Why not just remove damage bonuses from in-game skills like I/we suggested here.
There are 23 pages of good options/opinions, for both sides, there.

Still no gameplay improvements discussed.
Less emphasis on stats is the right thing to do but even if bonuses from skills gets removed like I wanted it won't save Dust 514 for disappointing as a FPS.

I love this info. I'll have to start formulating questions for you guys. Wait, I do have one...

- In the future, will skills like 'Gallente dropsuits' give bonuses when you use a galente dropsuit like it would in eve?

- Are there plans to show us racial varients to weapons/dropsuits. (IE Minmatar Forge Gun, Amarr Forge gun, etc... and of course minmatar scouts)

- Will there be a character history screen and will it allow us to show our characters as starting in Aug of 2012 or before?

- Will we be able to test new game modes before release?

- Will Caldari continue to dominate start screens like they do in Eve?

Edit: I don't know how to count.

I have five questions:

When will there be laser weapons and turrets??
What about lasers??
When will lasers be an option??
And this next question will be about, wait for it, ahh! did you guess LASERS??
Will we get laser defense turrets/installations??

When will my HAV shoot a cool laser pulse?? like in the story The Israeli - Texas war of 1999??

Yup. Just read around on any gaming forum and the general consensus is: Meh, the shooting mechanics are poor.

If they can't refine the gun play they might as well not bother.

I'd also like to know if there'll be any "battlechat" ala MAG or Battlefield.

Stuff like "They got me pinned down over here!" in BF3. In MAG you would hear soldiers in need of reviving calling out...etc. It was also very , very clear on the HUD who needed healing, what needed repairing and what had been captured.

I feel it adds to the atmosphere. Right now, Dust feels so lifeless and empty.

While I'm here, I'd love if someone could ask if we'll be getting a better ADS view. Really dislike the way looks currently.

The more I think about it, the more I realize MAG was WAY ahead of it's time.

I was talking bout ADS as "I can see my sight "instead then this cheap "the camera just zoomed" system.
FPS do this while Dust does this.

P.S.
As for the utility of ADS in KZ 3 there is a ribbon for getting 15 kill aiming from the hip: I got it 23 times and I have 10k+ kills.
This because in FPS Aiming down the sights (ADS) reduce recoil and makes you more accurate then firming from the hip.


EDITED with better links.

I requested a true ADS like in any FPS.
Guess what happened?

Actually I requested that more then 2 month ago, on these forums.

Don't ask ask CCP anything on IRC.
Don't give them more reason to not use these forums.

iron wolf u remember when at fanfest they said something about a heat map of all the areas people were killed from do they still plan on releasing that?

I just want to know when sniper rifles hit detection will be more stable, sometimes hits (mainly the closer shots) just do not register. Half the time I have to play scout assault because sniper rifle is jibbered. Not the greatest strategy.

Another quick question:

When are the "quit game" and the "log out" buttons coming?

Also thanks for doing this IRC thing ~ appreciate it much

1. Is there any plans to improve the heavy dropsuits? the current cost-to-performance ratio is not balanced (i.e. too weak for there prices)
2. Can we have better scoreboards based on points (warpoints maybe?) instead of the current KDR scoreboards?
3. will there be different types of reticles when Aiming Down Sight?

Most of the things on your list have been posted on these forums time and time again.

For a beta forum it's very poor, with no interaction with the developer and leaving it to people like yourself to pass on and ask questions and information. If your an employee thats different if not it's just plain wrong.

Im not having a go at you Iron Wolf and what you are doing is much aprieciated , but for ccp to say they are busy is not a valid reason not to use there own forum to pass on and get the required information.

Also many smaller or independant developers move mountains to interact with there testers whilst doing the same as ccp with less staff. For this game to succeed they have to interact with us not just a few and the forum should be there fist place of contact then other ways second.

Thats my last post for a while as I feel like I'm just moaning for the sake of it

Are you kidding me?

No mention of gun play?

If they ask "which one?", say "all of them!".

The weapons feel and sound sub par. They only need to read around the net to see how people feel about it.

Personally I think damage bonuses should stay on weapon skills. You could always buy a suit with more slots. I would rather train for damage bonus than buy them.

Where's the irc chat anyway?

Why's my question about Corp API not on there? :P

Lets address not being able to get into every game, or finishing every game that we get into.

Fix the basics first.

I think match making (able to get into every game with a full squad of 4 or by your self) and completing every game is #1 YO

Good dodge Nothin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just fix it

@CCP Wolfman
DS3 layout idea (as requested "Wolfman: I would like to hear some requests for alternate layouts to get a good idea of what people are interested in. ")

R2 - Trigger
R1 - Weapon Wheel/Change Weapon
L2 - Zoom
L1 - Grenade

Leave the rest as is or some combos that include the reversed L/R buttons.

I really just want a selection (not unlike the one on the 'Move' setup menu to simply swap L1/2 & R1/2. I have even tried to build a modified controller so I can do this in hardware. * I really want to swap those buttons! * The one layout that has them swapped also completely changes all the other stuff too and I don't want those changes.

It was bugging me the whole time I was reading through this thread.

Although I've always seen it spelled "reticle". Both are apparently valid spellings.


I don't mean to offend, but your surrounding is very odd.

A quick google search has shown me that the only word you've been spelling is a poor mans version of recital, as in a dance or music recital.

As requested, please post DS3 layout ideas for CCP Wolfman here

if your doing anthing toward the game industry CCP should give you an internship! at least a chance at one.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the responses and for starting the control config thread, IGÇÖll be keeping an eye on that. IGÇÖll coordinate with the Commander to do some more Q&A soon :-)

Point 5 , if they do go ahead they would have to make it so players just couldn't park a tank or 2 on top of them thus trapping players,or on a slope so they can fire into said trench.

But it could be intresting add a bit more of a tactical approach, worth a try a try I suppose.

Plus did they mention anything else about proper sights for AR's ?
