CCP's progress has been somewhat stunted over the past 9-12 months. This is to be expected when you have an EP who for whatever reasons isn't able to deliver. Up until Uprising we were getting decent 3 monthly title changing updates. After Uprising a slew of problems cropped up that needed immediate attention.
At EVE Vegas CCP Praetorian said they knew the game wasn't ready for release but they had decided that DUST 514 ought to be made with the gamers so they released it. Uprising 1.0-1.7 brought mostly quality of life changes, some attempts at balancing an incomplete picture, some new suits, weapons and equipment and a vehicle overhaul. While we were still making some steps forward, the game in general suffered from stagnation. We played the same maps, the same modes in the same suits with the same weapons and desperately sought after features like PvE and NPE were left on the way side. PC is a fail but FW is somewhat better since the introduction of LP and the store.
Now that there is an executive producer at the helm I have full confidence that things are on the right path. Members of the CPM have stated that CCP has good reason to be quiet and that good things are coming in 1.8 and forward to Fanfest which promises to be the next big evolution of the game. CCP Saberwing said that the NPE is at the heart of what they're doing and Praetorian said that 2014 was the year of 'putting the MMO into DUST 514' and said PvE would come this year. I'm hoping that it was also Rouges directive to get racial parity in suits and I hope that we get parity in weapons, equipment, vehicles and turrets in the next few updates so CCP can finally properly balance things.
So yeah, it hasn't progressed at the speed we wanted but you can't expect amazing results during a change of management and if you can't acccept that then you need to skill into realistic expectations and expectation management then come join me in the real world where you understand **** happens and just enjoy the game for what it is while watching it gorw. If you can't do that, just **** off and go play a nicely polished retail game and stop wasting your finite time on earth in a constant state of butt devastation. it's pathetic to wallow in that ****.
