4. Direct access to the Singularity Test server in addition to direct access to the Tranquility Live server without having to rely on regional servers. The danger of bricking the PC after connecting to the test server is noticeably less since it can handle unoptimized code better than a console can because a console is primarily meant to play finished, optimized games like CoD, Metal Gear, etc. And as we all saw back in Closed Beta when Dust was once connected to the Singularity Test server, many PS3 got turned into bricks due to the server's unoptimized and unstable nature. Eve Online players on the other hand suffered little to no bricking of their desktops with the exception of what happened in 2011.
+1 but you probably didn't know about this gem from back in '07
Nothing like wiping your entire OS. . .

4. Listen, just because you re-write the same exact thing again doesn't change that it is completely false. Ps3s were bricking because CCP wrote bad code, not because of singularity. The PC has no more wiggle room for horrible code, as is evidence by CCP's bad code frying motherboards left and right with ambulation, or "bricking" PCs with the boot.ini fiasco.
5. I am VERY familiar with CCP's track record with bots. They ban them after those bots are used for 6 months, then within 2 weeks they are all back for another 6 months.
EDIT: Also, people were fine with DUST 514 moving to a new platform, people are NOT FINE with Dust 514 being shelved. Know the difference. No one expected PS3 Dust 514 forever, they did expect DUST 514 to last though, actually that is exactly what they were promised numerous times by multiple people from CCP.
I thought it was certain graphics cards, ie unsupported ones that was the issue. Some ATI users had issues I thought. I never had a problem and I's had the same crap ATI card since before Incarna.
Actually, they have been doing pretty damn good on the bot front these days. High sec & null used to be full of 'em chock a block. See them rarely now and they tend not to come back.
I am perfectly fine with DUST morphing into Legion. Not fine with they way the handled it at the DUST keynote, u thta is different from the actual product they want to release. Also, I doubt that they will shut off the switch until there is either have a working Legion, or upkeep is prohibitively expensive. If They figure out how to do a migration, then likely the player population would be pretty steady, given people will see that their time is not "wasted" playing the game.
Nothing you say is going to make CCP say "Hey, you know, we'll put this PC Legion thing on the back burner until Sony tells us they are going to stop supporting the PS3." That would be ******** form a business stand point. I am not sure if you just want to wipe out the existence of a EVE based shooter in any form or what. . . |
