I wouldn't put soon on it.

I would be ok with this.

It is also a factor of low hanging fruits versus the "recook" issue. Basically, some content like textures requires a recook of assets, which leads to everyone needing to download the whole client again, sometimes partially but sometimes the whole X GB the client is.

We can do it, but there are many things I would like to tweak/fix before we bother the playerbase with a full client re-download.

If the content gets created, by either the DUST 514 or Legion team, we can push it out.

Yeah, the cost for CCP of doing a clientside update isn't relevant at all....

I'm pretty sure the entire (LOL) Dust playerbase is more than willing to downlad the entire game over and over again if that means they'll get more content.

Rattati, I thought you where special

No the cost isn't relevant at all...

I personally want more interesting game modes.
I can deal with not having Minmatar/Amarr vehicles and Gallente/Caldari Heavy Weapons, heck I can deal with DUST if it only had the weapons from Chromosome, even the suits from Chromosome, just give me something interesting to use them in.

Skirmish is boring, Domination is boring, Ambush is boring, Ambush OMS is still tankfest and boring.

How much money does CCP need to give Sony to do one more patched update? Because it is absolutely ridiculous that there are no plans to add Amarr/Minmatar vehicles as well as Amarr/Gallente heavy weapons. "With 1.8 we achieved racially parity" lol.

Not a good answer, I think that every single person here would gladly let their PS3 download a "recook" and have a better game than you picking low hanging fruit for the next 6 months.

The cat nailed it.

In the long run, most players can tolerate imbalance, poor game performance etc.

But having very boring game modes, like the current "keep that thing blue or shoot those dudes", which is all you really have, will eventually put players off. How many refferences have I seen on these forums with people looking back with great nostalgia for Skirmish 1.0? - Even With the performance we hhad back then....

Something progressive or by all means up the player Count.

- Rattati, have you guys actually tried simply beefing up the player count in excisting gamemodes? Will game performance crash and burn or will it merely give a little more lag? Could you perhaps check if possible?

I am sure that the entire community would be extatic over a week with Skirmish 32 vs 32, no matter the amount of lag/crashes....

I'd definately og and download it again dude to either a New mode or upped player Counts....

SANDBOX DISTRICTS COMPLETE WITH SECURITY STATUS & PVE FOR DUST 2.0!!!!

Agreeing that game modes are one of the BIGGEST contributing factors to player content and experience. And they have been still so long that they are inadequate.


KingB, while I consider increasing player count to be huge improvement, with all due respect I disagree upping it at any cost.
I in fact have been voicing the approach "If the game can't handle current (pc) player count then decrease it until it works"

Cancel Legion if you think this is an issue. We are your priority. Just finish our game and we'll let you finish yours.

So your basically saying we might get a client update soon.

Reading the header line and first lines of the text I was really excited:
This guy's gonna address big issues and wake the community to demand further developement of Dust after all!


Then he was asking for... Just new toys.

Thing I hope get's retouched if they do get around to client side updates: is PC. And just take the gloves off and make it easy to participate and accessible to all. Give DUST an end game and place where creating an active corporation around isn't just the same old guard.

What you call "new toys" I call "completing the game." This is fundamentally core content that is absent from the current game.

No it's not. There were so many things on the drawing board and once one item was produced then the audiences hunger for more cried for next thing.
Race on the description is just a word. So what if some 'race' doesn't have item x. This is not D&D, in dust you actually can use other races - or corporations for that matter - items.

Masses always want new toys. Always. If masses had their way the gameplay itself wouldn't be improved, just new fancy toys would had to be mass produced.

Race is not just a tag on an item, it implietertain set of attributepeng the full compliment of racial vehicles designed with different tanking types (whether that is shield, armor, speed, regen) and weapons/turrets with different damage types (laser, projectile, plasma, rail) are absolutely core content necessary for completing the game, not "new toys." New toys would be wanting fighter jets or MTACs or something like that, what is suggested in this thread is the full line up of racial content that would have attributes needed to achieve balance and thus complete the game.

Let's imagine for a second if the Combat Rifle and Rail Rifle were never introduced to the game in Uprising 1.7. So our only frontline rifles would be the Plasma Assault Rifle and the Scrambler Rifle, both with damage profiles oriented towards taking out shield users. That would give armor tankers even more of an edge and really screw up the balance. But would you accuse anyone back then for wanting Combat Rifles and Rail Rifles to simply be whining for new toys? This is exactly the same reason why we are asking for the remaining line up of racial heavy weapons, vehicles, and consequently turrets. It is NOT new toys, it is core content needed to achieve proper balance.

You have the racial slot layouts wrong just like the assault's slot layouts; Caldari is supposed to have 4/1, Minmatar 3/2, Gallente 2/3, Amarr 1/4.
