Delivering something from point A to point B is novelty?  Driving deliveries is compelling gameplay?

Wiley.

Doesn't bother me, and there were times that, it was all I did.  Take Foxhole Pre-Alpha that's on Steam.  Only once did I ever participate in an attack, otherwise I've only done logistics: Gathering Resources and/or stockpiling/converting them, or running supplies to the front lines.  If it's a fresh map, I'll gather the resources I need to build walls and defenses around an open resource before getting to logistics.

Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean someone won't do it.

There are games like euro truck simulator where people do nothing but drive from point A to point B just to haul cargo.

Same in Elite Dangerous,  people fly in space from point A to point to B to haul cargo.

Some like this.


There are so many more things that could be done on the MA.


Look at steam stats,  euro truck simulator right now has 20,000 players.

To Wiley's question about whether hauling cargo/deliveries is compelling gameplay, I would say it falls within the "eye of the beholder" or "to each his own" category.  Delivering paratroops for base capture, IMO, is compelling gameplay - in that it's a high risk/high reward activity.  You're flying a slow, unarmed aircraft into a hot zone, depending on stealth and/or protection by your team mates, and your reward is the capture of a base for your team.   

I would add that its not just that some people like logistics/supply style of play.  There must be other people like me who appreciate multiple styles of play.  I might join in providing CAP for a base capture attempt, or grab a P-40 and fly a lone sortie to a quiet enemy field to try to stir up some trouble, or take a break from that and fly troops or supplies to a town to help the team effort.   Maybe up a set of buffs and work on my level bombing skills.   I just like a variety of things to do in the game - sometimes self-oriented, other times team-oriented. I'll even GV just for a change of pace, or up a Storch to help locate enemy ground units for friendly GVs.

Yeah. There's close to 10,000 people playing Farming Simulator right now.  We need to grow potato crops to feed our soldiers.  But you guys are thinking too small.

Minecraft has hundreds of thousands of people playing.  We should add mining and base building to the game.  Every time a map resets the players should have to survey the map to find where the building materials are, then obtain them, then refine the ore, then build aircraft components and bases, then work the assembly line to build their airplane, then paint it, then fly it.  That sounds like all kinds of fun!

Wait, better yet!  Combine that with something like Kerbal Space Program where you have to design your airplane to be able to fly it, and if the design's not right it won't work!  More different types of gameplay can't be bad right?

It's a good thing Elite Dangerous was mentioned.  Why should we limit the game to one planet?  Clearly they need to implement at least the solar system so we can have more variety of gameplay!

Or better yet, World of Warcraft has millions of players!  Let's get some orc and dwarf action in here!  Melee combat and fantasy setting!  Hooray for diversity!

Or maybe, just maybe they could improve the core aspects of the game to make it great in its niche instead of tacking on a bunch of other half assed systems to attempt to appeal to every gamer type on earth?

Made me wonder what core aspects of the game he thinks are in need of improvement.   I think the game is already great in its niche; the problem I see is that the niche may be too small.  I'm also wondering how improvements to the core aspects of the game are going to get players who are apparently avoiding combat, back into the fight.  One thing I'd advocate along those lines is the removal of manned guns at fields.

About catches it.  Not saying that's all I'd limit it to but those are my main areas where I can see room for improvement with current tech.  Basically stuff that improves on what's here.  Some of it could be applied to GVs too.

I like a lot of those ideas as well.
