There are a few things I consider necessary for DUST to have a future.
A handful of those things are very, VERY unlikely to be possible with the limitation of server side updates.
-PvE. Just a simple single-squad survival mode against Rogue Drones. It doesn't need to be any more than the most basic of setups, but it's something DUST needs if it's going to hold onto the bitter players we still have left.
-Custom controls. There are a few key options missing. LAVs have a semi-competent controller layout option, but that option is unavailable to HAVs, and the only option available is terrible. The controller layout options for normal operation are extremely limited and having custom remapping options would solve all the problems.
-Player Market. Even something as simple as adding a "give item" option so players can work out our own market system by one side giving an item and the other giving ISK. Actually adding a proper trading system would be better though. Even if you couldn't trade BPOs, it would be a step in the right direction.
Obviously, I know I don't have any real authority over the decisions being made, but I've been here since closed beta, and I've been waiting for a LOT of things to happen in DUST, many of which were totally reasonable and within the capabilities of the PS3 to deliver. The above requests are things I know the PS3 can handle, because they've been done - and in some cases done on a larger scale - in other games before DUST. |

It may be possible to be able to liquidate but that would likely require some gimmickry that really deserves a full UI overhaul (even if it is just one word or popup) to accommodate it. Overall it is something to explore with the changes we are restricted to as we move forward and maybe something we can add to the list of 'wants' if the gloves ever come off and we're allowed to take a look under the hood.
We don't WANT a functional NPC market.
We want a basic, kittened up semblance of a player market.
We want a "give item" option alongside "give money" so we can make something for ourselves that functions at least sort of like a player market.
No need for NPCs, no need for more than our current system of purchases. Just a single new option in one menu.
And (extremely limited) PvE. I know we're going to be told this is also "not feasible", but it SHOULD BE. There was NO valid reason why PvE never made it into DUST before it was "released". There is NO valid reason why it took this long to NOT be added. There will NEVER be a valid reason why there's no PvE in DUST. |
