Easy.

It's a spectator sport for the billions and billions of regular people all over New Eden.

much like the Pilot Tournaments in EVE and whatnot.

the Caldari had some sort of deathmatch pilot battle that was really popular in the State, but I forgot what it was called. Mind Clash is another popular spectator sport.

same thing here.

honestly, this is something I'd never personally take part it, but I can see where it fits, and its a good idea for those who would partake.

I'd make some ISK wagers on it though.

In fact, I only support this mode on the condition that there is Gambling functionality for those of us unwilling to participate.

ReGnUM STBslayer DEI Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 158	Posted - 2012.10.09 05:05:00 - [1] - Quote FREE-FOR-ALL is a great game mode, and I really enjoy it because it puts emphasis on single player skill. Furthermore, FFA requires a balanced combination of timing, awareness, and gungame. The best part of FFA is that it is supported by a large player base of casuals, and in order for any FPS to be successful you must have a strong casual player base. In previous DUST interviews, many spokesman's have put emphasis on how DUST can be pick-up and play shooter, what better way to do this then implementing a FFA GAME MODE Personally, I am tired of carrying the team in my PROTO-KNAPSACK. The other day I went 42-1 in AMBUSH and lost the game WTF. I would really enjoy the game more if there was a game mode more oriented around personal skill

You could make it a "pirate faction" mode where you are fighting over a certain asset in some backwater star system. You have to kill all the other clones before you can achieve the objective. Make up an objective, something that benefits the Angel cartel, Guristas, whichever. Maybe each player has a certain code they need to enter into an objective that can only be accessed when there are no other players in range. It could have something to do with Sansha's nation. Or even CONCORD. The battles in Dust beta so far have had fairly flimsy narrative ground. A bunch of players each fighting to hang on to their clone supply makes as much sense as a battle between two teams fighting to hang on to their clone supply. It could be a good introductory game mode, to pull individual gamers in (since the "You MUST have a corporation to play DUST!" thing will be intimidating for some players at first) and get them wondering about what else is out there.

In eve pve missions can be scanned down by other players and crashed, there are also fixed complexes with multiple levels that have really good gear at the end. Other players can show up help and kill bots then split loot or try to steal all rewards or themselves, or they may just attack the guy that was doing pve and ignore the bots. Pve/pvp free for all.

Xiree Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 55	Posted - 2012.10.09 10:37:00 - [22] - Quote ONE would just come to speculate under the whole conception of what it is for the point in the logic of the conception of the HEY JUST USE the SEARCH feature... Ya know.. it really makes you wonder, just what it is I am evenly addressing inside the point here... But you know what... wonder not for I'm just kidding.... I think it would be awesome of this FFA TO EVEN exist. Yea its brilliant. I only hope you do take the time to seep through and find the initial FIRST post of the free for all. Read it again if you don't get it. How was this a troll post?
Aeon Amadi Maverick Conflict Solutions 1003	Posted - 2012.10.09 16:35:00 - [23] - Quote I doubt FFA could even be considered a "training mechanic" considering your chances of dying increased by another 15 chances from the people who -could- have been on your team. If anything it would just detract players from wanting to even play with the progressive skill/gear system.

His bounty could be that the winner is the only one who receives loot/salvage. (I am not saying I support FFA as I am not sure how I feel about it, just trying to offer a way it could work within the lore) And I do agree that FFA will attract casuals more (you can decide if that is a +/-)
Gcember Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 123	Posted - 2012.10.09 18:13:00 - [28] - Quote It does not make sense with the game im afraid. An EVE player would not hire one single merc to take a over a whole planet? The game is based on that EVE players hires us DUST players to take over planets, the whole point with this would be gone if this were going to be implemented. IF this would be implemented you would have to come up with an idea why FFA should occur on a planet like the current system with skirmish and ambush.

I don't play EVE but I am pretty sure EVE pilots do simple missions, they don't always take over planets and the like. FFA could be like a quick salvage mission in high sec and instead of fighting off pirates, you fight off other bounty hunters to "win" the right to loot that map...

I like your point, but I must say that if something like FFA would be implemented it should be something like a squadmatch, one squad on its own against all the other squads in the game, that is basically FFA but with 3 mates to rely on, that would fit your description better. A squad is deployed for a quick mission and then realizes that other squads also have been deployed for the same purpose and then the battle begins. +1
