I like how everyone on these forums are always so POSITIVE.

Never could take an imperfect seriously and never will this in my eyes is just concentrated negativity

Here's the thing. Compared the the developers of said CoD and BF3, CCP is a pretty small company. This means a few things.

First, CCP probably can't develop content as fast as those big companies.
Second, CCP doesn't need as many customers as those big companies.
Third, every time there is an update to Dust, Dust will be the new shiny, so people will check it out, if even for a little while. So long as actual progress is being made, this will likely be enough to maintain a modest but growing playerbase - much like Eve.

The last time DUST was "new and shiny" was back during the october update.

lol...

The reason i state this in the title is because I believe it.


The 3-6 month release cycle will backfire. Most FPS titles know you have to update content at regular intervals. As a customer if you wait 1/2 a year for new content in a game, odds are, you will buy a "shiny new" game and forget about said old game.

If the new build is mind blowingly awesome, our boredom might be relieved for 1-2 months.

If the new build is average, alot will see this as a sign of bad development and move on to something with a future.

If the new build is horrible, we will look at each other and nod our heads knowingly and then move on.


With delays in content that take this long, you (CCP) are shooting yourselves in the head (cash register). By waiting 6 months to put out new content, you are relying on your player base to "invent" ways to make the game playable. If noone likes the new build, we have to wait another 6 months for new toys? Who wants to do that...


Ways to fix it:

1. Scrap the 3-6 month updates for big builds. Update with less content, more often.

2. I hate to mention other shooters, but take a page from BF3 or CoD. Roll out NEW (not reconfigured) new MAP packs bi-monthly (every 2 months for vocabulary impaired).

3. Roll out 1 new game mode bi-monthly (theres that word again). If this Domination game mode CCP is introducing is just like the one they had out there 3 months or so ago, no thanks. How hard is it to put one objective on the map and call it a new game mode... pretty easy i guess.

4. Communicate to the player base your ideas and "supposed" time frames. Your paying customers would love to give you their opinions and pay to do so, listen well and don't blow it off. As an example: Closed beta testers letting you know this game wasn't ready for open beta.


A few more i'll add later...

I'd be fine waiting a year if the game actually had some content. I could deal with the current weapons, vehicles, and even imbalances if we had more than two things to do and six places to them. Think about it. All uprising is adding is one game mode (if you can call it that) that not everyone can play, two weapons, some revamped skills, some weapon tweeks and some new maps( I think). Now thats all well and good, but there's still next to nothing to do. You still have play the same boring and often broken game modes hours on end to get ahead.

Are you saying all console players are too stupid to have any patience at all to wait 6 measly months? Don't insult our intelligence. Not all console players are like that.

Six to eight months isn't "nothing", and you question stupidity yet follow Contraband even after the PRO scam he had.

lol cyn
what game u know releases content regularly?
bf3 released dlc every 3-4 months
cod is pretty much the same thing

Another Imperfect Crybaby Thread.

Jeez the new build isn't even out yet and your crying about it. Just quit the game so you can stop QQing.
