Soraya Xel Abandoned Privilege Top Men. 3979	Posted - 2014.10.06 21:09:00 - [1] - Quote Additionally to CCP Rattati, who was playing the game long before he was in charge of fixing the game, CCP Logibro was a player of the game before he was hired by CCP. The game is balanced both on statistics and player feedback, with input from the CPM as well. Unfortunately, it is impossible to run a test server for a PS3 game. We'd all love to have one, but it's just outside the scope of practicality. CPM1 Elect. Thanks for all your support. [email protected] for ideas, thoughts, and feedback.
Soraya Xel Abandoned Privilege Top Men. 3981	Posted - 2014.10.06 21:19:00 - [2] - Quote The reality on the ADS, was that it was an incredible outlier statistically. It's still overpowered, depending how you measure it, it's just... less OP now than it was before. Plenty of ADS players have stated otherwise, but they're also heavily biased, and the reality is, they're just closer to the level of play others experience now. CPM1 Elect.

Are we just going to overlook them snubbing us at EVE Fanfest and pretty much killing Dust and waiting out the Sony contract to end so they can maybe get a green light on Legion? FYI: This whole thing about waiting out a Sony contract for greenlighting bit... complete nonsense. Tinfoiling at it's best. CPM1 Elect. Thanks for all your support.

Sure, they reduced the RoF, but it still does a metric ton of damage per shot, even without a damage mod or prof. Yes, look at the Bolt Pistol. Where CCP Rattati almost immediately deployed tweaks to bring it back in line after it turned out to be more powerful than intended. And of course, that's even prior to running a sidearm event where valuable balance data on sidearms can be collected for use in further tweaks. CPM1 Elect. Thanks for all your support.

Like... nothing internally tested ever compares to how it performs on live servers. From way back in my earlier MMO days back in 2007 this was apparent. You could even see as a build that was totally playable on the WoW test server explode fantastically the moment it was applied to the live servers. Also, players tend to be more varied in skill and playstyle than the devs, and will often be more likely to discover "unintended" abilities that the devs would not think to test. Internal testing is good, and CCP could definitely afford to do a lot more of it. But it's really not a conclusive answer. CPM1 Elect. Thanks for all your support.

From my personal understanding, it's near impossible to deploy test code to PlayStations via Sony's QA requirements. As far as I'm aware, that's why DUST doesn't have a test server. Would love to know if I'm wrong. CPM1 Elect. Thanks for all your support. [email protected] for ideas, thoughts, and feedback.
Soraya Xel Abandoned Privilege Top Men. 3989	Posted - 2014.10.06 23:06:00 - [7] - Quote If you're referring to beta before game release, we had that. For a long time. But like, if these games had a whole second copy of the game you could test out updates before they went to the main game, that I don't think has ever been possible on PS3. CPM1 Elect.

Soraya Xel Abandoned Privilege Top Men. 3997	Posted - 2014.10.07 02:49:00 - [8] - Quote Rami Hamilo wrote: They only took it out of beta because of Sony and their timeline for the game. This is also baseless speculation. Though I think the beta was handled poorly, as many of the issues we had with the game should've been resolved long prior to release. But it had nothing to do with Sony. And yes, the devs working on balance changes play the game. Just because they disagree with you doesn't mean they don't play. ;) CPM1 Elect.
