That we won't get any new suits, or any new weapons before the PS4 comes out.
We've heard about the AA HAV, the pilot suit, and some fixes incoming. Not even a murmur about anything heavy related. So, over a year and a half of 1 race in closed beta > open beta > launch and still no new suit.
I've made a number of threads on this issue, and this is my last. CCP made it very clear they don't care about heavies. They won't even entertain the idea of placeholders cuz it will cost them money! Copy Pasting an Amarr suit will cost people money ladies and gents!
Also the fact that they won't be able to distinguish the race being used cuz of color (lol). Like it matters. When I see a soldier, how does my tactics change when I approach him if it's a Minmitar or a Caldari? In reality it doesn't! Either I have flux nades, or I don't! Either I have teammates near me, or I don't!
The race of soldiers has no bearing on tactics being used in DUST! I approach everyone the same. Why does it matter that people know the race of the heavy being used? Would people's tactics change towards a heavy? No! Either they have flux nades, or they don't! Heavies will get treated the same way they do now regardless of what race they are, so that excuse about colors separating different races holds no water.
Also, does CCP think adding a touch of yellow make logi players more visible?... it doesn't. Logis look just like assault players in the heat of battle.
It's a poor excuse, and another way of saying "Look guys, you're a minority. We don't really have time to make another suit for you when the majority of players got what they want. HTFU maybe?"
Just saying, placeholders will give people a reason to play. As of right now, I don't care to hit my cap. I have no reason to use boosters, I have no reason to even log into DUST. My role is restricted to one race, one suit, and I'm sick of using that suit and it's drawbacks. I'm sick of using the HMG and its weaknesses.
Give heavies something new, or this little minority group will be extinct soon enough.

Just try to make the most out of the Amarr heavy.
Wonder why CCP didn't say to the Assault players "Just try to make the most out of the Caldari suit"... and then proceed to not give them anything. Wonder how that would have gone down.
Or not have Mass drivers, Laser rifles, scrambler rifles, sniper rifles... just give them 2 types of assault rifles and 1 suit. Wonder how well that would have played off. |

CCP has shown allot of things... I stopped caring about their pipedreams and started to care about the reality of the situation. |

i won't say they're pointless, but it's something that doesn't interest me. My interests lies in my role's lack of choice. |

And they act like its a HUGE deal to get them up too. I've seen devs work for weeks or months to get a specific dev blog up there, like it takes them incredible effort to write a few lazy ass paragraphs for the handful of people in this community who are actually interested.
They should either stop doing dev blogs completely as its apparently a major drain on their ability to actually develop, or learn to do them properly which is by making them what they are... a BLOG. Blogs are not meant to be forged with careful precision in the fires of Mt. Doom over the course of a month, they are supposed to be an offhand thing you just get out there and if someone gives a damn then great.
lol
Tbh, a blog about their definite roadmap would be cool. A roadmap they actually follow. It would be nice to know when I can expect my class to have something new. It would be nice to know when I'll have a reason to play again.
The devs take time to write some of these blogs, and anything not related to PC, i just skim through. No offense to the teams that write up these things, but they don't interest me. Someone who just wants to shoot people in the face. Someone who just wants his role to have a choice in the direction they go. |

If it is just one artist modeling this you will understand why it is taking so long. It looks like months of work to create, revise, create, revise, approve, finalize just the art asset alone. I'm sure the slot layout is done, and once the artwork is done you will have them. edit: http://tonywork.cghub.com/images/ found a bunch of dust stuff done by this guy, Some really good stuff on there by a talented artist.
good for him...
Doesn't really do anything or say anything about when people gonna get suits. |

Yea I don't know why IWS say it's rumor. That thread where he said so himself was a pretty big thread. Nothing I said here is rumor.
If he's commenting on the title of the thread... even then, I put "looks official" which leaves it open for discussion, and since this is the general discussion area, it's encouraged to talk about it. Maybe a dev passes through?... yea i have my doubts.
And the only CPM reply was to say I'm "spreading rumors"...smh. |
