Now, years later, with none of that in sight, I keep playing it because of the friendships I've made and the little bit of integration with EVE that still exists. This above pretty much explains why I am still giving DUST514 a chance. Capsuleer turned Duster reverted back to capsuleer. The game has such potential. If CCP could ever get their act together and stop trying to reinvent it into something better by taking all the wrong things away.
If only they would make real repairs rather than continue to include more OP weapons like the bolt pistol (a side arm) which lands as much damage as a sniper rifle or rail rifles that seem to carry their damage twice as far as they should, but only for individuals in certain corps. Ever been in a suit with 900-1000 HP and dropped by one guy with his rail rifle from 141 meters? Really What is that about. Repairs on the maps would also be nice. Getting stuck next to the point between steps has been an issue since the map was introduced a year ago. Waiting for deployment has become an issue as well. How many times should a deployment fail before you get into battle? Or how long should a player expect it to take to get fixed? A week, A month, A year? And when it does get repaired, what old problem will be re-introduced to the game; Only to deal with older problems all over again. Public matches need to be reconsidered as well. I watch so many good gamers play this game, or try to become involved but never get an opportunity to really enjoy the experience because certain 'bully' corps do everything they can to destroy everything in sight.
First impressions mean a lot. You can make or break a decision based on that impression. Honestly after playing DUST 514 from Day 1 has been a 'hellofaride' and a good time. But if I had to start the game now as a new player, the software would have been removed from my ps3 within a week.
A few things CCP may want to consider...
1. Replacing one OP weapon with another OP weapon IS NOT a repair.
2. Changing squad sizes but not including Scotty in the decision, is a poor decision.
3. allowing established OP corps to 'sync' into public matches (where new players are trying to figure it out) is just wrong and by doing so reduces potential for a 'new player base'
4. Ignoring map issues that have been reported over and over indicates lack of communication on the behalf of CCP and indicates that players are not their #1 prority.
5. waiting to deploy for 5-6 minutes only to be kicked and start over 3,4,5,6,7 times before getting into battle is a huge waste of the little time I have to game. Sometimes as long as 40min. to actually deploy.
1-5 are the main reasons I stopped putting money into the game. I have put a lot in, and in a way I recognized subconsciously that CCP must not want anymore of my money, or they just do not care about my experience in the game. I don't mind getting shot up, I mind that it is a market based game and losses due to the same issues over and over indicate they just don't care.
Now what was the question? OH! why I play.....
Well I play a lot less now because when I choose to play a game, I want to have fun. Loading DUST 514 has become a coin toss of what happened this time. Often I choose to do something else.
CCP- you need to FOCUS. I may not feel this way IF every video I have seen of CCP, they act like there job is just a big party. Believe me, it is beginning to show in both games; EvE Online and DUST 514.
I had high hopes that they would tie the games together as mentioned in the past, but I do not believe CCP has what it takes to really pull it off. That is the difference between a professional programming studio, and a group of people who know how to program; But really have their mind on fun, games, parties. I do not believe the card of getting the games to really mesh was ever in the deck to begin with, but rather a good idea that simply put is not in their ability.
why I play? I have no clue anymore. A few friends I have met along the way, but we can talk now anywhere. The whole world is now designed for just that. Communication. With Communication now said, Hmmmm. CCP TALK TO EACH OTHER, fix the game. Please! Balance the game. Please! Make it friendly for new players. Please!
Thank you That is all.
