Your feedback was that of judging a demo as it was a full fledged game that just released.
I can imagine you looking at the ultrasound of your first child and saying.
"Well, that is no good, he can't get into a good college being that small. He is only the size of a peanut for Christ' s sake! How does he expect to open doors!"
Look at it for what it was. A demo.
One that was made about 6 months after they first started working on the game. That is pretty damn impressive speed if you ask me. As a foundation, they are getting it right.
Dust had many, if not all, of the things you cried Nova is missing, and it failed miserably because its foundation was like building upon sand.
Let them do it right this time, and maybe gain some perspective and context.

I'll miss you too, and many other members of the community.
Maybe they will let me at least sneak onto the forums...
Working on maybe putting myself in position to make something PC gaming worthy, but that is a few steps down the line at the moment.

This is precisely the problem.
A small subset of players, who enjoyed the fact their role was on the enjoyable end of over performance, feels that their right to play their role trumps the majority of others.
V/AV was never balanced.
Trying to cram it into a game with limited resources is foolish.
Rattati is trying to make a balanced, playable, fun game, with limited resources.
Its understandable to be angry. Its not understandable to be irrational.

And here is the primary problem. We can react however we care to, for some of us the only unique and memorable aspect of the game was that it was a combined arms game, it's not our fault CCP pulled the resources required to adequately program and balance that aspect. Then to compound issues, they use an untrained unpaid focus group to attempt to glean balance issues, leading to the endless run around we had. It's just sad to be fed yet another maybe while we sit on our hands and pray Nova isn't just a dumbed down shooter with an EVE skin. Double jump. Double kill. The mainstream is strong in this one.
Limited resources is a problem, but it is the reality.
I would hardly call a group of PC gamers, dedicated enough to travel to Iceland for Fanfest untrained. And paid or unpaid is irrelevant. The feedback was not about balance or whatnot, but whether it was fundamentally sound, smooth, etc. It was about the foundation of the game, the skeleton of it, and nothing more.
That the foundation of it got good reviews is wonderful news.
How many times did we complain about all the fundamental aspects of Dust that got in the way of all the unique parts of it?
Hit detection issues, poor framerate, falling through maps, all rendered the great aspects of Dust moot.
If Dust is to be saved, for the long term, it must rest on a solid foundation. That is the important part first and foremost.
I might not even get to play the game for being at this point in time, purely a console gamer, but even I recognize that this is the path that must be taken if I am ever to even have the opportunity to play the game I thought Dust could be.
Being negative about the little ember of hope that is Nova will not fan the ember enough to produce flames adequately large to see combined combat.
If you ever hope to have a good, viable, long term combined combat game THESE are the steps that must be taken. There are no shortcuts. There is no wand waving. There are no miracles.
Be angry. Be frustrated. But be realistic.
