So after not playing for a few months I came back for 1.4 to check things out as I heard it's meant to be good. It lasted 4 matches. Here's the play by play...
Match 1:
Can I still play this competently? No I can't
Dust 514 on PS3 isn't Splinter Cell Blacklist on X360, rewire brain to correct controls.
Match 2:
Oki slightly back into it, kinda cool.
Matches are half empty but it's AUTZ so whatevs.
People feel a bit more squishy than I remember.
lol grenade spam still doesn't work if you do it wrong guys...
Match 3:
Oki back into it full swing, shootin dudes and stuff.
Having fun
New building thinggy looks cool
Grenades don't go through the balustrades properly, didn't look close but I bet they're an alpha keyed texture... If you go cheap you get cheap...
Won the match and had fun. Win
Match 4:
Oki test out the filters for the matches, time to get some ambushes cycled through
Domination isn't an ambush, whatevs time to pew pew
Grenade spam still doesn't work if you don't do it right...
Oki we got the point...
OMG WHAT WAS THAT EXPLOSION
LOL the point rocket is firing straight into a beam above it, awesome work LD's / QA
Whelp now I know for certain MCC damage is based off the missiles contacting the MCC rather than a timer based off the point itself.
People starting to leave, 120 clones to go.
I'm out too.
Merc Quarters:
Reset filter
Try to start a match
Nothing happens
Chat says I'm in a team but no match
Can't exit out of match select screen
Button mashing gets me out somehow, still in team chat
Retry to start a match
Still fails after 3 seconds
Log out
Log back in
Still in team...
Quit game
Load game
Try to start a match, fails after 3 seconds
Turn off PS3
Complain on forums about abysmal QA from CCP
There it is...
Seriously wtf. This is real basic functionality here and basic first priority Level Design stuff. It's failing a lot. Whatever QA testing you're doing is not working here and it's a shame as it's letting down all the cool new stuff you do. The new match select screen is cool. The new window after login is cool. The game loads in WAY fast now, that's cool. The new building is cool.
You're failing at QA and bug fixing and it's ruining all your good work. I know it isn't fun and you want to build on your work but I implore you, for the next month PLEASE do bug fixing and bug fixing alone. Multiple patches weekly with new fixes, get this game up to something that at least feels like it will stay together for a single play session.
Get EVERY SINGLE DEVELOPER in the office to be playing Dust for 2 hours at the end of each day, no exceptions. It really feels like there's some devs who don't have any buy in on what's happening here. Get them invested in fixing this and having some pride in their work.
