To truly give a review of an update, one must try not be completely bias about themselves or anyone. They must also give the pros and cons about the update itself. Also your opinion is YOUR OPINION. Whit that said here is my review of the game DUST 514 Uprising 1.4 (nice sound and tone with it). This may be a TL:DR
I will admit I hated the download time for the update but that in itself is normal. Logging onto DUST 514, many players were greeted with a new feature when sign in. CCP remapped how players may see themselves when this happens. Players can see how much SP they have along with the sign in bonus SP they my earn by signing in daily as well as how much they had earned passive and what booster they have active. They can also see the top selling aurum items without going into the market. If a player is wanting to see that screen again just go to where your character sheet is located. The cons about this is it may increase loading times for people with bad connectivity to DUST or just prolong the overall loading time.
When going into the market place to buy drop-suits, players will notice that ALL DROP-SUITS ARE IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER. Without any problems, I noticed there were no problems when it came to finding your drop-suit as well as the level. CCP also added in missing content like the M8 packed locus grenade that people could buy for ISK but was told no before Uprising 1.4. Actually when I think about it CCP also put everything back in class order (STD-PRO). An example would be a player trying to buy scan dampeners and such. In 1.3 it was a hassle, in 1.4 it is right in front of you under electronics/engineering right below the CPU upgrades. As an added bonus they put the range amplifier and the precision module bunched in with it making it easier to get all 3. The cons about the new market place is adapting to the new layout. Some people may prefer the old layout and came to love that layout.
Module wise I know for a fact that there are mixed opinions on this. With the Armor buff coming into play, being shield heavy may not look like a liable option now. Not only that but any armor heavy player will not suffer from speed penalties as much as they did in 1.3. This is a stealth buff to heavies/dual tankers and a stealth buff to explosives. As for shield tanking it can still be good however the con is if the armor buff isn't enough then shield tanking players may suffer in the 1.5 update which I do not see happening anytime soon. Another con could be that Minmatar and Gallente Logistics suits may or may not become FOTM (Which I hope to god no. I have been a Minmatar Logi since day 1). People may QQ about heavies being too strong again which shouldn't happen given the fact that heavies were nerfed with every Uprising update besides this one.
Adding a new map to the mix was a big pro in my book. Players would need to find new tactics when it came to the Lab map. Upon entering battle I was greeted with this map for skirmish and I felt like a new player out of academy not knowing where to go (and this is coming from a dude with 14mil SP). Overtime players may find multiple ways to attack this map which in itself is a pro and a con. The con my not be at this moment but later on down the road it will present itself
So far the biggest con about this update according to multiple post is the Deployment for battles. CCP I do like what you did for the update. Players can now see the different amount of battle contracts in the game that in itself is a huge plus, but when players have to wait longer than 5 minutes ( I heard a max of 2 hours if my sources are correct) just to get to the deployment waiting room for battle is a bad sign for CCP. There is a way to have the system look for just one game mode ( sorry for caps here but PRESS SQUARE ON THE INSTANT BATTLE SLOT) but players will not know that unless they take the time to read the whole screen. I think this is the only major con holding back Uprising 1.4 which could be fixed with weekly updates if CCP can find the time for it.
Read and review (R&R) this update is alright, B- standards 82%. If CCP manage to work out the kinks with the waiting times upon signing in and waiting for battle this could be an A- update, A- due to the fact that everything is not yet released. The grading is also due to possible FOTM issues people will/might QQ about and people still complaining about the unbalance of shields to armor and vise versa. Let me know your take on the 1.4 update below.

there was nothing stealthy about this. anyone too daft to realize that reducing speed penalty on plates would buff heavies is too stupid to live.
if you bothered to read, you noticed that heavy players (like me) have been foaming at the mouth in anticipation of this change.
I'd comment on the rest of your wall of text, but no. Not worth my time and mostly similarly skewed and off-base.
Edit: except for the matchmaking stuff. CCP needs to actually listen to what the playerbase WANTS rather than trying to change the intent of our requests. |

They came out with some HUGE maps; 10x the size of the ones we're used to and they got rid of the tacnet bad combination. I'm all for getting rid of the tacnet if the new maps weren't so big. Also the complexes in the new maps are over complicated having to actually use the exit signs on the walls to find your way out. Oh and on my very first game (10 minute wait) my first death was a murder taxi.. |

Unless you armour tank and suspect you don't please refrain from spreading you utter bullshit about balance until you have spent the better part of 6 months as the inferior tanking type, if you are an armour tanker.... well you sir are a idiot. Why are you complaining? |

Then why did you respond then? I can dual tank and you want that armour module positive to outweigh all the negatives that came with the update. You sir are a ******* hypocrite. |

Normally for people who know who I am knows I do not complain this much. Yea I should be happy that my proto minmater logi can reach 1300 EHP but when people have to wait 20 min to 1 hour just to get to the deployment bay just to play a battle is a HUGE PROBLEM. In 1.3 it was just X, X, wait, go play. Here is "let's play the waiting game". I do not use aim assist but from the sounds of it noobs can kill players easier and vets who do use it just have a fun time with it. Out of the 10 matches I played I finished 0 because I was kicked out of everyone of them.
In 1.3 when we had this problem it wasn't as bad as it is now. Even worse when my corp tried to go to PC since we had a PC battle, our players and the enemy players had trouble staying in the deployment bay.
I will do one better If I am able to go 10 matches without any problems I will randomly give out 10 mil ISK for anyone posting here. I will put my ISK where my mouth is. |

That is if I can get pass the character selection screen anytime soon. I will admit at 12 noon CST I did not have this problem. It is 1.3 server issues all over again but on a worsen scale. |

The point that all of us can agree on is the matchmaking is in need of a hotfix. If I had to be a prick to get a point across then fine 0 ****s given

Matchmaking and several map issues are supposedly being fixed in 3-5 days.
CCP has acknowledged the issue and are working on a fix to the long wait time and several other stuff I don't have the mind to list. |
