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"?

This is a very good point, however CCP would do well to inform us all of when these things are happening.

Something like an announcement stating when (semi-specifically) they intend to submit the update to Sony QC for approval, and the patch notes.

Communication is KING!

Eliminate the cloak and dagger routine.

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

Of course it does. 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...

Um, I'm talking to you. I guess you figured it out and blew a gasket? lolz.

I did understand what you just wrote. But I seriously doubt you do.

Sony is not responsible for the development problems with dust. To say it is, is to make an excuse on CCPs part.

My justification is that mostly, that's all conjecture, at best, on your part. You do not know that as fact. In addition, many developers in the world have worked with sony, for better or good, to release their games, DLC, patches, and what have you for years. They have an established protocol to release such things. Sony outlined it mostly unchanged quite awhile ago. Apple and microsoft do the same checks that sony does. It is all very predictable, and has no bearing whatsoever on development itself.


Got it?

Good. so it's an excuse you made up. now run along.

What happened to QC with DC Universe Online?

I never said SONY would be responsible for the development problems with dust. I adressed a very specific issue and you choose to argue against something else, so i just go ahead and provide something beyond conjecture.

This shows that sony doesn't even have to delay the actual development to delay a release. Quality Assurance (yeah is said QC, that's wrong) obviously takes time and and people and unless you assume that sony has unlimited human resources that don't need to be paid you can hazard the guess that CCP pays for this process every time they submit an update.

If AFK goes away you can be sure of one thing, player numbers will fall off. I played ten matches earlier. Of those ten matches I played almost every single match on the same map. Only a few of those times the buildings/turrets were rearranged.

Given the dearth of any meaningful fixes and the trickle of content, it says volumes about their fan base, that we see enough potential in the future to grind now.

I understand you hate AFKing at this moment. But! I assure you, the dichotomy of this game's stagnation versus promise will have you AFKing before long. And if not, all the power to you. But you have to understand you just haven't gotten to where a lot of the old timer player base has. At least we haven't abandoned ship :)

Yea. So you are making up scenarios you don't know much about. FACT.

This game has been in development for years. FACT.

They had a long time between chromosome and uprising. FACT.

Sony didn't delay a gaddamn thing for CCP. FACT.

run along.

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 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...

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.

This is the most current devpost i can find on this issue and it mentions the need for clientside changes. To be fair though, it does not explain why client side changes have to wait for the larger patch so it's understandable that those stuck with a broken gun are not charmed. That's why i tried to give a little explanation on why this cannot (feasibly) be hotfixed as the available info is not sufficient without this bit of knowledge.

Yes I agree and sympathize with those players as well because I can relate. I cannot use the dropsuit I wish to use, though not because it is bugged -- it simply hasn't been added to the game.

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

You don't have any more insight into the issues than that guy. Fact.

Player numbers will not drop due to removal of afk. To be a player, you must play. Afkers are, therefore, not players, but merely parasites on the players. Good riddance.

Wow you won, just stop mutilating the term "fact" as if it makes everything magically true or relevant to the topic at hand.

TL; DR of this thread.

*rage* I feel entitled to know what CCP is doing all the time constantly and they must reach everyone of my demands by tomorrow rabble rabble rabble *rage*
