Cal Predine StarKnight Security 61	Posted - 2014.10.19 13:08:00 - [1] - Quote This has always been the problem killing Dust, and I'm pretty sure it's a network effect that's causing it. And much as I agree with you, that is desperately needs to be fixed, I think if CCP wanted to save Dust they would have investigated it by now. It's a core fault preventing player adoption or retention, but they have concentrated on "bling" rather than substance. Icing the cake with new weapons and modules is irrelevant if the cake stinks like a 4-week-old trout - it's still not going to catch your appetite... For what it's worth, this is why I haven't played for many months, but I recently thought "what the hell - let's try"... A quarter of a match later I switched the console off in disgust, as I consistently out-manoeuvred my enemies only to find point-blanking them in the back had almost no effect - they just turned, acquired me, and shot me down before their shields were half gone. Same as always. This problem tends to follow certain enemy players around, and (for me) the main problem appears (based upon languages used) to be linked to payers from 2 countries in particular, and affects them pretty consistently. I'm not suggesting that all players from those countries are cheating (I doubt that most are even aware - they probably just assume they're great players), I am suggesting that there is some issue which gives them an insurmountable edge, and messes with the game of anyone targeting them, reducing them to stutter-vision. hence the conclusion that it's a network issue. I've done network analysis and posted results enough times in the past to know CCP aren't going to address this, but I did want to say "no - you're not imagining this". And no, I'm not going to name the countries. That's not the issue here. It's easy to get a feel for this - look at YouTube videos of Dust, and if (like me) you wonder in frustration "how are they getting so much damage on target!?!?" then there you have it - it's because their game experience is very different to yours. Let's hope CCP try to get it right for Legion. PS3 Slim - Hybrid hard drive with 8GB SSD - South Coast UK - Virgin media cable BB, 20Mbps down, 2Mbps up.
