But in regards to the patch notes, sometimes a fresh pair of eyes can spot things people close to the project can't. Maths is maths afterall. Or the players can outright tell you how they are going to openly exploit a change.

We are the end customer and in the business word customers are a big part of the development process. The gaming world is no diffrent. Please work with us.

And stop using a live eniorment ti teat changes. It's bad practice full stop.

Well, I agree but sometimes people forget that this is something really new, a MMO on a console that is working towards a full connection with another MMO on a different platform. So this is something akin to getting a man on the moon, and there were problems along the way there. Did people troll the NASA space program when things didn't go according to plan? Or did they get back on the horse and help provide solutions?

We do listen to player feedback and some of them do make it into the game. It would be a lie to say that is not so. I know that it's taken longer than most of you on the forums would like, but it does take time to workout a solution when one is trodding down a path never traveled. A few of you on the forums have been with us all this time, so I am just asking you guys to keep on providing helpful feedback and a little less hate. Hope that's not too much to ask.

A few of you on the forums have been with us all this time, so I am just asking you guys to keep on providing helpful feedback and a little less hate. Hope that's not too much to ask. This is your problem right here CCP, everyone at CCP working on DUST514 needs to read this post from Wang, and if you find yourself stuck in this mentality you need to immediately banish it from your mind FOREVER. You guys have far too many ideas in your head at the same time, pulling you in so many different directions that you don't even know what areas of this very broken game need to be focused on. How you can possibly think about "getting a man on the moon" when you still have yet to invent an airplane that can get off the ground? What you should have done since day one, and what you must do now, is focus ALL of your attention on building an FPS that actually functions. You have to make sure your foundation is set, and set so solidly that you'll never need to change it or think about it again. You should not need to reinvent the way propeller planes fly when you are building your spaceship. Even if it's just starting with a 1v1 fight and making sure every aspect of that is solid and then moving forward, that is the approach you must take. Once you lock down flawless mechanics for an individual's aiming, hit-detection, movement, weapon balance, and FUN (you still fail to include fun) then you can move forward. For instance, why are you adding new weapons when the ones that currently exist are not balanced and do not function properly? What do you think will happen when you add more weapons onto an already horribly unbalanced system? You waste so much time introducing new weapons and then trying to balance them- but you're trying to balance them on a completely unbalanced foundation. How can you expect to build towards to moon when the foundation is constantly changing? You have just spent the last few updates and many months trying to balance out the Mass Driver and Flaylocks, among others, but what is going to happen to that 'balance' when the underlying mechanics are completely overhauled? At this point I would say that your only real path forward is to just shut it down in order to fix DUST properly, for a year, 6 months, or however much time it takes you to build a solid, stable, unchanging foundation of proper FPS mechanics. Then when you go to add all of these cool amazing ideas you have you will not be held back from reaching the moon because you forgot to install the fuel tanks.

Will I be kicked for running around the battlefield and taking cover from enemy fire because I don't perform a "PvP Action"?

Beren Hurin The Vanguardians 1179	Posted - 2013.08.23 12:54:00 - [18] - Quote Can't wait for scanning changes. I think the clutter issue is going to be helped a lot. I'm wondering about friendly equipment though...will we be able to see all friendly deployed equipment or only scanned/LOS? IF only scanned/LOS, this could be one of the main reasons to have >10m passive detection.

Patch Notes wrote:* The Swarm Launcher Operation skill bonus has been changed from increasing the clip size to reducing the lock-on time by 5% Have fun reloading more often Reloading is not a problem. Minor change to lock on but basically about SIX times as many volleys as before. LLAV may still run away but tanks are doomed. I'll wait for deployment for final judgement but this is one of those things it would have been nice to discuss before it was set in stone.

Does the skill point bonus count against or add to the weekly skill point cap? Are there any SP rewards for active scanners to offset the cost of taking up a slot to return squad awareness to its current level? If there are not in this update will there be SPs for this in later updates. If there will be, which update?

I'd like confirmation on this. Is it max ammo on loaded ammo that is being changed? I only have Swarm Ops to 3 and none of the support skills so my ammo was just about factory standard already. As a barely trained user it feels like I'll be making dents much faster in my targets.
