Ofcourse that would be the only thing you would right away pick out from my post stankfeet and if you read my comment i never said they didnt have the right to make comments and post thoughts on balances maybe you need to reread a few more time

Pretty sure there were more members in ZTCD when I was in it then the entire current memberbase.

ZionShad is looking like a hero right now too.

EVERYTHINGS CHANGING :(

your comment indicates that you wish to exclude others than a few angry beta players from participating in testing.

thus limiting meaningful feedback to said players.

not a good precedent.

the new player experience is as critical to the game as the bittervets being happy

New players have as much right to make comment and post thoughts on balance. "I was here first" doesn't give any of us niche protection, nor should it.

Faction Warfare doesn't even work correctly in this build, you have to skill into dropsuit shield extenders in order to get vehicle extenders (Even though they have a vehicle shield extender skill now), and nanite injectors hardly ever work. CCP needs to work on its attention to detail. Grand plans are one thing but CCP is counting its chickens at the moment while the eggs sit unattended to. Stop telling us what the game will be like in 10 years and start discussing important near term changes.

Furthermore the maps look great, however they are not functional at the moment. One example is on manu's peak behind the twin peak that is closes to the small bowl there is a small rock... this small rock blocks everything from passing in a 10 meter radius. The terrain is full of magnets that cause you to stick to them not being able to move, and it feels like your constantly wobbling around due to slight terrain changes.

Lastly why does it sound like i broke every bone in my leg when i take slight falling damage.

THIS. When dramatic changes are being made CCP needs to be upfront with WHY those changes are being implemented. Throw numbers and statistics at us. Give us graphs and spreadsheets. It may be a lot of work, but I'm confident that the community's ability to work through this issues will make the investment worth your while, CCP.

Completely agree this build has had some radical changes and quite honestly has become far more complex and will be even harder to retain new players especially when they buy a raven suit they will have to get medium suits to proto level to use something they paid real money for.

I really hope CCP sees all the qq threads and realizes much better communication could have prevented it. My corp has slowly shrunk in size the last few months and I had hopes this build would bring them back. I am not sure the expectations will match what they get due to poor CCP communication.

yeah, saw the viziam go from god mode to "lol, you trying to kill my with that? NOPE"

lol was funny

but +1 to CCP for the change

This build is a mixed bag for me. Some of the changes are pretty sweet, like new dropsuits that are actually differentiated, cleaner visuals, and the simplified skill tree. On the other hand, some things are just down right ******, like MD nerf, vehicles skills getting fubar'd, HMG getting double-nerfed for no obvious reason, and the new skill-tree beign a huge SP sink to the point where I am not even half of what I was last build with 10.5mil SP for my logi. (Also not fond of making logis banana yellow of "Shoot me first!" because that is dumb).

Honestly with this massive of an overhaul we should have been given much more concrete details on stuff to pour over and look at, because I am sure that as FotM as shown, some things are definitely more powerful than others, and some things really are UP.

In terms of what I think needs to be fixed first:
1) range buff to all weapons since SS is gone
2) better weapon balancing so it isn't AR514

It seems clear to me that many community members, including CPMs who were at FanFest and got to poke around in the new build, are unhappy with how portions of this update have turned out, and like many others have said, CCP you could have avoided this headache with some better transparency so close to release. If this build ***** hard enough, you might even want to consider another respecc since this skill tree is so SP intensive and much more unforgiving than the last iteration.

Edit: Also, CCP you said you were leaving Militia BPOs. MAG tribute suits are not militia. I now have a worthless 20k Aurum sink in my inventory because I didn't want to spec into that racial dropsuit. Not cool.

All you had to do was:
Update graphics/UI
Remove sharpshooter - would have fixed the HMG without further touching its range/dmg
Fix iron sights
Not mess with nanite injectors/calling for help.

Instead, it appears you dev'd with a wrecking ball instead of a surgeon's scalpel.

Whoever decided this mess is launch ready should be fired.

This is CCP's AAA shooter? A dumbed down sc-fi version of CoD? CoD is AA at best, mind you.

Guns shoot more than 50 meters. I don't care if you say shooting someone at 200+ meters is overpowered. We need realistic guns and not pieces of crap that shoot shorter than I can throw a football. Last I checked most real life ARs get passed 300 meter ranges. CCP was so proud of their 5 km maps and we can't shoot past 50 meters. This makes no sense and is an affront to the Dust 514 playerbase. This was supposed to be New Eden and not a place where we pander to the *****ing pubbies who lacked the New Eden hardened fortitude to continue to skill up sharpshooter on their own.

Way to pander to a minority where the majority gets screwed. Is that how we do it in New Eden now?

Let's not forget that a AAA shooter is realistic while being new and revolutionary. Two thumbs down for Uprising.

the main reason everyone is upset i bet.

i can throw grenades farther than my HMG can reach, that's just sad

Pretty sure this thread is longer then the HMG can shoot. Just sayin'.

lol, did your main get banned again

LMAO

Yup. :D 1 month this time ;)
