Can a Fanfest attendee please ask this question for me:
Hello CCP,
Arena Battles, which include game modes like Free-For-All, Capture The Flag and King of the Hill, have been talked about since the beginning. And in relation to this, e-sports and in game betting. So my question is first, how high is this on the priority list and second, can you make it higher?
Please and thank you.
~Maximus Stryker
It would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I respectfully and wholeheartedly could not disagree with you more.
A) This is a concept that makes dust exciting.
B) This would literally add so much content in a single swoop, it could literally be the biggest content dump in a single release. The sheer variety and customization that that this could produce would be enormous and could very much liven up the game.
I'm sorry but I don't see how anyone can think this would not be absolutely great for the the game and especially the community that supports it.
I hope the CPM and CCP will reconsider the importance of this concept.
Thanks you.
~Max

Thanks in advance. Those are available in Call of Duty and Battlefield. If you want those modes, stop trying to ruin Dust and go back to those two games.
Unfortunately, you made a bad assumption, it is not my intent to ruin Dust, contrary to what you may believe.
I understand those game modes are available in other games, thanks for pointing out the obvious thought 
- I do not want to take out the depth that Dust provides, I love that aspect of this game...a lot actually. Keep pubs, keep Faction Warfare, keep PC, create nullsec, add PVE, open markets adn manufacturing, continue with an awesome EVE-DUST linking of the universe. I am simply suggesting adding on top of it. If you don't want to play FFA or CTF, don't. You can exist the same exact way you are now and not be the wiser. For those that like that sort of thing, they have the option to play it. For those that occasionally like it, they can occasionally play it. No harm no foul.
- I am not sure if you hang out much in the War Room or participate in 'Competitive' conversations about this game but there is a lot of talk about 'competitive' dust and the old corp battle system and planet fight club this and Dirt nap league that. That is small potatoes and obsolete once you establish battle arenas/e-sports. The the large e-peen wagging, smack talking kiddies can settle their scores in a proper manner.
Lastly, and to ensure you are understanding me, I do not think adding Battle Arenas sooner rather than later will ruin dust, I actually think it will enhance it, though I do appreciate your well thought out reply, I know it took you awhile to think of all that

Thank you. ~Max The point is that they want to get the core gameplay mechanics down before they start adding superficial things like capture the flag.
Understood and I appreciate you sharing CCP's point of view.
Are most of the core gameplay mechanics not already in the game? Maybe I do not understand what all falls under the umbrella of "Core Gameplay Mechanics"
I am not sure where CCP categorizes and ranks PVE/drones and PC 2.0 but I would argue that Battle Arenas belong right beside them in high importance.

Again, I respectfully and wholeheartedly could not disagree more.
1) New game modes
2) New maps/sockets
3) Additional ranking systems
4) E-sports and betting/gambling
5) Arena Battles would help keep the tryhards entertained
6) A place for new players to practice and get used to game mechanics before getting stompted in pubs
7) A place for all those who complain about getting "protostomped" to play in matches that restrict gear, weapons and suits
8) An excellent place for community building and User Generated Content
9) A place to test gear, weapons and suits
10) The only real way to ensure "competitive matches"
Yeah, not much content though.
If done right, Arena Battles could be the greatest and best asset to DUST 514, in my opinion of course.

I don't trust people that work for CCP, nothing against you personally. CCP has had to many empty promises. Just to clear this up - Jenza does not "work for" CCP and we're certainly not twisting her arm to reply to these threads. She writes of her own volition and I agree with everything she's written here so far.
Did anyone else go  when they read this?
Really disappointing to me as I feel this would help this game and the community so much.

I recommend you watch the DUST Keynote on Friday before jumping to any conclusions as there should be some clarification for you there.

Even after the MMO aspect is improved upon there's still the matter of public ( and private ) contracts from EvE players which would be AWESOME.
Then they could add silly little arena game modes The fact you guys think they are "silly little arena game modes" shows how little connection or knowledge you have of FPS history or what dedicated FPS players will and want to play. I think you're misunderstanding. It's not that we don't know what dedicated FPS players want to play. It's that we just don't care. Dedicated FPS players have new games coming out every quarter that will cater to all the usual interests. DUST doesn't need to join the crowd.
I agree that what I love about DUST the most is it uniqueness and depth. I am simply suggesting that Arena Battles will ADD to the depth and uniqueness of DUST, not detract from it.
Imagine (if you will) that DUST 514 has:
- Simple turn on and play a public contract to earn some ISK & SP
- Ability for players to sit down, invest some time and facilitate organizing for public contracts
- Simple turn on and play for a Faction of your choice
- Ability for players to sit down, invest some time and facilitate organizing for a particular Faction
- Simple turn on and play a corporate or alliance contract
- Ability for players to sit down, invest some time and facilitate organizing for their corporation or alliance
AND
- Simple turn on and play a few quick "meaningless" games
- Simple turn on and play competitive FFA, CTF or KotH
- Ability for players to sit down, invest some time and facilitate competitive tournaments (in game)
- Ability for community building and betting on matches and e-sports
- Ability to create custom matches that restrict gear (weapons, suits, equipment, vehicles, etc.)
All I am suggesting is that we add content, not take any away.

I've been telling people for a long time on here that what we're showing at Fanfest this year is something we're physically working on - as in, it's currently running and being developed - not "speculative" things for the future. But, development takes time and things don't turn around overnight too. I hope you can understand that and give CCP Rouge and the rest of us time to make this newer vision a reality. I really can't wait until post-Keynote tomorrow so that I can speak to you guys a little bit more openly. Until then, I'll have to try to chill on my excitement so I can get some sleep. Seriously, I know you guys feel like promises haven't been delivered in the past. But I have nothing that makes me feel that way about the present and the work being done in Shanghai. Catch you tomorrow.
awesome.
As much as it may seem I am whining about Battle Arenas (because I think it would be great for the game) I do enjoy DUST and the effort you all put in. Just keep progressing forward and things will get better.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow's presentations.
