As far as I know there isn't any FPS that has a similar mechanism and something fresh to come back to without paying real money to get the update.

The character you create has a place in a bigger world and once it has it you don't want to give it up. Of course it means the game has to be there and the path for players has to be hard enough to be meaningful but not so hard that people give up.

Ohh and not forgetting the most important one ... as someone else has already touched on ... DUST is a persistent game ... there will NEVER be a DUST 2 or a DUST 515 ... there will only ever be DUST 514 ... and as someone mentioned your character will still be here when DUST begins it's second decade and T3 HAVs are roaming round with customizable slot loadouts and ewar setups and who knows what else, maybe even transformer style vehicles that can fly and drive and enter siege mode costing hundreds of million isk and 50 mil sp just to operate. DUST will persist while there are people who want more depth to their gaming than just shoot everything that moves ... and there are lots of those people waiting for it's foundations to set.

In fairness to CEOPyrex, his point about GTA5O has to do with the way they handle open worlds rather than other aspects of the game. He's suggesting that kind of change is what DUST 514 needs. There is an echo of that direction in the comments about commitment to the game, the nostalgia for Skirmish 1.0 and wanting to walk around on one's own planet. If CCP could engineer that with an eye to giving players more sense of place I believe it would be a big win and contribute significantly to DUST 514's success.

I especially like your first point about firing from the ground into space. I'd forgotten about that. It does depend on CCP designing a way to make DUST 514 relevant to EVE players and that has been elusive so far. Without that there won't be any ships up there to shoot or be shot by. With regard to different ways to play I'm less certain of the points you've made. CCP have emphasized that DUST 514 must stand on its own -- be viable without EVE. Given that, if manufacturing is introduced (or many of the other options you suggest) it would have to be in a way which, if eve was not there, would not disrupt DUST 514. That could mean allowing all those things to exist in DUST 514 or it might mean only allowing them to exist in EVE with NPC corps providing those services if EVE players don't step up. It might well be something else entirely. That being said, there are a lot of ways to play DUST 514 right now within the scope of an FPS with RPG elements. And as you point out that's one of the things players say they like best.

EVE has a big story and if CCP succeeds in showing how DUST 514 players can live in it in some immersive way it will be a big win. We've seen threads of this running though this whole discussion.
Vrain Matari ZionTCD 1047	Posted - 2013.10.07 20:29:00 - [48] - Quote In regards to the relevance of DUST to EVE, that is not a problem. There's a lot of pilots really hoping DUST isn't too relevant to EVE, tbh. In exactly the same way that a lot of us mercs are hoping that EVE doesn't become too relevant to DUST ;) This hasn't happened yet because CCP doesn't want it to happen yet. I applaud their priorities here and making the hard decisions required to establish a solid foundation for DUST and sticking with those decisions - 'eating their vergetables', some might call it.

Needless Sacermendor Red Fox Brigade 512	Posted - 2013.10.07 21:23:00 - [50] - Quote Yeah I agree ... a lot of this integration can't even be considered until DUST is in a stable position with very little imbalance and a solid PVE setup to generate it's own wealth and it's own stable player run economy ... it's like the 'set foundation' metaphor I used ... you can't build on wet concrete and if you try to start building bridges across to phase 1 you'll only be tearing chunks off that structure if your new building isn't stable. Yes some of it does depend on the 2 games being relevant to each other, the seeds for this have been sown with Eve pilots getting bonuses to structures orbiting planets controlled by their corp in PC ... second to that will be integration of contracts allowing Eve corps to contract DUST corps, or viceversa, to take control of planets on their behalf ... this will provide the incentive for the Eve corp to support the attack, while the defending corp, be it DUST or Eve, can hire pilots or mercs to help fend off the attack to maintain control for their, either Eve or DUST, bonuses. Hope that makes sense, there's too many possibilities I'm trying to include ... maybe a DUST corp owns a planet and is getting bonuses to clone count in neighbouring PC battles (for example) but an Eve corp wants to control this planet to bonus their moon harvesting nearby, so the DUST corp hires an Eve corp to defend from the attack in space and the Eve corp hires a DUST corp to launch the ground attack. But then (metagaming) the defending DUST corp pays a few billion isk to the hired attacking DUST corp not to complete their contract ... or the attacking Eve corp pays the hired defending Eve corp to warp away and void their contract ... AND in both cases ... they could double bluff taking the isk AND completing the contract, thus fulfilling their role as a true Mercenary corp or griefing Eve corp. But the bonuses need to be worthwhile, and the contracts need to be integrated, and PC needs to be opened New Eden wide ... then we have a worthwhile connection.

I haven't played DUST in ... let's see now ... about 2 weeks ! ... before that I hadn't played nearly as often as I used to. Funny that ... 2 weeks ago is about the time another game released ... what was it now !? I've played GTA V ... I bought it on release day ... I hadn't planned to, but I impulse bought it cos I liked GTA 3 ... 4 was utter rubbish but someone told me on release day 5 was more like 3 so I went n got it. I was already getting bored of my AV being unchallenging so I'd not been DUSTing so much n GTA V put an end to it. It made me laugh when day 1 people were losing cars and properties and there was no android app and the ios app didn't work at all while Rockstar were counting their billion profits, but hey, I enjoyed the offline game. Then the online started ... for a select few ... while the majority couldn't log in due to "a PlayStation Network server issue" "that was limiting the amount of possible concurrent users." ... yeah I'm sure it was an issue with the servers ... not an issue with how you were trying to use them ... I'm sure Sony jumped out of bed to sort that problem out for you !! It's all here on their website in the last 2 news pages. The latest one being a list of fixes ... temp characters overwriting main characters, money and property disappearing, removal of the autosave cos it was corrupting GTA V save files and "improving overall stability" ... lol, yet it still takes ages to load anything and still fails to connect and still doesn't show either of the characters I've created and played to level 5ish. You seriously think GTA V isn't a lobby shooter ... have you read ANY of this thread, or even watched the video in the OP ... perhaps you didn't understand the big words ... or maybe you got bored after the intro music ... but there's been a discussion here about the FACT that GTA V is just the same as a lobby game in that you are instanced with around 20 other players and in order to interact with others you have to leave one session and join another ... there's NOTHING different about that than joining a different battle in DUST ... they've just taken the 'lobby list' and hidden it away in the menu / online / players submenu. If you can't handle a proper, reasoned, adult argument then I can understand your boredom and reluctance to continue ... I used to do the same when I was immature, thankfully I grew out of it like most people do when you start big school.
Magnus Amadeuss DUST University Ivy League 88	Posted - 2013.10.07 22:10:00 - [52] - Quote First I want to thank CEOPyrex for the video series he does, it is awesome and I do watch them from time to time. You can tell he genuinely loves Dust and the whole EVE universe, and that he wants to see the game succeed. I think he is right in that CCP does need something more for Dust, I just think he latched on to the GTA model because it is the most recent "new" thing. I do hope that CCP does realize that content is king, and that not all content is created equally. Some content, such as player run economies, will add to your game forever because they allow emergent gameplay. Other content, such as suits and UI's, will add some to the game but not indefinitely. Of course this is not to say that new items and UI's are not important because of course they are. I just hope that CCP realizes the need to also heavily focus on incorporating ways for us to create gameplay in a PERSISTANT way.

This puts it up against CoD or Halo, not sansbox games like Just Case, GTA, Saints Row, Prototype, etcetcetc. If anything, I think the PvE will set it apart as long as it's deeper than just a Horde mode. Hopefully it'll be infiltration and extermination of drone-held territory. At least until Warframe comes out of beta. Even then, Warframe isn't a PvP game, where DUST will have PvP and PvE. Not to say Warframe doesn't have PvP, but it is and shall always remain a joke.

Its a great idea and I know CCP has committed to it even though they say it won't be real soon. To your point about sandbox games -- some players in this thread have talked about being able to roam around the territories they occupy. And if it goes that way, interaction between players in other-than-combat situations could add more of a sandbox element. Also, sandbox doesn't have to mean open world investigation in the style of Skyrim -- it could me less constrained exploration of other game elements like combinations of skills or fitting variation. Still, your point is well taken. It doesn't seem to be evolving in the direction of GTAO's kind of sandbox.
