So you found an inaccurate definition (it only needs a well-placed "typically" to be correct though), and used to to try and prove DUST isn't MMOFPS.
When all you need is the fact that the individual battlefields AREN'T persistent in any kind of lasting manner. As a result, the FPS elements of DUST are actually instanced minigames within the ACTUAL MMO game, which is a political and economic simulator. It also has a logistics-based infantry/vehicle equipment minigame that ties into the FPS minigames.
Flawed evidence, but correct conclusion. I give you 4/10. |

At least you understand that you're struggling with it.
"I made a mistake" isn't that hard to say. Go ahead, try it now. |

Seems like Dust fails to stay true to the last part. Nellantar Ballsinya wrote:of course a highly skilled team will take out a lesser skilled team.

Are you mad because it came from wikipedia or are you mad because its true?
I've pointed out exactly how and why your reasoning was flawed, but also provided a LEGITIMATE reason why your poorly-reached conclusion was correct.
But you wouldn't bother to address that, would you? |

You're forgetting the infantry and vehicle creation minigame that ties into the FPS minigame, and the RPG-based skill trees, but pretty much, yeah.
Why? What did you think it was going to be? |

There are ways to balance mmopvp. In WoW for example they only allow players of equal levels to play against each other. lvl 10 to lvl 20 plays against each and so on. If there is going to be this much of a difference in how good proto gear is over militia gear then we might need to seperate the lobbies.
Of course we can't do that right now. There wouldn't be many people in the proto lobbies atm but this would be a great idea come release time. Group the lobbies based on how much SP people have.
There have been many suggestions that the matchmaking system for HighSec in DUST will separate players by skill level in some form. I think SP is probably a good measure to use, so that works for me.
But LowSec and NullSec shouldn't have those restrictions. That's the POINT of those areas of space. |

Actually, a large amount of them DO whine, but everyone else, including developers, points out, "well that was your fault for going PvP, wasn't it?" because there's a PvE phase that you can swap into (or start off in) if you don't want high-level players murdering you constantly.
And I'm pretty sure that, as I mentioned in my post, HighSec will have protections of some form in play to reduce the threat of high-powered players going into noob-stomping matches. But if you go into NullSec with Militia gear, you should EXPECT harsh treatment. Same thing for LowSec, but to a lesser extent. |

It's actually not bad on PS3.
You played it on PC, didn't you? Poor thing... |

Haven't played it much at all since they introduced CR, to be honest. It may have changed enough that it's not what I remember any more. I needed the HDD space for other things, and was running on only 60GB.
But I mostly enjoyed open-world PvP anyway, so shortening the grind doesn't worry me at all. |
