So as per devs forum posts and IRC the vehicle rebalance and new rifles have been pushed back all the way to 1.7. This leads to the question, what exactly are we getting in 1.6?

Perhaps FW changes by team grit. Discuss :P

Too bad you probably won't see the CPM advocating for us on this issue. They are too busy white knighting for the forum whiners and pushing their personal agenda to have the price of boosters lowered.

As long as all weapons and vehicles are removed from DUST, I don't care.
This game needs more agriculture and exploration. I'm tired of shooting at buildings. When do we get to actually sit in them and relax?

Wow... Something terrible must have happened with the code or something. I really want to see CCP Wolfman's blog (due today I believe) about just what the hell is happening behind the scenes.

It's important for us not to panic and be understanding here guys. I'm sure CCP is doing everything they can.

Links please, saying "forum posts" and "IRC" does not lend you credibility, provide an actual link or a excerpt from chat and I'll believe you.

Done already, look up a few posts.

We are so still in Beta

See my edit.

We are so still in Beta

Forums too slow, we've just have to accept our posts for what they are :P

yep, not that I care much, but yes this is definitely a beta lol

LOL - I love how CCP said that we will have monthly updates and what it ends up being is mostly bug fixes and minor features which would probably have just been added during various downtimes otherwise. Its more of a 3 month cycle with a bunch of glitter thrown in between to appease the masses.

Its awesome that this news comes out just as GTAO and BF4 BETA go online. Customer Retention going exactly as planned.

No vehicle/weapon balance in 1.5 and now not in 1.6.

If anything this really goes to show the value of CCP's claims. If something as critical as "rebalancing" takes several months to implement, I'm wondering how long something like PvE or a new game mode will take. Years? Is anyone still going to be around then?

This whole monthly patch process is actually turning out to be a detriment to the players because it seems like patches are getting smaller and smaller with little to no actual content. Everything is just fixes. Fixes, tweaks, more fixes, more bugs appear which need more fixes, then more tweaks and some more fixes and then those fixes in turn break 10 other things. This project is turning into a disaster

five or so guys sitting in a room saying, "what would happen if...GǪ"

It's important to remember that CCP stated that they would -try- to get these features out by those times. I'm pretty sure they don't want another account of Tactical Assault Rifles, Flaylocks and Murder Taxi's so they're going to work out all of those kinks from the get go.

As far as rebalance taking years, bear in mind that CCP Iceland has spent the past -two years- working on re-balancing every single ship in the game as well as a few terrible mechanics we've had to deal with for far longer and they're still not done.

It requires patience and honestly, waiting six months or however long is a small price to pay for something to work flawlessly upon implementation which is something CCP Iceland has seemed to master as of recently (props to CCP Fozzie for that). It's just going to take time.

This is what you grt ehen you hand development over to China. A communist country that pushes its population down into group think, hive mind mentality.

actually they're having public holidays over there, first it was the mid-autumn festival which was like a 3-5 day holiday, then followed a week later by national day which was like 7-10 days holiday.

work wont be as fast as it should be when china has over 120 public holidays a year

Im sorry but i can see this being the last straw for alot of people, really disapointing.

MAJOR ISSUES

Fix the bloody PC lag, its attrocious. I mean for your 'End game' content having nothing but lag fest matches which are basically won or lost on the back of it is pathetic. You need to fix this or the guys who have put the hours in are gonna leave.

Fix tanks now. These guys have had the rough end of the stick for well over 50% of the time since DUST went live. Tankers are dropping left and right, surely the stats will show that fix it, or lose a decnt proportion of your player base.

Bring out the side arms at least. Lets face it, those of us who have been maxing weapons out have done, and need another objective to spec into, it really is getting stale.

Actually try and fix the match making.

OMEGA Boosters to be reduced. We have seen the post its more cost effective running the normal ones, at least bring it inline. 65K AUR is a joke for a monthly consumable.

**** squad finder if im honest, the dungeon finder is what killed WoW, by taking all interaction with other players out. I mean who even thought that was an imperitive option?!? You should just give them a daily update on all Corp progress or something, let them pick their selves. Otherwise its all going to be automated and people wont talk to each other so whats the point? I mean its not going to take into consideration peoples race and faction choices isit? So its gonna lump me with caldari scum 9/10. Great.

I relaise you lot have 20 'working days' in between patches but its crunch time, you have GTA V going online tonight, you have FF14 Beta, the BF4 beta hitting up these are all BIG hitters.. If you dont push something out or a bunch of small fixes then expect to lose another 50% of your player base. I honestly wish i was joking.

I'd imagine the CPM is trying to get the boosters removed completely.

That's not really a problem imo, the real problem is : how many guys are working on Dust 514 right now? Whatever the answer is , they're probably way too few.

No, they are advocating a price reduction across the board.

See here.

And here.

And my response here.

And here.

Just because they want the prices reduced doesn't mean they agree with them =P

FF14 released last month, my trial period is about to run out and I don't think I'll end up subscribing to it. It can be fun sure but I just don't have the time to play it, and if I'm not playing it I see no point in paying for it, dust has an advantage in that regard, however much we play other games instead of this one we can jump back in at any time and start playing again, for no cost. While I expect GTAO to be fun I imagine it might not stay fun forever, we'll see though. As for BF4 I expect it will be the same experience as BF3 for me, it'll catch my attention for a couple of months but I will slowly and steadily grow bored of it.

Obviously, if they are advocating a price reduction, they agree that the prices are too high. Regardless of that, my focus is on the fact that the price of boosters is really a trivial community concern compared to the mountain of other concerns which are being completely ignored by the CPM.

The CPM seem to have disregarded the community in all areas except where their own priorities intersect, such as the price of Boosters. This is not how community representatives are supposed to conduct themselves.

They need to leave their personal agendas at the door, when they step into their official capacity as our representatives.

1.7? ******* really?

Thats 2 more bloody dwelling months. Put the game back in beta please.

thanks bye **** off

yes I am angry

I hope we get some new maps for 1.6 and a new public game mode if possible.

This is why I haven't spent any money on this game in 6 months. Fix the heavy and HMG and you can have my financial support.

[CCP]Logibro I believe they're also pushed back.
[CCP]Logibro :(

link or didn't happen

tbh i didn't really care much for the vehicle rebalancing or the new weapons.

but hearing that true grit is currently working on making FW interesting and worth doing is what peaks my interests.

- Fixing squad formation
- map glitches
- other glitches and bugs
- hopefully noob mode spray and pray fix
- PC lagfest
- Mike tyson
