Sounds awesome, **** that guy above me

Can't wait to see the patch notes....I'm kind of hoping that there will be some new weapons.

If there were new weapons they would of said something in the blog, no point in hiding something like that.

You don't have to be so cynical about it. CCP is quite vague with most things. Who knows what to expect in the patch notes...

Where are the significant changes to infantry? Any weapons buffed/nerfed? What about dropsuits? Pilot suit anyone? Meh I'll wait for patch notes, nothing exciting to see here besides the LAV nerf, which was my suggestion and I highly approve.

-XOXO

Did anyone els catch tgat part "you just have to mean it more" muhahahaha CCP endorses murder taxies and killer cabbies . Keep on truckin beep beep.

LAVs were not that big a problem. people just needed to run more AV. Or actuall invest skill points into AV gear... with this nerf there is no need to use AV gear beyond militia swarms and miltia Forguns.

Well we will see how this plays out. from the way its written, it seems that you can still do damage with an LAV if you hit someone. still, dust players really need to get real and start exploring more weapons and equipment in the game other than just "caldari logistics, sheld and armor plates, AR"

The blog makes some pretty outrageous claims of fixing things.

PC LAG is not fixed
Your VOIP is still acting like a joke

etc.

We know you've all been waiting for more details on the Uprising 1.4 update. Straight from the desk of CCP Praetorian, we have a new dev blog giving an overview of what's coming on September 3rd and beyond!

And before anyone asks: Patch notes tomorrow.

Did you see that it's mentioned in the "New Features and Content in Uprising 1.4" part?
Bad troll is bad.

So as nobody has asked 'what does this button on the bottom of the gun do?'

But seriously... what is 'shared squad vision'? and what effect will disabling it have?

I believe (and correct me if I'm wrong), it means that you will not be able to see a chevron "pop up" due to another team member looking at a target that you are not currently observing as well. This will be interesting, as most people highlight those specific chevrons to counter-snipe snipers, etc. I guess we will be relying more on the attack order, assuming what I said is the change they are bringing.

You failed to read this part right here:
Uprising 1.3 saw important behind-the-scenes updates and bug fixes (as I am sure you all can see when in normal match-made battles), as well as the large-scale Planetary Conquest battles. But for the most part, the release focused on stability and performance.

By contrast, Uprising 1.4 is more substantial with regard to user-facing game systems. Let's get into some of the improvements the dev teams have made in the latest release cycle.

So go jump on another alt and high five yourself with some likes as you are confused about a great many things.

This is a system that is designed to give you daily activity bonus skill points upon first-time login each day, with an increase of each consecutive day of login. Eventually it maxes out on the seventh day, but keeps that bonus until you miss a daily login.

It's been a while since we've released brand new levels into the game. We are adding a brand new Research Facility Surface Infrastructure (comprised of one large outpost, 2 medium components and 4 small components) and a full 5k terrain with three battlegrounds called Craters. We are also releasing new GÇ£moodsGÇ¥ to add more flavor and realism to the universe of New Eden. .

as of right now you see red dots on your tacnet that your squad sees. soon you will only be able to share tacnet info if someone is running an active scanner.

I think I already know the answer but I wish to clarify something. The Login Bonus SP, does that count towards our weekly cap?

The rendering systems got their share of optimization and improvement love as well, with a notable change to the rendering of special effects such as the dropship thrusters.

No new weapons..

:/

It better not. It'd be rewarding behavior for just logging in for 1 minute and logging off. And it'd eat up 31,500 of our weekly cap with that!

In order to better incentivize playing, most sp gains in matches should come from WP gains and less emphasis on being there. Then, to offset the QQ this would cause, allow for cap rollover.

The biggest complaint to the daily sp cap was that it forced people to log in every day or fall behind. Congratulation you've managed to forget the past in record time and revive a problem I had thought we were on the road to killing.

That's like going to your boss and complaining that your paycheck is bigger than last week and now you have to pay more taxes.

Don't like the disabling of shared squad vision. It was alright when they disabled shared team vision but I think this is a little much. I mean it's something that can be lived with it'll just make finding were the hell the enemy is a lot more annoying.

If this stays CCP certainly needs to make it so that when you fire your weapon it gives your position away for a few moments. Which makes perfect sense since how our radars are actually sonars. Perhaps even implement a new skill that suppresses the sound made by your weapon.

it appears that no one has inquired further into the login bonus sp received. a few questions on that. first, i saw the pic as +3000 for the first day, then +3500 for the second day. my question is this, do we receive 3000 for the first day, then 3500 for the next day, or 3000 for the first day, and +500 for second. second, do we have to fill a certain quota of matches to attain the bonus sp, or do we just login, logout and go eat a sandwich? third, and last. what are these many other things to come you mentioned?

When you log in I think it gets added to your bonus pool, so you need to play a match or two to actually earn that SP.

I might be mistaken though.

I like everything except the daily log-in bonus which is pretty lackluster. Only 31k more SP a week if you log on all 7 days? Hopefully down the line we'll maybe get something more inspired as a reward/incentive to log in every day (especially after we've hit the cap).

All we need now is the secondary market and corp hangers

you get 42,000 sp a week after the first week and you keep logging on daily

Ah I must have skimmed the part where it says you keep the bonus after Week 1 until you miss a day.

That doesn't discredit my point though. 31.5k and 42k are both really low. I'm not saying I'd rather not have it, but if you're going to introduce something like this, make it sort of worthwhile.

We are also releasing new GÇ£moodsGÇ¥ to add more flavor and realism to the universe of New Eden.

Also might make scanners used more.

So the RF SI... would that be comparable to the Biomass Outpost or Orbital Artillary Outpost? Because it was my understanding that those were considered large sockets. But the wording here is confusing, its as if the SI outpost is composed of more than just a large socket? Or are you referring to a package of sockets that could show up on other maps now?

Or possibly, you are saying that there really are 'socket families'? Like you will only see large socket A.L.1 with medium sockets A.M.1 and A.M.2 or A.M.3 ? I'm confused at your language here... Please give more detail?

This one? http://web.ccpgamescdn.com/dust/news.control/64718/1/outpost6.jpgBig smile

Research Facility is the first in a new way we are doing the sockets. Your last guess is pretty much dead on. Research is a full blown outpost, however, the two mediums and four smalls are a part of its set. And you will typically in the future not see them mixed with another set of sockets. They may be loaded in a game mode area that does not use the large outpost, but the mediums and smalls would still be from the set. It's possible additions to these sets will come in the future. All SI's will follow this formula in the future at this time. 1 Large Socket, 2 Medium Sockets, 4 Small sockets.



That is the one.

Now, in regard to the weekly skill cap and the implications of it:

We acknowledge that the current implementation of the skill cap still isn't quite there yet. It doesn't quite allow people to choose when to play as freely as we would like, and it also adds some unnecessary complexity when it comes to using active boosters. This is why we are working our way towards a rollover SP system: instead having your pool of bonus SP being reset according to a fixed weekly cycle, you will steadily accumulate bonus SP to a pool over time that you can then empty through fighting in battles. As a result, everyone should be able to better choose when to come in and claim the available SP. Moving to such a system would have the added benefit of allowing us to make active boosters to give out a constant value over time by having them influence the rate at which SP accumulates into the pool instead of just multiplying SP received at the end of each battle.

new battlefinder crap and other crap we dont need? Thats great CCP, its like you dont listen to the community. Get off IIRC and maybe play your game on the live servers a bit.

Not to be a weirdo about visual design of the FW button on the instant battle menu-- 3 in one row, 1 in a second row? You should alter the spacing to either fit them all in one row or 2 x 2. The weighting of 2 rows and 3 columns for 4 objects looks very very odd for professional design in my opinion.

Shared squad vision is that if a player on the far north of the map sees a red dot in front of them, so does the friendly blue dot in the squad all the way to the far south, and so does the entire team see the red dots on the mini-map.

Seems to be some sort of buff or actual implementation of the scanners role in the game.

The new battle finder was actually a requirement for delivering our modified matchmaking system. We needed to change how it worked anyway so we took the opportunity to make it more relevant at the same time. The real motivation behind the change is to create more accessible and balanced battles which I think we can all agree is a worthwhile goal.

Not even a single relevant word.


There was nothing about the SP cap rollover system that has been 'SoonTM' for so long and nothing about a respec system, I was thinking on picking Dust again to see what it had to add value to my gaming experience but as usual another bad update.

And this seems pretty smart to me cos it should mean less information being sent within the data packets which means less server-side and local processing unless in situations where it's necessary due to the active scanners! And less information means less lag... All of this is good stuff and every single small change like this should improve the gameplay..

Will signing in through the Neocom Vita App count toward the daily SP bonus?

My Cheetos-stained fingers are ready to grab a hold of those patchnotes.

So what are these Other Special contract (...)

"We have also dramatically reduced the issues with LAV collision damage; They now do damage based on the speed that a vehicle is traveling. This means it is far more difficult to roadkill infantry, though not impossible. You just have to mean it more! :)"

ccp gives in to ****** demands that make no sense

we arent playng on a airplane landing strip

after this crappy event im gone , there is a good month coming full in good games

i will be back next year and hopefully game isnt a CoD clone

if things still sucks you deserve 1 more chance of 6 months break then its delete time for Rust514

FLOP

Take out that stupid forge-gun its a load of crap it does anything AV its a fancy flame thrower in the description i.e. plazma.
swarms are fine because chaff or flares but that gun is doing some things that are making people wonder if playing 4 rounds fighting your ass off to pay for that badass drop ship or tank is worth it. Drop ships need a BIG BUFF
vehicles : dropship needs buff, tanks just fine, lav what the hell are you doing over there!


if you want to snipe get a rifle not a Forge-gun .

PLEEZ fix my dropships and get rid of that newb gun as far as AV . AP is ok and fine

**** pc...

**** everything all I care about are game modes and maps right about now -.-

i'm with you guys on the improvements to the game seriously I like a shiney new menu as much as the next guy, but i've gotten so used to nsiping on these maps, I can snipe people between cracks in hit boxes that your rendering system won't even display.....
