Note don't pay attention to bitter vets, we are closed minded player base that only care about our play style and have no reguard for wider impact this might have. Instead it's better to just ask questions and see what ya get back like fox does.

That said you had to deal with Ea so ya know this fourm will be cake walk :-D but we expect communication and pve sometime next year

The PS4 alone can't save it. It needs to become a completely new game at the same time.

That new game can't exist on the PS3, however. That much is a fact.

The game needs to be on PS4 ASAP, and support for the PS3 version needs to be completely cut off except for a few basic game modes.

Any "new" content thereafter should be geared towards bigger levels that can sustain more players, more sandbox-like environments, destructible terrain, etc. Anyone who is too cheap to get a PS4 can continue to play the same crappy game we have now. It's a free game, after all. They aren't getting anything less than what they have now.

All the good stuff that was in the original vision of Dust simply cannot be done on the PS3 at any point, ever. The current formula isn't working, and it won't work in the future either. Dust needs a complete rebirth on a piece of hardware that completely ignores the current limitations of the game.

I think we're still a year (or PS4) away from PVE.

The lack of P2P market, racial Dropsuits, and vehicles have exhausted reasonable excuses and timelines.

would ccp dare comment on a productive thread made by a vet? i dont think so unless its to ban them for having good ideas, that may save their terribad game..dust had such potential when i started playing it. then ccp really started sinking their claws into it hasnt been the same since

What are you doing personally that is going to turn this game around? For nearly a year very few improvements/features have been brought to this game due to mismanagement and promising stuff that the previous EP wasnt up to completing. Spend some time looking over all of the threads from summer 2012 that the hardcore community provided before being shunned by the previous EP.

We want:

Eve integration - a full market, isk transactions, Newberries will complain that they are isk poor due to isk influx, but they just need to learn to make friends. Ground to space weaponry. Industry Give eve players a reason to GAF.

Racial parity re: all basic suits, weapons and vehicles. When? We already have concepts, shouldnt be that much longer for you to roll this out. Get this stuff out, in a balance (or atleast near balanced state)

PVE - a must, I cant and dont want to PC everynight. Sometime i want to get drunk and smash bots. Even better if you can do this on an open world map.

COMMUNICATION - talk to us, tell us what your plans are moving forward (no promises, just what are your goals)

Fix stupid things - dropship pilots have been asking for either more HP or countermeasures for over a year.

Rouge.

EVE Integration - Disregard. Place this on the back burner in favor of more maps and modes. The game is seriously lacking in standard variety. The small but active player base is only going to get smaller and less active due to boredom. EVE integration sounds great but won't draw a lot of new players in until the game itself is more fun, engaging and addicting. Save the integration for PS4 version.

Racial Parity - Legit request. This should have been solidified months ago.

PvE - A pipe dream considering the taxing multiplayer fixes (not even expansion) has put on the Dev Team. Honestly, if CCP is serious about moving Dust forward (and I believe it is), then you need to hire more hands. Seriously.

Communication - Honestly, I think talk is cheap and would much prefer action/results. But you do have a dedicated core element within this community that is begging to vet your ideas. It is underutilized. Swallow your pride, we are all in this together now.

Fix Stupid Things - No comment.

I find it highly amusing that people will complain about a free product; it's like being given a free car and then complaining that it's not in the color you wanted.

And I find it highly amusing when people call this game a free product, seeing as how I've spent several hundred dollars on this game so far. Most expensive game I've ever played. There is no such thing as a free lunch. The goal of the producers of this game is to sell a product - the same goal as the producers of any other game. Just because they are taking a diferent sales approach than many other games doesn't relieve them of their reponsibility to their costumers. Or the responsibility to produce a product that captures the interest of the consumer, and for that product (or in Dust's case, the iteration of that product) to be presented to the public in a timely manner.

So far, IMO, CCP has monumentally failed to achieve this kind of customer service, bordering on extreme negligence, so much so that it has driven many people away from the game.

IMO, CCP needs to take whatever steps necessary to ramp up production of the game REALLY soon or suffer the consequences which I think could be dire and long lasting, if it is indeed not already to late.

You forgot to include player to player item asset trading and meaningful game modes :P

The improved salvage system is still missing, Logistics dropsuits are Officer Assaults (Medics are meant to support via equipment, H/L slot count should be scarce), Commando and Plasma Cannon were the Blunderful Duo.

Executive Prodcer-DUST514
CCP is looking for an Executive Producer to take on DUST 514 continued development since its initial launch on the PlayStation 3 on May 14, 2013. In a similar way as CCP made EVE Online growth and prosper for over a decade the plan is the same for DUST 514 and in a similar way as with EVE, expand platforms in the future beyond the initial PS3 version. The EP is responsible for reconciling business and creative needs to create an inspirational product with successful business model. This position will lead overall development and will work closely with publishing and operations activities for DUST 514. The EP is responsible for the overall success of the title. The Executive Producer will need to build and lead strong teams of senior people from across the project in order to develop, communicate and execute the creative vision and business plans for DUST 514. As the key business leader for the project, the Executive Producer maintains a strategic focus on the overall goals of the project and a long term perspective in respect to creativity, quality, budget and timelines.

Ok...i have to say this. If you spent several hundred dollars on ANY game that's your own fault.

Well I haven't meet him yet so I have no idea how he views this game, tone, or universe. Once he gets broken in the CPM will hopefully have a chance with him.

Please make sure that he gets the message. This guy is in a very good position to do some serious good for this game but he needs to get the message from the community as clearly as possible.

I just hope he doesn't run away from us, the concept of an organization like the CPM is practically unheard of in the industry. I hope he sees us as a valuable tool though.

This is actually a really good thread. I support the OP. While i also understand that this stuff takes time. I'm completely fine with getting 1 big thing every 6 months. I've played EVE since 07 so i'm used to it.
