Doesn't make sense lore wise, why would an NPC (or an EVE player) just hire 1 merc? This game is an MMO where we fight over territory for NPCs, for EVE Online players, and for ourselves.
When "Gladiator Arena" E-sports come, modes like this will make sense: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=36038&find=unread
Not really sure what you mean by "condescending" in this context, maybe you're using the word wrong. |

Thats not what condescending means, it means stooping to someone else's level, or looking down on them. I think what you're talking about is battles in high security (low risk space) games where you can jump into battles with Instant Battle matchmaking, but those are still contracts from NPCs. You might be right, but please link your source. As far as I know, Gladiator Arena was the only thing being announced which non-contract battles will happen.
That being said, i want a deathmatch mode, as well as a variety of crazy modes that don't necessarily fit with contracts. I don't think those have a place lore-wise until we can fight for sport in Gladiator Arena though (coming 2013). |

Its to demean something, so in a small tiny way you are correct, but its not to actually stoop to anyone's level. If I was to say something repetitive, I would be stooping to someone's level. But if I was condescending I would say the same thing over and over. A demeaning repetition, is what you are looking for... To what condescending means. An references. First Condescend(I hope merriam-webster explain it simple enough for your mentality.) www.m-w.com/dictionary/condescendPlease stay on topic next time... I know its fun to wonder off the trail and sniff flowers, but I'm tryin to talk about a game-mode that should be on Dust514. Now this video might lose you and confuse you... An might obscure you a bit, I'm sure it wont be the guys accent... The guy is very smart but how explain stuff... Is beyond your level . This guy is smart. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNmCRti9dFM&feature=relmfuThat video is the "Seeding the universe" introduction.. The mechanics of the game engine... I hope you are able to understand it. This might be a lil bit easier for you to understand Kage... http://www.dualshockers.com/2012/04/16/interview-ccp-games-cmo-david-reid-explains-why-dust-514-is-one-to-watch-this-year/This guy gives a bit more simpler logic of things... `Hopefully it be on your level. Please, try to stay on topic and don't day dream off to something other.
Omg... I'm trying to help you out because you completely misuse a common simple word, and you react to me with hostility? How can you look up the definition, yet not notice you are the one using the word completely wrong? You don't know what demean means either *facepalm* If you don't know how to use a word its fine with me; English isn't my first language, so it might not be yours either, but to be so rude and confident about your incorrect knowledge is pretty silly. In the interview you linked, they said contracts can be from computer controlled corporation (NPC corporation) for simple "pick up and play", or player/EVE corps. There was no mention of battles without contracts. |

Free-for-all would break that condescending feeling you'd get with the game. The game has that sense of condescend... `If you screw up... You spending chedda for it.
Deathmatch would be the `breathe of fresh air... The break in the redundant, routine in life... To play on closed maps off of eve or a arena on eve...
Alll Just so... YOU CAN KILL EVERYONE STANDING IN YOUR WAY!!!!! No worries.
But i understand the animosity of it, some of you may be too slow or not got the ninja reflexs like me... TO toss a gernade on fridge... Gotta be ninja to have that style.
Stay on topic.
If you don't want to lose money, don't use up more than you'll make in the battle. Example: If you use a 20k fit, and die 2 times, then you lose 40k. If the battle gives you 100k reward however, you make a net gain of 60k (100k - 40k = 60k). Just make sure your losses don't surpass your gains. You can also just use militia gear, and starter fits. Militia gear won't be unlimited use for long, but they will be so cheap that you will still be able to afford them with no problem even if you do extremely terribly. The starter fits will always be unlimited. |

Xiree wrote:Great to see some of this enthusiasm towards free for all... I've seen its been already appointed that Deathmatch may be a small past time into Dust514. For all that acclaim, I'm not a OCD --err-- COD person. COD sucks ... I like Battlefield. I often wish Battlefield had a Deathmatch as they did implament a standard Team-Deathmatch.
@Zero > I've used condescending correctly, in numerous ways. I don't mind the trolls... How could you be bothered by anyone, who is needing attention like they do? With their multile... Alternative... Personality / User names ... Who would really care what a moron like that thinks?
I've insulted? What insults... I've not condescended to trying to evaluate usages of a word, to attempt to degrade anyone... As you and a few others have. <<< That isn't a insult. It is a characterization of you.
@ KAGEHOSHI > This post is not about word usage, but yet you keep posting about it trying to insist I'm using it wrong and as you and your pals, troll my post... To only break its topic into a word usage issue . I've used the word correctly numerous of times. I even explained it for you, several of times. If you can't understand my example and merriam-webster.com example. I believe you are lost, my little firend .
The only thing you have "helped" is an consistent attempt to make this a argumentative post. Yet you are failing, so much at it.
I am not worried about dying in battle. I just think, the game should have a deathmatch. When you die in game... You have that small, (*&% I HAVE TO buy more dropsuits. I only buy a few at a time... An it gets real tedious and condescending to need to STOP and buy some more dropsuits. The deathmatch will be a more instantaneous, quick gameplay... You wont have to constantly get aggravated from losing those points.
@Thomas COD sucks... Battlefield is better but I think Battlefield should have a Deathmatch... Not just squad DM or Team Deathmatch.
@Anyone else who gots a problem with understanding the word condescending. I posted a link to merriam-webster dictionary. Feel free to understand its definition or attempt to at least. If Merriam-webster can't help you, I fear no one can. They also have a children dictionary, as well.
@People who disagree ... How would it be a bad idea -- why would it be a bad idea ??
@People who agree ... Rock ON!
Nothing in the dictionary you linked said anything about "repetitive", only confirmed that the word means lowering yourself (or descending) from a higher status to a lower status. It says it right there on the page that you linked, and you don't see it even though you're the one who linked it? This is the definition you linked: "to descend to a less formal or dignified level" (like i said) "to assume an air of superiority" (exemplified by looking/talking down to someone, like GarryKE said) No mention of "repeating", or "repetitive". I previously told you it was to stoop to someone else's level, and look at the synonyms on the page you listed: "Synonyms: deign, stoop" Consider the components of the word condescend. Con + descend, and descend means to go down, or lower. Just by looking at the word, it should be obvious that it has something to do with lowering, and not repeating.
My posts weren't just about your incorrect word use, it was also about your completely uncalled for rudeness. When someone tries to tell you the definition of a word, why do you have to resort to insults?
I gave you advice on how to not loose fittings, and how to still make net gains despite losing fittings.
I also explained to you why we can't have it outside of Gladiator Arena, but you wouldn't listen. It does not fit with the contract system, and nothing in the interview you linked mentioned anything about game modes not based on issued contracts, only that some battle contracts will be from computer-controlled NPC corporations like I already told you. Others who disagree already gave you explanations, just scroll up and read.
Its like you didn't even check what the sites said before linking them. I get it! you must be a troll . It all makes sense now, the ridiculous ideas, the completely misunderstanding of sources that you link, linking sources that prove yourself wrong, resorting to insults when someone disagrees with you. It all makes sense now, you had me worried someone could really be that ridiculous for a while. I'm done here, and congratulations on the trolling skills. |

No, that only works on ignorance. |
