Ok guys, I lock the thread so we can do a proper cleanup of this mess. The doppleganger has been spotted so his/her fate is in the capable and wise hands of the Elders of New Eden. I reopen the thread tomorrow and I will keep a close eye on it. The topic has a valid point so I would like to see what are your opinions about it.

-1 is my vote.
Killstreaks is for making a shooter only game a bit more rewarding to play. This isn't a shooter only.

All killstreak bonuses do is promote camping and give good players more of an advantage over Players that are not as good as them. It's not as if they needed the additional boost if they were doing so well.

I also believe that the concept of KSBs go completely against what CCP are trying to achieve with Dust. Perhaps as a compromise, have a nominal SP or ISK "Bonus", but with regards to items that can cost a Player large sums of money?

My vote is no on this idea.

now this guy i like ;)

if you want every game to be like CoD sure... lets have kill streaks, death streaks, r/c REs, quick scoping, anything that very unskilled people use to take advantage of the skilled players that i missed?

How is quick scoping easy???

One of the hardest/ most rewarding skills in any game

sniping is a skill. quick scoping is not. you obviously know nothing if you think quick scoping is a skill and is how sniping should work. theres a reason the missiles dont go exactly where you aim when you're moving. that concept works when sniping while moving or when sniping a moving target. thats why quickscoping is the most unrealistic and annoying thing in CoD. i bet you suck at sniping on BF3 if you love quick scoping. you know the only reason quick scoping is possible? because they did not make the game correctly if it is possible to do.

sniping is a rewarding skill, try it sometime. oh wait its too hard for you, thats why you want quick scoping.

love the name of the person that made this also... Dustguy... more like CoDguy.

it takes a hell of a lot more skill to coordinate a strategy that can overcome overpowered enemies. if the lone wolves from CoD went up against a team of players who have any type of plan, you can expect the CoD kiddies to freak out, whine about how overpowered whatever the other team was using is, and then go running back to the only game simple enough for them to understand.

Codfags need to seriously gtfo, just GTFO

why do they have to be "fags" why can't they just be enthusiasts or players?

COD is the reason Dust exists. COD is what everyone will compare to Dust. COD is a success because it's a damn good game and has extremely solid FPS gameplay mechanics. The goal is to attract COD players to Dust, not the other way around.

Same reason why all EVE players are EVEtards or all MAG players are MAGtards. Because a few people on the forums are trollhards.

I Think players who get kills in a row, without dying, should be able to call in killstreaks

1. 5kills- jeep
2. 10kills- tank
3. 25kills- orbital strike

Seems fair to me

I think it's worth bringing up an important point in a GM post as to what happened earlier in the thread:


OP was a fake version of a legit poster on the forums, AND IS ALREAY BANNED FOR IT.

But the thread was kept open because THERE'S A VALID POINT.

Anyone care to add to my few attempts at looking at the idea of "streaks" constructively? Just saying "no, go back to CoD" isn't giving any real feedback. it's just saying you're refusing to even TRY and see any potential for a good idea as soon as "killstreak" is mentioned.

Why does it have to be only KILL streaks though?

Look back, and you'll see a few posts from me suggesting SP or WP bonuses when you get a large number of WAR POINTS without dying. Nobody's commenting on those attempts at constructive posting though, people are just seeing "killstreak" then seeing red.

Calm down, pay attention, and TRY to think of GOOD ideas, instead of ignoring the potential behind the idea because OP was an idiot.

Wow, rants about wanting quick scoping. How stupid! Quickscoping is such a joke and a cheap exploit. The only reason people quick scope, besides the instant kill it gives, was because they couldn't run around with anything other than that big ass scope to look down, blocking off all peripheral view. Now look at bf3, hell you can run with the iron sites if you want and no real quickscoping that i've ever seen.
