DUST Search - Yesteryear...remember when

I remember when ALL battles were merc battles- no corp battles or instant battles

Before there was the "invalid fitting bug" popup, the invalid fitting bug would actually make all your fittings invalid

Half of the time when I opened up my skill sheet, I would get disconnected

Mass drivers used to glitch every other shot (well, the glitch is back)

Dropships with missiles were godmode

There used to be a rendering bug where you could see everyone's silhouette no matter how far away they were

MCCs had a shield to block sniper fire out

you used to not spawn on the MCC

manus peak used to look far different

scrambler pistols used to be capable of eventually outranging ARs after the right amount of levels, and had very good sights

ARs had no recoil, a scope, and were so OP that nobody used laser rifles until they complained about them the next build

tactical ARs used to be fully automatic

flying a dropship resulted in a freeze half of the time

when getting the orbital artillery outpost on skim junction as a map, the frame rate would usually make playing impossible

Maximus Stryker Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 501	Posted - 2013.06.26 22:49:00 - [1] - Quote It seems like only yesterday we could only play Dust 3/4 nights week. I remember having to lobby CPP to open the beta for July 4th weekend 2012. I remember when swarms were anti infantry. I remember Skirmish 1.0 wit that map that had a bridge with the various CRU's at different intervals to defend the city, the biomass city? Or was it a different city altogether? The larger map had big rocks, some that could only me reached by jumping a gap near the turret that you would climb on and sit in... I remember when I had to Qsync to play with friends. I remember when everyone had to close out of their other widows or you would get the invalid fitting bug. Great memories in all-in-all. Heres looking forward to Uprising 1.2 on the one year anniversary of this epic thread and community comradery. Cheers

Oh yeah dont bother bragging about your beta memories to ANYONE outside of this forum or you will be laughed out of town. You forgot to mention the constant freezes in EVERY BUILD.

When I explain the concept and 'universe' of EVE/Dust/New Eden they are blown away. I hope you have better experiences in your future.

ROFL you must be new here.

Forlorn Destrier Bullet Cluster 1021	Posted - 2013.06.27 13:06:00 - [7] - Quote I remember when you had to fire your entire supply of ammo to get one kill because hit detection was so bad. I remember when there was a vehicle spawn bug - one person called in an HAV and they kept coming the rest of the match. I remember 12 v 12 where everyone on both sides were in tanks. I remember what the original CRU's looked like - they had a door and everyone was asking why we didn't spawn in side and then walk out. I remember being able to damage the MCC (and get war points for it) from a large rail gun turret. I remember being able to take down a dropship with an HMG. I remember the incredible lag that happened just by climbing stairs. I remember when the only 3 weapons in games were AR, scrambler pistol, and HMG. I remember I remember I remember And I won't forget.
Xocoyol Zaraoul Zumari Force Projection Caldari State 392	Posted - 2013.06.27 13:19:00 - [8] - Quote I remember all of you glorious bastards, the hilarious bugs mentioned, and the sadly more stable game we have now. Favorite memory was in Craterlake where an LAV drop glitch created a mountain of LAVs, crashed RDVs, and eventually a near-nuclear explosion as dozens of them exploded at once in a chain-reaction after a well-tossed grenade. I miss Defensive Relays, and that revelation when I discovered that instead of hacking them I could blow them up. I miss the god-mode dual-scrambler scout fits. I miss the everyone-gets-a-nova-knife that took a good second-and-a-half delay that pissed everyone off. I miss the incredible-hulk Heavy suit load-outs. I miss seeing the Breach AR spams. I miss the rage-posts of wanting to mute people after Badfury spammed his music.

(I hated it) I remember when I first used the Shotgun, and it felt epic. I remember how Manus Peak used too look like. I remember when I fist used the EXO-5. I remember Remote Explosives being used more. I remember taking off in my first Dropship. And the most important of all things I remember... I remember when Mass Drivers actually worked.
Mac Dac Wraith Shadow Guards 77	Posted - 2013.06.27 15:12:00 - [13] - Quote I remember when you heard a HMG you and every blue around you looked around nervously to find the heavy. I remember when ever we saw a enemy heavy the WHOLE team diverted fire to him. I remember when i was a defender and how i saw my team around me scrambling to get into positions to protect the city. I remember that if the attackers some how got in the city we were screwed. I remember when CCP nerfed all AV by 25% and buffed vehicles by around 50%. I remember tanks were dam near invinible and it took an entire team of AV to break the sheild. I remember during the OP tanks era everybody was afriad to go out in the open and seeing 6 people all huddled together in that pocket in line harvest next to the table top structure to hide from tanks. I remember during the OP tanks era in the biomass building we had the entire match inside that 20m room and our uplink was within 10m from the enemys. I remember how there was a huge sp and isk gap between all the dropsuits teirs and most of everybody used standrd. I remember when the higher teir dropsuits gave you more hp, pg, slots, sheilds, cpu, speed ,and stamina. I remember hearing that the top two players had proto dropsuits and ARs and thinking " NO WAY!!!" I remember back in replication when i had a standrd AR and i nearly ran out of bullets shooting this one guy trying to snipe with a AR. He had advanced sheild mods and everytime i reloaded his sheilds would finish healing before i finished reloading. I remember finally pissing that guy off enough for him to start shooting at me so i ranawy with around 30 bullets left. Had some great times back then.

Cody Sietz Tritan's Onslaught RISE of LEGION 249	Posted - 2013.06.27 15:19:00 - [16] - Quote I remember saying to myself "dropships and tanks are free, I'll learn to pilot them later" Yeah, should have got on that a bit earlier.

What is confusing about that post, there was a time when swarms were fired at the ground/player after the operator of the swarms jumped in the air and fired, thus they killed said player with ease...

All i wanted was a regulat scope. Been here since the first week of the closed beta thanks to my former clan mate Villdoc from BHD. Who was in China on a business trip and Commander Wang hooked him up with beta codes. Man to me Dust early beta days was the ****, then with each new build the game got worse lol.

Perhaps it got "worse" be fore it got better. As fun as those days were, I unequivocally believe the game is better now than a year ago.

I remember having a lot of fun playing Dust 514 though all the aches and pains of the the development. And most of all... I remember having faith that CCP could actually pull off making Dust 514 a great groundbreaknig gaming experience that would redefine the shooter genre of gaming.
