I hate to post this again, but since this seems to be the official thread I'm just wondering if anyone at CCP or the CPM can tell me whether these findings of mine for the DS3 are anywhere close to being right?

Hi

The rotation speed limitations that are applied to the different dropsuit classes do present issues for tuning control with the mouse and ensuring DS3 players donGÇÖt find themselves at a very significant disadvantage. The maximum settings for pitch and yaw are one of the areas we are currently looking at making further changes to. We are continuing to work with and test different settings for both DS3 and mouse and we will make further updates once we have tested them.

The feedback we have received has been very useful but also very varied, in some cases conflicting and in others confusing. We have been unable to replicate some of the issues (such as Move settings having an impact on the mouse which just shouldnGÇÖt be possible). Because of this we are also investigating the possibility that changes/problems outside of the control system itself are effecting the experience. More on that if we find anything.

WITH YOUR MIND!

Reverting the controls is not a good idea. They were serviceable in Chromosome, but nothing more than that. They need to move forward and just fix the system now once and for all.

That's it, I quit.

Dust is dead, good bye.


1. Different suits gives you different speed limit - this is NOT what an fps should behave. This has became a first person MMORPG. With this "mechanism" in place, the game will never be skill based, and the control will NEVER be fixed because of how speed limits works. With speed limits on, you cannot even twitch shoot enemies even within a small angle. Your reaction time is not a useful skill anymore.

Dust is now confirmed to be an RPG and not a shooter. The "first person shooter" experience I am looking for is DEAD.


2. So you basically confirmed the CCP logic "mouse is too good for FPS (duh) so we nerfed it! :D ".

Since I am a mouse user, I can not put up with non-sense like this.

Seriously can nobody see how stupid it sounds?


Good bye Dust, it was good while it lasted.

Speed cap is a necessity for the control schemes to be at least moderately balanced.

For Dust to be a long-haul game that grows and people continue to play the core gameplay must be fun, unlocking XYZ wont keep people very long if the actual game itself isn't enjoyable.

Right now, due almost entirely to changing something that worked fine before, it simply isn't fun. I'm playing it, because I want my skill points and to learn the new skills/gear so when you fix it I wont have lost out, but if it doesn't get fixed I and I'm sure a lot of others will drift away.


I cant really tell you whats wrong. but I can give you these observations I've made

-The hot fix helped a bit, it went from throwing the PS3 out a window frustrating to what it is now- gritted teeth until the SP cap is reached annoying.

-before uprising it felt like I was connected to the game, it was fun. Now it feels like I'm connected to a lever, that connects to a chicken, who has his own joystick, which is connected to a PS3. I have no idea what the little fella is doing, but I know I want to throttle him.

-The sensitivity normally is very high and jerky, the sensitivity when I aim down sights is slow and sluggish. Aiming down sights I go from a 16 year old after 15 cans of redbull and speed to a 65 year old guy with a prosthetic arm.



I cannot stress enough how important the basic act of shooting someone is, if it feels good and fun (like it did) dust will be fine. If it stays how it is now.. anything else you do, no matter how good, will only give people a reason to grit their teeth and try and ignore the control system for another week to try it out, then they'll leave.
