I only play this game because I heard it's the only MMO worse than DCUO. It's not. DUST could actually be a fairly good game. Unfortunately it never will be. The formula the devs are following is total garbage. Nerf this, buff that. Introduce something new that makes everything released before completely useless. Sell equipment for USD that's ahead of what players using ingame currency can get.
You see, this is how to make money from a game that they have to give away in order to get anyone to play it. Nobody that matters cares the game sucks. I can't imagine anyone in charge of DUST even plays it. It doesn't look like anyone who even likes gaming in general is in charge of this thing.
If it wasn't free, there would be no DUST 514.
This being said, I personally see no solution in sight to the fact that the genius dev team has made every weapon but the rail rifle irrelevant. Why even have any other weapons as an option at this point? We've used four accounts to create a dozen alts to try different combinations and the results aren't that surprising.
Snipers can hit 40 times in a match, do 5000+ damage and never get a kill, so sniper rifles need to go.
Mass drivers and plasma cannons are laughable. I've played 6-8 hrs a day for the last couple weeks and have never been killed by one. I have a commando alt with the MD but it's the only one I've seen in game. Sadly I can get more kills with militia Locus grenades than by direct hits with the MD. Having an AoE weapon with no AoE and very little direct damage is pointless. Have yet to see anyone with the PC. Since both are taking up space, wave goodbye to each.
Nova knives are stupid. Stop trying to be COD.
The Combat and Rail rifle have made the Laser, Assault, and Scrambler rifles woefully out-gunned. So delete all of these as well.
There needs to be a cap on tanks in combat. 2 each for each side on the map at any time, for any game mode. This is only because the swarm launcher is so pathetic that you can't carry enough ammo to actually destroy a tank. Militia swarms should take out a militia tank in two shots. Since this will NEVER happen, swarms need to go.
And this is just for starters. Cancel the new equipment in 1.8. Delete almost everything that is currently offered until only what's used the most is left. Then add new stuff, on an even level with aforementioned over-used gear. Stop offering AUR items, or put them at the same SP value as the ISK variants.
I know that this will never happen, and there are now DUST fanboys vapor locking all over the globe because I dared say such things. Too bad, so sad. I can't wait for Star Citizen to come out. |

See? Like I said, fanboys. Can't possibly speak the truth about DUST being pure crap the devs have to give away without 'em coming out of the woodwork.
I bet you use Nova knives, huh? And think it's actually balanced that you could take on a heavy/hmg and win? Like I said, they're stupid. Stop trying to be another game.
Also, pub matches should only allow starter fit gear, there should be other tiers of matches for basic, adv, and proto gear, and one open tier for anyone to jump into with whatever they want to run.
Plus, all players who were part of the old matches with 20-40k SP rewards need to be locked into a 'veterans' tier where they can't fight anyone but other 'veterans'. |

I didn't touch the DUST forums for an entire 1 year and 3 months when i started playing. I suggest you actually PLAY dust and build your skills and knowledge without posting what you think within 10 days of playing.

Dust is still in beta, hence the major bonus changes coming in 1.8 The devs are still learning to balance weapons/vehicles/suits. 1.7 buffed vehicles but nerfed AV, essentially double buffing vehicles. |

The only thing that's unbalanced about the knives is that you can't sprint with the charge held. That's it. Also, don't compare nova knives in Dust to knives in CoD. I have played CoD for years and knifing in Dust is nothing like knifing in CoD.
Again, I'm an expert knifer here since waaaaaaaaay back in closed beta. And by way back I mean "Replication" build back when knives were not even a sidearm and you weren't able to swipe without fully charging them first and they were so weak that a plastic butter knife would do more damage than they did back then.
Nowadays, since Chromosome, I can one-hit kill most assaults with the nova knives as long as I play it right by flanking, hiding, and jumping people from behind where they least expect it. A fully trained and fitted Minmatar Scout Mk.0 fitted with Ishukone Nova Knives can deal at least 1200 HP damage in a single 1-sec attack. Unless you're a heavy, you're dead on the spot. Even then, a second charged hit will finish you off.
And don't forget that when a skilled knifer catches you, it's usually from behind and without you noticing him. And by the time you realize what's going on, you're already down to few points of armor and all that's left to do to finish you off is with a Flay Lock pistol or a melee.
Oh by the way, NOW WE'RE GETTING CLOAKS!

Thank you, fanboys for not only making my point but for taking such offense.
I also love it that there's always the **** who has to say "I was here a year before I posted on the forums...."
BIG DEAL I've been gaming for 30 years and know a **** game with a largely **** community when I see it.
DUST is just like EVE. The devs don't stop to fix anything, and won't, just like with EVE. They'll just keep stampeding along releasing more and more of the same broken crap.
Oh, btw, what's the average playerbase at any time? Has it -ever- broken 60k on?
COD is 60 bucks and there's hundreds of thousands on all the time.
CCP is apparently having problems even giving DUST away for free. I'm so sure they'll keep pouring money into a project where the only happy players are the proto bags in pub matches. |

Oh my God, seriously. You got the most kills in a battle using knives? This should not surprise me from a game where you can use the best sniper rifle in the game, shoot someone in the head 3 times from 200m , and have them turn around and two-hit you with a rail rifle. |

So I just let someone unload a mass driver on me. All 6 shots, from about 30 meters It got my shields and maybe 50 armor points. Then I shot him with a rail rifle. Twice.
I also got a bunch of sniper rifle kills earlier firing blindly into an area near an objective. Nobody on either team was near it. |

I think having time in at McDonalds would look better on a job app than CCP.
Furthermore, I am done using the term 'lag' in relation to the ******, glitchy, teleportation movement of players when the server breaks 20k people on.
I have screaming fast internet and DUST is still like shooting at Nightcrawler from the X-Men. I turned down the output res on my console, set the detail to medium and it's no better.
Oh, and, for the SIXTH TIME earlier I had my personal best game ever, only before the battle report came up, my screen told me a fatal error occurred and the game could not continue. Awesome.
And to whomever says sniper rifles are fine....30 hit markers in the last match. 5000 damage on the report, only 3 kills. |

Aur equipment isn't better than isk equipment. Most of the stats are the same as at least one of the same level isk options except the Aur equipment will have a higher PG or CPU cost. Also, what they're adding in the patches and expansions are things that they've always intended to be in the game and they don't make everything released before useless. Everything CCP have put in the game has it's use.
Alternate Insano wrote:Snipers can hit 40 times in a match, do 5000+ damage and never get a kill, so sniper rifles need to go.
Bad snipers can, yes. That's no reason to get rid of the sniper rifle. Good snipers get quite a few kills, not as many as the frontline types maybe, but they're not meant to get that many with a long ranged, high damage weapon.
As to the rest of the gear, I'm not sure about it, I use Rail Rifles and Assault rifles as well, but I'm mostly a sniper (in a scout suit). I don't use Proto anything and I still manage to get kills. I don't use any vehicles either so I can't really say about those.
Perhaps the problem you're having is because you're comparing one weapon to every other and expecting them to be the same. That's not how balancing works. Each weapon, each piece of equipment, vehicle and dropsuit has a role it was designed for. More importantly, it has it's own specific strengths and weaknesses.
If you don't like the game, quit. There are plenty of us who enjoy the game, can see it's potential, know that CCP is one of the better game development companies out there when it comes to constantly trying to improve their games and listening to the players.
Are there problems to be fixed? Yes, there are in any game. The devs are trying to fix what they can and keep adding and improving the rest of the game. But they're only human, you can't expect them to do everything all at once. If they concentrated on just rebalancing and fixing bugs, the game would stagnate, people would leave. If they concentrated on adding new stuff and not rebalancing to take the new things into account, the game would break and people would leave.
What they are doing now, the combination of fixing and adding to the game, is what has worked for 10 years in EVE Online. There are very few MMOs that have been around 10 years. None of them are as complex or, in my opinion, as enjoyable as EVE. And DUST is and was always meant to be a part of EVE (Check the logo at the top of the page, it's not DUST 514 it's EVE DUST 514)
When I play as a sniper, I'm more likely to be nearer to the opponents redline than my own.

Bittervet is, quite simply a shortening of Bitter Veteran. It's used to designate people who have been playing for a little while and who rant and rave about how the game's been broken without actually adding anything usefull. So in those terms, and considering Dust has only been released less than a year, someone who is part of a group (presumably) that has made four accounts and a dozen alts and had the chance to train them all to a level that supposedly allows you to compare all the weapons fairly (Which means you'd have to have all the Proto weapons across the board and all the supporting skills for each one to max) yet rants as you did in the OP qualifies as a bittervet.
Regarding your comments about 1.8, what's coming there is a lot of the racial variations of the equipment that's coming in the game, with bonuses that make sense in the lore for those races, changes to exisiting equipment that takes into account the incoming equipment and changes bonuses so that those suits also fit the lore that has been in place for the game for over a decade.
Suggesting that they scrap all the weapons except Combat and rail rifles is clearly not being helpfull at all and capping anything, is not practical considering each player has paid for their items with one of the in game currencies themselves, you're essentially telling people they can't play the play style they personally want to unless, in the case of tanks, they happen to be one of the first two people to deploy a tank.
When I play as a sniper, I'm more likely to be nearer to the opponents redline than my own.

Huge SP bonus?? LOL how??? When?? somewhere in the 12 days between Jan 10th and Jan 22nd?
I'm guessing you weren't there. |

Your ideas are honestly terrible. I am so sorry you don't enjoy Dust but do you seriously think a "DELETE DELETE DELETE" Mind side is better than a slow process of rebalancing, nerfs and buffs?

Alternate Insano wrote:I only play this game because I heard it's the only MMO worse than DCUO. It's not. DUST could actually be a fairly good game. Unfortunately it never will be. The formula the devs are following is total garbage. Nerf this, buff that. Introduce something new that makes everything released before completely useless. Sell equipment for USD that's ahead of what players using ingame currency can get.
You see, this is how to make money from a game that they have to give away in order to get anyone to play it. Nobody that matters cares the game sucks. I can't imagine anyone in charge of DUST even plays it. It doesn't look like anyone who even likes gaming in general is in charge of this thing.
If it wasn't free, there would be no DUST 514.
This being said, I personally see no solution in sight to the fact that the genius dev team has made every weapon but the rail rifle irrelevant. Why even have any other weapons as an option at this point? We've used four accounts to create a dozen alts to try different combinations and the results aren't that surprising.
Snipers can hit 40 times in a match, do 5000+ damage and never get a kill, so sniper rifles need to go.
Mass drivers and plasma cannons are laughable. I've played 6-8 hrs a day for the last couple weeks and have never been killed by one. I have a commando alt with the MD but it's the only one I've seen in game. Sadly I can get more kills with militia Locus grenades than by direct hits with the MD. Having an AoE weapon with no AoE and very little direct damage is pointless. Have yet to see anyone with the PC. Since both are taking up space, wave goodbye to each.
Nova knives are stupid. Stop trying to be COD.
The Combat and Rail rifle have made the Laser, Assault, and Scrambler rifles woefully out-gunned. So delete all of these as well.
There needs to be a cap on tanks in combat. 2 each for each side on the map at any time, for any game mode. This is only because the swarm launcher is so pathetic that you can't carry enough ammo to actually destroy a tank. Militia swarms should take out a militia tank in two shots. Since this will NEVER happen, swarms need to go.
And this is just for starters. Cancel the new equipment in 1.8. Delete almost everything that is currently offered until only what's used the most is left. Then add new stuff, on an even level with aforementioned over-used gear. Stop offering AUR items, or put them at the same SP value as the ISK variants.
I know that this will never happen, and there are now DUST fanboys vapor locking all over the globe because I dared say such things. Too bad, so sad. I can't wait for Star Citizen to come out. git gud

He has a point, and all of you guys know it. We just love the game too much to admit he's right?! Dust has amazing potential to be truly groundbreaking, but destiny may very well do what ccp won't do?! Too bad really?! Stop coming to the forums giving guys a hard time because they have the balls to say what we were all thinking! +1 it, and maybe ccp will get the message! Then we could get the game we all want!

I also love it that there's always the **** who has to say "I was here a year before I posted on the forums...."
BIG DEAL I've been gaming for 30 years and know a **** game with a largely **** community when I see it.
DUST is just like EVE. The devs don't stop to fix anything, and won't, just like with EVE. They'll just keep stampeding along releasing more and more of the same broken crap.
Oh, btw, what's the average playerbase at any time? Has it -ever- broken 60k on?
COD is 60 bucks and there's hundreds of thousands on all the time.
CCP is apparently having problems even giving DUST away for free. I'm so sure they'll keep pouring money into a project where the only happy players are the proto bags in pub matches. Dust only has 5k players on at a single time usually. If it ever hit 60k the game must have been made not poop. |

Yes, the game is in bad shape and has been since Uprising 1.0. I'll tell you the same thing I tell all the other new players: Turn on passive SP, come back in a few months. Maybe the game will be better by then or maybe not but at least you'll have a bunch of SP saved up by then and a lot less cortisol.

What kind of answer is 'Turn on the Passive SP and come back in a few months?' I honestly appreciate the sentiment, but GAMES ARE MEANT TO BE FUN THE FIRST TIME, not months down the road.
Plus, if I went away and came back, nothing would be fixed. Read the forums, nothing ever gets fixed, the issues just keep snowballing.
But, no matter. Every time someone complains about the game, you few guys that cause all the problems just jump right on the CCP bandwagon and chase the new player off. I'm sure that will fix everything.
Oh, wait, it won't, because that's been the norm for the last year. |
