ChromeBreaker SVER True Blood Unclaimed. 199	Posted - 2013.02.04 12:55:00 - [1] - Quote [THIS THREAD IS MADE TO BE LINKED] - http://bit.ly/DUST514facts This is DUST 514. There are some rumors, falsities, and complete trolls out there, that may have you confused, and/or disillusioned with this game. They have likely given you bad, or simply wrong information. This thread is to set things straight So from someone who has ACTUALLY played the game, listens and reads official posts and generally isn't a troll... HERE ARE THE FACTS: - This game is FREE to play. No one is/should be making you pay to play this game. - It is NOT pay to win. There is nothing in this game, that you can buy, that makes you better than anyone else. CCP is very aware of player views on this and are careful with what they offer for real world money. - NO more Re-sets. This is IT people. No more character resets. Your characters and skills are saved. - Updates are FREE. CCP will be updating this game for free. Multiple times. This game will constantly be developed. - Not just for Christmas. DUST 514 has a development plan measured in years. It is also written into, and going to be an integral part of, CCP's other successful game EVE Online. - This is a BETA. This game works! but it is still in development. It is a "true" beta. If you played it a month ago and played it now you would see a marked improvement. No game play feature is set in stone. So if you think something is "Unbalanced" report it. - This is a BETA (again). Needs to be said again. This is not a "finished" game! Game play, textures, balance, content. All are all improving/getting added to. Game stability (lag) is being improved almost weekly. Hope this helped clear things up a bit. Below are some very useful links that might also help. Links: Dust FAQ GamePlay Help Fanfest 2013 I will be updating this post, adding links and generally looking at this thread. If anyone can think of anything to add, post and i will see it

Hmm let me tell you what i got from merc packs: -all 3 mag variant suits (special offer together with the merc pack) -30 day booster -50 fused locus grenades (still have a nice stack of them and wait for the playermarket) -50 HKM4 prototype shotgun that does not require any SP - dragonfly scout suit - toxin SMG - 50 hacked uplinks 40.000 AUR (of course i got more then that but thats just the regular stuff) now im aswell aible to buy passive boosters to increase my SP gain even more. Another thing is you can buy weapons which are sooner unlocked then their prototype variants. Like the Killswitch or CBR-7 darkside swarm launcher and other stuff that gives you a advantage. So with investing money into this game you will have much faster access to better gear and better gear can be purchased even sooner due to the lowered SP requirement. You realize this thread specifically states you cant buy an in match item with AUR, that doesn't have an equivalent isk item... The only thing your paying for is getting them a little faster Edit: im just going to go and add more examples into the OP

I beseech thee once again!!" \o/ Please...Give this weary soul a concise quotable ruling on CCP's view of "play to win" and micro-transactions!! As of this time i realize CCP's business plans evolve and have to stay uptodate... (You deserved a +1 for answering anyway its all good)

While it's not completely true, it's not wrong either, since the AUR equipment and boosters do give you advantage over the unwashed masses. AUR equipment either have a slightly better attributes or have lower CPU/PG requirements, which will let you fit better modules/weapons before reaching suits limits. 50% from boosters is quite a big bonus. Sadly this game didn't chose the business model of a DOTA 2 for example. Those slightly differing stats are infact the next "tier" equivalent. (which you can get with isk) This is why there isnt an AUR version on the highest level gear... Aurum gives you things faster. Thats it.

ChromeBreaker SVER True Blood Unclaimed. 199	Posted - 2013.02.05 16:25:00 - [12] - Quote A bit of a shameless bump, but I have generally improved the OP (spelling ftw) and added more links (proof)
