Sent survey explaining "ISK exploit"; when a player uses new character creation and gives his initial credits to a corp, followed of kicking from corp and erase from account in order to create a new one and repeat the process

- Excessive WP exploiting by repairing vehicles in the red zone or similar.
- Excessive number of OB, 2-3 dozen per match, can ruin the game.
- The font in the result board after the matches and ingame during a match uses a unreadable font for the names of people. Use the normal font and cut off the names earlier instead, at least it's somewhat readable that way. This is with a 50" TV 3 meters from the screen.
- When using the fitting screen, there must be numbers above the graph to show how much CPU and PG fitting the item would draw from the suit. It's really unintuitive and quirky as it is now.

How does the corp member bug fix work?

Cross posting from twitter so you don't tell me off again. heh.

Thank you very much! Hope you enjoyed your week off!

Are the changes to the Tac assault rifle deliberate and are the control changes deliberate or a bug?

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.

We'll have to do more testing before we pass a verdict (don't want knee jerk reactions here) perhaps another player vs. dev event to see if it's borked?

I wouldn't complain about that.

I've been thinking about the new FW stuff thats in and at the moment it seems to me like it's just a glorified way of making a staged match between 2 sides.

Are there any plans to expand on it? It feels kinda expensive and pointless at the moment.

Still unable to download it due to what seems an incredibly unstable server. Previous 2 builds had problems but this is impossible.

Hi all,

In order to help us better track issues in the Codex update, please post your feedback and comments in this thread. Thank you.

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.

Hi all,

The most immediate fix you could implement would be to bring back quickswap.

Before I used to be able to cycle through my weapons/equipment but now I have to hold up the radial menu and choose the item instead.

Return skill point gain back to last build or this game will die fast on release. Not to many ps3 player fpser what ever u wana call will play for to long with it like this and yes i really like this game.

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.

One of the changes in Codex is that your end of match rewards are now partially affected by the length of match, so if you only played part of a match, your reward will be less than if you played a full match.

keep up the feedback, we are looking at them and will review your comments.

Hi all,

Just a quick update to keep you all posted. We have gathered a lot of good feedback on issues in Codex and will be implementing hotfixes in the very near future to address the most vexing issues first. Chief among them is the WP farming issues and orbital strike spamming, so expect a hotfix on that soon.

We are working our way down a laundry list of bugs and issues so please bear with us as we work towards addessing these issues in the coming week.

We want to thank all of those who have been reporting issues on Codex constructively thus far. As always, your comments have been invaluable. Thank you and keep up the good work.

This isn't specific to Codex, but the HUD is lacking.

There should be an optional squad list on the HUD that tells you the health status of your squad members.
The general direction of all squad members should always appear on the HUD.
The squad leader should have a special symbol above his head visible to the squad, so that the squad knows who to follow.
There should be indicators informing you of who is talking.
When incapacitated, there needs to be an indicator on the minimap that shows friendly nanite injector carriers.

Overall, I feel that the game is close to being ready for release gameplay-wise (but please fix the strafing).

it would also be nice to be able to issue squad orders without bringing up a map. should be able to aim at a spot/thing/person and choose attack, defend, rally, etc.

Please up the aim assist so we can do COD locks & snap-ons, please!!!! That would make kills that much easier to get. Thank you.

It's going to be a pain to sort that. Either a no send isk timer for x amount of days, or probably more easy- cant delete character after its created for x amount of days.

Or cut down the isk on new accounts, or any toon you make after original?

Codex Impressions

• 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.

First, the LAV should probably be taking some damage, and I don't think it should instantly kill anything heavier than a scout. At least, it doesn't LOOK like the front of the LAV is weaponized, and if all you're doing is hitting someone at 40mph/65kph, it seems like the dropsuit would be capable of absorbing some of that impact.

Alternatively, you should be able to jump out of the way of a LAV with quick reflexes, even in a heavy suit. I have another thread about jumping/diving out of the way that suggests a balanced approach to this.

From my perspective, this just needs a nudge. People get war points for all kinds of things, and it's contributing to the battle just as much to kill someone by running them over as to kill someone with bullets.

The Skystrike cannon model has a bug, just north of objective C on the roof, you can fall though and get stuck in the building model.

I'm pretty sure it's not, but I hope this is a joke. NO. Just, NO. Please CCP, do NOT add any more to the aim assist. The more skilled marksmen should win the battle. Improve hit detection, perhaps improve the trajectory/projectile travel mechanics and distance, but do NOT add any more aim assist. Please no more twitch shooters.

the swarm launcher missiles are often way too slow to ever hit dropships, but increasing the missile speed would make them way too effective against dropships. I propose that higher tier swarm launchers (advanced and prototype) should get a missile speed buff.

1 hit kill grenade, fine
Instant detonation grenade, fine
But not both.
If the fused locus grenade is to not be a problem, its instant explosion ability needs to be balanced by lower damage so that 1 can be survived. This way the fused grenade will be useful as an extremely rapid way to substantially decrease an enemy's HP to make him easier to kill.
Currently its 1-hit kill, and detonates instantly. Obviously that is pretty overpowered.


Loading screen images should be bigger, add a greater variety of them since there doesn't seem to be many. Show off some more beautiful screenshots and concept art. Maybe throw in some images of EVE ships with text explaining EVE-Dust connectivity. Maybe some images of planet with districts outlined, and some texts explaining the value of districts.

Deployment room glitch/bug, is getting worse! When people spawn into the deployment room, 1/3 of the people are about 2 feet off the ground, but now it seems like this is happening to 1/2 of the people, as they spawn in. This bug seems to happen once every 3 to 6 times.

Sound bug. While on the battlefield, I have noticed that some of the people on the ground, get a sound bug. Whether it be a panting of breath from running, when they are no longer running, to a gun shot happening, when they are no longer shooting their gun. It's happened to me, where I am no longer running, but I still hear the sounds of panting. It's happened where I can't hear it, but some of my team mates could still hear the sound of gun shoots coming from me.

Last bug to note, is when I am driving the starter militia LAV, the map starts to load in front of my eyes.

That's it. That is my weekly update on what I have noticed, bug wise.
I do like though the new installation of ladders everywhere.
I like how the you guys have smoothed out the terrain, and the ability of not getting jerked around when you get bumped.

Okay, I'll get this out of the way: I'm a sniper. That guy who's taking potshots at you 500+m away and 1/2/3-shot'ing you and probably causing some form of "WTF" as a consequence? That's me. If it make you feel better, I prefer counter-sniping (they're easier to headshot).

Something I'm noticing when I'm sniping is that there are shots where I'm clearly hitting the target, but not seeing a hit marker or reduction in health. There's some kind of bright-blue flare (shield?) where it hits the person, but there is no damage. I'm wondering if this is a bug or if this is some kind of equipment or other module that is causing this.

On a semi-related note, I'm noticing that when I have my "cross-hairs" over a soon-to-be-dead guy who's making the mistake of not constantly moving around there's a percentage that pops up under their health bars. What does that percentage correspond to? Exposure? Chance to hit? Stamina? It's just a minor question.

Sorry if these have been answered, but several searches didn't pop up anything.

I miss the old Skirmish with defense relays.
Skirmish is pretty simple and boring now, and having 5 control points is not a good idea; it divides up a small amount of players on an oversized map even smaller. Having only 3 points though is bad for balance though since it makes it too easy for one side to dominate. Increasing the player count would fix this.
Please hurry up with that multi-stage mode I heard you guys are working on.

Generally speaking, maps are way too open. They don't foster fun CQC battles, but instead lead to long range AR battles which I find very enjoyable; at greater ranges, the slightest movements from an enemy requires more aim adjustments, that plus the low bullet damage (making kills take a long time) makes long range gun fights pretty boring. I am not asking for an increase in damage, but maps like the old canyon terrain from many builds ago that had those paths carved through rocks. Because these paths were between raised rocks, it meant that they were inaccessible for long range battles, and fostered fun frantic close range battles.

Map rotation is heavily biased in favor of the spiky rocky map. There may be a glitch with the map rotation or something

Spiky rocky map needs more skies and lighting effects. Its always just white fog, and that makes it even more boring.

Vehicles should be very weak against AV, but should be very cheap to reflect that weakness. Right now vehicle prices are way too high which makes them very inaccessible, and very cost ineffective. If they have to be nerfed to get a massive price cut, then nerf them.

It would also be nice if we were able to resell items that we already purchased or recieved from salvage

When no one, and I mean no one, puts a blaster on a DS there is either something wrong with missiles or something wrong with blasters. Not jumping on the nerf missiles wagon, yet, but if all anyone uses is one of two options, then there is an imbalance there.

The free lav should be 4 seats, no gun, no modules. The paid lavs should have freaking roofs. Any roadkill should do equal damage back, potentially leading to awesome stand your ground moments with heavies

Personally for me,the gunplay needs to be tightened up.For instance,there seems to be deadspots int he control while aiming making aiming less precise as almost every other shooter. When I try to move the reticle just slightly or slowly,it's slower than any other game that I've ever played.

Like others have said before,ADS is pretty bad right now and really needs to be tightened up too.I really need something more than just a full screen crosshair while aiming down sight.

Hip firing seems pretty loose too.Idk,but there are too many times when I just don't get the feeling that I'm actually hitting anything that I'm aiming at.

So in all,the gunplay needs a major reworking,as far as I'm concerned.

Grenade mechanics and physics need to be tweaked.

X axis speed really needs to be raised to.With the assault suit,turning 180 degrees takes waaaaay to long to do.

Strafe speed too slow. ADS speed should be slower than hip fire strafe, but definitely still have some pace.
Hip fire needs to be tight and useful in close range, obviously not long range though. Hip fire however should not dominate in close range. ADS should still be viable, hence the suggested ^ speed of ADS

Aiming is terrible. Play any other shooter, then play DUST, then proceed to laugh at DUST. The deadzone is huge.
Fluidity is key. The sensitivity also needs increased speed for such players who desire it.

For me it all comes down to gunplay mechanics. Here are a few suggestions.

Movement and controls feel way too stiff. Maximum sensitivity needs to be increased. I get that limited sensitivity helps balance vs mouse and keyboard, but its way too low. Assault and scout suits need to be able to turn around MUCH faster. Movement and strafing speed needs to be increased back to where it was a couple builds ago. I would also like to see an increase in stamina.

ADS feels unsatisfactory. There needs to be some sort of acceleration when turning with ADS.

- Scan system still not clarified by CCP, might be working as intended, might be broken.
You
- No footsteps sound effect makes for radar dependency.
- Vehicles lack sound effects, creating radar dependency.
- Sniper rifles rate of fire seems ridiculously high for their damage output leaving little time to react if you survive the shot.
- Incoming fire directional is too subtle, hard to notice when you're being shot at and from what direction.
May want drastically frustrating gameplay especially when tied with weapon recoil systems like the assault rifles.[/b][/u]
To consider energy cars and bf:bc 2/3 engine
- Game seems entirely too focused on teamplay with little to no incentive for solo players both in battle and in contracts.

::URGENT::

Sometimes during battle NeoCom starts popping up when your trying to zoom in scope on AR (L1). Stops doing it once you die and lose the suit, but it's really annoying. Please fix!!

Thanks.
