This game is only f2p if you don't want to compete. It's ridiculous and I feel cheated.

I think CCP cares about balance, but that they intentionally 'test' weapons/vehicles in-game and just don't tell us, which gives the impression that they don't. For this reason, some aspect of Dust will always be 'beta' to a certain degree.

Because there is no equivalent to Eve's Sisi in Dust, the only way to test weapons in Dust on a large scale is to put them directly into the community, and gather data on their usage. Think of everything new that has been introduced, and tell me one besides the plasma cannon that has not been released OP? I think this is intentional, and they do it for 2 reasons:

1) They want to encourage a large part of the playerbase to skill into it, so that they can get data on it's usage and performance.

2) They want to quantifiably determine, with hard data, where the upper limit of the weapons "OP-ness" is, so they can use this for future balancing. Notice how the Flaylock, a brand new weapon, was OP as f***, but the RR and CR are OP, but not as much? The Flaylock was a brand new weapon, which was harder to balance... but CCP was able to balance the RR and CR rifles a little better because of their experience with the TAC (which was OP as hell), so they knew a little better where the upper limit on the RR/CR should be; that's why they are only "slighty" OP at the moment.

So basically, CCP cares about balance, but the only way to determine balance without a test server is to use the community as guinea pigs, which gives the impression they don't give a crap.

Hate the damage mods and OP weapons. Players skill up to use something when they want. Right now the cost of proto gear is in a pretty good place I think. If you're really good you can run proto all the time. If you're not you can't. It's the skill that makes the most difference. I love when your in a basic fit and you get hate mail for proto stomping.

But proto was different in those days everyone ran the max of what they could afford at all times .. mainly because anyone could compete with their ability in those days, I could make a 500k SP alt and compete directly against my friends...

Any player who take a serious shot at running ISK-only will find that AUR is totally not needed for gear. Boosters are a different story, especially for new players. +1 I agree wholeheartedly. I run straight ISK fits. I have only 4.5m sp. I generally compete just fine. When I die, it's almost 100% due to an error on my part. 1v1 I beat full proto load outs in advanced gear. On occasion, I lose to basic load outs in advanced gear. Usually because my aim wasn't steady enough. The one thing that bothers me is that people can buy prototype gear for aurum. If you want to try a new basic fit without skilling into it, great. If you want to try an advanced model of a weapon because its different than the basic model (think assault CR vs basic CR), fine. But if you want to run prototype gear, earn it. Invest your sp and ISK. This is just my personal feeling on the matter, and I accept that it is unlikely ever to change. CCP makes a ton of money on selling proto gear, strictly because people don't want to take the time and energy to earn and invest the necessary sp. As such, I'm SoL, and I know it. So I will just take significant pleasure in hunting down and killing anyone in aurum-bought prototype gear, and knowing that I'm costing you real money. But hey, that's just me.

In a game like this, which deliberately has an economy as part of the meta game, players should be doing some basic maths as part of playing the damn game. Cost effectiveness of your dropsuits, ISK efficiency, etc. Then again, CCP should be adding these stats to the end-of-game screens. Basically, you should start skilling into and using proto gear when you are very, very rich. If CCP had built this aspect of the game properly, then only elite vets would have proto.

Skihids Bullet Cluster Legacy Rising 2870	Posted - 2014.02.19 20:40:00 - [29] - Quote It's silly stupid that the EoM screen features a KDR breakdown so prominently while ignoring ISK earned and lost. We are immortal, so why should we give a rat's ass how many times we kill vs. die? Yes, total deaths matter when you lose by clones, but what matters most to mercenaries is money! The EoM screen should help me plan my fittings better. It should tell me things like: The fittings I earned the most WP's in. The fittings that cost me the most ISK. The equipment I lost that I never used. Rate my fittings on a WP earned per ISK lost. Amount of ISK saved by being picked up by a needle. Plot a chart of net ISK loss/gain over the past several matches. There's probably a ton more bits of information that would be useful but that's a start. It would certainly assist new players and reduce their frustration level. CCP really needs to sell DUST on its uniqueness. Emphasize the economy, don't just repeat what all the other lobby shooters are doing!

I think CCP cares about balance, but that they intentionally 'test' weapons/vehicles in-game and just don't tell us, which gives the impression that they don't. For this reason, some aspect of Dust will always be 'beta' to a certain degree. Because there is no equivalent to Eve's Sisi in Dust, the only way to test weapons in Dust on a large scale is to put them directly into the community, and gather data on their usage. Think of everything new that has been introduced, and tell me one besides the plasma cannon that has not been released OP? I think this is intentional, and they do it for 2 reasons: 1) They want to encourage a large part of the playerbase to skill into it, so that they can get data on it's usage and performance. 2) They want to quantifiably determine, with hard data, where the upper limit of the weapons "OP-ness" is, so they can use this for future balancing. Notice how the Flaylock, a brand new weapon, was OP as f**, but the RR and CR are OP, but not as much? The Flaylock was a brand new weapon, which was harder to balance... but CCP was able to balance the RR and CR rifles a little better because of their experience with the TAC (which was OP as hell), so they knew a little better where the upper limit on the RR/CR should be; that's why they are only "slighty" OP at the moment. So basically, CCP cares about balance, but the only way to determine balance without a test server is to use the community as guinea pigs, which gives the impression they don't give a crap.

Sorry but CCP has no concept of balance. It's easy for the players to see an OP weapon, often before they release it. I haved learned this lesson about CCP... They just don't care. They can't be bothered to deal with these types of issues in any kind of hurry. How much 'data' do you need?

xxwhitedevilxx M Maphia Clan Corporation 1686	Posted - 2014.02.20 01:45:00 - [35] - Quote Have read only the first page, so if someone else already answered like me...well, who cares.. If CCP purposely imbalance the game they would actually give the community a reason to spec into something (flylocks, logis, mass drivers, tanks etc), but at the same time they'd lose audience. By the time a casual gamer play this game and see the tank spam, he's not going to grind like a no lifer to get his tank, he would just quit, or maybe wait untill a new patch. In other words, if they don't balance the game, only the well known FOTMers will keep playing till they grow tired. It's so simple, we the players have not just one game to play, the market is full of sci-fi fps. I haven't bought a booster since 1.4 because, seriously, why should I boost my SP gain if the game keeps being unbalanced every patch? But if it was balanced i would gladly buy a booster sometimes, or cosmetic items. Tank 514.

If CCP purposely imbalance the game they would actually give the community a reason to spec into something (flylocks, logis, mass drivers, tanks etc), but at the same time they'd lose audience. By the time a casual gamer play this game and see the tank spam, he's not going to grind like a no lifer to get his tank, he would just quit, or maybe wait untill a new patch. In other words, if they don't balance the game, only the well known FOTMers will keep playing till they grow tired. It's so simple, we the players have not just one game to play, the market is full of sci-fi fps.

I never said they did it on purpose, I said the prefer it, and now its here there not doing much to change it because there making a killing (pun intended). Gÿé Syeven 514

A business's sole intent is to provide a product, service, entertainment, or education to generate a PROFIT for the people of that business. AURUM is how DUST 514 draws revenue from its customers. Incentive needs to be given for AURUM to be used. Do they sit around and have meetings as to how they can generate more money off the playerbase? Yes they do, every business does. Eliminating BPOs, creating enormous SP gaps in skill tiers, non-segregation of newer players, and the lady in the warbarge constantly talking about buying AURUM are all efforts to increase AURUM sales for this title. Is it evil and wrong? Depends how you look at it. But to accuse someone of wearing a tinfoil hat for pointing out the obvious of what any business does in any industry is ignorant. True, CCP isn't as evil as perhaps Big Tobacco was in the United States, but those practices and models are still applied throughout all businesses throughout the world, because they simply work. The fact that they rushed out this game, and took 10 months since "Official Release" to put in the full array of dropsuits (Pilot Suits anyone?) should be a good indicator of how desperate they are for your money. The AURUM codes and mechanics of this game have worked flawlessly since this game's release. However, you still have the choice to buy or not. Everyone should use it wisely.
