Either way people need to keep up with the things going on, there seems to be one hell of an information lag apparently.

Anything on new game modes...you know what I mean...old skirmish perhaps?

Skirmish 1.0 can't come back for various reasons, 1 its buried and surfacing would break more things than fix and its something they simply don't have time for at this moment with so many other things wrong with the game. 2 the old map was not part of the design principle of Dust 514 and to explain that the shortest way possible. The map that Skirmish 1.0 was on was a hallway shooter map. Also the map is technologically incompatible with current mapping systems. We're lucky to still have Biomass and Comms today and it would not surprise me if they decide to 2.0 those.

So there is paper napkin discussions about skirmish 3.0 instead that would be far more robust and a bit more future proofed. However since code teams are not focusing on game modes and playing yet (NPE and Core first) there is no immediate solid plans for new game modes. There is some spitballing to use what is currently available with skirmish and ambush rule set and code to make a new game mode but nothing solid there either.

I am sorry I don't have anything else much more for you guys but that's how its looking like now for 1.4 and 1.5 however the developers have been known to throw a curveball or two. CPM would like to also see the return of the attack defend dynamic but feels that the game can't do without core update and balances for that long. Hopefully the new maps comming in 1.4 and beyond will be break up the repetition a bit.

calvin b Molon Labe. League of Infamy 205	Posted - 2013.08.05 22:48:00 - [2] - Quote Hopefully it is a sign they are working hard on the game. I hope. If not will someone like Nero play the fiddle as it burns.

It makes me think of the end days of Starhawk before Sony Entertainment dropped them... hard. For the record, they have rarely posted. Their job is to make the game, not reply your threads. They do that as time permits.
Mary Sedillo Pure Innocence. EoN. 212	Posted - 2013.08.05 23:25:00 - [4] - Quote To my posts? Not really asking for replies for my posts, just a general lack of blue posts. I think it reflects a general apathy and lack of direction in their DUST department.
Cat Merc DUST CORE DARKSTAR ARMY 3870	Posted - 2013.08.05 23:32:00 - [5] - Quote FoxFour and LogicLoop are active as ever, if not more. Wolfman was gone for months and suddenly reappeared. They are posting more, not less.

I think it would be fair to say there appear to be fairly significant issues. To be frank I suspect it is only EVE money and resources propping up DUST in just about every way.

Jonny Moreau Militaires-Sans-Frontieres 20	Posted - 2013.08.06 00:40:00 - [14] - Quote It seems to me that dev posts are (quite frankly) down from the days of Replication and pre-Replication. That might be becaus ein those days (ah the good ole days when forums weren't almost totally useless for anything) there were at least a reasonable number of serious discussion posts. Most of what i see now is complain/qq/rage/discouragement posts. Ill tell you honestly, i only checkthe forums twice a month now as there is little constructive discussing done. I used to check once or twice a day when i first joined closed beta. Seems the (small)influx of players since beta opened/ended has watered down the quality of our forums...if i were a dev, i would post less too. On another note, ccp should really just say, "Whoops, maybe we shouldnt have left beta, our bad, this isn't a release ready game, we're gonna do the sensible thing and redo this" Wanna buy some deathsticks? i dont want to sell you any deathsticks i want to go home and rethink my life

Anything on new game modes...you know what I mean...old skirmish perhaps? Skirmish 1.0 can't come back for various reasons, 1 its buried and surfacing would break more things than fix and its something they simply don't have time for at this moment with so many other things wrong with the game. 2 the old map was not part of the design principle of Dust 514 and to explain that the shortest way possible. The map that Skirmish 1.0 was on was a hallway shooter map. Also the map is technologically incompatible with current mapping systems. We're lucky to still have Biomass and Comms today and it would not surprise me if they decide to 2.0 those. So there is paper napkin discussions about skirmish 3.0 instead that would be far more robust and a bit more future proofed. However since code teams are not focusing on game modes and playing yet (NPE and Core first) there is no immediate solid plans for new game modes. There is some spitballing to use what is currently available with skirmish and ambush rule set and code to make a new game mode but nothing solid there either. I am sorry I don't have anything else much more for you guys but that's how its looking like now for 1.4 and 1.5 however the developers have been known to throw a curveball or two. CPM would like to also see the return of the attack defend dynamic but feels that the game can't do without core update and balances for that long. Hopefully the new maps comming in 1.4 and beyond will be break up the repetition a bit.

I'd kill to see a tree or two.
