Is this a complete list of 1.2 features from TrueGrit or can we expect more (like a reason to play Faction Warfare, for example)?

This is just another step toward getting the DUST 514 economy where it needs to be. We also have designs in the works for direct player-to-player item trading, corporate hangars, EVE-to-DUST ISK transfers, and more. No timeframe on when you will see those, but they'll hopefully be on the roadmap soon.

SECOND!

Joking aside, looking forward to the ISK transfers and PC changes myself.

Can you explain a little more about what exactly "Monitor Starmap Security" does in relation to Dust? Right now security status doesn't really affect us, as far as I know.

Is this going to be relevant when PvE comes out?

1.2 was a fairly short release cycle, we have a lot of other things on the stove right now and we will be rolling that out when it's ready.

All very usefull and apreciated! Many hugs for Gridlock.

commando suit? new armor plates? new weapons? are they in in 1.2?

Any chance we could increase the payout or loot from PC to encourage people to play it?

Dial up officer weapon drops, and triple isk rewards.

Do the delayed chat channels have any effect on game performance? If so some metrics for that point of the blog would be great ;)

This makes for a possibly difficult situation where those who are entrenched in a position would have an even stronger advantage when fending off attackers by getting an even fatter wallet after each battle. Also, once the door is open between economies, isk rewards will generally fall by the wayside in favor of eve sponsors.

There are a lot of changes coming up in Uprising 1.2. To introduce the first group of these changes, CCP Foxfour has this new dev blog to discuss everything Team True Grit has developed.

The payment should increase for the individual mercs not the corp.

Not sure how this would effect those entrenched? What I would like to do is encourage corps to play right now several large corps have basically pulled out and are not interested in playing PC I'm hoping we can entice these corps back until other larger fixes can be implemented.

Any indication on corporation tax? Or has that decision not been made yet?

CCP at what point did you think that givin us loot and no trading option on the road map was a good idea

How about u turn looting off and then increase payment for matches coz tbh no player trading make getting loot pointless becoz my self gets loot that i cant use but wait i cant sell it either see the problem

For the love of god get this fixed str8 after aiming

No promise on when, but we are actively working on it and hope to have it out later this summer/year/future. :D

Removing the ability to kick players mid battle really neuters the feature. Sometimes you don't know an AWOX'er until you're all in the fight. It's better than the current situation, but even with more corporate roles, this is a must have ability for something as important to dusties as territory control.

Well they did that more or less by design.
They still want the ability for a well placed spy, or Awoxer to really mess things up, but now they will have to work slightly harder for it. They'll have to show that they can be trusted enough to get into the battle, and only reveal their true colors once they are in. Before anybody could preempt the main team entering the battle, people everyone knew where up to no good, and there was nothing you could do about it.

CCP wants the ability for good spies to keep spying, and sneaky Awoxers to still be able to sabotage a match, they just want to make sure they have to actually put some real long term effort into their backstabbing.

:D

:D

Easy work around is to have a trusted awoxer bring some alts into the match who do the dirty deed after the battle has started (TKing, etc). Only those alts get kicked from corp and the awoxer can lay in wait to repeat their performance with some new alts later one.

Bonus points for the awoxer expressing the most outrage about the betrayal that is occurring, in order to cloak themselves.

Simple.

In EVE there would be no such this as immunity from being eliminated from a battle by being popped and pod killed. But for some reason there is this protection in Dust.

I'm quite firm that it *should* be possible to eject anyone from the match at anytime. Let the awox alts (as outlined above) do much more subtle things like shoot poorly and place uplinks in terrible places, or leak comms. You know, normal EVE behaviour.

Because of Uprising 1.2, I'm gonna leave the game and give my money away. Send me your ISK and I will double it!

This is underwhelming.

Everything is directed at PC players who actually have the 10 million SP needed to compete. Devs do realize that people quit this game months before they ever get to 5 million right? Like quit in the first week of play.

it'd be cool, if in low sec systems, there were random drone infestations that would occur in the middle of a battle on occasion.

like everyone is fighting, and then suddenly the sky changes color and drones descend from the heavens, and now everyone is fighting either together against the drones or using the chaos to accomplish the objectives. could be pretty hectic and exciting :)

Well this is truly a steaming pile, you're adding 2 small good things and 1 useless thing. No one in Dust needs to know what the security status of planets are, because it has no effect on us WHAT SO EVER!

How long you think people will just sit around and play the same 3 games over and over again.

FAIL! CCP FAIL!

Team True Grit only works on Planetary Conquest and the eve dust link which includes the corporation interface, since both Eve and Dust players can be in the same corp. Other teams deal with other stuff like weapon balance and new content.

And planetary conquest is a steaming pile of crap, and Team True Grit is doing nothing with this update to alleviate that.

Your opinion on it is irrelevant in this context. I was addressing the fact that people are raging over "only three items" in the update and thats simply not true.

This is a complete list for Uprising 1.2 from Team True Grit. Other teams have things they worked on coming as well, but nothing relating to factional warfare.

Edit: Not counting defect fixes. :)

But wait there's more!

Can you please make Molden Heath the initial focus of the starmap? It's unnecessarily annoying to click over two regions every time you open the map.

Quick suggestion: Make it clearer on the dev blog that this is not the only new content we are getting. I know that but some people don't.

YES!! it was so discouraging at first cuz I thought this was all they were doing after all this time and all those complaints

Dear CCP,

General John Ripper here applying for a job as a public representative. I can write your posts for you on your Dev Blogs in a clear and understanding manner. Confusion will be a thing of the past! Help me, help you make this the greatest MMOFPS around!

Here you are:

Thank you! I actually applied. It would be a really good idea for CCP to hire me anyways. I bought a domain last week to create a Dust 514 fansite which is still a work in progress. I also have a degree in game programming so I can easily understand the Dev's when they talk about internal game mechanics. Also I am on the forums all day anyways.

Kick from battle yeah!!

ISK transfer about time!!

Starmap Security is neat if u play EVE but pointless for us

delayed chat channels glad u guys found a way to decrease the chance of us getting disconnected

Couldnt we already transfer isk through corp?

This is just the stuff from Team True Grit. There are other teams working on lots of different things. Uprising 1.2 was also a really short development cycle.

So we should expect work from the other teams for 1.2? Even if they are small updates? (Short and sweet updates are better than no updates :D )

Yes.

Yes.

its nice to see that were finally getting some future vision with out player owned crystal balls

ISK transfers. Now players can supplement ISK income by creating new characters, transferring their ISK and deleting them.

What a joke of an update that took ages.
You people really need to step it up or you'll be Done and Dusted.
Don't be so lazy, please.

So when is 1.2 released? Anyone know?
I'm out of the loop a little because I've been away for a while.

Are there any changes (that you can comment on) relating to the blast radius for the mass driver, flay lock pistol, and grenades?

In my opinion the Non-Assault mass drivers blast radius are way too small and don't hit properly when shooting directly at the enemy feet. The flay lock pistols hit correctly (as if it were a mass driver) but the blast radius should be reduced (given such large damage output, larger than mass driver...ehem odd for a pistol...), and grenades "should" do reduced damage the farther away from the center of the explosion (drop off etc).

Any comments with regards to these defects?

Please proceed to aisle 9 where we have a special offer on choco-pops..

The update couldnt come any sooner.

Dust is dying.

Ok look, another useless doomsayer.

/popcorn

Dust is dying.

Mind blown.

Most genius isk sink for Eve online of all time.

Oh look, another person trying to reassure the masses that this game will be successful when all you are stating is nothing more than a conjecture.

It goes both ways.

It really doesn't matter whether this is a conjecture or not. I guess the point of "useless doomsayer" comment is that it really is useless. EVE Online forums had been plagued by "EVE is dying" posts for as long as I play the game (5+ years) and probably long before that. And it really doesn't matter that the "EVE is dying" posts have been proven wrong time after time - they may be right in the case of DUST (although I don't think so). What matters is that such comments serve no purpose for the game nor it's players. If you don't like something in DUST (or think it just plain sucks) - don't play it. It's not that you had to pay to play it.

How long till the update! They need to add more dropsuits and change the sensitivity for aiming, when you put it to 40 (it skips 10) it gets too low!

EDIT:it's kinda like Battlefield 3 aiming! This game is would be better than it if it had better graphics and towers falling down from huge explosions, but that's just copying BF3.

• Did you increase movement speed? (IMO- it fixes a lot of tertiary issues with dust: lavs, snipers, etc.)
• Do weapons do more damage @ proto level?
• Do sniper rifles have more scope sway?

Until these critical issues are fixed, there is no point in playing this game.

Special Thanks to Team True Grit

for the small update lets see how mercs use Commando Suit, will be... interesting, i also love the idea of monthly updates. What are the others teams names???

Team Ranking
#1 Team True Grit
#2 Unknown
#3 Unknown
