Even though CCP failed hard in the balance department, I have some nice things to say about the game now.
My first match was a snow match, which is awesome, because I f'ing love snow. I noticed that because of the mood the map was very dark, and I will talk about why I loved it later.
First thing I did was call in an LAV, and man that was quick! 3 seconds after I called it in, I had an LAV to drive around in. I also noticed the women's voice didn't say "ETA, 15 seconds", I guess it's a good thing they removed that.
First thing I did was push R2, which turned the camera around, and I thought "well, that's weird". Something changed in the controls in Uprising 1.2, I had to go to the settings and change it back to what it was.
So I was driving around, and I noticed "wait, this is smooth. Is this running on a stable 30FPS? No way...", but it is! It felt so great that I did some loops on the ground as a little victory dance.
Once I got out of the LAV, I thought "hmmm, I wonder how I can test the new range". So I saw a blaster turret far far away, almost couldn't see it, and I took a shot at it with my Duvolle AR. And it hit! I was amazed, no more disappearing bullets!
I went ahead and hacked a blaster turret, and then went to a dark spot and put an uplink in it. I noticed that the radial menu worked much better, heck I could do quick switches that before would confuse it. I saw an enemy go hacking the blaster turret, and I shot him in the head. The new headshot music scared the hell out of me lol
I went to capture the CRU, and had a firefight. First thing I noticed is "wow, now that it's running on a stable 30FPS, the controls actually feel good!". I had no problem aiming.
Put down an uplink near the CRU, and waited for an enemy to spawn before I start hacking, in case there is one coming right away. And there was, I killed the proto caldari scum and went ahead on hacking.
After that I helped in a firefight to take a control point (I forgot which it was), and I repped some people. The rep effect looked nice, so that's a plus :)
So I want outside and felt relieved. I felt relieved because I finally saw some light. The darkness in the complex I was in was unsetteling, I felt like there are enemies everywhere and I couldn't see them. I moved in the shadows to keep myself hidden.
Once I was outside I noticed there was a fight for a bridge. I went there, put a nanohive down for my team mates who were fighting there for a while, and started helping. My team got obliderated, only I was left alone to fend off 3 proto Caldari. Now that the aiming felt right, I could actually have a chance to fend them off, I killed one, heavily wounded the other to make him go into cover and ran away under the bridge. The non damaged one tried to get me, but I used the box under the bridge to give myself time to repair. After I was 75% repaired I faced him and managed to get headshots thanks to the aiming feeling right. I went on and confronted the last guy, who forgot about me so I had an easy kill.
My team mates came back and captured the bridge, I repaired some people, gave them some ammo, and moved on to the last objective.
That fight was a bloody mess, I barely got out with 20 HP on my armor (out of 530). But we got the control point, just barely.
The match ended with me going 14/0 and my team winning a crushing victory. (Our MCC shields weren't even close to be down)
Overall, this game feels more fluid, better, and FUN. That's right, FUN. Something I didn't have in this game for a looooong time.
My favorite part was how dark the complex was, so I used the shadows to do sneak attacks on enemies. |

The good thing about patches like this is: With every thing fixed there's more time left do work on the remaining issues.

Guys, I'm glad to see the positive feedback. A lot of the issues with aiming people have been having we've actually discovered are related to game performance issues (such as the frame rate improvements Cat Merc reports). We're working on correcting those and have some other fixes coming in the future that should improve them even further that should make the game play a lot better.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that got scared from the headshot sound.
Reviving seems to work as it should now from the couple of revives I did (I'm sorry for the darkside logis revives I did, just had to test it out). It seems that the body gets frozen upon getting killed and will continue with the ragdoll when the user of the dead body decides to bleed out? Atleast that's how it looked like from the funny frozen red dot on top of the rock in manus peak that started to fall down a couple of seconds later (and respawning a few seconds again after that).
1.2 seems a step in the right direction, hopefully this will continue in the next monthly updates! |

The gunplay feels a lot more natural and more like other FPS's with the range change. 10x better than 1.1.
Combine that with framerate improvements and that alone is worth the patch. Still some improvements to go but its definitely gone from totally unplayable and unfun to reasonable and playable.
Still reserving verdict on terrain until I get some more games/experimentation in. |

Communication, feedback, and concrete improvements are what will get people participating in the F2P model. For a lot of us, this is the first F2P game with microtransactions that we've ever taken a serious look at, so there's an additional barrier in getting people to spend their money -- its not like we're all used to this. Even more so if you consider the backlash from Eve players against the microtransactions concept as introduced in Incarna. Its the goodwill earned with Crucible and Odyssey, and my trust in CCP to deliver on Dust's promises that got a player like me to splurge on the Elite Pack for this game (because as it stands now a lot of stuff is just promises, orbital bombardments are old news). So much of what will make-or-break this game is based on intangibles and simple goodwill between the players and CCP. And think, just last night I spent $0.25 worth of aurum on some tank turrets... its a whole new world.
Players want more than to have some fun for themselves, they want to see the game succeed as whole. That's why its very important to even veteran players to get a NPE in as soon as possible, and I strongly suggest that it be at least iterated upon if not finished by the release of Uprising 1.3 |

Glad to see it's an improvement. Maybe now, in a year or so Dust will start being more like those old trailers we saw. Of course it won't look like them graphically, but still. I do wonder why the graphics got dumbed down though. I know the first trailer was running on the Carbon Engine, but the second one shown at Sony E3 2011 was running on the Unreal Engine, and looks nothing like this game. |

But THIS was the unreal engine. And still looks vastly different from the game. That's what I was wondering.

Since you're going with the super positive attitude, lets see. You actually did nothing about communication, or if you did it didn't get better. |

Bollox ... they didn;t do the 1 thing that needed doing above ALL ELSE .. FIX THE MATCHMAKING SYSTEM ... it's absolutely appalling !!!! Not a single new player will stay and play this game the way the current matchmaking system is set up .. 800k sp v people with full proto gear .. facepalm ... no one will stick with a game getting facerolled for 6 months b4 actually being able to do anything, SP events need to give more bonuses to new players .. giving ppl with 10m sp 3x more sp the same as ppl with 800k sp is pointless the whole issue right now with this game is the unbalanced matches ... im getting tired of constantly getting facerolled even in a squad .. i get no enjoyment out of winning when i die 9 times and get 0 kills because im completely outclassed gear wise by my opponents .. im really really not enjoying this game at all right now and im giving them 1 last update chance to fix matchmaking b4 i leave which is completely fair ... i dread to think the amount of ppl who dl the game and quit within a week because of the matchmaking |

I know us armour users got the short end, and commandos seem pretty week but overall itis a really good patch that did so many things right.
Wondered why my butt was getting kicked all over the battlefield. Took 2 matches of being run over, blown up and killed ih 3 shots to realize, I'd better learn to duck more often. Before I could go toe to toe with my douvalle. Weapon good....dropsuit..needs a few updates now. Waiting for 3x SP day. Very exciting. Love the way my Injector works now though. Much easier.

CCP Eterne wrote:Guys, I'm glad to see the positive feedback. A lot of the issues with aiming people have been having we've actually discovered are related to game performance issues (such as the frame rate improvements Cat Merc reports). We're working on correcting those and have some other fixes coming in the future that should improve them even further that should make the game play a lot better.
Aiming issues is unrelated to this. Before 1.2 there were instances that my fps dropped harshly but the aiming was unaffected yet still bad. It seems to be more related to connectivity because while on US servers (my region), the input lag is somewhat manageable, on the EU side it was near impossible to play as the input lag drastically increased (aiming, firing weapon, hacking, going into vehicles...). Try doing internal testing with connection speed of 4-5 Mb down on different servers to see if it affects aiming. |

If you go 0-9 in a squad, it ain't your gear.

It makes sense that you love to hear I'd positive comments. Really, what value does your comment add to the discussion? |

Yeah stop complaining dood. It does stink at first, but is satisfying to crawl from the bottom to the top knowing you had to die a few thousand times to get there. Every player had to do so. I've been playing for 3ish months and constantly get top 5 or better in pub matches. Maybe it's not your gear indeed.
Back on topic, can't wait to try out the update. Only hearing good things! |

I try not to complain too much about things like this, but I have to agree that there is a major balance issue in this game. I will go ahead and say that I truly SUCK at this game and I feel sorry for any team that gets stuck with me. The problem is that this is my first fps. I would like to get better at this, but it is rather difficult when I find myself against seasoned vets and find myself dying before I get a chance to join a firefight. I have improved a little by just sniping (I have the most fun on the game when engaging other snipers with my bottom of the barrel militia sniper rifle) or sitting out the battle altogether when I am in a horribly unbalanced match and getting a bit of practice in during the rare even matchup or if it is unbalanced in favor of my team (even then it is difficult to practice since I hardly get to see an enemy before my teammates wipe him out). When last I checked, I had pushed my K/D ratio up to 0.46 which is a very nice improvement over my 0.31 that I had after a few weeks of play. I honestly wish there was a practice mode where I could battle A.I. enemies with an adjustable difficulty, doesn't even need to have sp or isk rewards. I just want a place to go hone my skills so that I can someday be an asset to the team rather than a drain on the clone reserves. I am sure that will never happen though since the Devs have their hands full working hard on the rest of the game.

I feel you. It's not easy to get good at any FPS especially one like dust that is so unforgiving. Try going logistics or anti-vehicle. My piont was, personally I enjoyed matching up against vets for two reasons; 1) the off chance that I killed them & 2) the appeal of being like them in their fancy pro suits. |

hell yea, OP! I had a similar experience, then was promptly curbstomped in my next match, but then rallied to win our PC battle a few hours later!
The aiming seems so much smoother, and doing glancing damage even at far range was awesome! Keep up the good work, CCP, and don't break what you fixed (you had a bad habit of doing that with controls in the closed beta). |
