1. Time for another extended break away from Dust - in General Discussions [original thread]
Long and regular breaks seem to be the way with Dust - we all get sick and tired of reporting the same tired old faults, so we take a break, increasingly long breaks as frustration mounts. But we really want to see Dust be all it should be. So we ...

2. hit detection problems please help fix it CCP - in General Discussions [original thread]
This has always been the problem killing Dust, and I'm pretty sure it's a network effect that's causing it. And much as I agree with you, that is desperately needs to be fixed, I think if CCP wanted to save Dust they would have investigated it by ...

3. Please, for the love of all that is holy, fix hit detection CCP - in General Discussions [original thread]
Although none of us (that's *none* of us) can state definitively how hit detection is working (or rather, not working) until CCP publish some details, there's some evidence that it's both client and server side. You shoot at an enemy, their shi...

Beck Weathers wrote: Well I will say that the domination map with "The Pit" as my corp likes to call it, I have noticed that i dont lag to death as much, more like 10% of the time rather than 70% so I would say CCPs working on it. Maybe they ...

6. [POLL] What is the best option for tank balance? - in General Discussions [original thread]
Errr, I never thought I'd say this.... Here's my perspective for some months... I've been pretty sick of OP tanks, clearly set up with rapid-fire weapons to harvest infantry kills with minimal danger, and usually ending the game 20/0. As soon as ...

8. CCP should focus more on technical side than content - in General Discussions [original thread]
Agree with original poster - gameplay needs attention if Dust is to ever stop haemorrhaging players to other, more technically polished. games. I can't really see how anyone can claim that "we've had a year working on core", the only bone thrown ...

9. The spoiled rich kids that vehicle users have become - in General Discussions [original thread]
Well, OP is certainly almost entirely correct, except that tanks weren't really ever used to kill one another that much - they were always primarily kill-farming anti-infantry invulnerable monsters. But still tankers cried that they aren't tough e...

10. ccp can can you please fix the frame rate lag in 1.8 - in General Discussions [original thread]
It's not a new problem, although it certainly affects different players to different degrees - I've had it since maybe a couple of months into the beta, becoming steadily worse with each update, regularly reported, fixes regularly requested. It's ...

11. How active is everyone? - in General Discussions [original thread]
Active - no, not very much these days... I used to play the game constantly during beta testing - many hours every day - but now I tend to play maybe a couple of hours a week, and then anything up an hour or two again on the fora describing the r...

12. Announcement:Uprising 1.4 Patch Notes - in General Discussions [original thread]
Well, I'm certainly glad to see the matchmaking system re-done. Long overdue. Otherwise, this is all in the realm of pointless fluff to me. Once again, nothing about the core gameplay problems which prevent the game from rising to "acceptable FPS"...

13. IGÇÖm not satisfied with the patch 1.4. Are you? - in General Discussions [original thread]
Satisified? No. Core gameplay still borked.
All other factors irrelevant until (1) resolved.
I admire the scope and ambition of Dust, and wish it all the best, but why oh why are Devs wasting time with minor animation tweaks when core gam...

14. Why is the lag so bad? why is the hit detection so bad? - in General Discussions [original thread]
Have to agree with OP - core gameplay is fundamentally flawed, and the playing field is far from even. Getting out-manoeuvred and taken out by a better-organised enemy - that's really cool. Totally out-manoeuvring the enemy, opening fire on their ...

Agreed, Dust 514 Uprising, now featuring a return of super-sticky terrain. Very very annoying.

16. How to stop players whining tanks are OP. - in General Discussions [original thread]
I hear this a lot - tanks are OP/ no they're not, and then folks start getting offensive. Not good. And of course, it's all opinion. So let's try a subjective test, eh? Simply ask yourself these two questions... Is it common or possible for ...

18. Corporations Dust and EVE - in General Discussions [original thread]
Wow, I'm amazed... From the sound of it, this will not be a popular statement, but am I the only one who thinks the taxation system in Eve is (at best) fundamentally flawed? Allow me to explain... In the real world, we go out to work for "the man...
