its not trolling if its true. maybe u should read it before calling it spam article has good points.

CCP and Dust almost as bad as MS and the xbox one at this point. remember how that ended.

I think your blog is already somewhat out of date... the forums have apparently started to heal the divide between differing viewpoints.

Of course, it will never be perfect, but we have had a lot of talk of unicorns.

tell me more about this healed divide? lavs roadkill still horrible, logis still unbalanced and the flaylock still godly.

My dropship still gets me no WP and technical issues still horrible.

seriously this stuff should be considered spam at this point.

theirs about 8 or 9 threads on the front page all saying leaving or low player base, consolidate your threads trolls >.<

I'll say it now, again. Freemiums and scam shops are the hallmark of a dead or dying game, and of a developer that has wifllingly given up on the quality of their product and just want to make fast cash off suckers, even at the cost of souring the relationship and trust they have with their fans.

Sometimes while playing Dust I just have to periodically stop and look at my stack of games, and I ask myself, "Why am I not playing Killzone 3? It works fine, I enjoy it, it runs smoothly, many people still play it..."

I want to like DUST, I want to support it, I have played it enough I have spent the $50 as I would have on a full title, but this game... this game is soo aggravating for so many reasons. All I can say is you can't blame people for looking at other things. One could say other games suck or are great, but despite opinions on other titles DUST just seems to have an uncanny ability to wear down anyone regardless of devotion.

Because KZ2 is a far superior game and you should be playing that ? :)

I agree on your on topic part though. Breaks grows weary.

Haha, I'm not even going to begin the KZ2vs3 debate. I like to use my move controllers and KZ3 support for those is excellent, but I shall leave it at that

Many have recently predicted the demise of Dust 514. We dont agree, but there are several obvious core issues that have yet to be addressed for a game that has [shockingly] had a retail launch. The problem is that many natives are growing restless. Player numbers are dropping and the CCP strategy of 2,5 and 10 year roadmaps that works well on PC, is failing horribly with console players. More concerning is the fact that the patience of many in the hardcore playerbase seems to have reached their limit. These players are CCP supporters but now are wondering whether the game is still a place for them, as a nasty crop of questionable-at-best casual mechanics has crept into the game. With no word from CCP, they have no clue whether shameful elements like the cartoony LAV issues [aptly named Mariokart 514] are issues they intend on fixing or working as intended.

Its certainly not doomsday as we havent even seen a major marketing push, but CCP needs to address these issues before they spiral out of control. A recent poll showed bugs, technical issues and poor FPS mechanics as players chief complaint. Many recent changes have also tuned weapons with the unskilled player in mind rather than the skilled one. This breaks the game and fails at the core because if the average skilled player can get 30 kills with a Flaylock, the skilled player can triple that. This is the reason noob tubes in any form is a bad idea. Right now the forums are a wasteland of negative threads and shitposting that would turn away any new player curious about the Dust 514 experience. Now is the time to communicate and resolve, as it may be too late in the coming months.

yea CCP is turning their back on their original target audience one that wanted a hardcore game, they're targeting COD players now but the thing is this is not and will not ever be COD, no matter how much they dumb it down, the COD players (a bunch of little kids susceptible to marketing strategies) will not flock to this simply because it's not COD, CCP is wasting their time pursuing this audience and has turned their back on their original fanbase which were initially attracted to dust as their are no "hardcore" alternatives out there. so once the CODtards tire of their guns in space, they too will leave this game after having it ruined.
