Dear players,



As part of the initiative to keep you all better informed, we will be doing weekly updates on gameplay issues that are reported here on the forums. There will also be a separate post that will track bugs reported by players under the bugs/technical issue forum as well on a weekly basis.



Below are some of the gameplay issues that the dev team had discussion on earlier this week and planned actions.



Anti-Vehicle hotfix on 31st of August and HAV imbalance thread(s)

A lot of negative feedback came from the hotfix we deployed addressing Anti-Vehicle nerfs (AV grenades 25% less damage, forge guns 25% less damage, 400m lock-on swarm launcher) as tanks were already very hard to eliminate since currently they are swiss army knife of DUST that doesnGÇÖt have to sacrifice anything in order to do very good damage and tank infinitely at the same time.



Planned resolutions: We will make adjustments to the HAVs on various fronts: better module balancing, reduced movement speed, cool down timer on remote reps will also be increased.

- Undoing/reducing the recent AV nerf

- We are also working on other anti-vehicle items such as EMP weapons, chaff, and webifiers.

- We are also looking at increasing WP rewards for killing vehicles.



Other suggestions and requests

[SUGGESTION] Award WP for Mobile CRU use in Vehicles

- This feature is being planned

[SUGGESTION] Judging distance on a minimap

- This feature is being planned

[SUGGESTION] Nanite injector - Bleed out timer

- The gamedesign team will need time to figure out what is the best approach to implement this feature



ThatGÇÖs all for this week, but we will have more to report back next week so bookmark this page!

The following topics were discussed by the dev team this week regarding gameplay issues in the beta:



Casual vs. Hardcore players in DUST 514



Player concern on how will casual players be able to keep up with hardcore players who might spend more time playing and gaining an advantage in SP and ISK.



Planned resolutions

- A revamped reward system will narrow the gap between casual and hardcore players

- Match Making system (introduced soon) will help put players into fair matches

- Dropsuit HP will be more consistant to avoid some becoming overpowered



That's it for this week, the dev team has been working very hard to finish new features and fixes for the next upcoming patch, so expect more updates on the DUST 514 beta soon.

We're back from our holidays and below is the list of topics discussed by the dev team this week.



Massive strafing speed nerf debate

Update: We will be making a dev post on the forums soon to explain this change in further detail.



WP Farming and Precision Strikes

Update: We've already made some changes on how the repairing mechanism works, and all logistical rewards will encourage players to be more in the midst of battle.

Update: There's confusion about the laser rifle's effective range, we will address by improving the item description in the future, but know this: the laser rifle is very lethal at long range. The dev team will be making improvements to the nova knife to make it more useful in the near future.



[FEEDBACK] SP Cap/Diminishing returns change

Update: The current plan is to change the SP cap from a weekly limit to a daily limit as an interim fix until we can properly re-examine this feature. We are also looking at the possibility of making the SP cap a "soft" limit rather than a "hard" limit so players can still earn a little SP even after hitting the cap.



[FEATURE REQUEST] Squad list on HUD

Update: This is being planned in future updates.



[FEEDBACK] Swarm Launchers and their tracking/speed

Update: A fix for this should be coming in the next patch/update.

The following topics were discussed by the dev team this week regarding gameplay issues in the beta:



Tournament - Brackets

Update: We will be adding more variety to the way the teams are paired up in future tournaments.



Double SP Week

Update: The hotfix deployment for double SP week did not go as smoothly as we planned due numerous deployments on Sisi and TQ. This caused players who have already hit their SP cap prior to last Thursday (Nov 1st) to not receive an increase in SP cap as planned. The SP cap will be reset after today's DT (Tuesday, Nov 6th) and the SP cap will be increased so players can gain double SP as planned. We will improve this process in the future to avoid conflicting deployment dates.



[FEEDBACK/ISSUE] Dropships and Missiles imbalance

Update: A number of tweaks and improvements to missiles have been made and are planned for deployment in the next beta update/hotfixes. Some of the changes include improvements to missile tracking and speed stats, more tuning for the small and large missile turrets. Countermeasures are also planned for future updates.



[FEEDBACK] Laser rifle tweaks

Update: More testing will be done on the laser rifle to solve the range issue and tuning the overheat mechanism.



[REQUEST] Quick draw skill

Update: The dev team will put this into a list of features to be added in future updates.



[REQUEST] Bringing back restocking options from E3 build

Update: The dev team will work on fixing this in future updates.

[REQUEST] GÇ£Infantry-onlyGÇ¥ (infantry-friendly) maps

Update: We have a few maps that are pro-infantry and will be doing internal testing before deploying them during the beta.



[FEEDBACK] SP Gains - too quick?

Update: We will continue to monitor player progression during the beta. Our current stance is 2-3 weeks of heavy playing to gain access to one prototype class of items is reasonably long.

[REQUEST/IDEAS] Active dropsuit modules ("superpowers")

[FEEDBACK] Gameplay: gunplay, movement, and ADS

Update: In our next update there are a number of improvements to the controls in and out of ADS including new sensitivity tuning options. We will be doing more work on this and making improvements to the aim assist system in future updates.
