Huge threadnaughts are a-brewin'...

Anyways, I have to say one thing before I go on,


Take it easy on GM Unicorn, he is here to moderate the forums, and there are many spam threads starting to boil over and shutting out the original threads that had good, useful debate in them.

In that regards yes, I agree with GM.

But,


We are told to come up with hard numbers and stats to support our positions... Based of a line of patch notes that says "reduced range and damage on HMG"

No numbers to base it on...

Listen, the screaming and crying on these forums might not be positively uplifting at all, but it is basic concerns about the game, and people have been resorting more and more to GTFO noob instead of logic when arguing... Not good.

I am rather upset as a heavy player by these changes also, and the forums are the place to express our concerns and sometimes outrage. But spams are not the way to do it.

CCP could be more forthcoming about exact changes in terms of a numbers dev blog or forum post to make our calculations with. They also could step in and try to more directly understand the issues behind these things and respond in the good threads.

But I will hold my tongue until the 6th and make my judgement there. I will tell CCP what needs fixed, and they either get on the ball with it or fail. I care too much about DUST to see CCP make honest mistakes and destroy it.

I know CCP wants this game to succeed, but there are many stumbling blocks, internal and external. If they can adapt and push out updates faster I would be more forgiving. Atm, its too slow of a development process to deal with a situation for 6 months...

Game development is hard, we understand that, but there are also certain standards, and glacially slow content trickle and updates are a sure way to kill an incomplete game...
