Seriously? Here's your problem. People don't have to go start their own game company, all they have to do is something far simpler and pick up any other better designed game out there.

This is what happens when a company looks at player feedback and then spits in their faces, the players aren't going to suck it up because their only alternative is something stupid like forming their own company, they're going to leave and the game is going to die.

So just like AFK, the best way to play DUST is to not

Got it.

Then do that, leave. Its like you are in line to get a free Dali painting and then give "feedback" on how you dont want any melting clocks in it. It is not a bug, it is a design choice. If you dont want it, accept it and leave.

when did I say anything about afking?

Pretty sure they don't plan any more respecs at this time. New stuff comes out, start grinding.

Only people who deserve a respec now are heavies, as they don't have all of their racial suit options.

However, I think they need to reevaluate all of the suit bonuses, considering most of them are garbage and counter intuitive to the play style each race was designed for (armor tankers being the glaring problem).

At which, point once the suit bonuses are fixed and heavy racial variants are released, we should prob get another respec, given how much change there will be to the game (again)

when did I say anything about afking?

I don't afk. Just yesterday i had a very very bad match. 13/16. The other team had good teamwork 2 full squads and most of them ran proto. I refuse to run proto in pubs. went into fights throug the hole game and made sure that at least 2 protos went home with negativ isk. This costed me 30k isk (yes i mean 30k not 300k) but sometimes you have to invest some isk

Cosgar: yes i see but how about just running an AR? The standard issue AR is enough to be successfull most of the time.

But why should Cosgar change his playstyle because CCP decided to nerf a perfectly balanced weapon?

i liked the laser rifle. got nerfed to the ground. do you see me complain?

I'm sorry that some of us have foresight and would actually like to see the already terrible player retention increase, as opposed to decrease.

Just because something is a design choice doesn't mean it's automatically right

You didn't, but what you're saying is don't use your SP because CCP is unpredictable and doesn't communicate decisions like this with us. So instead of playing the game and using your SP to enhance your experience, you sit on it, in the hopes that CCP gets something right SOONtm.

AKA, AFKing with your SP

do you have a bankaccount or do you just spend all you money on payday? Hoping nothing unforseen will happen?

Do you not pay any of your bills, and just sit on all your money until you think you have enough to make you happy?

If the only road to success was to compromise your vision and start doing things in a more traditional way, I would rather it die than turn into a shadow of what it started to be. It will succeed or it will fail, more important imo is seeing those that have faith in the vision and not catering to people who are not ready or willing to be apart of it.

Laser nerf was in the patch notes, MD nerf wasn't and no info on bugs because they obviously didn't test it. Also, laser still gets kills, play with Jaden once in a while...

Don't even ******* talk to me about the god damn vision.

I'm sick and tired about hearing about their vision. You know how other companies show you their vision? They give you something to bite into. They release finished games. Sure they might charge you for the pleasure, and even charge you for their expansions, but you know what? You generally are playing a completed game.

Don't even mention the vision until we have some kind of MMO aspects in this game.

Vison. Yea, you're right, CCP <3 LSD me thinks.

CCP is not "other companies"

Here's the problem. The forum whiners and doomsayers actually believe that they run CCP. Dust isn't designed by forumites, and thankfully so. A design choice, is by design, and therefore automatically what CCP wants. It's not your call. You aren't that important. Please leave and stop trying to turn Dust into COD and it's ilk.

Some will leave. Some will stay. Dust will survive. You guys REALLY have an inflated sense of your self worth, and btw, the validity of your input.

ahh you're jaden k. will hit you up to form squads :)

and lasers, if i ever meet them on the battlefield, get killed quickly. just close in and dont stand still. thats all you have to do to win 94.56% of the fight.

(percentage is purely made up)

So they wanted Roadkill Rampage and Pot Shot Safari

Shouldve put that in a Devblog

I've just never once played a lobby shooter where you were only allowed to use one build for months on end unless you paid the company to get you there quicker, or were forced to play in highly gimped fits (low SP) in order to enjoy other aspects of the game.

MMO's cover this by allowing you to do all sorts of things not related to shooting another player in the face as you slowly level up. Lobby shooters don't have this luxury.

Something tells me that we're going to have more than a few "Logi's" crying for a repec in the near future...

No weapon should be nerfed to the ground though. And you shouldnt be OK with that unless you are just a FotM weapon user who loves searching for the next OP. All skills should have use or be removed.

I could easily say, I want to "adapt" that SP in another area I use weapons I like and others that I find fit my playstyle. I really dont think its right that I should have to jump through hoops to use them or abandon them because of some silly axiom this game promotes.

Adapting should be tactics not finding out your weapon now shoots rainbows.
