you are here, playing 24/7.

Basically you've been negative about the game since day one.

Seriously Tony, you never actually say anything constructive except how much you hate x or y.

If you hate this game so much, please, please, please,by all means, go enjoy another game.

Stop trying to kill this one with your negative poison.

They shouldn't be talking about it at all. NDA, remember?

I think that maybe redundant now;

Joystiq Previews Dust514 Beta

I should have put that in the OP...will remedy that now.
