Lance 2ballzStrong SyNergy Gaming 910	Posted - 2013.03.22 23:57:00 - [1] - Quote CCP I am aware you took it down for a reason, and you told us you were going to put it up later. You didn't. I'm not being a rebel, or trying to anger you guys over at CCP, but many people are wondering what was said, and people only got the gist. If I'm breaking any forum rules, I apologize, and hope you don't perma ban me for sharing the info that was temporarily available to everyone that clicked in time. Obviously I'm missing the pictures. Equipment Is Your Friend Jan01 Success on the battlegrounds of DUST 514 is about more than just who has the biggest gun. Equipment plays a vital part in defining the role you play on the battlefield. Fit a nanite injector to your assault type II dropsuit and youGÇÖre a front line medic, resurrecting your fallen team mates. Fit a repair tool and you become a combat engineer, repairing damaged dropsuits and vehicles as well as giving your squad active armor repair during a firefight. The fondly nicknamed GÇÿlogibroGÇÖ logistics dropsuits are of course the kings of battlefield equipment usage. With more equipment slots than any other dropsuit class they can carry multiple equipment types making them incredibly useful squad mates. A Logistics A-Series can for example, resupply his squad with nanohives, provide tactical spawn locations with drop uplinks and keep them fighting fit with a repair tool. ItGÇÖs been really interesting to see what types of equipment have been the most popular during the Beta so far. In first place we have the ever popular Nano Hive with an epic 106,537,393 units purchased for ISK! Following this we then have repair tools, remote explosives and lastly drop uplinks, but even together they couldnGÇÖt topple the mighty Nano Hive having collectively sold 104,913,684 units. If you check out the graph below you can see the relative popularity as well as the massive spike when we opened up the Beta floodgates. So you know that there are a bunch of new weapons rolling off the New Eden production lines in the next update but what about equipment? Well, weGÇÖre planning on reintroducing the Active Scanner. Some of the veteran Beta players may remember itGÇÖs rather buggy first appearance (followed by rapid disappearance) last year during the closed testing. WeGÇÖve taken some time to retool itGÇÖs functionality, add new HUD elements and feedback mechanisms so soon it will be back, new and improved! The scanner is a powerful squad support tool, your enemies will have nowhere to hide as you scan and transmit their positions to your squad mates. I expect to see a rise in the popularity of profile dampener modules once the new scanners roll out as people try to mask their signals. A-45 Linear Active Scanner Sending out a triggered pulse of high-frequency magnetometric waves and interpreting the results with an uplinked onboard computer, the Active Scanner gives ground units a snapshot of enemy positions. Projection nodes set at specific angles on the hand-held device, generate a vectored impulse capable of extracting objects from high-noise environments. Feedback from the pulse is filtered to reduce ambient clutter and pinpoint targets lacking IFF signals. Though the amount of energy required to produce the blast is much greater than its on-board power source can readily generate, the Active Scanner makes use of redundant J-24 micro-capacitors to circulate and build the charge up to the required output. The resulting delay between activations is a small price to pay for the enormous tactical advantage the device provides its user, even considering that the amount of sensor backscatter generated reveals the user to all nearby enemies at the same time it is detecting their positions. Layered hybrid steel casing prevents atmospheric matter and hostile electronic effects from hampering functionality Recursive capacitors rapidly transition a small amount of initial charge into the much larger pulse required for scanning Wireless uplink sends feedback data directly to the TACNET, instantly updating the heads-up-display with enemy positions So thatGÇÖs what you can expect in the next update, but what about beyond that? There are two equipment items on the top of our list that we want to get in to the game as soon as we can. The first is a Shield Generator. Ever wished for some cover where there isnGÇÖt any? Wish no more, with the shield generator youGÇÖll be able to deploy your own personal static shield bubble. Pretty handy when a ship is dropping bombs on your head from orbit or youGÇÖve been caught in the open by an enemy trying to melt you with a laser rifle. The second item is a Cloaking Field. This sneaky bit of kit will not only make you (almost) invisible to other combatants, it will also blind turret AI targeting systems. It isnGÇÖt perfect invisibility, scanners will still pick you up if you havenGÇÖt masked your signal well enough, motion will disrupt the field to some extent and weapon fire will cause the field to shut down. This means it will take some skill to use to its maximum potential. This item is going to be a real game changer, particularly for Scout dropsuits which have been screaming out for stealth gear. There are quite a few more items on our list as always (one begins with a w) but I think thatGÇÖs all weGÇÖll be revealing for now. CCP Wolfman

Might be the time zone difference but their tomorrow might not have been my today. (It was late Thursday when posted which would make it their Friday, which would mean their tomorrow might be later tonight or early tomorrow morning)

Maybe the new equipment mod perms broke another game feature and won't be coming now, after making a dev blog. Who knows.

Cat Merc Planetary Response Organisation Test Friends Please Ignore 191	Posted - 2013.03.23 00:45:00 - [7] - Quote That's it? Really? Didn't expect it to be so short. Considering they are introducing three new equipment items. (Well, re-introducing one of the three, but still)

GeneralButtNaked ZionTCD Legacy Rising 183	Posted - 2013.03.23 00:50:00 - [9] - Quote After having read it, it is actually more dissapointing. I thought they were introducing all three in the next build. Instead, we get one and some more promises. I am starting to think the CCP motto is "Distract them with promises, and keep taking the cash"

Maken Tosch Planetary Response Organisation Test Friends Please Ignore 1721	Posted - 2013.03.23 00:54:00 - [11] - Quote Actually, this is a little more informative than I thought. At least we now have a vivid idea on how cloaking would work and the introduction of shield generators which is news to me.
Luke Vetri D3ath D3alers RISE of LEGION 50	Posted - 2013.03.23 00:54:00 - [12] - Quote Ok, so now I think even the most die hard CCP fans are going to start to scratch their heads and wonder if we will ever get any solid information rather than just tit bits and teases...

Ask the EVE players about much wanted (And needed) fixes/reworks that they have been promising for years and have never come. Heck, they have been promising stuff about Dust since 2008. Took them a while to get the game going.

No one is forced to be making Dust for us. We don't know anything else because the devs are complete female dogs about telling anyone anything. Except for teasers to keep us from fleeing en masse if we could tell how long until the next build. If the devs were honest and said they want to release PC with the next Eve expansion in June, people playing Dust right now would stop buying Aurum until then. So rather than say anything, they shut up and pretend like nothing is wrong while they keep pocketing whatever cash the dum dums want to still put into the beta.

There are plenty of devs in the community, just ask. Secondly, they are charging money for stuff in the game, if they want money they have to be at least as good as their competition, instead having better PROMISES.

Nick, you want a clue? Do you know why we don't know? Here it is brother: because they don't tell us. How hard is it to communicate? How difficult to explain? How dangerous is the truth? They can do these things whenever they choose (points at FoxFour). The fact is they choose not to. Why? Your guesses are as good as mine. Ask mr Reid. He is not talking either. Enough soon. Enough silence. Enough nothing. Enough is enough
