The level of incompetence that CCP is beginning to show on Dust is downright depressing. I can't say that I give even one care about re-balancing of tanks because I, as a proto forge user with prof 5, see plenty of tanks that are nigh impossible to kill(Armor tanks of course).
The fact is that Dust is sitting in development hell. CCP continues to "enhance" the game with small changes while they ask us to wait for big things. CCP wastes manpower and development time on things like a squad finder when this job has been filled just fine by player corporations and chat channels. Corporation roles, while appreciated by a VERY TINY amount of the population(Read: corporation leadership), adds nothing of real value to the game as a whole. In fact, because of CCP's absolute deafness to the playerbase, problems with the roles have already been pointed out. Problems that could have been avoided had CCP showed even a passing amount of respect for the people they were designing the tools for.
Dust needs content. Recent Eve balancing attempts have been, arguably, a rousing success because balance is being reached in relation to the rest of the content Eve has. Rocks, scissors, and paper all exist in Eve online so balance is a (nearly) achievable goal. That is simply not the case in Dust 514. Instead of committing to FINISHING their game and vision. We have hamfisted developers blindly flailing at game mechanics and "balance".
Consider the content we have been given in relation to what has been left unfinished. Heavy suits have only a single race and no matching racial weapon. What has CCP done about this. They have made Assault Dropships, Flaylock Pistols, Scramble rifles, and scanners(I actually love those). Development on Dust 514 lacks focus. It's like loosing an ADHD child into a room full of Legos and expecting them to build the Notre Dame Cathedral. CCP is here... then they are there... then they are nowhere.
I love Dust 514. I bought a PS3 for Dust. It saddens me to see CCP show such a stunning level incompetence. Reminds me of an indie developer trying to deliver on an overhyped product. |
