So seeing as everytime you die you lose money because your suit and guns are worth isk... Will this game become just another blobfest with people always moving in groups because they are too scared to die and lose their iskies?
How do you think this will effect the gameplay of Dust 514?
How will a miner in EvE ... or a mission runner for example.. play Dust without PvPing. Are there support roles for these types of players? |

Dust is a fps. There is no mining or mission running. You shoot people. There are logi rolls like medic. But it is a fps. If you don't want to pvp, its not for you. Not tell rogue drones co-op atleast
The idea is to group up and team play. Its not a solo slug fest like halo. Its squad based. You work within your rolls just as you would in eve like tackle, logi, dps. |

since they already said the max player amount is something like 30 players ( maybe go up to 64) so the biggest blob will be 15 players ( or 30 if they let the matches get bigger)

lol, play fps's much?
A blob in eve = omfg i am dead instantly.
Blob in an fps = grenades, lots and lots of grenades (or a single car running over a squad  )

A well orchestrated and solid team setup will destroy players running around on their own.
So yes, there will be teamwork, if that's what you're asking.
I'm not sure why you'd think that well orchestrated squads would be a bad thing in an fps, afterall, this is totally different game and since there is a max team size, it's not a case of 'bring a lot more guys' which is my understanding of 'blob'. |

I can't comment much without breaking the NDA, but from what I've seen, DUST isn't going to be a blobfest -- equipment is priced reasonably, and each role is well-defined and very specific (so random blobs will be less effective than a well-practiced team).
At the risk of saying too much: unlike many other FPS games, your understanding of the role you choose is going to be critical to your effectiveness on the battlefield. Snipers, for example, have neither the armor nor the firepower to join a front-line assault -- you're usually going to be sitting at the back of the fight waiting for a target of opportunity.
In short: know the limitations of your role, and you'll help your squad-mates immensely. |
