I am sorry to inform you that this is not a finished product.

It is in fact a work-in-progress, it is still in beta.

I was going to say wait untill fanfest, but given your past in shooters I'm just gonna say you should leave now.

Typically development goes more like:
Alpha: get all the content in
Beta: polish and balance the content
Release: The core mechanics are working as intended (more or less).

then come patches and expansions.

I know we are in a crazy age of game development and sales post Minecraft and Kickstarter but when I see this kind of arbitrary use of terms it irritates me.

If CCP want to say this game is in beta then players have a right to be concerned with the lack of content. The whole idea of polishing and balancing combat before adding all of the weapon and suit types has confused me since I joined in closed beta.

I realize that CCP have their own way of doing things and respect what they did with EVE Online but I can absolutely understand people's concerns with Dust and general lack of prolonged interest.

I just hope a good build hits before ps4, or this game is toast.

Hope this game is on ps4 as soon as ps4 is out so it will be on ps3 and ps4 cuz I wont go back to ps3 when ps4 comes out

Please wait until the game is finished to formulate an opinion, this game is a beta, a prototype, just a glimpse of what's to come. Be patient.

I love how CCP just seems to play Jenga with dust "lets see how many **** we can stack up with a mediocre base until everything falls"

How about you do like the whole MOBA developers have been doing with their betas, fix the issues THEN release new stuff.

Just a thought.


And yes I hate the "its a beta" excuse, just cause its a beta doesnt mean that it has to be poorly done, thats what alphas are for, kid.

I love this game and what can and could be, will be awesome... BUT they need to move it along..

If they want the population to stick around and get new people to play they need to keep it moving..

New Maps (what I want to see), planets, weather, customize camo or weapon color, taking over control of planets etc needs to be put in place for the PS3 so it can gain momentum onto the PS4.. I will ride with this game til the wheels fall off but most wont wait...

My interest is lost.


The next build is going to make or break it for me.

I've been here since build 1 of closed beta.

We know this isn't the full version but progression has been very slow.

Yes devs have a weekly feedback, however, they say things like

Looking into redline abuse, the next week its something else with 0 updates of what they discussed for redline abuse.

1 year later and we haven't even seen 90% of the things said they would be fixing.


We get hardly any real feedback and if they did implement something we suggested or that we want balanced more, they do their own thing hoping its right without working along side the community to balance things out.

We've been lacked in content for a year, I mean really? 1 year and very little has changed.

This game has great potential.

If it doesn't speed up by the time ps4 gets on market then it will flop.

Psn players are not like PC players, once something flops the player base is dead and stays so.


There needs to be more content and need for Corp battles than just fame and glory.

Market trading needs to be open,

Terrain bugs need fixed,

Graphics need smoothed,

DS's need their WP's,

AV vs Vehicles need fixed,

Large missile turrets need fixed,

Railguns need to be more effective,

AR's need their internal tier system reworked for dps and recoil between militia and proto,

LR needs skills to work and be applied,

AV grenades need reworked,

Swarms need reworked,

Hit detection needs improvement,

These are just a few thing in a long list that a year hasn't been solved and slowly moves forward, though moving backwards faster then forward

I totally agree with pretty much everything that you say.The lack of content and polish for a game that's been in development for this long is teetering on unacceptable,mainly because of the lack of communication to the players from CCP.

The more and more I think about it,the more I'm of the realization that this game will never be finished for the PS3.I would bet almost anything that CCP has the dev tools for PS4,and are maximizing it for the new console.I'm thinking that we are just lab rats testing that most basic systems so that they can just easily transfer that data into the PS4.

As slowly as this game is moving into becoming a full release,that's the only thing that really makes any sense at this point.The progression of development is just taking way too long for anything else other than they just don't know what the hell they are doing,to be the case.

I thought this too, until I found out CCP is not registered for development with Sony for any PS4 porting ect.

So technically atm, they can't be using tools for it.

Just curious,but where would you find this information? I know that Sony had a big screen of devs that they showed during last Wednesday's press conference,but I'm not sure that just because CCP wasn't listed necessarily means that they don't have the dev tools for PS4.

On the other hand,to play my own devil's advocate,even though CCP has clearly stated that they have plans to bring Dust to the PS4,that doesn't necessarily mean that Sony is ready for them to bring the game to the next gen console.If that truly is the case,then it's obvious that Sony is taking a wait and see approach of how Dust will do on the PS3.In that case,they really need to get their **** together,otherwise this game is doomed to an outdated console that will never be able to handle the full scope of what Dust 514 is going to demand.
