Okay. So CCP is " ignoring" our requests. Seriously, do you know how god**** long time it takes to code a game? The gun you are shooting probably took an hour to code- for the render and reloading animation. Just the animation.

8,760

From what I know, when EvE came out it sucked too, and got better over the years. So if CCP can improve this game over the years, you'll see it then.

Rome Wasn't build in a day.

Neither. Was. EvE.

This is not a poor game. You sir are just poor at playing the game.

I use to get confused as to what standard this game is going for? Is it going for AAA title? A niche title like eve? or a game only the nerds that are viewed as nerds by other nerds play?


*bit harsh*

welcome to eden.

*you don't play eve. You find it boring*

But I love the ladies that do. Hi

A good feedback? Not really no.. An average one at most.. And yeah. I like what CCP are doing and the fact that I-¦m playing the game for free.

Starting a thread like this one has no purpose what so ever but still you are here angry because there are people out there enjoying Dust.

Are you 12 years old? 13 perhaps? What-¦s going on??

Id say the reasons are evident. Bugs lag and poor community.

Yeah it is unfortunate this game is heading the way of the dodo and mag.

Community is actually killing the game. CCP needs to hire some fps vets to do some advising.

They had a group of some of the best console FPS vets for over a year giving advice since last April.

Didn't help.

On the balance end of things I'd say too much attention paid to metrics and the adjustments we're too much toward the raw stats on weapons and not enough on their actual behavior.

On the actual gameplay side of things - framerates and hit detection used to be worse - but somehow the game was way more fun and playable. That was likely due to the fact that the actual controls were pretty smooth and responsive. That all went out the window with the infamous strafe nerf - the real killer of this game IMO. They couldn't just put a slight 5% touch on the strafe and make the animation reflect a directional change to make the movements seem a little more natural, oh no. They had to go and kill it dead.

We went from zipping around on ice skates to cruising on a segway...

DUST wasn't able to run on CCP's Carbon platform, and instead had to be developed on Unreal instead due to PS3 limitations, and by then, they were (I am going to take a shot) already obligated by an exclusivity contract with Sony. This meant a severe crippling of their efforts to fully interlink EVE Online and DUST 514

I'm going to say that all the other development problems have stemmed from that, since DUST has been, technically, in development since they began working on the full-body graphics engine for "walking in stations/ambulation" expansions for EVE Online around 2006 when they first started releasing a few engine demonstrations.

Because it was a dual-purpose development effort, when they ran into the problem that the Carbon Engine couldn't run on the PS3, it crippled both the expansion development and set DUST development back to near-square-one, and now their development teams were split between two very different projects instead of jointly working off the same engine to combine the projects.

So, in the end, we get what we have.

They *might* have better leeway with expanded PS4 capacities for redeveloping DUST 514 for it on the Carbon platform, but even if they were to do so, they've already committed assets and resources to the PS3 release. They need to keep it afloat to make up for the loss/cost, and base that on whether or not they're going to evaluate feasibility for a PS4 release, now that it's obvious that long term PS3 support will not work to their advantage.

the ps3 is terrible to develop for.

ccp have a long roadmap and will most likely stick to their plan, although I read they are going to change the roadmap slightly and bring about changes to the core mechanics first instead. Although they should have been solid even before Uprising.

PS4 won't kill DUST if DUST is on PS4 but who knows. I'd like to come back to this game on a new engine on a new platform and have it thrive like it should do.

As I said in another topic...

"The problem with your logic is you are assuming the same outcome will happen with two completely different experiments. Yes, the experimenter (CCP) is the same, but the variables and subject matter are way different.

One is one PC, the other on console.
Those markets alone are vastly different.

One is pretty much the only spaceship MMO out there to possibly go to, the other is an FPS, a genre that gets a new game every week. One has no competition, the other has nothing but competition.

CCP cannot do what they did with EVE and expect a success."
