It's the forums.
I've been a long time browser of the forums here. After a while of this I've seen a trend. Practically everyone here complains constantly, and bashes CCP, or just trolls. This is ridiculous. So here's my take.
First, I have several characters I have played a lot. I've been a Medic/Logi, assault, shotgun scout, laser rifle, tanker, dropship pilot, and sniper. I have rarely experienced one tenth of the stuff being constantly whined about on here. So I've compiled a small list of answers to the commonly complained about issues:
1. Lag; Maybe you should check your internet connection and placement of your PS3. This isn't a small game and small maps there's a lot to be digested.
2. Hit detection; Haven't had a problem since Uprising. Maybe you really just need to aim a bit better. This isn't Call of Duty the sticky aiming isn't going to save your life.
3. The Shotgun debacle; see answer two.
4. PC being broken; Personally never done PC so I wouldn't know, but reading all the constant whining here's my thing:
1. Timezones; Understand that can be frustrating to other countries.
2. No one sees a need for it in EvE. I haven't particularly looked at EvE itself with planetary involvement, since I'm not in the bigger alliances that most of the teams seem to be connected to, so I can't see if it really is having the effect that CCP intended. As long as it's working as planned, then yes it has an impact. So if you say it doesn't or EvE isn't taking it serious enough, here's what I propose you do; start a corporation of all the people complaining on Dust forums about it and start taking the districts with ZERO tie to EvE. If it starts impacting EvE players wallets they'll start taking you serious.
5. Comparing Dust 514 to any other shooter is pointless and immediately makes your argument moot. Dust 514 isn't another shooter it's not Call of Duty, it's not Battlefield, it's not Planetside 2. I'm sorry if that's what you expected.
6. Complaining about stuff taking to long to patch or fix. When did the game ACTUALLY go live? Everything before that was just beta. Expecting stuff to be fixed immediately after we JUST came out of Beta is kind of asinine.
7. Skill respec. Okay, CCP reset your character. You went crazy changed some stuff, wanted something different, didn't want to wait on the new patch to come out and you spent your skill points. Now, CCP says they'll hook you up, they're giving you a free respec. I, say to this, here's your coloring book, shut up and color. They'll get to it when they get to it. Fill out your Ticket and be done with the whining. I've seen several posts by Devs saying there was some characters that fell through the cracks, understandable. Re-submit a ticket and wait.
8. Get off the DEV's back. This is their job, they're doing something no other game has, not to mention this is CCP's first foray into an FPS. There's going to be bumps in the road. It's fine, they're working on it. A little common courtesy and respect will get you a long way. If you have a problem relay it to them, don't immediately jump on the forums and blast out "DUST IS DEAD!" or "OHMAHGAWD FPS IS BROKEN!" or "THIS GAME SUCKS!" If I was a CCP reading these forums day after day listening to all the negativity and complaining, I wouldn't help a single one of you.
Anyway, off of my soap box now.
TL;DR: "Forums, come on, Less QQ; more Pew Pew."
Yours in Christ,
Jay Westen.

da GAND wrote:there are alot of people that still didn't get there respec still
Yes I am fully aware that a lot of people haven't received their respec. That sucks. But complaining about it on the forum is far less productive than actually resubmitting their ticket or emailing CCP.
Nimera wrote:Looks like somebody got their respec already
You are correct. I'll even do you one better, I switched from what I liked doing in Beta to doing something else in Uprising. I hated it and I wanted to switch back. Instead of initially coming on here and complaining, and asking for a respec, I started the grind over. Then when CCP announced they were doing respecs I asked for one, waited patiently for it to come. Sucks it hasn't came for some people but like I said before to da GAND, stop complaining and actually fill out your ticket again, or email CCP. Then wait.

I don't go around making threads about it, cause I'm pretty sure they're well aware of it. But don't make excuses for it.
Then it wasn't directed at you. Again haven't had the issue, stating my experience. Plus offering some advice. Don't jump to conclusions. Plus isn't framerate and general lag two different things? I said lag, or at least I'm pretty sure I did.

Yeah I just ran a network test on mine to see. 8Mbps Download and 1Mbps Upload. Haven't had an issue.
For people who don't know; hit your playstation home button the go settings -> network settings -> internet connection test.
I'm not saying this is what you're connecting to the game at, I'm not saying this is the problem, I'm saying that's what you're connected with your playstation at. |

DeadlyAztec11 wrote:Why can't we compare Dust to other games? Seems a bit bias to declare this game as 'different'. Same excuse people give to avoid comparing COD and BF.
In COD how many shots does it take to kill someone? Can you change the amount of health that your player has? Do certain weapons do better against certain classes?
That's why. |

When you don't participate in the a major component of this game and you play spreadsheets in space, your opinion matters less than the guy spamming Planetside2 posts everday. Although, I don't have a problem with that guy.
Awwwwww... Aren't you just the cutest little window licker I have ever seen.
Are you just fuming because everyone flamed your post about a damn typo in a job posting? Now you're looking for other stuff to complain about, like only having one like on a character? I can't even take you seriously anymore.
