Hey OP,

I just answered in another thread, but will repeat this once, only once.

https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1417751#post1417751

I am the global head of FP&A at CCP, currently based in Iceland, and relocating with my family to Shanghai in January to help our efforts on Dust 514, joining CCP Rouge and the team there.

Given that I am also a fanatic player, you might call me a true believer in Dust 514 and its potential.

That said and done, I have opinions, usually as fact based as I can, which is one of the reasons I am here on the forums but I don't actually develop the game, but I can influence it.

I only have one character, GA proto assault but after maxing out core skills (getting CPU L5 tonight), I gave up on the total specialization of one weapon and just went up to adv in most of them, not only to gain insight but also to enjoy different playstyles and tactical deployments.

So I have a few points in all equipment, and hvy/scouts, that I use situationally (shotty uplink scout, defender heavy, etc) resulting in a god-awful mess of a fitting list like 1. GA ASS PRO SCR AS DMG, etc....

There is nothing that I love more than my fit that has 378/378 CPU & 79/79 PG, that's the way of the warrior

Working on my heavy skills now (without SP investment), waiting for the GA heavy

I have been practicing my aiming by only using the Imperial and Tac AR, but progress is slow and painful and destroying my KDR, I also play coop CODBOPS2 with the oldest boy to train mah twitchin'

I have played every build since closed internal alpha, so I know the long way we have come since then, and how far we can still go, and guys, Chromo wasn't "that good"

I am in a PC player corp and EVE alliance, though I don't play EVE

Having kids makes me never able to hit the cap, and very rarely do PC. I am working on that though.

Does that cover it...?

And I used the PLC way before it was cool Cool

Wait aren't you the new guy ! You talk like one of us! you played skirmish 1.0 you really understand the possibilities dust could bring!

Get a weapon to proto and send an app Ah, I didn't do all the AR specialization like reload speed and optimization but I do have my trusty Duvolle TAC AR, and I am waiting for some burst love for my Allotek, fingers crossed

Don't you love deciding to switch your the default grenade, I just switched back to M1's from flux's and that was a fun half hour...

Nah its good to see Devs playing PC and such, and from how you talk about dust you seem like a solid player I don't dual tank, complex dmg mods on all my GA fits, regardless of weapon

I feel like you just stole all of my information somehow and claimed my life as your own especially the kids part. Lol We are much alike, good sir. It's nice to see someone as interested in the game and it's potential as I am once in a while. Call me a fanboy, but the game has more potential than any other game I've ever played. You have some competition with Destiny, but we can beat Bungie. I'm looking forward to that Gal heavy, by the way. Keep it comin dude. -Irish P.S.- I forgive you for your time at EA. never at EA, been with CCP since 2007

But you're not fooling me with the PC talk - your corp is PC ready but they're not taking anyone not in proto. So now I wonder about your opinion on the competitive level. SoTa, y u hurt me... Jokes aside, don't know what you mean, I run a full proto/complex assault (dmg mods, armor, light weapon), except scanners/hives and grenades (don't have them up to full proto yet), I spent the rest of my SP on maxing core skills and some branching

So the only one I can be public on is the CCP Mintchip. one. Which I don't play as often. CCP Mintchip // Twitter - @CCP_Mintchip Dust 514 Community Rep
