PS2 has moving compass too.

CCP MC Peanut has been working on a moving compass prototype. Look at the top of the screen. It looks promising. Right now it only has the azimuth number, but he intends to add the letters for North, South, East, and West.

really? its small but its a start, any other common sense features they adding u know of?

We've added a new HUD system that allows us to more easily, on the content side, add things like a 'compass' without the direct support of Engineers. There was a great discussion on this in another thread and there were a lot of cool ideas that I've passed onto the team. Feel free to pose your own specific ideas/requests and I'll try my best to explain how it could/could not be done. I can't make any promises that it *will* be done. But I can say we've already had lots of feedback that has made us re-think things.

link to the thread or should we post here?

Options are good and prone is exactly that, another option. You're the same guys crying about FF being on. You're whats wrong with Dust.

Prone has the more common issues, first being head glitching, In most games the FPS camera is higher than the character's head. Second is a rapid to prone has caused hit box issues and turns into a 'crutch' mechanic. While I am not against prone it needs to have proper care into it. Proximity chat if done poorly has been many games and I feel the feature is not worth it. I rather see effort push forward into the voice channel management to allow commands and squad commands and voice hierarchy.

VR training rooms however are worth it as its a good will and training means. Agree. This is exactly why I mentioned slowing the mechanic way down so "rapid to prone" is not possible. Make it a detriment in combat and you fix the dolphin diving foolishness. Prone isn't a problem as much as its poor implementation. IMO prox chat is a must even if its just for allies. No military unit would cut off communication between squads. VR Training has been a staple suggestion since the game dropped, that one''s pretty much a no-brainer.

Dr Dammit Sognariket Logistics 56	Posted - 2014.06.04 17:05:00 - [37] - Quote I remember when they removed prone in Battlefield Bad Company. Good God, the outrage. There's other uses for prone than sniping and it should definitely be in there (as long as it's properly implemented. There has to be a small downside to it). Proximity chat I'm not so sure about. Everyone will be using Teamspeak anyway, and I would assume that Legion-bunnies have proper comms in their suits. Shouting at people shouldn't be necessary (unless you want to sneak up on people and scare the bejeezus out of them. Can be hilarious in games like DayZ). VR training is a no-brainer. It exists today in our world, so it should exist in a future with immortal clones, spaceships and railguns. Same principle as not jumping in a helicopter to "try out the controls", you try a simulator first. Massive battles. Yes please. I've already said in other threads that I'm opposed to the idea of districts and maps in the first place. Just give us some huge environments and the tools to build and destroy stuff and generally mess around (Think Rust meets Planetside and planetary exploration from Mass Effect). The fewer gameplay restrictions the better.

Therefore I have balls of steel compared to you. That is hardcore. On Twitter: @HilmarVeigar #greenlightlegion #dust514 players are waiting.

Now everyone can clearly see that you are just hating for the sake of hating prone with absolutely no rational thought put into it. God, you're like that one guy I know in real life who hates R.O.B. in Super Smash Bros. Brawl for absolutely no reason other than to just hate it. He hates R.O.B. so much that he hopes Nintendo gets rid of him in the next game. Although I wonder if he hates R.O.B. because he somehow replaced Krystal.

EDIT: Also, 1: elite players complain about the battles not meaning anything 2: teamspeak exists sadly, so prox chat is useless. 3: a lot of other games have training rooms and Prone. Your point? http://youtu.be/Vh_nBeP80ac Pretty much this. This video seems like a very clear indication on what's wrong with PS2. If anything, the problems that PS2 is experiencing right now look very familiar. It's as if Dust's problems have somehow translated over to PS2. Funny. Also, Teamspeak is popular in literally every game owned by anyone with a PC. Hell, you can even use TS on your phone while playing on a console. WoW, GW, EVE, TF, etc. It's a very powerful tool. Eve Online has a built-in voice chat feature but hardly anyone uses it and powerful alliances often discourage its use among their ranks. TS trumps all means of in-game communications. It's the iPhone of the gaming community and it's competitor is Mumble. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WF1tw3Zcvo8 This video killed my sever; literally. We have never recovered the population.
