There are already good discussions for PVE ideas and if you like to talk about it, you should head over there.

I would like to know (if itGÇÖs possible) how far is he progress of the PVE development. CCP can you tell us a % number? Or maybe in words like, GÇ£we are half way doneGÇ¥? I donGÇÖt think that I will live long enough to actually enjoin some of the PVE fun in Dust (IGÇÖm already 29 and considering the speed of this game progress GǪ), but still this is THE biggest point of interest for me personal. Just because I think that there are extremely amassing possibilityGÇÖs which could be done.

What does the community thing? Is the PVE stuff already done and CCP is keeping it back for some marketing reasons for example try to boost the game one more time? Or do you think CCP never really started working on it? Maybe they are GÇ£alreadyGÇ¥ halfway done?




My opinion on this is very clear; PVE should have been in the release right from the start. GÇ£ItGÇÖs freeGÇ¥ is not an argument for releasing a not even half way finished game (but this should not be the place to discuss it). If we would already have PVE, new players could enjoy it and stay with the game, rather than getting pub stomped. (Again, the matchmaking should have been there right from the start)

PS: I really tried hard this time not to troll that much, because IGÇÖm interested in PVE, but some things canGÇÖt be avoid completely.

Im hoping for Christmas this year. They said months and months ago that they had an "in-house" version of PVE to play that was pretty fun, its just that they weren't very focuses on it, and were looking at different ways to incorporate it first. Recently they said that 1.3 will be nothing special, but the next BIG patch will be. So im hoping to either get industry or PVE by this Christmas because that's right about when the next BIG patch should be coming, and those are the only two BIG things that they could feasibly put in right now.

It would be nice for you, and I hope your dream can come true, for me it is irrelevant. The PS4 is heading this winter, so from a certain point I will be instant uninterested in Dust till it hits PS4.
But I would wish it for you and a couple of friends who are really interested in PVE.

PS: If PvE is not the focus in this game, then IGÇÖm wasting my time here. I want to have a game with a balanced gameplay in PvE AND PvP, if dust canGÇÖt give this to me, then I will leave it and it wouldnGÇÖt even matter how much this game has improved. Shooting people in the face is fun, but what I need is diversity.

hmmmm good points i suppose..... though i mean..... dust is coming to the PS4 you know?? Not instantly, no. But a few years down the road it will. LOL i cant imagine the nightmare developers will have changing the in-house code to match it. I hope there starting now so it wont take too long later.

The problem I see is that CCP is to slow. Too late with the idea of Dust 514, to slow to build up this game after the release and they are probably going to be to slow on the PS4.

Or, from a different perspective, they are ahead of the game. I can't think of another game attempting to have a real-time interface in the same universe with a different type of game (Eve), on a different platform (PC.)

Don't get me wrong, I hear you and the frustration with respect to the content and the fact that PS4 is coming out. just looking at DUST in relation to other shooters, In terms of content roll-out, game maturity and being relevant on the latest gen platform, they are slower than the competition.

But, this is all about more than Dust as another shooter. I look forward to the day when I'm hiring Eve pilots to bring me to exotic locations to fight, or when I'm boarding their ships and stations to take the fight skyward and doing Eve-side monetary damage.

The main challenge CCP has right now is keeping the game alive and the interest level high enough to realize these long term goals.

I'm really looking forward to PvE and the silence from CCP is frustrating.
It could do wonders for dust if it was decent - It would provide a place for people to get away from the constant pubstomping, for one, as well as a potentially fun experience for getting isk.

Yes and don't forget my friend, there are SO MANY(!) other multiplayer FPS out there that it's easy to lose the track of them all. And how much PvE FPS do we have? I mean where you can team up with some friends and do some intense fighting and getting a reward afterwards? Borderlands? :)

I know that the Multiplayer FPS out there all filling they small gap like GÇ£hit and runGÇ¥, vehicles combat, Mechs and so on.
But that is exactly what I mean, IGÇÖm so fed up from this, I want something new! Massive coop PVE content!

Question to ponder: how many of you will still do PvP when PvE is introduced?



And this is why we don't and will not have PvE soon/ever.

CCP have already make it very clear that PvE is in the "To Do List "..in other words... most likely NEVER or in 4-5 years time. It is nice to dream, but keep your expectations down.

Sure, let's not bother with some potentially fantastic content because it means that proto vet squads won't have quite as many newbies to massacre.
There will always be people doing PvP.

12 man team vs massive drone horde.
It hurts to look forward to something that'll probably never come though.

You misunderstood. I've been here for ever a year now and I've been calling for PvE since last September.

I'm giving you the CCP perspective. All non-tryhard non-protobear-squadding people would just go into PvE. You'd be left in a cesspool of few hundred tryhards and this would increase the burnout rate of players (which is ridiculously high even now due to lack of content). I know, for one, that If it was decent I'd be spending a lot of time there, especially in co-op with my buddies.

Somehow CCP is not big on new content and I'm trying to rationalize their decision. I'm not defending it, just saying that they don't care about players.

I mean -- most of us want PvE, but we're still here grinding on those 5 or 6 maps every week, right? Why would they ever listen?

I would also like a rough time frame. will it be this year? I am really looking forward to something different

Search the forums. They said it's coming but not super soon. They are fixing the game first. Watch advancing the core and you will understand, the next 6 months, from Fanfest 2013 and on will be mostly fixes and improvements which is what we need before they release another chunk of broken mess.

I don't intend on doing PvE, the PvP is the whole reason I play.
