* We'll be looking at the plasma cannon along with the other AV weapons as part of the vehicle rework. Can't really touch one without touching the other. So not in 1.4 but soon.

* For 1.4 we've replaced the ironsights on the laser rifle with a red dot sight similar to the one on the scrambler rifle. I want to see if this changes its performance, it does make it far easier to use and the weapon can still deal a ton of damage.

* Yes we are doing some updates to the weapon skills. Will give more info on them at a later date.

* The Thukker is a contact nade

Have you changed the ability to slew the weapon while ADS so it isn't ridiculously slow and hard to aim? As much as I hate the iron sights the slow turning while ADS is the *real* killer.

Yes, we'll be increasing the ADS speed for the laser as well.

Yo Wolfy,

I was wondering if there was a change to bullet dispersion well on move aka Hip Firing and strafing. I'm noticing more dispersion

Secondly, I have been talking to the AR user crowd and its a general consensus that AR Sharpshooter hardly does anything and is barely noticeable.

Anyways, I am going to do some more testing, but I just wondering if there was a change.

Dear Devs,

Thanks for all the juicy info on this thread. Sorry I got heated about the Cal Logi changes. That hit close to home. I know yall are working hard--probably 80 hour weeks--to improve and flesh out the game as quickly as possible. I know more people are being hired to work on DUST so I hope you'll have a bigger team full of very talented people sharing the load to make the game uber-awesome.

I and others on the forums get frustrated and vent here and bemoan the plight of DUST, but that's because we care about the game. I love this game and I'm done venting hot air about my grievances. There's no point. It's like a man complaining about his wife lol! You already married her dude! Get over it! Well I'm not near that committed to DUST but you feel me. I and many others believe in DUST and in what yall are trying to do. i might not play all the time but I'll stick around and be part of the active player base and keep buying my occasional boosters. I hope and believe that there are enough of us to keep the game going as it incubates into greatness.

Say what you will about Destiny, The Division, and all the next gen stuff. DUST isn't as fleshed out as those games will be at release, but its core is at least as solid as those games and the process going on right now through which yall are evolving the game shows that no other FPS has the potential to grow and become something truly special as much as DUST. The vision is solid and the evidence is there of CCP's commitment. It can't happen fast enough for the base but I have a felling that you devs feel the same way. So we're all in the same boat and I look forward to the journey.

P.S. - When it's ready could you re-release DUST on PS4 with next gen graphics and a major marketing push? Just dreamin. ;)

Best of luck to yall and thanks for your hard work!

Any chance that we can get the invalid fitting removed on vehicles if there is no turret equipped?

Would really like to be able fly a dropship without weapons and use it solely as a troop transport.

... any chance for "Doom" mode on the HMG getting an ADS buff?

If I may interject dear sir, while the iron sights are indeed a hindrance to the laser rifle I believe you will find that the largest problem, even with heating issues solved via proper dropsuit usage, is that it is a weapon which requires you to aim down the sights and track your target for an extended period of time while they slowly die.

The reason this is an issue is due to the current aiming system and the slow tracking speed while aiming down the sights of the laser rifle. The typical scenario involves you aiming, firing, cooking your opponent for half a second and then watching them panic and run off in a random direction. At this point you attempt to track them, but due to the slow speed of ADS, are typically unable to re-acquire them before you either overheat or they find cover.

did a quick test. It does mess it up. Looks like you'll have to wait a bit longer for that I'm afraid.

Beast (yes im a fan boy ) lol.

CCP have stated that the 1.4 patch will be a vehicle balancing patch.

*ENRAGES* I was gonna take it easy on your noob customers. After you attempting to kill my suit this is a act of WAR! I will enter heavy negotiations and will attempt to talk TP into wiping out DUST514 THIS GAME IS OVER!!! No mercy will be activated for the attempt of destroying my Cal Logi suit!!!!

YES YES YES YES

Ok then?

I actually put DOOM mode in as a joke but we all liked it so it stayed :-) By buff do you mean speed?

Than all of you die
