Problem #3: Lack of PvE
In such a heavily competitive game, like EVE, PvE acts as an important stepping stone for new players to learn basic combat skills without being completely and totally overrun by veterans. Dust 514 completely lacks this vital step. The problem speaks for itself, as I'm sure you're well aware.
Problem #6: No Variety
It's boring and repetitive as hell. 'Nuff said.
Problem #7: No Identity
In EVE, everything feels important, as if it were a piece of me. All of my ships are incredibly personal. My character is shaped and displayed as I want. I can do things that most other players in EVE don't want to, and vice versa. I feel like I have an identity in EVE. There's no identity in Dust 514. Every fitting feels generic. Hell, every item feels generic. And my character isn't even a character. HE'S JUST A NAME, RACE AND SKILLSET.
Problem #8: No Industry
Highly competitive MMOs? They don't work very well unless you have something worth fighting over.
Problem #9: Poor Progress
Progress is slow as hell, and when they finally DO manage to do something, it's almost always poorly implemented or executed, or should've been very easy to implement. Case in point? The new Racial ARs. Combat Rifle doesn't have any mechanical differences that set it apart from the G-AR, just some minor statistical differences and different visuals. Rail Rifle is pretty much the same, apart from the charge-up time before firing (which should be a very simple change considering that the mechanic for it is already in place and has been added to many weapons already).
Your above points seem valid. Here's another few, this game doesn't mirror it's partner game well enough yet to feel like it is in the same universe.
Game glitches rather than being fixed are made far worse and more prevalent with each patch. I remember playing the game without lag at all, now I turn lag, run lag, shoot lag, yes equipment spam is hardcore but this should not be an issue considering there are many ways to destroy them and so many people do, time to fix iteration and rendering of objects.
Scenery glitches such as grass floating in the air are not fixed in a timely manner, and although a bullet can shoot through a merc and rip him to shreds, if one single blade of grass blocks my firing line that bullet or bullets are absorbed by the grass as if it were 1600mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten but without taking any damage.
Hit detection seems fine but any time terrain comes into play with movement and ADS my scope messes up and disappears whether it is a set of stairs or a hillside. If this is a mechanic that seems to work well consider that real life objects don't just become see through if the angle you are looking at it changes.
Good job on the Combat Rifles, the increase in DPS from a Ballocs AR (never would have trained if these would have been in from the start) is perfect to contend with the Scrambler Rifles. Respecs on a Paid for Basis or as in Eve with neural remaps available 1x per 12 month period, perhaps SP respecs should be available in a time period such as this as well.
Thank you for the Aurum back on the Blueprints I had Paid for and was using, now instead of unlimited time to enjoy that purchase(s) I now will see that money pissed away within the next 4 weeks I am sure.
So you introduced a store that not only has Proto Gear for really low costs, it also has reduced SP cost to use??? WTF is going on that you think the Proto gear should be easy to skill into and cheap to purchase? 450 isk and a similar amount of LP is a really small amount of isk for something that people would other wise be spending Aurum on for the exact same suit.
BTW nice vehicle changes, now the good ones are really really really good and the militia ones are Terribad. IMO this is slightly silly with what non tankers/non Assault DS pilots had been saying before (yes they are more expensive so should be harder to kill) but why then is a proto suit so easy to kill when fully plated up and an expensive vehicle not?
I hope this game gets some really focused attention on filling out the racial gear quickly so you guys have some time to add PVE, the trainer for PVP and some other stuff that helps the game rather than just makes players rage. I am getting to the point where I dread Patch Day.
