Battles, Game Modes, Game Mechanics

Breakdown of battle types: http://www.reddit.com/r/dust514/comments/1ckz34/dust_514_developer_ama/c9i5vbf

Battle size going up to 16v16 for planetary conquest

~~Next jump in battle size is 48 players and 24 vehicles No ETA on increasing battle size.~~

They are improving matchmaking but hope to draw better players out of instants with Faction Warfare and Planetary Conquest.

For Factional Warfare and Corporation battles we are adding a latency indicator to the battle finder so you know how good your connection to the battle server is. That is coming in Uprising.

~~Gear/map based countermeasures for redline and MCC sniping are being worked on~~

Factional Warfare will allow stacking squads to form teams.

Maps used in planetary conquest will change based on what surface infrastructure is installed and what district you are on.

~~"Skirmish 1.0" is being worked on as code name "Infiltration". "Conquest" is also in the works, but is comes along with a much more sweeping set of features which I can't talk about at the moment.~~

~~Orbital Bombardment mechanics are still being looked into but are unlikely to be based on the system used in the Fanfest tournament.~~

Spawn/Death sequences has been updated, improving situational awareness around spawning This includes updated mechanics for things like awareness of nearby medics.

API

~~No ETA on API access.~~

~~FoxFour is looking forward to developing CREST.~~

~~Planetary Conquest requires further work before it is ready to be linked to CREST.~~

Misc

Dev blog on respec SOON. [link]

~~Increasing the functionality of the Merc Quarters is not a top priority~~

~~Devs are masochists. (Read: They pay attention to most of the forums.)~~

~~Uprising will not have any player trading.~~

~~There are no plans to make it possible to sell characters.~~

~~Kill logs are unlikely to be seen soon.~~

Justin Tymes Condotta Rouvenor Gallente Federation 30	Posted - 2013.04.20 01:06:00 - [11] - Quote Pricing for Heavys? What about for Logis? Our EQ is costing way too much for the same WP we get from militia gear.

Our EQ is costing way too much for the same WP we get from militia gear. The AMA didn't seem to have any info on that, but I find the benefits of higher tier logi gear to be worthwhile even without being rewarded directly with more WP. Better gear = more time to farm WP, team stays alive longer which means they can run through my nanohives more often and we win the battle faster so I can requeue and gain more WP.

It's mostly just wish lists and blue sky hype. True enough. They're quite nice wishes, though. I'm personally satisfied that I'll find Uprising playable.
