say it with me CCP, TEAM DEPLOYS.

every thread, and every issue you will face in the coming month is simply because you do not give us the option to team deploy in FW.

it's not complicated it's not fancy, it's just how it is. why does PC work with FF, it's because we pick who will be participating on our side, we don't bring the goons into our pc matches because they would AWOX us, you needed to put kick abilities in so CEO's could remove problem AWOXERS this will be no different.

just let us a deploy as a team and you won't have nearly as many headaches next month.

I agree that team deploy would fix a lot of the whining on the forums, but it needs to be applied to not just PC and FW, but also to public matches. Otherwise corps will still abuse Q-syncing in public matches and that's not fair to the other players in public matches to not have that option as well.

Question: I don't have "friends" how does this help me?

Why call it a MMO then?

CCP should just drop the MMO part and just make a FPS.

You don't have to be social to exist amongst others

Don't get me wrong here.

I am not saying that lone wolfing should be look down on.
But if CCP ever want to get out of this Lobby FPS bubble they are under with this game they are going to have to start looking at the much larger picture here.

Catering to the lone wolfs in a MMO is not the proper approach, IMO.

CCP will just have to figure out a way to allow lone wolfers into FW matches along with the team deploy.

Yeah it's pretty obvious we need team deploy and the CPM have been very vocal about this feature as well. It was originally planned to get done with the FW changes but had to get pushed for 2 reasons:

1. It's actually a lot of work, we need to re-architect a bunch of the squad system to support larger groupings.
2. Matchmaking is still having balance issues and team deploy will make this significantly worse. We need to fix matchmaking first.

I still can't say exactly when it will get done but know that we share the sentiment on how important it is. (Same goes for player market). For the time being, we hope the FW changes will liven things up a bit.

Thanks for your patience.

If you really want support for that, then stop calling it by the wrong name. There can't be any such thing as "district" select as that is way too specific. Instead the best you can hope for is solar system select, but even that may be too specific in the EVE universe. Instead what you want to propose is a CONSTELLATION SELECT mechanism. Then your EVE pilot would only hav to go like 6 jumps or less and still get there in a reasonable amount of time (assuming no enemies get in the way).

So to help those DUST players that don't understand:

District (every planet can have from 6 to 24 of these on them)
Planet (every solar system has between 6 to 14 of these)
Solar System (every constellation has between 6 to 10 of these)
Constellation (each region has some number of these)
Region (each empire, NPC faction, Prirate faction, or Player controlled alliance controls any number of these).
EVE Universe...

So you get the idea that it's a pretty freaking huge game universe DUST is only active in the empire controlled part of it for public matches and only one Region as far as PC is concerned. All the rest is still "unexplored" as far as DUST is concerned.

Molden Heath (the one region currently open for PC conquest) holds 6 constellations, 38 solar systems, 339 planets... However they only use 18 of the planets in that region (I'm assuming for environmental reasons as only so many are within atmospheric conditions to support battles) and of those 18 planets there are 245 districts. AND THAT'S ONLY for the PC battles. the empire controlled public matches span WAY more regions, constellations, solar systems, planets, and districts.

If you want a very good idea of what this huge universe is really like, then try out this link:

But bottom line don't ask for district select... Instead ask for constellation select.

Team-Deploy would be a big middle finger to whatever work they're trying to do to fix the weak match-making going on. Seriously...

Imagine if AE or OH or whoever were to constantly run in ENTIRE TEAMS. :I They're already beastly in single squads. Don't rush it, it's not needed right now if it's not going to help the game.

As for the player market? >_> That's a tough cookie to crack, imo. You gotta make sure it works well because if not it'll have issues that would require months to fix, months that could be used to further other things such as the EVE side connection or the racial suits or whatever.

if done right AE would always be against another full team.

this would mean the single lone guys would never have to face these teams.

a full team might be better equipped to actually fight them

could always have a vote kick thing like some TF2 servers have. If someone is being a jerk and enough people agree they are a jerk vote to have them kicked and have it ban them from that match for 10 minutes.

2 Good pointdo Squads in 2 types "Squad" 6-man or "Team" 16-Man.

MAG had a team deploy system that worked with public matches. It was fine.

The fear of teams in pubs shouldn't be a factor that delays the development of this vital feature. If anything, it will cause more players to gravitate towards better corps, as well as force corps to join alliances and form coalitions. Team deploy doesn't mean it has to be restricted to being a corp deploy system. It should operate somewhat like squad finder in that it allows you to change settings so you can invite people from outside your corp as well. Of course, it would be a dream to consistently be able to deploy a corp-based team into battle. As a former MAG player, I can tell you that it's incredibly fun and great for clan/corp morale.

ideally if teams face teams, then squads + randoms will face squads + randoms.
