To me 1.8 seems like a blur of goodness and weirdness. On one hand you have all the cool toys CCP has given us (i.e. Racial fits and weapons) and on the other hand we have crap loads of bugs, which vary from pre-existing glitches in previous patches to new bugs in the dropsuit layouts and in specific areas of the game, like some of the loyalty store reward issues where the mk.0 scout has 3 equipment slots. I think CCP had the right idea of where this game needed to go, but I don't think they had enough time to implement proper debugging procedures and really clean out some of the issues that are currently going on in 1.8. I would have rather had CCP worked longer and fix the bugs than the current situation.

They had plenty of time considering what has changed was a few new models, plus some database changes and one truly new mechanic - cloaking.

What they don't have is manpower, creativity or talent. I don't see how that's going to change.

ANON Cerberus Tiny Toons 360	Posted - 2014.03.26 16:09:00 - [5] - Quote I feel like CCP literally rushed over the past month or so to get 1.8 out as they obviously had not really been developing this since the time 1.7 dropped. Just look at some of the new heavy suits, especially the Caldari sentinel. It looks messy and totally unfinished. I have never had a huge amount of confidence in this game but after 1.8 dropped I think I have next to none now.
Disturbingly Bored Forum Warfare 2073	Posted - 2014.03.26 16:16:00 - [6] - Quote Honestly, I always expected 1.8 to be a mess. It's impossible for it to not be with the huge list of things CCP is adding and changing. My hope is still that 1.8 "Hotfix Edition!" or 1.9 will be good. Dust kinda follows a "CONTENT DUMP FIX FIX FIX CONTENT DUMP FIX FIX FIX" format. I used to own the FAT GAT until this --> [ASCII Art removed - *draconian forum overlord* CCP Logibro]
