RTS mode may not be in for another year or so also its not going to be something your corp is going to let you do on a whim after all 150 million isk MCCs are not cheaply replaced.

If you want something interesting and challenging to do, go drop-shipping.

If you remember, back in the past, in the early cbt. . . There was a Game-Mode that was pretty much Mag like. Then came skirmish, and we all can only hope, that the gamemode will return.

Edit: actually it seems that the old game mode was called skirmish too. Would explain why i cannot remember the name. . .At least the cbt manual still state it as skirmish :I

whats sup techy

Hi Warlord

Movie Lord of War extended is good.
Doing nothing much just waiting to see if we get a new content update as I kill some time with lasers and mass drivers but tick, tock April 2nd is comeing up fast.

I can't even justify this game anymore... It feels like a CoD clone more and more every day.

Is the plan to have an objective driven fps experience interwoven into an MMO economy and territorial warfare?

Or is DUST trying to skip the 20 kill streak it takes to call in drastically superior fire power and map dominance?


I never liked CoD. I played a LOT of mag, over 3 years worth.

The skirmish objectives are a pointless side obstacle to what is really a larger KDR fest than ambush.


That's all I really have to say anymore :\
I played several games tonight, every single one had 1 team launch an early LAV rush to the other side's first objective, and the KDR fest ensued. It has been dominance from the first minute of the game, and the remaining players simply snipe each other for the duration of the game timer...


Or they leave <_< I've been thrown into several battles where the map is already completely red, and the blue dots are all perched for the cold war snipe off... Something should be done about that... Why does it join me to a game that is over before I can even spawn once?

This game needs a complete overhaul. I'm really surprised this is what they've released with their open beta <_<

I play this game now only to grind sp (one of the most annoying grinds of all games I've played) for a future build where the game CCP has really been working on replaces current dust entirely...

Or maybe I'll just go back to strategy pvp games, and leave the cartoon arcade shooters to the CoD fans.

Nope.
The MCC Cestus costs 120 Million ISK for the base model.

And YOU may be ISK poor but some folks run militia/starter/basic and do collect ISK so to the question of if there were a way to purchase a Cestus MCC and give it a custom pirate paint job and call it the Black Pearl then why not??

Then with my purchased MCC and my pirate crew we can respond to a Corporate Contract Challenge with the words:

We ready.
Bring it *****.

This is definitely the worst build of the Beta so far, thanks to the huge influx in players and tiny boost in content.

I was estimating after the new shift of focus of bringing more of the cost to the hulls and less on the modules.

As for updates I have a few.

Manus Peak Ambush (non OMS) now has the southern complexes expanded out of the red zone so you can fight down there on the bottom of the hill.

Next Game Development Blog is on Thursday it will cover the FW blog.

I am not shure how hard they can push the ps3 though, it would be interesting to see how they can though.

One large problem is that instead of dealing with the load balanceing in May they instead opted to cut player counts by 50% from what was then being used.

They have had June, July, August, September, October, November, December, January, Februrary and a good part of March with this issue still unresolved.

2007 MAG had 128 versus 128 player counts versus Dusts 16 and 16 in 2013.
Developer tools have evolved in the years since 2007.

MAG also had a less capable game engine with less detail on almost every level compared with what Unreal Engine can manage. Maybe point to an Unreal Engine game on console with a higher player count than DUST, or a game with similar to EU level of graphics and other capabilities with higher player counts than DUST has at present.

And yes, there ARE games with higher player counts on console than what DUST is currently demonstrating, but as with many things, larger player counts are in the works.

The computers used in 2007 to run the source code for a game and do the final load balancing are in no way ,shape or form comparable to the computers of 2013 that run the source code and do the final load balancing.

A better source code equals a better running game.
Better and more capable computers in turn create better games up to a point.

The fast way of creating a better game is a better and more capable target platform.
The problem is not what is being worked on but instead what actually comes out of the work pipeline ready and stable.

I do agree that the objective driven play is the right way to go, but it needs to be more like MAG. You had goals that unlocked other goals. At the moment it's way too "deathmatchy".

I can't remember which game it was (old, perhaps unreal, perhaps quake, doom...) that has multiplayer maps where you had to rob a missile(or something) from a moving train or truck. We need more sensible action and missions. Intelligent missions. Not like ambush...it's basically a deathmatch. Why not A REAL AMBUSH where their objective would be to escape the ambush or something similar. Like in MAG where they needed to steal the trucks and such.

uhm what mavado?

Mag was not truly a 128 vs 128 though, it fake it though lobby cross talking allowing it to appear there was 128 people on the field when it was in reality 32 vs 32 vs effects of 3 other lobbies where as planetside it is possible to shove 128 people on a nice little bombing run on top of a cliff. Then again which console doesn't cheat? I am sure things like offloading stuff not being viewed is one such old trick that once upon a time wasn't considered before
