Dust 514, he says, is very active, previously telling Joystiq that "hundreds of thousands of people" have joined the closed beta.

TL;DR

Things have improved, and continued to improve. Sure they're not where they need to be, but they're getting there.
Graphics are bad, but they were worse before.
Mechanics and hit detection are not perfect, but they were way worse before (especially hit detection).
Next build will be primarily fixes.

About the imbalance of players specifically, CCP has confirmed that highsec will have a matchmaking system that matches players by skill points, so they don't get matched with players with far more skill points than they do. If you have a specific constructive solution, go post it in the Feedback/Request forum instead of just bashing.

You complain about the negatives and point to them as if they signify some great failure on CCP's part, yet ignore all the improvements and fixes.

(you seem to like being a twit on forums have you considered trolling dead peoples facebook pages? seems about your style)

Do you ever return to the forums and wonder where all the likes you got came from? I do.

So do I, so do I. Just how does a forum poster with so many different alt accounts get so many likes?

How do they do it?

I think its better to be a fanboi who enjoys playing the game despite its flaws, then to be a hateboi who claims to hate the game while spending hours everyday being a wanker on the forums of said game, life is too short to waste, so why don't you move along to something you enjoy? (you seem to like being a twit on forums have you considered trolling dead peoples facebook pages? seems about your style)

How has this sociopath got 300 likes?

This _IS_ a beta.

Regnum, you've been about plenty on the IRC chan and that's cool. We need people to hold the developers accountable and give feed back. We all need to contribute... But you're not contributing to the development of this game. All you do in here and on the IRC is moan, moan and moan again to the point I had to block you after you started calling people ignorant fanboys whenever you were proven wrong. Even after CCP devs TOLD YOU you were wrong!

I have to ask, with your blatant trolling and baiting, how have you not been banned yet? How have you not been kicked off the beta? If you're going to post on the forums, make it about the game. If it is about the game I strongly suggest you work on your delivery because it's lost in a wave of crap no one can be bothered wading through.

We're still over 365 days away from release and here you are complaining it's not running\playing like a released game. I think you've played one too many mass marketed betas. This is a real beta, not an exclusive demo. You drag these forums down and i'd like you to keep your drivel to yourself, or get constructive.

Please.

Who are you again? Do I know you?

Firstly, CCP suggests to be constructive. I refuse. I spent money on this BUST 514 and I intend to wait it out at least until the game releases.

How about you first find something constructive in this waste of 6gb we call a beta, and I might post something constructive.

BTW thanking for proving my point.

Not once has anybody been able to rebuttal my points, all you Fanbois can do is make personal attacks, and say... ITS A BETA.

[email protected] is where you go to request a refund. You can easily free up that 6Gig by uninstalling the beta. Not sorry to see you go, honestly :P

I also love how you respond to everything with "LOL PERSONAL ATTACK" when all you do is exactly that.

Also no one responds to your "points" because you don't make any. You complain because your K/D might get hurt or the game is a bit buggy. We know. CCP most certainly know.

Man I miss Bek! He will have a field day with all these delusion fanboi's!

I have to say with each new build the game has gotten worst. And here is why.

Replication was probably the best build by far. The only problem was the terrible frame rate and hit detection issues. Also hard freezing every 2 games.

But from a balance stand point, it is the greatest.
-Sniping took skill to use
-to get to tanks, you need to get LAV V
-the balance between tanks and AV was actually balanced because swarms were not useless. Plus many players used swarms because it worked against infantry like it should.
-Skirmish was actually fun to play and battle.
-heavies were heavies, assaults were assaults, scouts were scouts.

If CCP were to put Replication back in with all the upgrades from the new builds. We would all be congratulating CCP for doing such a great job! It would be fun and balance to play.

CCP has been over nerfing and buffing everything, making the game slower, and it's becoming not that fun. All they need to do is go back to the Replication with all the new gizmos.

Once again zero proof

Not surprised TBH

It's a real beta, not the finished game demo betas you get from EA etc

I could say alot about this comment but I wont apart from I have participated in may real betas for 20 years now and this one in terms of dev input is pretty shoddy at best.

Are you a professional beta tester?

What game did you test in 1992?

I Q/A R3 Beta

and O/A Halo 3 and Reach

Furthermore, PDIGGY was a professional Q/A Tester and CCP decided to PERMA ban him for speaking his mind.

GOOD JOB CCP

have you??

Don't lie man. You can't even get QA right.

It's QA, not Q/A.

Quality Assurance, not Quality/Assurance.

K bro, still hanging on my every word it would seem

wanna see my pay stubs from bungie

Sorry FANBOI FAN, but I look at reality.

Firstly, When I see a matchmaking system I will change my thread. Secondly, all they did to fix Hit detection was increase aim assist and decrease move speed. sorry I don't consider that a improvement.

Lastly, I will bash CCP as much as like, until they fix this game and make it playable. I am done being kind

FYI just be happy I am bashing on a closed forum. If we did not have NDA I would bash this game on Youtube

I have to agree considering how long they've been working on this. You can only blame beta for so long before everyone is wondering wtf you're doing and why things are still in crapfest mode.

TL;DR

I

I agree that it sucks that we have not progressed further into this beta. However we can not just blame ccp. Everytime they implement something the community goes 50/50 on it and we get a dillema going. So then we are stuck figuring out wheter there reallly is a problem, and then trying to fix it to where we can all agree.. but we can't agree. It's like american politics developing this game o.0

But it is a beta...

That isn't an excuse. It will just really help to clarify your thinking about Dust 514. Everyone knows the game needs work if it is to be a real game that people will invest in and play over months and years. Probably why they have not moved to open beta or beyond. If all of the obvious problems persist through open beta I would probably play for a few weeks after release then lose interest. That is only reasonable.

As far as "balance" I am not investing in a CCP game for the type of balance that you find in Call of Duty. The supposed "imbalance" between vets and new players is something I want to see in game.Whenever I see posts about balance that treat the word with some sort of almost religious fervor andreverenceand posts that go on and on about balanceI wonder why those advocating for the type of balance where everything is basically the same as everything else are even here.

This game is a simulaton of war, its a game for groups to create countrie. FPS is a tool in DUST 514 to be used to do whatever you can.

An empire involves the extension of a group's sovereignty over external territories. For example, first the Spanish Empire and then the British Empire were called "the empires on which the sun never sets", because of their territories and economies around the globe

Aside from the traditional usage, the term empire can be used in an extended sense to denote a large-scale business enterprise (e.g. a transnational corporation), or a political organisation of either national-, regional- or city scale, controlled either by a person (a political boss) or a group authority (political bosses).

Once player driven markets are implemented balance will get worse, because the amount of money or materials in the universe will not be fixed and, as such, the economy operates under supply and demand

Some dust514 player characters will operate primarily as traders, buying, selling.

When sovereignty is implemented, the ownership of districts on planets that are capable of creating industry. This player ownership system will be dynamic as it will be subject to PvP diplomacy as well as subjugation. It will only create more imbalance

I expect real Dust player to cut the power off to youre house locally just to keep you offline, and, or others, to launch invasions. That's the game I have in mind.

Remember just prior to the Cylon attack on the Colonies, Roslin was the Secretary of Education.

During the attack, Roslin responds to "Case Orange", the official Colonial Government emergency automated signal, and is informed that she is the highest ranking surviving member of the Presidential line of succession, and is sworn in as President

Frankly due to the game's focus on freedom, consequence, and autonomy, many behaviours that are considered griefing, illegal, broken, im-unbalanced in most MMOs are allowed in DUST514.

Yes; there will be tournaments just as the Olympics with rules and balance for the balance type. War however is not the Olympics where countries play nice competivily with rules derka derka harde har har

Regnum that group youre in, has media, youre group has a culture, a great military, great propagandists, you just really upset the influence you had in MAG, compared to now, is gone. That CCP will not balance the way you want ever, so why try? CCP will be CCP on balance. Ther stuff such a framerate issues, latency, gun mechanics is a legit complaint, other stuff is not!
