Recently hired as a Game Designer, I've been working CCP hard to provide you a meaningful Dust experience and I'm proud to say that this update is ready to deploy for 1.8. At the moment, 1.7 notes is not yet finished as there's still some disagreements with Turret/Active hardener values and HP gained from Repairers; 1.6 notes is to be released by another dev soon. Fortunately, for 1.7 we're planning on introducing STD-ADV-PRO tiers for all vehicles which we're sure you'll all like and hope to show the spreadsheets for them next week.
Uprising 1.8 Patch Notes:
Gameplay
- This first one has been long awaited by Dust players: Let's say I'm using the DS3, "Hold X to move over Object/Railing".
The time it takes for a person to move over the object/railing is dependent on the Dropsuit's current sprinting speed. This should also help scouts outrun the enemy with ease and better use Hit-n-Run tactics. Heavies, however, are the only ones who will not be able to do this due to their dropsuit size.
New Mode: Arsenal - Defend a Container of yet-to-be transported Prototype Weapon BPC from the Attackers. The Defenders will spawn closer to the stockpile than the Attackers and with two Null Cannons already firing at the Attacker's MCC (they're the only side to have brought an MCC). The Null Cannons will be disabled upon being hacked by Attackers.
The Container has a quantity of 9 armored cases and there's 3 types:
*Heavy - contains 3 BPC of a random Prototype Heavy Weapon *Medium - contains 3 BPC of a random Prototype Light Weapon *Light - contains 3 BPC of a random Prototype Sidearm As an Attacker, you must first hack the Container in order to gain access to the BPC cases. Only one case can be carried at a time for each player. While carrying it, sprinting will be disabled, you will not be able to use a weapon, and you will not be able to enter vehicles. If an attacker is killed while carrying a case, it will be dropped, and it can be picked up by another Attacker or returned safely by a Defender.
The game ends when either of these occur: (1) a side loses all clones, (2) all cases are stolen, or (3) if the Attackers lose their MCC.
A win by Defenders result in bonus ISK for each BPC case defended. The contents of the cases stolen and delivered near the MCC will still be rewarded to the attackers even in a loss of match as long as they don't lose the MCC (ISK gain for them is lower than normal).
The cases have a 8.6% of containing Officer Gear.
FoxFour will be soon releasing a Dev Blog on this mode with additional details.
Player-to-Player Asset Trading
- Similar to ISK transfer, players are now able to send each other assets while on a unique menu screen.
- The trades can only be made if both players select "Agree".
- Trade of assets does not need to be of equal amounts in order to Accept.

I can't help but feel this was meant to be insulting, but I can't really tell why. I use Minnie logistics, and that new bonus would be insulting. |

Most of the stats are actually legit recommendations from me, I have thoroughly tested the values to see if it's ok and balanced. Also, I'm a hardened veteran with 28 mil SP :P |

Looks great actually. I'd like the Commando scan radius to share the logi or go to 18m. Or to have its dB level dropped to be better than a medium frames. |

Who in the Dust world would want higher HP for equipment? 1 Flux nade and it's still gone! What a useless skill. |

For f*cks sake would people quit confusing logi for medic and quit whining about the fact that we can tank and actually kill stuff too. We are still not as tanked as assault suits and if someone wants to spend all their CPU/PG on weapons, shielding, and armor then let them. The whole point of how suits are set up it to give people flexibility as to how they equip themselves and not have everyone is cookie cutter roles. |

Except they can have more HP than an Assault suit and the armor tanked ones can carry triage hives to activate God Mode. I don't care if Logi was intended to have this kind of flexibility, IT'S NOT BALANCED. Just look at all the pros in PC using these and spamming uplinks while still getting kills, ammo, and repair... it's treated as an Officer Assault, I can verify for you the stats on the Caldari one as I have 50 of them. |

I had a semi serious counter proposal, but the forums ated it.
One idea I would like to bring was a game mode called
Countdown.
One side sets up a rocket launch to give their space bros whatever. Hostiles know of they launch and crash the party with their MCC in siege mode.
Attackers either fuel their MCC's siege mode to blow the entire bits to pieces (takes about 3-5 of 10-15 minutes to pull this off)
Attackers could also try to capture all control consoles to gain control of the launch, they must posses 100% of the controls at the end of match to earn the bookmark for their own team.
Defenders won't have an MCC but they can fire up null cannons (capturing null cannons by the attackers only locks it) MCC destruction about the same time as the seige mode victory, they can also capture fuel lines to fuel the rocket faster making the clock count down much faster (shaves only 1-2 minutes max)
Either side can clone out resulting in destroyed/saved rocket
Open to High - Game practiced mode FW - Friendly Militia gets an intel/logistics box worth LP for pickup. PC - Used to ship materials to the war barge. Null
Setup: 0.5-2 Hours to launch Attack Window : 0.25 - setup time, if no attacks are scheduled before the last 15 minutes no battle starts up and launch goes unopposed.
District required? : No District used? : If yes, then map starts with pre captured facilities to owning district (a hostile force could still rocket launch their raided materials from the zone they're raiding.) |

Only issues I see here would be where to place the rocket launch (or how to activate orbital cannon, been offline for too long), everything else looks great (save the damn thing) but I'm afraid CCP won't have time to implement this and with success considering their limitations in development. |

Another new game mode is
Overload
Setup: Attacker Target: MCC construction site; map will require a new outpost, racial variants could add flavor and variety.
WIndow of attack within 1 hour of completion of MCC Building process or 10% of total process whatever is more. (they're destroyer sized I doubt they take much time to construct)
Attacker Primary Objective: Destroy MCC under construction.
Defender Primary Objective Destroy Attacking MCC, Defend Friendly MCC in the shipyard.
Attackers have to pick one of three ways to destroy the MCC.
Capture Coolant to rapidly cool off their MCC's siege cannon to destroy the hostile MCC, the stations are easy for attackers to capture.
Capture Null Cannons this traditionally destroys the MCC slowly.
Capture Reactor Controls - by capturing the reactor lines the defenders MCC Shields being to recharged rapidly, and when full begins overcharging the reactors which will cause the defending MCC to explode. Which reactor available for capture changes periodically requiring a fresh hack every time. 3 Minute of scored control will ensure MCC destruction after shields are capped off which only requires 1 minute. This can easily over build provided the attackers are not using their own siege mode or null cannons as a means of destruction.
Defenders have to protect their MCC by
Destroying hostile MCC with null cannons.
Outlast the siege and launch the friendly MCC out of the yard by managing cooling lines which reduces the overcharge timer score.
Keeping friendly MCC's shields 'healthy'
The game mode is timed.
Cloning out results in default victory conditions. Attackers destroy the MCC defenders save the MCC.
High Sec: Yes FW: Yes - LP tied in. PC : Yes - Used for MCC launching. District Use : If Yes - Defenders start with majority control of structures. Advanced District Use: Owners can set the order of reactor activation giving them the homefield advantage.
About reactor controls:
Defenders have to carefully manage the reactors between the null cannons and siege mode, all offensive options will overcome the reactor line shield recharge rates (siege mode most included) However mismanagement of the shield rechargers will lead to the defenders capable of accidentally blowing up their own ship if they keep the reactors overcharging the shields too often. |
