Pros
- Magnificent job with gun flare. Makes My plasma cannon beautiful and deadly although assault rifles have a strobe effect that could cause seizures; i seriously urge CCP to add an option to turn this off. Games can already case seizures but certain effect make it more likely. I used to have a friend that had seizures and whenever he saw lots of flashing lights for a long period of time it would incite a seizure. Search for photosensitive epilepsy.
- New maps are very nice; although that new map feel made me kind of disoriented. I had kind of gotten used to the idea of knowing where to go and what to do. This created a challenge I hadn't had in months.
- Matchmaking: while broken at the moment I feel it will make a big difference. I see a lot of people getting ino half empty matches where one team has more people than the other; it could be that a bug is accidentally handicapping the stronger side to make the match statistically even.
- Murder taxi fix; just seeing poeple not use them as much is a good sign. Don't get me wrong I've gotten one or two kills where I thought I should have been going a bit faster but I hope that can be tweaked so that more speed is needed because I can still kill someone going less than my full speed.
- Armor balance: The overall effect of the armor balance was to make armor tanking more viable. The speed penalty reduction greatly helped raaces sch as the gallente that are armor heavy and who had to only use adv plates because complex took too much of a toll on movement speed.
- LAZORZ: It was very nice to see this weapon being used again. The iron sight could have been the whole problem when it was nerfed but for all intents and purposes it looks like it might make a comeback.
- New screen: The screen that shows your current stats and all is a very nice addition; it's too bad it doesn't include how much bonus SP you have left for the week. I see a lot of potential here and I hope you guys deliver.
- Turning off shared view: While we where initially running like chickens with our heads chopped off I got used to this idea fairly quick. It makes for a more strategic game and it doesn't feel like a run and gun anymore but ore of a tactical game. Many people may have different thought But I overall like it. Consequently this also fixed the Uplink spam necessity problem. Now well played drop uplinks should remain unnoticed unless scanned by the enemy. It definately made uplink hunting more fun when playing domination.
- RDV destination: showing where the RDV will drop your vehicle is godsend. Knowing where not to stand while in your expensive gear is a plus because it eliminates death by RDV almost completely.
So and So
- Dropship camera angle: I would have liked for CCP to have taken "If it's not broken don't fix it" phrase to heart on this one. There was nothing bad with it but now it's just odd. Not being able to see the surroundings of the dropship at some points of flight makes it difficult and more dangerous than ever to fly.While this camera angle did help assault dropships a bit; or so I've been told; the overall effect that other dropship classes are affected negatively. While not a gamebreaking thing it should strongly looked at and taken as an example of what not to do next patch.
- Strafing Fix: while the need to fix strafing speeds was necessary because it was a bug, scout suits have been negatively affected. Their style of suit should not have any speed reduction while strafing since they are, for all intents and purposes meant to be speedy and agile. I suggest lifting strafing speed reduction to scout suits as part of their balance since in all honesty, being fast and able to strafe and bunny hope should be a form of defense no matter how much people hate when they do it.
Cons
- Aim assist: Before I share my experience with aim assist I would like to clarify two details. The first is that I mostly use plasma cannons and the second is that I use mouse and keyboard. So i tested this mechanic by putting aside my KB&M and plasma cannon and picking up my controller and Assault rifle.
For all intents and purposes aim assist is the new FOTM. Even without ever having experience with the DS3 I was able to reduce my enemies to a bloody pulp with aim assist. I seriously just had to aim in the general direction and the hits would register. Aim assist is something you give to people in battle academy to get them used to the controls and ween them off it once they join real battles. Aim assist took most if not all the skill out of the game and would almost be game breaking if it where not for the fact that it only helps people without any skill. Skilled players will reap little if no benefit from this apart from making their off days incredibly good ones and their good days into godly ones.
- Shotgun: Someone Broke it and it needs to get fixed. Nuff said. It was a simple mistake on the deves part I'm sure someone just altered something by mistake. I hope the community doesn't rage too much; I know I was surprised when I got a headshot when I was aiming for the feet ^^.
BIGGEST PROBLEM: The biggest problem of all in this patch as with other are the ninja changes. There have been patches, like this one, where things have been changed and the community only learned of the change when they saw it in action. While CCP maintains their rights to do so I strongly urge them to discuss these changes with the CPM at least.
Conclusion:
Although coming out glitched to hell, containing a supercharged almost gamebreaking aim assist system and having matchmaking broken for the moment; uprising 1.4 is truly a good update. While we might have finished the day on a sour note I have high hopes for this patch once all the kinks are ironed out and aim assist becomes only available in the war academy or is reduced

There is nothing wrong with aim assist. It is in every single FPS I've ever played and DUST is no different. Have you seen BF3's aim assist?
CoD has aim assist (think it is called target assist though), but I tend to not use it.
Aim assist feels OP because of the fact that we have
1) Been playing without it for months so people have naturally adapted and gotten better.
2) Strafing was nerfed, making it much easier to track people
3) Hit detection with weapons (excluding the SG) have been improved meaning that your bullets actually register which means more shots will hit meaning you will kill people faster.
Add all three of those things together and you will get the OP feeling of the aim assist. |

The aim assist is the same as any other console shooter. Not a problem |

Dust is not CoD or BF. It is a unique game in a space that is unforgiving to the faint of heart. This means no crutches. |

There is to much to enhance it all done imediately and CCP is making a habit of it.
Mass driver splash radius AND damage AND fixing flux splash radius.
Laser damage reduction, AND noise you can hear over a tank rolling over your head.. AND sights on a laser from world war 1.
LAV Health and speed buff, while nerfing Av grenade tracking and registry, Then tweaking the sound on it so you can only hear it when it hit's you.(not to mention doing that..? without actually making the warpoint system work on LAV's? of course people where gonna get points however they could.)
Heavies? they have been changed so much where to start.... confused Dev's much?
Really could go on forever... moderation and "kid gloves" isn't a term that CCP shanghai... i really hope its that and not oversight.
Just be prepared to die a lot to CCP's game mechanic changes not player skill.... which is all we wanted.....
Don't punish the people who play a FPS everyday to better themself's and their skills..... Stop catering to the complacent who think the game should work for their skill level.
Honestly you could give us back Chromosome and it would be way more successful. |
