Of course CCP did not balance Dust 514 - because there is nothing to balance - each faction has it's typical features and they differ from each other, you have to live with those and adapt your play style to it - that is the whole point of having factions - just like all the ships in EVE have racial advantages and disadvantages, its the same game universe as EVE, so it has the same basic racial features. If you expect CCP to change this, then you can wait for an eternity and it will not have changed - just because these racial features are by design like this and not the game has to change after your liking, but you have to learn how to fit your gear to achieve the effects you want. This is a main part of EVE and so it is as well in Dust514.
I don't think you even played Dust 514. There's plenty to balance in an FPS with a competitive PVP focus, if you don't think there is, I'm pretty certain that you rarely, if at all play games with a PVP focus.
The reason balance was terrible in Dust was not because of factions. You could use the gear of any faction, so it was more about what you choose skill into. Balance was bad to sell boosters.
I play EVE since 2008, have 7 accounts and 11 characters - I guess I know a bit about the EVE universe - and Dust is placed into it. Come and play EVE to see how it is - you can get 14-30 days free trial. This is a really good balanced game, but it is not balanced in the way, you might expect it - every ship is different and made after racial features - nevertheless they are all very well balanced, as in there is no best ship or best gear - it depends on the role what is a good ship and fitting - try it. But it has a quite steep learning curve. You wont get that in a few weeks or months - it takes years.
Just because EVE might be balanced does not mean by extension Dust 514 is, the majority of Dust's development is outsoucred. They're different games with a completely different focus. If you think they're the same you'd be shocked to know of the tidal wave or butt-hurt and QQ coming from EVE players trying and failing at Dust because they were use to a hurry up and wait, point and click game.
Yes, both games are different, but the core mechanics of skill-driven game play is the same. You think that competitiveness means fairness - but that is not the idea of CCP about it - to compete does not mean it would have to be fair competition, it is not in EVE and not in Dust any fair - so you have to deal with it - EVE is PvP everywhere, as soon as you undock you are in PvP, and nothing will stop someone who wants to kill you from doing it - if fair or not - that is how it is - take it of leave it. This is by intention this way.
You are pretty much of completely incapable of not dodging, and just completely going off in another direction aren't you?
This thread is now about the harvesting of bananas and its effect on climate change.

Better.
But Casual PVEers are all knowing, they know whats best for the game. Even the parts they don't even play! (PVP)
(Very sarcastic comment)
Whereas Hardcore PvPers are all knowing, they know what's best for the game. Even the parts they don't even play?
No sarcasm, genuine question
Bruh PVPers don't talk about PVE cause they DON'T CARE
Then, devils advocate here, why should PVE only people care about PVP?
EXACTLY
I mean I like PVEers (cause I love making 1vX clips) but pls if you don't care about PVP stay out of it.
I like PVP'ers. I like PVP too. It needs some new stuff and objectives beyond zergs.
But the attitude of some of the PVP community here is awful.

Now I'm not cutting anyone down, this is just my opinion to the fact no game from the days of atari to now have been perfect.
I've seen alot of posts and hear alot of players say they spent lots of money on dlc's which have all been bugged, so who's the crazy one Zos for putting it out to soon or the players for continuing to buy bugged dlc's?

Never said I didn't understand why you're frustrated.
But behaving in such a manner will only make them ignore the PVP community further, and ignore all of the glaring problems.
condumitru wrote: »My context
Less of a PvPer than a PvEer here, played since beta but on/off due to various reasons, so I haven't reached endgame PvE or PvP yet.
We know PvP needs constant adjusting and balancing but the way I see the bigger issue here is coming from a context in which ppl think their feedback is meaningless. Now I've seen this in other places this apparent lack of communication and I think it's just their work policy (see VALVE), no dev in their right mind would ignore feedback.
Now considering the bigger picture from all the negative feedback (mind that this doesn't mean all these ppl have for your game is negativity) and what I've seen working in other cases I support an idea I've heard from others:
Proposal
More frequency in PTS changes, smaller changes (e.g. this month we're testing gap closer mechanics change or this month we're req feedback on X skill radius/buff). Small changes that play towards your bigger balance patches, not to be approved or rejected (cause we might not know your final full context and intent) but to see backend feedback and general feedback towards better implementation.
This would achieve 2 things mainly: better communication between community and dev team, and less space for errors or bug patching due to higher freq of control (e.g. 1/month rather than a long PTS session for a big update).
Downside of this implementation is more work involved in backend feedback collection and general feedback sorting among other things but I think it would be towards a better version of this game.
P.S. to @FENGRUSH I enjoy your passion and like your hair and imo you need to sell your ideas more like a politician, if you want to better convey your meaning to the majority, ergo a bigger chance to spread them wide - if you want that I mean;
if you just want to say w/e you want you're free to do so ofc and this doesn't apply. Between you and me, I think ZOS knows about said issues but have their own timetable set up already and incremental changes are slow to come, relative to your feedback.

Speak for yourself as I get annoyed every time they change up skills for "balance" as if it can ever truly be achieved...every skill shouldn't be the same any way, asking for the same damage/effect/etc. across the board is ridiculous.Moglijuana wrote: »

I don't know If It's even relevant to this discussion, but denying that pvp is the most complained about topic in mmo forums is delusional. This is known. Where do you think the majority of nerf and buff feedback comes from as well? I'll give you a hint, it's not pve.

This is delusional too as I have just scoured general forums and still see more PvE related topics on top of bug related topics on top of non game related topics.
Nerf this or nerf that comes from casual PvPers. It's up to you to form a cognitive decision to merit the seriousness of their call for a nerf. Some people get wasted by an ability and come straight to the forums to cry. Those aren't real PvPers. Those are whiners. PvE has the same class of players.
