The beautiful thing about CCP is that DUST 5 years from now will be a totally different game from DUST at release |

This would let them either practice against corp mates (perhaps a personal option for friendly fire on/off would make sense here) and figure out what the map is actually like. It doesn't make sense to be able to deploy to just anyone's piece of land, but also doesn't make sense to go to defend your district and say "great, now which way is the enemy"
This is more important than most people probably realize, ESPECIALLY depending on if / how we can place buildings and defensive structures. Finding strong locations for strongholds or important resources will be an artform, and running defensive drills will go a long way towards fending off enemy invaders. |

Matchmaking.
You could play the game for years and never ONCE step foot on the ground outside of combat. Or, it could be the other way around. You could play for years and not fire a single bullet. So long as neither option is FORCED on anyone, everyone can just play how they like. |

If you want to wander the desert for fourty years you're at the wrong game.
Who are you to tell me how to play the game? I take it you don't like mining in EVE. If they litter the planets with loot, enemies, resources, etc, exploring will be a profession in its own right. This game has such incredible potential to appeal to a wide variety of gamers, and provide a lot of options for everything that you do. |

We're talking about the idea of being able to openly walk around areas you own, like districts you hold in Faction Warfare or planets you own in null-sec.
Walking around your Hab-room and the war room is grating and clunky enough as it is, why you would ever want a free-roam aspect of that i'll never understand.
So because an aspect of gaming doesn't appeal to you, it couldn't possibly appeal to anyone else?
Stfu buddy. |

So they should let all that prerendered terrain go to waste? You're so narrow minded man, it's a damn shame. It literally wouldn't effect you, at all, what so ever, while simultaneously giving others a different aspect to work from. Some people won't EVER touch PvP in this game, and will just kill drones, or, if we can roam, will roam around exploring and finding resources and such.
Get over yourself.
EDIT: Also, this is CCP. Just because it's not available at launch doesn't mean it will never be available. The sky is the limit with them, well, that and technical limitations, though they seem to be pretty good with working with the tools available to them. |

And that's why you have resources planet side that can only be found by dusters through use of exploration skills. This game is going to have a TON of players, you won't miss a few spelunkers. |

This game is going to have a TON of players, you won't miss a few spelunkers. No, you -think- it will have a ton of players, and to achieve that it has to have a dedicated and addicted gameplay, which it doesn't have yet. It's riddled with bugs and unimaginative gameplay aside from the financial aspects, so how about we stick to what the game is being marketed as initially before we go aiming for the ifs and buts, eh chief?
If you'll notice, I specifically stated that this could easily come down the pipe, and not at release. As I said before.
Get over yourself.
EDIT: To clarify, I'm not saying that this will or even should be available at release (though I'd certainly enjoy it, personally). All I'm saying is the potential for free roam gameplay is HUGE and to not at least put that on the table for discussion is downright stupid.
EDIT 2: And while I'm here (don't want to double post lol), free roaming, even without resources or ANYTHING, would still be a HUGE boon to those of us who are more tactically inclined. Instead of just dropping your bases and defensive installations wherever, we want to get a feel for the lay of the land. We want to find good areas to hold, areas that are difficult for enemy armor to move through, areas that funnel our enemies as they advance on us.
Being able to free roam will let us actually find those locations, instead of landing and just dropping installations haphazardly around. When you think about it, free roam, at it's base, is as simple a matter as removing the red zones on districts that aren't currently contested / owned / in the middle of a fight. |
