Walk down to marketing, and smack them upside the head. "Information control" is killing the game, not building suspense. If any department should get the brunt of the hate, it's them.

So in other words I should put in my application to work for CCP as a designer because lets face it, an 10 year old can design a better FPS game than this garbage.

BTW just in case you have not heard PC is Fu*ked up, how about starting from scratch and design something better.

Am I right? Or am I right? lol

It's not on the roadmap. Not being bitter, just stating what I know. If they are it's so hidden the people working on it are not the people who made the game we have so far.

above is the most interesting bit of info in this thread - and possibly that i have read on the forum in a long time. Noc, is this from IRC?

Are you a ten year old, Mr Stubbyducky? Is that your stated qualification for your verbal application to be a part of ccp's team? The fact that you act 10 and spew unconstructive crap at a gaming development staff on the Internet may or may not get you the position you are seeking.

You certainly don't have to take my advice regarding job seeking strategies but here it is (& not just for you but for all of us that continue to lose our patience and post mean unconstructive stuff to a team who are trying very hard to build something successful):

Relax.

Rome wasn't built in a day. Yes, dust has been in development for years. It takes years to build things like this.

If you are certain you can do it better, go do it

If you are sure this game sucks and is going no where, why are you still here?

If the answer is the potential, then try to post constructively. Make a positive impact. Not a negative one.

Believe me, I know the frustration. Been here a long while myself. Felt the pain from lack of info and clarity on ccp's part. But I want to be a voice of patience and reason amidst the rising din.

Change is not just coming soon...it has been happening all along.

Harden Up. Stand fast. Advise CCP of your feedback in a reasonable, informative and positive tone. Stop being mean....doesn't work.

Hi Animal,

From adding content to responding to tears in the forums, you must admit that CCP is both responsive and productive when compared to other game studios.

Absolutely, the plan is to internally have a much better system so we can get the proper information out and communicated to you. That's what we are working on atm here in Dust Community :)

Rebuilding the bridge! Hopefully you like it! Maybe you're gonna rather we stop telling you things again. I kid, I kid.

As for generating actual fixes - that is also going as fast as possible. We may or may not be trapping our devs at their computers to work their magic. :P

So you can continue to ***** like a two year old if they don't get through everything they posted?
GTFO.

We all want a better Dust, but that doesn't give you the right to act like an entitled toddler who misses sucking on his mom's teet. Grow up, and act like an adult.

They are working on it. It means more to them than to you.

Relax guys. Either play or don't play.
I play and take breaks and I'm constantly thinking about this game and how I can improve my tactics as a scout/sniper;

How are you not banned?!

As for lip-service,

UPDATE:
We intend to give updates...

We've never heard that before...

More terrible blue posts.

Thanks Mint, we appreciate you doing what you can.

I play and take breaks and I'm constantly thinking about this game and how I can improve my tactics as a scout/sniper; I also throw in some requests that would enhance the game just a tad.

It's a slow process.
Here's a question: How can the game be more fun?

This is what you choose to respond to? I've stated a very simple and straight forward, yet very important request. You are the reason why we cannot have constructive criticism, you just yell for the sake of yelling with no meaning or purpose.

It is incredibly important that we as a community know exactly what CCP is working on and planning to change in the game. CCP has wasted far too much time fixing things that aren't broken and consequently breaking more things by implementing "hotfixes". For example when CCP tells us they are implementing a hotfix to give LAVs far more health it would've been very apparent to anyone who plays this game more than 10 hours a week that it would create Murder Taxi 514-which is what we have now.

Another example, when CCP first tried to implement Active Omega SP Boosters my first question was how would they interact with boosters that were already active- would they supersede them, replace them, buff them? CCP did not see this issue until release day, and hence had to cancel Active Omega Boosters- thus wasting time- time that could've been saved if they allowed the community to know about their plan, and time that could've been spent fixing much more important things, such as aiming, hit detection, and lag.

So, CCP the reason we need to know what your plans are is so that we can tell you about the collateral damage your hotfixes will cause before you waste time creating them. Furthermore, you waste even more time fixing those unforeseen consequences even though those consequences would be very obvious to the player base and would've been easily avoided if you had just been more straightforward.

We know you have 8 million ideas that you hope to implement in the future- and that's the problem, you are not focused on what you need to be focused on, you're not focused on the most important game-breaking issues. Let the player base know what you are working on in the next update- which will probably be too many things at once- and we will focus you in on the important features and let you know how to implement them most effectively.

Pretty much! We are working very hard to get you the fixes out. If we could fix it instantaneously we would! Letting you know that we are working on those things, and to look forward to hearing more about the changes and fixes in the upcoming days. :D

As for lip-service, hmm. I'm typing this :P

Pretty sure that's all I do... and my job is to actually design stuff. O_O

Just tell the truth and say your too busy monetizing the game and you have no time for insignificant things like gameplay

Oh look, another **** talking alt.
