Sometimes you'll unload a clip into someone and see their shields flashing but they take little or no damage. The reload mechanics need work. Knifing is clunky. Crouch and sprint mechanics need looking into. Weapon switching, tool switching is problematic. Some times you have to press L1 multiple times to get REs to go off. Grenades just not firing. The grenade throw arc is WAY TOO HIGH. Grenade physics are weird. Draw distance is pitiful. Running a tank into a light post damages the tank . Terrain is unrefined and certain areas around hills will cause the player to get stuck. Too easy to get stuck on corners and stairs. Spawn locations are bugged. Numerous quality of life improvements needed. These are just a few issues off the top of my head. Voice comms are bugged. Numerous issues with voice comms tbh.

Agree with op! This is pretty terrible even for a work in progress beta. No amount of polish can fix this disaster by release. Sorry to upset u fanboys but this is just awful...beta or not.

There really needs to be a thread of known issues and complaints that is updated often and stickied at the top of both GPD and Bug/TS sub forums. No offense to the CR staff here at CCP, but trying to wade through all the posts of the last few days just to find your issue is annoying, even with the search button. It would also probably alleviate some of the nerd rage if people knew the CCP devs were aware of even the most trivial problems.

Agreed. CCP does need to afford the time to upload some form of documentation. Many of us have stated as such before.

Oh, and...graphics has nothing to do with it. U just cant fix bad gameplay.

Haters need to realise that this is a beta, and they have time to fix things.

Fanboys need to realise there is a HELLUVA lot to fix...

They have months left to work on the game. It's supposed to release "sometime 2012". You're high if you think the state of the game now is a clear indication of how it'll be at release.

People always say this in betas but in my experience with betas (and its extensive), they are actually a pretty good indicator of the final product. The release is usually more polished and refined but basic gameplay is the same. Yet there are always people in beta forums spouting how the final will be so much better...they fool themselves.

At the current pace of development with a new build every 6 weeks or so, we will probably see 4 more builds before this game gets launched. that's a lot of development effort to fix / polish things off. you guys just need to calm the F down. go play something else if the glitches/bugs annoy you that much. come back for the next build.

but hating on the game and developers and saying that this game will be failure is just LOL stupid..

Lmao, look at all these fanboys.
When somebody says something bad, it's like a child responding with their hands over their ears, "NO NO, BETA, LA LA LA, DUST IS PERFECT."

Its not glitches and bugs thats the problem. Those things are expected in beta. Its not the fact that it needs more polish its the core gameplay thats boring and just plain terrible...they c+ánt fix that without a complete rebuild.

Those of u waiting for some big spectacular changes by release are holding onto false hope. This is the core game and only minor improvements will be made by release. Polish and fixed bugs dont improve the core gameplay. The game is boring and thats not going to change...no matter how much we wish for it.

Did you beta eve online?

https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=26144&find=unread here is my current list of complaints, I only expect a quater of these to be fixed mostly the more serious ones that are counter fun.

I think ccp is a bit more busy getting the game up and going, I mean seriously if you look at 'dev' posts between eve and dust 514, you see more GMs posting here answering questions about game development than the devs are posting. I wonder how they're indrontinating ex-Dice people at CCP to listen to players and possibly talk to them?

BTW Eve online getting software updated on august 8th it wouldnt surprise me if dust 514 does it the same day while everyone is upped up on energy drinks in prepration for patchday gone wrong.

LOL

Face it, people, that if the game fails on ps3 its headed to PC where it won't fail.....CCP must have an out of exclusive clause with Sony which can be exercised after a period of time if numbers and revenue miss the projected targets.....

The game will go on, it may be that the game is too deep, mature and complex for console gamers....

The game play in this build can get boring, but I must say I have enjoyed my time on the Asian server so far. It is funny how when hit detection works and lag reduces, that the game becomes more playable despite the obvious issues on the current skirmish map.

This isnt EVE online...its a PS3 fps. And its terrible! Maybe u EvE players are happy with boring...I prefer action and excitement in my shooters.

Good eye on the EVE Online side. That would be neat to see if they happen to release both updates around or on the same date. However in terms of GM to DEV -- Usually they are both under the same roof. Just different departments. What needs to happen in this case is internal communication so that GM (General Managment) can cordinate, talk, and respond to us. Communication is always an essential and intregal part, or form. We the players could use some communication. It would at the very least help relieve some stress within the community.

Yet eve online's beta wasnt like any other pc's betas either for an mmo. There was only 2 factions and like 90 star sytems. Hell there was a ship in it that like never made it in that I acutally liked (it looked like a sunfish) Heck Null sec didnt exit, tutorials didnt exist (well after launch) lots and lots of things in eve didnt exist back then, like battleships.

The thing is the beta from eve looks a hell lot like dust 514s in terms of progress, how things work, how updates are made, how feedback is treated and how the much of the game shaped by the testers.

Its not glitches and bugs thats the problem. Those things are expected in beta. Its not the fact that it needs more polish its the core gameplay thats boring and just plain terrible...they c+ánt fix that without a complete rebuild.
