One of the things that most excited me about the world of DUST 514 was that each battle would be fought in an actual place. That the game would unfold in a persistent world, and that each time you went to fight on one of the districts on any one of thousands of planets, that district would have the same landscape.
Perhaps a new set of buildings. Maybe different weather or plant life if any sort of season or day night cycle was put in place.
So far in beta I have not really felt a sense of place, or that I am fighting in a persistent world.
WIll we ever move beyond the lobby shooter with a few maps to cycle through that we are currently playing? Will we ever get to fight in New Eden?
If they fix the majority of the glaring problems with the spawning system that would be the more important thing to focus on and resolve. We have a lot of new players pouring into the beta and getting spawn trapped is no fun.
But in a short while those new players won't be new any more. Will they find themselves wondering, as I do, if there is anywhere else to go? Anything else to do?
WIll maps give us a sense of place? Or will they always be a random cycle of increasingly prolific rotation of procedurally generated versions of ambush and skirmish?
Two word explanation: Open Beta
More then two word explanation: Of course we'll be moving on, but we have to fix the major bugs glitches, balance issues, and various other things. Testing maps, touching up orbital bombardment (Although it's alright). I mean we're still in the stages of the maps where we don't have flora, let alone vegetation, grass, trees. Plenty of things we still need to add before we can truly move (Charge) onward. |

Keep in mind, there are around 7000(!) planets in New Eden, in a few years we'll hopefully have all 7000 planets each with their unique districts and types (magma, desert, grassland) to be played on. So inevitably it'll feel like a persistent world.
Magma... Plasma... Storm... Ice...
Imagine playing on plasma or storm, even magma!
Magma and storm NO SHIELDS!
Plasma and Ice No armor!
Or random planet stats that effect your suits and dmg and oh god~ the possibilities. |

Random explosive littering the field. gass pipes exploding all around you, shooting down power lines into water. melting a hole in the ice.
God imagine all of the things ccp could put in. |
