I seriously wonder how long dust will last if CCP keeps losing cash players? With all the imbalances, bugs, exploits, and out right "cheats", what's left to keep new players around. My proto heavy has been reduced to nothing more than a joke. Even militia gear cuts through my armor in a second and there is no way to fight back. Heavies are still too slow, our guns now over heat like crazy, take for ever and a day to reload, need time to spin up to get a good grouping for our bullets, have to aim with a circle big enough to drive a mack truck through, and in the end, still out classed and out distanced by assault rifles which have scopes and reload in mere seconds. In reality assault logis are the real battle field heavies. All their module slots compared to my sentinel's one high slot ( not to mention their equip slots too.) makes for a serious imbalance.
Ever notice that even though there are heavies still around, most are not using mini guns any more?
Okay, now for new characters. Started a new build and I can't survive with him no matter what I try. Played half a day and earned next to nothing in SP since every single match wound up getting red lined within 60 seconds. Last match had a guy running around our ground spawn, deep in the red line, spawn killing us. After my third death, he was still there. Do the math.
So CCP, please explain to me where the fun is in blowing ISK on suits that serve nothing more than for spawn targets??
I hear players new and old gripe like crazy on mic, all saying the same things.
I watched them leave the game, which is what I am about to do.
Fix the bugs and glitches.
End the Imbalances.
Stop the Hacks. |

Interesting.....
Well simply put I'm recovering from a heart attack which left me unable to work and at home all day with nothing to do. Yes I do team up with Hellstorm when possible but most of the day they are not online leaving me with random blueberries. Even at that, no player should have to put up with hours of being red lined. There is no fun in being slaughtered time and time again which is something CCP desperately needs to address if it wishes to gain new players and have dust survive. The frustration I feel is shared by many. Leaving Dust is also a health consideration for myself in regards to my heart. Too much stress and not enough fun.
Ah so much concern for my belongings.
Well no worries folks my friend has been taken very good care of 
As for mini guns, yes they are still around but you see just as many if not more heavies using light weapons in place of heavy ones which shows something is seriously wrong. Sniper rifles and assault rifles are most common but I've seen laser rifles and even shot guns.
The heavy with mini gun is supposed to be the premier anti infantry build, but in the end both are an epic fail.
The mini gun has no range, it over heats, takes a year to reload, has such a large dispersal on it's bullets that it's outclassed by most light weapons, and it has a huge aiming circle better served in a circus rather than iron sights.
I think assault rifles and damage mods both should be slagged. Getting red lined over and over, all thanks to proto rifles, damage mods, and that dumb aim assist.
As for hacking I'm getting real tired of people saying it doesn't exist. Lag switching is out there. See it all the time.
Start shooting some guy and bam, he's lag bouncing all over. Even seen a tank do it yesterday. Got it close to death and bam! Instant lag which magically stopped once his rippers did their work. No lag switching.... Yeah right buddy.
I watched guys in pub and pc matches run around behind the red line with impunity. No 20 second limit for them..... hmmm..
I've seen ARS & Mass Drivers fire off rounds faster than they should. I've used those weapons, I know.
I've listened to fellow squad members say the same thing.
I've run with experienced proto squads, and we know when funky stuff is going down.
We enter a map, game freezes for a moment and we head for town and bam!
Reds on every roof.
No drop ships called in and yet some how they magically made it up on them roof tops.
wow
Then there is my favorite. You case some guy around a corner and he disappears completely. No where to go, no where to hide. You look all over but no enemy arrow anywhere. So you turn to leave and he's instantly behind you shooting you in the back of the head. Poof!! Magically appears out of empty dead end hallway.
On the point of punishing hackers, not going to happen. Been playing for decades and it's always the same deal. Unless its something big like that denial of service attack, they don't chase hackers.
Why?
It takes time and money to track them.
Internet laws differ from country to country, if they exist at all.
Finally, most are minors which means you can't prosecute them to begin with.
So there we have it.
Not like any of this matters since nobody from CCP will ever read it or do anything useful about it.
Game just keeps getting worse and worse with every update.
I'm frustrated and tired of wasting time and AUR just to be used for target practice

Thanks Shinobi, glad to see someone was listening.
I believe in being straight up and when you say something make it worth while.
Just to touch on one final point.... quality vs potential.
While potential is indeed an important factor, quality is critical. If game mechanics don't work or game play is just a never ending grind...... fun disappears and players leave the game. Potential is only valid when viewed from a place of comfort.
If things are okay now, we can wait for better.
In regards of heavies things just keep getting worse with no hope of improvement. For us there is no more potential.
Yes, restrictions were removed on spinning in place so we could now actually aim our guns. But what was our trade off? Over heating, armor that doesn't protect like it used to, and reduced armor movement penalties for everyone. So now everyone can armor up and still run circles around heavies. Heavy suits were designed to carry all that armor yet we move slower than other suits piled up with plating.
Yes I can replace armor plates with non restricting modules to increase my speed but what is the point to that ?
My total defense lowers to levels equivalent to proto logi suits however my speed is not good enough to compete with them.
In addition, the proto logi suit can have 5 high slots while my proto suit only has one. Oh and the fact that I don't even have any equipment slots. Being able to drop a healing nanohive would be nice.
Updates are supposed to offer potential.
- They need new content while finishing, fixing, and improving current content.
Yes new content has come out but there is still so much to fix and finish. That which needs improving has recieved nerfing instead. The next update I've heard little about except that more content is being removed or nerfed yet again.
CCP seems to do more damage than anything else with it's updates.
So final verdict, potential is dead while quality remains a zombie roaming across the battle field. |

Yes there is, I've seen it.
No you can't. Gave it to someone I actually know. |
