all the newbs do think the same as the OP, Forums are just another game for us bitter vets to take part in :P.

a good sign the game is hitting a hard point is when the forums go quite normally means something horrid as broken and we have moved onto something else. If we are all screwming blue bloody murder at each other normally means the game is quite healthy :P

After being here for 14 months ccp has made many things worse and what progress if any is very slow and limited. So if you started this time last year and are still here now you would understand why most vet players have no faith in ccp listening and making things better.

First time posting! I've been reading the forums for some time now but never really bothered to post. I've seen dozens of trolls, constructive feedback and lots, lots of QQers and whiners. I really wanted to give an opinion about the game and CCP as a player. I've been playing DUST around a month, it's not that much. I've played almost all the Cod's since CoD4, so I have experience with console fps. And I would like to say many things about this game and about CCP. Many of you complain and complain rightfully. DUST is by no means a perfect game. However I see many, many people complaining how CCP does nothing, how CCP misses so badly on a nerf, or doesn't listen to players (e. g. state of DS). And I have to say, you don't know how lucky you are to have CCP handling things. I'm a newcomer but I can see how diferent this company is from others. I have in mind for example the EAware fail that was SWTOR. Check their forums if you have the time. It's full of people complaining about the game and the developers just don't listen. At all. They don't post. They don't make events in PSHome and answer fan questions. Hell, they don't make Fanfest. They just care about making as much money as they can out of that sinking ship. In fact, I've read many people and even reviews of DUST stating how this game is P2W and is constantly throwing you a "Buy Aurum" ad on your face. Again, I refer to swtor. If you don't pay at all, you get constant messages like "f2pers cant sprint till level 10" "f2pers only get 1 crew skill", "f2pers can't post in the forums", "f2pers recieve mounts 10 levels later than everybody else". THAT is annoying, whereas in DUST the only thing I see worth buying are boosters and I feel like I can play without spending a dime. And most of all, I don't feel nickeled and dimmed. CCP is ambitious and and I can see that they are as excited as us about this game. They play the game. They know the clumsy mechanics. They care about the community. They know it needs more maps, modes, tune up PC, commander role. I'm sure they're tracking the balance issues. And I am sure that if they could they would bring everything this game needs and more to it. However from the point of a software developer it is just not possible to have everything and more in a month. Not even in two. I couldn't believe that three days after the outage people started to complain again for whatever the reasons, when CCP did an amazing job handling the DDoS attack and also communicating with us. We should be encouraging them, not whinning. Its a f2p game and we will have updates, new maps, new modes, PC will get tuned, for free. New maps alone on any other fps would cost us 10-15$? Besides the 60$ game? Seriously. Focus on the good things this game has, if any of you are like me and just feel set free from an fps prison you didn't know you were in. And keep a constructive community, like many of you do, instead of QQing and whinning. TL; DR: Keep the feedback, whether negative or positive, constructive. After all, CCP is on the same boat as us. And I'm glad we can say the best is yet to come See you on the battlefield (if I don't get disconnected from the warbarge)!

See you on the battlefield (if I don't get disconnected from the warbarge)!

How can you claim knowledge that CCP's heart bleeds as much as you say it does only after a month of playing the game? Do you play EVE much?

You sir, win the prize for best post of the month. (okay, so we're only eight days into June, but you get the idea)

Is this for real? This is just probably ccp secretly posting to counter all the negative threads. Anyone notice all th game reviews by people on the interweb it was a coordinated effort to keep dust from getting smashed on player reviews.

This is just another fanboi post.

Thank you so much for the post and we appreciate the notice! :) It is definitely in our best interest to make a game that you guys enjoy and we really appreciate the criticism. Even if it's not as constructive as it could be, we are pretty good at seeing through that and doing our best to put it on the plan to "fix."

I've been combing through the forums getting an idea of what the community would like to see - and it's important to remember that we are doing our best! Nothing is as simple as it seems at first, but the ultimate goal is to make you guys happy. So keep it coming!
