I have been jumping on and off of this game to check up on it periodically, and every time I don't seem to have fun. The controls are clunky, lag is terrible, and I feel like I have paper armor and a BB gun.
I think everything about the game is great and I understand that it's a beta, but what is keeping you guys hooked? Do you not own any other games? Am I doing it wrong because I chug points into armor and weapon damage, than when I get into battle I rubberband around while people seem to get effortless headshots.
With that in mind I can't wait to see what the full release has to offer. But I was wondering what the rest of the community thinks. |

Jump into a corp. Make some new friends and have someone watching your back and picking you up. In game, just search in corps for 843 and put in an application, we'll help you out.
We've got cake, but Bob thinks it's a lie.
EDIT: When I get bored or frustrated I pull out my Saga LAV and go crush red dots. You might try putting some skills into vehicles and turn the game into Carmageddon. It's fun to see a black suit roll up on your hood and sparkle. |

The main thing that keeps me in this game is the potential. I want to be one of the people who experienced the game from this point in beta. Then when people complain about a small issue in the future, I can be all like "Back when I was in beta, we had to walk between NULL cannons uphill both ways in the snow" |

it's this plus i'm having fun exploring this new game and all the various fits you can put together. this is new ground. if you want to figure something out you have to do it yourself instead of just relying on a wiki to get you all the info you need.

Well, the thing NOW is the potential.

But the game isn't fun. Why would I spend a ton of time not having fun, just so I can be good in a game that isn't fun?
I already have games that I've spent money on that are.... Better. And it makes sense, because I bought them; they should be better than a free game.
I'm just kind of scared that the full release is going to be this bad, because I keep waiting for it to get better and it never does. And I love this new direction that CCP is going in, so I want it to work. |

I dunno, I get pretty frustrated at times at the game, especially when you wish people would stop being derps and start skilling into something besides sniping.. but than I see 13 snipers on a hill and the other team has like Aur snipers and its just no fun at times, so I feel you. and than someone tries to spec into AV and they just go down and than your heart sinks like the titanic.
I dunno if we all LAV spammed from behind the redline, we would be able to make some headway but people are stupid and dont spec into militia gear when all hope is lost. |

Proper Betas are rarely fun. D'ya ever play the early PS2 Beta, I lol'd for a week about how bad it was.
Game is quite fun when you meet people and work together. Get your skills up and it becomes easier to match other players. The game is very rage inducing though, I'll give it that.. I'm looking at the guys who like rolling over me in LAVs primarily..

find your niche
as much as our more hardcore eve and dust players make fun of COD and MAG etc
I personally am playing a similar build to an old COD build.
I had two
in the ww2 versions I used a scoped m1garand (tac ar) though havent done anything with taht this build
then in the modern iterations of cod I tend to go pure speed with an SMG. This I have been doing to great amusement.
now I am just trying to find a niche, something that makes me valuable other then shooting things.
so testing out drop uplinks and soon hacking ,sapping, maybe medic skills etc.
remember this is beta nothing will carry over, experiment. |

I underlined your main problem.While this is still just a beta,many are playing it like it's the real thing,and thus casuals that are only playing a few hours per week are going to get schooled.
With your lack of consistent play,you aren't getting acclimated to the slower than most shooters controls.I'll agree,it should be a lot smoother,and the lag is pretty bad at times,but again,not playing much is only going to make you compare a beta that's not finished,to finished games.

it is a pretty dull game as games go but being a beta, you gotta grain of salt that mutha.
if they would make more of the "world" part of dust availible it might bump up the quality a bit, but then again probably not.
really it comes down to the players.
the majority of console gamers are:
1. not actually here
2. really not capable of playing a game like dust. check the sales on cod and you can see where their "skills" lie. if they can't twitch... they *****.
this is such a small, small, tiny capsule of a community right now there really is nothing to do in this game that can't be done in battlefield 3. well... bf3 actually has clan support.
oh yeah... all this grinding and griping.
and it gets wiped in the end anyway... another reason to dial it down.
Peace
