DUST Search - Just a daily reminder

CCP is running a skeleton crew and doing a awesome job developing, they say they can't play like they used to. We hardly see the CPMs (Game Masters?). So they need to baptize some veteran players to be in game GMs and drive some stories if they can't.

What they need to do is leverage the veteran player base to make a PVE style match where the best of the best play king of the hill against the randoms. Then it isn't farming, you are interacting still for the points, but there is a match to jump into at a moments notice to get isk and sp even if you are squadless.

My idea could lead into even having maybe a three team system (Dreaming big here), two thrown squads of 6 in against a holding squad of 10. Then squad finding to get all 6 slots filled would be crucial.

Off balanced teams is something CCP could use to add new game variants. 10 against 16 but the 10 team gets 5 minutes to dig in before the 16 loads. Things like that could be very easily established. I should put this into it's own thread.

Now ask me if that will stop me from asking for it. Go on. Ask me. They can make something like in Hawk3n. Just same map what we have for pubs with rogue drones or waves. That cant be that difficult, if we already saw video what was made. Basicaly like strike missions in destiny. Go to point/node with what we lost signal. Fix the node under atack of first wave of drones. Secure data from attack from second point/node. Destroy UBERDRONE for win. or Destroy Waves of rogue drones. That can be that difficult.

The objectives and AI doesn't have to be the most incredible experience ever. They just need to work and be different from PvP. I get so tired grinding out PvP matches day after day. Even if we get new gamemodes and maps it will still be PvP. You feel me? I know CCP Shanghai's team isn't huge, but is there anything usable from the previous team? I made mistake i meant IT CANT BE BIG PROBLEM. I just forgot T in cant, i want PvE too ;p "Sebiestor Hetzer"

I should put this into it's own thread. Awesome job? I think "ok" is better word to use. Game is still laggy since release. Flow is basicaly slugish. We still not have all racial vehicles/weapons/tech implemented and fully balanced. We still have invisible walls around construction, corners, fences. We still have glitch what stop you on soil instantly. And etc. etc. CCP did great job with ideas, lore (what is basicaly reason why im still here), skill trees but right now it seems like they just want to cover all that cons with skins, graphical adjustments and other (in my eyes) quite not important things for game. Polishing stuff is good, but the core must be complete and slick. If you do it otherwise that is just covering something "broken" with gold and that is nonsence. Do not get me wrong i like this game i like Lore i like community i like ideas. But the game is stuck in the dead point (we dont have any info about future development or implements) and even with some graphical improvements and few new maps it is starting to be somehow boring. I know CCP like to make good looking stuff (i played some time EvE), but many things missing. In EvE most of tech was already covered (wehicles/weapons etc.) but in dust we still have bugs and we still dont have racial parity around tech what should be CORE of game. Its all just neverending cycle. And im quite sad, because i know CCP can do it. Some talks about skeleton crew with money what they have from community seem really irelevant. Honestly for me is more important to have smalles amount of bugs and all racials with proper balance in game, than some graphical polishing and effects. Game is about gameplay, not about graphical impact. "Sebiestor Hetzer"

Isn't PvP better in every way? It is quite boring if you killing still same boykos on same maps and with same weapons for 3 years already. If there will be PvE even just like arena drone fights like we saw in "friend trailer" with group of friends in squad it will be better for fun. Right now we have still same thingy over and over, with Coop PvE we will be posibility to have some fun time. Not only that same grind/stomp thingy what we play 3years in row ;p "Sebiestor Hetzer"

It might not be a quick process, but revenue drives everything, and if they are seeing a significant return on their investment, they WILL bring out PvE. That might be a minute possibility, but if the money is there, I have yet to see a company turn down the ability to make more of it. They have money and they can do what they want. The big question is if they listen to what players want. And ever bigger question is, if they still want to make progress with dust. "Sebiestor Hetzer"

To me, Dust 514 is like a dying old man, sure we can buy him some nice clothes, make him look nice and younger, but he's still working with a little amount of time to live. I don't think they would put that kind of work into Dust at this stage. I would like it tho. I still think if CCP implement core like all racial parity technology and PvE it will works for game better than skins only. The potential is still here, all is just on CCP if they want to make DUST better. "Sebiestor Hetzer"
