Agree completely. Last time they waited for a big even, fanfest to hype uprising. And we all know how uprising went/has gone.

Same company different studios, one has near perfected the player feedback process, the other is still rolling on the floor after it fell over its first baby step.

All I know is if I lose my logi hacking bonus, or get restricted to sidearms, I'm never reviving, healing, or supplying any of you ever again.

CCP Party - Gamescom 2013
01.08.2013 17:46
By CCP Dolan

CCP Developers will be at Gamescom 2013 in force and want to party with important space ship pilots, hardy DUST mercs and other special friends at Bauwerk K+¦ln in Cologne.

Come on out for some drinks, music and good times with everyone we love.

You can purchase a VIP Entry Pass, or pick up one of the free First Come - First Serve Tickets HERE.

1.4 information coming in Gamescom.
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?

it will either make it or break it. I reckon CCP are on the verge of destroying this game and annoying everyone who still plays it.

well the last time they had a hangout it was at E3 and they revealed the monthly patching to this game

Where the **** are you people getting this information that the information is coming only at Gamescon? Someone was kind enough to give me a link to the event but I see no mention of Dust 514 details posted there. Only mention of Eve and Dust players hanging out with the devs.

Nothing. Sounds more like a hangout rather than a full-blown CCP event.

I thought Argon was Cat Merc!

I'm confused!

Despite all this, 10 days before 1.4 release is still a significant amount of time. That's actually pretty good compared to 8 months ago.

It still doesn't change the fact that it'll be content locked and our feedback will be 100% worthless until the patch is already live.

/facepalm

You missed my point. I wasn't talking about that. I'm talking about the fact that CCP is giving us this much time to prepare before whatever it is they locked in the content reaches our cheetos-stained hands.

Last I heard, 1.4 wasnt even content locked yet.

Last I heard was that 1.4 already went to Sony for testing.

it will either make it or break it. I reckon CCP are on the verge of destroying this game and annoying everyone who still plays it.

Last I heard I wasn't sure if I was supposed to be able to tell you guys yet. None the less 1.5 is in the works if that means anything.

I haven't seen anything in what they've given us about 1.4 that would indicate any major warning flags (Other builds like Uprising, and almost every build leading up to it there were some pretty obvious "OH GOD CCP, PLEASE DO NOT DO" which were too late to be actionable)

However, with 1.4, the only things that really give me cause to be unsure... Are the things that notes can't really explain.

Like the new aiming systems for DS3 and Mouse, the removal of suit turn speed limitations, and the new scanning/tacnet system. All of these things have the potential to be incredibly bad, though arguably not worse (Could things really get worse?) or they could be flat out awesome. It's impossible to say without getting firsthand experience with it, which isn't possible.

Some of the stuff though just generally lends the feeling of "Why did it take so many iterations of the system to come up with this, which sounds to be infinitely better than what we've had so far"


Overall... I think it's safe to say there isn't cause to be /worried/ ..... But I'd say the jury is still out on if people should be /excited/. We'll see when it lands.

They may have heard it said before that X-patch is the make or break for their whole bloody game.

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.

The removal of suit turn speed limitations

yeh people have been saying since closed beta, dust has grown in playerbase since then :D

As of the publishing of this report, the CPM has also seen what will be coming in the next two releases GÇô and they're very much in the same vein, with 1.3 being a bit smaller than 1.2, and 1.4 potentially loaded with even more game-changing features than 1.2.

All I know is if I lose my logi hacking bonus, or get restricted to sidearms, I'm never reviving, healing, or supplying any of you ever again.

i'm guessing this is for mouse... so people can do a 180 in a split second while DS3 users won't? If this is the case, then i've officially lost hope that CCP knows how to balance anything in this game, and are just poking around in the dark hoping to hit the nail on the head.

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 bitch 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.

You guys rarely do that as it is you lazy banana!

yeh people have been saying since closed beta, dust has grown in playerbase since then :D

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.

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.
