There's quite the buzz on this ^ on the Dust forums. (Yes it still exists)

I'm all for it. Your thoughts, questions, concerns?

I'm all for it too.

My thoughts on it are pie in the sky stuff with potential for cross-overs as part of the 'deploy exploration team' angle proposed at previous fanfests. I do think it would be healthy to have in Dust, as most complaints about games these days are in relation to their lack of endgame content.

As for concerns, if you have shiny bling in Dust (the equivalent of golden ammo) from these forms of live event people will probably quit if they can't get on a good enough team. In all the PvP games I play accessibility is the number one cause of rage (I don't know much of the queue balancing in Dust, but elitism has always been reductionist in terms of population, despite being the obvious choice for naturally competent PvP'rs)

tl;dr - It wil be a great outlet for stress relief in the dust community, aslong as all players have equal chance at completing the content.

<3 the idea tbh
