"[REQUEST] Weapon customization: Subsystem, Rigging, Slots, or Add-ons
- The design for this is ready, but it is a very large task to implement it in-game. Expect this at a later date."

New weapons are already coming.

We will get more maps. The game is set in a universe with tens of thousands of planets each with multiple districts each with multiple maps. Watch this for more about map building in Dust 514:

The most recent player count announced was 24 vs 24 (48 players total), so I would expect the player count to be going up anyway. "massive online battles of up to 48 players" http://www.dust514.com/game/

Anyway this stuff is already coming, so there is no reason to cut PVE. If you don't want to do PVE, then don't play it. I want it, and I'm not the only one.

We also don't want non stop PVP in this "MMO", we want social areas, gambling and other things, Sorry but I totally agree with PvE elements to this game. This is not a random shooter, it'll cater to many people.

Yes the genre matters or there wouldn't be a genre in the first place and CCP said it in their own words we are trying to create a FPS because we felt creating another Eve was not the best thing for a new frontier.

If they put passive SP in , this game will be the laffing stock of the FPS community . A game that rewards you for not playing it as Yahtzee puts it is a huge mistake. I understand you like it in Eve but stop trying to recreate Eve with different avatars. If all you do is scream Eve to PS3 players it goes in one ear and out the other because no one cares about Eve. Only dust is the main concern of PS3 players and that has been called a FPS.

If you dont like PvP , why are you even in a beta that wants to have galaxy conquering as a major factor of gameplay. Do you think your going to take over a planet by never fighting another player?

SP is a major factor in Dust and if you dont keep it tied to PvP matches you run the risk of FPS players finding that SP is more of a time waster then a Progression through Dust. Like I said before why would you play Pvp and lose fittings plus kdr at a faster rate then just coasting through Pve. All it will do is make a RPG where you Pve till you get all your skills then clan up and do raids defeating the purpose of a FPS.

I would never go to a RPG forum and complain this game is turned base. Or Rant about a RTS and say all we do is harvest materials and build units that auto shoot enemies.

Guys, it wasn't until after I posted my comment that I realized this thread is just so old that one of us was necroing it.

Please do not add PvE. I'd much rather have different game modes, sights, customization of weapons, new maps, new weapons, more players in matches, more ammo types for existing weaps, better balancing but not over-nerf, etc., etc., etc.

PvE detracts from skill. More mercs fighting mercs is the way it should be. This game has a risk factor to game play, and PvE makes people feel safe, even if it's "really brutal lol". Mercs should be the ones who destroy another merc's ISK and AUR.

514 is not EVE. If people want PvE in a game, they can play EVE. That's good for CCP because it might make some 514 players play EVE too. The games are connected, but they don't need to be the same.





ps I'd be fine w/some bots to test weaps on. I don't really consider that PvE because it's just for PvP training, and no isk/sp are earned.




Edit: The rest of my posts are on the bottom of this page and on page 3.

If you recall anything PVE related in Eve, random players can scan you down in the star system and interrupt your PVE duh. There are corporations in Eve dedicated to doing just that... usually for the sake of baiting players in the middle of their PVE mission. Would be fun if I see that in DUST.

PvP for the real players

PvE to keep the kids/garbage players/codbois off the field.


who cares. they can't handle playing against real humans, they need AI to fight against.


and yet, they still complain that they don't get enough reward from PvE and will start bitching that the rewards for PvE and PvP are equal.

because, y'know, lets face it...

if you gotta play PvE to have fun, you really aren't that good at gaming and prolly shouldn't be playing 514 anyway.

Peace
