Um, haven't people been saying this for the entire length of the beta?

From my personal experience:
I'm playing for the cap every week and that's it... Not going to buy more Merc packs until I really see some new stuff...
GAGAH, Maurus and Z mile: Brazilian guys and my friends all left the game because of the lack of updates...
Why I still play? The idea behind all this game is AMAZING!
But I must admit, the game needs LOTS of work and I'm afraid that the DEV team isn't big enough to make all the changes needed (They are making some miracles tbh....) .

Today the released a new video for dropsuit and I said to myself "Get ready to see the new dropsuits here :D" Then after I saw, what a let down.......... The same stuff repeated over and over again!
I want drones, I want my Amarrian Dropsuit, I want battles for my own land, I want MOARRRRR!!!!
Meanwhile I will play GoW Ascencion, and if this game don't update, gonna play Defiance ...

Art team is the bottle neck on that, the dev blog is all written up, its waiting on screen shots still.

I understand, still had a huge disappointment... I was really hoping to see more info on the new dropsuits in the video...

I know I would like to see where the slow boat is going. I am more interested in the FW blog but last time I bothered the author he stated not everything was set in stone yet, which meant coding or art hasn't even started, however with foxfour rambling about its assumed already done and being worked on and cannot be spoken about yet, so exploratory process is already done and green-lit for final project. The devs have been saying soon without the tms more frequently on the irc channel as well. Which further means they have a very good idea when they're going to get done. Just it is still liable to change and not to be announced until the concrete hardens.

Oh they're real, IA would kill though.

Sorry dude, one forum warrior interjecting your comeback to a majorly distributed podcast hardly makes me feel better. You can dilludw yourself all day but the fact remains that when you leave the safety of the fanboy forums, everyone is calling this game underdeveloped and just simply bad.

Why don't you roll with your corp then?

If you go lone wolf like myself... You have to pay that price of not being able to rely on anyone, this is why I can probably mow though a squad without support at times.

This is also what makes me a very dangerous team player when I am squadded up.

I think Regnum said it better than I ever could Ironwolf...
And for those that need a summary in video of Ironwolfs past posts... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hfYJsQAhl0

The gist of every complaint about the lack of updates ever.

Do I sense a feeling of jealousy?
Do I sense a notion of ignorance as well?
Do you realize that I mostly test the game, write down problems and submit bug reports while they're fresh on my mind?
Do you realize that I take testing priorities over gaming priorities?
Do you realize that as much as I would love to play the game, due to real life priorities which makes playing the game even possible have to tended to?

So lets break this down...

Last kills states reset was Jan 10th, there have been 55 regular days since then.
Of which only 16 of those are weekends which I normally don't play so that reduces the number of days to
39 Days

I get one hour much less on a business day give or take to play dust 514. While I would like to play dust much longer I have things to do as mentioned earlier.

Matches are give or take 20 minutes apart with down time between for restocks, skill upgrades, logging bugs, issues, stats, thoughts on weapons used and trying to recall any abnormalities of that fight if any, shopping new items and the sorts of breaks plus the spin up to the next match. I also check posts between matches to make sure what I experience is not already logged or unique on the forums this takes time as well as people don't catalog their bug naming conventions.

So that makes it about 48 kills a day if it where to be spread out on days I can or could play and well there are times I have less than an hour to play in. So there are and have to be days I do well over 48 kills in less than an hour to make for days I have missed during the business days.

Now you want to talk about team work? what about the logistics with only 500 kills since reset? yet he has more WP than you and I combined? is he a scrub?

Or what about that guy with 4000 kills but 0.25 win loss ratio? you call these guys scrubs all the time but according to your newest statement he's a big boy?

Or how about that ash-lands skirmish mode is the only one tracking kills for a few days and took sometime to fix? Oh you're too busy e-peen stroking your latestunphased kdr was during that time probably.

The point is I don't play at all
I TEST the beta.

Not this again.

Unless I'm very much mistaken the 3-6 months quoted is in reference to post release expansion content, not beta content updates.

Chicken came first if you believe in evolution.
The Egg came first if you believe in creation.
The Chicken exists if you just believe.
The Chicken doesn't exist if you choose not to believe.
In Schroeder's vision if you close a refrigerator door does the eggs exist in the refrigerator still in one piece?

Also Energy power from chicken manure alone is extraordinary inefficient use of energy due to the higher feeding requirements to generate the manure in the first place, luckily unlike ethanol you can eat a chicken and had the chicken not been edible I would almost call it an unethical use of the limited land/water/food.

Arguably still the nuclear power plant per foot and per input energy is by far the most efficient and cost effective energy source. Everything else just about is border-lining close into the negatives.

Finally Germany had plans to invade America but it would have been though Greenland and the Atlantic Ocean not the pacific. Japan attacking America was partially America's own fault, after reprimanding the Japanese on the extraordinarily poor treatment of Chinese people during the war and taking away scrap metal sales an oil, and if Admiral Yamoto went back for a for a third air strike to take out the repair yards and oil fields and fully used the extent of his submarine fleet as the Germans did. WW2 in the Pacific would have been far bloodier and much more difficult as the last of the key critical to the war carriers would have been sunk by the subs and running on fumes by the time they got to California.

Luckily Mexico didn't join the axis powers and Germany, Italy and japan where not that great of a bunch of allies, and ultimately The Furor was an idiot commander and should never had done his general's jobs.

But hey if you want to relive WW2, you should probably move to Greece, I hear the golden dawn party is gaining strength after all those austerity measures had children of David robbing the people of their money again

FIGHT TO THE DEATH.

You can't test beta unless you play beta. I've seen you play and you are so bad your not good enough to be called a scrub. Unless you are giving game feedback from a bad players point of veiw I don't get what real contributions you make to the game. Well, except free kills to the other team

Lets talk team work.

I'm a logi with more then 4k kills, 5kdr, 4+ w/l ratio, and lots of war points. I also will squad with anyone and I am not an squad elitiest (I do die a lot and swear about it). I think I proved Regnums point just fine.

If someone wants to have a constructive discussion about combat mechanics would they pick me or you? I would win by default because you would be to busy theory crafting in the irc circle jerk channel instead of playing the damn game.

@ Iron Wolf

What are you trying to do here I'am all for people discussing openly about this subject. However, you have said the same thing ten times in different ways. It is helping no one and can arguably be considered SPAM.

Furthermore, in your argument against me you use the examples that BF3 and COD have long update times. Firstly, time as never been a issue. All I said is that if their builds are like the past, then its going to be very discouraging waiting 3-6 months for something new. Secondly, your right BF3 do release their updates late about 3-5 months. However, DICE has proven that each update it worth the wait. Whereas, CCP has proven nothing. Their updates usually consist of couple new things, and half of them are broken. Lastly, was it not you said we cannot compare DUST to a finished game, yet here you're comparing.

Sense I'am here Iron Wolf, Lets talk about you. Your the type of player who would rather sit on the sidelines holding a sign saying, "I <3 CCP No Matter What", then actually play the game. In my opinion, your feedback is worthless, unneeded, and ultimately hurts more then helps. Your the type that ruin games. The type that would rather blindly follow, even if it was over a cliff. I would rather have one person who respectfully challenges and pushes the Devs then then a hundred Iron Wolfs.

Now now, before someone starts spamming that little Flag. Let me just show you what facts and points, that have lead up to this conclusion of Iron Wolf:

1.) Iron Wolf Saber Total Kill sense last reset [1857]
It has almost been two months sense the last update, and you telling me you have less the 2000 kills.You have more likes then kills! Its ironic, because it looks like you stopped playing.... a long time ago. Your telling Vets how they should think when it comes to Dust, yet you don't even play it. The Vets our dealing with the now, well you lurk on IRC for a pat on the back.

2.) You Solo????


Your a solo player in a team game. This only further proves how little you know about the game. This game is designed around the squad. It is possible to solo play, but why would you. You're play the most simplistic part of Dust, which is a solo player in Pub-matches. However, once again you know more then the Vets that Corp battle and Specialize their squads to be more effective.

3.) You hardly Corp Battle

Recon on Fire proved that. Tell me the last time you corp battle a real corp this reset. CB's is the future of DUST, yet have you ever experienced more then 10??? Talk about the great schemes of CCP, yet your not here in the game testing the platform for Fraction War.

In sum, you hardly play anymore. When you do play, it is by yourself. My problem is that you make it seem like you understand all our problems and have experienced them yourself. That cannot be farther from the truth. Your not a vet. Your casual solo player who blindly follows the word of CCP. In my opinion, your words hold no shard of credibility and are, in reality, words of another new player who does really understand the game.

Next time you want to talk with the big boys. I suggest you stop lurking in IRC, and play the damn Game.

And that entities you an opinion over a casual gamer who's gear behind and having to deal with scubs with prototype gear?

Let me counter that your opinion is less valid because you have a formulated an idea of 'how things should be.'

Also the way you're pointing out your own arrogance and unwelcoming tone on how your pro club is its own special circle jerk as you like to call it is far more exclusive and much more entitled than any other 'club' in the game and that your opinion matters more than anyone else including the scrubs the new guys the casuals the freebies or payers or the very cannon fodder in your own squad, because I have never particularly recall anyone special in your squads. and unlike Regnum I have seen you twice since reset.

Hey guys. Old time beta tester here.. left last summer when the game started going down hill. I thought I would come back to see how the game is progressing, and this thread pretty much sums things up for me. Nice to see some of you old timers still here.. beers, noc, cyn.. had a blast playing with you guys back in the day.

I once had great expectations for this game, but lost faith in CCP's ability to deliver.. I'm amazed you guys have hung in there this long.. LOL

Guess I'll download the game to see what's new, but I'm not very optimistic from what I'm reading here..

So you claim to represent the low skill low sp point of veiw in dust? Fair enough then I'll let you have that. As for my tone please take as me laughing at you, not with you. I am embarrassed for you and that fact that you have to defend your CCP fanboi every time you post. You can't even constructively discuss anything that doesn't paint ccp in a good light. I have no problem saying when CCP is awesome and when they fail. It's never personal as I'd still buy them a few beers if I could.

All fps games if done properly are scaled to skill and balance at the top, not the bottom. This game will fail if ccp says "we should listen to the casual scrub player who would rather do pve then pvp. That will make dust better." When you play at the limits of the game you see things differently and how they impact play. dust has to balance gear and vehicles for corp battles not public play. Why? Thats the part of dust that matters. Thats where we interact with EvE.

I am part of a club, but its one for people that are honest regarding the current state of dust. Its a big club too.
