I'm temporarily coming out of forum retirement to save you some trouble:
NOTE: I'm not replying to any criticisms to my post.
1) TTK has been adjusted (i.e. overall damage reduction of most weapons) for Infantry and Vehicles, IMO, it's overall better
2) 1 less nade in clip. shield extenders adjusted to yield more hp, armor mods cost more PG except for Reactive and ferrorscale which was reduced, a few new weapons (fun but not a big deal), MLT variants of all "new" Light/Heavy weapons, new suits, cloaks (i.e. invisibility), suit bonuses are more diverse
3) The majority of the same bugs such as lag, hit detection, sprint glitch, misfires of forges, etc. Some have been fixed such as proficiencies for av weapons against vehicles
4) Vehicles have been nerfed to the toilet
5) Red line sniping from both vehicles and snipers has increased dramatically
6) Dying in the red line when there is 7 or 8 seconds left still happens
7) Fatal Errors are far less and scotty isn't drunk anymore
8) Maps have removed some installations to increase load times. Seems to work well.
9) Legion is going to be a replacement for dust but on the PC
10) CCP has confirmed that it would be easy to migrate SP and ISK to Legion. Other posts imply they have no plans to do so even if they can but nothing explicit. Personally, CCP's track record indicates they will NOT transfer anything to legion for any veterans. In addition, I believe the company will be fully bankrupt or an EVE only developer within a year or two. My quick justification is that it would hurt revenue as people would have no incentive in purchasing through micro transactions. I also think there is a solid likelihood of a subscription based fee. Again, this is if the game can get off the ground. They have a smaller developer team than they had when they started Dust and have hired no additional, experienced FPS veterans in the game development community.
11) CCP has laid off a reasonably large amount of their staff in the past year to include their entire Atlanta Office
12) WoD was cancelled to focus on eve
13) Dust has been cancelled and has a skeleton dev team (as mentioned above) working on the game. They have made it very clear they will not be doing any more client updates (i.e. updates that require the Dust install on the PS3 to change)
14) It has been confirmed on more than one occasion that there will be no further console development other than Valkerye, which I believe will be cancelled as well. I don't know why anyone would think it is remotely possible to be on PS4.
15) They are releasing hotfixes based on player inputs on the forums. note that most of these players are not in the monthly top performers or even top few hundred in most cases. Some provide inputs that haven't played for months and some have even biomassed and, on the forums, pretend that they still play. It's sad.
16) Major vehicle change is that swarms do 120% damage against incubus armor as opposed to 59%. It's actually kind of rad.
17) AV nades have increased damage but still only 2 in clip size
18) Uplink times are far slower making uplink spam a problem BUT people search out, typically, the proto ones to spawn in the fastest possible. Starting spawn time is 15 seconds. The best proto is between 5 and 6 seconds by default.
19) Blaster tanks have much higher spray after about 20 to 30 meters so infantry have a better chance to survive but still have some effectiveness against other vehicles.
20) Rail turret damage (installation and tank) has been reduced
21) Nerfed vehicle damage mods
22) non OMS ambush has completely done away with Vehicles
23) CPM doesn't play but for some reason CCP keeps reassuring people that they spoke with CPM and have come to some conclusion. It's kind of hilarious actually.
24) CCP did a beta data analysis to find out that 90% of the forum names don't even show up in the top kills any given week. I laughed aloud at work when I read that.
25) PC doesn't really matter. A lot of the major district holders are giving away districts or selling them for real cheap.
26) FW has died quite a bit. Few players play it.
27) When it was announced that DUST was "done" a lot of vets and regular players actually biomassed...for real. They aren't coming back. A lot stopped playing completely. EVE also saw a total drop in player base.
28) There was a really popular article by The Guardian (I think) from former CCP devs who gave insight to what they experienced at CCP. It was enlightening to say the least.
29) The new Transformers movie is quite terrible but I guess I am just on Bay's N-Sack cuz I still liked it. Logically, it was terrible. The action and transformer loving freak in me loved it. Maybe an entire hour too long honestly.
30) Atiim and I agreed on a few things when it came to scouts. That was huge step for us haha.
31) Trying to think of other things here. Hmmm, no hard date for Dust's end.
32) CCP still can't come up with a good event.
33) QQ still happens by the same people as it did 6 months ago. Nothing is every right in the game unless their one strategy works but everyone else is FoTM. Not sure which category you were in.
I'm gonna say that sums it up.
EDIT:
34) Your $$$ contributions were pointless.
35) There is a huge movement on the forums and in the Dust game to play Destiny. Might want to jump on that. I know I will.
PSN is "Ekopalm"
I play D3, Child of Light, and solo games
Also, Proto Trolling until I'm broke...
