well its better than once a year call of duty, and battlefield are going to have.

I don't know what crawled up some peoples ear lobes these days however but most beta's are not perfect and are still works in progress. Console betas just plain suck though as most of the time it is a completed product.

Dust 514 barely has all the features its planning to have over the next 10 years. This isnt like mass effect which most of the DLC stuff was already or mostly on disk and you bought access to that part of the disk whent he clock is right to give players reason to keep comming back months after release.

In dust 514's case majority of the assests are not constructed yet, not existent yet, and not even thought about yet.

I know there is a large amount of furstation at the rate of development, on the flip side the developers are wishing for more time, deadlines are fast approaching and they're been in busy mode ever since getting on TQ. Just being on TQ probably ate so many resources and time it is very hard to conceive how much effort it took to make that possible.

After all Dust 514 is a very very special Eve Online Client with different skin and display engine.

Maybe people like you need to quit the beta then. Its obviously not healthy for you. Then the simple fact you're trying to play this game as a gamer and not a tester is not helping the game development, telling me to play more? How about you test more? I am testing more than you are at least. Right now I am investigating loss of modules when you get revived and seeing if its possible to lose modules outside the battlefield.

Go ahead ***** and whine about balance issues, thats something you have access and I wont for years with the skill points the way the are. I am tracking down bugs and stomping them.

I do community work where I can becuase I am away from my ps3 most of the day and its the only thing I can do while away. If it means answering question in local on how to play, commenting on live streams on helping out the player figure the game out, pointing players to where they can join corps, point them on helping file petitions and where to file and how to file them, submitting bug reports, answering player questions on the forums, brining off site news to this site when the community devs miss out a bit.

I would like to play more but I have college to attend to and things to do in real life that need not concern you either scrub.

Its a beta, its in testing, its not done, wtf do you expect? eve online?

Just a heads up, there have been plenty of unreleased games that cost money. Remember that last NFS demo that cost like 20 bucks? Or Dissidia 012: Duodiecium Prologus? And how about the Planetside 2 beta last year? This scene look familiar? And the money you spent here was voluntary, not necessary for you to get to play. If you regret your purchases, that's your fault for spending your money on an unfinished product, not CCP's.

Also, you are getting far to excited over this. Let it play out. If you want to leave, then leave. No one is twisting your arm here. Leave and come back when you feel it's lived up to your expectations if it ever does, but don't blast others for having faith in CCP just because you feel you were let down. YOU are the one keeping you here, go play COD since you feel it's so "epic from the start". Go play Planetside 2. Play BF. Hell, play ANYTHING ELSE, but unless you are going to be constructive, quit mucking up the forum with pointless whining about how bad the game is and how slow it's progressing even though you spent money on it. That does absolutely nothing to help things along here. You want it to progress faster? Maybe quit starting arguments like this so we can have constructive conversations without getting distracted by this kind of BS.

Do I sense a feeling of jealousy?
Do I sense a notion of ignorance as well?
Do you realize that I mostly test the game, write down problems and submit bug reports while they're fresh on my mind?
Do you realize that I take testing priorities over gaming priorities?
Do you realize that as much as I would love to play the game, due to real life priorities which makes playing the game even possible have to tended to?

So lets break this down...

Last kills states reset was Jan 10th, there have been 55 regular days since then.
Of which only 16 of those are weekends which I normally don't play so that reduces the number of days to
39 Days

I get one hour much less on a business day give or take to play dust 514. While I would like to play dust much longer I have things to do as mentioned earlier.

Matches are give or take 20 minutes apart with down time between for restocks, skill upgrades, logging bugs, issues, stats, thoughts on weapons used and trying to recall any abnormalities of that fight if any, shopping new items and the sorts of breaks plus the spin up to the next match. I also check posts between matches to make sure what I experience is not already logged or unique on the forums this takes time as well as people don't catalog their bug naming conventions.

So that makes it about 48 kills a day if it where to be spread out on days I can or could play and well there are times I have less than an hour to play in. So there are and have to be days I do well over 48 kills in less than an hour to make for days I have missed during the business days.

Now you want to talk about team work? what about the logistics with only 500 kills since reset? yet he has more WP than you and I combined? is he a scrub?

Or what about that guy with 4000 kills but 0.25 win loss ratio? you call these guys scrubs all the time but according to your newest statement he's a big boy?

Or how about that ash-lands skirmish mode is the only one tracking kills for a few days and took sometime to fix? Oh you're too busy e-peen stroking your latestunphased kdr was during that time probably.

The point is I don't play at all
I TEST the beta.

And that entities you an opinion over a casual gamer who's gear behind and having to deal with scubs with prototype gear?

Let me counter that your opinion is less valid because you have a formulated an idea of 'how things should be.'

Also the way you're pointing out your own arrogance and unwelcoming tone on how your pro club is its own special circle jerk as you like to call it is far more exclusive and much more entitled than any other 'club' in the game and that your opinion matters more than anyone else including the scrubs the new guys the casuals the freebies or payers or the very cannon fodder in your own squad, because I have never particularly recall anyone special in your squads. and unlike Regnum I have seen you twice since reset.

Hey guys. Old time beta tester here.. left last summer when the game started going down hill. I thought I would come back to see how the game is progressing, and this thread pretty much sums things up for me. Nice to see some of you old timers still here.. beers, noc, cyn.. had a blast playing with you guys back in the day.

I once had great expectations for this game, but lost faith in CCP's ability to deliver.. I'm amazed you guys have hung in there this long.. LOL

Guess I'll download the game to see what's new, but I'm not very optimistic from what I'm reading here..
