post it here also as it's getting hammered with fw requests https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=topics&f=730

6v6 lolno

Why not with all your thoughtfull feedback I can't tell your reasoning.. you realize smaller matches could benefit smaller corps smaller corps can grow into larger corps..

If all you read was 6v6 let me put a disclaimer 6v6 could be select districts or even beginning systems then 16v16 at a certain percentage once say a system gets to 80% - 90%..

Edit: The fact is a lot of people have asked for 6v6 or 8v8 this would also benefit larger corps that don't always have the numbers on for large battles. ..

So it takes how many battles to get to 16v16?

Nope

You dont see it in EVE even with 2man corps in FW so why should it be this for DUST corps?

Lol look up small complexes you see 1v1's all the time in FW in EVE, medium complexes you can see tons of 4v4 with a fleet of 3 we have went 3v6 on mediums many of times to control a complex which influences the system similar to Dust's districts. ..

so tell me again how you don't see it in EVE ?

Way to completely miss the point

You have a 2man corp in FW but they dont restrict the plexes to 2v2 only because of a 2man corp

It could be a 30vs36 in a small plex

So why should we restrict the matches in DUST to 6v6 because of your small corp? when clearly the game can hold 16v16

Right and you completely missed my original point about the community being small and 6v6 only being an option, who says 16v16 can't be an option as well... just like i stated above...



#Readingcomprehension

Include more Star Map - Factional Warfare use. It's already pretty useful but useless at the same time. It does not help us make useful decisions, because we can't make any. So I guess return the ability to join FW from Starmap.

Also this one is a wild idea, beware.

Right now in battlefinder we can queue certain factions. However on top of that, what if we could have Region/Star filter so we deploy to a specific place of our choosing. So say I want to kick the Caldari out of Verge Vendor, I could select it on the list and queue up a match. Of course a little longer of deployment or deployed late into a game, which happens now anyways.

But it would be interesting, so you could have little "watch squads" who can attack / protect certain locations.

Also some people play only the FW side of dust and I think that I'm going to shift to FW for the most part as well. It would be nice to have a summary of what's going on in the Regions without having to zoom in on it a whole lot. Like a list of all the active contracts being played by certain faction.

Attacker: Amarr Empire
Defender: Minmatar Republic
Metropolis > Bloop > Blap System > Blap III > District 4

Like so. Again, a lot of work but kind of nice.

Full team deployment and location specific deployment is on our radar but we still have unanswered technical and game design questions on how to make that work properly. The CPM regularly bring this up though and it is something we will get on to, it is just not bundled with the set of changes FoxFour has proposed in his recent FW threads.

However 6v6 is not a good idea. The balance of a planet hangs in Six people. Dear god talk about the 1%. Smaller battles would just mean that the stomps are harder. Not a whole lot resources to work with. By entering a vehicle you lost 16.5% of your infantry. No please, just team deploy. Smaller battles will allow larger corps to control more at once. Trust me it wouldn't work in favor of small corps. Even as an Option it's bad, and who controls what battle becomes 6v6?

I'm just trying to throw something out there similar to complexes of EVE.

Except FW complexs restrict hull size, a form of gear restriction, and not how many players can get inside. Your 6v6 or 8v8 places an arbitrary limit on the number of players who can participate (the current 16v16 is due to lag issues and such), which is why people aren't liking it.

Having more numbers is a valid tactic, and the only limit on how many you can deploy should be a software/hardware issue, and not a "this many, because I say so."

I understand that but being a rather small community and the fact that gladiator style matches have been teased in the past a lot of people have asked for smaller 6v6 or 8v8 matches and this kind of complex/district system would be a good place to start imo and I don't see how doing so is restricting anything as long as a 16v16 option/districtsis are still available.. ?

And If you had read my edit I added an option for gear restrictions which could still work for smaller matches and definitely benefit smaller or newer corps and give even new players a feeling of worth..
