So I think most of us can agree that Dust needs work both in its FPS design and in the MMO department right? Hit detection is still off, weapons vehicles and suits need balancing still, etc... In the MMO area CCP is simply not living up to this game's promises in nearly any way currently in my opinion. Eve connection is superficial at best, no player market, and no real reason to engage in PC or FW right now.
Now I can only assume CCP has limited resources developer wise so one or the other of these areas is going to get more attention than the other right now. In my opinion, CCP should be focusing on more of the MMO aspects than the FPS facets of the game at the moment because those are what is going to set this game apart from other games in the FPS genre. If you are playing Dust more for the FPS gameplay, first of all I applaud your patience or perhaps straight masochism, but there are tons of games that can let you get your kill on...every year. However, as far as actually giving you reasons to kill other players, besides for unlocking weapons that function pretty much like the AR you are already using or putting your name on a leaderboard and having bragging rights there isn't much of a point. With Dust, though, it is supposed to be different, we are supposed to have more to fight for than reputation and shiney new unlocks aren't we? That's what the new and old trailers have sold us on at least.
Anyway thats my opinion, I think the MMO stuff is more important than fixing gameplay right now, but I am curious as to how everyone else feels, so ummmmm lets try to discuss this eh?
And please remember this is more about preference and opinion so I am going to ask for the impossible and request we not devolve into petty name calling over differences of opinion.
Thanks,
Z
PS: If there is some other thread already discussing this I apologize please link so I can forum war there and let this thread die and go into Dust 514 forum limbo for all eternity |

We need PVE ASAP.
I would love to have PvE, but I think having a player market and some actual Eve connectivity is even more important if CCP wants to deliver on some of what it is promising us. But PvE would definitely make Dust more enjoyable for scrubs like myself  |

There are devs for both sides who specialise in their respective department - you can just take some devs from the MMO side and put them to work on perfecting the FPS stuff and vice versa.
Oh it definitely needs both, but to me it really seems that they are really concentrating more on the FPS side of things so I assume (maybe quite wrongly) that they can only really focus in one or two areas at a time and right now what seems to be getting focus is FPS mechanics and item creation/introduction.
This is even leaving out that CCP is an independent company developing 3 games simultaneously Eve, Dust, and WoD

And for the inevitable first response - TACTICS ARE NOT SKILL.
I don't think I can agree with you there. I have sh!te FPS skills so I die alot and my steadily declining KDR sits at around 1. You guys have solid FPS skills and do a lot of killing of me, honestly I think FPS skills make a big difference. Now if you mean to say that your FPS skills are diminished because of things like lag and crappy hit detection I can understand that |

Well, to be honest I expected more of a split with the number of MAG vets we have saying "fix the gunplay!" and the more Eve/RPG amongst us saying "add more MMO!". Like I said, it all needs work, its just a matter of what needs to come first. |
