-Ferroscales not getting the efficacy bonus
-The redline timer being inaccurate and continuing even after you leave it

Depends what's fixed.
I think streamlining map design and player movement would be well worth it.
For example:
- Being able to hurdle over waist-height railings.
- If they made it so my character never had another seizure while moving or aiming on uneven terrain. I really hate that.
- Smoothing out all the terrain. Trust me, it sucks for new players to see someone run up a hill, try to follow, run into numerous invisible dead ends, start jumping, run out of stamina, see their 1 CM jump height, feel useless, then get killed in the back by protostompers. Let everyone run up hills!
- Better visual distinction of what can be walked up. Like above, if a player can't run over something, give some sort of visual cue. Most of the non-traversable terrain in Dust looks completely traversable, compounding the problem.
- LAV's should be way less clunky.
- Nerf camera shake. Make it shake less. Or make it proportional to fall height, so 1 CM drops don't move your reticle. Or make it only shake when you do the sprint-jump. In any case, I really want the jump-seizures to stop.
I'd be 100% down for this type of streamlining.
Who cares what some sniper has to say.

I don't see it happening though. The reality is Dust 514 does not offer enough content to generate consistent, steady profit on it's own merit. Every patch must have something that drives aurum sales. Without aurum sales CCP cannot justify keeping Dust 514 online.

That plays to the free to play mentality well, but I will pose a question to you.
If the games shooting and core mechanics are not optimized and streamlined will anybody new to the game put up with it?
The answer is no. The amount of weapons and gear doesn't play as big a role as you might think, other shooters have like CoD and battlefield have just as much content maybe even less in a way. I have said this a lot, how the game play as an FPS doesn't compare to its competitors.
Dust will not retain players because noobs will just think the controls and core shooter mechanics suck. All the shiny officer and aur gear and weapons will not compensate for poorly designed core mechanics.
It's like building a house, you don't start with walls and roofing, you start with the foundation.
If you can't read in between the lines, then what makes you think you can write?

No You start with a ft2 sustainable business plan that includes plenty of carrots instead sticks i.e. Warframe
Bugfixes and new content expansion simultaneously on that game
Versus Ccp ? Please ._.Two years ago folks wanted to PAY for custom area nameplate on suits and vehicles Ccp said no
Folks wanted custom colors Ccp said no
Folks wanted to PAY for custom laser colors
Ccp said no
Folks wanted to PAY for clan tag on suit and vehicle Ccp said no

That would be a great idea but there is a problem. The game needs to continue making money and that means Rattati has to maintain a balance between focusing on bug fixes and introducing more content.
Let me give you an analogy to better explain why.
Pretend that I am an aircraft mechanic working for an airline. A commercial jet rolls into the hangar and is due for an annual inspection. However, since the aircraft is needed in action as often as possible to maintain revenue for the airline and since an aircraft on ground is an aircraft that is NOT making any money, we already filed the necessary paperwork to perform a progressive inspection instead.
A progressive inspection is exactly like an annual inspection only it is performed at set intervals (usually every month) over the course of an entire year rather than being performed all at once. On the first month we inspect the wings. The following month we inspect the tail section. The month after that we inspect the landing gear, hydraulic & pneumatic systems, and so on and so forth until the 12th month when finally sign it off as completed and say it's airworthy. In the meantime, the aircraft continues to fly for the airline to make more money. This is preferred over doing the entire inspection process all in one go.
Congratulations, you just learned something new that you probably won't even bother to use for the rest of your life unless you're an aircraft mechanic like me.

I'm just recently certified and I was only using the airline part as an analogy. But a quick search on AviationPros reveals that you're talking about a power unit used for testing things like landing gear retraction or any other part of the aircraft that relies on hydraulic power. Given its design, I would probably say it's used on regional aircraft that are not too big.

PS: Sorry for throwing this thread off topic. I did not intend to turn this into a class covering the FARs.

Polish contains bug fixes, but also minor design changes to existing features.
Some stuff I find relevant: - The charge level of weapons is being displayed in the wrong place (bottom right) instead of center, where you'd need it. - There is no visual feedback when you're being repaired. - The bandwidth feature is still in early development stage. How much bandwidth am I using right now? - When trying to enter a vehicle but all seats are taken this isn't shown visually and the user is left to speculate (maybe lag?). - The match start procedure is still the same as back when designers thought fights would be multiple hours long by 2014. (Hint: "Deployment starts in 10 ... 9 ... 8" and then everyone spawns at the same time.) - The "Press R1 to see daily missions" button should not be visible on screen all the time. It stopped being a new feature and should go into one of the Neocom tabs. Maybe put a red exclamation mark there after each downtime until the person looked at it. - One of the shaders still goes wonky when being a gunner on a hardened vehicle. The same can be observed while hacking when the left arm is being lit. The bright parts slowly become brighter while the dark parts get darker. - When driving a vehicle you can't see the ammo on your gunners. - The match loading screens don't deliver relevant information. This has irked me since 2013. From my perspective this could help improve NPE significantly within 2 weeks, if somebody finally bothered to do it. (I've seen examples where loading screens even showed small first-person tutorial videos to explain how certain actions work. There's so much space for improvement.) - The aiming mechanics didn't receive a make-over since closed beta. We should at least get the possibility to manipulate sensitivity, non-linearity and deadzones for X and Y direction in the settings - maybe under an "advanced settings" tab. - I could go on. The gist of it is that Dust really needs some polish. |

That not surprising to be honest. Airlines, cargo companies, repair stations, and aircraft/engine manufacturers do things differently from each other depending on what's needed of the aircraft and under what Part of the FARs the aircraft operates in. Some places do what I like to call the Alphabet soup of Checks (A Check, B Check, C Check, etc.), some do annual inspections, others do progressive inspections, or some other form that is approved by both the manufacturer and the FAA.
By the way, you're lucky to be working for Northrop. That company has a lot of history.

Let me give you an analogy to better explain why.
Pretend that I am an aircraft mechanic working for an airline. A commercial jet rolls into the hangar and is due for an annual inspection. However, since the aircraft is needed in action as often as possible to maintain revenue for the airline and since an aircraft on ground is an aircraft that is NOT making any money, we already filed the necessary paperwork to perform a progressive inspection instead.
A progressive inspection is exactly like an annual inspection only it is performed at set intervals (usually every month) over the course of an entire year rather than being performed all at once. On the first month we inspect the wings. The following month we inspect the tail section. The month after that we inspect the landing gear, hydraulic & pneumatic systems, and so on and so forth until the 12th month when finally sign it off as completed and say it's airworthy. In the meantime, the aircraft continues to fly for the airline to make more money. This is preferred over doing the entire inspection process all in one go.
Congratulations, you just learned something new that you probably won't even bother to use for the rest of your life unless you're an aircraft mechanic like me. I work at Northrop Grumman. Just thought I'd throw that out there. Sounds like we do things a lot different. That not surprising to be honest. Airlines, cargo companies, repair stations, and aircraft/engine manufacturers do things differently from each other depending on what's needed of the aircraft and under what Part of the FARs the aircraft operates in. Some places do what I like to call the Alphabet soup of Checks (A Check, B Check, C Check, etc.), some do annual inspections, others do progressive inspections, or some other form that is approved by both the manufacturer and the FAA.

I fly on a lot of airplanes, does that count?

back then a dash sixty was a generator powering a blower turbine to startup f4 jet engines but sometimes the dash sixty was over rpm and the turbine flew past the f4 jet cockpit._._.Scary times

I'm just misunderstood.
Jk, I revel in the fact that people hate me. More people know who ****** is than Edward Snowden, afterall.

Aeon Amadi wrote:CCP put new content and balancing on hold for a month or two to work solely on nothing but bug fixes? Aeon, the bug focus would be difficult to honor. The current bug count is massive and a few months would scarcely scratch the surface. There are bugs that I have documented, analyzed and suggested possible methods to solve that are beyond any programmer working at CCP. The skill level is simply not there. Indeed, one suspects the level of skill has never been in attendance.
Additionally there are a list of problems that are commonly called bugs but are in truth the reality of the network/server/client architecture that CCP/Iceland has foisted upon CCP/Shanghai. That is not to mention the limitations of the PS3 itself, or upper management's decision to save money by not upgrading past Unreal Engine 3+. They have modified an underperforming game engine that the industry has gladly left behind and are loathe to spend real world cash on a fix. Indeed, as UE4 has yet to be released to PS3 the simplest path isn't even possible and truth be told wasn't all that simple a change as UE4 is a dramatic change.
Solving the hit box issues, burdensome graphic detail that is useless in game, educating the players such that they realize the server resolved them getting killed before they got around the corner and the bullet did not actually go through the corner. It was merely displayed as such by their client software.
The UI is not acceptable. But this is what we have, should they spend more hours on it or leave it alone? Whether you ask that question to a thousand different subjects the truth is CCP Rattati has the actual responsibility and, for the most part, has served Dust514 players better than they were served previously. I do have significant disagreement with some of his decisions, but I am not his manager nor does he gives a rat's behind about my preferences.
If we had a dozen bugs that were well known, prioritized correctly (as in agreement which is impossible by the very nature of these forums) then I would say go for it. However, the bugs are in the hundreds. Two additional programmers, of exceptional quality, would be necessary to add to the staff full time and I don't see that happening.
The best course would require addressing the mediocre and unbalanced input device handlers, clarifying the network/server/client relationship so the gamers can get realistic about what is actually happening in game, improving the network communications and a persistent dialing back of the graphic load (getting rid of the stupid moods would be great). Of course, as a player that tanks more than anything else fixing the horrendous problems with the turrets would be high on my list.
Please post again when you have a bug list that you propose they focus on.
My favorite tank is a Lightning. Just sayin.

-Blinks. Looks up at the stickied thread on GD. Looks back at this thread. Decides it's best just to let this one go.-

SOE did that to Planetside 2 for almost a year and it just about killed the game.
