Achtung Soldaten!
We know how much you love patch notes so read on below to learn what is coming in the Precursor update! Remember, you read it here first! 
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Shortly after the Precursor update deployment, we will migrate the existing DUST 514 server to our EVE Online test server, Singularity (aka Sisi). This is an important step forward for our groundbreaking project, now DUST 514 on PS3 and EVE Online on PC/Mac will fully run on the same server. This also means we will be doing a character reset, as we have done before. You will keep your account, your name, your contacts, AUR and PSN items (eg Merc Pack). We really appreciate your help testing this historic event with us, please let us know any issues you encounter at [email protected] We will update this space with the exact time and date of the server migration.

Ad hock Squad Size is 4
Salvage is temproray loottable type
and form the looks of it additonal sutff to added to patch notes. |

This all sounds awesome. I'll definitely be spec as a medic this time. My only worry is the keyboard and mouse support. I really hope it doesn't imbalance things. |

So many new things to try.
The tactical AR sounds interesting, as does the role of a medic, which sound like someone who will be popular with expensive Proto suit wearing infantry.
Glad to see Heavy HMG guys get some love, even though I'm sure I'll be annoyed by them again ;)
Dropships sound interesting (make a gunship!!)
..as do HAV Covert Ops, assuming they can cloak.. Where's the Covops Dropship and LAV? :)
Any word on mass driver explosion fixes? They seem solid once the bugs are worked out.
Anti MCC turrets sound sweet. Perfect turret for those tower-dropping tank owners out there who don't seem to get it. ;)
Chat channels and grouping are definitely a great thing.
Excited about the changes.. now to work hard in RL to free up some solid gaming time upon release. |

Hmm there are some things I like and some things I don't... But have to wait to see what it's like.
Please tell me you fixed some of the problems with this build. All you have here is added stuff and balancing (aka nerfs) I would rather know if the game breaking problems in this build are fixed. |

I'm pretty sure this isn't everything, so hopefully it's been addressed too. If not, we'll just need to make sure it's really clear for the next round of beta feedback on that patch. It not working is not a design thing, it's a bug thing.

Black Ops HAVs are being introduced before the cloaking mechanics are ready. Right now, the only thing special about it is a reverse CRU. Disappointing, but maybe CCP has some nice surprises in store that will make it useful. |

if i may?
reducing the damage on breach ARs is perhaps not the right way to balance them. they already lose DPS over standard variants as is. a low DPS, low recoil, automatic weapon is a pretty standard piece of an fps. perhaps INSTEAD of further reducing the dps, they should have the hipfire acc returned to normal. i would say THAT is what makes them break the mold. they are better at range and due to hipfire ARGUABLY better up close. they "should" be better at range and worse up close?
also, i hate vehicle spam as much as the next guy, especially dropships. but flaming vehicles doesn't seem quite right if you intend for there to be 2 independent schools of tanking and repair? what is a shield tanker to do if he catches fire? don't get me wrong i feel that shield tanking has had the upside til now what with the fact that they recharge, and that a shield vehicle can get speed or damage out of his low slots, whereas an armor vehicle gets... a spawn? out of his highs. so if this is how you plan to balance them then... ok i guess, but it seems off.
i like the rest, or am at least curious to try. i'll miss being able to self rep with a repair kit but oh well. |
