it shows all that are connected to sisi

or its only picking up EvE online players in sisi just a thought

but that would not make a very good drama post i guess

where does it say its not showing everyone anymore?

MAG in its current form, even in its beta days beats dust hands down for quality FPS gameplay, despite its own issues such as no clan battle...

Now that's a total crock of $h!7.

MAG was great,but now it's a free-for-all where anything goes,because there's no gate keepers to make sure that things aren't getting out of hand.

All of the glitching,lag,and lack of players meaning that most of the maps are unavailable to play,make that game worse than getting paper cuts on your genitals.

Dust has a long way to go,but I'd rather play this than MAG in it's current state any day.

I actually went back to try out MAG last week, and borrowed my friends copy even; what I found was horrible. The game is nothing as it once was, and the players are worse then Warhawk and Warhawkers (which I am). Still the game is horrible now. Anyone who says MAG today is better is day dreaming of nostalgia. Because, let me tell you I have some fond memories of MAG, and it's now an ugly bloated, rotted, viscous, degenerated bile of crap.

A big part of it is probably the SP gain / cap, it really strips away a lot of incentive to play, especially for casuals.

Actualy SiSi Stats So unless everyone stopped playing on the 1st October, the site stopped counting dust clients once the Codex went live, the sudden spike since the 19th is because SiSi is now open for EVE players again (for a few days).

TL;DR

Dust is not dying, OP can't read stats right.

the devs can see the 7+ year plan try explaining that to someone that just came from one of the other shooters. they need to get a grip tbh. mmofps- yeah whatever!

mic shouldnt be required to play this game just an option. just saying.

no, people want a game EXACTLY like this, but the beta doesn't hold up to the hype CCP made it out to be.

One of the things that made me say "I WANT" is the commander role, playing RTS in an FPS tickled the hell out of me. I was going to specialize that role and be commander like no other, but nope, not even any word about the class.

Maps are too big, 16 vs 16 for this games idea is too small, vehicles either are useless or dominate an unprepared team, and CCP doesn't seem to want to relax our anxiety over this game at all. There's several threads stating how distraught people are by CCP and how they're handling the builds and whipes and yet no reply to even say, "It's okay peeps, this is only half our features compared to the real game."

Oh, but they're more then willing to comment if we bump a recruitment thread. o.0

NOBODY wants a game that simply makes you better just because you play it more, nothing rewarding about killing someone and knowing it was all due to your equipment vs your opponents equipment

"NOBODY wants a game that simply makes you better just because you play it more"

you're high.

that's exactly what happens: you play more, you get better. the game rewards you with unlocking better gear, you play more, you get better.

what you want is "montessori video gaming" = everyone comes in first because the devs do a bunch of handholding to protect you from the facts that you are finding out right now. you weren't as good as you thought you were and now this game proves it to you because better players own you and you blame the game.

typical.

leveling systems are the biggest crutch in the history of video games, your a fool.

What? Sorry but I disagree, no one wants another Call of Duty where the only thing you can do to advance is get more (pointless) OP weapons. If I put down 100 hours on this game and the person I'm facing just started, I better own his face, especially considering it costs ISK that gets taken from me on death to be better then him.

And to push my point further, militia gear kills well enough of the majority of players. So what if you have to run from a heavy, you'd have to run from a tank too, no difference, both put up ISK to be where they're at. You're given enough starting SP to not be completely useless if you spec right. And if you find you did mess up, start over.

A proper reward system is exactly what FPS is missing, but it's also missing RPG elements imo. Killzone 3 was nice, just wasn't much fun once you realized you should grab an LMG and crouch everytime you see an enemy for perfect aim.

Ever try playing SOCOM, or Warhawk then? Those would easily fit your needs. Leveling systems though are not a "curtch", but is a helpful incentive to continue playing as it makes you feel rewarded.

You know,I still have my copy,and occasionally I'm tempted to go back for a few matches,then I have to slap myself in the face and remember how absolutely horrible it was when I stopped playing around five months ago.

I,and others have to realize that MAG is a mere hollowed out husk of a shell that it once was,and those glory days of that game are long gone,and are never coming back.

Don't worry the game will survive as a PC port :)

That's the problem it's completely devoid of skill. It's whoever has the better gear wins not who is the better player.

yea, knowing the game/maps/modes ect is a huge enough advantage in every other game and too throw more advantages on top of that is crazy.

Yeah this game isn't you play more you get better. It's you play more get better gear which makes you better.

Maps are too big, 16 vs 16 for this games idea is too small

You just said it and contradicted yourself right there.The maps aren't too big,it's that the squads are too small.

Seems like there's a new thing to QQ about every single week.

First it's the AR's are OP,then it's the strafe speed,now it's that the maps are too big.

Always something with you people.

Except for the fact that with Dust going to have something around 3000 maps,how can you ever get use to them? You can't.

Unlike every other shooter where you play the same maps over and over and over again until you learn every single nook and cranny,you will actually be in a lot of territories for the first time all the time,putting more emphasis on team play,and not making this just another run and gun shooter,that tries to pass itself off as a squad based shooter.

Maps are to big for 16 v 16 increasing squad cap wont make the maps smaller. Only player count can do that.

LOL every single dust map looks like a copy of the previous one, no originality in them at all.

Infact i can make a dust map on unity 3d in about 5 minutes

But if the player count on a said "too big" map were increased by say 2x,then all of that open space wouldn't seem like such a big deal.I bet if it were 16 vs 16 on a MAG domo map,that would seem too big too,wouldn't it?see how that works?

Man,I thought I'd never see the day that anyone was actually complaining about a map in a shooter being too big.

No one wants another COD? maybe not you but black ops 2 is shaping up to be the highest selling game OF ALL TIME.

This game won't put 1% of the numbers online that COD does.

There is no incentive to play this game once you've missed out on the head start, newcomers will get destroyed to the point of never wanting to play it again.

You need to have balance in a competitive play, and so far, there is not and only seems to get worse every build.

Every single good thing about this game is still on PAPER and not one thing in the game play is truly impressive

Hell the game still looks the same from the video FROM 2009

I'll rip your chest hairs out
put em in my mouth
I'll squash you like I squashed The South.
I never told I lie and I won't start now
Your'e a horse with a limp
I'll put you down.
