All this fluff still doesn't mean **** if the game still runs like **** ... https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=187433
Although I don't see much of that stuff happening. By the time Phase 1 has its bugs worked out the player base will be under 2k concurrent, and development halted... |

By the time Phase 1 has its bugs worked out the player base will be under 2k concurrent, and development halted... This is what is bothering me. Most of this new ''content is smoke and mirrors, tbh. Where it does contact actual in-match gameplay, i.e. the warbarge, it's an arbitrary and immersion-breaking kludge that make very little sense. It's also potentially harmful, given the way Rattai was so willing to propose in-match damage bonuses - he should have been the one fighting marketing on that. Instead, once again, it's left to the playerbase to defend DUST. There are many ways to fix PC, this warbarge mechanic is totally unnecessary. This is a mechanic driven almost solely by a marketing model, imo. That marketing model is obviously bad for the game and really doesn't have any respect for DUST's core FPS gameplay or New Eden itself.
Yeah, and it's unbelievably frustrating to anyone (vet or new comer) who has put time and money into Dust and who is awake enough see what's going on..
Then we have Rattati posting in this thread like he cares for the players and/or game.. I really want to believe him and I like what he has done so far outside of the strong boxes..
But when threads like above go unmentioned and have seemingly little concern to Rattati and friends. It's hard to stay positive, because anyone who can think outside of the shiny things mentality can see this game for what it is and realize why people have and continue to leave.. I would go on but that threads sums it up nicely...

With respect, have you ever been positive?
Sure... Everything before 1.4 in Uprising I believe ? There may of been a few negative post here and there back in chromosome but I like to think they were all warranted.
You ever hear the phrase "There is no such thing as bad publicity except your own obituary." I'd rather have people pointing out the bad then reading about Dust in the obituary...

And that makes me a sad merc.
Me too The current code is unplayable at times and I believe that's the reason why some of us are so adamant about the core being fixed first before more aesthetics. I really think CCP needs to just come clean and pick which side of the fence their playing on.
Maybe it's just me but if CCP actually told us where our money was going or at least where our investments would end up I would feel more comfortable continuing to spend more time and money on a half baked product...
Some may say that's none of our business.. I don't know about everyone else but I don't typically like I investing time or money into a product that may be temporary or on the verge of going under.. Outside of the roadmap and Trello board the backbone to Dust being the PS3 has an obvious self life...

Announce something and then leave us dead in the water. It's ridiculous to expect us to spend money on your game when we haven't had news on Legion in months. My guess is because Rattati has nothing to do with Legion and is simply trying to make Dust the best it can be. No point in trying to control what is out of your hands. And when some of the upper management run things so poorly, its pretty much all the people further down the hierarchy that have to step up and do what they can.
That's awesome and I have respect for Rattati for that but can you honestly tell me he truly doesn't know where Dust/Legion is headed after the ps3. ? If he does and it doesn't benefit the current "paying player base" all the shiny additions could be considered very manipulative and seen as a pretty shady business practice in the future.. Especially if the future isn't transparent to the paying customer.. :-/ |

And even if they did, if he has no say in the matter, why not just make Dust the best it can be? I see no point to hold Rattati accountable for a company that has obvious management issues. I would rather just enjoy a ride that is lasting longer and doing better than what it sounded like it would at FF. As far as I am concerned all this extra stuff is just a major bonus.
I like that attitude I really wish I could enjoy the ride and even throw a tip to the operator on each go around. But CCP as a whole is making it incredibly hard for me to throw more money at them and trust me I want too!
But I can't for the same reason I don't play single player games or CoD shooters for that matter. They all eventually come to an end and sit on our shelves collecting dust... Dust is supposed to be a living breathing persistent shooter. A lot of people including myself have spent $100s of dollars on Dust because we truly loved what it is and had faith on what it was to become.
There is no more 10 year plan, no more highlights at Fanfest to look forward too. Not even word on Legion, the one thing that would get a minority of us to actually start investing again.. You said it yourself you're enjoying the ride while it lasts. I'm here with you buddy, but if you paid to get on you should hold the park responsible for keeping you on the rails... |
