Well, this time it almost certainly is. As a vehicle user if they screw this up that will indicate the long term goals for vehicles in dust.
Balls this up, and anyone thinking Dust could be more exciting than every other infantry driven FPS, or who hoped to see some semblance of the ship-building coolness from Eve come into this via vehicle fittings will give up hope.
If they still think one kid with a militia FG should be able to take down or deny the entire map to a 20 million SP, 1.5 million ISK, 3 person assault dropship.... Then I heard of a few other games that look like a better way for us to waste our time with.
They aren't touching vehicle balance in 1.4, they're aiming on that for 1.5 my good sir. Edit : Kind of a drag to say, but while there is some infantry balance changfes going in... I can't really talk about it in detail until they do, or they give us permission to blab. Don't expect a complete overhaul like they want to do for vehicles though.
Hmm, I am assuming dropsuits were not changed at all which leads me to believe that Caldari and Gallente will still have the same base stats so the Caldari will still reign supreme, role bonus and most racial bonus still stuck, and dual tanking will still be God-mode-easy-mode-scrub-mode-mode. |

I will say this much:
PCU is but a single metric, amongst plenty that measure player base size. It is pretty foolish to wave around one number as "evidence" of anything other than what it measures - number of people logging in each day.
Two other facts remain on the table:
1.) CCP has never really marketed Dust514, or aggressively pursued new players. They've discussed such campaigns at Fanfests and the like, but not executed them yet.
2.) If CCP genuinely looked at their collective metrics and saw signs that Dust514 was a "dying" entity or a "failed" project - their behavior would be quite different at the moment. They continue to bring people on board to assist in polishing the game and adding new features, and have a concrete roadmap that they have been following (as they said they would). All you have to do here is follow the money - CCP is continuing to invest even more in Dust514 than ever before, which indicates that maybe they're seeing a lot more than just PCU that gives them reason to stick to the long term plans they've had all along.
As a CPM member with access to some of this information (No, don't ask, I'm already up against the glass here) - I am at least comfortable saying that CCP does not have the doomsday outlook that the players do looking at Chribba's website, and for good reason. |

WHY are you waiting for gamescom, which is like 10 days before release (Which means they can't reverse anything by now), to tell us about what could potentially be a terrible update?
What if some of the things there makes the community go nutz?
You should have told us everything by now.
Heck EVE Odyssey 1.1 ALREADY GOT 10 DEV BLOGS (Might be more, 10 was last time I checked).
Is this the same company we're talking about?
the eve community gets a few more devblogs because the community is better informed, and less qq-oriented than the dust community.
i wouldn't mind if the devs completely ignored the forums for the next 6 months and just prioritized the foundation of their service. |

It would be foolish to expect you are going to keep the hacking bonus, they've already stated they are changing the logi bonuses to be more equipment oriented. But hey, you skilled into that hacking fit knowing it was more powerful than what min assault could do, guess you have to live with your choices now. Stop being a little bit ch and do what you told all of the cal logis to do, you are a logistics suit not an assault or hacking suit. You should be in the back with a repair tool and nowhere near hostile objectives.
How about you worry about what you're doing, and I worry about what I'm doing. For a game that's meant to offer deep character customization, there's too many people who like to pretend they know what others should do. Also, in case if you didn't know, Minmatar logi have had that hacking bonus since beta.

I've been a logi since Chromosome and aside from active scanners and demolitions, I have all my equipment at max level. Ask around, I'm even kind enough to warm the injector before I stick it in. |

What??? There used to be 50,000 Dust-Only players on the servers at once in closed beta....
The current numbers you see are Dust AND EVE when you login... 50% are EVE.
I'd say the playerbase dropped drastically.... |

It sucks to be told that huh..? yep gotta love the hate in this community and this obsession with non logis to think that all logis should have their repair tool as a primary weapon and a sidearm with -50% damage just as an emergency backup.
but yeah... still... that hacking bonus is toast.. there is no way I can see logis keeping any of their bonuses from 1.0 - 1.3 unless they make a k.1 variant or something.

I'm at the point that this "community" can kiss my ass. |
