HMGs do more damage than before, 18 base with 10% on top of that, and get a buff to their firing cone and only really gets a range reduction

And they call that an over nerf, god some people

Also dont make excuses for the Devs breaking things, CCP has 10 years game dev experience and a year with this game so its not like they are new at this, add to that how other game developers can put out a product in the same amount of time that works as intended and it all wears thin

Inb4 fanboys whine and call me a troll, Im not trolling Im "metagaming"

Something I point out in my second post that I was writing in my reserved space as you were replying. You have to consider the sheer scope of the game before you start trying to compare it to other games.

Other games have a set idea, and roll with it until the end, they release a game within a year or so, and that's that. DUST 514 is more than "just a game" It's a game that is designed to be built upon and to constantly evolve. How many games (especially shooters) that are linked in real time to a game almost completely different and hell ... it's even cross-platform. We're talking a link between a PS3 console shooter linked with an online PC internet game. I am no programmer, I don't know jack about hardware, and I know even less about software and how it's coded and stuff ... but holy **** even I can see that something like this has never been attempted before, and the know-how, testing, and time needed to make this work is astronomical.

Not to sound angry or like a fanboy, but please consider the actual nature of this game and what it's trying to accomplish before you start comparing it to other games.

CCP does an amazing job(like most MMO and cloud service providers) of keeping its servers not only functional but running smoothly, now they have to work every thing through the PSN, Its hard enough to work with some one else's network guys to get what you need from them (this is a little more then peering networks here), but sony doesn't exactly have a stellar record when it comes to managing its PSN, so I can't imagine getting its techs to give you what you need is any thing but a special kind of hell. That said god damn it CCP why do you keep doing the stuff people complain about over and over and over again? another HMG nerf really(yes they brought it back but comon), the scouts are still slow but the assaults are now even faster, did I here that the RE timer is shorter now cause while I loved death Frisbees they were game breaking. it seems like ever build they break the same ** over and over, that is getting old.

That......or you play with Permanent Beer Goggles equipped :P spawn in is much better, skill tree is great for some things and the skill sheet is still there for every thing else, the UI in general is improved greatly. The graphics update.....well yes its an improvement I guess higher res and better textures..... still missing some polish tho It just feels off, not to mention the smaller maps to allow all of this to happen, lag issues still make the game a chore to play, god damn it ccp fix the god damn weapons swap im never sure if it didn't swap or if it is taking its damn time or if it bugged, the number of times I have died or didn't get a kill because of that stupid ** is reaching the triple digits, it takes 1-2seconds to swap weapons WHY THE ** IS THAT LAGGING!?

fred orpaul The Tritan Industries RISE of LEGION 279	Posted - 2013.05.14 01:45:00 - [5] - Quote some one mentioned this feeling like it was based off of a previous build, you might be right and that would explain a lot. It could be they have two teams each has its own build and the team that releases then patches while the other team works on their build to update it and make it the new release so on so forth. I'm probably WAY off base but I wouldn't be surprised if its something like this.
