Guys, I've been reading these forums for the last couple of weeks and quite frankly, man, I've seen a lot confused people. People who ain't got their priorities in order. They ain't got their **** together to put it bluntly, guys. I'm talking about a very special segment of people and note that this behaviour isn't unique to Dust 514 but I use it as a lens to take a look at this whole thing. You see, guys, what I'm talking about here are the people who play the game a lot, they are active here on the forums but at the same time, man, they absolutely hate the game! They think the game is going into the wrong direction and they dislike CCP.

Now some of these people keep telling me: "Ric, can't you see it, I'm here for the potential, man!" What potential?! You just told me the game has gotten worse and worse every new build! One definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results! That's right, I think you're nuts! Even if you think the game's improving slowly but is crap at this moment, get the **** out! Use your time better: Hit the gym, read the autobiography of Ben Franklin and improve your life. Then come back later and check it out if you think the game has reached the potential you guys keep talking about. Perhaps your cunty ass would be more happy too if you'd concentrate on what's going on in your life today instead of thinking about the future as your, and the game's saving grace.

Well we all know how these guys rationalise this behaviour, man. "Ric, I can't be competitive without playing this game every single day!" Or "This game will die if I leave!" and, guys, what really cracks me up is the classic: "As soon as X hits the market I'm gone!" Well if Dust 514 is the second best game in the market after X, then I guess it's not that bad at all. The bottom line is, guys, that if you don't enjoy the game, take a break, use your time better and come back later and check it out. Don't keep complaining about stuff and expect things to change around you just because you're unhappy! Because at the end of the day, boys and girls, that's not how anything in this life works.

Guys guys... Forum PVP > game PVP... I thought we all knew that?

Sometimes I think the forums are the most important aspect to the game to these people. On the forums, they can get their likes and boast about having the most likes. They can be somebody. It's all about the attention.

They are also looking for the "I told you so" argument. They will continue to play the game they despise until the day they can say, "I told you so."

I said this in a post a few weeks ago. There's sadly a group of players in every game who want to destroy what isn't theirs. Why? At what cost? If I'm watching a movie and it sucks, horribly, I turn it off. I don't just sit there and watch it when I already know it sucks. Okay, that's not entirely true. I have watched some BAAAAAAAAAAD movies and continued to watch them to see exactly how bad it can get(GI JOE Rise of Cobra comes to mind.) But I don't complain about it afterwards.

I don't know what these people are thinking. It's easy to just quit. Instead, they hate this game so much, they tell new players to quit but they themselves keep on playing.

The reason? The attention they get on the forums. Any attention, whether it's negative or positive, is attention. That's the game to them. That's the ultimate goal. To win Forum 514

Or some people weren't concerned with overall personal gain throughout the beta, and instead took their time testing all sorts of things within the game. As such, it's more of a labor of love, and when you watch all that time and feedback seemingly disappear into nothing, it gets frustrating.

And the thing is, we know that CCP can get this **** under control. We know that they made and are making a cool game. But we also know that shoving your nose up their ass does nothing but make them lazy. The game has problems, if you can't see that, you're as blind as I used to be. Many of you, myself included, can't even fully grasp the level of technical issues still at play within the game.

It just gets frustrating. The forums are frustrating. The constant ups and downs and lack of anything resembling stability is frustrating.

But you know what's fun?

Harvesting tears.

*one shots with a proto accelerated missile turret* hah, there goes your officer weapon *gets forged gunned* NOOOOOOOO!!!!

Heavy say WHAT?



Calls in Militia Fit HAV with Railgun, sits in redline and waits for you to try to be useful.

Or I'll just use my militia forge gun (LMAO why these even exist...) to pester you or rock you into a nearby building

Costs me <100K ISK in any and all cases.

Sadly true, but I've started pestering redline tanks by dive bombing them, then flying out the redline. Funnily enough I managed to get one tanker to activate his modules inside the redline, he activated an armour repper when he was at half shields

To be honest though I use my 70K Viper fit to combat enemy dropships :/

HUG MEEE!!!!!

Seriously, it's so much fun to do too. I use my Viper to dive bomb enemy tanks, crash my ship into them, toss AV nades then start chasing after them with my militia forge

Why not

Do it for the lulz

Guys, some great responses here. Honestly I really think this type of behaviour is something that people do all the time, be it with video games, in relationships or with their professional life, man. People are too God damn afraid to change any behaviour in their life and would rather hope for somebody else to make stuff better for them! I mean, yeah, people jump from game to game frequently but trust me when I say this, when these people jump into the "next big thing" like Destiny or whatever they're gonna be whining all the same in their forums. How about doing changes in your own behaviour rather than calling others out cause you're not satisfied?

Now, some of these negative whiners keep telling me that somebody needs to whine about stuff for stuff to change. WRONG! Only kind of difference negative people have ever made on anything in this world, is making things more ****** with their cunty behaviour!

Last but not least we've got the very special group of people who are so far out there, man, that they get their kick out coming to the forums and trying to either troll people, or "win" conversations. Now I don't know about you guys, but I quite honestly think that's just weird!

Dust may not be fun to play in Uprising but it good to keep SP farming for the day it is fun again.

Also, the forums represent a minority of the players - not all players even visit these forums. What you see, for the most part, are the vocal minority.

That's the ultimate goal. To win Forum 514

SOMEONE finally acknowledges it!

, what really cracks me up is the classic: "As soon as X hits the market I'm gone!" Well if Dust 514 is the second best game in the market after X, then I guess it's not that bad at all.

Ric, they'd fall behind on all the SP they're grinding from their constantly-online Active Boosters and run the risk of no longer being DUST GODS.

They'd rather keep playing or afk farm or anything else they can think of rather than allow plebeians like you and I to usurp their lofty position of skill superiority.

That made me chuckle.

Dust really is one of those love/hate games, moreso than a lot of others. Truly irredeemable games don't get played.

There's flashes of great fun, you can get a random match and have a totally awesome experience then the next game be dragged through purgatory. The OCD in me insists I should keep digging through poopies to find these diamonds.

Uprising shocked a lot of us. I used to have much faith in this game - but now a days It feels like that faith is hanging by a thread.
If that offends you - sorry - but I am allowed to speak my mind.

And the reason the people who hate this game yet come back - it's because of friends. That's not a bad thing - but I agree they shouldn't be on the forums with no hope doom saying and making things worse for the rest of us who have even a glimmer of hope for the future.

As for me - respec gave me Logi-Lav's and I've been havin' a blast since!

You know what, man, it doesn't offend me. You're allowed to your opinion like you said, and yeah I can understand people staying in the game because of their friends. One of the reasons I play the game is a few cool people I talk with in game. Just don't be frustrated when the game doesn't develop the way you expect it to, dude. It's certainly not going to happen.

The reason why I made the thread is, because I think it's safe to say that many of us has been in the situation where we keep playing a game we don't even enjoy for some strange reason, man. Whether it be because of gear, Xp or SP, friends like you said, or just because of that's what we've got used to doing. Well I tell you what, that happened to me with early days of WoW and man it really was the best decision when I took a break from that son of a *****, guys!

Did the same after SWG crashed and burned thanks to SoE's antics...
Did it again, after walking away from crap in a game called Cabal Online.

Ended up saying, "fk PC games. i got medical school to focus on."

Then some friends bought me a PS3, and this game happened. Vicious cycle.

Respec gave me Proto Caldari Assault suit... and my GOD.... how much easier the game has become...
Time to take another break., if things go south again.

Have to +1 this. Everybody should read the autobiography of Ben Frankin, the man rocks.

So if Ben Franklin fought the guy on the Quaker Oats box, who'd win?

So if Ben Franklin fought the guy on the Quaker Oats box, who'd win?

That's an easy one Onesimus.

Franklin was a world-class research scientist. Even if he was evenly-matched with the Quaker dude, in the end Ben would just out-MacGyver him ;)

He was also a fat pig, the Quaker Oats guy (for this lengthy thread (I just KNOW it) we'll call him Silas Bain) was all trimmed up and regular because of his fiber. So Franklin might not get the chance to cobble up a weapon from a shoe-buckle, a fence-post, and a lantern.

Jus' sayin'.

Don't worry Ric....

In about 4 months and 13 days you will be rid of me and probably about 5k other DUST users...

Then you and SI can once again brag about being top dogs in PC to.... someone.


Countdown til end of DUST: http://www.ps4playstation4.com/ps4-release-date-countdown-begins

I don't think its a bad game... then again I don't think its a good game. IGN really did get the review of DUST spot on, 5.8 sounds about right. Altho some of that rating is given for potential, which doesn't seem right since all games have potential of some sort.

Will CCP get DUST on track and it become a success? No idea, EVE speaks highly for them, but then again, thats a PC game.

Don't you find it interesting we haven't heard one word about DUST being on the PS4? Think there might be a reason?


DUST being F2P means its not a game you actually have to "give up" it'll always be there in the corner of the hard drive. But will I be playing it over next gen FPS games that come out on the PS4? I doubt it.

Yard work >forum pvp

Do you guys still remember that guy who wrote an essay on quitting dust and when somebody asked him why is he still QQing in the thread he said he had only talked about quitting the game, not the forums...

I would imagine it's a funny read for him. Some people like to read the newspaper. Some people like to read Dust forums. He probably wants to keep tabs on how much CCP fails.

Guys, I've been reading these forums for the last couple of weeks and quite frankly, man, I've seen a lot confused people. People who ain't got their priorities in order. They ain't got their **** together to put it bluntly, guys.

I started playing 5/24/13... so just over a week... I have used up my bonus SP for two weeks... I enjoy the game, and when I see i cannot compete... then I adapt to another strategy... LAV, SNIPER... I have just started reading the forums but I agree 100% with Ric...

You are absolutly right! You know what? Im out. Bye dusties, i might be back in the future. Thank goodness i never spent money on this train wreck.

I'm loving dust, sure the game has problems, sure it needs fixing quick, but as an EVE vet I have faith in CCP and I know their current sprints will be addressing the problems raised.

+1 to the OP for the words, I totally agree.

People clearly don't fathom the enormity of what CCP has achieved and is doing bridging the two games together, nor do they understand the complexities of development and release. Sure CCP have made faux pas, but that's part of the course, there will be more, there will be QQ, get used to it and be constructive in the reporting of issues.

It is interesting but I believe it is more "I like the game; why are you doing EVERYTHING wrong?!" They want to like the game but are vocal about the problems and simply use hyperbole to get their point across.

Yes but what people don't understand is that the language technique of hyperbole is situation if maximum or correct effect is to be conveyed.

Running around posting here and there with "this game is utterly ruined because of a game breaking 1ISK loss issue" doesn't help anyone.

cunty

This game does not suck, I'm a big battlefield fan, yet I choose everyday to play this instead, this is my no1 most played game, and has been for months.
