DUST Search - Why are there only two game modes ?

While i agree the game needs more modes, and the list created above has some interesting ideas that can be implmented with what CCP has in mind... just remember a lot of those would be sticking to hisec.

The whole point is every battle means something, so its not like you will ever see a FFA game mode, and connecting to that, some of those listed dont fit with the style CCP has set forward in creating games. At the same time im sure CCP can get creative with it, and maybe build off some of those ideas.

Atm I am actually fine with skirmish and ambush; they SHOULDNT be focusing on new modes, they have bigger priorities, like fixing lag issues on the bigger maps and being able to chew what they have right now. No need to fill the mouth with more food when they cant fit it in, or they are bound to choke. Both developers AND PLAYERS should realize this.

Edit: and if someone says "Well of course, but we should atleast get them thinking in that direction," im sure CCP has brainstormed in other possibilities, and im not against the creation of this thread, just saying dont get too riled up about it. This game is very ambitious, almost TOO ambitious, and they have a lot more then even lag issues to think of

Logi Bro ZionTCD Legacy Rising 836	Posted - 2012.10.09 02:44:00 - [2] - Quote Agree. I wasn't here for it, though apparently in the very first build there was some kind of one side attacks, the other side defends game mode? Can we have that back?

Skirmish originally was a 2 stage attack and defense game mode. With one side on the attack and the other playing defense. It was much better than skirmish 2.0.

I don't think the idea is scrapped, they'll probably call it something else. Skirmish kinds states 2 sides fighting it out, so I don't know, they might bring it back and call it siege

It was cool because you felt like you were progressing if you were on offense, even if it was slow and defense was all about hunkering down. They're going to need to buff the health of those first few defense stations, though, it was waaaay too easy to just destroy them and not worry about hacking. Also, small turrets!

Got to save something for release =) Right now the goal is to make the engine work and not crash ... once the game is released, further bug fixes will come, but it'll be content development time. Arena already coming next year, non tempered planets as well, PvE and more We just get the really short end of the stick cause we are in the Beta =/

Fivetimes Infinity Immobile Infantry 1086	Posted - 2012.10.09 03:51:00 - [13] - Quote Let's be fair, it's really 1.5 game modes. Team death match is so played out, it really doesn't deserve to be called a legitimate game mode on its own.

I'm done with hi-sec as soon as that comes out, same as I was with EVE 2 weeks after I started playing.
Skihids Tritan-Industries Legacy Rising 969	Posted - 2012.10.09 04:19:00 - [15] - Quote I want a FarmVille match mode where all the LAV washers can go to farm rather than ruin Skirmish for the rest of us. CCP can just copy Skirmish under a different name. Maybe even just a hot fix.
Enkidu Camuel Tritan-Industries Legacy Rising 69	Posted - 2012.10.09 04:47:00 - [16] - Quote I saw one thing that caught my attention in the introductory video when you made your char, there's something called "Drone Infestation" I guess that's somekind of PVE game mode... that or it's a corp contract mission.
Ten-Sidhe Osmon Surveillance Caldari State 414	Posted - 2012.10.09 05:58:00 - [17] - Quote They said there will be several types of pve, only one they mentioned was vs rouge drones. If it is like EvE, pve can turn into pvp when enemy crashes your pve mission. This is not common, but happens from time to time.

Don't think so ... unlike Eve, battles will be instance based .. .there's no universe traversal for us
Galthur CrimeWave Syndicate 22	Posted - 2012.10.10 01:37:00 - [19] - Quote Well as said there is 3 because we are currently playing Skirmish 2.0, the original had a offensive/defensive line of turrets, then a fallback line of turrets for defense where offense is trying to disable 3 AA guns long enough for their MCC that is slowly flying over the map to get "out of range" and dock with a out of map base and defense is trying to keep their AA guns online and with the keeping turrets alive and capturing/destroying CRU's being critical

With only two game modes this game isn't going to keep peoples attention tbh. It's a situational test. You know how many game modes there will be when the game launches? 1. Not ambush, not skirmish, but fighting over a district. Within that district, however, there will probably be some small ambush/skirmish-like situations. Just like how these "maps" are just testing how some structure and terrain types work out. Not sure how people keep forgetting that.

Mavado V Noriega SyNergy Gaming 2283	Posted - 2012.10.10 02:38:00 - [21] - Quote we still havent gotten to test the planetary conquest mode with the player controlled MCC oh and KotH, CTF etc will be in gladiator arenas but yea we need some other core modes, im down for an escort/convoy mode tbh

I feel the district conquest needs to be something is unique to dust. right now ambush = TDM skrimish = BF3's conquest mode.. District wide battles need to be involved from ground troops to MCC to Fleet in space when that integration gets here.
CLONE 2774 Tritan-Industries Legacy Rising 83	Posted - 2012.10.10 02:49:00 - [23] - Quote Guys we are getting a drone extermination/survival mode(You get paid to clear the drone infestation of a district) and gladiator mode(Also includes gambling/betting) im sure there will be more in the future.
