Im questioning if this was dust 514 I been so used to for so long.

I can actually kill ppl now there kb/m is implemented. KB/M implementation sucks though.

It's worse than using the DS3. And right click to shoot, left to zoom? wtf

something is off with your mouse if your left click is zoom ;)

Dust-Mites;

Please keep posting your experiences and feedback with the new build here. It helps those of us at work feel less like the POWs we are

Are the new maps new? Or just a combination of plateau,communication,biomass etc?

Any change to overall map size?

Thank you all

its bigger and there is a fourth control point. also more ppl on the map (?) and some barriers have been (re)moved

Is that really the only "new" map?
.... I seriously hope not.

Flying is weird now, feels like you're flying a balloon or something

Hit detection is worse then the last build. Nuff said.

Also REs are broken. Like they are a pain to use but I literally had a tank drive over the 2 I had out and did zero damage >.>

Hit detection has always been broken in this game and probably will be for a long time. Also, REs suck and everyone who used them pre-nerf should be ashamed.

3-4 new maps, as we have been moved from a barren planet to a temperate planet. The environment looks significantly better, and there is a new MCC model (Caldari I believe). They game looks significantly better, doesn't play as good, and KBM support is god awful. Pretty much a good summary.

The one we had before was Caldari, the new on, Charron, is Gallente.

For those who have played it so far what are your thoughts? Me personally I'm unsure if I like the way it looks. Hit detection felt way off at times, so will just have wait and see.

Glad you started this read. Now people like me with completely horrible connection that needs to wait 5 hours to update can still have an insight on the new update. I'm goin to keep a close eye on this thread until tonight when I can actuall play lol

What are all you people talking about? KBnM? RE delays? new maps? I thought we werent getting all those changes until august 23??

New build out today.

also: the "new" map now exists in both swampy green and desert colour (desert being the "old" one. it looks a bit different though). the red part of the map now has quite a few structures (oil tanks, some pillars, stuff like that)

stupid quickmatch always gives me ambush maps :(

it feels like sargaris missile splash has been nerfed, not 100% sure though

grenades have a icon now, i also have the feeling as if i could not throw them as far as before

oh, it also looks like some people managed to make their own corps (or new corps have been added)

Oribital strike is called in same way you call in a vehicle. Right d-pad -> Orbital strike. Map pops up and you choose a spot on the map. BOOM

And was it really needed to implement that a forgegunner is not allowed to move while charging up? We could allready only move extreme slow with that thing.

There needs to be a way to outfit a light with a forge gun... It's pretty idiotic that an anti-tank dropsuit is forced to be a heavy - it's not like we can rely on damage mitigation against tanks for survival.

are you serious?

AV people no longer have anything to complain about. I know because I am one and CCP has given me wins against vehicles on a silver platter. If you dont know what I am talking about, you'll figure it out eventually.

Yes, I'm serious, and I'm not complaining. I just prefer blazing fast anti-tank movement like it is in every other game and irl.

This game isn't supposed to be like every other game though.

Alright, this is about as simple of a reason as i can make....

CCP has a history of not simply forcing things on you as a developer, meaning everything they build has a reason behind it and isnt some magical sci fi thing. Everything is reasonable and makes sense in the grand scheme of things. Thats why the lore is so extensive and awesome.

Forge guns are ridiculously powerful, nearly uncontrollable weapons that shouldn't realistically be able to be wielded by humans. It is only with great effort and mechanical genius that they were able to fit one on a heavy suit, which was able to actually withstand the gun without killing the user.

Scouts/assaults/logis simply cannot use a forge gun. If you must have an AV option as a light suit, use a swarm launcher.

[So CCP puts lore ahead of gameplay and fun? I highly doubt that, otherwise they wouldn't be making games successfully for so long.

We do need more options for anti vehicle warfare but the forge on a scout suit is just silly.

Much better gunplay now, didn't see any serious issues with hit detection, although I think auto-aim is still too aggressive (easy-mode). Got several kills with a scrambler gun, and finally had some success and tank kills with a forge gun.

Once the game got stuck and wouldn't allow me to open up the menu (start button), had to restart the game for it to work.



I can move around with my non-proto forge gun while charging - perhaps it's the gun you're using, so it's a feature?

No, we don't.

Since when are options a bad thing.

Note I have not yet had time to log on and see the changes for myself, so perhaps you are right and we don't need anymore. Although when they introduce new vehicle types that may change.

They've nerfed marauders pretty bad. Took away their 1.5x damage and raised the price to 1.2 million. They also lowered their CPU/PG. I roll in a Soma and do better financially and KDR wise.

Make sure you post anything important in feedback, and DATE it. This means we'll be able to keep a better idea on problems at this stage vs later in the build.

looks alot better sounds alot better

plays...like crap

i said that i was gonna wait untill the new build to play dust

well i waited and i am not impressed

so many crashes and not hearing anybody speak


not playing untill the next build again

oh well i guess im going back to armored core 5

I feel like the Re-Stocking tool needs to be set back to the way it was where you restocked up to a certain number you desired, not this new way. It causes me to have to restock manually to account for multiple modules of the same type on my suit.

I agree. The new method sucks. Had to go into edit and restock each item one by one.

Me personally I didn't stay on long last night. I'm not a fan of waiting 5 minutes just to start a game because the other servers are full. I think they should add a 16vs16 server for those who do not want to wait long to play a game.

You know what I find funny -- if not a tad sad -- that has gone unmentioned, and unspoken? Accumalative skill point acquisition. Meaning CCP in the tuesday update did infact turn (back) on automatic stationary skilling. Where one automatically acquires skill points whether logged onto the game or not. This was always brought up whether it would return or not, and when it would. I feel this is something overlooked. At the moment I believe the current ratio is one skill point every four seconds. Infact you can watch it climb in-game while you are in your skill sheet above in the UI (User Interface).

Just thought among all of the negativity that someone should mention a positive. Which this is. Let the math begin.

Twenty four hours in a day with sixty minutes in an hour, and sixty seconds in a minute. That would mean if I am correct in assuming it's one skill point every four seconds; that a player would obtain fifteen skill point a minute for a total of nine hundred skill points an hour. Grossing in mass total for the day (even while not playing) twenty-one thousand and six hundred skill points a day. Just for having a character on Dust514. Assuming I am correct that it is one skill point for every four seconds though. That is not bad at all.

I wonder how this will be affected though when CCP deflates the skill point acquisition from four hundred percent above normal back to it's base line? Will CCP have a new ratio for accumalative skill pointing? Will it stay at what it is now? Amazing to think about, no?

Anyone found out how to use the Orbital Strike yet? Keep getting a message on screen saying the squad leader can use it.

no but i saw one it barely missed me and wiped out someone else and was like HELL YEA!!! also there are 32 players now.. that makes big notcible effect, it looks like a battle even more now.

and no they did something when i played last night the hit detection was almost spot on. i think i can actaully quit drinking now and just play the beta and the new graphics are great you dont feel like your playing PS2 anymore.

yea my dropship was taken out by a single swarm launcher and my shield is like 3900 but I was having so much fun as a soldier I forgot to learn 2 fly which I have to do now that you can do a barrel roll.. the way I flew last build I didnt zoom around much unless we were taking SL or FL I would just slowly lumber around allowing my gunners to rack up kills like they were firing from a stationary platform but we're hoping that the pilot suits give us some kind of special way to fly the ship better and only someone with a pilot suit can actually fly the ship worth a dam but we'll have to wait and see.

the network stability is still terrible but at least i could play 2 out of 3 games instead of 0 like I was having the first night inciting me to go crazy on the forums in an all out troll thread but everyone was furstrated because we're passionately wanting to play so the forum that night was a lot of chaos reflecting our furstrations at not being able to play
