Just saying but did anyone else notice especially with the aid of http://eve-offline.net/?server=singularity that the day of the tank "Nerf" (relative opinions and whatnot) that we had a rather interesting drop in players across the entire week in comparison to the last week. Now sure people can go on and on about all sorts of stuff in balance and fun and whatnot. But to me this sounds like a range of 100-500 players were fine with the way tanks were and the starting of nerfs may have put their confidence in the game off.

Take this how you will just wanting to share a observation.

Or maybe once they stop crying about it and realise they have to learn to play the game and not just hit the "i win" button they will be back.

LOL. I've been playing the whole time going +10-1.

I fail to see how a system crash can kill your HDD

if there really was a chance of that CCP wouldnt be releasing it for Public use because of the media backlash they would get, NDA or no.

When the system locks up, and you restart, you get a message that says something like "Your system didn't shut down properly. The hard disc may be corrupted. The system will check and this may take up to two hours"

I can't speak for everyone else, but I tend to be on less and less as each build wears on. There's a bit of a rush to play right after a wipe, both to check out the new stuff and to try and get ahead of the SP curve. Once I've got my character in a place I'm relatively comfortable with, I'll play a bunch more to take advantage of the benefits gained by the early grinding. After that, without definitive information regarding the next wipe, I taper off bit by bit. Then the announcement comes and I have to burn off all my excess cash.

Rince. Repeat.

I'm pretty sure that's just either 1, Sony covering their arse or 2. Shoddy Sony Operating systems.

Just saying >.> really easy to solve a corrupt hard drive if you know what your doing. But oh god you might void your warentee! *eyeroll*

I think this had more to do with the stability issues created by the hotfix an the introduction of the squad bug.

Beyond that, I've really couldn't be bothered with DUST as such at the moment.

LOL. I've been playing the whole time going +10-1.

Funny thats how i felt every game had 3 tanks running around blasting everything that moved, You know the AR is point and shoot you could try learning to use it.

Funny, I kept saying the same about wannabe AV people. Instead they had a circle-jerk in IRC and the DEVS caved and make tanks much easier to kill.

It is all about preferred play style. I'm no good at the "gun game", which is why I hoped Dust would differentiate itself from the other gun games out there, and use the knowledge CCP have from EVE online to make vehicles fun.

Vehicles (especially the LAV) are the only things in this game that is killable with just one hit of anything, without any effort what so ever on the part of the shooter. Guns, even FG's via infantry, you have to get out there, be exposed, but the AV role you can practically be hiding behind a hill, drop a grenade on the ground, let loose a swarm, or to some extend fire a Forge gun blast, and as you are OHK killing the vehicle, they really can't evade.

I haven't had the freezing issue.

I still play somewhat regularly, just to test things and give feedback here when I discover an issue. Alot of people who I play regularly with won't bother with the game at the moment because they really don't think it's much fun.
