Talos Vagheitan Ancient Exiles. 1	Posted - 2015.06.11 07:19:00 - [1] - Quote This is not an announcement I would like to see what the consensus is on the standpoints I have though, as well as find out if there are any official candidates who share these views. My Hypothetical Platform would look like this. POLISH If these game is preparing itself to be ported to modern technology, it needs to have a lot details ironed out. Clunky movement, invisible walls, glitchy camera shake, comms glitches, LAV BPO eploits and hour-long victory screens aren't acceptable in modern FPS'. All of this needs to be cleaned up ASAP. These are the kind of things new players will see immediately, and get turned off this game. NEW PLAYER EXPERIENCE The thing Dust has always been worst at. NPE needs to be fixed 3 years ago, but having said that, if we improve it now, it's something that Dust 2.0/Legion won't have to suffer from when it's finally launched. A new player needs to have fun immediately, and the curve needs to rise with the player. Here are just a few things Dust needs to offer the new player. - Skill based graduation: Players who perform very well will graduate in fewer battles. Players who perform badly will be kept in the academy for longer. - Auto Squad feature in Academy: Players should be forced into squads when they first learn the game. Talk to each other, learn together. - Much better tutorial system, explaining racial lore, and play styles upon character creation - Handful of non-tradeable boosters. Earn SP faster, and get noobs hooked on boosters. - Free optional respect upon graduation. - Meta cap in pub matches. - And more. Upon graduation, public contracts should only be available. This would be less overwhelming for noobs, and also keep brand newbs out of FW, which is a more competitive game type. After reaching rank 2 or 3, FW contracts would become available, giving the merc a sense of accomplishment BALANCE A game like this will never reach 100% perfect harmony with balance. Just too many variables to factor, but having said that, we can get close. I will say that I think every role and class should be equally viable on the battlefield depending on your playstyle. I would also be very careful not to over nerf/buff in response to imbalances. If you take something OP and make it UP, you're really in the same position you were before, as the weapon is still broken. I prefer small tweaks where possible, rather than drastic sweeping changes. ECONOMY One of the most unique features of Dust. Ties in with risk/reward. Besides pub contracts, where should the come from? The big money should come from PC, but not from passive generation. An active style generation would be much more balanced. What I envision would be for districts to generate a specific EVE resource (with a stockpile cap, similar to the warbarge). Once generated, the resource would have to be sold to an EVE pilot/corp. - Strengthen's EVE/Dust link - Balances district ISK generation - Allows for more diplomacy and meta game: Embargo's, blockades, Contracts etc. The old system of elite corps amassing billions, only ever using it to stomp new players out of the game in pub matches was terrible for the game. Land owning corps can still make money, but not passively, and with public meta caps, the money would be to fund the large scale PC wars I will describe below. !--CCP, PORT DUST 2.0 TO XB1 AND PS4 AS THE FIRST CROSS PLATFORM SHOOTER--!

Good question. I'm aware a CPM officially has no solid say in these areas, but still I think it's helpful for the community to know where any potential candidate stands on the hot topic issues. I would agree with that statement but I don't understand how 128v128 constitutes a realistic hot topic issue. PC itself is a hot topic issue. What I described is similar to how I'd like to see PC to function one day. To be honest tho, 128 vs 128 is probably work better in FW rather than PC. In FW, players should get the sense of a full-scale warfare. Wheres in PC 32 vs. 32 would probably be more than sufficient, as PC would be smaller, yet much more elite, specialized forces battling for key areas. Hypothetical CPM Platform

And I'd be happy to talk about why. Thanks for the response. I'm curious to hear your thoughts in more detail on this. My view is essentially that the most difficult game mode should reap the largest reward. Does that reward necessarily have to be ISK? That's for CCP and the community to decide. We all agree the old system of unlimited ISK generation was one of the worst things for this game. In theory I think it -could- work, if corps had to manually sell their clones to real buyers, and if stockpiled clones eventually expired. I believe this would add economic management to district ownership, and open doors to new kinds of gameplay : Trade agreements, blockades, embargoes etc. Official CPM Platform
