DUST Search - Somebody toss me a silver lining... Why stick around?

Maybe because I never really played shooters before (I liked Nintendo games and RPG's) but I really like Dust 514. It's a lot of fun because I don't make it the end-all of my life. K/D ratio sucks in a match? who cares? Just lost a ton of isk? Then I'll make some suits that cost less than 10,000. The point is it's just a game and as long as I treat it that way I can't be angry for what happens.

Also, I love how much I've been able to customize my soldier. This makes me feel like she's really unique compared to the other clones running around and that I have that much more invested in playing her.

If there's any negative side to playing Dust 514 is the crap I get from my gamer friends. For a long time they've been trying to get me to play Call of Duty, Gears of War and BF while I've been happy chillin' in Hyrule. Now that I'm playing a shooting game they're like "oh, that game. you should play a REAL game!"

Well, you know what?!? I like Dust 514! You can cram your sweaty muscle steroid misogynists and shove them up your-

*ahem* sorry. got a little carried away. I play Dust because I like the game. I don't need anyone to tell me why I should or shouldn't like something. Dust all the way.

I do take a lot of breaks in between marathon sessions though... ._.

Vehicle control has gotten a little better, but it's definitely not in the "good" category. Still major problems with hit detection (particularly w/ shotguns... maybe ARs) and splash damage. Player control not too fluid, public matches filled with AFK bots.... throwing grenades doesn't feel very 'good', etc, etc. Blah blah blah you guys know all of this too. So why are YOU sticking around? Are you thinking things are progressing well? Is there something you are looking forward to? You hear something about a new feature coming into the game or new fixes? Just curious. Tired of the grind...

'Course, if you were serious about this at all, this wouldn't matter. Well... I'm already 'behind' at just 11 mil SP, but it's not all about SP in EvE (after about 40 mil SP)... can't imagine it will be in DUST. ...at least not when people are in the 50 mil SP+ range.

Unless falling behind SP wise is not something you can live with, take some time off. Check the forums once in a while to see if things have gotten better and if so jump back in. If you aren't having fun just stop so you don't burn yourself out. Disclosure: I've been on break since late May. I wasn't having fun anymore. This is probably good advice. Wish I had gotten more passive boosters and fewer active though...

I don't think there's be a big graphics difference... and I could play Colony Wars. ...but I already got Wipeout HD for the PS3... but meh. I should play more Halo to get ready for Destiny probably. I've never played BF3 though (just haven't gotten around to picking up a copy) so maybe I'll do that too.

Just curious. Tired of the grind... Gogela, what do you do when you are tired of Eve? Do that. I don't get tired of EvE. Sometimes I don't have enough time to sit down and really play, but for me, there's so much to do that even if I had 10 hours a day to play I wouldn't get tired of it. You can always gatecamp. Few things more satisfying than sitting on a less-used gate in the middle of nowheresville nullsec and having a transport fly into your bubble. If someone is bored with EvE they need to branch out.

Play Halo 1 (anniversary ed) - 4 including ODST. It's an incredible ride. I love it. Do it for yourself. I think it's a breathtaking series.
