as an EVE Player for 5 years, i have sunk over $2,000 in subscription fees alone... have had no less than 3 active accounts at any given time with almost no lapsed payments(excepting when creditcards expired and i forgot to update my annual subscription cycles with the new card). i had had high hopes for DUST 514 when it started, as a FPS game that WASNT like CoD or HALO(though i have enjoyed a few of the halos, it lacks feeling or emotion behind multiplayer)...

not all EVE Players were out for the demise of DUST, though with some of the pending connections, primarily DUST Industry, i am starting to hope that DUST doesnt make it... DUST META LEVEL... none of them align with the existing mechanics in EVE, where they had planned to farm out the manufacturing to, meaning that they would have to create an entirely new set of mechanics for producing DUST merchandise, by either allowing players to acquire BPOs for meta gear... which you DONT get to do in traditional EVE fashions... or create a new mechanic for invention to allow the creation of more meta content than just meta5(T2, equivilant to prototype/complex mods effectively)... not to mention the suits ... the only ships that have multiple invention outputs are battlecruisers which creat 1 of 2x command ships, would we get standard, adv, and pro frame suits to invent into assault and logistics? or would we invent standard into adv/pro?

they are going to have to build a completely new industry function for DUST merchandise... why not allow DUST to be standalone and be self sufficient SHOULD something happen to EVE... not to mention the complete lack of any NON-COMBAT roles in DUST... 15m SP or so to get a perfect infantry build... then what... 3m sp to get another race? or go vehicles?

only recently have i started wanting dust to fail only because they are turning it into little more than the worlds largest cross-console MINIGAME... i would have rather they finished CQ if they were trying to just make a new BS mini-game that theyve started turning DUST into...

Kb/m is why I play this game.
Jump stamina prevents bunny-hoping.
The hit detection and laggy/ sluggish aim make the strafe speed the game currently has borderline to fast.

The reasons people say bunny hopping is bad is because no one shoots a gun while jumping. The thing is this is a VIDEO GAME not real life, we are playing mercenaries in outerspace and presumably in the future they are wearing super advanced suits that are for all we know capable of improving our aim. These guys are "immortal" soldiers and the longer they are soldiers they gain the experience to control to the point they could maintain aim while jumping.

Having bunny hopping and fast strafe speeds separate player skill levels because it is very difficult to maintain your aim on your target when they are strafing and jumping while you're also strafing and jumping. Yes bad hit detection and lag make high strafing speeds seem bad but thats on CCP to improve. No offense to anyone but if you can't kill someone because they are jumping then honestly you just need more practice. I've been playing FPS games competitively for almost a decade and I've acquired the twitch reflexes to aim while strafing and it just takes time.

By CCP lowering strafe speeds and reducing bunny hopping they put a greater importance on player SP level instead of player skill level.

My eyes have been opened.

It cannot be unseen.

THE END IS NIGH!!
