DUST Search - Thoughts on merging Dom and Acq

Sicerly Yaw wrote:

I've had dom turned off since the day before yesterday, I didn't even notice, I've been getting into plenty of ambush, acquisition, and even skirms

see the thing is, it's not hard to get into matches, just stop being so damn picky and play the game

I know it may not be amusing playing the same game mode over and over but if you get tired of pubs then go into FW

if you want skirms you can always get into FW on one side or the other fairly easily perhaps not all sides but at least one of the warring factions will need fresh blood, as far as pubs go none of the game modes need to be combined, instead the players playing them need to start giving a damn about winning or at least having fun and trying their best at whatever it is that they are doing

dont be lazy and sit in the redline trying to snipe unless you know you have an actual objective, such as counter sniping, destroying hard to reach links, distracting the enemy team, or actually defending a point

it doesn't matter what game mode you are in or what you are trying to do there will always be ways to assist your team, even when I am running around in troll fits I still have equipment to help out my team so I am not completely useless, I know for a lot of solo players the mentality is to only care about yourself and this is reinforced by many players that encourage that mindset telling new players not to worry about winning and only worry about getting WP and kills while staying alive

if you are having a hard time and cant do anything yourself then help those on your team that can, if your team is incompetent enhance their competence by making up for what they lack, if there is no links carry some, if they need reps then rep them, if you are low on clones use a needle, team cant seem to stay engaged? carry an active scanner, team being pushed back because the other team has more presence? go in the enemy lines and take out their links and hack CRU's keep doing this if its keeping them distracted, enemy sniper being an annoyance? take that ***** out, tanks distracting your team? blow that ***** up, be useful to your team no matter what game mode and don't do what most people try to do and run around by yourself if you don't know what you are doing

Talos Vagheitan Ancient Exiles. 2	Posted - 2015.08.07 23:30:00 - [1] - Quote Hear me out on this. Despite being the worst game mode it is by far the most popular. It's the most popular because it has the shortest wait time because it is the most popular because it has the shortest wait time... and so on. Something has to break the cycle. Merging the Q with Acquisition could help the overall pub situation. Simply call the Q "Single Point" and the two variants "Mobile" and "stationary". It would help with players who want to play Acq but can't find games, and would also mean less stomps, because Dom is the easiest mode to stomp in. CPM Platform

Having two modes that are almost the same in separate queues would be as silly as having Ambush and Ambush OMS separated. In both cases, the choice between minor differences are not worth dividing the playerbase. @OP +1 Gû¦Supreme emperor god-kingpÇÉKAGEH¦PSHIpÇæ// Lord of threads // Forum altGû+**

There are a lot of times that the domination campers that accidentally queued acq don't have to leave their camping spot when the point moves. Domination doesn't get much credit for destroying competitive play in Dust but I think it's a major culprit. Lazy solo play that really took off when scouts got their buff. **** domination in its bunghole.

Make one acquisition Dom that must be hacked repeatedly and one mobile point? And how does this stop people from canceling que when they get mobile? (Or the mode they can't stomp iow) Stomps happen because high sp, skill and unlimited isk combined with 8+ people coordinating on coms. 8 people running full proto or officer gear all round on coms will not be beat outside of pc. I tested it this week running full officer suits solo .... Running into groups of basic/militia it was like I was invincible With teamwork and the right people you can just ignore the objective and just clone them. Acquisition...hell if they never hack the point they can just keep killing you till everyone leaves.

Kierkegaard Soren Eridani Light Horse Battalion 901	Posted - 2015.08.08 23:22:00 - [16] - Quote Use skirmish maps -so that you by default you have three to five null cannons on the field- and at the beginning of the game, have two of them go live and active, but unhacked. The first team to gain control of a null offlines the other null. It must be defended for a set amount of time, at which point its ammo/power reserves run out and it offlines. Two more unhacked nulls go active, and the process repeats itself until a MCC is destroyed or a team is cloned. Dynamic King of the Hill. Enjoy. Dedicated Commando.

Good thing ratt suit has two equipment slots or I would have ran out of ammo that round. Ratt suit, galags, kalantes, core nade, double reps and damage, allo, and an x3. Nigh invincible. Just look out for large rails and forge guns... Accounting for all my deaths... except a few times it was 5+ on one during the experiment. Meta won't do anything to stop squads on coms.

Vell0cet OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 3	Posted - 2015.08.09 16:35:00 - [22] - Quote I'd rather they remove dom completely. Acquisition is basically a more interesting version of dom. If, by some miracle, we saw a significant spike in players, then sure, bring it back. CCP would have to award mission credit for hacking acquisition nodes though. Best PvE idea ever!
