The game you are playing is the game CCP/Shanghai Wants You To Play. They have rarely listened to the players, routinely ignore bugs and major play balance issues, often for months at a time. The basic functionality of the FPS portion of Dust (which is admittedly the entire thing) is broken. Guns don't fire, tanks have the same problems, forge guns are having them now as well* and hit detection is absolutely ... beyond bad.

The network architecture is horrifyingly slow. I was just playing with a friend near London and I am on the West coast of America. Rubber banding was not as bad as I saw it in PC matches but it was decidedly unplayable. We struggled through because this is Dust. This is how it is.


As for your suggestion ... Welcome To Dust.

* at least the forge gunners and the rail gun tankers are even when they try to shoot each other now. As in ... half the rounds rarely leave the weapon.

i have brought this up before a couple months back but it was rejected so i am posting again

i read the forums every day and all i see if people complaining about tanks


personally i don't think tanks are OP i just think the anti tank weapons are UP

i think range of swarms should be 200
damage per missile is 250 each that's 1000 for basic 1250 for advance and 1500 for proto i don't no much about forge guns as i don't use them

i think that if a prox mine and an remote mine are next to each other and someone runs over the prox mine the remote should blow up to i like that its in PC and factional but i personally think it should be in the public to :)

now the biggest problem i am seeing is tank spamming i thought about this and i come up with an idea a few months ago and no one took to this is what is it

restrict the amount of tanks you can put on the field per team down to 3 no if someone spawns a tank and it gets destroyed they can not spawn another tank for the remainder of the match this gives someone else in the team a chance to spawn there tanks basically first come first serve

that way you don't have 5 tanks running around in the match

personal opinion tanks shouldn't be in ambush its just easy kills and prob doesn't take much skill to do

or separate the ambush and OMS ambush back up and put tanks in the OMS one and not in the normal ambush


or create new maps were tanks are at a dis advantage like a giant city were u could be shot from anywere at any time like multi levels

not sure what you all think i bet a lot of tank players will dis agree fair enough im just putting the idea out there its not a complaint before someone posts :P

okay ... take a step back, and tell me... did you put "any" thought towards LAVs or dropships?

Yet what you have suggested will "directly" effect them both ... It is because of "buff this" and "nerf that", that this game has people complaining and whining all over about tanks and OP this, UP that.

stop, look at the whole picture, then repost an idea that doesn't involve a buff or nerf unless there is absolutely no other alternative or side effects.
