I haven't seen an improvement honestly. The only thing different is that the flaylock doesn't do damage to things that it should because yall double nerfed it (a common problem with.... you people).

Originally, we envisioned and tested a chat system where a few leaders would communicate and coordinate their team. This is how EVE players use voice, and we expected this behavior from DUST players as well. But what we found in the chat channels was just short of total chaos. Everyone was discussing strategy, battlefield intelligence, and things less savory, often all at the same time. On top of this, the number of people in the chat channels simultaneously was much larger than we originally tested for.

no, they brought the flaylock down to where it should be rather than an extremely O.P. weapon that you need no skill to learn. I, being a sniper, have noticed that i can see actual enimies moving at 400-450 meters rather than there bodies not being animated. if you are gonna hate on a game then keep your mouth shut and just stop playing, cuz this is a great game that is still in the works. it has only been in open beta for 3 months or so. it took eve 10 years to get to where it is now. it just takes time.

I've been seeing the same issues withgraphic and technical performance, and also I've been seeing new issues. I hope that CCP sees them too so they can try to solve them.

Voice comms are getting a lot of love these days. Currently it's a lot of backend work to speed it up and stabilize the connection, but we will be focusing on quality improvements in the future. There's def still issues.
These improvements take time since we have to coordinate with vivox (our voice provider) who are doing some great work. We've identified all the problem areas and have a really good plan for the future. After that we can have a good look at how to structure voice chat to take into account roles and situations (some good ideas in this thread).

Anyway, I'm glad to hear that people can see this improvement in game. Actually it was one of a few behind the scenes improvements.

Good job <3

Give me a shout if you need live players to test your comms with in your Shanghai office and I'll be happy to pop over to game with CCP

On a separate but related note, could you implement a little speech bubble pop up of whoever is talking? This makes it easier to identify the speaker.

Since implementation of this, I keep getting a notification that my voice comms AREN'T working. Glad that improvements are being made to PC, yet it seems I'm locked out of all voice chat now. Thoughts?

You live in China? I might move there. You can play Dust from there?

Yes, living in Shanghai and internet is good. A bit congested during peak hours 7pm-1am in high density areas like apartment complexes but otherwise I get 10MB connection which bumps up to 20MB in the wee hours of the morning.

Slight lag behind eu and us, but it's bearable

Outside of Shanghai in major cities is all good. Only problem really, is congestion due to great firewall, but that's relatively easy to get around

This is good news, I hope my nano injector works properly today, I need to save lifes today. The turret issue on the LAV, I like to have my blaster set in a certain direction, I would love to drive my LAV today, jump on my blaster and mow some people down, I'm a one man team in my LAV, driver and gunner ,I waste precious seconds trying to turn my turret because once I set my blaster a certain way it never stays that way. CCP I need to be combat effective, my controller and I are one, my mercenary has to respond quickly when I'm pressing buttons. The controls have to be fluent, my reflexes and hands work fast, when I press that O button to revive a down comrade that needs to happen quick every kill is a split second decision and every death is a split second wasted. Thanks CCP for addressing the problems . Awesome news today.

The long range smoothness is awesome. Following a jeep in a drop ship (while hopefully an enemy gunner is shooting back at you) is top notch now. Can we get a mode with a moving objective? Something like skirmish, but each point must be taken in sequence. Convoy rush is a good thing.

Ps. Defrag your PS3, peeps. Google it. It really improves performance.
