I'm sorry, but your opinion is bullshit, and let me tell you why.
As of the last respec, I became an Assault after being primarily a Heavy for a long time. Why? Because they released racial variants of the Assault suits. I'm going full Minmatar, and the only thing close to what I wanted was the Minmatar Assault. So I ran with that. I don't know much about the new update [as soon as I got new games, I find I've been playing DUST less and less], but if it's bringing in new content, like new weapons or new suits, then there better be a respec. Because I'm not an Assault by choice. I refuse to invest in Amarr gear on principle, because I'm into my character, because I want to enjoy this game. As soon as the Minmatar Heavy goes live, if I don't already get a respec, you can expect me here on the forums demanding one, because that's all I've wanted from the beginning: my preferred racial variant of the Heavy suit.
Honestly, if CCP didn't want to hear a bunch of people complaining for respecs or refits, then they should have finished the game before releasing it. |

Because Ive still got Engineering 4/5 and a multitude of other skills that Ineed to get the most out of them. Instead of whining that the content isnt there, why dont you prepare for its use? Theres no way you have all of your Upgrade skills and two Weapon skills (all of them) to five, so work on that. Otherwise, youre just complaining because you cant have your toy when its not ready.
No, you're not paying attention. These are things that should have been there in the beginning. Hell, I'm not even talking about the super-specialised bullshit. There are no Gallente Heavy suits, no Amarr Light suits, so on. Those are things that should have been there before they even went to beta. We're talking about core suits that drastically affect gameplay.
Honestly, the weapons I don't really care about. You spec into whatever new toy, new gadgetry, whatever, that's your choice. It could be useful, it might not. But suits are everything in this game. The minute they release a brand new suit, they shouldn't be upset that everyone want a reset, hell, they should expect and allow it, as that is a major change in gameplay. Suits and their roles massively affect the dynamics of the battlefield, and one of the issues this game is suffering from is a lack of variation. Everyone and their grandmother is in a Medium frame, with a minority working in either Heavy or Light.
These are things CCP needs to do in order to keep DUST afloat. I haven't played this game in over a week, I've got newer, better games to play. The only reason why I keep coming back is they have a good concept, but they royally screwed their execution. I've tried defending this game to others for a while, but I'm done. I'm tired of the imbalance, I'm tired of the lack of content. The only defence I ever had for this game was that it was in beta, and as of May, they took that away. They have no excuses now. This is a barely functional game, and I regret supporting CCP for it. If they want to turn this into the game that it deserves, they need to cut the bullshit and start coming up with content: full racial variants for suits, racial variants for vehicles [with higher tiers!], in-game events and interactions that actually make you feel like you're affecting a universe, rather than playing a ****-poor lobby shooter.
Because this game is in its death throes. I've seen it before in other games and other communities. A community gets together, they talk, they have fun, but as more people realise the game isn't well done, or well supported, they slowly turn on each other, and the entire community turns caustic, before everyone remembers that all of their angst, all of their frustration is because of a stupid game. It's plain and simple. As it is now, this is just a lobby shooter with a sci-fi twist. There's some meta-gaming aspect to it, but I've yet to see it actually affect anything meaningful. And guys, let's face it, there's other shooters out there. Better shooters. So why are we playing this? |

As far as your problem, it sounds vaguely like the teenagers on Sweet Sixteen complaining that they wanted a white iPhone and not a black one. I mean listen to yourself, yeah it sucks not being able to play the Heavy but your argument is just whiny and as much as you complain about me not listening you didnt read a word I said. Ill make it brief for you:
The suit is only as good as the skills behind it and that means its only as good as the user. Youre putting all your faith in thesuit itself and pretty much saying thatno amount of secondary skills are going to help. Something tells me youre like the guy above andsaying its broken because of the militia variant...
You are still not listening to me. I actually said that I've stopped playing this game because I was tired of it being an unfinished mess. And I never said that the suit itself will support you. It's a FPS, of course player skill will have an effect on how well you play. What I'm saying is that they haven't even implemented major roles that effects the overall balance of the game. They've had seven goddamn years to make this game, and this is what they have to show for it. These aren't minor issues, they are major, glaring problems. With the PS4 launching this holiday season with a handful of free-to-play shooters with it, CCP needs to get their **** in gear or they'll have a game with no players to play it. It's as simple as that. |
