Uprising has had its ups and downs, but for the better part of the past year it has not been diverse. For months on end, 9/10 mercs in any battle ran Rifles. And until just recently, 9/10 mercs in any battle ran Med Frames.

To those "Drama Llamas" so overcome with grief, look at the battlefield around you. There are Heavies, Scouts, Tanks, Dropships, Logis, Assaults ... even Commandos! Look at the Killfeed. It no longer reads Duvolle, Gek, Duvolle, Exile, Core Locus. Each and every match you play features a diverse landscape that we wouldn't have thought possible six months ago. What we're observing today is clear indication that we are moving in the right direction.

Of course things need polish here and there, but can we not give CCP credit where it is due?

Kudos CCP for reshaping the battlefield.
Exmaple would be proud.

I still don't see laser unless its mine.

Kudos CCP for reshaping the battlefield. Exmaple would be proud. Cloaking to attack invisibly, mil tanks being just as good as sp invested tanks and increased dancing, jumping and ballet maneuvering is NOT moving in the right direction. You are pointing out diversity of items but at what cost to see those get used? Things are getting sillier. This is not the same kind of diversity as before. This is diversity at the expense of neutering something else and simplifying the equation rather than developing it. CCP Have had to simplifiy things as a quick fix because they can't keep up with good development esp when they have other basic problems that are raking priority. Sure it all looks cool if you are just a console kiddie not looking beyond the in game specticle. Don't let mere killfeed data trick you as to what is really going on. Look at the game from a company point of view as a product that needs to succeed by standing out rather than blending in. In this regard it is failing. Brick tanking a scout suit since April 2013!

Vrain Matari Mikramurka Shock Troop Minmatar Republic 1915	Posted - 2014.04.05 03:19:00 - [11] - Quote +1 OP. Putting other issues aside(and there are, after all, so many) this patch achieved it's goal: balancing, suit role definition, race role definition. There is some bleedover, some obsolescence, some UP and some OP, but it's not bad considering how much has changed. That doesn't happen by accident: CCP made some good decisions in executing a complex task. Furthermore, this is DUST's first true balancing pass - there will be adjustments, and when other content is released we will have other balancing passes. If CCP can execute on those future releases as well as they have with 1.8 then DUST will evolve towards being a balanced game packed interesting choices and tradeoffs. I support SP rollover.

Also, yeah the game needs some more tweaks, I feel it's getting direction. It's getting a voice, it just need to learn to sing with it.

The fact is, having a primary weapon that is, by design, gimped within 40m, while not having a real range advantage over weapons with no such restriction, is never going to be popular.

Yes, there are problems but it's better to see people not using just one single thing like they did for months and months in Uprising. Whatever Operative might have to say about it, diversity is moving in the right direction; problems come along and they can be solved but the foundation is getting to the right place gradually. Until now it has been in entirely the wrong place. Dedicated sidearm scout - Watch out for that headshot Scout community is the nuts

You generally don#t seem happy with the game and **** on it at every corner. Don't you have anything better to do or better to play or do you like wasting your life on things you don't deem worthwhile? Seriously, I feel sorry for people like you.

Aikuchi Tomaru Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 2142	Posted - 2014.04.05 13:12:00 - [19] - Quote 1.8 is just awesome. As soon as the event is over and I can actually use weapons I really want to use instead of side weapons only. But so far I'm running a caldari commando and this is how things go: "Rail Rifle guy? ***** charge! Sucker got nothing on my shields!" " FUCK **! WHERE DID THAT LASER RIFLE GUY COME FROM! RUN!" Before 1.8 every weapon was dangerous. Your fitting didn't matter. Armor or shieldtank? Who cares? eHP was important. And even then TTK was way too short. Now I actually have to be careful and look what weapons my enemies are using. Because for once people really use different weapons. It got way more interesting playing Dust. Also shield tanking modules like reducing time to recharge make now sense, because you actually may be able to fight one guy long enough.
