If any of these following issues are around this weekend, you will see how fast the PS+ members who download and check this game out will disappear and go back to BF3 or CoD....
#1 Hard Freeze - This is the hard freeze where the power button does nothing. This one you have to unplug your PS3 and then run the scan check. If PS+ members have this happen to them more then once or twice, they will leave!
#2 Instant Battle Hangup - This is where you click on instant battle and then you sit there and sit there waiting to join. If they experience this a couple of times, they will say "I'm done, I can't even get into a game!"
#3 Stuck on End Game Screen - Having finally get into the battle and you play. Once the battle is over it hangs on the Victory/Defeat screen forcing you to quit the game (and not collect any SP/ISK) and restart. Once this happens a few times they will leave as they are already back in the XMB and will just go load up BF3/CoD again.
#4 Character freezes if you back out of a battle waiting to join screen - This happens when you go to match finder or Instant battle and you are waiting to join the waiting screen. If you hit back, it will freeze your character. You can hit Select, but that's it. You can't hit Circle, Start, or move around. Forcing you to restart the game. Once again, PS+ members will leave after a few times of this happening.
This is just a small list of the issues, I'm sure there are more that will pop up, but these main ones should be fixed in a quick hotfix so everyone can enjoy beta testing this game.
The main thing is, all these bug reports that are popping up are serious issues. They need to be fixed ASAP or you'll notice that PS+ players won't stay. They are here for the weekend, all they want to do is check out this game and see if it will be worth playing when it comes out. They don't care about it being in beta, they won't file bug reports or suggestions.
Sure, you might pick up a few new Merc Pack purchases from the PS+ test phase, but you won't get nearly as many as you would if these bugs were fixed.
Well.......its not the weekend yet is it! Its Wednesday, we're playing this earlier than we should be and I'm sick of reminding people we are in phase 1/3, full migration to sisi has not happened yet.....not til phase 3/3. Any hang ups regarding freezing will more than likely be fixed by the weekend and if it isn't then it will be fixed in phase 2/3. I'm also going to remind people that all 3 phases will probably be complete by the 21st (original date of build availability). But seriously, do you want some cheese with that wine?

If you where a Dev telling us about wine ,I would recieve it with the cheese.We are Beta testers giving CCP Our Imput and I believe they want it straight and to the point. straight and to the point yes, in a very rude way (which most people are doing) NO. There are ways to get the message across without comments like 'you broke this, you broke that'........'get this fixed now'.....etc etc

Even though it's currently 1/3 that doesn't mean people should shy from reporting issues or giving (constructive) feedback now instead of later.
Yay! My first dev response, I feel honored But seriously, there are ways for people to give constructive criticism without being rude and obnoxious about it. It just makes my blood boil that's all lol |

Hmm. If you consider the OP to be rude to the Dust 514 developers, then you must be relatively new to the Internet or, at the very least, not exposed to its nastier elements. The OP, in my experience, is downright tame compared to a lot of what I've had the misfortune of encountering while online.
More on topic, out of the issues listed in the OP, the most distressing one I've encountered is the hard freeze of the PS3 where you must unplug the unit from its power source. Electronic devices don't always react well to sudden power disconnects.
Lol I've encountered my fair share of trolls and over the top posts in my 25+ years of gaming, Tebow baggins aka lord Calvert will vouch for that lol, that dude is a living legend |
