Back in the very early stages of the closed beta, when there was a MAG style map and dancing faeries for Assault users, we...the MAG community warned you.

We'd just come off of the greatest failure in the history of FPS gaming. And we told you what to avoid.

YOU LEARNED NOTHING

You are sacrificing your own game for the want of brain dead CoD and BF players.

The two best corps in this game, namely Imps and PFBHz , were created by MAG players (PFBHz being a hybrid of two MAG clans). And everything we've ever told you, you either ignored or discounted.

How many times did we tell you not to dumb the game down? How many times did we tell you that catering to casuals will not get you anywhere? Thousands. And you failed to listen.

You've created an RPG game with an FPS battle platform and you've basically ported EvE to console FPS.

In what universe does that appeal to the "plug, play, and prestige" crowd?

There is already a Call of Duty, and a Battlefield....why do you feel the need to create a game that apes those two? I understand the money aspect of it. Those hoards of players coming out of the wood works with their hard earned cash. But EvE isn't the same as WoW....why expect DUST to be CoD in terms of sales.

The most important lesson we learned from MAG was that you cannot create a game that is smarter than 75% of the FPS player base and then just patch it so that it's dumb enough to pick up the low hanging fruit.

Maybe that wasn't your intention, but that's what you've done with Uprising. Basically it's screw everyone but the medics and AR users. "options" are out the door. You don't even have a timeline for the new heavy suits. You've actually increased the SP required to be buffed out in this game, and then really dumbed down the gameplay.

And you have no filtering system yet in place. I have had people I know IRL d/l this game, play for an hour, and delete it of their PS3 because they went 0/17 because they got stuck in a game with Proto wearing guys from the closed beta. I was using a 4mill SP Alt today and was getting my ass handed to me. EVERYONE, not just he MAG community told you this was a bad idea and it should have been your first priority. What was one of your first priorities? KBM support for the EvE Mousejockies.

And who the hell QA'd this build? Seriously. Did anyone actually drive a tank or play as a Heavy for this build? The key to the really successful Heavies was that we used proficiency most times to level 4. That was our edge. There was no need for a damage AND range nerf.

I thought CCP prided themselves on not listening to the Carebears. And if you aren't listening to Carebears then who are you listening to? The guys from DICE you brought in from 2142?

All that being said, there were some great strides made in this build, some truly good features were added and the maps look great...but to destroy an entire class they way you have the Heavy...you went too far. And what's with the chop on LAV's and what the hell happened to the tank rail guns?

I can tell you right now, that unless the direction of this game changes, you've seen the last merc pack from me and likely will never see more than 5K on a server.

If PC doesn't add to the "meta" of this game like everyone is hoping, you're just gonna be pushing rope.
