People are capable of thinking on the fly and coming up with ideas...aka problem solving. Computers are not actually capable of that yet. And we're not quite close enough to the point were we have Minds like from an Iain M. Banks book or I, Robot or anything approaching that.

Smaller system? I didn't buy bf3 because of the beta . No that is not why and you know it. Your just trying to goat me into swearing at you and I'm not. Sp in co op will hugely effect pvp that your staying who cares about .its different to and I want it because I don't like shooters statement. If your such a fan of pvp then it doesn't matter your only getting isk from co op because its a side mission from the main part of dust.

have you seen it done in another game no.

Please do not use a different genre to counter my point , since you went right for Eve a MMORPG the answer is no you do not know any FPS that uses Pve and is considered competitive. If this was a RPG beta then your argument would be sound and i say your right no ifs or buts about it.

Also I don't hate Pve , I just don't think you should earn SP from it . Play it all day and enjoy it with friends all day but SP should only be earned during matches with out players only to tell players yes dust can compete as a competitive shooter and not just a major Co op game.

And also for the above poster from second page. That was a single player game. Trying to make a system run it for an online game would be difficult due to not all npc's being on the same side.

Of course it is, how many people post feedback for changes and things they do not want?

I post feedback that favours an improvement to BALANCE, not feedback that favours my playstyle and makes it stronger.

I don't want "non combat" areas. PvP should be the only focus, or preparing for it. If character customization is ever implemented, players should earn the right to use it through PvP. They shouldn't even get a nice room to start.

One other assessment from the OP that needs revision is the misconception that all development resources are drawn from one pool. Development teams are assigned different areas within which they work and developers are hired/assigned based on the skills required to fulfill their given role within product creation. I like many of the things on the list in the OP, but to assume that working on one aspect of the game directly diminishes focus on another aspect is simply inaccurate.

Good point. I believe there is some crossover, but I have no idea to what degree.

Maybe because you want balance in the game? Do you make suggestions to make the game imbalanced? Does your style of play not favor a balanced game?

The title is provocative so people will post their opinion about PvE. Obviously, PvE will be in the game.

And this fits the definition of "trolling" if you look at it the right way.

My apologies if you took it that way. I meant it more to arouse or stimulate thought and discussion. I did not see another thread that articulating my sentiments on the planned content. To avoid seeming contentious, I made an attempt not to specifically discredit or criticize other people's opinions about PvE.

I feel that the title is justifiable because I'm fairly certain that players are able to give their feedback on content that has happened or will happen. I have no delusions that the devs will change what they have already planned because of this thread. This thread is simply how I feel about coming changes. It's my feedback, and although I knew that some players would vehemently disagree with my feedback, I gave it anyways. I have not, and will not, criticize anyone's opinions or suggestions made in this thread with regards to PvE. This is to avoid people from feeling like I am just "trolling" them for a response.

But I do like what Cross Atu and a few others have posted. I wouldn't have a problem if PvE is for noobies, and PvPvE is for everyone else.
