DUST Search - What has CCP done right?

Sextus Hardcock wrote:

So here's the topic. List all the things CCP has gotten right about this game. Its about time we take a second, and look at what is good and what works, and stop focusing on what doesn't.

1. Distinctive Weapon sounds.
I like this a lot. It gives me instant feedback regarding the tactical situation.

2. Taking Cover
Fire and movement is influenced by the terrain. I like that I can take cover during a fire fight and that it isn't first guy to shoot wins.

3. Rock Paper Scissors
Laser beats AR at laser's optimal, Shotgun beats Laser at its optimal, etc etc.

4. Market system
Incentive to not charge in and die to get a kill. Will obviously improve once its a free market system.

5. Modules and skills
Supports a lot of different fitting ideas instead of picking a class and a weapon. Gives an extremely high amount of customization and we'll probably see different corps using squad doctrines (fast, armor tank, ranged, balanced etc...)

6. OBs
People in another persistent MMO game can influence the battle on the ground. This will just get more interesting the more CCP implements features.

I'll just leave it at that, post with your favorite feature of this game. Give the Devs something to look at other than Nerf Scissors it beats my Paper!

I really think it's a fair exponential learning curve and you have to consider a lot of possible options after spending enough SP.

I really think it's a fair exponential learning curve and you have to consider a lot of possible options after spending enough SP. address, no. it's a guess, and a serious one, not a troll. there are core skills in DUST that should have priority over dropsuit and gunplay. Most EVE players will spot it after about ten minutes of study. Get to dropsuits 1, get a relevant gun skill to 3, then grind cores. Once cores are ground out, then grind dropsuits and weapons to max and all the time enjoy violently large increases in dropsuit fitting power and efficiency. If that's not what you're talking about i can list them off if you like.
polarzus ZionTCD Legacy Rising 19	Posted - 2013.01.17 21:50:00 - [12] - Quote You're absolutely right - if you're familiar with Eve -> you described it exactly as it is. But I'm sure you will agree that the skill system is well balanced between grinding your SP and exploring different possible dropsuit fittings. I would be happy as well if CCP would implement more skills but I guess one can not build the whole idea at the beginning.

All of the above, plus: Working around the clock to make sure that we get the best. Striking the deal with Sony and no micro$oft. Making it free to play. Actually caring about the community. Taking notice of the community input and putting it to use.

R F Gyro ZionTCD Legacy Rising 315	Posted - 2013.01.17 23:31:00 - [18] - Quote Gain 10 years of back-story development almost instantly. Gain almost a year of player feedback over where any other developer would be at the start of an open beta. Micro-transactions without Pay2Win (yeah, yeah, I know some people don't agree this isn't P2W) Help push Sony into opening up to an entirely new commercial model
Sextus Hardcock Pink Fluffy Bounty Hunterz RISE of LEGION 63	Posted - 2013.01.17 23:35:00 - [19] - Quote I'm a late comer to Dust (but I played eve for a few years so, well I helped pay the bills) anyway Thanks to the bittervets in the community who have helped shape this game into what it is, because I think its got a lot of potential. It may not seem like it, but I assure you, CCP has taken (at least) some of what you've said into account during the ongoing design.
