Speaking of which, IGÇÖll get back to you guys next week with more info on how weGÇÖll proceed for DUST. Our plan is to be as transparent as possible, which I know itGÇÖs easy to say now, but itGÇÖs what weGÇÖre working towards. Your primary point of contact in the dev team, which IGÇÖll introduce next week, will have the mission to engage with you all and of course CPM as early as possible. Stay tuned, I think you'll like him. :) Again, IGÇÖm super eager to hear what you have to say and trust me, every post is being read by the team and I. YouGÇÖll see more of us engage with you all moving forward.
Game balance:
1) Something really needs to be done with swarm damage applying properly (there are numerous videos detailing this)
2) Swarms range- Swarms are useless against dropships, as most simply fly out of range and continue to bombard with impunity
3) Dropship pilots- Seems to me that there are few opportunities for pilots to really earn SP- perhaps they should get a bonus or more SP for kills/ferrying
4) Tankers/Turrets- Perhaps they should get less SP/WP per infantry kill and more for vehicle kills
Other stuff-- Is it possible to fix the terrain for movement/running? I know this may not be a simple fix, but running/walking/jumping are necessary mechanics for any fps. It reflects poorly on CCP when it's still broken this late in the game. Specifically:
1) Having running interrupted and either stopped or forced into walking by small obstructions/falls.
2) When climbing up the sides of mountains, until you know the map, it can be a crap shoot whether or not the surface is climbable (two surfaces at the same incline, and one is scalable, while the other is not).
3) Randomness of not being able to run all the time, or at the incorrect speed.
Also, it seems that numerous skills are not applying correctly- whether it's damage, speed, or armor bonuses. These should be fixed, or the skills removed from the skill tree- since they're wasted points.
Moo.
