I don't know how people continue with the "they don't want to commit without being able to deliver" mantra.

It's becoming harder and harder to have quality matches as the playerbase drops. I'll be here until the end, but the writing is on the wall if they continue to stay silent. I think they'll have to announce something by the end of summer.

I don't think CCP are deliberately keeping us in the dark, I think it's that they themselves don't yet know what to do, so there's nothing to tell us. Which, to be honest, is even more worrying.

Could start by telling us what -the entire studio- is working on if Rattati is left with Dust.

But they have already stated otherwise. Several times.

Including a comment from Frame today.

They are working on PC 2.0, Power Cores, and HP/Speed curve.

Just the first two are heavy lifting and will be massive changes.

From a practical point of view there isn't a need for the company to let the community know. At the end of the day the company is the one that has to do it.

Actually, CCP has been recently giving us information especially when you look at the latest news on what is coming for the next hotfix, planetary conquest 2.0 for warlords 1.2 with the help of Rattati's think tank, trello boards showing changes coming in 1.2 that include fireteams, squads, and platoons, and so on.

To be honest with you, there are are two things left unanswered by CCP. What will happen with certain BPOs like the APEX suits once Limited Tiericide is implemented? And when will Dust move on to a better platform (as a cross-platform gamer, I don't give a **** where it goes)?

Those are the only two questions left to answer. Beyond that, CCP has been forthcoming overall with information and has consistently delivered ever since Rattati took over. I just wish he was in charge sooner when Dust was getting started.

At this point, we are just going back and forth with the pointless debate on what CCP should be saying and what CCP shouldn't be saying and that is taking us nowhere.

PS: In the end, no one here has any authority to force CCP to say something about it. That is up to CCP to decide. Just let the writing on the walls do that for us. The walls don't need us for that.

People are doing something about it. They are quitting the game.

There is NOTHING to gain by being silent if you plan on porting. Get that through your head. There IS something to gain by remaining silent if you plan on doing hotfixes until Dust dies with the PS3. Why is it so hard for people to see this?

This will spill over to other titles like Valkyrie and EVE, making any investors thinking twice (or five) times before they ever invest in CCP again.

K, you keep trying to convince me. I think you just made 27 people stick around. SMH

It's the long term uncertainty and the silence. It's the frustration of dealing with a game that's pushing this hardware to its limits.

And what good would it be to port a broken, unbalanced, and frustrating game to a new system?

Not all the games problems are due to hardware constraints.

PC had exploits that ruined the economy.

While weapons and suits are better balanced, there is still quite a ways to go.

Porting this game to another system too soon will only ensure its failure the next iteration, and thus for the long term.

They have to get the fundamentals right before doing anything else.

We could sit here with our thumb up our butts saying "Dust isn't ready yet! It needs more X, it needs more Y! We must balance Z first!" for years. Every month that goes by we lose more players to boredom and next gen platforms. It won't be long before our PEAK numbers will be sub-1,000. When player numbers start dipping that low the profitability of Dust plummets. What do you think will happen to Dust when it isn't generating a profit?

What it is that you want? For CCP to be struck with analysis paralysis until they shutdown Dust without porting?

I completely agree with and support all of this 100%

PC exploits benefited so few, that's an old and tired excuse.

How the heck would you know what's balanced and what isn't when 90% of pubs are borefests? You just aren't digesting the core issue, people are leaving the game in droves.

We know they must be doing something. 18 months ago they started working on Legion and had a playable demo for FF. that was what 13 months ago? Rouge still works for CCP, he's been doing something. It's just mind boggling that people still come up with excuses for CCP staying silent.

I'll say it again, the ONLY thing to gain by staying silent is to keep the Dust player base spending money until they pull the plug.

I will be more possitive.
There is still no reason to have this apocalyptic talks.
CCP stated how succesfull Dust is and how they want to support it.
Anyway i still have in mind Rattati and his talk how racial Vehicles and Weapons are still more important than building in dust 514.
Ergo i think they want to still work here than somewhere else.

I've never been apocalyptic about Dust outside of a few weeks after FF 2014).

The numbers tell the story. The game has never been more balanced. There's player trading. There's APEX suits that provide the opportunity to make lots of ISK without being fodder in matches.

It's an old platform on which this game puts a lot of stress. People aren't willing to keep patching their system with duct tape for people to leave battle and hide in the redline for a majority of the matches they play. It seems the only people left are those that think the person that's lost the least in battle and the have the most in their wallet when the game dies win some prize.

Jara could start giving virtual BJ's, but people still just want to know the future. The faith is waning. It's absolutely amazing that it's lasted this long.

You two will be well versed in each other's tactics fighting each other 1v1 match after match.

Frontline suits and militia are better?

Ive noticed corp activity down also. It seems CCPs quietness silences us to, its kinda erie with so few players. I think we might still recover since summer is just starting and its near exam time. The next update will spike us back up but I do think we will still slowly decline.

I think this too, helvete i know how many us boykos had school time before.
We will see later, i hope we will grind squadsync al time again ;)

BTW i have most fabulous BPOs right now in matar colous - - AWESOMELY FABULOUS ;p

lol i love how you type things! I want us to Q-sync and stomp all the other boykos also! CORSY boykos FTW!
