Hello All,
I am relatively new to Dust 514 (started playing 6 months ago, and got sidelined, started playing again this weekend, and love it!), and I was wondering, are their any talks about adding trophies for the game? I feel like there are some rather awesome and unique things that are done in Dust 514, and it would be awesome if you had trophies displaying them. I can tell a friend it's cool to play, but sometimes the trophies speak louder than words. If I missed the discussion on trophies, please direct me in the right direction. |

I totally agree that a trophy notification popping up in the middle of a firefight would be an unwanted nuisance! As far as I know, you can moderate which games game give pop-up notifications and when, with the latest PS3 patch. I just think it would be cool to have something like the following (just examples):
Bronze - Bullseye: Get a headshot kill
Bronze - Marksman: Get 5 headshot kills (non-consecutive)
Bronze - Riot Control: Kill 2 units at the same time with a grenade
Bronze - Crowd Control: Kill 2 or more units within a minute
Silver - Longshot: Kill a unit more than 100 yards away
Silver - Sniper: Get 5 headshot kills in one match
Silver -Saboteur - Destroy a vehicle/construct with an infantry unit occupying it
Silver - Watchman - Counter hack a Null Cannon successfully
Gold - Eagle Eye - 10 matches with at least 3 headshot kills
Gold - Juggernaut - 10 matches where you have dealt and received at least 15,000 points of damage
Gold - Bulldozer - 10 matches where you have killed 3 or more players by running them over with a vehicle
Gold - Assassin - 10 matches where you have killed 5 or more players using melee
These are just examples of really cool things I've seen happen and think the player could receive recognition for. And I think it will make more people want to play if they saw a friend have a cool trophy like that listed. Just any idea! |

You don't sound like a jerk. It's a valid opinion. I mean, the trophies are like icing on a cake. If the cake isn't good, no amount of icing will save it. So sure, I'd rather them continue to tweak and improve the game than stop and start working on trophies.
It just might be a nice way to show off to some friends the fun they are missing. Just an idea. |

As for the meta, or purpose or reason for them in this game is a social aspect! On the consoles trophies are big social talking point, you get given the opportunity to compare trophies at every corner, its part of your gaming persona.
In dust trophies would work best as obscure and sometimes almost comical achievements, something to laugh or discuss! My examples would be . . .
Anger Management - Beat a heavy to death
How did that get up here? - Deploy a ground vehicle to a rooftop
Survivor - Completely run out of ammo (including hives)
Action Hero - Never be seen reloading an entire match (excludes sniper)
Excessive force - Apply an extra 300 dmg to a corpse before it hits the ground
Honour among thieves - Don't kill or be killed by a corp member on the other team
Mad Bomber - Kill 3 people with a cooking grenade suicide
Marksman - Get 100% Accuracy (Requires 10 kills, excludes aoe weapons)
Overkill - Get direct hit with a FG at less than 15m
Deniable Ops - Win a match with 0 kills 0 deaths 0 assists and at least 700 WP without ever being seen by the enemy!
Wow, those are awesome ideas! Those would definitely get some people talking. I wish PS3 made it easier to stream live gameplay so we can showcase some amazing shootouts on Twitch. Trophies would rock, but they should definitely tighten the game first. |

A little easy for golds don'tcha think? gold - redline kings: hold all the null cannons in a match for 5 consecutive minutes gold - tanktric: 3000 wp in a tank in one match gold - mile high club: 5280 wp in a dropship cumulative gold - side loader: 50 FG kills cumulative gold - soft shell: 500 kills in a scout suit gold - POD people: kill 10 people with one orbital in FW names and subjects should change but golds need to be hard to earn. names and subjects could change but I'd like to see things along these lines. all but mile high club have a common theme, a cookie to the man/women/DEV who guesses it.
Yeah, I'm with it. My ideas we just rudimentary... I am still a total n00b to this game, but I enjoy it so much I would love for more friends to play. Love your trophy ideas! |

I think this idea is pretty cool, think about the interesting scenarios you've been in.
I've taken out 3 people at once with a flaylock (post nerf) a couple double and triple kills, record of 14 consecutive kills without dying. I know the debs are too busy for this to be added to their plate, but I think the idea has merit.
Perhaps instead of instant trophies, get a list of achievements with statistics at the end of a match and award a some bonus SP?
Fantastic idea! |
