New Factional warfare
The friendly fire is pretty stupid. I personally haven't experienced any issues with it (except for when driving an LAV, and a team mate got in the way, but I guess I should of dodged him in time), but I have heard of a few them.
First, vehicle drop offs, god knows why your vehicle dropping off on someone counts as killing them, but it should be discounted as friendly fire on the caller, as he can't tell where someone is going to be when the vehicle actually comes.
Second. Orbitals from EVE takes time, and although the Dust bunny calls orbies when no one is there, by the time EVEy drops it, team mates may be there, and for reasons unknown, the friendly fire is on the callers head and not the EVEy.
With friendly fire out the way, lets down to orbitals. Sure its great to see a game mode with no orbitals, but its kind of embarrassing to see it when the game actually has the ability to have them, dunno how you can deal with it.
Weapons
I sure do like the Rail Rifle and the Combat Rifle, but I kinda wish you change round the variation of the combat rifle so the assault variant is the main, and the burst is the secondary. Another thing about them is that I kinda hope you made tactical versions of them. I heard rumours of a precision rifle which would be the tactical variation of the combat rifle, so I'll ignore that for now, but a tactical variant of the combat rifle would be perfect.
Respec
Ok, great, you made a wise decision in respecing everyone who went into vehicles, as to my knowledge, they are pretty darn useless. BUT. With both the lack of vehicles about, and changes to AV, I feel that an auto respec into all AV items would be justified too. I haven't personally specced into them (apart from level one swarm but just so I don't have to use militia swarms), but I feel that they are worth nothing too.
Ignored Issues
First, the weapon heat glitch. With Scramblers and HMG's, once you overheat, you can crouch and press sprint and you can use the weapon while its technically 'seized', albeit with no reticule or the ability to ADS. With laser rifles the issue is worse because once the glitch is done, the laser rifle can rifle indefinitely with an infinite clip.
Second, pubstomping is still a huge issue. I'm not going to say more as this has been talked about to death.
AFK farming. I heard about a method, when using a turbo controller, program it to keep pressing square and x, and attached a rubber band around the two sticks, and you can farm without contributing. I've even noticed that if I spawn in an obviously losing game, and its near an end, and don't even spawn in, I get rewarded still. I've even seen it in-game, where I spawned in an MCC and saw a friendly twizzling in a circle non-stop. Mid game I came back and saw him still twizzling. AFK farming is easy and should be sorted out.
This could simply be done by NOT REWARDING FOR NOT CONTRIBUTING. If they earn 0 WP, they get 0ISK/LP and 0SP. If that happens in more than 2 games in a day, they get a strike lvl1, if they get so many lvl1 strikes (you can decide), they get banned for a week and a lvl2 strike. Get so many lvl2 strikes and their character is automatically deleted. |

Weapons are awesome, FW is cool, respec isn't a full one, and nothing is being done to beat PC lag.
When I'm depressed, I cut myself......A BIG SLICE OF CHOCOLATE CAKE!

Adding my thoughts here:
As an old player of Dust, I have to congratulate CCP in ruining what was a great game. I feel I need to list some issues I have noticed with the release of 1.7. First off, I must admit that I was excited about the new weapons, counting down the days till the new toys came out, but the problem is that there is no diversity in weapons now. Why would you nerf the AR, only to release two weapons that are clearly much more powerful? Why would overhaul the vehicles only to nerf its counter? I spend most matches now hiding from the 3 enemy tanks on the battlefield with no way to bring them down as long as I donGÇÖt call in a tank myself.
Second, What the hell happened to the hit detection? Half of my rounds hit nothing now and you canGÇÖt effectively fire from the hip. You know what I mean, please fix this!
Lastly, I been seeing more and more players cheating. I am sure you are aware of this CCP, but I see it coming dangerously close to what happened to Socom on the PS2. That game eventually got so bad that you couldnGÇÖt play it without running into cheaters in almost every room. I donGÇÖt want to list the cheats as to keep people from getting ideas, but its getting worse.
That concludes my rant, but I had to get it off my chest. I am taking a break from this game, but I am still hoping these issues will be fixed. There is so much potential with this game, and I love the complexity and depth. I have just grown tired of working towards a goal only to have it removed once I get there. Hoping there is light at the end of the tunnel. |
