I agree with that as well, its at a by-pass 50-50, maybe abit more to one side or the other, but the new content has been given more attention then bug fixing.

As to the other nitwit that posted, this isnt just about nerfing, its about fixing and I dont think you understood tit properly, that was my "PERSONAL" opinion, yes given its not popular being a tank I think railgun tanks need a look at, the point being is changing to much in one hit will cause unforseen bugs exploits etc. So either read it through or dont bother posting again :)

You are quite right anaboop, changing too much at once does lead to problems as seen with the nerf hammer updates we have had thus far in Dust history.

In all reality failing to make the game in the way you specifically want it to be does not equal a failure, merely that they did not succeed at doing what you wanted them to. They can't be faulted for that because in all reality there are at least 3500 other people playing, many of which give opinions, ideas and feedback about what they want devs to do, it is the devs choice what they include and what they don't.

CCP , are kind of stuck with the blame though not intentional or anything, in my defence I never really jumped on CCPs back about it all but as u said I just threw my opinion into the mist, fully knowing people wouldnt like it and pretty much dismissed any attacks which most people seem to do on the forums even without reading or understanding the basis behind the thread, aka people crying at me about the tank idea, which is my personal opinion that I used as an example of how not to change everything at once. At least you dont attack peoples ideas due to scanning a thread and saying something thats completely defferent. Anywho im pleased with the hotfixes to come even if it takes time, gives me hope.

They fail because they don't add enough content, and they spend too much time balancing vs fixing. Content should have been the priority long ago (like PVE), but second to that should be actual fixes for things like hit registration, lag, broken terrain, sticking, etc. Balancing shouldn't even be done at this early stage. I don't see anything along the way of really making game balance because the new content throws the balance right out the window. Currently the knew class in the game are ninjas; you just do spec out scouts, nova knifes, Magsec and cloak. But that's really a fair example of how game balance hasn't really happened. Magsecs replace nearly all sidearms and can be even more lethal than a shotgun. Rail guns and combat rifles...people used to complain about Geks but you had a chance against a Gek and even with the addition of a damage mod, you could still live it out an assault. As a MAG vet, I have to say I had more fun playing Raven against SVER than I do Dust because either whatever I do might be tossed out the window tomorrow. Then add to the fact that the game is more unbalanced and doesn't have some basic elements down properly that just irritate me. Maybe I like at least 30 seconds in the warbarge to prep. Maybe it'd be nice to have a bigger timer to spawn where I want. Maybe the matchmaking could do a better job of it. I get the idea that Dust is a free game but with a cash shop for aurum, they still are "for profit" and should really invest a bit more in this game. I think the best FPS games I ever had on the PS3 were Resistance 2 then MAG, [becaue everyone in Resistance had the same weapon and abilities so no one whined about game balance]. With MAG, no one seemed to care about Dom and balancing was really needed. With Dust, it's a game you know that had potential but it's been so long that you just get used to disappointment.

I am still trying to figure out why they continue to do the same thing over and over and over again. I thought that was the definition of insanity. To do the same thing over and over and over again and expecting a different result.
