No waiting a few years for a -game- is to be expected. Waiting for game features, not so much. Especially since the game has been worked on since 2009; we're coming up on 5 years of development here. What is there to show? 3 (lackluster) game modes and about half the suits and vehicles. Not even all 4 MCCs.

We had a decent skirmish mode for a while there that was a really good step in the direction of the massive conquest game modes we'd been promised, but for some reason that got stripped down.

At least the maps are getting better...

What is the third game mode? There is Ambush and Skirmish.

Edit: Also IIRC dust has been in development since 2006 so coming up on 8 years of development.

There was Skirmish 1.0 - and it was basically the one mode worth playing because it accurately copied "Rush" gameplay from the Battlefield series. Also, I'm sure we'll get it back in time, just like we'll see PvE some time in the future.

Oh I know what Skirmish 1.0 was and the post I was replying to seems like it is saying right now we have 3 game modes which we do not currently have.

To be fair, there's been a lot of good changes in that past 2 weeks that should be the main reason anyone comes back, not 100 suits. As for PVE, unfortunately it sounds like they're still putting it off.

Zeylon Rho Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 2497	Posted - 2013.09.27 14:57:00 - [9] - Quote Last week had this in weekly feedback: Quote: [FEEDBACK/SUGGESTION] Agent Missions - ideas and mechanics - https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=97468&find=unread Status: Some decent ideas, but we wouldn't do any of this till we start PvE. Mintchip said this at the beginning of July: Quote: PVE is coming, but not any time super soon - we've been working on and adding different features and re-prioritized some pretty essential fixes to the game. What I can say is that we've done some work on it, just that it's been paused for now, and I will let you know as soon as it's cooking again! :) CCP Mintchip // Twitter - @CCP_Mintchip Dust 514 Community Rep Soxfour said this a month before that, which implies that team "paused" perhaps?: Quote: I hear there are other teams working on PvE game modes... Game Designer // Team True Grit http://twitter.com/regnerba And way back in April, Eterne said this: Quote: Adding PvE content that is actually fun and engaging is a large undertaking and is something we currently do not have an exact timetable on. It is something we are looking at adding in the future, however, it is not part of Uprising. EVE Online/DUST 514 Community Representative GÇ+ EVE Illuminati GÇ+ Fiction Adept @CCP_Eterne GÇ+ @EVE_LiveEvents If you want to roll forward from April, the official line looks like: 1. It's complicated, no exact time-table, but not Uprising. 2. Some team is working on it... 3. We're putting that on hold while we work on other things, and we'll tell you when we start working on it again. Conclusion: Since they haven't said they've started back up on it, and they said they'd tell us when they did --- no one is working on PvE right now. There was no timetable even when they were working on it, but it's currently a "never" thing as long as no one is working on it.

Rho found a few little devbits from April-july, but damn, you'd think the feature would be more complete if they ADVERTISED WITH IT. It would be like Left For Dead releasing without Co-Op, or Halo releasing without a story mode.

Yes, possibly this seems like it would be a good idea, however if we do it I can't see it being a very high priority. Will probably have to wait until we redo the leaderboards. When ? ... i mean the "redo the leaderboards" thing, because it really needs some "redoing". Not any time in the immediate future, need core gameplay to be better first. I can't hear the word "core gameplay" anymore. I mean: I can play the game. I can run around. I can shoot people. Most of the stuff is at least not that stronger than other stuff. Of course there are some balancing issues but damn. I can live with that for the time being. Why are they working on the core gameplay so hard? I mean the stuff they add like new maps, and weapons and even stuff like corp roles and squad finder is fine. They are really nice features actually. But it's not something where I would say "Damn! That's a killer feature that will make Dust more popular." Can't they wait with stuff like that until we have something more to do in the game?

And no, 100 suits won't bring me back. My personal estimates have been and still are right around Christmas (December) But it seems likely that it might be put further off then that. I mean, they had the game mode working months and months ago it just wasn't very polished or fleshed out at the time they said this. So who knows really. 1.5 is meh, 1.6 is new weapons and vehicle rebalance (which would be right after October) so who knows what 1.7 is going to be like.

And this is just a few weeks old info. You guys sound like they never got around to it. Actually they had it working in-house and the devs where playing it on the internal test server in the Spring. Your confusion probably comes from the fact that they stopped working on it to focus on core game mechanics, but when they do get back to it, they will be starting with a functioning prototype. They shelved PVE because the feedback from the players was that getting the core game mechanics working was the highest priority. Recently I have seen a lot less complaints about core game mechanics and a lot more threads asking for PVE. So, times they are a changing. I expect CCP will start working on PVE again soon. Probably after the Vehicle/AV balance changes are finalized.
Jade Dragonis GRIM MARCH 170	Posted - 2013.09.27 18:07:00 - [20] - Quote When Uprising came out the road map was up to 1.7 (coming december) mention has only been made up to then. Nothing said at all about january. So expansion with the new year. Still waiting for a dev to deny it. Which they temd to do if info is off. Devs welcome to deny it though. Lol.

Zeylon Rho Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 2509	Posted - 2013.09.27 20:14:00 - [28] - Quote Team Deathmatch and Control Points are the only game modes. Interestingly, games like Bioshock 2 (mostly singleplayer) had more game modes. As did Perfect Dark Zero (also mostly singleplayer), etc. ... Actually it's kinda bizarre when you think about it, to have a game with no single-player or PvE/co-op content that only has two gameplay modes. Even really early multiplayer-only games like Quake 3 had more than 2 game modes back in 1999, and Quake 3 let you play with bots if you really wanted to anyway.

I was being gracious and giving them domination as a third game mode from skirmish because in addition to there being only one control point, you can't spawn on it like in skirmish.
