Sorry to question this, but it's been two years now. I mean, two freaking years since the closed beta, they still do "core fixing"? This game was released a half a year ago and they are still "fixing the core"? I'm sorry if I don't understand something here, but what is it that I don't understand?

And I swear to god, don't ******* answer me with "be course it's free".
CCP got a leap of faith from us, and some money, but now it feels like the are toying and they abuse our belief and credit that we gave them.

Maybe it's just me, maybe I'm alone with this mindset?

Don't be so ignorant. Of course what he said isn't a roadmap. The core is constantly being worked on. And yes there is much progress.

Have you been honestly keeping up with the scoreboard?

Or are you just ranting to be ranting?

I'll go with the latter....

The game never had a 1 year plan. It has a 10 year plan...stop crying so hard...

So the balancing of weapons and suits that are available wasnt doing any thing?

New maps

Game mechanics

balancing of matchmaking.

Visual updates.

remember that they are also woring on expanding this as an MMO not just a FPS.

And the team working behind everything is a lot smaller than most big companies throw at a project.

But you have your opinion and Im sure that no matter what anyone else says it will not change.


Good for you for having one though.

Seems to me that CCP has recognised that the game has become unbalanced and various roles aren't actually fulfilling their role and desired effectiveness as intended from the changes they made throughout the beta. Because they have recognised that there is a problem, they have started a development cycle in which they have set out to fix these "core" issues.

Once these core issues have been rectified, i assume regular content development will resume. Does that make sense?

Yes it do makes sense, of courses. But how many people are working on dust right now, five?
And what are they trying to balance here? a couple of weapons and a hand full of vehicles?
What the hell will happen if they add new stuff, do they have to rebalanced all this **** again?
Why now just trow the stuff they have in and look how people adopt it, how they use it and balance the overall, nut just little tiny peaces and balance everything again once it is released. How long does this balance **** have to continue?
I know that MMOs are always at the balancing state, but hell! Since this game was launched, all we see and hear is balance here, balance there, and we are delaying the balance, here have a squad finder!

CCP action: *Making Dust514 supercasual and niche in 5..4..3..2..1..* Months?

Come on I tough we all had come to terms with CCP don't really knowing the fu** they're doing, but just look at history so far, the CCP history.. it's like Eve and that other game they have in development, so chill out a bit cuz reality is they might dont have a clue about but they are somewhat learning and have an agenda, and anyone in there is human until proven otherwise.

Their agenda is clear, just check the post from some devs, and it's clearer by the adjustments in game direction. (look at the first sentence of this post again)

They don't mind wasting time nor loosing players (look at those numbers.. passing fast &goingggg downnnnn); then the only real question as a consumer of their product is: how much time are you willing to spend in this game, how much are you willing to endure? (well.. 2 questions hehe) Cuz they surely donGÇÖt give a duck and are minding their own business.

In CCPGÇÖs words: GÇ¥HTFU or GTFOGÇ¥
Just keep the hopes high, the feedback ready, and suffer whit the rest of us.. I mean bear.

And if in the end Dust was only a big advertising campaign for Eve then so be it, I'm enjoying it.





Although to be fair with us, CCP.
how many people are in team Shanghai? how many areas there are and how many people in each?
how many hours does everybody work per week?

only asking cuz there's definitely something stupid going on..

It would be worth it imo if they threw all the suits weapons and vehicles into the game right now and worked on fixing it with live feedback from the community. Broken **** is fun.

I mean who cares if the Amarr tanks can drive through walls right now or that the rail rilfe causes dropships to freeze in place? Who cares if when the Caldari Scout runs it looks like it is sitting in an invisible LAV? Awesome.

Give it!

That's not a roadmap. What does fi the core mean we've been fixing the core for a year and a half of no progress.(...)

but the core is having placeholders for everything can be balanced. Not balancining wrk that will be worth nothing in 2 years when they finally get around to it then and everything is unbalanced again. Just due to the intrduction of 3 more heavy suits for instance... why so many passes to heavy balance why not just have 4 heavy suits now?

If I might refer you to this!

We are nearly 80% of the way (or will be by .6) and we will still have 4-5 months to go.

The link is not working for me.

It will help if CCP keeps us inform of what problems they having "exactly", it may help us to be more understanding.

Sorry on tablet is the fan fest presentation explaing the short term and long term plans for dust.
(Yes I know, the guy got fired, but it doesn't change the fact that most of the goals in the near future section, have been achieved since moving to monthly updates)

Use the SHARE link that you tube give you.

I really hope this game isn't going to go nowhere when it could be so much. rebalancing the same things over and over again without even consider the future effect of all skills, *training times* all weapons *balance between races, making lasers the only ammo less weapons, ect* All dropsuits *give us a place to put skill points into the Ammar Heavy Thukker Suit. And the Caldari model.

Ugh I'll get bored with Dust before they hit the good stuff content wise.... stuff that should have been the game from the get go.

Jup this is the universal link pointing at the video.
An with time should I look at ?

This is the order or operations/priorities i'd like to see, with a bulletpoint of rationale for each one.

1. Primary Priorities
1. Core Shooter Mechanics. Poor mechanics drive fps players away from DUST very quickly. Better now but more to do.
2. New Player Experience. DUST needs a quality hands-on tutorial. What kills noobs most is lack of knowledge, not sp or tiers.


2. Secondary Priorities
1. Corp and Squad tools. CCP can write content or let players write content. Corp/squad tools allow the latter and are central to the gameplay.
2. Voice Comms with HUD integration. Full hierarchical voice comms supported by seamless HUD integration. Also core to the gameplay.
3. Vehicle/weapon lineup & balance. Avoid doing this with a larger, newer playerbase - it would be respec hell and creates a bad impression.


3. Tertiary Priorities
1. Skirmish 1.0-style maps. Maps and modes must tell an engaging story - arbitrary-feeling generic fps gameplay will cripple DUST.
2. Begin connecting EVE/DUST. information-only to start. Finalize BPOs/allow DUST market prices to float with EVE's market. Iterate on starmaps to show players dynamic real-time battle activity in both games in a visually jaw-dropping starmap. It succeeds if it fires our romantic imagination.

I do have one question for devs/GM/CPM-type peeps - this current development arc is meant to address core mechanics and the NPE, i believe. What is the expected lifetime of this arc? With the CPM charter and the new stakeholder status of the CPM we players need to know what topics to focus on in forum discussion if we are going to provide topical and timely input for the devs and CPM.

Passive SP gain guarantee you'll be back from your "boredom leave" when you get the news of improvement You've invested too much in this game to simply leave it behind... And will not delete your main... Just like most of us...

That evil plan of passive SP gain... Briliant, CCP...
