I can't even imagine the frustration of the people who spent 30 hours a week grinding out sp like freaking robots just so they could be on the same level as everyone else

I didn't spend any cash its all good.

But, for the ones that did spend a couple hundred on the game

You have my deepest condolences

They also promised that these developments would happen over a 10 year plan.

It's only the 2nd year.

Developing as intended.

They better wait quick. They haven't gotten it working for the PS3 yet and the PS4 is almost out.

We'll be on the PS7 or 8 or P-BOne or something before 10 years is up.

Furthermore, it's a bad sign when your 'development plan' sounds like it was passed by US congress.

It's been in development since 2009 at least. fact.

There were so many promises made about dust. We were promised thousands of maps. We were promised it would play as well as a AAA FPS. We were promised that every shot fired would affect eve in some way or another. We were promised deeper customization than any other FPS on the market. The list goes on and on.

Now, after 14 months of beta, a month after release, we have none of that. All we play are the same four modes on the same five maps. The core mechanics are so bad the game is unplayable to anyone who's played a decent shooter. Eve interaction is barely there, if at all. The customization amounts to nothing more than perk stacking. Almost every promise made back when the game was being hyped up in 2012 was broken.

I can't even imagine the frustration of the people who spent 30 hours a week grinding out sp like freaking robots just so they could be on the same level as everyone else when the game gets good, only to realize that it will only get worse (uprising proves that). They feel cheated by CCP. And some of them don't have much else to do, so they troll, and they'll continue to troll until another game with a similar idea shows up.

CCP, if you're reading this, the one thing you should take away from it is to not over promise. If you want to get us excited about something, make sure its something you can actually pull off in a reasonable time frame. Don't tell us what you have planned for 10 years down the road.

I know where everyone is coming from here and yes, I am appalled at CCP for their content releasing/bug fixes. Maybe it is the limitations of the PS3 for their current dreams and goals. CCP Shanghai has not been doing a too good of a job with Dust. Maybe it is time to hand the bulk of the project to Iceland where EVE is originated really. Maybe when PS4 comes out, CCP already have their Carbon engine running on it and they want to be hush-hush and surprise everyone when it comes closer to launch of the PS4 and a relaunch of Dust (lol)

All Speculation here but yes, Dust has got VERY boring and they NEED some new shinies that would try to draw some of the older crowd back in. As I said in many threads, I'm a fanboy. Do you give up on your favorite sports team for not delivering? They will get better in all hopes. I hope CCP Shanghai actually starts to listen to us!

A lot of people from what I notice seem to have this weird conclusion that if you make a decent MMO you can make a decent FPS.

having a strong engine means nothing. How many FPS games has had great engines and sucked. "But this is DUST, from EVE ONLINE!" EVE. A mmo. what's projects have ccp on their plate? another mmo.

FPS is not CCP strong point. Carbon engine be damned. It's a great engine, but It's not the most strongest engine out there. Nor the most versatile. Nor is it going to be a **** of a game better if it's still a **** of a game.

CCP needs to LISTEN to those fans that know FPS. to make an FPS game playable. EVE can and will be EVE with out dust.

Dust is just nothing without "eve". sad but true.

I made a video expressing the OP's Concerns

Please leave comment if you agree.

Thanks

It was originally being developed on the Carbon engine, of which they found out the ps3 couldn't handle it and had to recode all that work, and then continue to develop on a 10 year old engine of which they have never used before. fact.

We were promised that every shot fired would affect eve in some way or another.

Game development on this started not long after they announced the "Walking in Stations" or "Ambulation' projects for EVE online when they started developing a full-body 3d rendering system, since they dual-jacked it for Dust and WiS before they apparently gave up and bought a certain engine because they couldn't do it themselves.

EVE players have pretty good memories, so it's safe to say that this game has been "in development" since nearly 2006. That's right around the time Hilmar started drinking his own liquid hype and started 'dreaming big of projects he can't complete'. Then he started dreaming big and began to believe he can complete at least one of those things. To date, no EVE player has ever seen outside of their station prisons.

7 years and counting, and this is what we get? I overestimate CCP yet again!

Wow. So they are that bad at planning? They picked an engine incompatible with their target release console? Where do I send my money?

You are a true dumbass. The only way to see if something will work properly is to test it out. They tested and failed. I don't see a problem with this.

So, they knew the other engine would work until it didn't, and then switched to an old engine that they didn't know wouldn't work to test a brand new and really old game for something that wouldn't run it? You're right, I do feel dumb.

If i shoot an afker in the MCC does a bear hear it while crapping in the woods?

No they tested an engine that they thought would work but in the end didn't so they switched to an engine that was already known to run smoothly on consoles so yes you are a dumb.

So they just pushed it out of beta early twice? So far so good.

TBH, I wouldn't be surprised to find out that some of the trolls are cee cee pee alts looking to help bury discussion on what players may view as "broken" mechanics that they feel are "features working as intended".

IDK, I might just be paranoid.

probably not though.
