Well I think it is important to keep you guys as informed as possible without getting into trouble. Most of the questions you guys ask on the forums daily have already been asked by the CPM to CCP and there are good bit still unanswered because people responsible are busy or not there to be asked at the moment.

how about maybe idk fix the heavys as we are again getting mowed down by flaylocks and massdrivers and still no variants to switch to .. oh wait we got a useless sp sink in the commando .. awesome WHY IS IT ASSULTS AND MEDIUM GUYS HAVE 500 DIFFERENT OPTIONS BUT WE STILL ONLY HAVE 1 SUIT 2 GUNS THAT ARE NOW COMPLTELY OUT CLASSED AND YOU GUYS KEEP GIVING ALL THE OTHER CLASSES GOODIES . just sayin

That really sux Iron Wolf... Don't you find that disheartening?

I know... just this kind of gets old waiting, but doesn't CCP have a community rep?

Well timestamps in chat because they are fun and a really large dev blog on Tuesday about some changes coming before 1.3... but I guess you could call those changes as part of 1.3... I don't know... that is up to you... but yea... dev blog on Tuesday about STUFF.

That is from Team True Grit.

Just some feedback.. It seems both CCP and the CPM are well aware of what will be in both patch 1.3 and in this mini patch next week, in honest I can't see why that information is being held back purposely from the community. CCP has stated they want to be more open in communicating with the player base yet seems to fail to grasp what doing that means. Releasing vague dev blogs and the day before the patch is hardly great communication. Furthermore it seems like each Dust team at CCP has no idea what the other teams are doing and is regularly used as an excuse to not include full patch notes before a patch.

All we are asking for is that when the CCP dev teams submit their patch to sony they also compile patch notes and submit those to one member of your team (this would be a great job for mintchip) who would then turn each teams individual patch notes into a complete list of upcoming changes.

Remember in dust our SP choices are permanent and with CCP leaving it's player base deep in the dark about upcoming changes it makes it very hard for us to develop our personal road map for our characters. Please be more forth coming with information about future changes that the dev team already knows is coming and stop with the elite club of only telling the CPM members about your plans. This will also provide the community a chance to provide feedback on the upcoming patch and point out any mistakes before they happen (Remember when CCP forgot they removed the 10% damage buff from weaponry and because of that double nerfed the HMG? Or when you decided to buff the HP on LAVs?).

Please communicate with us. This community is full of people who are experience beta testers, who are able to provide excellent feedback and is an absolutly FREE resource for CCP to tap into. Help us help you.

I thought the whole point of holding back information was because you are not sure what will and what won't make it in and you don't want to say something is in and then something happen and its not. But if 1.3 is content locked, and the mini-update next week is content locked, why is information still being held back. Whats in will be in.

Please don't tell me you are holding it back for marketing reasons, as to release it at just the right time to create the right amount of hype that won't die down too early. Come on now, the current market for Dust 514 isn't that large, and the only people who would hear this announcement are people who frequent these forums. Try as we may, we're not going anywhere.

and that part is true, I could read the 1.3 notes today and by the time deployment rolls around quite a few things could get canceled or pulled. Has little to do with marketing and more with quality of product then setting expectations.

Small stuff. You should be a bit more concerned about what is coming out next week though.

After reading a lot of posts I'm fairly confident that lots of this forum will complain no matter what, in any and all circumstances. Not too sure that incentivizes the Devs to want to increase their communication level.

So they should take their ball and go home because people are mean to them?

They took it upon themselves to promise improvements to communication and they can either deliver or have this become another failure for people to point out when describing this game and its developer.

In the end I guess I feel there's more forum raging and pouting as opposed to constructive criticism. Just my opinion.

That's true, possibly more true of GD than the whole forum but generally, sure.

If your original meaning was about the overall quality of feedback then you're right, it isn't great. That's why communication from the devs is important. It stops rumours, helps fight unfounded rage and sensationalized topics and gives people with something worth saying a reason to believe the devs actually care about their input. It's part of the job and dealing with fallout from communication is part of that.

Clear info, rather than having to scrape data from video stills, etc, would improve community feedback overall. If they don't like the raging that goes with it so be it, it's better than the rage coming from unadvertised changes and lack of communication.

[Request] For player owned MCC in 1.3

there will be a blog covering the changes before they happen.

Hmm options for this update:

start of PvE?

Intro of cheaper Geno pacs?

anything else?
