You know...bump us up a bit...maybe add a extra 2 PG to Gallente scout and assault suits?

Not sure it can be 'about' anything. They only have a week and a half to finish it, so starting work on something new seems untenable if they can't finish something they've been working on for two months. That said, scouts needs some love, but I think that'll be fixed when the role bonus code is finished.

Yeah, I get ya...still...I can hope.

@Shattered Mirage, at the GD it says 1.5 update.

Son of a.....

Thanks Sietz.

wait.... I haven't head anything of 1.5 not being for vehicles anymore; someone mind explaining whats going on?

There was only two 'content' features trimmed from 1.5 and several other smaller minor ones that needed more work. So most of the other features for 1.5 are still in such as Squad Finder and the new tutorials.

Most of the features like adding some new menus, and a tutorial for what I cant see the urgent point of it right now, I might be slow.

So currently it is much more effective in the current environment to focus balance changes for patch releases instead and keep churning away at the back log.

Just stop IWS. This line is greatly insulting to people who have paid attention.

When the userbase was referring to 1.5 as "the vehicle patch" and then vehicle changes get removed, the patch was not "trimmed" it was gutted. The largest portion of the patch got pushed back, and in its place are some slightly useful features, but nothing terribly important(aside from the tutorials maybe making blues less re.tarded).

Oddly enough, you point about when patches get code locked is interesting. Because if I read it correctly, it was code locked BEFORE we had all those teasers dropped about new weapons coming in 1.5. Which makes it a very interesting decision to let someone makes teaser posts about something that CCP knew wasn't going to be in 1.5.

Oh well, same old same old up in this *****.

So are you telling us not expect balancing changes until the next patch release?

Is this info from CCP or are you making an assumption?

I am stating that balancing is a process.

Read
Think
Write
Test
Repeat 1-3 until acceptable
Deploy
Repeat 1-6 until acceptable

This process is never ending either.

Just right now Dust 514 is in an odd place as well with missing dominos.

So not CCP just an educated guess.

Or in other words CCP will release balance changes during patch releases then spend the next 3-6 months of hotfixes/beta testing them.

Thanks

Squad Finder and the new tutorials.

This is all I'm hearing from CCP and now you.

I'm fine with them delaying it as much as it frustrates me I'd rather have a complete product.

What's troubling me is that I'm only hearing about 2,3 things and it sounds like that's all that's going to be in 1.5.
If that's the case then don't even call it 1.5 delay the number and give us Uprising 1.43.

Well they could have easily canceled the whole patch though...

Those are not the only two things that where supposed to be in 1.5, remember 1.5 features were already drafted and decided on nearly two months ago. Finalized around 1.4's release and for reasons stated publically vehicles and guns were cut from 1.5's total feature list.

Given the obvious problems with being able to push content out, maybe they do need to drastically reduce their ambitions.

Obviously they are still dreaming far beyond their abilities as a development house.

If they need to shelve a couple of patches to get things on track they should do it. Don't try and wedge crap into a patch just to get a monthly release out the door.

Scouts are getting second equipment slot at proto and getting cloak as an active equipment. Confirmed by logibro in AOL chat room.

This is a good start and will hopefully go a long way into increasing scout survivability.

Think they can be talked into giving the ADV a 2nd equipment slot as well?

Once the cloak is implemented (please be a scout-only equip), that will be an almost essential equipment for a scout. This means we won't have room to fit any other equipments useful for scouts (uplinks and scanners) below the proto. Even with a cloak, I imagine our death count will still be fairly high which makes running the proto suit.... unappealing.
