BUMP.
For an official response by DUST EP. Not the Community Team, your job is hard enough, obviously, and the answer to how to repair these problems is clearly above your paygrade.
It's been 4-5 months since the New EP has come on board and that's more than enough time to get one's head around a big, jacked up mess of a project, come up with a plan and begin repair.
Many of the gameplay aspects of the 2009 demo are unrelated to 'technical issues', we've seen these gameplay elements, or a variation of them, in the game already. Their absence is sorely missed.
1) Skirmish 1.0 (MCC Docking with installation, progressing through map areas, etc)
2) Alternative Installations (sensor booster installations?!, remember small turret installations from Public Beta?)
3) "vehicle deployment based on warpoints" (this would solve so many problems with "Tank514 v1.7")
4) Extensive Interior Spaces. (more maps anyone?)
It seems to me that these items fall into the category of 'should be in the game already' ie: come on, get it together, dust off the code and get it back in the game.
Other elements of the demo are more easily described as content clearly expected by the community but completely absent thus far from any playable versions:
1) "We have 10 vehicle classes, 8 of them are planned for launch" REALLY? really!?! (this has been "Oh Really?!? with Sigourney Reever")
2) Weapon Subsystems (Assault Rifle with MD slung below, multiple scope types, etc)
3) Highly detailed WarBarge areas. (as seen in part 2 of the 2009 demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHxYk-ZdvCQ)
Maybe you overreached, simply explaining that would be helpful, but these elements were expected certainly by now by a large number of players. Some sort of Official Roadmap would allow folks to let them go by the wayside, but without a clear comment, I'll hold you to the quote below.
The demo ended with the quote from CCP CEO "This is no gimmick, this is the real thing."
So far, I'm only seeing loads of Gimmick, it's been 4 1/2 years since that demo.
Some sort of official response would be appreciated.
Thanks,
