Darky SI 232	Posted - 2012.08.26 20:03:00 - [1] - Quote Hi guys i have created a post in the Feedback section on my suggestions to improve DUST and i would like to hear yours so that i can add it to the original list in the feedback section post in order to have one clean and organized post about testers suggestions. Here is mine: 1. Indicator for when a friend is online or offline: Currently we can't tell when a friend is online and playing DUST 514 unless we have them in PSN friend list which is limited to 99 friend. Of course i can't fill my friend list with only DUST 514 players because i play many other games not to mention i already maxed out my list. So it would be great if CCP can implement a feature to let us know when a friend/contact is online and playing DUST 514. Examples: - a green light next to the contact name when he is online AND playing DUST 514 - in contacts "view info" you could add a "status: Online" when the contact is logged in DUST 514 and "Status: Offline" when the contact is not playing DUST 514. 2. Switch Characters feature: Currently we have to reboot the client to be able to switch to a different characters, i know we still in the beta and this most likely will be implemented when the game is release so, i would like to suggest a way to implement it: - Going near the bed in MQ will show you "O switch character" notification - Or using one of the two doors in MQ if not planned for anything in the future 3. Point Scores instead of KDR leaderboards: This has been suggested/requested many times by others (me included), DUST 514 is team based tactical shooter and KDR is not perfect presentation for such shooter not to mention promoting lone wolfing. Since we already have the Warpoints system why don't you add it to the leaderboards to show the activity instead of the kills only. Similar leaderboard will be great: No\|PlayerName\|Warpoints\| KDR\| 1. \| Mercenary \| 4000 pnts\| 2/12 \| 2. \| Mercenary \| 3500 pnts\| 10/8 \| 3. \| Mercenary \| 3000 pnts\| 20/5 \| 4. \| Mercenary \| 2500 pnts\| 13/2 \| 5. \| Mercenary \| 2000 pnts\| 5/10 \| As you can see the order is based in the amount of Warpoints you get or Score if Warpoints can not be used for some reason still the KDR guys can show off there skills while rewarding the most active players by placing them in the top of the leaderboards. CCP can go even further by adding other stats to the leaderboard like assists, hacks etc if the screen premits such detailed leaderbords. 4. Mercenary Stats: I would like to see an option to see the activity of certain mercenary in the game like the overall kills, death, assists, hacks, vehicle destroyed, favorite fit, number of hours played and other stuff. This might help Corps recruitment of random players. Again this most likely going to be in the finished game so excuse my eagerness. 5. Email notification: There should some sort of notification when receive mails from others, maybe exclamation mark next to email icon as long there are unread messages. =============================================================================== Original Post Notes: - I will add your name next to your suggestion to reserve your rights - I will take only constructive useful suggestions so please don't troll or hate - Thank you in advance

Hogan-Mueller Seituoda Taskforce Command Caldari State 2	Posted - 2012.08.26 20:21:00 - [3] - Quote 1) I'd like the ability to restock a fitting to a certain level OR buy X amounts of each mod in a fitting. Basically the way it was last build with an option for the way it is now. 2) It would be really cool if you were gunning for a couple things. a) On a LAV if there was someway to reference which direction the vehicle was headed that would make life easier. b) If you could add a HUD on the Dropship such that it displays speed and/or wind direction so you can have an idea of how far to compensate for velocity. 3) Type of battle on loading screen would be great. 4) Ability to copy/paste fittings. I don't know how many suits being LOGI that I want almost identical except different equipment options, drives me nuts having to build the different suits each time when all I want is the same suit with an exception in the equip slot.

Cricix D Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 22	Posted - 2012.08.26 21:46:00 - [7] - Quote Ability to press "X" on a player name and invite them to squad. Current system is slightly annoying. Somehow make change weapon button something else. I hate using the wheel just to change to secondary weapon, and I'm incapable of pressing R2 just right to switch without bringing up the wheel. I know, I'm awful. A skill calculator in game. A chocolate cake with cookie dough ice cream delivered to my house after every 10000 Warpoints earned.

Once thats up and running well they could have a poll to see what goodies players think are important

I know, I'm awful. . The squad invite feature is very annoying,and I too think that the weapon swap needs to be changed in some sort of way. I would also like there to at least be an option to turn off auto reload.I hate getting into a CQC firefight with someone,only to have them kill me because I'm reloading instead of swapping weapons,which I have issues doing while reloading. I hate to bring it up,but MAG had pretty much the perfect control setup and functionality.It's not a bad thing for devs to take the best elements of a game and use them in what they are making.

Th3rdSun L.O.T.I.S. Legacy Rising 323	Posted - 2012.08.26 23:47:00 - [12] - Quote I would also like a more intuitive way to start a group.You shouldn't have to add a person to your contacts just to send them a group invite.I can see if they are in a different corp,but if they are in the same corp,it shouldn't take more than two button presses to invite a player. The system as it is now is very frustrating,but I guess we should be a little bit thankful that we even have a grouping system at all.
Th3rdSun L.O.T.I.S. Legacy Rising 323	Posted - 2012.08.27 00:11:00 - [13] - Quote Just thought of another one.There needs to be a more intuitive way to call in squad commands.I would like to be able to call commands on the fly,instead of opening up a map and getting shot while the map is open.

843 pano 843 Boot Camp 200	Posted - 2012.08.27 02:05:00 - [18] - Quote For all that is holy, please solve the PS3 system file corruption bug, the instant battle freeze bug and spawning in a group of red dots bug. I don't want anything new, I just want to play without freezes or crashes and not be insta killed when spawning. I really enjoy playing this game, when it finally loads... but lets focus on the corrupt issue and not worry about new stuff right now. Pano

RedRebelCork Ahrendee Mercenaries Legacy Rising 37	Posted - 2012.08.27 11:08:00 - [21] - Quote I've not racked up a huge amount of time in Dust but have gotten a few hours in on the latest patch so these are all first impressions pretty much. 1. Scoreboard needs to be more fluid. Right now it's like a sub-menu that pops up taking over your screen. Ideally something like BF3 that can be quickly brought up as a transparent HUD showing who is alive, scores, player counts etc. Current scoreboard takes too long to load. 2. Show who is talking on the scoreboard and let me interact with them (mute, friend etc). 3. Show speech icons on mini-map. Someone says: "I need help over here" there's no way for me to know who is talking or where here is right now. 4. Running-jumps are both slow and clunky. The characters appear to slow down before jumping which is completely the opposite of what you expect (you sprint into a jump IRL). I don't want bunny hopping but I do want to be able to leap out of the way of something or into a doorway and cover. The jumps don't feel right either, don't ask me for specifics, they just feel wrong. 5. Do away with range limitations on rifles. A sniper is 300m away and hitting my team mates beside me, I want to suppress him with my space-age assault rifle but I can't. A World War 2 rifle has a further effective range. It's just a bit silly really isn't it? 6. When viewing items on the market there's too many options. (View info, market prices, requirements etc etc). Instead of making me navigate through 5 menus and 10 button clicks have everything on one overview panel 'Show info' with the requirements, a nice little market price graph like a stock ticker: https://www.google.ie/search?q=google.com%3A+aapl&sugexp=chrome,mod&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#hl=en&sclient=psy-ab&q=aapl&oq=aapl&gs_l=serp.3..0i3j0j0i3j0i10.1759.2164.0.2378.4.4.0.0.0.0.133.477.0j4.4.0...0.0...1c.eyMIgxplYKg&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.&fp=b5f9bef3412cfb63&biw=1600&bih=809 and some other useful info like attributes and modifiers. 7. Dropsuits can't go prone? 8. Swarm launchers are bad. Everything about them, the unpredictable spread, the lack of infantry stopping power or direct fire ability. They just go all over the place. When locking on if a tank reverses behind cover I'm still unsure whether there's a way for me to release the trigger without firing? 9. Usability. Dust needs it. It feels like it takes 15 button presses and 3 menu navigations just to take a ****. Starting the game you press start how many times? Streamline it so we can get into the game menu and into the action faster. 10. Vehicle control is all kinds of bad. One of the least user-friendly control layouts for a vehicle I've seen in quite some time. Just replace all the stick waggling with a forwards button, a reverse button and use the stick to steer like every game. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
Darky SI 232	Posted - 2012.08.27 14:03:00 - [22] - Quote @RedRebelCork great stuff and i agree with most of it, i'll make sure to add them to the OP asap (using phone now)
Cpl Quartz 127	Posted - 2012.08.27 14:07:00 - [23] - Quote Make hills easier to walk up. It's just annoying the way it is at the moment.
SLY MV Zumari Force Projection Caldari State 0	Posted - 2012.08.27 14:54:00 - [24] - Quote Ok 1 thing I REALLY hate is the vehicle maneuvering, which right now you basically control the whole vehicle with 1 analog stick. I industry hate it because anytime im trying to slightly turn I drift. Maybe make it so you go forward withR2, reverse with L2and drift ne holding X while turning. Oh and have SQUARE to look back. I like how the transitioning is done with triangle though.

Eddy Stoned Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 0	Posted - 2012.08.27 15:10:00 - [26] - Quote The Rocket Launcher Should deliver more damage. As you get people rolling around in two 'Tank' like vehicles it becomes very difficult to take them down. Especially when no one else is helping... Just a throwing that one out there... Not trying to troll... just aiming to get more involved :D:D Eddy out.

Then heavy, then the T. J. Laser pistol from robocop. Ye been wondering about that myself, surley they should get the weapons in as early as possible to tweak and balance them then worry about eve integration and all the other stuff. I wouldn't mind if they stripped the graphics back to basics as long as they got the shooting and aiming spot on then build it back up again.
crazy space ZionTCD Legacy Rising 879	Posted - 2012.08.27 15:17:00 - [28] - Quote 1. 3d models on the character select screen. 2. Better skill training UI 3. Remove the heavy starter. No one gets what the missles are for. Isn't it obvious by now? Give them militia hmg. Move swarm launcher. 4.increase passive sp income to 40k a day, or about one match. Isn't one match free not overboard? Also. 6. Decrease passive sp gain the longer someone hasn'tplayed a game. 7. Make it so corp buddies can't fight each other in quick match. Please. 8. Tanks with double large turrets contorled by 3 people. The enemy can run into the tank. They can hack or blast open the door. 9. Give everyone all militia gear from the start. Having to go to the market to buy one of every militia item is stupid. New players would get a better idea of what they can fit without being expected to jump.through hoops. Do we really want telling people " when you start before anything go to the market and buy your militia gear" to be an expected part of the dust 1st impression?

Asrieth Osmon Surveillance Caldari State 4	Posted - 2012.08.27 17:41:00 - [30] - Quote Vehicle operation is way to difficult. I believe all of the control should not be in one analog stick. Please make it so that the left stick only controls moving forward and backward and the right stick controls the camera and direction you move. All control in one stick is hella hard.

I mean, we have 2 analog sticks and a whole mess of buttons! Lets make some use of them!

fred orpaul Tritan-Industries Legacy Rising 213	Posted - 2012.08.28 03:23:00 - [34] - Quote Bring back the heavy! Hmg should have as much dmg as the smg at least if not the ar. Forge needs the range restrictions removed now the greatest perpetrator of tower camping, dropships, are untouchable. Heavies can be sniped dropships cannot and swarms cant touch them if they are placed right, i should know i abused the ** out of this last build. Heaviest should be feared and should be gun game breakers. They were fine in the first build. I loved having to work to take them out and they are the onpy thing that keep vehicles in check in this game. Vehicles should be a tacticql deployment a defened asset not something that roles the whole map and heavies were the suit that kept them in check. Every one likes to complain about heavies but they are what made this game different from others. Their movement and cost makes them a Hugh liability. They should beable to hit back hard to make up for it. They dont need more armor that would break the pacing if the game but they do need more power in the weapons only they can bring to the game. I have run every thing in the game but heavies and role them every time. I have started running logistics suits with my freinds heavy and found that we do better with an ar heavy then a ***** Hmg heavy. Ive also found that we do better as a pair of low level swarm scouts then a forge heavy and a logistics. How does breaking the heavymake sense when its so expensive to use? The original heavy was fine please bring it back, and provide me with a more intresting chalenge then Ive had since the first build.

Simplify the chat / squad / notification / grouping system, it's way to over engineered, complicted for the sake of being complicated and generaly a pain in the @ss to use. Frago, a pain to use and too slow. Grouping in general, an even bigger pain and again over complicated.

Booker DaFooker Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 69	Posted - 2012.09.04 08:31:00 - [41] - Quote Just a simple thing, as a Move user I am often finding that I lose sight of my aiming reticule if there is a lot of action on screen. This is a problem because with move you are often aiming at a different part of the screen to that at which you gun animation is pointing, especially with the HMG which barely moves at all with the Move movement (tongue twister alert!). All these animations will hopefully change in full game which will make life easier, but would be great if reticule colour and/or brightness was customizable therefore making it easier to see in volatile situations than the current dull white.

Drudkh Amarr Royal Uhlans Amarr Empire 0	Posted - 2012.09.04 16:01:00 - [44] - Quote Using PS Move is hopeless. The aiming sight needs to be able to move around the screen instead of moving the whole screen like with an Dualshock controller.
Dragonxkai Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 1	Posted - 2012.09.08 06:41:00 - [45] - Quote Actually I think it's because they have to balance between the 3 controllers: Controller Mouse+KB PS Move Making one or the other outperform even a bit will result in people whining or all jumping onto the controller bandwagon. In any case the one thing you'll notice is the M+KB and the PS Move will underperform as they will adjust them under the performance of a usual controller, sorta like having a limiter in place. So for a PS Move controller, since if they let you aim anywhere on the screen like the other usual move mechanic, you can basically 'snipe' on the screen or spray close up very very accurately... The reasoning behind it is to dumb down your aim to the controller player's level. Of course, hacked and custom 'mouse' controllers that functions like a normal controller can bypass this. When I set the mouse sensitivity to max, it still turns slower than your controller at 10-30 sensitivity. This is because they don't want people to do 180 degree turns within 1 second, and wants everyone to be limited to a fixed controller spec so everyone is on equal footing... Which is bad if people want to enjoy using their controllers skillfully... In any case, 50 sensitivity on the controller spins you at a modest rate, so 100 would mean you can turn 180 within 2 seconds but can't aim as well for long distance? Again people who really want good control will resort to custom controllers that emulates a mouse.
Akira Zeta Algintal Core Gallente Federation 7	Posted - 2012.09.08 13:36:00 - [46] - Quote Here are a few ideas that I believe could improve the game: 1. Vehicle controls should be altered. I believe the driving controls should be R2 to go forward, L2 to reverse, left analog stick to steer, and the right analog stick to look around. Keep triangle to switch seats. 2. It is much too slow to switch to the sidearm. I actually wish it wasn't mapped to R2 as well. Triangle would be much better. Make the right analog stick switch stance. L2 melee and R2 grenade. 3. The reload animations are a bit too long in my opinion. 4. I think the maps should look different based on the atmosphere of the planet. Fire, Ice, Forest, Desert, Storms, Snow. You could also have ancient cities, refineries, villages, architecture of the different cultures, mines, etc. Variety is always nice and should set the maps apart. 5. All the classes should have unique weapons and abilities that help the team. Assault is useless right now. 6. Additional cosmetic variety between classes and enemies. Should be able to look at player and tell what class they are playing. 7. Aim assist and voice chat should be enabled by default. 8. Higher default looking sensitivity. 9. Camera should be farther away from character in HQ. 10. Improve textures and effects 11. Grenade indicator for friendly and enemy grenades. Make indicator different colors. 12. Hit boxes need to be adjusted. 13. Reloading while running would be great. 14. Stamina meter is a bit annoying, would prefer unlimited sprint. 15. Hold breath while sniping if not already possible. 16. More class based game play similar to battlefield but on a greater level so people work together more. 17. Engineers can build temporary structures such as gun turrets 18. Press down to open a scroll wheel to select a vehicle or structure with analog stick. Look to Star Hawk for inspiration. 19. Traditional menu would be nice with a server browser and from there you can choose to go your HQ. Would have all the features and options available when you press start. HQ feels sort of gimmicky to me since its so small. 20. Orbital drop system for spawning would be awesome. I know it is in both Section 8 and Star Hawk but it makes sense in this game since you are working for the Eve Online players. I have a feeling this is going to be an awesome game when all is said and done. :)

The move should be an easier way to play, but it is the exact opposite right now. Aiming from the hip is ok, but you can't do anything down the sights because of the deadzones. Remove them for ADS. Look at Killzone 3 for inspiration.

I would suggest a professionally created tutorial video instead of just one wall of text after another. People will stop to watch a short video, while they will skip through text in order to go shoot people and blow things up. Since this game has excellent depth and is Free to Play, i see introducing a new player to the game as one of the most important aspects of the game.
grey man5 Osmon Surveillance Caldari State 1	Posted - 2012.09.11 20:14:00 - [49] - Quote Suggestions: 1. I'd really like to be able to map functions to buttons. If you can't do that then please make the "weapon switch" funciton the triangle (as previously mentioned). The weapon switch on R2 currently makes it tricky to consistently execute a quick switch. 2. There is a static 3D map in the battle lobby. It would be useful if it actually changed to reflect the battlefield that you are about to enter with points of interest [A-E] and the default spawns marked. 3. A more varied landscape, cover options and objects would be nice. I assume that will come. Comment: I agree that "The game can be overwhelming for the standard console FPS fan", but that seems to be weeding out most of the middle schoolers which is nice (based on lack of non-sensical chatter on the com).

KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 3064	Posted - 2012.09.11 22:29:00 - [51] - Quote [IN BATTLE/GAMEPLAY]: -Ability to increase zoom in on sniper scopes for greater range. -Increase player count in battles. Maps too big for so little players. -Many actions that are beneficial to one's team aren't really rewarded. I will list some. Points should be awarded for destroying enemy equipment like drop uplinks and nanohives. Pilots need to get points for when people spawn on their vehicle's CRU; points are awarded for drop uplink spawns, I don't see why vehicle CRU spawns aren't included. Points need to be awarded for cancelling enemy hacks on objectives because right now its more beneficial for players to let the enemy complete the hack before taking it back, and this is at the detriment of the player's team; sure this could lead to boosting, but people can theoretically already boost with the current way things are with with hacking of all installations. -When you join a battle, it should tell you the server name on top of the playerlist/scoreboard. Often when I joined a game through the "Instant Battle" matchmaking, I really liked the map and wondered what server this was on so I can find it again. -The kills reported on the killfeed disappear too fast, so it makes it hard to know who and killed you. The name of your killer, as well as the weapon used should appear largely and centered on the screen for 2 seconds for you to see. -Some sort of meter or counter that lets a squad leader know how close he is to being able to call in a strike. -Points for kills and assists should be proportional to how much damage you did to the enemy. If you do 80% of the damage, you should get 80% of the possible points for the kills, even if you only got an assist. Likewise, if you only did 20% of the damage yet got the kill, you should only get 20% of the possible points for the kill. -In Ambush, players should spawn randomly in a location where there is 1 or more teammates present, and where there are also no enemies in close proximity. Currently you can spawn right in front of an enemy, and its annoying. -It would be better if all spawns not from a CRU or drop uplink involved being launched down from from up high (or the MCC in Skirmish games), and activating the inertial dampener; it would be far more exciting, and would make more sense then magically appearing on the battlefield. -Using the map to set capture/defend/attack squad commands on lettered objectives is still impossible. This needs to be fixed because a clear line of sight to the objective isn't always available to use the command wheel. -Allow reloading while running at 50% reloading speed to increase the fluidity of combat. It is physically possible with practice, it just takes longer; an immortal mercenary with thousands of lives worth of practice should definitely be able to do this. Many other FPS games have done so and show that it doesn't hurt gameplay (like BF3). -More movement options like vaulting and sliding and rolling. -Players should be able to summon the RDV to take back their vehicles if armor is still intact. -Maps need more obstacles/cover, most of them feel too flat. [CONTROLS]: -Aim down sight sensitivity is jerky, maybe the acceleration is too high. Custom ADS sensitivity options would be really useful. At least take a look at this, it's extremely difficult to move the dot a small distance, and it leads to totally going past the enemy I'm trying to aim at. -If I throw a grenade and hold R1, I should automatically start shooting as soon as the animation finishes. That goes for all animations. -check out this thread and its proposal regarding weapon switching. Switching weapons right now can be problematic and unresponsive. [SOCIAL/COMMUNICATIONS]: -Ability to search characters (and add them as contacts, or mail them) by typing in the PSN ID of the user; this should also come with an option to hide one's PSN ID (and hide character from being found through a PSN ID search) for those who have spy accounts and need to maintain anonymity. This would be great for finding characters of PSN friends if you don't know their character names. -A READY status for squad (party system) so squad leader can easily know if/when their squad members are ready to join a battle without having to constantly ask. -Ability to search and request to join a persistent squad. -How voice chat channels should work: Squad channel: squad members can only speak on here normally. Team channel (or renamed squad leader channel): squad leaders get the option to use this channel to coordinate with each other. It is also important that squad leaders NOT in team channel can hear of other squad leaders that are in team channel. This is to keep squad leaders on the same page. Command chat: commanders (coming SOON) can use this channel, and everyone hears the speaker, regardless of what channel he is in. If there is no commander in a game mode, then any squad leader can use it. Vehicle chat: for mercs inside same vehicle. -Seeing what games your contacts or in, and jump in their games. -Squad members should be able to see a special symbol above their squad leader's head, and on the minimap to identify the location of their squad leader. This will greatly help with following your squad leader, and general squad cohesion. -Show microphone symbols over the heads of friendlies when they are talking. Also show a microphone symbol on the side of the screen as well as the name of the person talking. This will make knowing who we're talking too much easier. -Considering the importance of teamwork and communication for success in this game, voice chat should be on by default. Sure some players don't want to talk/hear, but they can mute, or turn off voice chat. Right now its confusing to new people who just expect their mic to work when they turn it on.
KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 3064	Posted - 2012.09.11 22:31:00 - [52] - Quote [OUT OF BATTLE FEATURES]: -The starter skill/item-pack or "class" system (arbiter, sentinel,and enforcer) is unfair to those who want to those who want to get a headstart with a logistics player because of a lack of option for starter logistics skills and equipment. There should be an option to just start with no skill books, and no items, but gives the player more ISK and SP equivalent to a starter class, and let the player pick his/her own starting skills and and buy our own starting equipment. -Selling salvage -Dropships are difficult to pilot + lack of BPOs = a lot of lost ISK and destroyed dropships just for practice. Better methods of training are needed. A virtual reality training mode would be awesome for practice. -Filters for the Battlefinder server browser. Options to sort through them by region, game mode, number of players, map, and battle level (beginner, intermediate, veteran). -Switching characters should be doable from the merc quarters. -Instant Battle should NEVER tell me a server is full. It should keep looking until it finds one. -At the end of every battle, there should be a "net ISK gained" count that is obtained from subtracting how much ISK-worth of items lost from how much ISK was earned in the battle. To prevent complications related to the player driven market (which could cause prices of an item to fluctuate a lot), the ISK lost will be based on the price the player payed for the items regardless of current market value. [DEATH/REVIVES/RESPAWN]: -Confirmation that the player pressed square to call medic when downed, like a voice calling for help. This currently isn't much of a problem, but feedback to the player is needed to let them know that he feature works. Perhaps a bleedout timer should appear. -The hitbox on downed teammates is way too small for the nanite injector, and makes it annoyingly tricky to position one's self correctly next to a downed player to revive them, Often times when I stand right on top of a downed teammate, I still can't see the option to revive them because of this issue. -ACCEPT/DENY options options when being revived, in which you have 5 seconds to stay on the ground before choosing to accept or to deny the revive. -Tabs in the fit selection screen, and the ability to organize out fits into which tabs we want. Currently it can be very time consuming to select the right fit when we have a lot. -Restock from fitting selection screen. -Allow us to check the player list, and see the team scores while at deployment location screen. [ITEMS]: -Very cheap militia LAVs and Dropships with no turrets. A cheap dropship with no turrets would really be great for cheap squad transport, but wouldn't be "overpowered" flying death machines since they won't have turrets; they would also be great cheap ways to practice. I ask for a very cheap turretless LAV because in case BPO ones get removed. -More variants of existing weapons. Would provide more gameplay options and variety. I especially want the weaker "sniper" rifle optimized for mid/close range combat. [AESTHETIC]: -Because each dropsuit type is manufactured by different corporations from different races, they should therefore have varying HUD graphics and coloring when it comes to their health meter, stamina meter, ammo meter, and minimap. This would really add a sense of variety which would keep the game from getting stale visually. -More various and brighter colors are needed. The game still looks kind of boring.
KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 3064	Posted - 2012.09.11 22:38:00 - [53] - Quote People are likely to hate this but... JETPACKS: Jetpacks can be balanced, can be useful, and are inherently fun. [HOW THEY SHOULD WORK] Jepacks could be equiped on equipment slots: They would be small enough not to have be be delivered by RDV's, the lack of waiting for delivery would make it very handy to have, and not restrict the use of other vehicles by adding to the vehicle limit. Jetpacks should take 5 or 6 seconds to activate: this will prevent people from using them to cower out of gun battles. Guns cannot be used while jetpack is active: This will keep them from being overpowered. There should be high CPU/PG costs: This will prevent everyone from overusing it. Jetpacks should have very limited climb: This will prevent people from being able to fly up high on top of towers to camp. Jetpacks flight should be limited by regenerating power system similar to infantry stamina (maybe 15-20 seconds of continuous flight): This will prevent people from being in the air for too long. Players with active jetpacks should be susceptible to swarm launcher lock-on and fire. [USEFULNESS] Jetpacks would be very useful for logistics suits, especially for flying past enemies to plant drop uplinks for his team to spawn, or flying to downed players to revive. Jetpacks shouldn't be too fast so others can still shoot them effectively as they shoot running players; this will keep them for being abused as quick escapes. Jetpacks would be considerably useful for scouts to get on to of buildings to spot and call out enemy locations for their team, and provide covering fire. Jetpacks would be useful for general travel on large battlefields if a player needs to travel alone in which extra seats aren't needed. Some might think lone travelers imply lack of teamwork, or lone-wolves, but travelling alone can be useful for the team if the player is acting as a distraction, or sneaking behind enemies to hunt them down (which prevents them from getting to objectives), or to call out their positions. * Jetpacks don't have to look or even fly like anything like conventional jetpacks. It could even look like a more vertical version of the inertia dampener animation with a different color effect or something.
KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 3064	Posted - 2012.09.11 22:45:00 - [54] - Quote PVE AGAINST NATIVE LIFE: I know we are getting PVE against rogue drones, but there is another option for PVE missions as well. We know there are aliens in New Eden, and fighting native life on planets; extraterrestrial encounters is one of the greatest and most exciting aspects in the genre of space scifi. I am not asking for little green men, humanoids, or anything with human-like intelligence, but just animals adapted to their environments. Imagine fighting insect-like animals the size of of an elephant, or creatures similar to dinosaurs. [HOW/WHY]: You're hired to secure a location, or objective on a planet that happens to have life evolved on it. The mission site is full of hostile and predatory wildlife that you must fend off until the mission is complete. This is pretty simple, but it would offer a much greater variety of PVE enemies besides drones, and this would just be really cool. inb4 no other life forms on EVE http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Flora_and_fauna_(NPCs) http://community.eveonline.com/background/potw/default.asp?cid=may03 http://community.eveonline.com/background/potw/default.asp?cid=jan04 http://community.eveonline.com/background/potw/default.asp?cid=apr03 http://community.eveonline.com/background/potw/default.asp?cid=jun01 http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Achuran_songbird http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Colelian_Spider_Spruce http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Dorga_Roes http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Nidupadian_Yorak_Eggs
flegmat tropku Algintal Core Gallente Federation 23	Posted - 2012.09.13 12:50:00 - [55] - Quote New game modes: 1. Hit and run: Strike on an enemy outpost to steal technology, capture person etc. and then escape to extraction zone with it. (one sided variation of "capture the flag") 2. Assassination: Kill a high ranking enemy person (non player character) before he/she escapes. 3. Sabotage/defend: Destroy enemy installations and defend your own before the time runs out 4. Conquer/defend outpost. Defending team fortified, attacking team trying to break through and capture the facility. 5. Building a "beachhead": Complete building enough clone reanimation units, defensive structures and fortifications before the time runs out while the other team is trying to prevent it. - Should be the first type of mission(s) on any new planet or a continent on a planet. And to make things even more complicated, combination of two of these and assigning different goals for the teams e.g. attacking team trying to sabotage while the defending team is trying to assassinate etc. Should the chances of achieving the goals be equal for the both teams? Erh..well no. Life is not fair and especially not in war..that's where those with skill have their chances to shine. Naturally this wouldn't work if people cannot choose which type of battles they fight as the nature of having different types of objectives obviously demands specialized teams for the special tasks. Currently we have only two types of game modes and we cannot even choose between which type we prefer to play and I believe this has not been also the final intention of the developers. At least all this talk about specializing into different types and methods of operating suggests strongly into this direction and I just can't wait this to happen.
