You consistently respected the player base, and even encouraged its misdemeanors GÇö turning them to the game's advantage.
I think there's no denying the fact that Dust514 is aiming to keep the spirit of EVE alive, through a new console experience that's faster, more intense but as compelling and engaging in every way.
It's a game concept meant to innovate the FPS genre by including customization mechanics and player involvement like never before GÇö one where a single person may change the tides of the battle.
But even if some of the game's mechanics are involving, some principles remain the same. Skirmish is about taking objectives, and Ambush is about scoring points.
Ambush is somehow very off-concept. It does not promote player cooperation, it doesn't allow each player to have a role of importance, and it doesn't allow for "unexpected player behavior" where all the fun is about taking advantage of the environment or certain game aspects.
It's merely an arena like every other FPS out there GÇö which is probably a constraint that you have in building this game GÇö but I'm sure you can work around this and make Ambush the actual "ambush" it's supposed to be.
What's that, you say ? Ask the player base, as you always do, they have ideas. But please don't leave this as is just for the sake of simplicity or market demand.
Dust514 may be available at no cost, but the currency players are paying with is time. I'm ready to spend my time in something awesome.
So like most posts here I'll ask you for the impossible GÇö make my awesome happen :)
Think yourself lucky we get to test dust, we are here to test......that's our role, they need for us to test ambush which is why they took down the battle finder and are making us use instant battle. I don't like ambush either but we have to test what they NEED us to test. As much as I don't like team deathmatch modes (thanks to cod) ambush IS starting to grow on me. If you don't like ambush then wait it out until they bring back battle finder, if you don't wish to wait it out.......then suck it up and do what you're here to do..............TEST!
