I am sorry but developers don't want to give you features that are half done.

Then don't try to sell me on the devs not wanting to communicate with us. When Dust 514 released, and especially after Uprising, it still felt like it was in it's beta stages. The devs should WANT to keep us in the loop, not necessarily about new content...we can all wait for that...but about more important issues like glitches and weapons being ridiculously UP now (the MD for example). The whole purpose behind closed/open betas are to fix bugs and get feedback from players. They chose to release a title to the public that was not complete and then they hide behind their NDA's so they don't have to apologize for releasing a patch that was inferior to the original release. New content and when it's coming out is not the issue here. Maybe a roadmap is just not in CCPs best interest. Sure, the CPMs might know something but can't say. I totally understand and respect that, but when it comes to actual game mechanics, the devs should be more up front with what they are doing about it. I didn't mean the CPMs should inform us of future patch contents and their release dates, but I believe they should inform us of fixes that are or are not in progress. It would seriously cut down on a lot of threads like this.

I'm in the computing field and people think creating something new and complex is like filling in boxes in a spreadsheet. Sorry, creativity takes time. Inspiration has to strike. You try out the idea. Maybe it works. Maybe it doesn't. It's not like you can draw a straight line on a calendar and simply declare when new capabilities will be done and worthy of release. People make estimates for a reason... Some of you need to grow up and develop some patience. The world moves at the pace it does... no matter how fast you want it to go. We have been more than patient...the problem lies with the lack of communication. The vague, non-factual reply from CPM is proof of this. Patience only goes so far and can be tolerated so much when, as a fan base, we are left out of the loop (what little fan base Dust 514 has already without issues like this turning more and more players away every day). Me? I'll remain patient...Dust 514 is a good game, and it has the potential of being a great game, but I somehow feel I'm patiently awaiting the release of PS2 and Destiny on PS4 rather than the devs to pull this game up to even par. I speak for a lot of people when I say we're still gonna play, and wait, and play, and wait some more, but If CCP doesn't get with the program, I'm gone when the PS4 drops those titles. I mean come on...how hard is it to give us a roadmap of where Dust is going? It leads me to believe there isn't one, and the half-a$$ replies by CPMs and DEVs all over this forum support this theory.

This is CCP's baby, not ours, let go of it. Actually, like any other form of art and entertainment, once it's released it becomes the public's baby. Sure CCP pioneered the idea and made it happen, but we are the blood that keeps it this baby alive. CCP are now the maintenance men and window washers, there to keep things polished and working nicely. Nobody likes dead babies.
