It isn't possible to change weapon/equipment by single-pressing R2.
Weapon/Equipment wheel has a delay to appear after R2 is pressed-and-hold.
After you selected weapon/equipment in Weapon/Equipment wheel by using right stick, you need to hold it in that direction and release R2 or release R2 and right stick simultaneously. This is bit uncomfortable. |

This is bit uncomfortable. We do plan to implement button remapping, so you can at least pick a different button for weapon switching, and we probably won't even charge you for it. 
The problem isn't in what button you need to press in order to change weapon/equipment. It's about how you use it.
In the Codex and in the previous patch I play Logi. It means I have 1 weapon and 2-3 equipments (depemnding on how much ISK I want to lose on my death  ). I often need to change between weapon-nanite injector-repair tool-etc..
In the previous patch I had two options:
1) Single-click R2 until it circles to weapon/equipment I want.
2) Press R2 with pointing right stick to a direction where necessary item reside. It was a quick move and I achieved fast swapping between different equipments and my weapon.
In the Codex it works in the following way:
1) You can't circle through your weapons and equipments. As mercs wrote in my other post about the wheel (https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=38730&find=unread), it seems you can circle only around your weapons and if you have an equipment in your hand, you swap it to your weapon.
2) There is a delay after you press-and-hold R2 and weapons/equipments wheel appears. Therefore i can't switch between my weapon and equipments as fast as I was able in the previous patch.
My usual weapon-equipment swapping in Codex looks like this:
1) I press R2 and then move right stick to necessary direction;
2) As there is a delay, my camera starts to move in that direction;
3) Then the wheel appears and I release R2
4) As I still need to hold right stick in the selected direction while releasing R2, my camera moves in that direction again.
This is annoying and in order to decrease camera movement I try to do it faster, predicting the delay and so on, resulting in doing wrong sequence and wrong weapon/equipment selection.
As I wrote, there is a thread where you can find some more feedbacks about the wheel.
The best way to understand this is to try to move on a battlefield while trying to change your equipments/weapons (select Logi for this) as fast as possible. |

It's hard to afford even militia items. I use SkinLogi (the one that's reward for corp battles and is free) with Mass Driver (don't have militia version) and all other militia items. It costs me about 14k. For full match I receive only from 50k to 100k ISK and this value seems to not scale well with WP earned. One battle I received about 300 WP and earned ~50k ISK, the other one I received ~1k WP and earned about 60k. However, in order to get more kills in the second battle I died more and ended up with negative income.
It should be fine that I need to farm in some low grade dropsuites in order to afford the best one, but in the current state I need to farm in starter fittings in order to afford militia gear and I has never been in to bottom of the list (usually somewhere in the middle), hence someone play even worse than me.
UPD: I forgot to mention that it seems that amount of ISKs gained after a battle has decreased since yesterday (03.10.2012) patch. When I played on Tuesday evening (02.10.2012) I usually received more than 100k and I played worse than yesterday. |

- Opposing players no longer show up on mini-map when they're *actively shooting me*. This has happened with everything from pistols/smgs all the way to Snipers/sniping ARs.
I also expect that shooting players should have better chance to appear on the minimap. Like you signature should increase when you firing (you emit noise/heat which make you easy to spot by scanner) and probably depending on what are you using: forge gun should increase your signature more than scrambler pistol.
It's OK when someone get behind me and one shoot me with shotgun. However, it feels wrong, when I'm getting hit, looking at minimap, seeing nothing, than turning to realize that the enemy standing 3 meters away.
I even increased scanning skills and fitted some scanning modules, but it didn't make much difference. |

A little update for ISK issue I wrote here about.
Yesterday I played two matches.
1st match:
- I joined the match when both MCC shield where at about 95-100%
- We lost the match
- I earned about 550-600 WP
- I was in the top of the result list (1-3 position)
- I earned about 80k ISK
2nd match:
- I joined the match when both MCC shield where at about 95-100%
- We lost the match
- I earned about 550-600 WP
- I was in the bottom half of the list (thanks to WP boosters)
- I earned about 40k ISK
Also I killed more merc in the first match (don't remember the exact numbers).
Therefore, It seems that number of ISK earned doesn't really depend in WP earned. It either depends on your position in the result list or number of mercs you killed. In both cases it seems wrong. WP is the measure of efforts you give to your team. More efforts should mean more rewards.
As for now number of ISK received after a match is really hard to predict.
I'm using militia-only gear. I buy everything on the marked because of restock prices bug. In the second match I tried to get our team a win and lost 13 dropsuits, meaning I spent more ISK then earn (militia-only gear, remember?).
PS: In my humble opinion, fixing restock bug should be as easy as changing several numbers in the code/config. This isn't as important as WP boosters bug, but could you hot-fix it please? It's annoying to buy items in the market. Thanks in advance. |
