I'm seeing flux grenades flying to counter heavily shielded dropsuits
I'm seeing people running more AV and blowing up murder taxis (even LLAVs) all the time
Tankers are still being effective (still don't see why they're complaining)
While nanite injectors are broken, logis are instead supplying uplinks
LAVs are using GUNNERS to kill!

While plenty of things are still broken, it isn't that bad

The forums have been filled with pointless doomsaying and people who think every other game that comes out is flawless (the forums of the "better" games will probably be this bad too)

The point is, the forums are making the situation of dust out to be far worse than it actually is. Brighten the hell up, and enjoy what we have while waiting to find everything that isn't perfect with 1.2

Yes,yes,yes!!! Someone else who understands, thank you, there are other adult minded mercs out there!!

Shhhh... don't tell anyone i was here and keep it up! Oh.. What you mean where is everyone? 7k plus not enough for you? I haven't seen over 9k yet at the times I log on so not sure what numbers your looking for? Or why even?

This is one example https://forums.station.sony.com/ps2/index.php?threads/ps2-dying.133965/ Also all the talk about Dust's online numbers being low. Truth be told right now that game's world wide server population isn't that much different. As seen here: http://sirisian.com/planetside2/population.php?world=all&timezone=0&allfactions=false Doesn't matter the company that put a game out etc. etc. etc. there's always a group of doomsayers and chicken littles saying the sky is falling. Not saying dust doesn't have it's problems because it does, but personally I take all the doom and gloom with a grain of salt because I've seen it all before.

Brighten the hell up, and enjoy what we have while waiting to find everything that isn't perfect with 1.2 Today I'm running around the map and I find myself a sniper. I come up behind him, 2m away, aim down sights into the back of his stationary head and unload. A full clip from my AR. After running out of bullets I've gotten him to around 80% left on his shields. He turns around and empties his entire SMG into me. I still have 75% shields. We both reload and just fire at each other from 5 metres apart, both of us barely moving, we go through another clip each and we're finally both into armour. We are both on our third clip before I finally win. This isn't lack of player skill, this isn't lag, the game knows I'm there, we're barely moving and I'm getting the occasional hit marker and we are both doing some damage. Hit detection is just totally borked. Then the next fight I nail some dude in 2 shots from half a map away, pretty sure he was as astounded as I was. The basic FPS mechanics are just completely and utterly broken, that's not "isn't perfect", that's total Colonial Marines level BS. Just because CCP is a cool indie-developer-graduated-success-story with one good game doesn't mean they deserve to have their egos stroked when they have so badly implemented this one. Why don't I quit? I dunno, I must be goddamn stupid, my OCD insists I should see out my current active booster while my commonsense looks over my shoulder and says "WTF are you doing?!" If 1.2 isn't the Jesus patch commonsense will probably win.

CCP have probably wrung every last cent out of you that you would possibly ever want to spend on a "free" game. If you are one of those who slung over cash to SUPPORT CCP or SUPPORT THINGS TO COME you probably have a right to complain.

The game is already easily one of the worst lobby shooters to hit a console in years. You sir haven't been in the codex build or the one before that if you think it's worse right now. Codex build was insanely unbalanced The one before it froze all the time I remember in Replication and Codex that I had to endure the following: 1. Micro-warping mercs. 2. [INVALID FITTING] error 3. Constant hard freezes every 2-3 matches. 4. Scouts with dumb-fire swarms running into cramped rooms suiciding whole groups. 5. People getting spawn killed in their own redlines. 6. ARs able to compete with snipers 7. HMGs able to out range an assault. 8. Knives were so weak that you couldn't hit anyone, not even yourself. 9. Endless spawn killing in ambush matches where you died before your screen loaded up. 10. Character collision messed up my sneak attacks and made it hell for hackers. 11. Poles were so powerful that proto tanks died when they even touched them. 12. Dropships lived up to their names... literally. I mean, imagine a dropship constantly crashing into the ground on purpose and survive to continue crushing mercs. 13. Swarm launchers couldn't catch up with their targets and their range was pathetic at best. 14. Graphics took so long to load up that the matches were usually halfway done by the time they finished loading. 15. Logging into the game took almost 5-7 minutes alone. 16. LAVs had about the same handling as that of a Rally car on slicks driving on the dirt roads in the middle of winter. 17. Snipers able to kill you from the complete opposite side of the map. 18. Improper rendering made it impossible to sneak in even with L5 skills invested into profile dampening. 19. Audio problems with the computer-voice lady and guns. 20. Remote Explosives were the OP flavor of the month as it was easy to just throw it down and instantly nuke your target without much effort. They were just as effective as grenades. 21. FLUX grenades were able to kill you even when they were meant to just knock out your shields.

Even caldari logis die quick to scrambler headshots. The trick is to end the fight before by dancing even begins

Yea that does speak a lot about the game. Lmao. What's wrong with being forced to use a counter? Your damn right people should be forced to use a counter. And what do messed up mechanics have to do with applying the proper counter for a situation? Should proper mechanics mean you can destroy a tank with your Assault Rifle? If the mechanics worked properly, no one would use a counter? Why wouldn't they? Now that people are wising up to the counters, solutions for some so called "OP" tactics/weapons/situations are becoming more apparent. So yeah, damn right people are forced to use the counters. Good. (unless your post was supposed to be sarcastic. --> then I would suggest adding /sarcasm for the confused)
