CPM is pushing for an HP boost for DS band aid fix to hold until 1.5 changes, CCP or CPM will inform you soon as that gets greenlit.

As for 1.4 they're in the final stages of development testing so lots of cramming to do before they start setting internally what is expected to be in stone.

thanks Iron, I assume that is temporal from your wording and considering the meta we are using its good its not permanent since it would have to be changed then when more vehicle tech arrives.

Correct 1.5 is going to be fairly significant changes to vehicles overall in terms of controls, purpose, and role on the battlefield and how they interact with infantry and vehicles on both their own side and hostiles. It would not surprise me if some players quit (the role or more) vehicles when 1.5 hits because of the changes. However the plans for 1.5 vehicles is far too early to know exactly what is going on but I been prodding CCP Wolfman to give you guys a quick preview before work for 1.5 vehicles starts up too much and gets beyond the point of player feedback.

1.4 is primarily infantry focused and so far from what I am seeing there are some good things in that patch so far and that is in context of alterations to current systems.

I welcome the prospect of reduced LAV numbers.

are the pilot suits on the radar

Oh god lol.

Vehicle updates in 1.5 will make vehicle players quit the role (which is quitting the game when you have 10m+ sp)?

Too good.

IWS said something about new controls. A an all round vehicler I say no thanks, especially for DS' the controls are perfect.

I welcome the prospect of CCP ******* up horribly again so I can get another respec and play the game properly by not spending a single SP for at least the next year.

Best way to play DUST is to not :/

I've steadily been losing faith in the game, with periodic bouts of hope being forced on me, but the whole Flaylock debacle is getting damn near close to the straw that breaks this camels back. And that's after my horrific experience with dropships at the start of Uprising, partly my stupidity and eagerness mixed with a healthy part of CCPs complete incompetence in regards to balance.

We all saw the flaylock for a brief moment before Uprising even launched, and most of us knew it would get out of hand, quickly. CPP ******* DESIGNED the weapon, programmed it, put it in the ******* game...and they were SURPRISED!?!?!

What does that say?

The thing is no matter what you change in a game will cause people to quit even though it's considered a massive win by the majority.

I have been in eve and dust 514 long enough to see the trend on both ends and that you cannot simply please everyone with changes for the better.

Give the DS double HP and no guns, then its a dropship as intended, and give SP for transported infanetry and for using the CRU .

I just hate getting laughed at when I said Dropships was my primary anti-tank weapon once upon a time.

That statement can still hold true to this day in any Ambush as long as you're fitted with a proto ADS. I've managed to take out a good amount of helpless tanks who couldn't red-line since it was an ambush.
