I'm starting to get worried, we have not peaked 5k in nearly a week and this is an event weekend. With 80mill ps3's why so few players? I remember when we had 10k, and heard fanbois say "when release hits we should have closer to 100k".
What the hell happened? Where are all the fps players at? This is free 2 play right? Are people insulted by the constant Buy this and purchase aurum marketing strategies? Do people feel left behind after CCP chose to NOT reset beta players upon Commercial release? Or is it the actual gameplay and community that is turning new players away?
Someone clue me in, WHERE IS EVERYONE AT!!!

People are getting bored with the game or they are getting annoyed by the balancing in the game. |

New players will probably love this when they are in the Academy battles. After that the cold reality of going against suits you can't kill and getting crushed by tanks and assault dropships your Swarm launchers only tickle, well. The grind to get the SP to unlock deadly weapons is not appealing, when every battle to get there is a constant pain.
I started an alt character. In Academy I go around 10/2. After Academy that goes to 2/10. And the only way to counter this is to avoid fights, run & hide, get that lucky hack somewhere.
In short, this game is not fun for the beginners. Hence the declining numbers. |

It's summertime....totally normal, same things happens with EVE too every single summer.
Here in London people get confused when the sun shines, but at the moment even us rain people have sunshine outside. Only normal to spend more time outside. |

Probably more lack of marketing/visibility.
More maps, game modes, and possibly SP-segregated or equipment modes would help as well.

5000 players at any one time dude! You're acting like its 5000 total playerbase. Don't forget that there are alot of time zones worldwide. When some people are playing, others are at work. There are people out there who are not basement dwellers who sit there glued to their ps3's, most people who play dust are between the age of 20-40+, they have lives/jobs/families. Relax. |

Some of it may be because of summer but I did notice that for the 3x SP event numbers were between 5.5k and 6k but as people capped and with Mordu's event numbers have dropped below 5k again.
However, before these events numbers were in the low 4k most of the time. So their appears to be quite a few players who are around but choose not to play unless CCP chooses to provide rewards beyond simply playing the game. |

Numbers are at around 4.5 K
This will **** the PS2 fanboys off but Dust 514 numbers are pretty close to PS2's numbers. Dust 514 is still being born while PS2 is dieing off. |

As much as I want to see this game succeed it is clear CCP is too slow to make adjustments. They have until the PS4 comes out with the other games. if this game is not up to speed by then, then CCP has failed and we will have to come back in 4 years when this game is actually balanced.
I know it sounds like I am crying but when you see almost every update take 1 step forward and 3 steps back, you will keep losing faith. 1.2 was actually a pretty good update. hopefully 1.3 will bring some balance. |

I said pick one.. i din't say you have to pick all of them. One of those alone will be enough to push away a big percentage of players. |

If this game isn't MUCH better by the time BF4(which I'm not a fan of the BF series) comes out,along with PS4 which will launch with Killzone Shadowfall,Dust is pretty much screwed.The only recovery will be to relaunch on PS4,and ditch the PS3 completely. |

I help keep those numbers up by AFKing on my alts.
There are more people playing BF3 then Dust.
Given all the problems BF3 has, that says a lot.
GTA 5 will drop them lower, then PS4 will put them in the basement.
If it wasnt for the core of fools who have spent obscene amounts of money on Dust, it would have already been binned. |

The only thing he is wrong on is the p2w part. There are grey areas there as well. Fused locus grenades and the veteran and elite pack LAVs.
The rest is pretty spot on.

I just love seeing AFKing in there like it's a positive.
It, too, is one of the things that annoys players (people who actually play) and would drive folks away. So is the rampant pub stomping that goes on.
Wow, looks like some the worst things about Dust includes a bunch of our vets.
Hahahahahaha. Sounds about right if you hang around the forums much.

Basically I look at it like this. With Dust you're banking on potential, but right now their are several distractions layered over that potential. Obstructions such as Harsh New Player Experience, Buggy Gameplay, Numerous Balance Issues, A Tedious Grind, Limited Gamemodes and Missing Content which all provide a very cloudy window to view the positive aspects of Dust through. On top of that the gameplay Dust offers currently is not much different then other lobby shooters. As the game continues to expand things could get better, but the cardinal question is, are players willing to continue support (spend money on) Dust until things improve. |

i have the vetrans pack lav and i can assure you that it pretty much sucks once the shield is gone and it dosnt take a lot (few grenades or two good swarms) and your dead and not to mention the fact that you get blaster sniped out of them all the time |
