Bumping for visibility. Will be doing so throughout today and tomorrow then I'll leave it o7

And I thank you for your support :D We must all work together for this! Show CCP that we are a unified voice when it comes to corporation battles.

Lmao, what I originally did was have a title like "SHOCKING QUOTE FROM CCP" Because that'll get the Devs running over here in their boxers. I didn't, however, want to ruin the image of what I want to achieve! x)

The sad truth right here. However it does not change my views.

Well, we'll have to disagree here then. See that inequality statement in my sig down there? I'm totally in favor of throwing any or every FPS convention out of the window if it means bringing integration with Eve Online. If you want a run-of-the-mill FPS (I don't mean moderate quality, I mean normal ideas), go over yonder to another game. That's my opinion. If that's how you get fun, then that's what you should do. Eve Online isn't for everyone, and I see no reason why Eve Dust514 should be any different. If all I wanted was sci-fi fps, I'd continue playing Halo.

"FPS" is at most a genre, as little as merely a mechanical and user interface approach. (Extra Credits had a video where they criticize the way we think about game genres, but I can't remember which it was.) Eve Online integration isn't just a 'great feature'. CCP has said from the very beginning they want to create an in-depth, holistic science fiction universe. That's CCP's goal. Eve Online integration with Eve DUST514 isn't just a neat idea they are marketing, it's their foundation. If that integration is weak right now (which I'm not debating, it's horri-bad,) then that's what they need to be working on. Fundamental game mechanics(bugs, aim assist, balance, etc) and Eve Online integration should be their top to priorities if they are going to deliver on their vision.

I don't think I understand "not 1 min to shoot 1 player". Could you rephrase that statement?
By "just go all out and have some fun" do you mean 'without consequences beyond the cost of our lost suits."?

I can't really comment on most of those things. My preferred playstyle of FPSs is the campaign, so I'm not one to judge whether TTK is too low or too high. I really don't know much of anything about aim assist. Etc. FPSs make less than 10% of my game purchases. Clearly, they need to have all the basic bugs and elements of an FPS worked out. I can clearly see why some folks still consider Eve DUST to be in beta, despite it's official stance.

My involvement in this thread is really to get an understanding of what place corp battles have in the game design, and what's the driving force behind the request.

+1 for corp battles
+1 for ISK free no reward corp battles with the only reward being the corp standings
and
+1 for Eve/Dust deeper integration

never said anything about not losing ISK when you die...
there are still pubs and FW to earn some gear
but the corp battles would be only for standings aka rated matches in other games

No scanners? That's kinda what this game is about. But, you could get rid of the mini map and scans then show up as bright red carrots on your screen still. No AA is fine too.

I'd love to fight most of the 1337 shooters without AA... Would be a good practice for me...

Agreed +1

I would enjoy this more than random pubs all the time. The inconsistencies are the biggest issue with pubs.

Corp battles will eliminate the need for PFC. We all know how we at DL feel about PFC.

Really? You can't win both PFC and Pubs. Where will the low tier players win? Corp battles are for players not as committed as PC players are. And if PC becomes less popular due to corp battles, doesn't that reflect what the community wants?
