On scifi weapons: There are lasers, go in the market > weapons > laser rifles > buy / use / level up skills required > buy a damn laser rifle. The assault rifles and shotguns are plasma weapons (burning ionized gas, probably held together by magnetic fields), the sniper rifles are railguns. Go put on a heavy dropsuit, and try the Forge gun. More confirmed weapons are still to come.

They go klack-klack-klack or ka-thang. Where's the pew pew or the recoil-less rifle? Maybe I'm nitpicking on audio effects, but none of these guns seem sci-fi to me. How about a gun that shoots lightning? Launched Napalm? Guided Missiles? Cluster Rockets? There's technology that we have TODAY which outpaces DUST. Maybe it's a visual / audio effects disconnect. The game doesn't feel like science fiction to me

On dev feedback: Check dev posts on the forums more, or go to the free IRC chat where they come fairly often. This thread is relevent to dev feedback.

I have nothing for this.

On stability: This build is far more stable than it was the previous builds, its not perfect, but it is vastly improving, so its kind of weird that you would pick now to mention how terrible it is.

Even with the improvements I experience at least one hard crash per day. I experience at least 3 soft locks per hour. Maybe it's a bad installation, which only lends more credence to the "I will uninstall this and try again later" statement.

On diversity: Its a beta, how often do you play a beta with all the modes that will be available at launch? There is a mode I think they referred to as conquest that will be played on an even bigger map (5 kilometers I think) that is coming, there will be a PVE mode where you fight rogue drones. Corp battles will be coming, so will factional warfare.

When these things become available I will probably be back to test them. Right now the game doesn't have the tools to be diverse enough (on a macro scale) to hold my interest in a testing capacity (especially with my feedback seemingly getting 0 exposure or mention) Aside: I'm not naive enough to think that the devs have time to respond to or comment on every single feedback post; however, if something is really well formatted with practical experience then it at least deserves a "We've seen it and we're thinking about it."

On consistency: More shields = bigger signature radius, plus there are modules that others use to increase their spotting capabilities. I agree infantry deployables should get you points. I have no problems with swrm launchers, if they are made too strong then it would present a balance issue. I'm pretty sure ass drivers fire grenades, last time I checked they were (definitiom of grenade is "A small bomb thrown by hand or launched mechanically"). The rest of your complaints seem trivial, or explained by balance.

Sig radius is useful for nothing at current it doesn't affect your visibility or the damage you take. Modules which increase spot capability are useless because Chevrons linger too long and appear with little to no effort on spotting. Explosive Splash damage with Swarm Launchers isn't a problem if you make it practically impossible to shoot them at your feet and explode (see MFD or MAD in current missile technology). Mass Drivers do not shoot grenades. Most AP grenades kill you on contact. or within 2 meters; A MD will not. The point of this section was to point out some of the little things that just don't make any sense. Why does the technology exist to do X but not Y when Y is clearly just another implementation of X?

On communication: Because those buttons are already in use. Get a mic.

Forcing players to get a microphone for basic communications is absurd. I'll buy a microphone when I can hack enemy communications and feed them junk data.

CCP advised against making lists of requests and feedback, I advise you split your ideas and feedback into different threads, or comment on threads that are already existing about your issues. The thread is the 1st stickied thread on th feedback page.

Which didn't exist when I started testing this back in August.

would you like some cheese with that whine??

Lol. "Pew-pew, dakka-dakka". I love it. Sorry, just had to say it.

Scrambler pistols are actually lasers, too. And the assault rifles are actually plasma rifles. Sniper rifles are railguns. A lot of the other very sci-fi stuff (mechs, cloaking) are coming later on.

Not to put ya in the hot seat, but `Why ya mad brah?

I think you are using the WRONG RIFLE.

The weapons generally really don't sound and feel scifi except for a few. It use to bother me a lot; its kind of a minor issue, but it would improve the feel of the game if they did sound more scifi.

I understand where you're coming from, but if you haven't noticed, there's a lot of people with headsets. Communication is important, and from efficient standpoints, audio is the fastest method as opposed to using a keyboard. I hate to tell you this, but you are left in the dust (no pun intended) of most players there. This isn't a PC shooter, either. It's a PS3 shooter that just so happens to support KB+M and text chat. You'll need to get used to this if you've not already.

Um, because there aren't a lot of deaf gamers out there. Sure, colorblind players, alright, but what you're pulling isn't a very effective argument unless a large population of players happen to be deaf and playing a game with this level of team-orientated gameplay. Besides, if that is the case, most people are probably only playing on PC anyway, since games on PC were built from the heart with that sort of thing in mind.

Honestly, any headset is better than no headset. You don't even need a Turtle Beach. I'm fairly certain there are $30 converters that will let you BT with your PS3 and use a standard PC headset if you so desire.
