I mean you guys all know about the new bullet falloff and resolving the bullets suddenly disappearing at short ranges thing since fanfest.

Well CPM gets to see many things before you guys do hence the whole NDA thing. I see only one thing worth getting numbers early for and that would be the new range system. I wished there was a blog on that alone.

How is the new bullet falloff? Is the range limit just removed, or how does it work?

I would explain but I haven't seen a detailed peep yet other than a new system is coming in.

Also that stunt Regyum pulled off just is one such example of scaring a developer away from the forums.

So can you confirm that we're actually getting the new falloff system in 1.2?

That's literally the top priority at the moment, as far as I'm concerned.

Or are they just giving all weapons a little more range while keeping the system as is?

Assuming you're allowed to answer that, of course

Our feedback would be speculative and worthless, we need to experience the changes not read about them.

I am only confirming that the developers wanted to do something of having bullets suddenly disappear after optimal, this was stated back in fanfest its been stated multiple times around on the forums and IRC.

Agreed, however... giving us the information ahead of times allows us to manage expectations.

There are a lot of theorycrafters out there who will spreadsheet the weapon changes and a lot of them will be able to point out glaring errors right away.

However, just releasing them in 1.2... nobody has any clue what to expect, and then gets frustrated when glaring errors are made that they could have offered feedback on ahead of time.

Look at the armor plates drama, we all saw the numbers and immediately knew they would be essentially worthless, and a lot of good discussion came from it.

UPRISING 1.2 BRINGS ISK TRANSFERS, PLANETARY CONQUEST CHANGES, AND MORE!

http://dust514.com/news/blog/2013/05/team-true-grit-for-uprising-1.2

So now I will repeat,

Boy I hope there is more than just this BS ^

That dev blog is only what team true grit is doing, there are a lot more teams than just that one. So yes, there is more than just that.

However, those changes are going to be very welcome IMHO, I'm not unhappy at all about them.

Our feedback would be speculative and worthless, we need to experience the changes not read about them.

We plan to cut damage by **, range by ***, and ROF by **

* Reduced damage and max range of the HMG

LOL @ folks thinking we have to be communicated with. Hahahahaha.

It's a privilege, not a right.

You know that no matter what the numbers are there will be a split opinion with everyone thinking they know best. And, then, as usual, after they come out people will change their tune based on what really happens, and then there will another opinion split with everyone thinking they know best.

It's a complete loser zoo.

If these forums, and the people who desire the game to improve are too much for you to handle, then you shouldn't come on here. Maybe Dust is a summer filler for you, or maybe you genuinely believe the game is heading in the right direction or is at an appropriate level of quality right now. Either way, you are very much in the minority with those opinions, and no matter how much you cry about what other people say, they are not going to stop talking.

BTW, there are no such things as rights, but I wouldn't expect a simpleton to understand so high-minded a concept.

HMG users are sh*tting their pants right in fear of Deja Vu'

As I said in the other thread: PROPOSE the Weapon Balancing changes, dont make them. If it has to wait until Uprising 1.3 then by god do it, but dont release those changes without our initial feedback. You will be repeating the same mistake youve made every time by making unnecessary or over-the-top changes that will have to be corrected again later on.

Been asked by cpm internally to release all stat change prior to them going live. So obviously i support that thread.
