Well I was happy to enter the game after downloading it but wasn't too impressed playing.

Some of the key aesthetics that I noticed playing today include:

++++Color, where is it? Did they forget to insert some blue, green, orange, etc into the game? Currently it's full of black and grey including the mercs CQ which needs more lighting. From the eve universe the planets seem as if they would be lush in forests and trees with tons of green but the battlefield is currently a wasteland of blackness.

+ Aiming down the sites is very slow moving side to side, I even turned the sensitivity up but it didn't help.

+ Noticed shooting from the hip seems just as accurate aiming down the sites.

+ Audio in the intro vids seemed to have static and wasn't too clear. Wasn't sure if this was intended but AURA's voice seemed choppy.

+ Matches were extremely quick

+ Any other game modes besides the two currently available? 10v10 death match or something?

+Character customization and moving between the different slots was a little awkward

Lastly, Pack exclusive for ps3 of the Guristas saga - caldari lav, 2000 AUR, 7 day active skill booster, and additional gear and weapons I haven't received. Not sure if this will become available for release and not beta but thought it was worth mentioning that I haven't received it.

Your Galante, so your merc quarters is that color. Different races have different themes in their quarters.

Again...it's a beta.

Things I like include: + Customization of character. + dropping into combat from the plane. + Ability to earn isk and skills at the same time.

The maps are based on a planet that IS a wasteland...hence the desert theme. Your Galante, so your merc quarters is that color. Different races have different themes in their quarters. It's a beta, so there's only a couple game modes so far. The pack that you have, you have to ACTIVATE IT to the merc you want. It's a beta...not a full game. Again...it's a beta.

Apologies about the shortness as we've all been hearing these sorts of critiques since the beginning. Believe it or not, it's really more like an investment/project with a dedicated community, than simply a game so enjoy the ride. As for critiques, the best thing to do would be to make some notes of things and pepper it with understanding (in this case, that we are in development) and then follow those up with some well-thought out ideas. The worst thing you'll find on these forums is when folks detract, but offering nothing in terms of ideas or improvement. Best of all, find some things you like about the gameplay/themes and make those apparent too. This makes for something worthwhile to read and encourages everyone to hear you out rather than shutting you down because we're tired of hearing complaints. Best of luck and cheers!

I'll certainly agree though that at the moment there is a very morbid tone to everything, but I think that's what they're trying to get at. While vegetation and color are very catchy, the appeal is rather to look dark and gritty. It would be nice though to get some more variation though, I agree. Eventually this will, inevitably with the different environments. (Ice, Barren, Lava, Gas, Storm, Plasma, Shattered, etc...am I missing one?) X)

Red Dot 24601-HA S.e.V.e.N. 36	Posted - 2013.01.21 01:47:00 - [14] - Quote No color...Play some more and I think you will eventually begin to see color. Dust is not your everday shooter. The gameplay mechanics are not the same as COD or Battlefield. Dust is much more ruthless. Dust will force you to stop and reload instaed of allowing you to run a marathon during the reload animation. Dust will grind you up and spit you out and get you sooo pissed off that you walk away or rally up your friends and retaliate. You will have to dedicate some time to this game to learn all the ins and outs. There a lot of reasons to hate dust but there are also lots of reasons to love it. Mainly for me its the progression, specialization, and depth. Loadouts require thought and investment. Vehicles are very expensive but offer great returns. Stick around. You may find you like it in New Eden.

Temperate planets should be a bit more green. I do like the closer to life color of some things, eve is real, not a cartoon.
KalOfTheRathi CowTek 168	Posted - 2013.01.21 06:32:00 - [19] - Quote We are currently fighting on a planet that is being contested. Between whom we do not know nor do we care. Later, different planets will be added which would probably expand the color options versus the current DUST ball we are on. No, you cannot load while sprinting because that is a game decision. Not all games support it. If CCP decides to support it later don't be surprised when it requires SP and everybody will remember the Hop3lesS Skill being your fault. Iron sights are an issue. Yep. As designed. Get better. Or switch to Tactical ARs which is single shot and higher damage. If you are shooting from the hip, you are definitely less accurate and doing less damage. You just are not realizing it yet. As you improve your aiming skills you will see a Merc go down in just a few bullets to the head from an AR. From the hip, not so much. I prefer to call her Kitten In The Box or Kit B.
