Planetside 2's Roadmap seems to be Soon(tm) too. Kind of funny, considering how highly praised it is by certain bots, either programmed or by prerogative, speak of it.

Explain dust the game then. I'm sure it's a half finished product.

LOL, have you guys listened to yourselves.

You think CCP has to touch base with you on everything? Sure, it would be nice, but they don't have to do jack ****. I don't care if CCP ever tells me they are releasing patches or not.

The game will change. I'll adapt. If I get pissed I'll leave instead of throwing ***** all about the forum like a primate.

When you get to the point that you think YOUR comments and advice are the only thing that can save CCP you are very ****ing deluded.

Me, I know I'm nobody. I'm playing the game because the current issues don't stop me from having fun. Well, when the server is up anyway.

Yes, I'm also aware of all the "customer is always right" and "listen to the customer" baloney. This is CCP. I expect they'll tough it out while you cryhards empty your bowels here daily... put out new content and fix glitches and things over time... and many of us will be happy to play even if the game doesn't get your certificate of approval.

Hey, I just figured why some of the cryhards don't leave... their egos are so inflated they can't get out the door.

Legitimate question to you.

How do you make this game fun? Iv plated since closed beta and i was never able to get into the "I cant wait to play this game at the end of the day" cycle.

I still stalk the forums from time to time to see whats going on. As I said befor, what makes this game fun for you?

Id like to know so I could try it too.

Honest answer. I don't have a lot of things I can pull out of a hat. There is the usual host of things that people want... improved game play mechanics, content, maps, etc.

However, two things that probably won't sound like much that I can also suggest:

• When fixing balance issues figure out ways to do so that don't introduce a big painful negative. People feel negatives, losses, twice as acutely as a a gain. An example I can explain is the "quick scope" problem for sniper rifles. Now, every time you scope the rifle fights you by turning in some random pattern until it quiets down. It's silly. Why not just go for the future high tech solution and suggest the range/power combo requires warm-up and that before warm up there will be a dispersion effect that settles down as the rifle warms. Hey, no fighting the rifle, no need to lose your aim all the time, and no need to worry about "quick scope" problems. Is that more fun... not sure, but it represents a fix philosophy that might end up with better game feel over time -- as adding fun impacting concepts to achieve balance is a process that can go a long way.


• I don't play the game for SP or ISK. I play a battle at a time and try to do the best I can each battle. While I still manage to cap out most weeks -- I am having fun. The people that complain about not having fun often seem to be the ones that talk about grinding, falling behind, losing something if they don't cap out, all that kind of thing. You don't have to end up with as much SP as another to max out a role and be effective. You can enjoy the journey and not just the destination. Maybe a bit metaphysical but just simply allow yourself to enjoy the things that do work and not let the problems hide those things.

I see the problems, I'm impacted by the problems, I hope they fix the problems, but I'm still able to have fun.

Since when is transparency ever a bad thing?

Feedback appreciated

Here is what I think

I see a lot of, " Its Free who cares" in this thread.

Yeah it may not have cost us real money unless we made the choice to spend money on it but by no means is this game free.

Time!

My time is worth something and I have put a lot of time into this game only to have CCP keep coming back to me telling me that they need more of my time before it gets fixed.

Well my time wallet has about run dry.

Until they can fix core FPS mechanics not only will they not get any of my real money but they are not going to waist anymore of my time.

Why is it that some gamers feel so entitled, that they can tell pubs/devs what to do with games, as if they are the ones funding what happens with the games?

CCP will do it if/when they feel like it.

They could just take you money and end the Dust 514 service and take it to PC.
