On the old board, I had posted that I gave this game a try and ended up not liking it. Well I went back to it awhile back, and since getting skilled up a bit, have become addicted.
CCP seems committed to the long haul and have continued to improve the game (1.0 to 1.5 patch in 5 months). I left for a spell during the 1.3 Uprising release and came back after the 1.4. Things seemed much better (new maps, not getting stuck on the environment, better aim/hit detection, on-going balancing changes etc.). Then again, the passive SP gained over the time I was gone, applied to my desired role (logi) made a big difference in battle.
Now with 1.5 due out Oct 8th, I'm excited to see the game continue to grow.
If anyone has any interest, things like Blue Prints and the Merc pack are going away Oct. 8th and you might want to grab one before they are gone.
I have my logi at Advanced level, being about 3 months away from Prototype level, with "Omega Passive Boosters" (2x normal, also only available until the end of oct. I believe).
Anyway, if anyone here is playing, give me a holler so we can corp and/or squad up.
Cross Ragweed is my Dust-514 user.

Cool. I may check it out if I get bored of GTA Online. I have Dust installed on my PS3, just never got round to it.

Make sure and have a character setup and set as active for "Static Boosters", which acquire about 16 skill points a minute, all the time, rather you play or not. Then if/when you do go to play, you will have some sp saved up to skill up. The game is horribly frustrating when you first start as it is setup and intended as a very long term game.

Decided to dust this game off. (Pun may have been intended) It'll be close to a year since last playing it, so it'll be cool to see what new developments/fixes have been made.

I haven't touched it since before release either, so let me know how it looks nowadays, would you?

It's actually really good. It's not as overwhelming/daunting as before and has a nice rhythm in terms of getting in there and getting into the action. You don't feel as boaty when running and you can actually do some damage to the enemy. The menus are 3 billion times more user friendly too. Downside is that I've only been in matches with 2 or 3 other people. Other than that, it gets two solid ninja thumbs up.

Two or three other people? You mean there's just no one playing it, or that the matchmaking has gone south?

I'm hoping it's the latter. In the startup screen it said that there were 44000 members, but that may have been referring to total members.
