And here is the core dilemma. What is DUST 514? MMORPG? MMOFPS? FPSRPG? RPGMMOFPS?

No one knows. Don't even think CCP does. What is the use of a roadmap if there is no destination?

It is meant to be a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing First Person Shooter.

Of course this is a work in progress. Currently it is not so Massive.

They are still working on refining the FPS combat mechanics, and the Role Playing component is limited because a lot of Racial variants of things like vehicles have not been added yet. Not to mention how limited communications are in the DUST with very poor in game mail, no web access to in game mail, and no private messaging on the forums. There is still a massive amount of work to be done.

I think of Dust as being like some complete dolt's multiclass Barbarian/Wizard/Rogue.

Shunned by all. Looked upon with horror by those who like to run proper Barbarians, Wizards and Rogues.

Barbarian/Wizard/Rogue will conquer all! It just takes 3 times longer to level up. Give it time.

There is no singular addition you could pitch that would bring in thousands. Edit: apart from maybe re-doing the EVE connectivity pitch and actually backing it up. Best you can angle for at this moment is stabilisation, aim for player retention if opening up an influx of new blood is not feasibly possible. I would go with a new (good) game mode which is more of a focused team effort. PvE is a close second even if it doesn't quite sit right with me.

They laugh now but when we're running Blur, Mirror Image, Improved Haste, Improved Invisibility, Tenser's Transformation and Rage... we will be the ones doing the laughing. Until someone casts True Seeing, then the fun times are over.
