DUST Search - My review of 1.7

Finally DUST 514 v.1.7 is here... in good and bad.

GÇó I've already seen many old players who have the new weapons skilled to max level, and some of them deal an amazing amount of damage... wow.

GÇó Tanks now can fly. Almost. Unless the driver is blind or stupid enough to stand still forever, AV units will have bad times hunting them down.

GÇó Vehicle turrets have limited ammo. Well, sort of since the MLT small-blaster carries 150 rounds per mag and overall has about 400. Yet, the lack of turning ability is quite something to consider.

GÇó Entering in a friendly vehicle is a totally NO-GO. You have to wait really a lot of time before you can finally get inside.
Now, I assume this was made to prevent vehicles from being "occupied" by blueberries when many people call in LAVs/HAVs/ships at the beginning of a match, but when you are in the middle of the game it really sucks to be unable to catch a ride on someone's LAV just because you have to wait many and many seconds.

GÇó Shield extenders now have a pointless huge recharge time penalty... c'mon! 7 seconds for "proto" shields!?!?
Ok, stacking penalty applies here as well, still I consider it too much.

GÇó Fixed turrets now work differently... not bad so far with MSL and FG/AM, I haven't tested the Blaster yet!

GÇó Amazing lag on FW, but I suppose it's not so strange since it's the first day.

GÇó Very few people playing Public Contracts, quite sad IMHO...

I'll eventually add something else if I notices it.

Your thoughts people?

Ever. 3 different people have told me it's like a Balac's on steroids. 3 different people, think about that. Combat/Rail Rifles (Besides their Assault Variants) are really good weapons. Sadly, battles don't last long because I'm either killed by the incredibly fast TTK or I end up killing the other person, but overall they're very neat weapons. Only thing to note is that the Rail Rifle should have a slower rate of fire. It is a breach rifle, after all. Many different factors make the game feel much smoother. Which is good, but also bad. It feels like I need to "re-learn" the game. I'm back to square one, but this time, I have Duvolles and Proto-Logis. I get a lot of kills, don't get me wrong, but at one point I tried to play with my Stealth-Tanking Scout M-1 using a Combat Rifle and went 13/21. Taking out Team-Kills, we'll say that's 13/16. Lot's of grenade spam coming from both sides. Wow. Factional Warfare, just great. Just so great. I love it. I don't care that I'm not getting my ISK, because I'd like to have a balance between FW and Pub Matches, and I'm also getting AUR weapons/suits along with some pretty amazing salvage. Not to mention the Loyalty Store is just brilliant. The fact that it tells you how man ships are in the system, how many were destroyed, and the Station Count, is just great. It really makes the player actually feel like there's a better integration between EVE and DUST, and there definitely is. Not gotten a chance to see a FW Orbital Strike yet, but I hope to see one soon. Hopefully it's not on my head. :( Also I've not tried any vehicle stuff. My respec went directly into infantry modules/weapons/suits/etc. I'll try out a MLT LAV later. I do know that the dropship feels great, especially with the Swarm nerf. Even in a Gorgon, I wasn't shot down. Hopefully in this next week, it gets a lot better, and I can actually do something without dying 21 times, but other than that, I think I liked this update more than I liked Uprising, when it first came out. I don't know, I just never looked at Uprising 1.0 and gave it as much praise as I give 1.7. GG, CCP. GG. EDIT: Just realized I fought against OP earlier this morning. You get a like, for not proto-stomping too much. But I still hate you for kicking my face in. :D ~Art, CEO and Director of Educations at Bojo's School of The Trades, Co-Founder of the Learning Coalition

Your thoughts people? blaster is slow too... but many many rounds. btw i wish it would show that i have no space on my HAV because i had 3 blues trying to get in for some reason. w/e HAV not a transport, thats why it has no passenger slots. You hate me, I hate you. Lets keep it that way. Level 7 1/3 Forum alt. "Its worth half a penny and a reach around"
Bellerofonte33 Ostrakon Agency Gallente Federation 0	Posted - 2013.12.10 19:28:00 - [6] - Quote hello all guys. here you are my opinions about the new patch. i rejoin the game during uprising 1.6. i found the game very very good since i played the beta. now i play sniper after some time spent as an assault merc. but things i dont like in this new patch: 1. the "loss" of ISK in some type of contracts. 2. now you need to join two different type of game (contracts) to earn ISK, LP and SP. 3. the huge drop down of SP, the rate of SP earned is too low. until yesterday you played and after a game you leaned a lot of SP. now it is more difficult and longer. for example i have to buy some level 3 skills, over 100k SP cost, and i earn too few after a game. it is too long to cap the abilities.

CCP you are ruining my playstation. Swarms are now also become absolete, try to kill something with swarms now, (YOU CAN'T) Did ANYONE test this before you decided to nerf it so bad ? i really refuse to belive so course if someone did that must be the most stupid person on the planet. So now i have swarms, shield regen and shield regu that are useless, and i would like a respec, no i demand a respec. Oh no thats right only the tankers get that. SORRY. LP store sucks. Gallante and Caldari should have ALL hybrid weapons. Minmatar still dont have a long range rifle. Amar has it ALL. Tanks are now SUPER OP, they even move to fast for most forge gunners to hit them, and forget all about swarms, you need to get to close and you dont make any dmg anyway. I dont know the combat rifle but i trained the rail rifle to lvl 5 pro 4 ad all i can tell you is IT SUCKS, it jumps around like a hunted rappit when you pull the trigger. Give me that SP back to, my AR is still better. All in all i have NOTHING positive to say about this new patch/update. NOW GIVE ME A RESPEC...

And again i was forced to train it do to the LP store. I can't get AR's in Caldari LP store, I should be able to as it's a hybrid weapon but NO CCP rather **** it all up even more.

If CPP wants to remove them, cool (I can already see people invadind Iceland with evil intentions), but why nerfing??? Another thing I noticed is that LAVs now ram people as they did some ago... another great job from CCP.
