One could argue that the sooner you realize that CCP as a development studio has a unique way of doing things that you need to come to terms with.
Furthermore, having knee-jerk emotional reactions to gaming balance without looking at data is a quicker route to failure than making informed, educated decisions. |

You've got a little bit of brown CoD/BF on your nose.

CCP development style suits PC gamers. Pretty sure I said looking @ data while ignoring feedback... so yeah, just looking at data for a FPS has not been working out well has it?
It's working fine. Your timelines for perfection is unrealistic.
CCP's development style suits gamers that want something more than just the run of the mill clones in their genre.
They revolutionized the space sim game and have laid the groundwork to do something great in the fps space. There is no doubt it will take time. |

I am curious to what they want. The devs listen and then implement fixes and I am very confused what he wants the game to be like because I thought DUST is what it is and not something game. We are different than eve in lots of different ways, I just don't get it I guess. Simple really... is only one "recipe" you can follow to make a FPS... the fact that everyone follows the same recipe, doesn't means that you "Copying" other people... You just using the working "Formula", that has been effective for DECADES of gaming.
You wonder why people tell you to 'go play cod' when you're advocating that games have to follow the 'cod' formula to be a 'working formula'
If you want cod, go play cod, i saw an advertisement for a new one. Meanwhile, I'll be here hoping for a revolutionary gaming experience that redefines the formula. *fingers crossed* |

There is no doubt it will take time. right... so taking them months to fix aiming falls perfectly into their timing I guess. Also gun balancing issues...nah, CCP has their data for that...which btw, they've messed up a couple times while applying numbers. I've always been cynical about how CCP handles their game for the console crowd. So you can be as optimistic as you want, while I stay as cynical as I want. I'll give them props, but I'll point out flaws. Some people just all out CCP fanboys... *cough*eveplayers*cough* which is doing nothing to help DUST.
Yes, it falls in their timeline.
Yes gun balancing issues will be a constant progression. There will always be something that's the 'best'. It takes time to flesh these out and react appropriately. I suspect the delay is more political then technical.
You are very cynical. Yes.
Please point out the flaws you see, no one is stopping you, in fact I encourage it. I respect your opinion, I would hope that you may come around to respecting others opinions for the direction of the game but that'll take time. Don't worry, I care about your salvation. I'll work hard to have the necessary patience to rear you in the proper direction. /hug

All FPS games have similarities with each other... do you ever wonder why ?
You mean having first person perspective and shooting. Hmm, are you trying to argue a point that you know is wrong just to save face?
I think we can both agree that if you have any understanding of the genre as you purport CoD is the single most successful franchise. One could only assume that's what you meant. Otherwise your similarities are just what the acronym for the genre dictate. :-/

We were in beta linger than most games live and release may not be the game we wanted but it is the game we have. Starting off a new thread calling eve players stupid isn't the best way to make friends or engage in conversations that are supposed to be constructive. You asking CCP to do the impossible .... and you don't want to be call stupid ?

They revolutionized the space sim game and have laid the groundwork to do something great in the fps space. There is no doubt it will take time. Judging from your likes, you have either just joined this game or dont post on the forums like myself. Lance and I have been playing Dust since the very first closed beta build, so we know how CCP develops their game over time, however as he said it is suited for PC gamers. I was optimistic once, like yourself, all the promises of a deeper FPS, all the stories and awesome mind boggling devblogs. But over time, I realised these weren't coming any time soon, its just how CCP develops their game, you know. I've been waiting for this game to become something else, but at this pace, it really won't any time soon, more like soonTM soon. Groundwork is all they have, it isn't an MMO at its core, it is an FPS, so something needs to change. They no longer have the closed beta shield to hide behind, patches to problems like aiming and Tac AR damage need to be dished out faster than they currently are.
While I'm not sure what the first portion of your post has to do with the subject at hand, I'll dismiss this and read into your post.
I agree, the game will take time, I can see how you would grow impatient. Nothing wrong with that. If it's going to take too long for you, that's fine....understandable even. Some here have more patience, and a realization of the timeline it took for CCP's other games to come to maturity. Dust is light years ahead of EVE with relation to the time it's been in the market. I'm ok playing while I enjoy it and checking back in if i get burnt out.
EVE and Dust have a feature that create the 'want' to come back for most gamers. The passive SP is the hook. It will keep the games population growing even as people leave, they'll return for something new down the road and they may stay or not. All it takes is CCP to release something new down the road and the cycle starts again.
I am fine with your opinions on timing, I may be a more patient gamer with a more optimistic view...you may not.. Nothing wrong with this, however, as is customary in these types of impasses....can i has your stuffs? |

QQ over losing your faction fit Cap because you jumped into OMS uninvited? Yeah HTFU. Point out that an unfinished mechanic is unfinished and exploitable? That simply needs addressed and phrases/attitudes applied to matters internal to the sandbox aren't really appropriate.

might be too much logic to process, so feel free to continue telling me about tears and "HTFU" some more Perfect amount of logic but contains blaring inaccuracies. Holding corps are mechanics to manage your assets/resources/corps. They solve the problem of PC security and awoxing. To me, it feels like, the whining is stemming from the fact there are a few corps that don't want to go through the trouble of transferring members or ownership of districts. Stop being lazy and asking to be spoonfed security when the mechanics to secure your corp already exist. how is creating another corp a "tool"? lol +1 for stupidity. GG I'm out

It's now 2013 the release version of the game which is one year late runs like a beta. How much longer do they need to fix frame rate issues, FPS gameplay mechanics? The FPS side of Dust should've been done first then the rpg elements could have been built around it. Dust is looking like a nice house built on a **** poor foundation.
7 more years.

There are only successful games and unsuccessful games. Looking at DUST right now it's pretty obvious where it's going to stand on that spectrum in the next couple of months. And for a game with the mechanics such as DUST, if it doesn't take off after the first ~3 months it never will.
You'll need to define your definition of 'successful'.
The game can grow to 60k concurrent players with a million users and have a 10% p2p rate of 10/month or more and you've got a decent revenue stream.
The f2p model thrives on getting people to stick with their game. Having a passive progression mechanic is enticing to lots of former players to check back in.
Dust may never be as successful as the new cod game that comes out every 6 months in terms of box sales, or have as many concurrent players for those 6 months. But if done correctly and prudently it can still be a very lucrative and 'successful' title for CCP. |

Fact Hoping something good will come of Dust lackadaisical development wont get you anywhere especially if it's already had 3 years on the table. CCP needs to get up and fix it. Hope didn't make CCP fix the frame rate issues in this game. Fact Hope didn't get CCP to fix the vehicle imbalance. Fact Hope didn't get CCP to actually listen to us. Fact But if you some how have magic hope and can do these things then hope away...
You still haven't proven that 'hope can only go so far'
You've proven what hope hasn't done...but have nothing to do to disprove where it stops being effective.
Please. continue.

I can pretty much predict from the patch notes if a nerf will be too much without stats, because its CCP and I have grown to know the,. I haven't grown impatient, just tired. CCP promised a lot in the year of 2013, but I know most of it won't come. If you have been playing the beta, you will know that CCP likes to take their time on gamebreaking problems, overnerfing them while at the same time completely breaking something at the same time I don't know how long you have played the closed/open beta for, but if you have played as long as I have, you know not to expect too much. I haven't grown impatient, I just laugh at how optimistic people are sometimes.

BF titles usually last for 2 years because that's simply how DICE does it. It's about making money.
And believe it or not I believe Dust is a cash grab anyway for EVE. Notice how once Dust went into beta EVE went over 500,000 subs. There are people I know playing EVE that would've never batted an eye at it until Dust.
They're creating synergistic titles to increase cross game interest, sales, and growth. This is good for their business.
I think you're coming around but you haven't realized it yet. |

Doesn't need to take off to grow in this scenario. Nothing about dust needs to take off to be successful. It can scale. |
