actually make the game a MMO First Person Shooter.

or don't call it an FPS.

your suggestion makes the game NOT a FPS




they already is a Balance problem with Vehicles abusers earning more SP & ISK then the actually Skill needed to get Kills or Help the Objective being capped

how about eve radio in your vehicles just an idea!

Not sure how workable it is,and I wouldn't just use it in dust,but I really liked MAG's buff system when being close to a squad leader.

Now I wouldn't necessarily use buffs,but always wanted a system that rewarded you for tactical play.

A squad leader would have a zone around them that had "formation" indicators.If you were assault class,you would be asked to take a forward position,and you'd get a exp % increase based on the time you spent in formation.

Possibly the squad leader could set aggressive/defensive states on the fly.Set patrol zones,using the map screen,highlight objectives,putting spawn points,vehicle directions and calling for vehicle backup and so on.
These would be shared on the map between the squads and players.


The main idea is not strictly tactical,it's also a communication tool among players,and could help push the idea that were doing this for each other and not just getting our own exp,but helping each other gain exp.

I would like to see a larger name flash a little longer of the person who killed me . Or more important my opponent see my name flash large in their face once they died. Aren't all mercs a little vain..

Proximity chat with the enemy to allow a little taunting .

The ability to see out of the bottom of a drop ship. Or as Shaka_karm suggested. A red yellow green lite of where the pilot wants us to jump at. Or also suggested a button the pilot hits dropping us willing or not.. my favorite.

Improve the medic system:
Medics should be able to see the position/distance of downed teammates on the HUD. Downed players should be able to see the location/distance of nearby medic teammates on the HUD. The time in which the player can be on the ground bleeding out before death should be extended: Currently the medic system is almost useless because medics don't know where their downed teammates are, teammates can't know if medics are nearby so they get impatient, and they can't last long before being sent to the respawn screen. Revived players should choose when to get up to avoid being revived in a line of fire.

It sucks having to pick only one. There are so many things I think would improve the game. made a thread about it: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=24431&find=unread

Also, I kind of agree with Xaero 514's suggestion. The end game scoreboard/ISK/SP menu ends to quickly, and you're just sent back to your claustrophobic tiny cell. It would really be cool if you could hang out in the war room and talk after the battle, or better yet, when a party/group system is implemented, the party should be a nice awesome 3D lobby like the war room; this way when the battle ends, you can stay and chat with your party members in a nice environment similar to the war room.

how about a form of sticky grenades!
maybe magnetic grenades and explosives , mines etc etc !

I'd like to see something spectacular happen at the end of the match.

Currently if the MCC gets destroyed, you'll briefly see it exploding and we get kicked out to the results screen. I'd like to see a cinematic where you see it being destroyed in spectacular fashion, or see the other team deploy from it should it make it to the docking zone.

I would really like to see some form of indication for who has different tier armor. As of right now it seems crazy to me that it's near impossible to tell someone with militia gear apart from someone decked out in prototype gear. Having some form of small indication will help allow new people to not only avoid these players with clearly superior gear but it would also allow teams to to work together to focus on a single threatening target. In EVE you can at least get an idea of what you're up against before a fight and hopefully warp out of there before you get blasted, but in Dust a proto gun can kill a new player so fast they never have a chance to react.

This thread is a great start. How about making an entire section of the forum for Feedback and Requests?

Ok, I will play. One thing?

Different HUD for the different suit types.

For example, the logistics suit could have the ability to zoom out on the mini map and have icons for fallen comrades, etc.

And it would be great if the different HUDs really reflected their origins in feel, graphics, something like that.

Like a squad lounge!

The time you spend after death in the spawn selection screen should be deducted from the time needed to spawn on a CRU or drop uplink. If I spend 8 seconds in that screen, and select a CRU as my spawn point, I should only have to wait 2 seconds (meaning you wait 10 seconds total), and if that CRU becomes unavailable, you won't have to wait another 10 second when you pick another spawn point.
Other example (just in case someone doesn't get it): You've been in the spawn screen for 12 seconds, you select to spawn on a drop uplink that requires a 20 second wait, because you already waited 12 seconds, you only have to wait 8 more seconds (12seconds + 8 seconds = 20 seconds total). If 4 seconds passes after you selected the drop uplink as a spawn point and the drop uplink is destroyed (which cancels your spawn), if you choose another drop uplink with a 20 second wait time, you should only have to wait 4 seconds to spawn on the new drop uplinks (spent 12 seconds before picking a spawn point, 4 seconds waiting to spawn on the first drop uplink, this all totals to 16 seconds out of 20, leaving only 4 more seconds to wait). If after the first drop uplink was destroyed, you picked a CRU to spawn on (10 second time), you shouldn't have to wait at all to spawn since you already spent 16 seconds.

This idea has been suggested before by others besides me, but I noticed many a resistant to it, and I'm not sure why. I would appreciate it if someone who disagrees expresses their opinion about why this isn't wanted since I don't really know the argument against it.

colour blind options !

Possibility to take off helmets, and maybe those tight suits too, and change to something more comfortable when we're not on a battlefield.

Battlefield 3/Halo: Reach/Killzone 3 style executions when we knife an enemy from behind.

Okay, you want examples? Here is one. Instant deployment would be an abuseable feature. Deployment by Spawn points would be faster than walking by foot. People would kill themselves (and hurt their team score) to get to "Point A" faster by simply suiciding with a grenade. Defenders get infinite respawn supplies, while attackers have a limited set. Someone spawn-tripping back and forth to points could easily force the Attackers to loose, not to mention if there were 4-5 doing that all at the same time.

Here's another:
Say you're hacking an objective, and the enemy squad leader has people on standby in "spawn space" They could literally spawn in, the instant the hack started up, and kill the hacker before it completes. As well as "Sudden Swarming" could be performed at any point with instant spawns. I set a mobile CRU down in your base and within 4 seconds there are 7 people popping out of it?...

The whole purpose of the spawn timers is to make it more favorable to move around while Alive, and not waste spawn resources.

Others have suggested this but the ability to fist fight in the war barge before the match to get our juices flowing.

Also this would be great for pre match planning sessions so you can punch the dumb a** with a stupid idea...

can we have chest bumbs and air guitars tooo?? ok maybe thats to much but some kind of interaction in the war room would be nice.

*copy pasted from my feedback thread*

A tool that we can use to ask for ammo/medic etc. This could be very easily implemented. You even have an un-used button (Left D-pad) that would be perfect: hold down L. D-pad, wheel comes up, use the Right Stick to select a request, just as you would select a weapon. Then, an icon would appear over your head, indicating what you are asking for along with a voice (maybe?) The options would be:

-Need ammo!

-Need medic!

- Requesting vehicle pickup

-Need backup!

-Enter my vehicle

-Bail out!

or at least something to that extent.

Solid voicecom to support the teamwork needed in some of scenarios hinted by the devs.
- Meaning fast switch to speak to different channels (squad, team, corp, own)
- Indictor who is speaking
- Fade out of other players voices if squad/team leader speaks
- additional push to talk option
- possibility to create own voice com channels cross game (ie: key players from eve and dust can share a seperate channel in battle situtations for fleet updates, orbital strike requests, you name it)
- if possible (controller seems pretty full already) quick key chat system with corresponding minimap icons like in tribes: ascend
http://tribes.wikia.com/wiki/Voice_Game_System
Granted opinions on tribes can differ and it oviously would'nt need to be as extensive as in tribes nor really be fully voiced, but simple things like spotting and marking enemys, confirming, denying, marking postions to higher ups (bsp: marking call in positions for installations), "hold that vehicle" comments and the like that frees up voice coms from such clutter.

last but not least:
- remote chat/voice com capabilities via smartphone/tablet

A reason to burst fire. At the moment it's just hold r1, reload, hold r1 until everyone is dead. Give me recoil! Make the gun jump like it's actually being fired, instead of staying totally accurate while you dodge dip duck dive and dodge.

I played this weekend, and it seems fine. Ye, you can hold the trigger and get a bunch of hits on the guy, but I find bursting makes the guy drop much faster, almost as if the first bullet to come out of the gun after everytime you release the trigger does slightly more damage. But that could just be me.

Dust needs LOVE! Let us make love in Dust

I'd like to be able to use the currently redundant left on the d-pad to quick drop nanohives.

No just no

I have shields and armor for a reason not so you can just run in a scout suit behind me and OHK me

I'd like to see a shooting/firing range to check out/practice/test with weapons out of an actual battle

In the merc quarters, let our mercs to sit on the sofa and allow us to tune the big screen onto our favourite TV channel - the Dust Broadcasting Corporation - so we can watch other realtime battles raging (or past battles) while we chill, awaiting our next contract.

Expanding on this, I'd like to see it crash into the earth and explode, probably taking out a few unlucky clones in the process.

It should be like it looked in the end original trailer where the MCC explodes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzVjggarRns&feature=plcp

- Good clan support

- Have tutorials, even in-game ones with a small map and some things the player can interact with and targets to shoot. Make sure that they are also shown how squad leader functions work like setting orders and the benefits of following them.

- Solid clan battle system

- Better hit detection

- More servers

- More spawn points

- Better balance between high SP/low SP players, hopefully this will be seen with implementation of high/low/null sec.

- Better frame rate

- Make the radar less effective.

- Let players customize weapons.

- Increase rendering distance.

- Have a good match making system.

If these things happened I think it'd be better than any other FPS game on console.

Added point values to things like stopping an enemy hacking a asset or point by killing them in the process. Or stopping an enemy's hack before it does complete. Things that reward a player for defending the points and assets not just running around trying to farm kills for points.

Right now the end of the game seems rushed. Rather than getting kicked back to the Mercs Quarters, I'd like to go back to the War Room with my team and maybe chat with my team about the game we played and maybe view some in depth stats about the game.

In the merc quarters, let our mercs to sit on the sofa and allow us to tune the big screen onto our favourite TV channel - the Dust Broadcasting Corporation - so we can watch other realtime battles raging (or past battles) while we chill, awaiting our next contract.

Attachments for your weapons like different scopes, a grenade launcher, and maybe even different types of grips? Also the ability to take off your scope so you can just look down the top of your gun.

A Medic system like MAG's, symbols above both medic and person who needs reviving. Oh and make bleed out time longer to give people with med kits a chance to get there. Make rewards high for reviving to encourage it. (more xp in MAG for reviving than killing)

It's already been posted, but when a match ends, I think we should either just queue up for another match(if you want to leave you can), or revert back to the pre lobby/hub area while still staying matched up.

This way, those who want to quit can quit, and those who want to keep playing with the same team can do so. Going back to the lobby/hub area would also give everyone time to buy items, restock their suits and upgrade skills.

Right now the match will end, then you wait to go back to your Merc Quarters, then you need to search for another match, wait in lobby, then match loads and starts. It's just kind of a long wait sometimes.

I looked for this suggestion but didn't see it.

I call it "Persistant Lobby". In otherwords, the stays the same. And you stay on the same team match after match after match, and can change your squad only.

I believe that CCP is heading towards this, because they put the market access in the war rooms.

My request :

Less epeen fueling "Like my post if XXX" threads. This thread is actually less constructive than you think. The idea is sound but you're not asking for feedback, you're asking for backpats. The point of making a new thread to request a feature is to actually provoke a discussion about it so that multiple perspectives on a feature or issue can be seen. The fact that people can only 'like' and no one can 'dislike' (Dislikes would be a horrible idea.) means that this thread is very one sided. When reading this someone has no idea how many people oppose a certain idea.


Just because an idea is cool enough to earn a 'like' doesn't mean it wouldn't break the game. If your idea is cool enough that you think it should be able to make it in the game, search the forums for it. If there is no thread about it, make a new one!

It would be a good ideal to have evasive maneuvers in the game like jumping over fences like in BF3,For the 3 main classes they each get a different maneuver.

Enforcer GÇô Assault
For Enforcer class they can slide like in the dust 514 trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRyXDlZKwgA at exactly 1:13 the merc guy slides for cover.

Arbiter GÇô Scout
For Arbiter they can roll over when close combat goes to them http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mBa0_19XqY at exactly 2:04 the heavy trooper rolls over for incoming rocket.

Sentinel GÇô Heavy

And for Sentinel class they are able to hide behind pillars and walls and switch to pistol to shoot at enemies http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4nw4u-KgHw at exactly 0:46 the soldier hides behind a pillar from incoming fire.

It's not about likes, it's simply a thread showing CCP what are the most popular ideas with out creating a million threads.

I really like this topic! +FAV
I like* the ideas of magnetic grenades and the colorblind mode.

introduce a skill set, and modules that can increase base player movement speed at the cost of armor.

Some sort of reward system for accomplishing certain feats in a game. For example, you get a medal every time you get 30 kills or revive 15 people in a game and these medals add up over time.

On the other hand, skill resets are something they could sell for aurum without being too pay to win. They've got to make money somehow, but they already have too many aurum items that are just like prototype but use less pg/cpu(i.e., just plain better, i.e., pay to win)

This thread is a great start. How about making an entire section of the forum for Feedback and Requests?

Ok, I will play. One thing?

Different HUD for the different suit types.

For example, the logistics suit could have the ability to zoom out on the mini map and have icons for fallen comrades, etc.

And it would be great if the different HUDs really reflected their origins in feel, graphics, something like that.

I really would like to re-emphasize that this is a really awesome Idea. I hope different HUDs are implemented, it makes sense, different manufacturers and races.

Have differnet types of ambient music for different types of planets.

Idk, I would like to listen to something else other than the current track...every single battle.

Turn off the autoaim. Thank you kindly.

I was reading another post and i thaught this is a great idea.

xprotoman23:
Vehicles should be able to be disable similar to battlefield 3. Once they reach a certain HP threshold they should break down. Unless the driver is able to get to cover and manually get out of the vehicle and repair it.

A tanks main weekness is its tracks. why cant we exploit it ?

And before people start saying one man should not be able to take down a tank and that the game is all about teamwork,
In real life tanks are supposed to be supported by infantary otherwise they get pasted by javalins and people with Explosives.
All it takes is one IED to stop an A1 abrahams dead in its tracks.

can we have chest bumbs and air guitars tooo?? ok maybe thats to much but some kind of interaction in the war room would be nice.

Dusters need a very informative tutorial about eve. I want to know as much about it as i can. Been looking a bit on my own.

It's on development and all the people in this thread will receive and unlimited supply of them and a PS Vita

This idea has been suggested before by others besides me, but I noticed many a resistant to it, and I'm not sure why. I would appreciate it if someone who disagrees expresses their opinion about why this isn't wanted since I don't really know the argument against it.

I think that when spawning to a CRU this should be the case, however drop uplinks should be hard to spawn to thus having a dedicated timer. That way someone can't react to changing battlefield conditions too fast.

when preping for battle we should have and interactive 3-D model to work with in the war room, What I mean by interactive is for the players to plan and set objective markers, or check for the best possible area for an instillation to be droped off before battle. I hope that is the purpose of the current 3-D hologram in the war room atm. I could see It as a use it or lose It item, meaning you can only benifit from using It, and you don't have to use It If you don't want to.

Make us have some sort of flare system for the dropships, because they seem to go down very quicky from swarm launchers, give us at least a chance to get away from them at least. Lol, because once they are coming at you they don't stop till they hit something.

I clicked like, but only if it is less frequently able to be used than say BF3. We don't want to COMPLETELY inhibit the Swarm Launchers use.

Jet packs anyone?

I clicked like, but only if it is less frequently able to be used than say BF3. We don't want to COMPLETELY inhibit the Swarm Launchers use.

Make it an 'equipment' type module on the dropships (and possibly all vehicles? ), like grenades etc. Militia may have 2 uses (enough for 2 SL shots), standard 3 and so on...

Also possibly not neccesserily 100% effective...the effectiveness increases with the 'level' of flare used, and/or possibly a skill could also affect this.

The only problem I see in the long run is that people will then be saying flares are OP and need to be nerfed.

Snipers. Snipers just friggun love to get on top of things. Right now, people are spawning huge ships to climb to the higher portions of the map. If climbing to the ceiling is going to be supported in release, I'd recommend a small, cheap, scout ship for this express purpose, a flying motorcycle.

Jetpacks wouldn't be a problem if they were slow. Speed gives an advantage of invulnerability; if you're fast enough, no one can hit you. If jetpacks are made slow, people won't be able to run from a battle successfully (because its slow) by flying away, and thus it won't be cheap.
Another way to balance jetpacks would be high CPU/PG requirements.
Would be very useful for logistic dropsuits, they have the equipment slots to use it AND support equipment. They can fly past defenses and plant drop uplinks, or effectively get to downed enemies to revive them. There are genuine team applications for jetpacks. And there are ways to prevent abuse.
Importantly, jetpacks are FUN (which is the goal of games in general).

I wasn't aware Halo was the only shooter with jetpacks, nor that Halo was the first ever to have it. I don't see anyone whining and saying "deployable spawn points make the game too much like Killzone 2 or Battlefied 3". "Halo did it" is NOT a valid counterargument.

Wasn't really an argument mate. I was joking around with Ludwig. There really IS NO argument with the suggestion of Jet Packs other than there are more important features to focus on.

If a Logi was given a Jet Pack option with a HUGE cpu cost that's alright by me.

Maybe CCP can add some different music like Beethovan mixed with some dubstep, I always love me some Beethovan. *jokes*

I heard someone said that there would be custom soundtracks, but I have no idea if this is true or not.
If it isn't, I am requesting it now. I think custom soundtracks would be really awesome. I want to hear some NIN while playing.

Jet packs anyone?

Also, while in a vehicle in a non-driving or non-turret slot, you should be able to use your guns. Whenever I get into a dropship and the turrets and pilot slot are occupied, I feel useless and immediately bail out. They should at least let you use your gun, because that's what would happen in real life.

aww yeah.

edit, and by NIN I hope you mean Nine Inch Nails.

1) I would like strafing speed to be reduced. As it is now, the combat is very Halo-ish. "Oh an enemy....left....right....left....right...etc. Being forced into a slow "walk" speed while firing would be nice.

2) The bunny hopping is very annoying. Jumping should be tied into stamina, possibly with a charge that allows greater heights to be reached. Jumping stays usefull, but isn't something that happens every 10 seconds.

Bascially I would like the combat to be tactical, brutal, and done intelligently. As opposed to people running and jumping in circles around each other.

3) We should be able go from sprinting to shooting (pulling trigger stops the sprinting, with a small delay for bringing the gun up), and crouch to sprint practically instanly.

were Mercs not Soldiers we get money not medals :)

Ok, and I must say this is a great idea for a thread.
EDIT: might as well add another idea to this thread.

-More exotic scifi weapons/equipment like the forge gun, not just scifi versions of regular weapons (like SMG, assault rifle). It would be nice to have something like a blue plasma flame thrower that does close range burning damage. Perhaps gravity gun made from scavenged Yan Jung (from EVE lore) technology. Perhaps bio-mechanical symbiotic dropsuits that regenerates, can be made from Takmahl technology (EVE lore). Mass Effect 3 does a great job in this department, for example, they have a shotgun that's like a powerful lightning flame thrower, but has to reload after each shot. They don't have to be crazy powerful in relation to the defense dropsuits offer, they just have to be more scifi, and interesting compared to the generic FPS weaponry.

More specific:

I want to say that I want new weapons that are not just a novelty, but are as genuinely useful as regular weapons like assault rifles and SMGs.
Going to throw around some ideas.

_____________________________________________________
Amarr (lasers)
-A mid to long range laser weapon firing multiple beams with low but continuous damage. Its advatange is that it doesn't fire one beam, but instead fires four beams lined up on a wide horizontal plane allowing for a wide field of damage to hit multiple targets at once. It could be similar to the line gun in the Dead Space series.
-Please make the laser weapon that isn't currently in the beta as versatile as the assault rifle.

Caldari (missiles, railguns)
-Antipersonnel stasis webifier: Reduces the maximum speed of an enemy merc by employing micro energy streams which effectively entangle the target temporarily, thereby slowing it down. Would be actvated by aiming one's hand towards an enemy.

Gallente (drones, plasma blasters)
-Plasma burner that does short/mid range continuous burning damage. It fires continuously for about 2 seconds before needing to reload.
-A long range rifle that fires explosive drone disks that the shooter must remote control to drive them to the target. Has great damage, and great range, but remote controlling the disk into an enemy puts the user at risk since he's no longer observing his own surroundings because the shooter is viewing in the camera perspective of the disk.
-A group of spherical flying drones that orbit the player and generate a slight shield. When the player designates a target by aiming a non-lethal laser at an enemy, the drones move towards and fly around the enemy to do some light contnuous damage, and distraction.
-A lightning weapon that functions in short and mid range like an SMG, but does lower damage as a tradeoff. The main advantage of it would be that the lightning will have a chaining effect, and would damage multiple nearby enemies all at once (maybe Amarr since its also an energy weapon, but lightning is a form of plasma).

Minmatar (projectiles: autocannons, and artillery)
-Artillery spear rifle: A mid range rifle with very slow (1 shot fired every 2 seconds) heavy explosive short spear rounds, it would have high damage. Should be more powerful than a breach assault rifle, but not as powerful as a mass driver. but only a 10 round magazine size.

Yan Jung (maybe made from reverse engineering scavenged technology from ruins)
-A gravity gun that fires charged shots, and each shot will be a energy sphere that will pull in anyone that it hits directly (which traps them until the sphere disappears in 10 seconds), and slows the the movement of anyone moving away from it by pulling on them. It would be like the forge gun, but have the effect of trapping or slowing down enemy players. This weapon would be nonlethal.

These are just examples of possible ways to go about adding more interesting weapons.

NO to slow walk, this would Negate the advantage of being a scout.

Jumping IS tied to stamina

Agree

1) I would like strafing speed to be reduced. As it is now, the combat is very Halo-ish. "Oh an enemy....left....right....left....right...etc. Being forced into a slow "walk" speed while firing would be nice.

2) The bunny hopping is very annoying. Jumping should be tied into stamina, possibly with a charge that allows greater heights to be reached. Jumping stays usefull, but isn't something that happens every 10 seconds.

Bascially I would like the combat to be tactical, brutal, and done intelligently. As opposed to people running and jumping in circles around each other.

3) We should be able go from sprinting to shooting (pulling trigger stops the sprinting, with a small delay for bringing the gun up), and crouch to sprint practically instanly.

Not bad, maybe in the future, but that would definately be awesome. Lets get more ideas people.

Yea but the developer has to code it in. Most ps3 games do not support custom soundtracks. Very few do, and most of them are sports games like MLB, and GT5.

No thanks.

You can't edit your weapons in eve, so why should you be able to do it in this game? also, it would ruin some other weapons, like the mass driver. it wouldn't have a use if everyone put grenade launchers on their rifles.
