Stat tracking in a large sense would do a lot to improve replay as well as offering more interesting ways of looking at other players. Games like Gears of War and MAG did this really well with the medal systems. They tracked things like total first/second/third place MVPs (based on points scored, not k/d), times with best k/d, times hacking each type of point, kills with each weapon, head shot kills, tanks killed, etc etc. Gears let you choose a medal to display to others, so like a logibro could display having earned the highest tier of "hommies revived" or so on. Long term there could be cosmetic rewards to enhance the MMO feel. (Camo suits, gold hats, gold tools, camo guns, etc etc).
Also, in game, more information about teamates would be nice. Like instead of just basic [A] hacked/hacking scroll at the top (not the voice over) actually show the player name who did the hack. Ex: In a dom match the other day, enemy team held A untill MCC shield was down when I finally managed to flank, win a 2v1, hack, and drop relays and we held A the rest of the match. My first real moment in Dust of "okay I personally really swayed this match." I want to see other people's moments of glory, and I want them to see mine. Maybe at the end screen there is a page that shows a list of players that hacked each primary objective. One shot will change history right?
Character sheet should track wp/game maybe even / mode not just K/D.
Terms of EVE tie in, we need to have access to nul sec soverignty to really matter to the EVE universe. Also, I would really like a way to participate in fleet battles as a dust player, that would be pretty epic. Maybe introduce a mechanic where capital ships, instead of being out right destroyed when armor/shield are reduced to 0, enter a "crippled" state where players can elect to send in Dust Mercs to capture the ship (or just shoot it again to destroy it). This doesn't change the current battle system balance at all, as this mode happens after "destroy." By default all capitals have very potent AI guards maybe? Assault boats in general would be pretty cool... but that could really mess with EVE's balance (letting us board non crippled ships). Fighting on stations / moons / towers would be cool though. |
