First off, just wanna say I love DUST514 and the concepts that are behind it. I've been playing for just around 2 months now and some of you will probably recognize my character name whether you hate me because I killed you, love me cuz I helped you, or you are legit and kicked my a** a few times. I have a few minor yet helpful suggestions to help the over all appeal of the game on a day-to-day, week-to-week and month-to-month basis so we can continue to grow and keep this thing rolling in the appropriate direction.
1. I like the LEADERBOARDS section of DUST, however I think a WEEKLY LEADERBOARD and/or MONTHLY LEADERBOARD would be a simple and beneficial add-on(s) so that even if you are new or maybe not elite, or even if you can't get on regularly and see that you are 64,000 kills behind being relavant, you atleast have an opportunity to appear and show your stuff on a weekly/monthly basis. (of course many of the good/elite players will be on there too but it's still nice to have a weekly objective rather than "crap.....I need to make up 50,000 plus kills") Killzone 2 did something similar and it was a HUGE success with the players. They failed to do this in KZ3 and they lost many just because of that reason alone. Also, I think with a weekly to monthly top players board, the top (lets say 100 or few 100) should acquire a small bonus or token for their achievements like maybe 20,000 extra sp or 500,000 isk. In my personal opinion I think it would be easier to do a weekly individual player board, and do a monthly top corp board where top players accumulate sp based on placement for the week. (which brings me to the monthly corp section.)
2. I've been asked (as a CEO) by new players what are the benefits of being in a CORP and even though there are definately a few, I think adding a monthly top corps board where the corp AND its players get a nice bonus/reward for their efforts would be a substantial reason. Maybe you spread the wealth as in a small/fair amount of everything, isk-a few weapons/dropsuits. (excluding SP because individuals have that opportunity weekly)
3. If you enjoy the idea of #2, I believe you will also enjoy this......a monthly CORP TOURNAMENT open to those CORPS that finished in the top 100 for that month and the top 3/or 5 get healthy bonuses.
-Now I realize these ideas give opportunity for the rich to get richer but it also gives opportunity for the poor to fight and claw their way into some exciting events on a day-to-day basis giving them some pretty good incentive to not only continue to play daily, but also to continue to pile into corps and ultimately create an "amped" sense of excitement for the players and CORPS. These are fairly small/easy implements that could have a very big positive impact on the DUST community and getting new players to join.
-Thank you for your time and consideration of these ideas and hope to see the rest of you on the battlefield!  |
