I read a lot of good posts in here. I cannot say if I am a veteran, but I can say that Dust last changes really start getting on my nerves.
I am patient and passionate about this game. But as a scoot player, I really start getting crazy.
Assaults using scanners non-stop.
Logies playing assault with rail riffles.
Heavies at every corner (the 1.8 announcements about heavies + february event) can only be countered by other heavies, or in my case, remote explosives.
Such explosives being concieved to work against vehicles (tanks mostly) and to defend null canons. But as it takes like 10 seconds to plant 3 remotes on the back of the tank, as AV grenades are now worthless, as SL have been nerfed, and as I cannot fit a forge-gun on a light dropsuit (maybe I should ask for it, who knows ?), the tank is already gone (because it is faster that a jeep, remember ?) or I got killed by any militia assault rifle who touched me with 2 rounds.
For the history, I started playing scout with a speed fit. But being scanned the whole game, and a scanned scout being a dead one, I change strategy.
So I tried the low profile fit. But not being able to strafe properly, and a scout who cannot strage being a dead one, I change strategy.
So I tried the scneaky fit (nova / remotes / catalyzer / low profile). Nobody sees me coming, and I can one-shot pretty much every one I get close to. Well, it is close to work in public/FW, not that much against vets in PC. And when it does work, you receive hate mails anyway (actually GoodGame mails if your kills were mostly nova, and hate mails when it was remotes). Not liking being insulted after a game, I change strategy.
In the end, I ended doing what every scouts do : get my gallente dropsuit, stack some plates, fit a shotgun, and run my scan. At every game. On every mods. Well that works. When the frame-rate is doing ok, depending on the map...
To conclude, unbalanced weapons, unbalanced vehicles, equipment spamming and exploit, bad game fluidity, low quality gameplay control, over-efficient aim assistance, ridiculously short TTK, disappearance of skills impact on the game, bad public match making, broken FW, frozen PC, red-line issues, close to non-existent EVE-Dust link... And I did pay for that.
But Cumbaya ! CCP take vacations, making the update release even later, and we got our Quafe CK.0 for Valentine's day. Everything's fine.
Do listen CCP, the number of angry and borred players is growing. Even your core players start getting tired of your never ending promises. We want Dust to be great. Fix it now, you won't have many chances left to do it right.
Your blade is an extension of your mind. It must be swift, silent, focused. And deadly.
