So you want DUST to shamelessly copy Planetside 2. Seems legit.

A 24/7 battle?I thought this game is about win or lose a battle(which affects the FW),not fighting endlessly without an outcom.This concept works in Planetside 2 or it would work in shooters like COD.If u wanna run and gun all day long without an outcom,try one of those.

I like long matches and would be happy to see one that takes an hour or so. Or even a game mode that does not end until a side captures all the objectives, which could last for many hours. I'd like it and have said it many times. Although, instant sp/isk for wp would be needed. I would be rather upset if i played a match for an hour then got disconnected and lost all that sp/isk and i'd probably of dug myself a nice hole with how much isk i spent on the match.

that sounds cool and having a repper would make the game nice and long. Also a side could make a comeback if they held onto a repper long enough.

i really like this idea, if done well it could be awesome, but it would really depend on how it is done.

My problem is, one team would start winning, and just farm points no matter how you have the map layed out or objectives. the only way this would work is if everyone was on their own or on the alliance level with multi multi team battles, which would be awesome, but then again, a squad of alliance mates would join and dominate or dominate the solo players.

Maybe a never ending mode wouldn't be the answer, with dust's small player counts it would be worse off and easilly become lopsided.

Counterproposal, larger and longer game mode, where you call in turrets and other structures yourself, no nullcannons on the map at all, but player scan build them after a certain number of WP is earned for the team. large railguns could auto fire on the MCC if no enemy is in range, give us sensor towers which basically buff turrets ability to defend themselves and detect enemies, and maybe repair stations for vehicles and players.

COD is nothing like what is suggested here and i think planet side isn't endless your flawed from the start. I mean games could end after large amounts of time I am open to feedback and suggestion. Here is an idea though CCP plans to implement 100 player fights on larger maps however I don't think the games will be endless. The current four squad system will turn to six and sooner coming is the game matches taking place as 24 v 24. For all those who will bash this thread/idea know your gonna look bad when at least part of this idea becomes a reality.

I don't like playing in a box of a game honestly you might admire merc quarters at first however it's like being tricked into thinking bronze is diamond. After a week or two you realize just how simple the merc quarters is and that you are not deploying to far out planets you are simply queuing a game and being put in a game match with a label. 24/7 games would be fun it would allow players to ride around undisturbed until they either ran out of fitting, ran out of isk to make more fits, or had to go because of real life or in game problems.

Honestly guys let's try and expand this idea not just shoot it down before it's even off the ground some of the greatest games what if you had shut them down before they even got off the ground? Obviously you would be enjoying less one fun game.

I aint got a problem with big maps and huge ammount of players.I play this game because i know that we gona have this later on.You mentioned the 24/7 game mode(24/7 means endless for me),thas the idea i dont like.I'm up for long battles,ewen if they would last for two hours.

Based on your suggestive idea, i mean what happens if like you want to leave the game or something? o.O

Oh man... Non-stop combat? Where all districts are open?

Non-stop pub match...

This would only work once we hit the 128-player mark.
At this point we're not even at the 64-player mark.

An everlasting pub match, should try to squeeze in as many players as possible.
As it stands now, there is too high a chance, for one team to be totally red lined. I understand that the red zone you propose would be huge, but still, there wouldn't be enough variety in players.

An endless battle ? No Thank You.

What is the reason for the battle? Who is sponsoring it? Who is providing the biomass?
If you cannot say who would place the contract for the battle, and why, then it doesn't really fit in I think.

If, instead, it was a larger Ambush with a higher clone-count and extended time-limit, then it could make sense.

Nope. Better than copy Planetside 2. (I understand tech limitations so this will be when Dust ends on PS3) Open worlds with PVE content such as pirates on planets (go into their base and expect installations, tanks and numerous soldiers), cities which have differing strengths of concord. go to null sec and the cities would be owned by pirates (maybe player pirate corps), go to high sec and their would be very few pirate strongholds with most being weak overall. travel from planet to planet (with a fee). Maybe even have your ship boarded by pirates for pve content (more chance of this the lower the security system you go through).
