Also, let's not forget the hundreds of threads that predicted this game would be a flop based on the broken mechanics / lag issues of over a year ago, E.G:

-and the thousands of EVE players who assured us that everything would be alright because "it's a beta!"

Well, where's your "it's a beta" now?

Here's what EVE players actually said:

Quote:
There's only a handful of people playing the game right now, and we're on 2 maps, instead of 1400-4000 that can be expected on release. There will be PLENTY of places for the carebears to gather once the game goes live. Skill progression will also be much slower once the full game is released. Once this game goes live, instead of a few hundred players, we can easily expect a few million, or at the absolute bare minimum, hundreds of thousands.

Also, the quality of this beta is almost excellent, and I have faith that it will basically be excellent come the 29th (here's hoping).
This is a true beta, not a marketing one. You're here to test, not to be sold.


Quote:
-Lol @ OP welcome to ur first real beta, after u experience how a game made. You can laugh at these console developers that give u a so called beta 2 weeks before realease. Lol-


This.

It makes me laugh when devs do that, assuming that every console owner is an moron. When it's so close to release what they've really given us is a demo. I wouldn't be surprised if these beta's were just early builds shown at the previous years E3 or something.

To be honest I'm not really enjoying Dust so far, but I'm very excited and I feel privilaged to be involved in a true beta.


Quote:
Lol for the first time in my life im glad to be an old gamer. If you have any concerns about Dust please go play EVE or speak with Eve players. Better yet I will give You a homework assignment go research CCP and the CEO. So you can see for ur self why good at what they do. If you think the Eve community would allow CCP to provide an expansion to Eve thats garbage you have a lot to learn about the relationship between CCP and its fan base.

Lol idk what this guy is taking about "newbies won't have a chance of killing pub stars" that's not true since this is a team based game , I think your statement there makes me think you play cod a lot where one person who has skill can go around and kill everyone this isn't that type of game and if you can't handle it go back to cod or stay and learn teamwork , also I have assault type 1 or 2 , but I put in militia gear with the mailita mods and weapons and still could kill people with better gear wether it's from help from a partner or by myself, and dude your complaining about quality of this game? This is a very old build and another reason this is just closed beta homie , this game will be perfect at release

This game will take off. Some f2p games, and these are the bottom barrel pay to win f2p's, average well over 20k people. The best of the best f2p's are averaging way more than 20k, and this is years after they've been released. For anyone to post saying that this game will not take off, is purely a naive individual. There is a gigantic market for this game, and all the money deals are either for boosters, or cosmetic items. They aren't selling any sort of I-win items here, just cosmetics and boosters.

This game will easily average, just in my rudimentary estimation and opinion, 50k easy. It will more than likely be well over or under that number. A key thing to remember here, is that there are 10's of millions of people that use the PS3 and PSN alone, couple that together with FPS gamers, casuals and hardcore, altogether with the fact that you get the game for free and can play the entire thing for free, is mind blowing. You get all content free of charge, and that assumes expansions. Knowing how CCP does expansions for Eve, which is free content, I'd expect nothing less from them with this game. Now tell me, you seriously think with all of that put into the same equation equals hardly a following? You are out of your mind if you believe this will have a small following.


Ah yes. Blind faith in CCP has truly led this game to greatness....

Remember the neocom app that was promised a year ago and never happened? http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/08/20/dust-514-vita-app-details-revealed

Remember the PVE mode that was promised to come out in 2012 and the gladiator arenas that we were supposed to have now? Also includes talk about non-temperate planets, customizable matches, new game modes, all of which we were supposed to have in the "2013 expansion" :

Hah. I could've gotten it from KGB databanks and you'd have questioned the reliability of my source. Regardless, it shows that a lot of the things we were promised, never came. Hence this discontent.

A lot of those links were players upset by hearsays. If it's true CCP announced something last minute other sites would have the information as Dualshockers was claiming. Guess I'll look myself since it's actually a pretty important part of CCP being liars - which I do agree they do btw and wasn't trying to discredit your argument.

Mercenary Pack refund.

Mercenary Pack refund.

If that's true you can sue them - you know that right? That's called white collard crime I believe.

What do you mean if?

They used crappy definition to there advantage - without stating what 'commercial launch' meant gave them space to **** people over. You'd be in court a long time trying to push it lol

Tbh, the forums only get a minority of the people that log on each day. Most people don't even know we have a forum.

I honestly doubt that.

but I dont mind pushing for a long time

Stop being greedy! You know that the only legal way to fully fulfill the agreement was to reset every ones SP and ISK. Did you honestly want all that SP you earned to be gone?

[quote=N1ck Comeau]Seriously lets stop the trolling. Let's stop this crap against CCP, There trying we know that.

Like seriously it's no longer funny and it really never was.

Let me point out some good things about this game and CCP

It's free Not many games are

Herpes are free too! That does not mean they are a good thing!

This. Being free isn't an excuse for being bad.

but if it's free then you arn't paying for a product, and it's not bad, just not great.

I'm not trash talking dust, but you said there is so kuch content? Where is it? There is the game mode where you hold down some objectives, The one where you hold one objective, then thebone where all the objectives are taken out and you just attack each other.

No king off the hill, no capture the flag, no colossal battle full of platoons fighting like in MAG. There are a **** ton of items you can grind near endlessly doing the same three game modes over and over again for. If that is what you call content then I am not amused.

Lot's of weapons, 3 different types of grenades, 4 different suits, Dropships tanks Lav's. Compared to popular games like Call Of duty, that doesnt have vehicles and other things that we have, we have a lot.

When it's released on PS4 - I guarantee none of you will play Dust.

Care to make a wager doomsayer?

Things you do have an impact? Are you high? Have you even played the game at all?

I mean, I hope you people are just deluded and have actually played the PC version, because I honestly feel sorry for you all if you haven't even played it on PC and are expecting it to be any better on the PS4.

A. My outfit, The Enclave, does a mass air drop on a base.
B. The enemies attempt to zerg us off the capture point for about 5 minutes, give or take
C. EVERYONE leaves to go ghost-cap some empty base somewhere else

If we have too many victories, the other outfits will just jump to other continents en masse to go stomp on randoms.

Notice also that that video was not long after a Game Update, which bring people back for short periods before they all leave again. My outfit managed to get 128 players online for a full 4 platoons of us on the day of the Game Update that brought out the lattice system, the feature that promised to finally bring the massive battles we all started playing for into the game.

4 days later we could barely muster up 80, and I could long in as a non-premium member and switch continents during prime-time without even hitting a queue. Kinda hard to have fun when every fight ends in the Vanu rolling in and rolfstomping everyone in the retardedly OP ZOE MAXes* that it took SOE forever to fix, and people STILL preferred to go cap empty bases for easy XP rather than fight.

*Terran Republic MAX suits get an ability that locks them to the ground and increases their RoF and reload speed. New Conglomerate get a riot shield that deflects all damage that hits it at the cost of not being able to use your weapons. The Vanu Sovereignty got the Zealot Overdrive Engine, which allowed them to move as fast as normal infantry, increased the damage their shots did, and only had a minor penalty to hp as a downside. Clearly SOE is the superior company when it comes to game balance.

It's fun with friends, like play with some friends have a good time.
