I think I can safely talk for a good portion of Dust players when I say who the **** are you kidding 'you're not quick'?

Your team hasn't cared to listen to the players or give them decent information for two years, why would now be any different?

It's not. They haven't given us a roadmap... ever. Remember six+ months ago when they told us they were going to be releasing one? I do, where it is yo? This is how CCP gets away with never having anything finished, and taking months to do a balance. It's obvious that unless it's a major flaw CCP has the philosophy "It can wait." Without a road map they don't have any standards or "goals" to adhere by, so when the finish date comes around and they realize all that drinking has caught up to them they can just be like eh. I've now dedicated this football defense song sung by cheerleaders to CCP:

PUSH EM BACK! PUSH EM BACK! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY BACK!!!!

This came up in the CPM Q&A today and I was wondering why I didn't see anything about the roadmap on the front page. In addition, do you guys have any idea for the next 6 months in terms of a roadmap? A general idea of what would be in store, in list forum like above post, could be very beneficial for all of us.

CCP doesn't know, hence, no road map will be done in stone. The way FoxFour explained it, it's like this. Each team is working on their project, and every update for the month = whatever each team has finished. So 1.5 will be some small updates + what Team TruGrit finished (added corp roles) So if CCP has no idea what their teams will finish work on every month, then obviously planning a monthly road map is useless. for the most part though, they have stuck to that roadmap over the monthly cycle iterations. Upgrading the New Player Experience so you have greater context, immersion, and are better prepared to survive in DUST. (In Progress) Improving controls for aiming (Mostly Done, Tweaking) Balancing Instant Battles so players are matched better (Mostly Done, Tweaking) Fixing bugs and exploits (In Progress) etc.

If you want a more detailed look at our roadmap, here are the things we'll be working on over the coming months. Upgrading the New Player Experience so you have greater context, immersion, and are better prepared to survive in DUST. Improving controls for aiming Balancing Instant Battles so players are matched better Making sure all battles hit a consistent 30 FPS minimum for our current max battle sizes Improving vehicle movement Balancing vehicles so each has a role and is balanced both versus other vehicles and infantry Improving infantry movement Making getting into battles provide more context about what's going on, why you're fighting, etc. Improving Planetary Conquest and making it more meaningful and interesting to be involved with Improving Factional Warfare, making it more interesting, and rewarding players who are loyal to a faction somehow Fixing bugs and exploits Improving overall gear balancing so there is no "best" choice and there are tactical choices to make Improving situational awareness tools through the UI Improving the fitting experience through UI and better integration with the market There are also things that are not high level roadmap stuff that we'll be working on. Stuff like the addition of snow in Uprising 1.2 is a good example of this. For example, we have some other graphical improvements coming in 1.3, such as some changes to sites and scopes to improve visibility in certain environments, which are not "Roadmap" items but are still important fixes nonetheless. We don't have set-in-stone dates for when certain things are coming. It's also not really possible to share the nitty gritty details of each roadmap item at the moment, for a variety of reasons."

Overall, CCP has stuck well to that goal. Maybe if they referred back to that roadmap more often, people would get an idea of where they're heading. Also, a new updated roadmap for the next several months would be nice as well.

Trust me when I say that is all you should ever expect is a list of things they would "like" to get done. Not a list of things that will be done. And expect them sporatically, maybe one every 2-3 months if we're lucky. Really there is no reason to ask or expect a roadmap considering the fact that those of us that have been here for 2+ years know that even if they ever did release a road map they would never stick to it. Hell half the things on that list you linked still isn't here. So, I end up linking the roadmap that was provided to us and you dismiss it as a crappy devblog. Coolstorybro. As per IWS post, he is right in that most of all the things listed on that roadmap have been completed since that roadmap's creation. I agree though that a newer roadmap is in order so we players have an idea of what to expect in the coming months. We're itching for content! (PVE anyone? )
