The threads have been slowing down now though. It was mainly a bunch of crazy wild-eyed kittens who wanted to get their first impression out ASAP without sufficient evidence behind it who posted all those threads. I mean seriously, the stuff that was coming out BEFORE I had finished patching to Uprising was incredible, and I patched as soon as it was available to patch.

But yeah, the "CCP WTF HAVE YOU DONE" phase is almost over, I'd say. Next phase is the nerf phase which'll probably come after the new weapons are out.

How many people was playing before the new Build ?

- More People
- lest people
- Few people
- 1000
- 10,000

Do you know ? as far as we know, it is "possible" that is more people playing now, that it was a week a go. I personally just returned to Dust 514 for the new build, and i bet you allot of other people did too.

I think we are in the phase where fanbois slurp on CCP taint while the good players step back and take a breath for the next round of rage, I held my tongue till the build came out and i remained quiet and positive, now CCP has nerfed my laser, my tank and my mouse and it irritates me to have to listen to the scrublet fanbois being all sorts of smug over it.

Did you read the OP instead of just the thread title? I don't mean to sound condescending, but my thread isn't about player count at all.

Sorry... but you post sounds like another of those " No one is playing Dust 514 " or " Every one is leaving " topics... sorry if i was wrong..

BTW

"It's literally like everyone downloaded a different version of Dust 514 "

It is a different version of Dust 514.... just saying.

[quote=Panther Alpha][quote=Mobius Wyvern]
But what I'm saying is that every person downloaded their own different version. All these threads sound like each poster is playing a different version of the game from all the others.

Nahh, just people complaining about their favorite toy not feeling how it use too. Give it some time, people will stop complaining ones the learn the new game mechanics.

I seen this happen in so many games, that is lost the count.

I have too, but never to this extent.

I have, some times even worst than this. In fact, is not half as bad as i thought it will be.

You must have been in some pretty fearsome communities. Not even the Planetside 2 forums get this bad, though that might be due to the GMs banning anyone who disagrees with them and most people just giving up and leaving.

Rolf.. you should seen the Counter Strike community when Condition Zero was release....Ough!!

A year later.. everyone LOVED CZ ...

We're talking about the Devs having no idea what they're doing, but do we?

no we dont

These are just a few examples.

Everyone is playing a different game.

Are you guys reading all of these?

If you factor in all the threads talking about how the new gunplay and movement are both excellent and have ruined the game completely, I've gotta say that we are THE most schizophrenic community I have ever seen. It's literally like everyone downloaded a different version of Dust.

Just run a search for HMGs and read the threads. You'll find threads complaining that the HMG is now useless and that being a Heavy will just get you killed by ARs and Shotguns.

Now go search those two terms.

Threads on how each of those weapons is nerfed and that you can be easily gunned down by whichever the poster wasn't using.

I mean, is anyone else seeing this?

We're talking about the Devs having no idea what they're doing, but do we?

Tested the Uprising build and with an assault starter fit I used the militia SMG to gun down HMG heavies.
Discovered the laser had a worthless iron sight that also has an optical effect that blocks target vision makeing the laser worthless.

Scanners and profile skills are again broken.
Tanks got a PG nerf makeing them worthless.
Assault dropships are combat worthless but very expensive flying trashcans.

The only usefull weapons that work are the AR and to some extent the SMG.
AR 514.

Wheres the AR overheat skill that kills a user like the laser does??
Wheres the nova knife fix??

CCP trolled us on a few things.

Back to playing Skyrim, Tombraider, Dead Island, Borderlands 2, etc.

Wheres the AR overheat skill that kills a user like the laser does??

Again, read the threads talking about how ARs are now useless.

And do you really need to refer to changes as CCP trolling people? It's not accurate, and it certainly isn't helpful.

Nope no one is using ARs..........sarcasm.
But those same AR users post threads about how the AR is useless so that Dust will evolve to be AR 514.

Shuts off Dust 514 and goes back to Skyrim.

lol whut? or do you mean the 'heat glow' animation as per the patch notes (if you read them)

ps. in the future we are unable to automatically cut out a system before it overheats and blows up the user.. the future.. not really full of clever people then.....

HMG gets overheat and siezes for ten seconds leaving the user vulnerable to counter fire.
Laser over heats and siezes for five seconds leaving the user vulnerable to counter fire.
Laser overheats and kills user.

Wheres the sieze for an AR?
AR overheat?

Un pauses Skyrim and continues a Deadric weapon quest.

TBH I am worried about the health of the game. I am surprised but happy they gave us a player count tool on login.

The highest I saw the player count get in E3 was 3k.

The highest I've seen so far this build is 4.5k.


I am amazed that this game is FREE and hardly anyone is playing it. It's new, it's different, it's an FPS so why aren't more people jumping on the miniscule bandwagon to play the game?

I seriously don't understand why the player count is so low. One thing post E3 that made the game fun again was all the influx of new blood, I was tired of seeing the same 300 people in my games (still am). But for a week or so it was nothing but new people in the player lists and it was great.
