Dust has 5-6 thousand players playing at any givin time and these two player bases don't add up quite right. Hey guess what u guys must like this game so much you went out and advertised to friends and familly. Hey guess what this hame is in open beta with a quarter of active players as big name titles like cod and bf3. Dare u to wait a month for ccp to let there advertising department loose on dust and u start seeing it plastered on big name web sites, tv channels, and possible coming to a park bench near u.

I started laughing after your said DUST hasn't been at a gaming convention since 2009.

Himiko Kuronaga SyNergy Gaming EoN. 341	Posted - 2013.05.08 20:59:00 - [2] - Quote Yup. Although to be fair, those were Eve peak numbers for a long time. Different standards. I have no intention of paying for any more boosters until this aiming is fixed though. Its somewhat insulting to even call this a shooter at the moment.

Baneus Secundi Intara Direct Action Caldari State 0	Posted - 2013.05.08 21:24:00 - [13] - Quote Seems fine. 5K isn't the peak, it's almost a continual number. Lowest I've seen is 3.5K. It only really becomes an issue if there are no battles available. And if you think they do matter, you have to ask why (from a players point of view; this game is financed by microtransactions and EvE subs). Is it a prestige thing? Is it like kiddies with their fake Facebook "friends" (more is "better")?

This, while the numbers aren't that high they stay consistent, every night I've logged in there's been at least 4000 players online, and the couple of timesaver logged in during the afternoon at 3pm BST, hardly a time when you'dexpectlarge player counts, there been at 2000 people. We don't have great numbers, but they're staying consistent throughout the day.

I started laughing after your said DUST hasn't been at a gaming convention since 2009. I'm serious though dust was first revealed at E3 in 2009 no one heard anything more till sometime in 2011 when CCP opened to closed beta for eve players then it was shown at 2012 eve fanfest after that they hit some smaller russian and japanese conventions aswell as showing it off at some eve player gatherings. But again CCP has shown dust at any gamescom or since 2009 they haven't shown up at any E3 dust has very minor marketing right now once the tv ad gets going ull see the numbers blow up but for what advertising they have done having more average active players throught the day then they have active on eve shows that 1 eve players like it and 2 it has the potential to attract non eve players
Django Quik R.I.f.t Orion Empire 438	Posted - 2013.05.08 21:58:00 - [16] - Quote Just for curiosity's sake - what are the player counts of these AAA games people keep comparing dust to?
Beast Beastlington Bragian Order Amarr Empire 255	Posted - 2013.05.08 23:07:00 - [17] - Quote Well, there were 440k players on COD: BO2 the other night.
Beast Beastlington Bragian Order Amarr Empire 255	Posted - 2013.05.08 23:10:00 - [18] - Quote Team Fortress 2 has 38k players on as we speak. Counter-Strike (all three versions) has about 90k. Warframe (Steam stats only - there are other ways to log in) has 15k.
Necrodermis GunFall Mobilization Covert Intervention 491	Posted - 2013.05.08 23:10:00 - [19] - Quote welcome to the world of FPSs. if your FPS doesn't meet even basic requirements it will die. honestly it's like the devs are winging it.
Covert Clay Red Star. EoN. 37	Posted - 2013.05.08 23:13:00 - [20] - Quote Wait, so are you saying that COD and bf3 are in the same division of FPS as dust?

Ofc its not as huge than cod, bf3 or halo but for a niche shooter its more than good. You all fail to the mistake to compare the numbers to the top 3 shooters or to PC games.

CCP WISHES Dust would have the same fidelity as that game. Two of the modes are eerily similar to Conquest and Rush. You'd swear the core gameplay of Dust is more complex...lol.

Frodaris Sortana 2100058545 DUST University Ivy League 48	Posted - 2013.05.08 23:42:00 - [29] - Quote With the amount of problems that Uprising currently has (SP Sink being a bit much terms of SP costs, Heavies/HMGs being nerfed, random disconnects STILL occurring, and so on), it is understandable that we have so little numbers compared to other games. Yes, Dust was not as heavily advertised as others, but with the game free to play alone, one would think that more people would at least give it a shot. I'll say this to CCP: Uprising is having plenty of problems right now, and you are currently stuck with having less players online than a free-to-play game would normally have. All I can say in response to that is this: Your move, guys and gals, your move...
Polish Hammer Conspiratus Immortalis League of Infamy 374	Posted - 2013.05.08 23:44:00 - [30] - Quote Alright, this is getting old. I'm specced into HMGs and I don't even do this much whining....
