Most of my friends finally caved once i begged them to comeback, but even better with all of them saying aiming and shooting feels so much better they all (the 8 friends of mine) bought Mercenary Packs to support the game! Thank you CCP for the massive improvement in 1.4. Please hotfix the squad matchmaking system though, that almost buzz kill everything for us.
This is why i harped on core mechanics and not content. The same thing you've seen with your buds will also happen with new players.
AA needs to be ironed out. The kb/mouse still needs love(coming in 1.5). Matchmaking may be alright as is - it's doing pretty good considering the small number of concurrent users.
Murder taxis are nothing but a bad dream now - but i still treat lavs with murderous aggression, and will for the next year - their sins have not been paid for yet.
AFK is not dead, CCP needs to revisit their implementation. Haven't seen many AFKers recently tho, tbh.
The core aim mechanics for DS3 are much improved and we don't have to fight the controls anymore, even without AA on.
Hit detection now works.
There were other good improvements but these were the ones that were driving players away.
Our numbers will start to climb now. There are still some core issues that still must be addressed asap - terrain interaction, scanning mechanics, vehicles, and more.
But we're coming to the time where we, players and devs, can afford to start thinking about content.
Personally, it feels to me like a high fever has broken, and now we're recovering and have to put back on the weight we lost to the disease.

If only CCP would do proper advertising, (perhaps online) to attract new people instead of having mercs beg their friends. I don't think that TV spot ad from Fanfest 2013 ever aired. Perhaps they are waiting until the game is at a more presentable state.
I honestly think it's too early still. Whoever made the call to stop marketing dead in their track deserves a fuckink medal.
We need to go through the hell(hell on the forums, at the very least) that will be the vehicle/AV rebalance.
CCP also needs to fill out the squad and comms tools a bit more, imo. I think some of this will be part of 1.5
This might be unrealistic depending on where CCP is at, but i would like to see the entire suite of racial suits and weapons released and go through the requisite fixing/balancing pitfight before advertising the game. Wave after wave of respec petitions and demands for AUR reimbursements will be in our future if we do this in the wrong order, and that looks very bad in the press.
KB/M still needs that 1.5 luuuvin' - get it right Wolfie. No pressure. And aim assist needs some stickiness removed.
But most importantly - are you listening, CCP? - A high quality, first rate, AAA(sound familiar?), hands on walkthrough/tutorial/weapons range needs to be in place for new players. It needs to wow the kittenpoo out of them AND the press AND the vets. Capiche, CCP? Apply the same production values to it that you applied the those kittendamned videos you made that sucked us all into this game.
