Uprising 1.5 Patch Notes:

Release date: 8th October

Localized versions: Coming Soon.

Neocom
* The Neocom is now open by default in all cases where the Mercenary Quarters would previously be the default view. It can still be closed to move around the Mercenary Quarters.
* The third person camera switches to view the active character from the front when the Neocom is open.
* Various relevant tips have been added to the fitting screen panels.
* The GÇ£backGÇ¥ button when editing a fit in the fitting screen has been renamed to GÇ£finishGÇ¥.
* The Skills window correctly gives the default action for not purchased skills as GÇ£purchaseGÇ¥ rather than GÇ£trainGÇ¥.
* Added Squad Finder:
* The Squad Finder allows you to find and join publicly listed squads and squads lead by members of your corporation and/or alliance.
* When you create a squad with the Squad Finder you can enter a short descript

I get WPs for taking out equipment now
OH HELLZ YEA!

New WPs was enough for me. I don't really even need the rest lol.

---

`Sigh. Just another fun game of DUST

no tanks lol

rendering fixed actually is a tank buff, 1 month of redline rail ahead.

Equipment destruction- that includes uplinks, right?

Finally points for counter hacking

Great new war points. Thanks for headshot kills !

Just because pilots get points for transport now doesnt mean blueberries will get out. We need a button to drop everyone out.

* Transport assist - After troops have been transported over 100M from the point where they boarded, the pilot will receive a reward equivalent to 15% of the War Points disembarked passengers earn for one minute.

* Transport assist - After troops have been transported over 100M from the point where they boarded, the pilot will receive a reward equivalent to 15% of the War Points disembarked passengers earn for one minute.

* Counter hacking - rewards a counter hack with 75 War Points.

* Fixed melee exploit that allowed multiple fast melee strikes.

Yes

Full dev blog for new war point rewards coming soon.

Well. Bugfixes are always good. But for me it's the new WPs too. Squad FInder is some nice asset, but not really that necessary.

I wonder if we will now see more Dropships on the field. A pilot can make a good amount of WPs now when he drops a good team.

It will also be interesting to see if the amount of orbitals will increase.

Will scanner points count for vehicle scans?

no tanks lol

No new weapon

This is great!

Even if there isn't a large vehicle overhaul, this is definitely a nice patch of fixes to both infantry and vehicle side!

Now if they could turn down the volume of the headshot sounds... I try not to make headshots because my ears explode if I do.

Poor pilots jobs are now being rewarded.... this can only be a good thing.

You put in work you get "Work Points" (lol) for your efforts.

`Sigh. Just another fun game of DUST

Yeah, and the render fix too.

Nothing to see here. Patch is a complete joke. Proof that CCP can't keep up with monthly updates. 1.6 better be good against the avalanche of PS4 games.

-XOXO

I foresee scan farming.

Well there's a proto-scan variant that'll give you 25 seconds of paint time making your reward window 35 seconds. A lot can happen in that bit of time.

Just because pilots get points for transport now doesnt mean blueberries will get out. We need a button to drop everyone out of the dropship or individually kick people out.

Lol, there's always gotta be one of you people in every thread.

No KB/M fix, no money for you CCP...

Yay no ar fixes their goes the hopes and dreams of scouts and heavies may you forever rest in peace since you have no chance vs ar users

no nova knife fix NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Yay no ar fixes their goes the hopes and dreams of scouts and heavies may you forever rest in peace since you have no chance vs ar users

Rendering fixes. I'll believe it when I see it.

Most scouts don't really care to be able to beat an AR in a head on fight. We just want to be more "Scouty". Besides, I get to make wayyyyyyy more WPs than ever before! So I'm beyond happy right about now.

---

`Sigh. Just another fun game of DUST

Aren't scouts supposed to use their speed to beat people? They're a pain in the ass already because you can't hit them. ANd hint: Don't try to attack an AR user who is looking in your direction by running straight at him. You aren't supposed to beat him that way.

Most scouts do want to be able to beat people 1 on 1 since this game is focused around killing the other guy

Those scouts are either shotgunners or light assaults.
I find more joy in sabotage TBH.

---

`Sigh. Just another fun game of DUST

PLEASE play the game a bit, Scouts have no speed, Logi's and assaults can run faster then us

You didn't update the OB WP numbers, yay now we'll be able to get 5-6 OBs a match

Brilliant planning CCP

5 or 6 OB's wernt hard to get normally, try 8 - 11 now.

Just wanted to take this opportunity to let Nova Knife fans know we have done some refactoring and optimization in 1.5 for the knives that should improve your hit detection a lot.

I'm talking a single squad, in a pub match chief. That's each member getting 2500WPs

Due to pushing back the vehicles and new eapons this seems to be a rather small patch. THe new warpoints are nice though. The tutorials? Well. We'll see. At least better than what we had before.

Hang on to your hope! I believe that when the other two racial AR variants come out, the calle te ion rifle, currently the "Assault Rifle" will see a dramatic decrease in effective range. Currently it fills all roles and is a near perfect jack-of-all-trades but once it no longer has to serve as four rifles in one it'll simply be a close-quarters devestation machine whose damage should drop of after a short range. The longer range rifles might have their own problems but once they all exist they will hopefully be more balanced.

grunt, stfu you camper
i guess being hundreds of feet in the air as a heavy, no one can shoot him, instantly blows up dropships and tanks is SOOOO fair........

Most scouts do want to be able to beat people 1 on 1 since this game is focused around killing the other guy

So CCP, what are you going to do to encourage mercs to ride in a dropship so the pilot can get those points?

Is anyone going to enter dropships as they are?

I like the new war points offered. But I'm bummed out about the lack of changes for the scout or knives. No mention of the knives. I thought knives are getting refactored in 1.5.

So still no info about vehicles?

You didn't update the OB WP numbers, yay now we'll be able to get 5-6 OBs a match

Neocom
* The Neocom is now open by default in all cases where the Mercenary Quarters would previously be the default view. It can still be closed to move around the Mercenary Quarters.
* The third person camera switches to view the active character from the front when the Neocom is open.

You need to fix this nova knife hit detection issue ASAP ,cqc needs to work perfect!
If it does not work perfect people , especially new people assume the game is broken. There was a dev post I remember reading ( not sure by whom) that 1.5 would fix these hit detection issues with the nova knives.

Scouts die from many things easily an we have accepted that an adapted, but dying because we perfectly sneak behind a weak assailant with proficiency rated knives an a minmatar 25% scout damage bonus , charge strike a hacker 3 times an have him turn around an militia assault rifle us to death in .6 seconds an have the kill screen show he was in a militia suit with under 500 total HP is completely an utterly unacceptable.
My knives do 560 damage without even charging them.

This occurance can not continue for any longer it needs to be fixed now. Their is nothing worse about this game than dumping millions of sp into something that has constantly been complained about an always swept under the rug an neglected.

If you can't fix them or don't know how that answer would satisfy us more than making other things more important an neglecting to finish doing what you said would be done for 1.5

We are forced to skill into other weapons an waste points just to survive, when we already have millions of sp in something that is broke, this is sidetrack our skill tree progression and is unacceptable considering we have been extremely patient.
The sg is a perfect example an I have had proficiency 4 shotgun since may an ply started consecutively using it since this past week because the knives get me killed more than anything else nowadays .

An I'm a good sneaky scout, I'm not rushing in face to face, it's the behind kill with no hit detection that's killing all nova knife users at least a few times a game.
Please make this a priority

We're working on getting you guys some information as soon as possible. Hold tight!

HOLDING

1. What happens if the pilot drops someone off that hacks a red objective? Will they receive WP when the hack completes?

2. While better than zero WP players will still wait for the 100 WP hack.

3. Does this also fix the rapid fire mass driver exploit?

I never wait for the hack, because I do not want to give the enemy time to spawn nor do I wish to give the enemy 100 points, ever.......

While I like this feature as I'm constantly opening my Neocom, I've noticed some people disgusted by this feature. Wouldn't it be easier to have an option to turn this feature on / off in the general settings so that those of us who do want to have our neocom open the moment we log in, can. While those of us who want to have their Mercenary Quarters open by default, also can.

It's possible in EVE with the Ship Hanger / Captain Quarters. It should be possible with this... it doesn't even have to launch in 1.5's first patch...

So CCP, what are you going to do to encourage mercs to ride in a dropship so the pilot can get those points?

Is anyone going to enter dropships as they are?

As usual scouts stand only to lose. Now it will be even more impossible to stay stealthy that everyone and their grandmother is gonna start spamming advanced AS.

So CCP, what are you going to do to encourage mercs to ride in a dropship so the pilot can get those points?

Is anyone going to enter dropships as they are?

Disagreed. Scouts need not be concerned about Scanner Spam, provided they are sufficiently dampened.

I second this. My experience is similar: typically it's sneaking up on someone and unleading a charged strike with only one hit landing and second one missing because the target does half a stride to a side - with the miniscule NK hit radius this is enough to evade your strike. Mind you your target does this not to evade you specifically, they don't even know you are right there behid their back, they do it just because they are constantly strafing or swaying while looking the other way.

Please fix: either A) the damage radius and or angle of KN attack (160 degree or so, does not seem too OP to me in this setting) B) Allow charging knives and sprinting (it's ok if it even takes 2 x stamina) C) consider changing turn rate at least on heavies, but ideally on all suits: scouts fastest > mediums > heavy. You can do it even dynamically: normal and same turn speed for all suits up to 90 degree arc (to allow reasonable tracking) but if the player continues to turn, slow it down.

Any scout level 5, dampening 5 and 2 complex dampeners. I wouldn't worry about that scanner though as it only shows you for 5 seconds and has a 30 second cooldown.

no nova knife fix NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

No. As if heavies are not slow enough.

Any scout level 5, dampening 5 and 2 complex dampeners. I wouldn't worry about that scanner though as it only shows you for 5 seconds and has a 30 second cooldown.

And which scout is sufficiently dumpened? I give up - I don't got that 15 dB signature to beat proto AS. I run around lighting up like Xmas tree with 'u've been scanned'. I got level 3 into dumpening, so...

15 points is fine, I believe people are overestimating how many scanned kills your SQUAD will get. Also do not forget that simply tapping an enemy and dealing 1 damage will give you 25 points if that enemy is killed, so it seems more than fair to reward scans 15.

I'm wondering about headshot points? The reward of a faster kill is suffice.

Aren't scouts supposed to use their speed to beat people? They're a pain in the ass already because you can't hit them. ANd hint: Don't try to attack an AR user who is looking in your direction by running straight at him. You aren't supposed to beat him that way.

Where is the Nova Knife fix we were promised in 1.5?

* Transport assist - After troops have been transported over 100M from the point where they boarded, the pilot will receive a reward equivalent to 15% of the War Points disembarked passengers earn for one minute.

im so going to farm WP for using a active scanner on my logi LAV and using drop uplinks.

wheres the proto forge gun tower camping nerf?

They should give war points for who you kill 5% for one tier up (militia killing standard) 10% two tiers up (militia killing advanced) 15% three tiers up (militia killing prototype). This might help fix proto stomping a little bit it also favors skill over having a decked out dropsuit.

I like this idea.. but how would you even it out? By dropsuit or by weapons / equipment?

It's balance. Some things gotta give. I am not seeing ppl give good ideas as to how to fix broken things in the game. Very strange: ppl only care that their specific fit, suit, weapon is taken care of and don't care about the big picture. This logic lead to everyone running in assault suit with Duvolle. No diversity, period. CAP ATTACK: THERE ARE NO SCOUTS LEFT IN THE GAME because they lose in each and every situations - even those where they were supposed to have a healthy advantage: sneaking and CQC.

+1

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I am disappoint.

I hope it was just missed from the patch notes instead of missed from the patch.

I'm sorry but the WP for passengers (though excellent for my squad) will not encourage me to help transport my team.
If I drop an LAV and give a guy a lift they will still not get out and steal my ride later only to get it destroyed one way or another
and my DS's will still be rarely used as they think its an offensive vehicle and keep gunning.

These will only work with the option to remove turrets, lock to the driver seat and give us a deployment option to 'encourage' them to leave

Neocom
* The Neocom is now open by default in all cases where the Mercenary Quarters would previously be the default view. It can still be closed to move around the Mercenary Quarters.
* The third person camera switches to view the active character from the front when the Neocom is open.
* Various relevant tips have been added to the fitting screen panels.
* The GÇ£backGÇ¥ button when editing a fit in the fitting screen has been renamed to GÇ£finishGÇ¥.
* The Skills window correctly gives the default action for not purchased skills as GÇ£purchaseGÇ¥ rather than GÇ£trainGÇ¥.
* Added Squad Finder:
* The Squad Finder allows you to find and join publicly listed squads and squads lead by members of your corporation and/or alliance.
* When you create a squad with the Squad Finder you can enter a short description and choose whether the squad should be private, public or only available to corporation and/or alliance members. You can change the squad's settings afterwards as well.
* Each squad listing includes a latency indicator which shows you your own latency to the squad leader's region.

New Player Experience
* Initial tutorials have been completely revised, now following a task-driven structure that rewards players for demonstrating proficiency in joining battles, creating fittings and training skills. These tasks are not mandatory, but represent common tasks that all players will want to complete anyway. Rewards take the form of militia dropsuits, vehicles, weapons and modules.

Gameplay
* New War Points rewards have been added:
* Intel Assist - rewards the scanner 15 War Points if their squad members kill scanned enemies, 25 War Points for vehicles or installations. Scanning War Points will still be received up to 10 seconds after a scan has ended if the target was damaged whilst scanned.
* Equipment destruction - rewards the destruction of enemy equipment with 5 War Points.
* Transport assist - After troops have been transported over 100M from the point where they boarded, the pilot will receive a reward equivalent to 15% of the War Points disembarked passengers earn for one minute.
* Headshot Kill - 60 War Points.
* Counter hacking - rewards a counter hack with 75 War Points.
* Updated War Point reward message UI.

Corporations
* Corporation CEOs and directors can now hand out roles to other members in their corporation.
* The following roles can be granted (in addition to the director role):
* Accountant: Responsible for a corporation's wallet. Accountants have the ability to transfer ISK from the corporation's mercenary wallet as well as monitor the corporation's wallet transactions.
* Personnel Director: Charged with growing a corporation's membership. A personnel director has the ability to accept applications to the corporation from other mercenaries.
* Terrestrial Combat Officer: Charged with organizing a corporation's ground fighting forces. Terrestrial combat officers can join all planetary conquest conflicts bringing members of their squad into the battle with them. The mercenaries in the squad being brought into the battle do not need to be members of the terrestrial combat officer's corporation.
* Terrestrial Logistics Officer: Responsible for managing a corporation's terrestrial operations and logistics. This includes managing district reinforcement windows, district surface infrastructures, moving and selling clones.

Bug fixes and polish
* Network library has been optimized for better network performance.
* Improved server-client performance.
* Rendering fixes.
* Fixed melee exploit that allowed multiple fast melee strikes.
* Fixed issue with drop uplinks that (sometimes) prevents valid drop uplinks from being displayed.
* Fixed RDV navigation issues around sockets in almost all situations.

Last night I flew with a fella named Sir Snugglz; all he did was drop us off, we ran in, hacked, ran out and away we went.
He never got out of his Assault DS, never tried for kills, but gave us cover when he could.

Our squad was usually in the top 5, and he was often in top slot. My own WP was crazy good, and kill count was quite low. In fact, I think I went negative a couple of times. Yet is surely didn't feel that way! Snugglz absolutely should have had many, many more WP than he received.

Though, yeah, the ride 'jacking has got to be stopped somehow. I don't use a mobile CRU, and mostly only pick out my "free ride" car so I don't stress when it is stolen, excuse me, donated, to yet another blueberry.

He tried to destroy my tank with that silly derpship of his. He's lucky I didn't have my Wiyrkomi breach fit at the time, I'd've completely knocked him out of the sky.

These shouldn't be called 1.5 it is a bare improvement, I wonder what CCP was doing all this time instead of introducing new weapons/vehicles, balancing vehicles and AV, this is just a shame of update but I am glad there are better things to do maybe by 5.0 we will get a decent update and not a pseudo improvement.

So basically you are saying it's any scout who sacrificed all their low slots. Well, that's easy - that's truly "any" scout.

So you know, sacrificing any other moduel that would be useful and help us survive just so we're viable, SOUNDS BALANCED!

With the squad finder tool, will we get any indicator of whether a squad is in a match or not? I could see that being an issue. Still it sounds great.

mm-hm. Maybe. Maybe you would have gotten points for killing all of us, then too! And maybe my beard is made of spinach so I never go hungry!

All of these things did not happen

I foresee scan farming.

Does this apply to war barge strike use? A pilot could theoretically carry multiple multiple squad commanders--then ferry them a given distance before drop-off, then collect points from a joint strike effort. Additionally, do orbitals count toward WPs earned for enemy equipment destroyed in the hellfire?

Gallente proto scout has 4 low slots but that's the only one.

I made no comment about balance.


Some advice to both of you - ignore the 16dB scanner, nobody uses it. You shouldn't really worry about proto scanners in pub matches, just aim to beat the advanced scanners if you're that concerned(most people use standard level scanners in pubs anyway). Even in PC matches the 16dB scanner isn't used more than once as the cooldown sucks. Aim to beat the 28dB scanners in a PC(some players still only use advanced scanners in PC).

Here's some info that both of you should find useful.

* Transport assist - After troops have been transported over 100M from the point where they boarded, the pilot will receive a reward equivalent to 15% of the War Points disembarked passengers earn for one minute..

Now if they could turn down the volume of the headshot sounds... I try not to make headshots because my ears explode if I do.

They coulda at least add WP for the pilots for spawns on their dropship CRU's.

I think the transport assist should be increased to either 25% for one minute or 15% for 90 secs. To give a little more incentive for drivers and pilots.

Is this something that can be easily tweaked in the coding of a hotfix if needed?

Once more, perhaps CCP should keep these things to themselves until release.

It's amazing how much people demand a FTP game gets fixed in a month.

Amazing.

Rage over no new stuff, even though we know for like 1-2 weeks that they were pushed back for quality control purposes.

At least there's some nice fixes, and better rendering.

Sigh. CCP, just don't tell us this stuff until release. Then maybe people will appreciate what you guys are doing to fix DUST.

Anyway, high-five guys, a Nanohive for Logibro, and a honeyed lamb for Wolfman.

Looks good.
New WP system is going to generate a lot of OB QQ.

I'm guessing the mouse settings got pushed back as CCP Wolfman s busy with vehicles and weapons? I'm ok with that. The vehicle bros need a break.

Disagreed. Scouts need not be concerned about Scanner Spam, provided they are sufficiently dampened.

Scan farming = lots of pretty lights = great distraction from the scouts that can go below the scanner = tiny scout boost

If CCP would only remove the "scan error" message...

Are you that daft that you can't turn your own game volume down?

CCP, is there going to be any information covering scouts and knives?

A blue tag speaking about Scouts? Only seen that happen twice and both turned out to be empty promises that have yet to materialize. There are good threads that exist that show scientific fact that scouts need some love but do we ever get a blue tag commenting or showing the least bit of concern? Hell no we don't! I have come to the conclusion that we are the red headed stepchildren of this game. Of which I am caring less and less about. Soon will come the day when I will no longer give a **** about this game.

I've seen a few quotes by CCP stating that some work has been done to nova knives and that it's included in 1.5(they don't say exactly what though).

Edit: it was mentioned on page 4 of this thread.

Good scanners cost a lot of isk and SP to skill into, plus they are CPU and PG hogs.

It'll just be that much more satisfying to kill that medium as he reads the 'some margin of error' message at the top of his screen. I hope everyone runs them.

In 1.6 there are further improvements to hit detection as well as some specific improvements for the shotgun and the Nova Knives.

Unfortunately the Nova Knife fixes also got pushed back from 1.5

CCP Logibro, you should see if we can get some tutorial resets for our main characters so we don't have to make a fraudulent account solely to see the new tutorials and provide feedback

Your presumption is wrong scouts are not supposed to have a healthy advantage at cqc that is a play style that has been introduced from other games, people said oh wow I can move fast equip a shotty and I'm good, problem is scouts are made to SCOUT which means go look around, scan, and hack, anything you do otherwise including nk, sub, shotty and attempting to take on the classes that are designed to kill, assault and heavy well thats on you, let me reiterate, scouts are fine for their intended purpose, like being the first to the objective, but they are not frontline assault troops. My advice is use it the way it was intended and you will be happier. Run to the objective hack scan and then change into a suit meant for frontline combat, scouts are just supportive but everyone wants to be a killer.....

i got three things to say 1 is a statement and 2 are tips

1st: 1.5 is simply not enough to get me back into dust simple as that, maybe 1.6 or i hope till 2.0 they introduce all racial variants of suits and weapons and vehicles they promised and the most important to me 24v24 players.

2nd: please contact plyphony you know the studio responsible for Gran Turismo 5 and 6 and get pro tips about how to squize all you can from PS3 graphics and processing power physics etc... you know things like "Adaptive tessellation" are possible on this machine despite the fact it has nearly 8 years...

http://www.gamesradar.com/why-gt6-will-be-ps3s-technical-swansong/


3rd: please contact Naughty Dog company about more tips considering how to get most of the PS3 graphics and processing power in games everyone saw Last of Us and what PS3 is capable of....

please do not be hesisant of those, just contact and please for help...

ps. sorry for bad english not a native speaker
HAVE A NICE DAY!

One thing to keep in mind is the more low level optimizations and hacking CCP does to get DUST to perform well on the PS3, the harder it will be to port the code to other platforms.

one other thing if dust will perform very good on initial platform,read "PS3", they will have more resources, man power, and support from CCP so the porting part is irrelevant IMO

I think it depends on when they plan to make a release on other platforms. They may be developing a PS4 version in tandem with the PS3 version, in which case it would make sense to share as much of the code base as possible between the two.

simply no
architecture of PS3 and PS4 are completly diffrent i'm pretty sure they can't make the code that will work on both, based after reading opinions of game developers and some other source material about the two.
i even doubt they can use any assets from PS3 version for PS4

I'd be interested to read up on this if you have any links. I realize the architecture is different, but if the game engine supports both platforms, then much of the code should be reusable. Low level optimizations won't be however.

You can just delete the Dust save file on the XMB of the ps3.

Fiddling with files and making fraudulent accounts is probably the last thing I want to do when it comes to Dust 514. Think I'll just delete a character and miss the SP I gathered on them.

about the PS3 specs you can easly wiki them for PS 4 aswell, about the developers you can find some of things i've mentioned on gamasutra site for instance

http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/191007/inside_the_playstation_4_with_mark_.php?print=1

architecture and code diffrence for PS3 and PS4 is so significant, the main CPU unit for PS 3 comes to mind
They chose the six-headed cell and from what i know they made a custom made design not because it made technological sense, but because it would make porting FROM the Playstation 3 very, very hard.
don't have more links ATM you need to try and ask uncle google yourself bro.
have a nice day!

window is still 25 if targets aren't damaged.

This brings up the question... does the target(s) have to be damaged by a squad member in order to get the extra 10 second window of opportunity?

`Sigh. Just another fun game of DUST
