Is voice chat still off by default in uprising? is push-to-talk still on by default?

Will the swarm-nosedive glitch be erradicated once and for all?

Voice was on by default, push to talk was off on our test clients.

Thank you

Behavior. Of swarms are a bit different, they don't get stuck anymore if they hit anything to close, in fact the explode now. Didn't have time to see if they had any other issues but they seem more straight forward shooting and would seem prone to losing track of targets.

Heavys everywere are dreading the new build, and durring the "Ask us anything!" event the devs said "watch at fanfest" or "were looking into it" and the classic, tottally ignored all other questions about the heavy suit. Riddle them this; will heavys have reduced upper tier prices on gear and/or have any stat/slots changes to the suit?

When are "cliffs, caves and bridges" coming as a map?

How many drop-suit variations are coming with uprising?

Suit prices where normalized, suits of one tier cost about the same.
Weaponry has been nerfed to 0%damage. All damage + skills except turrets and proficiency has been removed.
Armor repair skill armor plate shield extenders and booster skills all increased module effectiveness and not fittings.
Three fitting skills to max out at 15% + to CPU and pg.

I'll help out as well.

Ask them if they have any plans to speed up developement. I am not trying to be a smart @$$ here or anything. This is an honest question. I would really just like to know what the hell kind of difficulties they are coming up against that has slowed developement to an excruciating crawl over the last year. So very little content has been added to this game, in a year! And so little content will be being added in the up come build, and I am just puzzled (and frankly quite frustrated) about why.

When you ask this question, don't let them ham-sting you into accepting the PR/PC response they most definitely have concocted by now inorder to give the public the cold shoulder. Really pry into the subject with them. See what you can get out of them concerning the matter.

When are we going to hear about some actually new information? Aside from the spawn cloak and UVT removal, nothing mentioned in the Dust 514 keynote was new information.
When will the jumpacks and the "speeders" mentioned in the AMA going to be talked about?

Will they balance AV? Proto swarms hit armor about 3200+ w damage mods right now.

Its speeding up now, the move to TQ was the hurdle. Uprising only took three months of actual work. The sever move and foundation building has been eating up majority of the development. Now that most of that is behind it should be speeding up.

When do i get a proper prototype HAV?

The Black OPS HAV is not prototype, its more of a sub specialization

The AUR and PSN tanks are not included either because you need real money to buy them where as in the dropsuits every line has an ISK equivelent

Also

When will we be able to take out vehicles with no turrets on them altogether

I asked Blam this in IRC once. I don't think he really thought it was something anyone wanted. You have to kick up a fuss if you want stuff like that.

Oh god, they're actually listening to the Jetpack Lobby? I can't see any positive outcomes to this.

To lay this out, imagine a Minmatar Scout suit with a jetpack and a shotgun, and then watch these videos:

I think you can now see why I'm leery.

What is the solution they are implementing to combat Redzone Abuse and AFK Farming, and when will it be implemented?

World
of
Darkness

They-¦re having a table but don-¦t know if will be streamed or not, so....

Also sensitivity is defaulted to 50/50

I'll help out as well.

Sigh that just proves that they don't read the forums, or that someone reads it but doesn't tell anyone about it and just forgets it the next day.

Being able to remove turrets from vehicles have been wanted for like 8 months.

will the color schemes be an aurum feature?

Who the hell wanted that...?

Will they speed up loading contact lists and chat channel lists of players?

Will the "in game" status in contact lists work now?

Will you get a proper bounce error message when you send an invite to someone who is in-game or already in a squad?

Similarly, will the PSN friends lists be used?

These features add to the social aspect of the game. I should be able to start the game and check which of my PSN friends are online. I should be able join their (unlocked & non-full) squad or join the game they are in, if possible.

Will we ever get that micro minigun they have as concept art?

The communication tree Def needs to be in, do like mag have squad always on but push to talk for command

CCP has a large number of guns they want to add.

Ask them about it man. Pry! Get them when they're drunk and feeling comfortable. Lul them into a false sense of security, then press the subject. It's called investigative journalism. Hopefully one of you brought a pocket recorder, so that when you post it on the forums you have something to back yourself up with. You guys (CPM) are supposed to be working with our (the dust community) best interests in mind. Now get out there and give them hell.

Are heavies getting any love in Uprising? Or do we have to wait until the next update?

Who the hell wanted that...?

I asked a lead design on the one.

This is not going to be an answer you are going to like, I'll admit I didn't like it either.
Basically CCP believes that trying to spend time to balance for now or later is an issue for itself.
So example why balance sentinels and heavies now if we haven't brought out the second heavy specialization class?

Heavies are in a very weird position similar to tanks. They see good players 'spiking' the boards but the average player doesn't seem to know how to play or fit the heavy suits. There is also the issue of how to balance the smart heavy against its future cousins from gallente caldari and minmatar.

So to boil it down we need you guys to continue help give feedback.

Then ask them why they still want to balance things based on pub matches?

Tell them to look at corp matches and balance things from those. That way we might get them to do something about scouts, heavies and tanks.

When they say "vehicle handling is improved" what exactly does that mean??? less sliding around perhaps???

What have they done in regards to laser rifle variations? and what exactly did they do to "nerf" it? if its been nerfed at all?

When do they plan to open up more faction warfare space? (to conquer and everything?) why have they limited it to only one region from the start? is the player base too small?

How many new skills have been added? and how many knew weapons have been added? Any new types of variations to weapons?? (for example something additional to the sub veriations of the AR such as the Tact rifle, breach, burst....?).

Whats the outlook on a simple player trading tool? Plus how will they manage to refund our officer weapons on may 6th?? what exactly is and isn't being refunded??

Finally.... what is the beer like in Iceland?

Can they give us any information on MTACs?

Please?

Just a little?

First off: this is the right way to win over the community :D

First question: Will CCP be bringing us more smaller/medium content/bug fix patches post-Uprising, rather than saving every piece of content they make for the next big release? (I.E. Is it possible we'll see the next batch of content BEFORE the 3-6 month build?)

and Second question: MTAC's, short term, long term, or "eventually"?

......lol

PS: Judging by ur post "heavies in a similar position to tanks" does that mean tanking is still the 2-shot bs or is it goin back to when u actually had to work and use ur brain to get a kill?

Is vegetation confirmed in Uprising or will we have to wait 6 months for interesting maps?

Will we be getting chat-timestamps, an EVE clock or prone?

Where is the command structure (like the still-missing MCC Commander) and the compartmentalized command chats and proximity chat for other blues? This game will require a high level of communication so hopefully talking to our allies won't be left to OSMOSIS and PSYCHIC POWERS.

They corrected mouse DPI.

prob missed mine IWS

Eve clock is in uprising.

Comms I still haven't found the right guy yet

They corrected mouse DPI.

They said they are working on vehicle balance, can you ask them if they did anything about vehicles in Uprising other than adding fancy colors, especially HAV and dropship survivability, explosive paint on dropships and swarms that hit across the map.

Dis they fix any of the issues with sixaxis controls?

Deadzone in particular, and making sure fine aim is actually possible with small movements of the sticks.

What freighter looks like an MCC?

It's not any of these:
