Instead of being like Battlefield 3 with a really fancy room that you wait in.
This game is marketed as an MMO, touted as being on a scale that is unprecedented, and right now, it has absolutely nothing over the vast amount of other shooters out right now that have pretty much the same mechanics. Maybe not the same skill system and fitting system, but I'm not such a big fan of that anyway in this game... not the point though.
This game needs SOMETHING to make it an MMO. Some open world. Something explorable. Some city, open land, I don't know, SOMETHING, especially a something where we can interact with others outside of the battlefield.
Can we ever expect something like this? |

I've played Eve for quite a long time.
I can assure you that, as it is right now, Eve has absolutely no explorable spaces for Dust players. It has essentially the same small room that we have in Dust with slightly different functions... |

Can we ever expect something like this? Sorry to break this for you but open world or something explorable isn't a requirement for MMO game. It just means a online multiplayer game with massive amount of players able to interact together.
Missed the point. |

I never said it did. You implied it wasn't an MMO unless it had those things. You're misisng the point that none of the MMO aspect is really in place yet. It's a beta. It's not done. We're currently testing the basic gameplay.
No, I implied that it isn't an MMO unless it has some function to interact with other players on a very large scale, I.E. the statement...

This is a beta that's supposed to be released later this year and no comment has been made on how it will function as an MMO instead of just Battlefield 3 with a really fancy room. |

Obviously not long enough ... have you not heard about 'Walking in Stations' and the bars and lounges and casinos n everything else that will enable. This was the whole reason behind the full on upgrade of the character customization and the Aurum clothes market and the new station quarters rather than the old ship spinning hanger. The whole social scene outside that station quarters door is Soon TM but development of the FPS client has taken a priority at the moment which for one ... I'm quite pleased about !!
.....
All of that (which is called Incarna) is considered pretty much abandoned and has been for what, a year now? Over a year now? It was pretty much completely abandoned after a massive loss of player base after the captain's quarters was presented.I don't think you know what you're talking about.... And FYI, they switched back to letting players have the ship spinning hangar. No one uses the captain's quarters... |

Maybe that's not what you meant, but that's what your post said. Selinate deux wrote:This game needs SOMETHING to make it an MMO. Some open world. Something explorable. Some city, open land, I don't know, SOMETHING, especially a something where we can interact with others outside of the battlefield. (emphasis added by me) If that's what you're looking for, you may be in for a long wait. You're thinking too much in the traditional WoW-esque idea of an MMO. EVE still doesn't have anything yet like that and it's been in development for 10 years. We still can't walk around a station and explore or socialize. We're confied to our quarters just like in DUST. EVE has chat channels and mail, both of which DUST already has. If you're looking for ways to interact with lots of players through the market, politics, and warfare, that will almost certainly be in by release, probably by open beta later this year. Corps are coming by the end of this month.
If you have trouble reading, that's your problem. What I said is very clear in that we need something where we can interact outside the battlefield, implied on a very large scale, in order to make this an MMO and no comment has been made on what this will involve. I know what Eve has and is, I've been playing it for a VERY long time, but it does have it's own way of delivering exactly what is required for a game to be an MMO, where there is a universe of players that can freely interact socially on a large scale, which Dust doesn't really have and the comment on how it will be an MMO has not been made yet.
You can speculate all you want also. I asked a very clear question that has not been answered. Currently, we just have an FPS with a very nice room. What is going to make this game an MMO? |
