I can't for the life of me understand how this is even a question. Nearly EVERY other game gets it, I can't even think of another game than Dust that treats backwards/forwards movement the same.
Back Pedal = Forward Walk makes about as much sense as Strafe = Forward Walk or Jump = 0 Stamina.
They are all broken movement mechanics, so why does one get special treatment? I asked around today, apparantly we used to have lower speed, and everyone complained all the time and rejoiced forever when we increased it. So, do we do that merry go round again?
Ok, Rattati - First: Huge fan of how you respond and do what you say. No other game company has that kind of relationships with its players.
Secondly - This is not an issue! Please do not slow development by listening to these "fixes" and stay focused on the three things we really need: player trading, warbarges (this sounded awesome), and PC fixes (this is a big issue, 1/4 of the battle modes aren't accessible or worth playing to lets say 80% of the players.). These forum posters need to realize that they are breaking this game with complaints and changes when we need to push into 2015 stronger with "Positive ideas".
I know you can't flame people but I will. Everyone be quiet (Or JUST SHUT UP!) and put forth "Additions" and not "things that got you killed today". The heavy logi thing is another a prime example or the ARR. Vehicle balance is another one. Those can wait. This game will die if the community aspect of being part of a corp does not add value, so we need those other three things first. Thank you CCP for keeping Dust alive and keep up the good work. Sorry the forums are becoming so filled with criticism lately.

I asked around today, apparantly we used to have lower speed, and everyone complained all the time and rejoiced forever when we increased it. So, do we do that merry go round again? Next month, I will have been here 2 years. I don't remember a time in which the backwards movement was slower. ... I am not asking for a ridiculous change to back pedal, but a reasonable change.
I have been here less time than you and I remember the change. I noticed it heavily on my old murder logi when we used to be able to stack piles of damage mods with an AR on a min logi and kill everything.
If you want an example, simply walk around you room. You walk backwards at a reduced rate to forward. They never changed the walking rates in the barges or rooms.
Check that out and let us know what you think. I still stand on the grounds that I don't want them coding on this issue (Non-Issue). I will make a post below this one to get people back onto the cool idea that has been kicked around in this topic.

Since the Barbershop is talked about the most, What do we think would make PC viable as a playable game mode?
As someone who does software development - We should identify the problem(s) today so CCP can resolve them in as few improvements as possible.
I think PCs should be available to all player styles, create value for players participating in PCs. Re-enforce the idea that corp loyalty and corp battling is important. (Let me know what you think in 2 sentences what a PC should be.)
Things I think we need to fix in today's configuration (Correct me if I am wrong): 1. We need smaller corps to be able to participate (There are just too many barriers for these guys with no pay off)
2. we need bigger corps to allow for C and D line to play instead of just the A and possibly the B line (Having 100 active members in a corp will reduce the number of players who can participate in a PC when there is 1-3 a month with 16 people playing making, 3 times the usual isk. The A team will show up to that every time.)
3. We also need attacks\defenses to be less costly for smaller corps (This is closely related to number 1)
4. We need districts to be worth taking (There isn't very much purpose to hold a district. ISK gained is negative in most cases.)
5. Stop the big corps from sitting on districts and excluding other corps (This is a tough one because some corps will just flip to alternates and sit on a different district with the same effect. Just thinking outloud but maybe a passive isk gained like passive sp that gets buffed by having a district. One per account? This problem will be tough to overcome.)
6. Reduce the timers to attack or defend (PCs need to occur more quickly or more regularly so the casual player can participate. I have lots of ideas about this but I want to know if people see this as a problem if we make PCs viable again.)
Please quote this post and add in you stance on how to improve the PCs/District Ownership. I have more problems I will be including after I see the response to this.

Less is often more with development resources.
Well, yeah, theorycrafting and conjecture happen with limited information given, but that's just the nature of the beast. When holes exist, people fill them themselves. But in this specific case I forgot that the roadmap was given before the planning was set in stone, and for that I apologize. However, I still think you guys are biting off more than you guys can chew. More jaws are needed. ![P](https://forums.dust514.com/Images/Emoticons/ccp_p.png) Maybe, you gotta have big dreams.
Hey, you guys released a warbarge update less than 2 months after asking for opinions. You guys really crack the whip on those developers. The salt mines have nothing on Rattati.

I would also put out there that we could organize better with those skin colors. Internal point squad is gold, external squad is black, fast attack squad is purple. Then we can coordinate better. People wear uniforms for a reason. Also it could reduce friendly fire.

That **** is bonkers.
And I'd define simple trading as:
Select item. Select "give item". This then goes in your "give list". Go to contacts. Select player. Select "transfer give list" Are you sure? + list of "give list" items. Yes. Transfer takes place at next DT.
Now here's the interesting part: Trust.
People such as myself would start up transfer businesses. For a cut of the ISK we'll make sure items get to where they need to go. Player one sends x items and messages me saying who it is for and the agreed price. Player 2 sends x ISK saying who it is for and the agreed item and quantity. I check figures to ensure they match, if they do I transfer through. If they don't then messages are sent to sort it out or items and ISK are returned.
We already saw an EVE to Dust market arise and I've discussed running this with a friend who started that market and ran it without any issues.
Fees would be pretty reasonable. 50k for transfers under 1 million. 5% for transfers 1-5 million. Then a flat rate of 500k for >5 million.
It would be possible to do anonymous transfers (where neither party knows who is buying or selling) but that would cost more.
I did this in another MMORPG. Except we had to deliver it as well. Then you become a smuggler/merchant. If corps can do this they would become merchant guilds.

CCP Rattati wrote:IAmDuncanIdaho II wrote:Bayeth Mal wrote:Dom (depending on the post) gives wayyyyy too much power to HMG and suicide RE runs.
Now. A Dom where every 3 minutes the objective moves to another location. That would be interesting and require more active tactics.
Skirm is my preferred for stealth hacks and making use of my speed to get across the map. If one objective has a blobbed PC stomp squad, I can move on and hack a different point. They can't be everywhere at once. Now there is a nice idea. A Dom-based game mode where effectively the single objective is rotated every x minutes. Basically a series of mini-dom games rolled into one. Sounds like it *could* be easy to implement too. [edit] You could think instead along the lines of an "active" objective (amongst a number of inactive ones on the same map). Then you can play around with anywhere between 0 - n objectives being active at a given minute. [edit] You could also have a meta-game come out of it, similar to LAV racing for example, where you see whose dropship reaches the highest height parked on top of an inactive point when it becomes live. [edit] Just realised this game mode would be called DomSkirmBush [edit] Just realised I can be such an idiot. There is a reason we have a game mode on the roadmap.
Could I recommend that you borrow from the greats?
TF2 has the roll a bomb in and blow up the HQ. I would like to see something like that please. Take a few of your maps (Say the bridge, the city in the middle, a couple others, and make it so that they have to escort/drive an objective (null canon) into position to blow up the orbital platform. No orbs from defends, just attackers (This way you can dig out the tough defenses), but the orb is accrued by time and fired by the highest WP players squad. This null canon could be a vehicle if you guys want, but borrow from that game that was wacky but insanely balanced.

Arkena Wyrnspire wrote:Can someone explain to me why I would use a scout over an assault, btw?
Just curious to hear your reasoning, because atm Minassault can be fitted like a scout very effectively.
I have a min assault and the main difference is the precision/dampening and base move speed. I don't fit a green pill, and with 2 damps, and 2 kin cats, when you are recovering you are still slower than a scout which can armor up to the minassault.
The minassault can be a tanky scout but I use my scout to see other scouts as well as be invisible which it lacks. Also the scouts jump higher, so you see them froggy everywhere.
If you don't have a lot of SP I would push into min assault first. The drop suit can be used for all the roles as a vanilla. Need a fast hacker - reds, a green, and code breakers; need a storm trooper - stack the shields and armor; need AV - Dmg Mods, armor red mix, oh and he has enough sidearm ammo to leverage the smg well. That way you don't waste piles of sp in scouts when you need your upgrades to be competitive.

The people putting needles in you are definitely on that list. +1 Also, being happy about your mom filling a complaint on a dude that only tried to do his work is a seriously d1ck move. You should be ashamed of acting like that, not come here and gloat about it.. No no no no no no no NO! The dude physical tried to take off my hadphones THAT I NEED for sensory/autism, and i told him i can hear him just fine. I can hear nearly everything with them on, just everything muffled. I can't just take them off whenever, plus have autism, unfamiliar environment, unfamiliar people, need things familiar and sensory & anxiety jacked up to the extreme, you don't know what was going on, and im not gloating. Just wanted to rat because mental im still there. And not take them off gently, barging in demanding my headphone off yelling, when i told him THEN & NOW that I NEED THEM. He KNEW THAT, and didn't care and tried to intimidate me and yank them off himself. I'm not ashamed, i did the best i could with the issues i have, but i don't expect you or anyone to understand. So no not ashamed cause my behavior was appropriate for my situation, his was not. If you cant see that thats you're problem. No one understands autism then blame the patient for acting 'bad' because my needs aren't met or, jerks like him taking advantage of me whether a parent was there or nort which she wasn't. He told my mom to shut up because i can speak to myself when my file says, when im overwhelm around new people situation, i need mom to speak for me. If you can't see why i 'acted' that way too bad cause you weren't there you aren't me, and im assuming you dont have autism or dont know intimidation when you zee it or every doctor is perfect and never is wrong. Good day! TLDR autism misunderstood as usual vs doctor who tried to intimidate me. Autistics always lose go figure. Calm down, sir!
Park, I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but you need to see your part in this. People fighting (You and the doctor clashed) or being intimidated (You say that you hear muffled, but that is your perspective) is on both people. You have an illness that makes situations seem over whelming. From the long rant, both parties were in the wrong I bet. That means that you probably did something that you may not be aware of due to your illness and he reacted badly. You seem to be able to communicate clearly when you read and type so pursue that method of understanding.
Did you try to email this doctor?
Maybe he was approaching slowly and you accidentally kicked him in the jewels and you wonder why he suddenly flared up. I coach kids with special needs soccer and I can tell you that they are not always aware of their episodes. Some think I am mad at them with things as simple as me repeating myself but I know repetition helps them get acquainted to the system we use which they eventually love.
Your lashing out at the doctor probably caused more work for the nurse who really will have to work with you in the long run. Doctors are people who are paid salaries that go to student loans for the first 10 years out of school to work 80 hours a week typically in a high stress environment that is life or death.
Perhaps you should cut the guy a little slack and hear his side. If you really try and he is still being a d1ck, you will feel a weight lifted knowing you are not this person's only issue. I bet he has plenty of other issues if he really is a giant prick. But take ownership for your part. Maybe he needed to be faster with you to help another patient who had a drop in case and he was denying them to spend time with you. There are a lot of maybes like that.
Everyone wants to be the victim who is vindicated when they strike back but usually that is not the case. Think it through and I hope you are trying to improve your functionality with your illnesses, because they sound like a burden.
