* 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.

Its funny because when they made walking in quarters default in EVE the players revolted.

Now that they want to do the opposite in DUST there is already some DUST bunnies getting upset.

Just hit O and start walking. Who really cares? The rest of the info was pure gold. It wasn't vehicle stuff like some of us thought, but it was good stuff we really needed.

Once again players do not understand how coding works. Working on something does not take away from something else, features are worked on in teams. Each team is dedicated to work on that particular feature and figure out ways to make it implement with current systems. If you have too many people working on one feature or a team that is much too large the feature suffers more than not having enough people. Management decides what features go in and what features get cut. But once teams are decided on, one feature does not detract from another.

Could not sound any more like a generic hater response. Taking something completely unrelated, and spinning it into a "CCP sucks, wah".

So CCP doesn't care about the community's conplaints, alright.

We complained about dropships not having a real way to make WP besides assists and now they're giving WP for troop transports

We complained about lack of WP for counterhacking and now they're adding WP for it

We complained about swarm rendering issues with vehicles and now they're looking into fixing it ( https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1339653#post1339653 )

We complained about lag and now they optimized for better network performance in 1.5

We complained about melee glitch and now its fixed in 1.5

I could go on, but I think you get the point. Basically the whole "poor us, CCP doesn't listen to us" crap is total BS, in fact they don't even have to listen to us, but they do. Just because you don't get everything you want when you want it doesn't mean the devs aren't trying.

You're changing the subject, your original post was about wanting it removed (Kill this before it reaches 1.5), and not about CCP having the wrong priorities; removing it wouldn't magically cause more important features to materialize into the patch.

Furthermore, there is ALWAYS a feature that everyone thinks isn't a priority that always makes it into patches, but we'd be without a lot of cool "unnecessary" features if only the important things made it in the game; if importance always took priority, then we wouldn't even have a merc quarters or war barge, just some text menus and lobbies.

The core mechanics isn't in some terrible dire state that everything else must be sacrificed so that it can be fixed. Its no perfect, but it works.

I actually like this new feature, first thing I (and most people) do is open the Neocom anyway. I also like that my character from the front will be the first thing I see since the Neocom open makes the camera face the front of the character. I also really really ******* love the variety of skyboxes we have, which a lot of people have complained about because of that "priorities" argument.

Removing the feature won't make better UI features magically appear. We're not getting those man hours back, so your suggestion to kill this feature doesn't solve what you claim to be your problem.

Now about the preference, I can see how it can be a tiny miniscule inconvenience to press O if you're not one of those people who automatically open the Neocom, but its not nearly a big enough change to warrant such a strong response.

Also, do you really no just automatically open the Neocom automatically anyway most of the time? What exactly do you do n the Neocom at first most of the time?
