(Don't lock i'm discussing it! :)
Boom dev blog.
So i'm gonna be taking a look at some of the great things found in this dev blog.
We have added in a brand new "Recent Updates" screen, which brings with it not only easy access to important information about your progression, communication and world events, but more importantly the daily active bonus. 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.
We have completely overhauledthe Battle Finder and related backend systems. It now not only looks much slicker; it also gives you far better context to why and where you are fighting. As with the Recent Updates screen, you can expect more evolution to the Battle Finder, and the experience of entering a battle, in Uprising 1.5.
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.
WeGÇÖve completely overhauled and retuned the aim-assist systems, made extensive changes to the vision system (including disabling shared squad vision), re-tuned most parameters, and added new player icons. 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! :)
you are now able to see exactly where the RDV deploys your vehicle
The rendering systems got their share of optimization andimprovement love as well.
So a massive update and still more to come! I'm loving what i'm hearing CCP more skill points just for logging in sounds great! I love it.
Please drop some comments about your thoughts.
biggest update ever? May just be. |

Really like the Daily Reward Bonus.
What do they mean by 'Battlegrounds' though. Is it going to be like Skirm 1.0 where everytime you destroy Null Cannon you advance onto a new 'Battleground'?
And I'm wondering if you can now see the path RDVs will travel, so Pilots can avoid that area. |

Here's awaiting the skills system v3. Reckon they will finally start to add advanced skills so we can see how to greatly affect our preferred style of play
People max'ing out at around 21mill sp and this taking just over 6months is silly |

People with full time jobs and recreational players are nowhere NEAR 21mil SP at the 6-8 month mark. Not saying they dont need to add but a full on revamp certainly isnt necessary IMO
The dev blog shows that everything is at least heading in the right direction and although the daily SP reward isnt huge, I believe it's properly set and is worthy of a login each day. Overall I was the most excited about Dust as I have been in a very long time after reading through it |

I bet everybody's all excited that this update is coming with new maps, because you know, that's all CCP has to worry about now, is adding more maps over 10 years, instead of improving the general performance over 10 years, or adding more weapons and vehicles over 10 years.
The general playerbase on here would have a really bad 10-year plan. |

Matchmaking and removing the black screen invisibility glitch.
Then i will come back to check it out....1.4 does not fix either.
Till then I am browsing New Egg and fapping over the PC i will build for Elite and Star Citizen....maybe in sept i will get GTA5 to pass the time. |

I was wondering about this word choice as well. To me, it just sounds like it's going to be used in the 3 game modes as each map we have now technically has 3 different "versions" depending on the mode.
Obviously skirm 1.0 would be much sweeter. |

I wouldn't give up on those things yet. Both have been said to be in the works for 1.4. You know how CCP is. They'll most likely add new things between now and the 3rd. That's almost two weeks away. |

The daily active bonus seems nice. Perhaps I will actually login each day and play a match or two while I wait for scouts to stop being bad, and for heavies to get actual content.

More WP and maps is always interesting but I don't expect the game to be where it should be. One of the two map looks like it will be exactly the same with installations differently placed. The cheap feeling of playing 3-4 maps that look the same will remain. |

Battlegrounds are small sectional cutouts of the larger ' 5km x 5km terrain' which is also a new thing coming in 1.4
We only have one terrain currently. Craters is the new terrain we're getting and it ships with three maps on it. This can also mean additional maps can be built into the terrain as time goes by as well to match 'mountains'
You are most familiar with them as 'maps' so in rough translation, 3 new maps and 1 large new random building to occupy the large socket on any other map all set in newer environments and layout. |

Notice they mention aim assist improvements but not aiming improvements. Wait and see is all we can do at this point.
I like the changes to the battlefinder in term of providing a New Eden context to Mercs.
New map, woot! That's been a long time coming. Very, very interested to see how CCP's new mesh tool cleans up the sticky spots.
New research SI, good. The power of combinatorics will be felt soon, a couple more maps and a few more SI and the rotation will be fairly deep even for the no-lifers.
Retuned what parameters, CCP? Dish!
LAVs. If this works, a deep and abiding peace will come over me on the battlefields of New Eden.
Rendering and audio improvements? Hoping this smoothes out the gameplay.
I like what they've chosen to priortize in 1.5 Warpoint and squad system improvments done right could potentially be the most important part of the update.
It looks to me like systems are slowly falling into place. |
