I really hope this group is not a powerless figurehead but I have been gaming long enough to know how bad the red tape can be. too often gaming companies make these groups but they dont have any power. would still like to know how known afk farmers got on the team. why are you rewarding people who dont play the game ccp?

here is my list whats yours?

voicechat default on
afk farming gone
terrain glitch
command structure
friendly fire
450% scrambler pistol headshot foolishness
assault type 2, b series, vk1 shields
vehicle finite ammo
vehicle locks
only free vehicles should explode
mass driver not cqc weapon

chat timestamps pretty basic too. no excuse for it not being in. we should no longer see vanishing nanohives or drop uplinks. we should probably see points for destoying enemy assets as well.

totally agree on the command ladder and finite vehicle ammo as well.

Alliance support...

I would like to see a buff to the regeneration speed or self armor repairers. The regeneration differnece btween armor and shields is ridiculous. I would like to see it changed from 2,3,5 armor/sec to something like 4,6,9 armor/sec.

is it a SoonGäó blog that will come out the day before Uprising? Or will we get a week to digest the new info?

The smoke goes both ways, MD users have to aim at the feat with the smoke up, and aiming at the feat will almost always mean splash for the user in CQC. Let's not paint this black and white, we have to see you first, we have to have stable ground, and we have to manage our range or we die to our own weapons in order to stand a chance in CQC. Nerfing the standard MDs CQC capabilities will make the standard nearly worthless compared to the Assault MD, which has next to no CQC capabilities without the Flux.

That's the whole point of the Mass Dirver; to area deny. MD users don't need a nerf, we already have hit detection issues, we will always lose against elevated targets, and people are still hopping over our explosions.

Iron wolf I have a higher level concern and its more of a Roadmap issue. One of the original features of dust that was announced early in closed Beta and lately we have heard very little about is the commander role and the RTS type gameplay from the mcc. I really think this was going to be another huge differentiator to dust in its market. The last we heard anything about it was briefly discussed months ago in a dev blog. I would like to know if this idea has been scrapped and if not where is it on the roadmap.

A lot of mercs have asked recently about things like when the map table will show something meaningful or when wee will be able to place assets on the battlefield like selecting where a CRU is placed at the beginning of the battle by the field commander (which are small pieces of the ultimate FC RTS pie).

I would really appreciate it if as our CPM rep you would bring this up with the Dev's and express to them how much this one feature could really make dust even more unique and a very enjoyable way of making the tactical/strategy aspects of the game a way to attract an even broader audience.

Thanks and on a side note I may not always agree with you but certainly you would have been on my short list if we had to vote for CPM members.



I agree completely and this is exactly why I say that I would have voted for iron wolf as he has been very involved with the community already. I also think he has done so with no agenda other than trying to improve the game. I don't believe everyone elses motives have been as transparent.

Oh I certainly concur that there are more pressing issues that need more immediate attention (i wouldnt necessarily agree the shooter part of dust sucks but perhaps Needs improvement). I just hope that doesn't cause this feature to be lost and hope that you will express its importance. This is also why I said it was more of a roadmap concern since I don't expect it to be immediate but I also hope it isn't pushed so far out that it becomes forgotten.

QFT!!! tanks is basically a super heavy. cant have unlimited rounds too.

If the CPM cant get basic stuff like FF, chat stamps, voicechat on its worthless.

1. Wrong - A cargohold does not take any PG/CPU, it is a space in any vehicle to store loot and ammo in general in EVE, plus its a vehicle what car or plane doesnt have room to hold extra ammo?

3. Logi LAVs are weak to any kind of AV, to rely on a bluedot to give me ammo no, to rely on a squad member or member of the same corp/alliance i could get behind but LAVs need to be better in general

5. Wrong - i have solo'd many tanks and done it the 1st time, i rarely need 10tries to do it and i can just keep pinned behind ther redline instead

6. It makes them weaker because we dont have several mechanisms in place so bluedots will waste ammo, relying on bluedots is even worse and we dont even have a vehicle nanohive or LAV vehicle nanohive mod or whatever

Until locking and eject mechanisms and cargoholds are in place for all vehicles then i wont support it because i cannot control who is in my vehicle and its pure BS that i cannot stack up on ammo in my bay

Ignoring nonsense about certain play styles needing buffs/nerfs, I think one higher level thing that should really be pushed is PVE content. I understand that it is being worked on and they really want to make it engaging and enjoyable but it really needs to come sooner rather than later. The new game mode would give Dust so much more depth and allow people bored of the same old old pubstomps and redlinings something else to do.
