As of right now when you go into the Battle Finder it just drops you into a random battle, be it directly into battle or in the battle que room.
I along with a few of my buddies were trying to find each other so we could fight together on the same team in the same battle. I left approximately 4 battles and never was able to hook up with them in battle. At that point we realized you are practically placed in battles at random.
My request is to implement a Friend/Buddy Finder into the game that is connected with the Social Tab of the menu. In other words you add someone to your contacts list and you should have some type of option to join them in battle. Right now you can click on a name in your contact list and you can see their info, send them mail, block them, watch them, etc etc. Why not also place on option to "Join in battle" if they are online. Also with this in mind....there is no way of knowing if your contacts are online or not. There should be some green icon next to their name to know if they are in DUST514. While you do know they are online through the PS3 system, once they enter DUST514, you have no clue were they are at.
I also do understand that Corps will play a big factor in this.....but even so, if you have a couple of guys in the same Corp or if they create a guild, it would be nice to be able to come on line and join your buddies/friends in battle under the same squad/Team. And one last note............as of now the only way you can add someone to your contacts list is if you see their name either in the chat interface or after the battle is over with and you choose their name to add. There needs to be some type of search interface in the game......so you can search for a players name and then add them to your contacts. That is another problem my friends and I are running into. While we can't find each other in battles, we can't find each others names in the game to be able to "add to contacts.
So in conclusion................online icon, friend/buddy locater, Join in battle option, and player search box. |
