I've been excited for Dust for awhile now and was finally able to get 2 beta keys yesterday (one for me and one for my boyfriend). I love the game but it's obviously not perfect(considering it is a beta and all). Anyways, I decided that I wanted to give my own personal feedback. I attempted to do so earlier but the post failed.
-The hit detection is definitely off. I know i'm not the only person who has said this either. This needs to be adjusted.
When i'm shooting, it just doesn't feel meaty/gritty enough. I'll be hitting the guy but it doesn't feel like I am.
-There needs to be some sort of symbol or indicator for medics(people who can heal or revive), as well as an indicator for those who are downed and need revived.
-A grenade indicator would be much appreciated. Half the time I never even knew a grenade was there.
-The graphics are a bit underwhelming and a little bland, and i've seen lots of pop-in. I know this is just the beta so i'm sure many of the graphical issues will be fixed. Also, the graphics aren't the biggest issue. The graphics can be overlooked if the rest of the game is solid. They don't really bother me that much but my boyfriend thought they were awful.
-When a match ends, everyone is automatically sent back to their Merc HQ. I think that when a match ends, everyone should be brought to the pre-game lobby/hub. From there people could quit out and go to their HQ if they wanted. This way, the same teams can stay together if they want while still being able to edit their skills/weapons, etc.
-Two things I want but I know that they are coming:Higher player cap and the ability to have squads, invite your friends to play and invite your friends to a squad. I know these are coming at some point but I wanted to post this anyways.:)
-Not necessary but it would be neat if the chat could pop up on the left side of the screen whilst in-game. Similar to how the chat bars work on PC games. Of course there would need to be a toggle off button so it wouldn't annoy people.
-A detailed tutorial(could just be done with text and pictures), of the different game types would be nice. Such as telling what the objective is, what each of the symbols/counters/bars mean, etc. So far everything has been easy to figure out but you can't always assume that everyone will be able to figure it out on their own. Everything else about the game is explained well otherwise.
-Also not a priority but physical customization to your character would be nice. Just items to change your outer appearance that wouldn't have any actual effect on game play. I'm not sure if this is something they're considering or not but I thought it'd be nice to have more customization in the game. Plus it'd be nice to see a variety of characters.
-I have had a few glitches. I got stuck on a mountain and couldn't move or jump. I had to suicide to keep playing. I also have had the game freeze and everyone was sent back to the Merc HQ. I've also had the game get stuck while loading in the market.
I think that's all for my feedback for now.
EDIT:I also think the game should display other stats aside from KD. Things like:Captures, hacks(turrets, capture points, etc), points earned per match, how much health or ammo you've supplied for people, etc. Like in Skirmish on the players list and at the end of the game it just shows of your KDR. I think it should show off the other things i've listed. I'd prefer it keep track of things that promote team work.
Edit again: I would also love to be able to shoot out of the passenger seat of vehicles.:) |
