What happens if you break the NDA?
Do you get banned?
Prosecuted?
Hunted down, made a fool of, then have hundreds of embarrassing photos plastered all over the interwebs?

Its a pity they are not providing valuable feedback. If you guys tell me they are then what - CCP doesn't listen?

"I know guys! Great idea - Lets remove free LAV`s and not focus on the actual problem of collision damage and or hit point levels!"
* Yeaaaaa whoohooo cheers all round! * /sarcasm

Rule one of the NDA is you don't talk about the NDA.

Anyway, I think the second point is pretty much true if you talk about something and it will make CCP cost money in the process.

They announced a vehicle balance pass and revamped collision damage for 1.4

They are listening, just need to know where to look =)

(hence if you run fast enough you can actually commit suicide by slamming into a wall really hard.

Can we hear from Blam!? A simple "Hi" will be enough for me!

The CPM we have now are from EVE and not DUST 514.
We have no representation as far as DUST 514.

Dust 514 needs representation to obtain balance.

Wheres the Dust 514 ASSAULT CPM?
Nothing.

Wheres the Dust 514 SCOUT CPM?
Nothing.

Wheres the Dust 514 LOGISTICS CPM?
Nothing.

Wheres the Dust 514 HEAVY CPM?
me.

Wheres the Dust 514 DROPSHIP CPM?
Nothing.

Wheres the Dust 514 TANK CPM?
Nothing.

Wheres the Dust 514 LAV CPM?
Nothing.






Anywho shakes head and fondly looks at PS4 pre-order as another week is passed by on the way to November.
Continues playing Fallout 3.

I talk to the CPM most days of the week, and read their (very) long discussions on all manner of dust related topics from weapon balance to high level meta gaming.

It really is quite valuable to have access to invested players to throw ideas off and sanity check stuff before releasing it out to a wider audience. They also do bother the community team and devs an awful lot about getting you guys more information so you should definitely thank them for that. It's a tough gig because they do a bunch of work which other players never get to see and appreciate.

Any word on this, then?

My wallet is still completely closed to you, until this is addressed. As a matter of principle, I won't pay for products that are overpriced for some people just because of the country they happen to live in (and not, for example, because of a relevant tax).

Edit: I should point out (in case you check my history) that I have made purchases, but that has stopped completely since I decided I should return to my principles.

Your source on this info? I was under the impression that the CPM was chosen for their dust specific play and feedback over the course of the closed beta, save Hans who I would say in addition was a good choice for his CSM experience.

Hey IWS when can I aim again?

Yay, more posts without sources.

Care to post a source for that tidbit?

You realize that that's largely affected by the cut that Sony takes differing based on region and currency, right?

Pay for linkedin check out CCP know blams real name, Check employment.

Go confirm, I already know.

I do, actually, realise that it's because of Sony's greed, or perhaps a relic from when the currency difference was much higher. If you check out the threads on this topic (the one linked, and another linked from it), you will realise that I realise these things.

It is not, however, for any good or legitimate reason. It is not, for example, the product of current differing currency values, or local taxes, or anything like that. Ideally, Sony should charge us in USD if it's so important that they get precisely a particular USD amount from the sale.

I do also realise that CCP *might* not have the power to change Sony's pricing. Fine. That doesn't mean CCP can't do other things. If CCP wants me to spend more money on Dust, then they will need to look into this. As it stands, I don't like the insult of being told, "Hey, you're an Aussie? Here you go, pay anywhere from 50% to 100% more than anyone else has to".

Some companies do this on Steam, and I won't buy their games. Valve manages to sell its games for the same price to Aussies as the rest of the world, but certain notable examples do not. For example, the current football manager is $40 for aussies, and $20 for Americans/Canadians. When it first came out that was $40 for the US, and $80 for aussies! That is, $80 USD, not in AUD. So it's not even a currency thing. The amount that they receive is a full 100% more of the price in USD.

So thankyou for your comment, but I'm not sure you understand the situation.

I'm just curious who's idea it was to break the suits to fix an issue which could have been better done in other ways?

Having played since Closed Beta, Playing scout roles, Logi roles, Heavy and assault, the Cal Logi was actually balanced until 1.3 roles out.

While it has been choice for Logiassaults, there are easier ways to fix that issue or to bring it better in line with it's role. Instead 2 suits were further broken. Wouldn't it make more sense to fix broken suits than to break fixed ones?

I realize some of the "fix" was done to curb the QQ fest done in forums, but catering to those who have never filled the role, nor know what they are talking about hurts those of us who play multiple roles and have the experience.

If this is something I need to get on IRC to talk to someone about, then so be it, but I honestly think while this will please some, this will displease just as many. 1.3 is a bad idea.

As for the australian price hike I agree its a culmination of, culture, government, and cultivation.

http://www.kotaku.com.au/2010/11/why-do-videogames-cost-so-much/ digs into better than I could.

Also to further who to question is that CCP sets the prices but the PSN and associates are responsible for distribution of the good including pricing elsewhere.

Well I wouldn't know who to blame in the AZ overpricing I just wished the games where fairer priced for you guys down under. Bunch of nicefolks and also plenty of nice women that are Blonde, tall and real curvy really last time I visited.

Not 1.3

1.4 is looking very good but no promises, the system should be finished testing.
