I've been playing Dust 514 for a few days now, and right off the bat I've noticed things I'd like added or changed. It's going to be a large list, so I'll be numbering it for easy reference.
Also, if people ask, I'll add other users requests so they're in one place.
EDIT: IF ANY OF THESE HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED, PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND SHOW ME A LINK! Thank you.
1. Looking down the sight should cancel sprints
When I sprint in other FPS's, I tend to use L1 (or whatever button is used to look down the sight) to cancel my sprints. The extra split second it saves me is invaluable when running around corners or over hills and into an enemy.
2. Holographic arc for throwable weapons/items
Throwing a grenade, and not knowing where it is going to land isn't very practical. The HUD has a holographic entity for everything except grenade tosses. A simple arc that shows where something will land is invaluable in making split decisions.
3. Return to character select through the Neocom
It's frustrating needing to restart Dust in order to switch to a different character.
4. Locate downed teammates on HUD
If the loadout I'm using has equipment that allows me to heal injured teammates, I should be able to locate downed teammates to heal them. The blue arrows that indicate teammates could have an additional symbol, or even be replaced entirely to grab your attention. Maybe a yellow color.
EDIT; I just found out that this is being implemented in the next build. Source
5. Better dropsuit/vehicle editing GUI
The circular GUI for dropsuit editing get's a bit frustrating. I need to rotate it just right to get to exactly where I want. I understand that this was probably done intentionally to look futuristic, but it tends to take up more time than nescescary. A quick edit could end up being a minute longer than it would be if it were simply built like an excel spreadsheet. A minute may not seem like much, until you consider that the waiting room for battles is around 3 minutes. Getting a final tweak in before your next battle can have a serious impact on the outcome.
6. Make variations on standard dropsuits
Being able to make different variations of starting loadouts will help create a little more variety for new players. Being penalized by losing a basic assault rifle you own just because you wanted it with your heavy, isn't justified.
7. Training area or Training server
A place to improve your skills without risk of losing equipment. Strictly training. Bots for offline play would also be beneficial, to test things by onesself.
8. Test skills and equipment before you buy
This goes along with #7. Allowing the Skills and Marketplace to be accessible during Training would allow quick access and testing. I know that I appreciate a hands on demonstration of something before I can whole-heartedly commit. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
9. Cancel crouch by sprinting
This goes along with #1. That split second really counts.
10. Custom button mapping
Please add this for simplicities sake. I like having my crouch button tied to L2 and my grenade button to R2.
11. Redo the weapon selection process
I've noticed that when I select a weapon in-game, when I push in a certain direction, after I select, my character starts looking in that direction. This is a minor annoyance, but using the directional pad when L2 (or whatever weapon select button is) is pressed to choose weapons would fix this. Also, the weapon selection GUI itself is very small, and makes selection difficult since it utilizes a rotating mechanic. In battle, I need to make sure I've selected the proper weapon fast.
12. Jetpacks
Please! It makes sense. Mobility at it's best.
EDIT; Some people are taking this too seriously. This is not meant to be a game changer. Just add another level of gameplay.
13. Sniper rifles with variable zoom
I haven't seen this if it exists. Please confirm.
14. Friendly Fire
In keeping with the realism of the EVE universe, friendly fire is a necessity in order to foster better team growth, and increase a players skill. Spraying, praying, and not caring seems childish, wasteful, and allows less skilled players larger access to important battles.
15. Visual cue for cooking grenades
A simple visual cue to see how long a grenade has cooked will help reduce the number of times a person commits suicide. Maybe a light that slowly turns red on the grenade.
16. Resistance Modules
I'd like to be able to see what the resistance of my shields/armor is before I fit resistance modules and after I fit them.

17. Automatically switch to sidearm when out of ammo
I don't always look at my ammo count, so when I run out and keep trying to shoot, it gets frustrating. I think it would be quick and easy just to have it done automatically. As an option, it would be greatly appreciated.
18. Add option to disable Aim Assist
Many people have been talking about it.
19. Separate X and Y sensitivities
Some people like having different sensitives for the X and Y axis.
20. Change speed at which weapons are switched
I noticed that when I switch from my main weapon to sidearm, it's slower than when I switch from my sidearm to my main weapon. It's somewhat backwards.
21. Allow the FOV to be changed
Add an option that allows the field of view to be changed. I know I like a wider view angle. It's more realistic.
22. Allow gun customization
Vehicles and dropsuits are customizable, why not guns?

We should at least be able to trade gear between these defaults to get some basic fittings that suit US, even if they have to be limited to BPO gear only.
This is definitely a point I'm trying to make. I'm glad someone else agrees.
Also, I'm not adamant on the jetpacks, I just thought they would add another level of gameplay. Scouts could use them to get to good vantage points. Of course, they would burn energy like no bodies business. |

Also added a request from Thor Thunder Fist. |

I just want to make sure that people are aware of this so that they can add their requests to my post. |

Only a minor thing but just a -tad- annoyed I can't delete the starting fittings for dropsuits and vehicles i'm not using now that i'm geared out more. (This is the first 4 for example in the dropsuits selection when starting a match) Let me delete these!
I believe those are there in case you run out of custom loadouts. Like a backup. You can never run out of default loadouts, but you can run out of, say, Assault II dropsuits.

You should also add Customization to the list.
A FPS MMO without customization is really depressing.
Did you mean customization's for guns? Because I understand that. |

Templar Two wrote:Customization in general: guns dropsuits & vehicles.
I don't understand. They already allow that for dropsuits and vehicles.
Also, I added two new requests. |

Colour schemes.
LET ME PAINT MY STUFF!
I don't think they would allow this, since they sell different color schemes using Aurum. Maybe if you could elaborate in a way that still allows CCP to make money. |

EDIT: Also, multiple HUD options would be nice. Different sniper/AR scope views, different HUD layouts, etc. Unless there are options which give more info or something, these should be in the options menu instead of being items you have to purchase/equip.
I already touched on the sniper scope issue. With the HUD issue, did you mean you want the to be able to customize the whole layout?
Quote:
EDIT AGAIN: More info on the "LET ME PAINT MY STUFF!" request. Currently they allow you to buy specific suits with specific colour schemes. We need an item that allows a custom paint scheme on ANY suit you choose to repaint. They don't need to give you the ability to custom draw rude images on your suit or anything, just have 3 or 4 colour options (Primary, secondary, trim, and maybe a detail colour for some suits) which can each be customised specifically. And the same goes for vehicles.
This makes sense, but how about CCP sells designs, and the different colors are free? |
