Hello guys.
I am a PC gamer for over 24 years now and would like to share my experience.
First and one of the most important things: the chat system
There must be a permanent chatwindow (which eventually gets 50% opacity when inactive) so teammates can at least communicate a bit like "need help: enemy tank at A point". At the moment as the chat is hidden you play without absolutely no communication with 32 players if in a public mach. This is a waiste of ressources !
Perhaps make a tab in the chatbox so the players can select to write with the team or communicate with the corp (toggle).
Second as many players use keyboard + mouse please make it possible to completely play and control Dust without the Controller. In Market / Neocom for example use the arrow keys to navigate, space to mark an item, Return to select, TAB to switch between the rows / tables ....
The map should open way faster and mark the player with a big red triangle to easily find hisself (usually no time in combat to study the map for more than 3 seconds)
Vehicles really NEED flares. Can't be that a tank gets destroyed by like 3 "missiles" and the driver has no chance to
Last but not least: there should be an option for the rotation speed of all turrets on a vehicle. If i for example take the small rocket launcher of a tank- it tankes about 10 or more seconds to completely turn around 360-¦ and i t takes me 20x the length of my large mousepad where usually its enough to keep inside the 30x40cm spot for regular gameplay (even in Dust as ifantry)

I don't know where you're getting this "many players use keyboard + mouse" hardly anyone uses Kb/M beyond using the keyboad to type in chat channels without voice. So you're chat being always visible won't work not only because most people use the DS3 or for the unscrupulous a modded controller and it's just too cumbersome to be of any use typing in the middle of a match to get help. Even for the Kb, you're still forced to use the PS3's virtual keyboard which is going to throw a huge blind spot in the middle of your screen.
As for rotation speed for vehicles, there's a skill for that. Plus you're still going to end up swiping more than a preppy at the mall with her dad's credit card, better off using the controller to aim.
As far as I'm aware the only things you can't do in there game with the Kb is opening the chat window with T doesn't work, unless they've fixed it and moving the map around without jumping between spawn spots. Which of course that's going off of memory, haven't used the Kb/M to actually play Dust in almost 2 years.
Your only good idea in there is vehicle flairs but that'll won't happen any time soon; and the map opening faster, but that will take full blown optimization and again, won't happen anytime soon. Then again the TQ upgrade next year might help a bit with the map if it's stored on the server instead of the client.
Most of what I see around here is just a bag of dicks in need of some kicks.
Dust really needs its high sec.
