DUST Search - Is anyone else kind of underwhelmed by Warlords 1.0?

Quote:

I think we need to put things into context.

At FF 14, Rouge f*cked us over. We thought the game was dead, and had no idea what to expect from the future. Legion wasn't even "Green Lit," so even the PC gamers couldn't look forward to it.

Then along comes Rattati, making no promises, but arranging the numbers so that the weapons and dropsuits gradually become more and more balanced. We are told not to expect patches, and nothing was ever promised (hence the reason smart people said not to expect anything, contrary to what was said previously in the thread regarding those people).

Then we got 1.9, and 1.10.

Wow.

Suddenly we were getting real updates again! They weren't huge, and nothing massive was really added, but they were certainly larger changes than the hotfixes.

And now we are talking about content like warbarges and PC 2.0 that we thought were pipe dreams just a few months ago.

The content itself might not be huge an significant, but the fact we are here at all is.

I find lots of things that anger me about the game, and have played only once in 3 months or so because of it, but even I can acknowledge and be grateful that positive changes are occurring.

Heck, to put it into even more context, Alot of us thought those were pipe dreams back before Dust was officially put on indefinite hold no updates status. The fact that Rattati is making more meaningful* updates with a smaller team than his predecessor speaks volumes to me. I for one, am happy with the updates we have gotten. And I think it's important to mention the meaningful updates again. How many times did we wait several months to get a tweak to weapons or suits, then have to wait another couple of months for another tweak, then another tweak months down the road. Then we get smacked with, "we're so busy making tweaks we can't work on updates" Have we seen Rattati do this? Nope. What we see is Rattati asking players for help in balancing things, let's us know he's working on it, we get our hotfix/balance done, maybe a minor tweak, and a "Oh and by the way, 1.9/1.10 is coming out next week FYI surprise!" Honestly? I'd love to see Rattati in control of Legion.
