Thanks Mint, we appreciate you doing what you can.

I, too, think CCP and their dust project has a lot of promise. I've played a lot, contributed money, etc.

But let's not split hairs, nor sugar coat a few obvious issues that have arisen since the uprising release. It's become kind of glaring that the devs of dust have some very bizarre priorities, and they lack attention to detail. It seems like problems that would arise from a group of developers all doing their own thing and combining their work in a big mash up resulting in an unharmonious product.

I guess they will eventually arrive at their destination as to where they want this product to be. I have no doubt about that, really. They have a lot of time, and can ultimately do really good damage control once they have a good product. But there have been so many missteps recently, and let's be blunt. Uprising added a little bit of cosmetic changes and very small content updates. However, it added nothing to the foundation, which is as of yet, still quite broken.


They don't need yes man cheer leading right now. They need blunt honest assessments that are productive, intelligent, and nudging. We can pat their backs AFTER they accomplish something, not before. We are all adults here. You aren't guaranteed success. I think they've had enough wake up calls to hopefully realize they are apparently struggling, and need to make some proactive changes that will get them back on their feet.

I mean, does anyone think they are in control right now? It seems like a firefighting fest, and we are all trapped in their burning building. We need a refreshing water hose of bug fixes and content all over us with force. 8 months from now is not going to cut it.

Its all good, broman. Most lurkers like myself understand these things take time. Just let me keep my afk abilities so i can close the sp gap and we'll call it squarsies

Make the game experience enjoyable and people won't feel the need to AFK. It feels like they want to make SP 100% passive but they don't want to implement it yet because they still need server turn out to justify to investors that everything is fine.

Who said anything about wanting max SP? If they don't fix my weapon, I'm not going to fight. Take an AR, ADS while you're shooting a red dot and imagine that even though you're shooting directly at your target, your shots wind up pulling to the left or if they would hit their mark, they go directly through your target. Now imagine that the devs tell you they have a fix but you have to wait until the next major update and you're SOL until then. Welcome to my world. I would just stop playing altogether but I still need to farm SP for an AR since its the only serviceable weapon in the goddamned game.

Well they had the gall to charge money for a beta (merc pack, wink wink) and promise an awesome game. Far from coding 24/7 their whole office took off for half a week for a ! Kite - chasing festival in Shanghai - now that's true commitment to work, true work ethics.

WTB Threads in 'Feedback & Requests' started by Developers relevant to the topic about larger upcoming changes. You know, like we have on EVE-O with most of the stuff Team Five-Oh does (Fozzie/Rise/Ytterbium w/ ship balancing).

The CPM isn't the most adequate sounding board for everything; they're great for things you can't talk to the rest of us about, because we might riot over it. But at the same time, the CPM shouldn't be the only sounding board, there are just not enough of them, and their "closeness" to CCP (don't get me wrong, that's a good and necessary thing for discussing NDA material) can lead to certain things being overlooked.

For things we know are in the pipe, such as those you just mentioned, please please please ask the relevant devs to take a little time out of their busy days to keep us posted about the specific changes they're making.

Most of us don't like being in the dark.
