Dust 514

"Professional Gamers" make me laugh. You must have such a difficult career.

Pro gamers would lawl at this game and your post, its vary easy to aim in.

The guns just get stiff on a full trigger, a pro gamer would trigger his aim to get back on target.

nothing to see here folks..

Actually the aiming in this game is horrendous. On top of the sloppy controls there's half a second of input lag.

So how come I played for 6 hours straight and saw none of this?

I'm seriously starting to think the build deployments aren't installing the same way on each console.

I'm not kidding, just look at all the threads on here and the different experiences so many users are citing. It's far too widespread to just be whining, and far to diverse a list of issues with different issues being experienced by each player to be explained by anything else.

SP > Skill is the direction CCP is taking this game.

you actually have to use skill in figuring out a fitting that works with your play style

lmao...

People are having different experiences because your resolution and amount of matches you play in a sitting has an effect on input lag. Play at 480p and for about 10 minutes or so you'll have very little input lag and the game feels much smoother. Play at 720p and you start off with half a second of game-breaking lag and everything feels choppy.

So if I switch to 480P it should help my game? How do I do that, or do I have to switch it on the PS3 settings in the XMB?

So, the game is broken

Yes. Now we must figure out how to get the average EVE player to comprehend this.

I stopped reading at professional gamer. Because how exactly do you make money from playing Dust? Better off with CoD. Also if you are a professional gamer, you should be able to adapt to this game. I also wanna label myself as a hardcore gamer cause I play games for fun and can adapt easily. I play from a board range of FPS and was good at it I.e. MGO2, KZ2, BF3, SOCOM, Korean shooters on pc and Halo as well.

Casual gamers make me sad for mankind.

280 million sperm fight for dominance and you guys are the most competitive of the bunch. Downright pathetic, but whatever.

Surely a pro gamer would play where the money is, otherwise you're just a gamer, no?

Absolutely correct. I make money from other games. Not this one.

I don't stop being a professional just because I chose to start playing Dust. My income has not stopped from other ventures.

This one is done currently as recreational with the hopes it will turn into something greater eventually. Even so, it is impossible to enjoy with such glaring flaws. It is so flawed, in fact, that even on a recreational level it is not enjoyable.

This is reflected easily enough by the majority of reviewers out there who, I assure you, are pretty terrible at nearly everything they touch. If a half-assed reviewer can feel something is wrong with the way the game functions, you can imagine how it effects someone who is used to playing at a professional level.

Professionals get paid to play. Usually due to our capacity to win. That's why we are called professionals.

If there is any confusion after that, I'm not sure where it could possibly be coming from other than a deep desire to troll regardless of the content.

For a professional gamer you cry to much. :p

The aiming is not that bad!

Dust 514 will be eaten alive by the upcoming MMO fps competition along with the bad reviews that put it into a very niche status. The first game to launch properly with a sandbox FPS will become the competitive one in this genre, and Dust missed that boat with Uprising failure.

However, Dust has the chance to become the EVE online of FPS - not too popular, but the deepest and most hooking one on market. The metagame is the surviving aspect of Dust.

That's exactly what I think. Dust 514 will probably never be as smooth to play as the cream of the crop of games, but it will probably have much more depth to it, man. There's no point in playing a game you don't enjoy it, and Dust 514 will never be something you're gonna make a lot of money with.

And oh yeah, guys, the game has a crapload of problems at the moment, man, but if you guys aren't enjoying it, just take a break. Don't worry about the skill points because let's be honest here, playing a game because of SP is about the dumbest thing ever. Taking a break is a win-win situation because either you find out that Dust is just taking away from your time, you could spend doing something else, or you end up coming back after the break and you will enjoy the game more. Yeah, you missed some SP, but you've also passively accumulated some which is fun to use. And don't give me that crap that you can't be competitive because you have 3 million SP less than the top dogs.

Is not about the money.... Is the "Competitive" game mechanics of Dust 514. Is like playing a Sport without rules or regulations, where "Everything goes". Imagine playing football with 20 balls in the pitch, not restrictions of how many players you can have in each team, anyone can you join the match, even members of the public. You can use any equipment you want, ( A baseball Bat ), and use as much violence as you want. This is Dust 514. Is not a "Competitive" environment.

Yeah there are a lot of issues with the game, no question about it. At the end of the day though, the fact of the matter is that you shouldn't be playing it unless you enjoy it. I mean I'm not telling anyone not to, but why would you play a game that gives you a headache while you play it?

I'm a professional gamer. As in, I actually make money playing video games. Competitive gamers like myself require functional gameplay mechanics or we simply cannot thrive. That doesn't mean balanced mechanics, mind you, just functional ones that can be controlled. I don't need to explain how bad the aim mechanics currently are, or the issues this game has with frame rates. Everyone already knows. But I do feel the need to mention that these things cannot be controlled, and they directly affect my personal performance.

This type of situation is basically a no-win situation for myself. I cannot possibly achieve my maximum potential in this game if I am held back by uncontrollable variables to such an extent. The game as it is, being such an atrocious abomination in the eyes of competitive gaming, is beyond frustrating to play. Much to the point that people very easily put the game down and walk away forever if they are not competitive.

But I am. Worse yet, I know CCP's track record and I know they will fix these things. I also know they will take all the time in the world while keeping communication at a bare minimum. I also know that this particular game has the potential to become one of the most important first person shooters ever made, so it is important to get a foothold and keep it.

So I am stuck, playing this game week after week, lest I fall terribly behind on SP. To stay viable, I have to keep playing something that completely spits on everything I value from a competitive game. Since the launch of Uprising, I have yet to log off of Dust in a state where I was not given a very real physical headache from trying to overcompensate for this games broken mechanics.


So I just wanted you to know this, CCP Staff. Your game right now is so bad that for somebody out there who makes it his business to play video games, it is actually physically painful to touch. And this same person still has faith that you will fix this.

I want you to think about that every time you decide to blow off a request for information or half-ass a hotfix like you have been doing recently. Also, bug fixes do not make expansions. You don't require six months to justify fixing something. It's not appreciated.

The same reason as the OP.... because the "Potential" of the game. Of course..is up to CCP to convert that "Potential" into reality.

Well as I said, bro. Take a break cause playing a game - that you think sucks- right now based on it's future potential is just strange. Take a break and you either find something more useful and enjoyable to do with your time and come back later to check it out and see if it reached the potential you talked about. Either it did and you'll be happy playing the game, or it didn't and you're happy you used your time on something else. I mean, am I missing something here or do dudes really make things this complicated for themselves? It's not more complicated than that, and you'd probably be more of a happy person too if you'd think about what's going on in your life right now, instead of trying to look for a better future.

I learned to stick around games that may "Became" Great one day. You could call it "Experience". Of course, if i feel that the game will never reach it's full potential, then i will leave, like most serious gamers.

I know what you're saying, but I still see no reason for playing it now that you don't enjoy it at all. Why don't you just keep it in back of your mind, test it out every once in a while and start playing it for real when you actually enjoy it?

Adjust your display settings in the XMB. Decreasing your resolution has a significant impact on the amount of input lag you get.

Even with the garbage graphics though the game will still stutter in the menus and suffer from the same, regular framerate drops which proves that the PS3's outdated hardware isn't the problem but rather it's CCP's sloppy and terribad programming.

nothing to see here folks..

I cannot take all these threads anymore!!!! This goes out to all you people to hate Dust. Dont play it. Wait several more months/updates if you have faith in CCP. Problem solved.
Uprising's aiming is not bad. If a "pro gamer" cannot aim in this game they are simply a terrible gamer. I dont know how many times my militia assault rifle took me to the top of the leaderboard.

lmao...

For a professional gamer you cry to much. :p

The aiming is not that bad!

So let me get this correct. You're either complaining there isn't enough cheap things for you to do to achieve victory or you're stating that the skill ceiling is too low that you can't achieve your best? I just want to be absolutely clear.

I'd recommend you stop playing DUST and seek a physician.
