Give us full line ups of rifles, I can entertain myself in these maps. Fix core mechanics. I.E, rework aiming again, fix HD even more. Give us a legit reason to fight in PC. I'd be fine to wait a bit for more content from there. Current PC is the beta for PC, moulden heath is worthless in the grand scheme of things, future PC will most likely require you to have decent eve backing. Of course to ignorant dusters none of what I just put will make any sense but you will all see, for instance most dust alliances can simply be disbanded from space via corporate takeovers, even Eon but again in the grand scheme of things its not even worth it. Plus I'm sure the guys really running Eon have the required empire skills to contest a corporate takeover.

Komodo Jones Chaotik Serenity 133	Posted - 2013.09.26 03:02:00 - [34] - Quote Would you like some cheese with that WHINE? Kidding, good list! People will stick around with this game for 2 reasons, if things are done right, and because it might someday affect EVE and EVE players wanna be ready. As much as the game's audience drops there will still BE an audience. Yes games are coming out that may divert peoples' attention (metal gear! dark souls 2! and yeah Call of Doodie and gta too) but this will be a test of peoples' patience, the game will stick around because it can and because some players will still play, maybe not as many or as often but they will still be there racking up SP waiting for the game to get better. When the game finally does become "finished", that means when all of the stuff that was advertised is actually out, and when the game can be less brutal and more inviting to new players, then maybe it can cater to an audience of over 2000. I personally thing this game's first mistake was that it tried to compete, first of all because FPS games suck (though it's probably too late to be 3rd person) but because the west for some reason is infatuated with them, but only the well known titles. The game is different sure but not enough to make headlines yet. Seems like one thing we have plenty of is time though. 100% of my friends agree that this game would be better as a 3rd person shooter and it would probably attract a bigger crowd than it is now simply because it feels better and less clunky. Don't know if that's a possibility but it's something to consider.

Interns work for experience and college credits it would allow you to expand your teams for very little money think about it
TOXICkitten Dem Durrty Boyz Public Disorder. 1	Posted - 2013.09.26 03:52:00 - [36] - Quote about 2 of 15 friends that I played with in beta still play..... It is a dying game. I've tried to get other friends involved. But the academy is so short. They get out and get raped instantly, they lose intrest in a day or so and go back to COD.
TechMechMeds Swamp Marines Kleenex Inc. 253	Posted - 2013.09.26 04:41:00 - [37] - Quote Been here since beta, always kept in mind the 10 year roadmap stated before open beta, CBA with anymore fotm games, dust is the only/last fps I will play intensively and the only reason I'd get a ps4. For everything else there's a pc
Demel Derpovsky Ikomari-Onu Enforcement Caldari State 1	Posted - 2013.09.26 04:55:00 - [38] - Quote Dirks Macker wrote: Most of the OP seems to already being worked on. They definitely need new game modes. An easy one would be a take on the classic push/pull domination where you are fighting to secure a highway, power lines, etc... How about rescue/abduction? But I can't see them allowing player trading until you have to make your gear from minerals. Someone with a dropsuit bpo can just make countless items and trade them to everybody they see. Even if it is took just 1-2 of each EVE mineral, a market value would be applied and just giving away everything for free would be costly. Not sure if this has been said before, but Corps could pay a role in this. Hear this out from a Dust 514 rper...just feel the flow of the following: A corporation's war barge looms over a tanned planet. Soldiers conversation between themselves in the armory, high-ranking officials plan the attack and reassure Eve company holders that victory over this instillation is already at hand. The Objective is simple, take over a mine. Underneath the barren sands and infertile soil, hides a lush bounty of minerals, unfortunately being prospected by an apposing Eve corporation, and a Dust corporation has been hired to beat them to setting up shop and drilling first! The assault is on, the defending team must protect the prospectors and push the enemy off the area, while the attacking team has to push the defending team off the area, set up shop, and start drilling to win. Capture, kill, sabotage, and scavenge all you want, the only thing that matters is control over that tanned planet....

Regardless, the self-entitled whiners will keep demanding all of it and more. Thanks for responding, Mintchip. You didn't need to touch a thread like this, but you tried anyway. The funny thing is, CCP doesn't really set the timeframe, though they'd like you to think they do. It's the players who set the timeframe by deciding to spend money. Keep that in mind MintChip while you're gently admonishing this fellow for giving your company advice that it sorely needs.

Dust has none of this appeal currently IMHO. Also, plenty of new games have fresh and interesting ideas. It's unfortunate that currently, Dust isn't one of them.

CCP is constantly having to stop and adjust everything you all complain about to keep you happy. To them they problem feel they can't win for losing! This game is not COD , we are not equal. adjust your game play and stop saying things are op... maybe the guy behind the weapon is just good.

Thats already 4 years of development thats quit some time. And even the more recent trailers like the Gathering the Forces Trailer keep promising things that aren't in the game. So to us that keep waiting for the game showed in the trailers for more than one, two or more years it seems a bit strange that every trailer is promising things (that we want) that we don't get . Your hardcore playerbase has been very patient and surprisingly loyal all in all but don't expect this to last forever...

Pretty please with a cherry or two on top and some chocolate syrup MintChip? I don't spend a lot of time in Dust anymore due to many of the same concerns that OP has. Check my record for all toons on this account and you will see when I started and my recent partial break from Dust. The OP has added a few more reasons than what I have for a reduction in my time here but in effect he has capture what many players are wanting. The 10 year roadmap that CCP announced for Dust is a really long time for a game to be developing. I understand that as the game evolves it will become better but there is a point in time where you need to start including some promised features. As a closed beta player I appreciate the time CCP is taking to release the changes to make sure things work properly but feel the weapons we now have are finely balanced. Now we need to start testing the planned stuff. This doesn't feel, to me like an unreasonable request, but instead a request to allow us to move forward in the development process. I don't want to have to wait to trade items with people for year 8 or 10 like what happened with the Drake and Missile Turret animations or year 5-7 for Walking in Quarters (it was supposed to be walking in stations).

But information on what is actually happening would be much better for everyone. Not eta's because they are stupid and just cause drama because people can't understand that ETA = ESTIMATED. But for example, a dedicated path notes area, more CCP streams for dust so we can see what is going on there, information and sharing ideas for new game modes and content. Don't promise, just share ideas, the more you interact with the remaining community this way, the more confident they will get and they are much more likely to stay. I love DUST so much but I am so scared for whenever the PS4 launches. Especially with a ton of stores doing a "Trade in your PS3 for money off your PS4" offer. I will be here till the end, I have no doubt but others will need convincing.

Let's hear about them then. From my time with MMOs back then, I can tell you that each thing I listed was a differentiator for Eve. This is what Dust needs, but doesn't have - any real differentiators. Incidentally, your UO quote is simply an exploit, not a game feature. Try again please. The fact remains, even though Eve had very little content on launch, like Dust, Eve was unique and players responded to that uniqueness with loyalty. Dust isn't unique and players are responding to that by leaving.

Dust still isn't. Nothing in any game has been unique for a long timev except the storylines which all follow genres so even then nothing new there for a long time. Wrong, Eve had a lot going for it (other than content) on day 1: - Single shard economy - Player driven economy - Hard Sci-Fi theme - Significantly customizable ships - Vast space - Skill based rather than level based progression - Time based and offline skilling All of these were pretty fresh for an MMO. Dust has none of this appeal currently IMHO. Also, plenty of new games have fresh and interesting ideas. It's unfortunate that currently, Dust isn't one of them. Wrong there are loads of MMOs just like eve that are older but not sci fi, the economies were not player driven but you had trades and the market to sell and manipulate prices. Let's hear about them then. From my time with MMOs back then, I can tell you that each thing I listed was a differentiator for Eve. This is what Dust needs, but doesn't have - any real differentiators. Incidentally, your UO quote is simply an exploit, not a game feature. Try again please.

I'll make it real easy for you, an fps is an fps regardless, an mmo is an mmo regardless, a beat em up is a beat em up regardless, mortal kombat and street fighter are very different how the combos and specials work but they are both the same, so how exactly is dust supposed to be unique? Its an fps, have you played bf 2142? Dust clearly took some pointers from that. Until we have virtual reality nothing will be unique, and even then the virtual reality games will be limited to genres and mechanics we already have.
