Weapon range system improvements
New dropsuit roles - Pilot (vehicle bonus) & Commando ("dual heavy wielding medium suit", not sure what is meant by this)

Feel free to comment / hate / love / show indifference.

He misspoke on the Commando. It's supposed to be a Dual light weapon wielding Heavy.

You left out the new "Welcome" screen which will give you more context for what happened while logged off. Oh, No, you do have it. Sorry.

Tons of Dropships are useless threads and then a anti-air HAV, Yes CCP does indeed listens to feedback.

"dual heavy weapon weilding medium", not sure what is meant by this, 18:18)

New vehicle roles ("Destroyers" were given as one example- anti-air HAV with faster tracking / RoF)
It's not the only new role coming.

Why does CCP want to market their product as a game full of bugs? Anyway hopefully they will soon adress these issues instead of ignoring it.

anti air HAVs. What do we need these for? dropships r easy to kill with rails. Lol

You missed my point.

Dropships don't need more things killing them, but keep in mind other aircrafts will come and might justify the addition of the destroyer HAVs.

CCP hates dropships, it's nothing new. I've been playing for months and I can't recall I single improvement to making dropships useful, only things that make them worse.

Problem with basing matchmaking on gear is that people don't pub with all their proto gear on unless they are total try-hards.

This means that veterans deploying in their cheap gear will face off against full militias. Besides, how can it be based on gear when we are able to change loadouts at supply depos or mid-spawn?

Has to be based on lifetime WP or SP.

No PVE in the horizon , he did not say new maps, only variations of what we have today, later we Get new maps with new buildings.

More grinding ...

**** YEAH COMMANDO SUIT
I WANT IT BAD

picture a heavy with an assault scram and that minmatar projectile rifle. burst down shields then switch to burst down armor. HELL YES

Ill raise you Scrambler + MD.

Charged shot followed by launching nades. Exposed for all of .5 seocnds while firing the charged shot, murder-city.

Good luck landing some damage with that MD.

Scrambler plus flaylock would be more reliable.

Once the player count increase (32v32 or even larger) + larger maps. DS will most likely be 1 of the most important vehicles to have :).

For the record, the flaylock has most of the same issues as does the MD. There is a general problem with splash damage at the moment, and all splash damage seems to be affected.

Reason why they are going to be added the anti-air tank is that dropships are getting a new variant known as the bomber which probably unlike current dropships and will be actually literally dropping bombs on ground targets.

Fought Lordchaos last night.

He doesn't seem to have a problem using the flaylock....he just hits you with every shot and does not seem to care about splash damage.

There are high skill (real skill not SP) high pay off weapons in this game.

Let them stay high skill high pay off.

Thats cool n' all.....

But any word on when Logi DSes will get their WP?

you could say that my name will mean death for you ( CAUSE ILL MAKE THE BOMBS RAIN)

My militia Gorgon will kill you just the same

Also....how the **** is this going to work....this sounds literally like the least skilled way of playing...ever.....

I love how CCP makes a troop transport vehicle, and then literally does gymnastics to avoid making it good or useful at transporting troops.....

Matchmaking by suits seems silly to me, does this read what your default suit is, what your highest suit skill level is? So from now on if you want to have an advantage in pubs make a militia suit your default and switch to your proto when match begins, or put most of your SP into things before drop suits.Matchmaking based on SP would be the best and simplest measure to use would it not?

Or more airial Vehicles on the way?

I know it's hard to comprehend, but maybe CCP thought of this. Perhaps, what they mean by "gear is a factor" that they take the average meta value or isk value of the suits you've used in the recent past to help with matchmaking. That way, a quick switcheroo, won't make much difference.

Repeat after me, "Dropships are gunships and bombers."

Has to be based on lifetime WP or SP.

So what you're saying is the matchmaking is going to be psychic and know what suits you are going to deploy in after it puts you in said match? That's what it seems like you're saying and quite frankly it's ridiculous; if anything it'll be based on what gear you have in your assets. Still even that's ridiculous because I have a bunch of proto & officer gear I can't use & will never use and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

So I agree (for what it's worth) that it should be based on lifetime WP or SP.

See?

Dropships are NOT for transport are they?

Dropships are ONLY rewarded for killing!

So stop with your silly notions that dropships are taxis.

Repeat after me, "Dropships are gunships and bombers."

Well, they're doing contortions to avoid adding new air vehicles. Just rehashing the same skin in different unintended roles to satiate the few pilots still around.

I mean, on one hand it's better than nothing, but on the other I can see this leading to some balance issues down the road.

Can't believe nobody's mentioned "Craters" in this thread yet (22:20 in the vid). There's gonna be a new terrain map to play on.

"We're adding in a new terrain with multiple battlegrounds"

I would like to overly caution against the crystal ball usage though. While this may be a clearer image it may or may not contain everything for 1.2.

Is this a 1.2 addition? I realize variants are easier... I'd still like to see Amarr and Minmatar vehicles though.

Any bets the AA-HAV gets turned into a dropsuit-mower like the AA tanks in BF3?

Same first thought here. Followed by, "so this is the LAV Menace solution, Flak Cannons." If anything it will make things more interesting while racing around.

I'd like to thank CCP for continually screwing dropship pilots in their quest to balance HAVs and LAVs.

All you guys freaking out about these things need to relax. The OP by no means has posted a full list of changes. All you guys are crying about the AV tanks and yet have no idea what fixes or changes they are making to dropships.

Relax, wait it out a little bit, then unleash your flood of QQ after the patch. There's no reason to be crying about something that you don't even know about.

CCP LISTENED!?
https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=80972

I am thinking more like MAG's happy hour, double XP for the first hour you play a day.

aka CCP is so slow they can't even get this little list in

So basically similar to how it was in early beta, where your rewards were highest at the start of the week and continually diminished the more you played.

Not sure what to think of that.

Iunno what the "daily bonus" is, but I'm really hoping it isn't free stuff every day.

Not like we need more ISK :v

If it's something like double SP for your first match or three, I'd be quite happy. Cuts down on the grind.

If it's something like "CONGRATULATIONS! TODAY YOU WON 5x MILITIA ARMOR REPAIRERS!" I'm gonna be like... what the devil? Free daily loot + hardened mercenaries = does not compute

Also, here's one naive hope that new Heavy suits will somehow surprise us all by showing up. Pwease CCP?

As far as SP goes, nothing will top a rolling SP cap.

I hope to Jove that there is a new vehicle. If not it would just prove that CCP tosses feedback right out the window.

Bombers, at least, have been confirmed. Whether or not this is an entirely new frame or another dropship role has yet to be seen.

My understanding is it is another dropship clone. I cant link to any dev post stating this though so take it with a grain of salt.

Whoa guys, I hate to be a downer here but not all of these things are coming in early July. All of this stuff is on the roadmap and is being worked on pretty heavily, but early July will have a certain number of these and not all of them, unfortunately. We're aiming on getting the majority of these out over the coming several months, along with some other items that weren't brought up in the video, but the July update will not contain all of this.

We'll have a dev blog that'll serve as an overview of the July update features which is currently be written that will summarize what will be in Uprising 1.2. You can also watch the linked video as what's coming in 1.2 and what's coming after was discussed a little more specifically.

The problem with releasing a list is that people would flood it with "BUT WHAT ABOUT (Insert QQ), GOSH CCP NEVER LISTENS TO THEIR PLAYERS!" And they're trying to avoid that. They have a lot on their plate and a list of priorities; the reason they don't release their list is because there would be outcry about what should come first. They have people in charge that read feedback and decide what needs work. They're human and require time to produce these changes, while the general FPS populace is all about "NOW NOW NOW!" and has very very little knowledge about the quirks of developing a game.

I'm in it for the long haul. If that's not good enough for you, move on. I for one won't be shedding any tears.

So when did you get into the closed beta?

Too many people today want everything now and don't want to invest in the future.

I like the investment and watching it grow before me. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned.

LOL ... The day it came out of beta

I'm still experiencing the game, but I do see a lot of potential and the will in CCP to get it there. I've played my fair share of games and am rather tired of seeing a game release then 3-5 updates/add-ons and promptly wither in the face of it's sequal. Let's face it: EVE is here to stay. Why not be a part of the next evolution of New Eden's universe?

Somebody give this guy a gold star for both not releasing any actual information AND making a promise of a new dev blog.

I appreciate the attempt to stop the hype train, but maybe, just maybe, you guys could put out more information ahead of time to prevent these types of things happening. The presentation from E3 was not terribly clear on what is or is not coming in 1.2, and all it would take is roughly the same amount of time you put into the post you wrote to put together a simple bullet point list of what you guys have ready for 1.2

Instead of promising to give us more info, just give us more info. It shouldn't be that difficult to explain to you guys that this is how the community wants you to work.

The fact that as a company you consistently misread us wanting more info for us wanting more teasers is either a massive troll, or a sign of the complete inability of your team to get their stuff together.

Every time one of these posts gets made, I lose a little more hope that this game will ever be anything other than a could have been type of game.

Ahhh, the bright eyes of the young.

You do realize that some closed beta vets have been around for over a year now right? Even the open beta guys have been around for 4+ months. Not exactly sure what you classify as the 'long haul' so give us an update on your feelings in a couple months of dealing with the over-promise-under-deliver

Maybe I just low (I like to think of it as realistic) expectations. Trying to take into account that a "simple fix" is never simple. I work in the military and am familiar with how long it takes to get a working product out from the idea phase to reality. Your not just talking about putting a few more lincoln logs together to make a hut into a house. The process is way more involved than most of these kids even imagine. I would like to see all these "good idea fairies" and deadline complainers make a similar product and then try to tell CCP how to do their job. It just makes me laugh at the unrealistic nature of most of these complaints without any real idea of what they are really talking about or asking for.

And by the long I mean my gaming days aren't going anywhere in the next 50 years.

Roadmap? Where?

So an anti air HAV? That means fighters can't be too far off, or they are coming soon!

Problem with basing matchmaking on gear is that people don't pub with all their proto gear on unless they are total try-hards.

Has to be based on lifetime WP or SP.

Weighted moving average of last 100 fittings (meta or isk, ladies choice) would work just fine.

My better suits average around 23k isk and 3 meta...protobears would play with other 100k+ meta 8 protos.

Thinking more, i vote meta average so as not to unfairly penalize dropship pilots even more.

I have added an extra note to the OP stating that not all that was listed is coming with 1.2, as confirmed by the dev post. I apologize for any trouble this may have caused.
