Kasote Denzara A Vulture 2326	Posted - 2014.10.14 06:09:00 - [1] - Quote What is the state of Dust 514 at this point? Is it still lag + turbo controller = win or has people actually grown a pair since the last time I played? Has the rubberbanding and frame drops been addressed yet? I suppose ultimately my question is: is Dust 514 worth coming back to? Sure, I could read the patch notes and Dev posts, but I'd sooner heed the word of the actual players. Being around in the beta times, I'm sure it's within imagination I'm a bit iffy towards what the devs say. This is a signature. You have been enlightened.

Scrambler nerfed Flaylock ok again AR buffed Scouts and heavies and Rail Rifles everywhere vehicles aren't god mode either Snipers got range reduction in exchange for better damage potential. Dropships got hp buff, while Assault Dropships got a cost decrease and rof nerf. ScR got an actual kick similar to that of the old TAR, but not as much. Assault ScR got a heat build up nerf. Projectile weapons got rebalanced (-15% shields; +15% armor) Flaylock pistols got combat buffed (extra missile for non-variants, now do headshot damage, slight increase in range and missile travel speed, and all tiers now have a unison splash range). Ion Pistol got buffed. More ammo (both in mag and reserves) and a RoF increase. Bolt Pistol got buffed (200ish damage per shot in exchange for 2 less bullets per mag). Scrambler Pistol... forgot if it changed 4-6 months ago. If so, I don't know how. I think scouts got their bonuses changed within the time frame you specified. Minmatar Scout has knife and hack speed bonus. Amarr Scout has precision, max. stamina, and stamina regen. Caldari Scout has range and dampening. Gallente Scout has Precision and Dampening. -Too lazy to write out the numbers. Assaults got extra slots and I believe extra health. Minmatar suits got more health (except Scout). Burst HMG got buffed. The rof per burst is insane, but the pause between burst is moderate. Plasma Cannon got damage, and travel speed buff. AR variants got buffed. -Breach does more damage. -Burst has 4 rounds per burst instead of 3, and more damage. -Tactical has better hipfire, less kick, and more damage. Assault SMG now has less bullets per mag. Pretty sure Breach SMG got a slight buff, but not sure by how much. Basic Variant is now king. STD and ADV knives got a damage, aim adhesion, and range buff. Ummm, that's all I could name on top of my head. EDIT: Swarm Launcher missile travel time is increased. EDIT: Afterburner Speeds have been nerfed. Is Dust worth coming back to? It depends. Do you have people that are fun to squad up with in this game?

Kasote Denzara A Vulture 2326	Posted - 2014.10.14 09:04:00 - [5] - Quote I decided to hop on just to see how everything is. I have a question of upmost importance. When did the Gallente Commando turn pink/purple? I... don't remember it being those colors. I remember our turtles being a bit more white. This is a signature. You have been enlightened.

CCP Rattati C C P C C P Alliance 8604	Posted - 2014.10.14 09:41:00 - [6] - Quote Are you being scanned? I haven't been scanned since the Active Scanner execution of 1.8? "As well as stupid, Rattati is incredibly slow and accident-prone, and cannot even swim"

Dropships, specifically. My (apparently) fabulous Commando is unable to dodge them. Ahh, but watching them crash and burn from the Plasma Cannon (which took me a few moments to get used to again, that speed change makes a difference) is just so worth it. I've also decided to dump into Assault. Being a turtle is fine and all, but I miss running around and pew pew pewing with a medium that isn't my logibro. This is a signature.

That's.. actually what I'm using. Or attempting to, rather. Being shot in that back with protogear on spawn isn't exactly a motive to even play. This is a signature. You have been enlightened.

A sample of of what he has done so far https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=topics&f=1775 He purposely avoided dev posts to get player opinion... and you knew that. You see this is why people think you come off as a jerk. He has no idea who CCP Rattati is or what he has done. So the correct response is to give him your player opinion like he asked... as such CCP Rattati took charge of dust and laser focused on many of the balancing issues surrounding the game. Yes I know CCP has been doing this for a long time now but this is the first time where most players are happy with most of the changes. Almost everyone agrees that the game is more fun now than it has ever been in the past. If you decide to play, you may be rusty but stick with it and I think you may enjoy these matches. But do not just take my word for it... here is a link to the dev blogs and a countless number of changes that have been made thanks to CCP Rattati. : A sample of of what he has done so far https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=topics&f=1775 Its never taken me so long to get 50 likes to break 25k Conclusion:Dust community prefers puppies > cats Sorry catmerc

Because a basic one only picks up heavies and assaults with no ewar skills. Its only good at proto on a gal logi. You made it rather crap.
Brush Master Onslaught Inc RISE of LEGION 1304	Posted - 2014.10.16 14:17:00 - [12] - Quote The nerf to active scanner pretty much ended all but the most dedicated of scanner logis. I think if you would reduce the delay or have ones with greater range/scan area, it may encourage some use again. Dust Veteran. June 2012 - ? True Logi. Flying DS from the start. @dustreports
Duke Noobiam Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 192	Posted - 2014.10.16 15:56:00 - [13] - Quote The game is better than ever. Specifically... 1. Balance is at an all time high. 2. Team balancing has greatly improved the competitiveness of battles. There is much less redlining going on then before and Ambush battles come down to the wire very often. 3. There seems to be much less proto-stomping then before. I believe this is due to ending the passive ISK generation from planetary conquest. That said, EVE is still a harsh place and being a DUST merc can still be trying at times, but the game is way more fun now. How do you kill that which has no life?

I may be missing something, but I'm pretty sure that I didn't call for a tank nerf before Uprising 1.7. - Atiim
