Ok, letGÇÖs make them very expensive. Sounds fair. But wait, thereGÇÖs more! LetGÇÖs make everything so expensive, that when a talk does show up, everybody will only afford a militia swarm launcher, so the tank driver can just laugh and steamroll everyone. Kinda like they did before, right? Quoting the forums: GÇ£I think you don't see a lot of higher tier AV weapons because of how expensive they are, and how much easier to lose the isk then you are in a high tier tank right now.GÇ¥ Btw, I'll give you a beer if you tell me you've read this sentence. You stated that a new player should be able to pick up the controller and start playing DUST. HOW THE **** IS ONE SUPPOSED TO DO THAT, WHEN YOU HAVE PEOPLE SPAWNING OP TANKS AND ALL YOU HAVE IS A POTATO SLINGSHOT?
Reading through the forums I see that you only got 2 builds before the big release. The last build made everything prettier and fixed nothing. In this rhythm, youGÇÖll be the laughing stock when DUST gets released. YouGÇÖd think that a company like CCP that went through the monocle fiasco with EVE would have learned how to make games by now. Another quote GÇ£u would think that from 2009 the foundation and core mechanics would be the 1st **** they worked onGÇ¥. You would think wrong. Apparently lens flare and aurum are way more important.
How do you think youGÇÖll ever make DUST a successful FPS if you canGÇÖt even get the core mechanics working AFTER SO MUCH DEVELOPMENT TIME. I wonder how you even started working on DUST. Did you try and make the models and textures first, then thought you should add flares and bloom and shortly before the first beta came out, thought it would be a good idea to do the shooting mechanics? Honestly. Look at Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. First they made sure that every bullet lands where it should every ******* time. Then they started adding guns and tweaking them. Your response to the dozens of posts complaining about tanks being unbalanced? Add another tank. Who the **** approves this kind of decisions?
