Dust 514....

Dust had it's December event. I did get to login and play most of the day's. I missed the start due to Christmas day priorities and the last day I ignored because I didn't want to waste my game time doing the daily on two characters just to get a snowball launcher.

Overall I found that the event may have brought back a large contingent of older players, as the total áss whooping was a lot harder than normal. I saw a lot of high end, co-ordinated groups. Which is not so much fun for a solo player in public matches. So I mainly found myself running expendable infinite militia suits to get the job done. If I'm gonna be spam in a can I may as well do it in a free militia suit getting kills that would make an Eve player blush about their killboard. I still really really enjoyed killing officer geared players with a militia weapon/suit.

There's been no real news on the Dust 514 front about the future of the game. I think most players who care about such things are past the caring stage due to a huge amount of apathy. CCP's silence is of concern.

So much could have been done with Dust there was promise in the game, then it fell flat on it's face and no amount of resuscitation can help get it back on it's feet never mind sitting up straight. At the moment it is what it is. Better than the mess it was due to CCP Rattati, he has helped the game and the CCP/player bridge for sure but there's so much more out there that does things better. Dust's uniqueness is on a knife edge and CCP overall aren't helping.

I'm surprised I never got into Planetside 2 where dust has that "something" that hooks me in. There was this blog post that may bring light to a port, hopefully that site will bring port news front and center.

I was pleased to see a return form a youtuber regarding Dust 514 gameplay and fitting video's,
