Do you have any idea if weapon ranges will be displayed when comparing two weapons on you fit? It's a very important stat to omitted. I've seen guns with identical stats except the Meta Level and the price. My guess is the weapon's maximum and optimal ranges are the difference.

I'll be the first to start. You'll be happy to know that a full respec following an adjustment to the skill tree in order to reduce the overall SP requirement back in the direction of Chromosome-level train times was actually one of the primary "must-do" items on the CPM's agenda. Not only that, I think there is a strong possibility that we will see this, and see this within the month. No promises or dates here yet - but based on the positive reception from CCP I think this is quite likely at this point, enough to say so publicly.

Guys you have to understand all things takes time.

Majority of the roots for notes was culmination of nearly 2 weeks of work of the CPM reading and talking with you guys and your concerns and doing even some speadsheet-fu on your behalf. From finding out what the issues are, how important they are to you guys and then drafting them into something CCP can use to talk to their developers with. It would not surprise me if it takes the CCP community team the whole day talking with every team about ever issue and how those teams are going to see about fixing the concerns.

I can't believe I managed to stay up 27 hours for this meeting but I did.

We are pleased to announce that we have just concluded a lengthy meeting with a considerable portion of the Dust514 community and development teams, as well as upper management such as Executive Producer CCP Jian and Creative Director CCP Praetorian.

It was an opportunity not only to cover the the most urgent issues surrounding Uprising's deployment, but also to review the steps that CCP will be taking in the immediate future in order to fix some of the unexpected results that occured from Uprising's migration onto Tranquility. We also discussed many ways that CCP can ensure that you, the players and beta testers, receive more timely and comprehensive information about what exactly is being worked on (and why).

The contents of this meeting are being drafted up for release by CCP CommanderWang and CCP Frame, and will be posted shortly so that the public is in the loop with the CPM and CCP as to what took place. Rest assured this meeting was comprehensive GÇô while the nitty gritty details will be hammered out in the days ahead, everything from general dissatisfaction with item balancing, to input issues, to the frustrations we've all shared with the new skill tree were discussed extensively.

The CPM is satisfied with CCP's timely and focused effort to take care of these issues in the days and weeks ahead, and we expect this to play out here in the forums as well. The CPM was adamant that with increased level of information and clarity, unnecessary noise can be reduced to that the best of your ideas reach the people they need to reach inside the development circle. This is in fact our primary purpose for existing in the first place GÇô if we've done our jobs right, you'll be seeing more from CCP than you have in the past, and have more opportunities to give specific feedback in places you know you'll be heard, and see evidence of this as CCP continues to roll out fixes and updates to the game.

Not everything everyone would like to see will be ready by the 14th, lets be perfectly clear here GÇô but the reason that the CPM asked for this meeting to begin with was to ensure there was both resources and process were in place to take care of the things we've noticed as issues between our Fanfest playtest, and what we've seen since Uprising's initial deployment on Tranquility.

We appreciate everyone's patience while you await further news, but we feel it is important for you to know that the community's concerns are being heard at the highest levels thanks to your representatives on the CPM. We also strongly encourage you to continue to send us your repeatable bugs, balancing advice, and other suggestions for us to use in our talks with CCP in order to expedite the process of improvement.

If I may make a suggestion.

i think it would be helpful for the folks that spend more of their time in-game than on the Forums, that when significant information is being posted by CPM or CCP, in this case the details of the meeting, a notice using the in-game Notification system is sent out.

We actually made the same suggestion in the meeting, I pointed out specifically that since this is a console game and people aren't accessing the game through their PC's the way that EVE players do, its unreasonable to expect that any greater percentage of players are following along on the web as well while they play. Most don't even know that so much is discussed on the forums, by players OR devs for that matter. We mentioned a number of options, from email to a neocom button for news, to using the Merc quarters screen - and while I'm not sure how soon we'll see first fruits of this, we definitely made the case that forum threads and dev blogs aren't enough, players need to be able to read important announcements from within the game client. We need the ENTIRE community to have a chance to know what's going on and speak up, not just those of us insane enough to wade deep into the forums on a daily basis.

Or give them some more exclusive heavy weapons. - plasma flame thrower? I know there are many ideas, not to be discussed here, I'm just wanting to support my heavies.

just wondering if you guys talked about the framerate / performance issue

because the game runs really low framerate

Gatlin laser from fallout 3 please

Honestly, I wish the CPM would stop, and hold things exactly where they are, short of actual bug fixes, for at least two weeks after a build hits. Too much impulse reaction. Impulsive decisions get us things like the USA PATRIOT Act. A good legislature makes careful, slow changes.

Absolutely. This is definitely unintended - and CCP's working on investigating every possible underlying cause as we speak. Something happened between testing Uprising at FF, and playing Uprising on Tranquility, because we played the same build, on stock PS3's (no SSD or anything) at FF and had amazing framerates. I'm sure they'll announce their progress as they go, but CCP also seemed surprised to learn that it plays differently on Tranquility and are working on this problem specifically.

We wouldn't be good CPM if we didn't know the difference between new build impulse and legitimate concerns. Had Uprising done its job, the GD first few page would have been full of GG CCP majority not FUBAR response that is there now.

Its like knowing that Windows 8 was going to suck before it came out.

You have to admit though, that delving into the forums is an adventure in itself. I'm not heavily outspoken here on the forums even though I've been kicking around since Open Beta. I'll comment from time to time, but I prefer to watch, learn, adapt, and then take action. Sort of like an informant who simply gathers information and then sells it to the highest bidder.

However I do agree. We really do need something in-game to alert us to a new happening when it comes to DUST 514 and the game mechanics. Strangely though ... I'd probably hop off and swim back here just to see what people are saying about the news xD
