What makes it special?

First off Destiny is not out yet. Dust seems to be killing itself all by itself.

Second what the hell have you been reading? In nearly every thread i have stated that Destiny is a co-op MMOFPS and is not really competition with Dust.

Third a much better discussion is how Elite and Star Citizen are going to kill EvE. Seriously between them they have like 250,000 backers. That is people who have payed for the game and have not even played them yet and can't play them for at least 6 months. Does EvE even have that many subscribers?

Fourth thinking about the second point: all the fan boys seem to love the SP/leveling system in Dust...with destiny i imagine that the XP/leveling system will actually be balanced at the start....also as a co-op open world mmo with tons of content to play rather then grind Destiny seems like a better fit for a huge segments of Dust's SP/leveling fan boy base....which i guess could kill Dust....of course if all those fan boys left then Dust could actually become a good FPS by ridding itself of its SP/leveling system.

First point: agreed.
Second point: E3 said it was a fpsmmorpg and PvE only. .. so it's si-fi gun WoW
Third point: 500, 000 active subs and still growing monthly. Only current mmo to do so
Fourth point: Yeah the sp system needs to be reworked into what it's suppoSed to be, a roll over system.

To each there own but DUST isn't going to die from the outside, only internally if it will.

Dust is not Eve my friend. One is on PC where gamers are more patient and the other is on a soon to be outdated console where gamers are less patient. One is more of a strategy game while the other is an FPS. Despite all the strategy in the world, it is still an FPS which means shooting people in the face. Folks who like to shoot people in the face usually get bored more easily than strategy only gamers.

It's like how people were saying The Last of Us is going to finish off the servers and how MAG is going to far outlive Dust. Let them preach their apocalyptic views, then watch them silently disappear when nothing comes of it.

I have the ability to play two games at once and I'm still caping out 1-2 toons a week. I think that the people that play dust now will play dust five months from now and I bet we start seeing player counts rising in time as they make the painfully slow improvements and dole out new content like gruel in the orphanage and we happy few that have toughed it out will walk among the noobs as gods (Lol I hope) that or the game will fail hell who knows?

To each there own but DUST isn't going to die from the outside, only internally if it will. Bungie has said there will be PvP "competitive arenas". In fact i am pretty sure they said so at E3. WoW also grew for about 10 years and got far bigger then EvE did...until it stopped growing...also EvE is not the only current MMO to grow monthly...lots of MMOs do that. If you are going to brag about the 10 year thing at least get it right. Anyway Elite and Star Citizen are direct competition to EvE...something EvE has not had in a very long time...if ever.

That is to say no one thing will be the end of Dust including the ps4 or any one or even several games. However, everyone has a limited amount of free time and as more new things turn up less time may be devoted to playing one specific game. There also seems to be trend among developers to now create persistent long term gaming worlds. If these games end up being popular and profitable then more and bigger projects will appear on the horizon. Look at the blackberry and the iPhone. At one point blackberry phones were the ones to get and then the iPhone appeared and completely dominated the market. The smartphone with touchscreen was birthed. Then google and others took notice and initially put out mediocre products that did not compare but they learned and now the iPhone has moved from top dog to minor player. CCP via Eve and Dust has shown the possibilities of a single shard persistent universe cross platform game link. Unfortunately what they could not do was capitalise and dominate the market or create large scale favourable feedback about Dust. This is not to say that they can not do this in the future but it does mean that they have a tough starting position to work from. Particularly with other, and in some cases much larger, developers now taking an interest in the general idea of dust. However, going back to the idea of limited leisure time, it does not matter whether someone creates a game like Dust what matters is if someone creates a game that you can play for years which continues to evolve. For example I am very much interested in Elite and if it ends up being a good game then at least some of my time will go to playing it and not something else. Depending on how it is developed it may even up being a long term game. It may not be anything like Eve but I do hope they create a persistent environment and I just love the idea of actually piloting the ship. Any how, I believe that CCP needs to create a strong and growing player base now before their competitors get their acts together. Survive today so you can fight tomorrow. PS. I wouldn't mind a Respec. :-)

Also the hero art for Destiney... feels... unheroic. The villains are far more visually interesting than the heros. Defiance and Firefall are better examples. Boarderlands is an OK example...but Diablo? Should be pointed out that Titanfall will have PvE elements in its multiplayer. NPC "popcorn" enemies to make the player feel good without actually making other players feel bad because you killed them.
