So not one new module or suit or vehicle since 1.2. No new dropsuits or vehicles or whatever until after 1.6?
What is really going on over there CCP?
All you really have to do is release one new dropsuit/module/weapon/vehicle per month to keep people optimistic, to make people feel like this game isn't dying.
Have you seen the reaction to your delays? People are giving up hope and becoming jaded. |

I'd like to see a dev blog on their development process, what went wrong, and what they are doing to fix it. I'm not looking for promises of quick fixes or anything, just evidence that they understand what the problem was/is and what to do about it.
In the absence of that, I'll be shifting my focus to wondering what John Lander can come up with for mobile platforms. |

in the absence of that I think many players will lose consumer confidence and find better ways to spend/invest their time+money |

Yes.
They built it for PC then hoped to get it on both Xbox and PS3 at the same time.
When Xbox said F-you they started from scratch to be able to put it on PS3.
They got held to the fire for a release date and Booom!
This is what you got. |

While I completely understand everyone's desires for new content of some kind or another, think about it this way: when this game originally released in May, it was due to be updated in up to six month intervals, so we were never even due to have anything new at all until November.
Note - I'm not saying that this is, or was ever acceptable, especially given the state that the game was released in. |

Oh I am completely fine with 6 month cycles due to being an eve vet.
Seriously though, they are using a widely documented engine (unreal engine) and all I am wondering is why it takes so incredibly long with so many problems to just produce anything?
They sure can knock out aurum items at a quick pace, which to me says that the art department is doing just fine. The maps seem to be coming aloong nicely aswell which also says to me that their modeling department must be ok. So what the hell is the holdup with everything else? Is there animation department pants on head ********? |

True, but that six months is almost here, and the only substantial content addition we've seen is a set of maps...excellent ones, mind you, but at the rate they're putting them out, it'll be years until we have a full set of SIs, and they've indicated they're not going to explore anything else (space stations, etc.) until those are done.
Last we heard, the vehicle update will be reducing vehicle roles...which probably means pulling things like the Logi LAVs and Logi Dropships out of the game temporarily. A worthy cause, but when will we get them back, much less get Minnie and Amarr vehicles? The few, vague dev posts regarding 1.6 have implied it's not much more substantial than 1.5, so even going by the 6-month update, the content updates are looking extremely anemic. |

This is what you got.
But buttercup all of that is ancient history.
What in the code makes an Ammar heavy different from a Minmatar Heavy. What is stopping you from delivering a Rail Rifle if you have a forge gun or a Combat Rifle if you already have a Burst AR.
It seems more like whomever was doing alot of this stuff just left and the rest of the guys just are struggling to get up to speed.
I also dont buy IWS line about it being unplayable - we had the TAR and invinci- tanks and Flaylocks etc. The only thing could whatever they wanted to implement physically broke connectivity or response times or something.
Whatever....... they really cant sink much lower in my estimation. We get stuff when we get it and if people want to leave I cant blame them. I am planning to start skilling into a new suit and change my way role to get some more fun but I cant recommend this to anyone. |

i don't see how it could be all that hard to make the rest of suit roles seeing as they copy the old suit and give then a different paint job. only thing really is to code their bonuses in and that is really it. |

CCP is arbitrarily holding off new content (despite what they claim) because they know racial suits and vehicles will be a huge selling point, and they want to save that opportunity for when they feel Dust is in a more presentable state. |

While I understand this - who are they holding it off for???
All the people who dont know about the game or worse, have given up on it.
They should bring them in, then balance them gradually and then add other maps and game modes in Spring and market around 5/14
Then start working on fancy stuff for the following holiday season.
At the moment they are just pushing away the true believers and optimists and making many more cynical. |

Then let me respect we are still in beta... They say it is not Beta.. So what do you mean presentable? |
