You would think the people on a video game's forum would be the most bias, which they usually are. That just shows how unique and dissapointing this game is. People want this game to be a good game. Everyone that talks about how bad it is right now aren't undercover media blitz agents from Planetside 2 - they're regular people who thought a super customizable FPS with space suits would be awesome.

The game has so much promise, but it's hemmorhaging players and the devs aren't communicating well enough. Most players that hate the game won't even say anything. It was free, and they aren't going to look up the official forums and login just to talk about it. They just won't play it anymore. Which really says something about the amount of players who post on the forums and dislike the game.

Once a game loses players, they rarely ever get them back. It's like movies or music or anything else that ever gets released: You'll see the most action the first week of release, then it just dies slowly after that. I think this is even more true with F2P games because it's not like anyone had to wait for their birthday, save up allowance, or get a ride to the store from their mom or whatever to play this game. Dust however is absolutley spilling players like a gutted pig.

This game... is dieing. This game is dieing very fast. It will never see 8k+ players online again. The most important thing is to save the players it does have, but many of the players it does have are too good by now and will drive away new players since the RPG element is too strong in this game, and time invested is more rewarded than natural gun game.

CCP - What are you going to do about Dust 514?

The game will die if it's not released on PS4 at launch.

I think they will carry on rolling this turd in glitter untill its more glitter than turd

The game will die if it's not released on PS4 at launch.

Hopefully soon u will all stop complaining and just go .

Word of mouth wont work on a game that isn't fun to play. I convinced many of my gamer friends to come play Dust.
They have all left.. Most of them will probably never return.

I am sorry but the game as is, is not going to fix anything if it even ports to anything else.

I have never seen a game die so fast from launch date.

And its free.

Bleh.

Yea... Today at PC every my bullet did ZERO dmg. I repeat - full magazine into the enemy body, did ZERO damage. So, you right - I am sorry but the game as is, is not going to fix anything!

You obviously never been to the Mag or Socom forums bro...

I know a lot of personal friends who are not going to buy the PS4 at least until their PS3 dies.

The game is not dying. It is in a low cycle because of content(balance and just missing racial stuff) and stability issues. Once everything is hammered out, you will come back in less than a second. By then those of us that trudge on will be months ahead because of our active skill gains and you will complain about being behind. Life isn't always easy. CCP dreams big and slowly delivers. If you can't handle that, there are other games out there for you until you realize you are missing something in Dust that no other FPS game has, Your Actions Matter in Dust. No matter how small, they matter. They affect every single person in the game.

What you fail to realize is that the only reason EVE was successful was because it had a following of super hardcore, super patient masochists that only exist on the PC side of gaming. the type of demographic that they are dealing with (CoD kids, Battlefielders, hell, even SOCOM players) is nowhere near as patient as any eve player.

In the mind of 90% of the 32,000 people that have downloaded dust, it is a worthless piece of manure that does nothing more than suck time from your life. Odds, are, the people that leave the game delete it because of how terrible the experience is. That's what all my frienss do. They WILL NOT come back, no matter what they see in videos, no matter what people tell them. That's the reality of the console market. Unforgiving, demanding pricks that hate on anything that they aren't 100% satisfied with.

And, consequences in video games might be a selling point for you, but not to the console market. why do you think the most popular game ever has no spawn delay?

Like others have said, dust is hemmoraging players like an elephant with a slit throat, and it will continue to do so until the player count drops below 500. Then it will die.

I've tried to save it but its just not possible to make it better. Its like tryinv to help a snail get through a maze made of salt.
