Think it might be time for CCP to hire Bioware's Public Relations guy.

You've been here how long?

This is standard procedure.

Hide yo kids a rage-nado is about to hit the dust forums.

... You guys need to either get your **** together or stop raising our hopes only to have them crushed. -_- We want news, but we want news of what we are actually going to get in each update. Your slogan should be "CCP: Breaking all of your hopes and dreams to bits since May 2013."

So a broken promise (1.5) for a broken promise (1.6) and soon a broken promise of that promise (1.7). Hey CCP. November

And...?

I rather have CCP getting it done right the first time than having to put fixes continuously throughout the updates.

Deal with it.

Called it, over a month ago. How does anyone maintain faith in CCP at this point?

don't kid yourself. Something would still be wrong with it if they spent a year on it. XD

you can tell me with a straight face that you want content that isn't ready after what we went through when 1.4 came out? chill out and enjoy the ride. EVE wasn't built in a day...

November update will be mustacheS!

im gonna go sacrifice some more lambs

So in 1.2 they released the information of 1.5 being a vehicle re-balance patch. Said woops my bad, it got to be 1.6. Now that 1.5 is right around the corner CCP said just kidding! its gotta wait for 1.7. Now their ploting who to hire to tell us its going to be back in 1.8.

I deleted my post. I realized I was doing what I accused you of. My bad.

That's true.
However it'll still be a ton better than spending a month on it.

--Edit--

Keep in mind that there has to be a balance between vehicles and infantry.

A tank shouldn't be able to go 50/0 and infantry shouldn't be too strong either.

But why should tanks be balanced such that if the enemy IN A MEANINGLESS PUB MATCH has no better than STD AV, the tank should still be weak to the one or 2 people that bother to take it out? If there's another tank or Logi LAV supporting it, it should not go down at all, and not even have to run away from the fight to rep, because it would be getting remote reps from other vehicles.

I'd still like a dev blog about the proposed design work and the issues that cropped up that are causing the delay. Some information about the challenges would go a long way to defusing the coming hate.

If we are realistically looking at next year it would be a nice gesture to offer a respec of vehicle skills so the dedicated pilots can have some fun in the meantime. I took the last available respec to get out of dropships and it has saved my sanity and my wallet.

its whatever, just give up bro. We wont be here by the end of christmas anyway

you call of duty and bf fansbois wont be here, but true dusties will be, then real balance will arrive.

They can't even throw us this bone.

CPM has been stressing the importance of getting this information published as soon as possible to the CCP community team and we are being heard on this subject. The Community team is doing almost everything they can to get it out early as possible and working with the involved developers on the subject on various aspects including or possibly bypassing additional messaging, blog decisions, translations and scheduling and the sorts that normally causes delays on information from NDA known to public known.

There will be an update to the CPM on the matter tomorrow or something better (from my point of view in Central US time zone).

The community team has been helpful explaining the hold ups and listening to the CPM reasoning as to there is a need to not 'schedule' this information as its really not a 'commercial' (cpm's term) but more later on.

So if something really good happens thank the Community team.

Also 1.6 was NEVER promised to be a vehicle patch. I know you guys are frustrated and all but going around and labeling patch 1.5 is this but now its the NPE patch or labeling 1.6 as a vehicle patch before the patch notes lands (or even the theme of 1.6 is well known) for that patch is going. Development happens, and developers typically don't promise anything. Warframe is still waiting on a grappling hook they showed working months (+6 now) ago and they're still running into problems with it like zipping to xyz 000. I know its easy to get excited over new features as soon as they're somewhat made public but to buy into the point that it is thought to be a promise is only going to hurt your expectations when development does happen.

For once I can be happy about a part of your post. Thanks for continuing to try and share information.

However on the second part, no. 1.5 was very directly stated to be the focus for a vehicle rebalance. Then they announced that was being pushed back. It isn't an assumption to think that it will come in 1.6 when it was originally slated to be in 1.5.

This is just a hilarious continuing example of CCP's inability to come up with quality content filled updates in a timely fashion.

So in 1.2 they released the information of 1.5 being a vehicle re-balance patch. Said woops my bad, it got to be 1.6. Now that 1.5 is right around the corner CCP said just kidding! its gotta wait for 1.7. Now their ploting who to hire to tell us its going to be back in 1.8.

CPM gets access to quite a bit of data we have a rough outline of things going from the meeting table, to early concepts, to planning, to development, to testing, to deployment. The process is no where near 30 days as some of you guys think.

I'll be frank, it the decision to take it out of 1.5 was beyond CCP's control, deploying it as was would have made the game unplayable. More technical than ethical reasons if you will and resolution of it didn't seem feasible enough for 1.6.

How about +50% hp for DS and tanks (by setting a base resist of 33%) AND increase shield booster by a factor of 3. <- HOTFIX in 1.5, change numbers and fine

You sound like a Teenage kid trying to explain why they are getting an F in a class.

"Yeah but all the other kids got an F as well, its not me its the teacher."

Do us and yourself a favor, just go away.

Step down from you high and mighty CPM horse and let someone who has a pair step in.
Your cheer leading BS is getting real old.

hehehe

I think IWS should just report - leave the defending and rationalizing to CCP themselves.

Hey guys, don't forget that developing Dust is comparable to landing a man on the moon. You have to be patient!
