Well, I am obviously not CCP lol, But I can provide some insight to some of these things.

1. Range, it is not just HMGs, it is everything, they removed the Sharpshooter skill, or more precisely what it did before. However, their range was most certainly one of the most cried about aspects around here. For a while there, everyone was saying how it was a CQC weapon and shouldn't outrange an AR. (Ofc, it only did when the HMG user had much better Sharpshooter, but that shows why they removed it.) Now that it doesn't outrange the AR anymore, everyone is crying the other way? Sheesh talk about hard to please.

2. Aiming. As has been confirmed a couple of times, in threads that are on the front page at this time of posting, especially one with the big blue DEV tag, that there as a bug with aiming and they are trying to figure it out. After reading the thread, and chiming in at the end, I agree that turn acceleration is broke, and feels wonky. Hopefully this gets fixed sooner rather than later, I agree.

3. The skills, well, ok I agree this is a tad odd, especially with Logis having no choice but to skill through proto basic frame to get a decent amount of equip slots. Was hard to drop that ~2m SP, definitely.

This is not a rant or rave or even me crying or being entitled. I've always had an interest in game design. And I love the way ccp talks with their player and seemly try's to please the majority while keep the game balanced and fun. I myself started playing dust at the start of open beta. And I remember the horrible spawns, the game cutting out, lots of just weird things the players reported it and the stuff got fixed.

What I can't figure out is why you took the dust everyone played day in and day out, and changed so much to the point it's a new game. Now this said I understand adapt not an issue and the game is still fun, but its simply not the dust it was two days ago. We understand the SS nerf we all wanted to some extent. We even understand the damage nerf.

What I'm really getting to is why did you change things we never said anything about?
Why nerf the heavies range to where I literally laugh at them(then feel bad when I kill them)
Why did you change the aiming?
Why make the core skills on dropsuits more than vehicles?
Why why why?

Point is why change things we as a player base were happy with no one cryed about some of the thing that were "fixed" an now they are broken. We can't help you guys as a community if you ninja stuff behind our backs. It's your game true but you have empty code without us. Lets all work together to make dust awesome together without doing ninja stuff to the game.... Please

Last last thing dust is 6days away from launch you know and we know its not ready. I say screw the nice little 5/14 **** if you release this game and people like ign review it... Man it could hurt our player base even more.
