I played the Dust 514 Beta since Replication or maybe a build before it??
Anywho in the Codex build I lately am no longer playing every day and perhaps I am a bit burnout on this build??
Just wondering if others are playing every day or if daily playing sessions are being cut??
I.e. a few days ago I noticed my home theater center channel needed replacing and so I dropped playing Dust 514 and turned off all message notifications from PSN to be able to work on my speakers nonstop.
Redid HDTV mount to better isolate LCD so that I was able to play my system a tiny bit louder but I am running out of ideas on how to isolate the tv screen from the loud subwoofers.( four subwoofers with four plate amps for lots of boom! in very large DIY mdf cabinets).
I do play my system a bit loud:

heh. I play it a few times a week at most, simply because of the daily frusturation of being dropped from matches, cheap deaths, and miniscule SP gain. I liked it better when the SP gains were high, and the SP cap was daily rather than weekly. Currently I get an average of 5-10k SP per game, and 100k ISK. It doesn't really feel like I am accomplishing much at all, and it feels like a grind just to level up with barely any visible effects. I don't really feel "better" when I level up skills.
Dust could be more engaging in the RPG aspects of the game. Especially when the FPS part makes me more often than not frusturated and angry. The "Wow" moments of DUST compared to the "Arrrghhh!" moments have a usual ratio of 1:20. |

I'm still playing as much, but it's never been every day or for hours at a time. RL intrudes enough that I only get most of the weekly cap and never get down to grinding a match for 500 SP |

This build just killed it for me , it looks pretty, more of the bugs have been sorted but you still have frame rate issues, (think they are worse this build) hard locks were still there last time I played .
And the most problematic issue is that this build the fun seems to have been removed compared to the other previous builds, so I havnt played foe quite some time. |

I've played fairly consistently since the second build, up until this build. I stopped playing a few months back thanks to the seemingly random nerfs and buffs, along with more consistent lag, more D/Cs, more invisible walls, more vehicle dominance, as well as the introduction of some fairly gimicky and useless weapons.
Now I can only fart around because there aren't enough people in the Beta to keep those with lower SP/ISK out of matches with hardcore players, and it seems like every single game I join is just a stomp fest for one of the teams. Very rarely have I seen an even match.
I'm hoping they don't wait too long to give us a new build, because this one has seriously and severely turned me off of DUST for the first time in a long time. |

I wouldn't really say I'm 'burned out' on this beta. I've been looking forward to the game for over a year now and I'm still hoping for a great game. The only thing is that I've not really been captivated by what I've seen in the beta...at least not enough to make it a 'play every day' kind of game. I really want for it to be, but it's just not quite there for me.
I'm not sure exactly what it is but the beta just doesn't seem very immersive to me so far. As I said, I'm still holding out hope that the final release will be an attention grabber, but so far I'm finding it fairly lacking. I am usually sucked right into most MMOs I've played...so much so that it becomes difficult to drag myself away from them to do anything else (including eating and sleeping). Dust 514 just doesn't have that kind of attraction for me so far, as much as I hoped it would.
So.....I keep checking back every few weeks to see what's new and hoping it's much better than the last time I checked. I bought into the beta back in the summer as soon as it became available for purchase and in that time things have improved a bit. They still have quite a way to go IMO, but they're getting closer I suppose. It still feels like an early beta version....hopefully that's a good thing because it means there's much more coming.
Again...don't ask me to explain exactly what's missing or lacking because I just can't quite place it. All I know is that it's not really an exciting game for me so far. I know the gun play is boring for me so far....maybe because of controller feedback, or maybe something else, not sure.
Sorry to get so carried away with this post. Didn't really mean it to end up being so long. I'm definitely not 'Burned Out' on Dust 514. At this point in time I'm actually wishing that I could enjoy it enough to have played it enough to become burned out on it. So far though, it's just feeling like another run-of-the mill, low-budget, low-tech, low-excitement level shooter.
It's still beta though, and I'm giving the devs the benefit of the doubt. Not giving up on it yet because I've been too excited about it for way too long. I just hope that I enjoy the final release much more than I have the beta these past few months. |

I generally come back for a few weeks every new build, complain about how broken everything is, then wander off into the sunset to find something better to do with my time. I think it's fairly natural, we're not paid QA. I'd be more worried about the people who don't get tired out by the rough unbalanced builds, as the game simply isn't good enough to warrant such fervent obsession (yet!). People who feel pressure to start their corps up and become super rad space mercenaries absolutely right now should just relax and chill, we've got a fair way to go yet before release. |

Fully agree!
I have no idea how someone can sit and play this beta exclusively. Sloppy controls, frame rate problems, lag, poor hit detection, etc., etc., etc. The only way I could spend more than an hour or so at a time suffering through this is if I were on the payroll. It really has a long way to go before it becomes the game I've been so excited about for so long. Hopefully it does eventually make it to playable status, but right now I can't see anyone but the most fanatical of the fanboys getting serious about it.
I hope you're right about having a 'fair way to go before release'. It's nowhere near ready yet and I would hate to see many would-be players turn away from the game on account of it being rushed to release. I want them to take all the time they need to turn this into an incredible achievement in console gaming. That's what I have hoped for it all along.
In the past few years I've been hit with disappointment from many games I had very high expectations for. All because greed drove the publishers to set a release date before the developers were able to complete their full vision for the game. So far they seem to be doing this right by leaving an open date for release, which gives them all the time they need to complete it in full. It's turning into an incredibly lengthy process but that's just fine by me. I will be perfectly content even if we play our first game on a PS4, if that's what it takes to release it in a completed and perfect (for the most part) state.
The whole concept of this game is keeping a long-term vision for it. There's absolutely no reason to hurry it to market until absolutely everything about it is hammered out perfectly. I'm looking forward to many years of playing this game but for that to happen it's going to need to be really magnetic for new players. Rush it to release and they will be rushing it to it's death....just like so many others in recent history!

It was a lot more fun when I could effectively work as a support character.
Now the only class you can play as that gets a good amount of points is a frontline fighter, which is what I've put most of my skillpoints into. |

play about every 2 days now instead of every day.. usually to to KIT with my contacts.. the sht frame rate is definately old already.. as soon as i start lag spiking i usually rage quit, when before i was able to just tolerate it, but i'm way burnt out on the sht frame rate.. don't even get me started on a hard reboot- it only takes one of those a night now and I have no immediate desire to go thru the painfully long relogging in process............................
it's waaaay old already if i wanted to play with this kind of bad frame rate I would go back to PC gaming with .5 gigs of ram..

Haven't played in over a month and won't play till I see bigger player counts....
The scale of dust 514 is a farce compared to Eve right now and compared to "other" free to play fps on PC with similar theme...
I will look in on the next build but if things don't change much I will continue to stay away.

Funny!!
The log-in is really, really long! I don't bother more than once either. Hopefully it's much more efficient in the final release.
What I thought was funny in this post was that you will 'go back to PC gaming with .5 gigs of RAM'. You're suggesting that you did at one time attempt PC gaming with .5 GB of RAM. I don't know how long ago that was but it's doubtful you would be doing it now. Hell, it takes more than 512kb RAM to play those crappy browser games I think. Probably couldn't even get a browser open any more with half a gig.
I do fondly remember those days though. Trying to chug through games on my Black Friday special, PC with its Covington Celeron 300Mhz processor, onboard Intel graphics and a quarter to half a gig of RAM. The good ole days of PC gaming (or attempts to) ignorance and frustration. My, my how times have changed!
3Earlier this year I built my first gaming dedicated PC. ASRock Z77 Pro 3 MB, Sandy Bridge, i-5 2500k overclocked to 4.8Mhz, 12GB DDR3-1800 RAM, 2X Radeon HD 7770 in Crossfire, 1TB Seagate 7200 HDD and 128GB OCZ SSD in RAID config...all inside of a CoolerMaster HAF 912 and using a Razer Naga Elite Gaming Mouse and Razer Nostromo Gaming Keypad.
Nowadays I know gaming computers and wouldn't have one that can't run the latest games @ at least 40fps on Ultra settings and I choose to stretch out on the couch in front of the TV playing PS3 while the PC is mostly used by my kids to play Minecraft and watch Youtube.
Sorry, I know this was way off topic...I just got a kick out of it reminding me of a time when I believed that a computer was a computer and none of those words written on the front label meant a thing to me. If it was a computer, it should play computer games, I had no idea why everything completely locked up when I put the disk in....surely I had been unlucky and gotten a bad copy of the game. |

I still play every day. As long as I've got a squad it makes all the problems with this build tolerable. And I figure the more practice I get in beta the better prepared I'll be when the game is released.
The current state of the game may not be very impressive but the possibilities are definitely captivating to me. |

game got mad boring. plus other stuff popped up that is more interesting, real world stuff, so not really that difficult a choice
but yeah, with no real clan support, just playing ez mode all the time, beating up on noobs and trying to haul half of the team to the winline... just dullsville.
they need to open up real clan support or do something new because as it is right now, this game is just feels like a flatline waiting to happen.
the release date for this game is sorta f'ed up now, too.
folks gotta decide to release stuff soon, well before gta v or wait til fall, well after gta v, cuz frankly, gta v is about to kick pretty much every game square in the johnson and walk away whistling.
at the very least there need to be some "city" style maps before this game is interesting again.
Peace
