Dust 514 Community Rep 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 TBH, AFK going away NEEDS to be one of the first bugfixes that is released. I'm not saying that it is the most important thing to do, though IMHO, it is a package deal. If CCP is really real on fixing the foundations, they NEED to make AFK go away. I really get the impression that the "AFK==A-OK" is just CCP's concession because they know the game is broken. If they're planning on making real strides toward the game being not broken, they NEED to FORCE the players to actually PLAY THE GAME if they want the Active SP. Otherwise, they are just saying "broken game is broken, feel free to not play our broken POS game" Also, I voted for Kang.
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. |

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. I stand by my opinion. If people are really in this for "the long haul" they'll accept the AFK=/=A-OK part of the initial bugfixes. Anyone that won't, wouldn't stick around after the next annual BF/CoD reskin anyway. Give us some credit, give us real fixes and we'll play the game. Just make AFK go away or give us the tools to make it go away ourselves. Anything less is just acknowledging that people don't want to play Dust. Not only that, it is also aggravating/driving away people who would be willing to deal if they weren't getting faceraped cause they were outnumbered 2:1.
I used to think like you but after I found out my weapon was bugged with no chance for a fix until the next major update. I asked myself "Why waste my time if they're waiting for 3 months to fix a broken gun... in a FPS?" Now I guard the MCC and do Bonsai on the side. |

If you used to think like me, then find your integrity again and play for the other aspects you'll be pursuing. If not that, save yourself on electric bills and turn off your PS3 when you AFK. Once things are fixed for real, we'll be getting enough numbers that you won't need to worry about not being one of the "max SP 1337"
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. |

Other people AFK for other reasons and it's getting to the point that they're the ones playing Dust 514 the right way, especially after I got news why my gun doesn't work. If CCP isn't gong to fix it, let alone fix what's wrong with the game altogether, then do something productive while collecting some SP/ISK. Besides, Skirmish isn't the only game mode available... |

ahem...
This game has major issues. We can talk about it. relax. no one is going to take your game away from you.
And Sony isn't the problem. That's just inventing excuses. Who are you even talking to? If that sony remark is a response to my post. Did you understand what i just wrote? Do you have justification for saying it's just an "excuse"?
Sony shouldn't even be brought into the argument since they recently gave Dust 514 the finger with PS2 coming to PS4... |

Doesn't the fact that info on the MD was posted in a TAC AR topic kind of bother you? |

We both have agreed on more than one occasion that communication both ingame and out of the game is painfully lacking and i believe that most of what happens on the forums lately is a direct result of that.
You think they would learn their lesson after the EVE forums used to be like this due to, what else? lack of communication... |

I'm not familiar with DCUO and therefore completely oblivious to their updating schedule but i can just assume that they pack their client updates in batches just as CCP does or suck up the increased cost for more granular updates. Edit: Based on this wiki their updates are similarly spaced to dust (1.1 was the last 1.2 will be the next). This assumes that i'm looking at the right game/wiki, of course.
DCUO is still riddled with bugs and glitches from launch and at times can be unplayable. The pop in is actually worse than Dust 514 and Borderlands put together.
Novawolf McDustingham The514th wrote:DCUO murdered their PvP by watering the combat down and creating a never ending stream of FOTM weapons and powers... Kind of like another free2play game I know...
Don't forget that they also had a working matchmaking system but Villains QQed about it because they couldn't stomp Heroes anymore and pad their stats. Also, DCUO isn't F2P, it's "Freemium." You can do PVE to your hearts content from level 1-30, but once you get to a certain point, you have to pay for the regular expansions for the right to grind endgame. |

Dust 514 Community Rep yet again HOW DA **** ARE U A COMMUNITY REP YOU DONT EVEN PLAY DUST
This is actually a good move. We need someone to run puplic relations and translate the devs' nerd speak to our nerd speak and vise-versa. |
