CCP Blowout C C P C C P Alliance 4	Posted - 2013.11.12 03:12:00 - [1] - Quote Hey all, So, I'll be meeting with our Game Design Director CCP FlyingScotsman this Friday morning, Shanghai time to talk about design decisions of DUST 514, the future of the game, and whatever you guys would like to know (within reason, you weirdos). I have a few ideas up my sleeve but wanted to open it up to the community to post questions - and we'll choose about ten or so and present them to FlyingScotsman when we meet up. Have at it - you've got until around 1am UTC on Friday 15th November to stand a chance of having your questions answered.

Shley Ashes TanksVeryMuch 42	Posted - 2013.11.12 03:17:00 - [3] - Quote Are the current rendering issues being looked at ? disappearing/reappearing/range issues, Is PVE still being worked on? If so how long in some form of reasonable timescale guestimate would you expect this to be released? I used to pilot HAV's then I took a forge gun to the knee

Could this realistically be applied or am i shooting blanks here. FIGHT FOR A CAUSE, EVEN IF IT'S NEXT TO YOU.

Avallo Kantor Paladin Survey Force Amarr Empire 218	Posted - 2013.11.12 03:18:00 - [6] - Quote How do you envision the interplay of infantry roles in the ideal world? What manner of options will be available for infantry to engage in?

CCP Blowout C C P C C P Alliance 4	Posted - 2013.11.12 03:25:00 - [7] - Quote Wow, this is all good stuff. I might have to take more than 10 questions. Keep firing, mercs!

Lance 2ballzStrong SyNergy Gaming EoN. 4474	Posted - 2013.11.12 03:34:00 - [8] - Quote Might seem an insignificant question, but still I feel almost forced to ask... Does any developer use the heavy class w/ HMG? If so, why has the class been so neglected of late? The class went from being scary to being a laughing stock. Honestly both scout and heavy classes took a back seat. So my main question is, will the HMG get a look at from the devs? I'm asking because DUST was suppose to be about diversity, and having a role to play on the battlefield. Instead DUST became a medium suit + AR / Scr + nade spam. As of 1.4 Heavies have no role but to Forge from rooftops... then THAT got nerfed recently, so in a competitive setting (PC), Heavies are literally useless unless you put 2-3 in a room and tell them defend, which tbh, a medium class can do just as good. What's being done to give other classes a role in this game? ( ._.) <('.'<) "There there Mr. Heavy, it's not your fault CCP doesn't care about you"
Lillica Deathdealer Mango and Friends 437	Posted - 2013.11.12 03:43:00 - [9] - Quote I'm curious about the future of racial weaponry in other flavors beyond the rifles. What would a gallente sniper rifle look like, and why use it, given how it should be short range? The same applies to the shotgun. Given how amarr weaponry so far has some quirk or another, and decent range, what would that look like in a shotgun? It would also be nifty to consider the future of explosive equipment like the RE. Any big plans to take that to a whole new level with the other races? - Fear the Mango - Fear its friends - Closed beta vet, Forum warrior prof. III
Vrain Matari ZionTCD Public Disorder. 1201	Posted - 2013.11.12 03:43:00 - [10] - Quote How and when are we going to evolve DUST out of the lobby shooter structure it's currently trapped in? Is that going to happen on the PS3 or will we need to wait for a more robust platform? What are the necessary and sufficient conditions for CCP to begin thinking about allowing us to break out of the lobby and into the sandbox?

Tectonic Fusion 536	Posted - 2013.11.12 03:44:00 - [11] - Quote Will this game ever become less of a lobby shooter, and have PvE? Solo Player Squad status: Locked
Jaysyn Larrisen OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 261	Posted - 2013.11.12 03:46:00 - [12] - Quote 1) when can we expect the ability to team deploy (ie synch more than one sqd) for matches outside of PC? At least for FW? 2) need a tiered coms system or fix the coms bubble but to take advantage of multiple sqds...this being looked at? 3). Target date for p2p trading? 4) when will initial economic link, no matter how small, be established between EVE and Dust? 5) what are the most practical and low effort / high impact ways to incentivize EVE side participation and support of Dust? Why haven't we implemented those steps yet and when are we? 6) how do you make tiered suits and modules meaningful with the relative ease of militia or standard gear to defeat them? Essentially what is the subjective TTK the game is looking for and Dev vision for how proto/complex gear should feel in the game.
newmonkeyboy DUST University Ivy League 0	Posted - 2013.11.12 03:47:00 - [13] - Quote How do you expect the game to succeed when faced with so much incoming next gen content? The player count is worryingly small and seems to be declining.
Reav Hannari Red Rock Outriders 1796	Posted - 2013.11.12 04:00:00 - [14] - Quote Has industry been added to the road map and is there a basic plan on how it will work? Will we see a commander suit, command vehicles or a battle commander that rides in the MCC? When will players have control over deployables? Where are we with being able to have practice fields or tutorials that don't involve being thrown into a match with others? Weapon customization was mentioned long ago. Is it still being worked on? Will we be getting appearance customization? I need a proper Minmatar ride. Where's my LAV and Dropship? AKA: Rees Noturana https://twitter.com/reesnoturana

Given how amarr weaponry so far has some quirk or another, and decent range, what would that look like in a shotgun? If I recall correctly, CCP has never indicated that there would be racial variants of all weapons (shotguns, sniper rifles etc). They have, however, indicated that there would be racial variants of (most?) weapon roles. For instance, all races will be getting a main battle rifle and a sidearm, but maybe shotguns are specific to gallente and sniper rifles are specific to caldari, etc. "Pulvis et umbra sumus.

crazy space 1 Vherokior Combat Logistics Minmatar Republic 1977	Posted - 2013.11.12 04:03:00 - [17] - Quote Whats the point of scouts and heaves getting less slots than assault suits?
GENERAL FCF Sentinels of New Eden 4	Posted - 2013.11.12 04:07:00 - [18] - Quote When will we be able to (as Dust mercenaries) seemlessly have space and ground Battles to fly only to the atmosphere of our planet to fight off Eve pilots using the PlayStation 4? That is unprecedented and the future (I believe) of Dust 514.
Reav Hannari Red Rock Outriders 1796	Posted - 2013.11.12 04:08:00 - [19] - Quote I'd also like to know the state of PVE. I suspect that there are many new players that are put off by the very rough survival rate at the beginning. Having a PVE option would give them time to learn and develop before entering the meat grinder of the public matches. AKA: Rees Noturana https://twitter.com/reesnoturana
Slen Kaleth BlackWater Liquidations 56	Posted - 2013.11.12 04:13:00 - [20] - Quote What still needs to be addressed, if at all, before you feel the game has a good solid foundation to work with? Is there a plan for other type of booster/augmentations, other than for SP? If so what kind? Who do you want to see as the next Batman!?

GENERAL FCF Sentinels of New Eden 4	Posted - 2013.11.12 04:17:00 - [21] - Quote When will we be able to have more dynamic environments? ,meaning, Destruction to barriers, ground, walls, etc. Will we ever see Dust 514 on Ps4 supporting 514 player matches? It's completely possible given the MAX players achieved this Gen was 256. But this is an MMO and one that has Soo much potential! I'd HATE to see it limited by lack of imagination, ingenuity or risk. (Daring to do WHAT NO OTHER GAME HAS EVER DONE)
Heinz Doofenshertz BetaMax. 581	Posted - 2013.11.12 04:19:00 - [22] - Quote PS4 client? (yeah I know, laser focused on ps3, but still) PVE have you considered both drones and True Sansha, because we would love to help out with Incursions. When can we have more Crest, yes I know you guys are working on it and have a decent idea on why we have not gotten more than we have, Love the current access, just want more. Market integration, and industry for dust. Yes we want it, want to make the guns we use to murder each other, why else have a war if you can't profit from the ones you are not in. More Corp control and integration with EVE side, please, if eve can do it, we should have the tools for it as well. note recent ceo issues. Butter side up, or butter side down? can we get some warbarge concept art, the orca is nice, but it's not a warbarge? this is all for now, I reserve the right to edit these at anytime. Dust514 Stats, Have you updated today? I do maths, and sit in a corner.
SILENTSAM 69 SONS of LEGION RISE of LEGION 589	Posted - 2013.11.12 04:21:00 - [23] - Quote Would it be possible to have the enemies MMC explode while we are still playing, and having the match end and go to the victory screen after it explodes? Obviously I want that change, but I mean to ask if that is possible.
Vrain Matari ZionTCD Public Disorder. 1203	Posted - 2013.11.12 04:32:00 - [24] - Quote Will mercs be given the ability to manufacture? And if not, why not? New Eden is beautiful, but without players she is lifeless, an automaton. What can we do with DUST to bring New Eden to life? Are there any plans to add any kind of dynamics or ecology into our virtual universe? Drones are going to play a very interesting role in New Eden, in that they will bridge the EVE-DUST experience and provide a shared experience for podpilots and mercs. It would be an integrative and world-building thing if the resources yielded by drones were to some extent similar in both games - enough to provide a commonality and a basis for a storyline(s). Would CCP consider investing in a coherent, consistent, adaptive drone ecology that spanned heaven and earth? What kind of world-building does CCP want to do? To this point i believe it's fair to say that all efforts have been focused on providing players with the tools they need to generate their own stories. That is well and good and has succeeded admirably in EVE and shows genuine promise in DUST. New Eden has been used only as a backdrop against which to tell these stories. Does CCP envision the evolution of New Eden into a dynamic actor in future stories? Will we get asymmetric gamemodes? E.g., Defenders starting with a hackable defender missile installation to reduce incoming dps on their warbarge? When will our mercenary clones get real clone bodies? Is there anything coming up in the future from game design that will make a dent in the protostomping/NPE problem? I believe that TTK was never intended to be as short as it is now. What kind of FPS does CCP want DUST to be? Will EVE-launched OBs ever be able to target and destroy surface infrastucture?
Shotty GoBang Pro Hic Immortalis 2151	Posted - 2013.11.12 04:37:00 - [25] - Quote FUTURE 1) Apart from Fac War, how will Dust mercs and corps be of value to Eve pilots and corps? 2) Is it possible, even in theory, for Eve pilots to fly sorties over Dust battlefields? 3) Given player concerns of attrition, what plans are in place to see Dust carried forward from PS3? PRESENT 1) What degree of priority does CCP assign to weapon balance? 2) What specific obstacles remain in the way of long-awaited "cloak" implementation? 3) Are the Devs aware and/or concerned about trends toward weapon/role homogeneity?
TheAmazing FlyingPig Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 4555	Posted - 2013.11.12 04:43:00 - [26] - Quote When are we getting our rollover SP system? Never forget Level 4 Forum Warrior King of airborne swine.

(Daring to do WHAT NO OTHER GAME HAS EVER DONE) There will not be any destruction. The game can barely handle what's happening atm as it is. There will not be 256 players on a map, not even close. MAG was built from a custom engine, DUST is using Unreal 3, which is hardly good for games with vehicles in it. ( ._.) <('.'<) "There there Mr. Heavy, it's not your fault CCP doesn't care about you"
Tallen Ellecon KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 840	Posted - 2013.11.12 04:44:00 - [28] - Quote Only two things. When is PVE going to be a priority? When is PS4 going to be a priority? The Ellecon's come from a long line of Gallente. Tarn chose Peace. Tallen chose war. SoonGäó514
Vrain Matari ZionTCD Public Disorder. 1204	Posted - 2013.11.12 04:45:00 - [29] - Quote TheAmazing FlyingPig wrote: When are we getting our rollover SP system? The same day i start spending money on this game again.
MINA Longstrike 2Shitz 1Giggle 25	Posted - 2013.11.12 04:50:00 - [30] - Quote I'd like to hear about what this game is going to be doing to attract and retain new players going forward. I'd also like to hear what they're going to be doing to bring a bit more love to the under-used / under-appreciated roles in the game, like heavies (currently only one racial variant and only two heavy weapons), scouts (2 racial variants, no real big niche in the game), and vehicles (two races, three weapons).

Drix Friggson Villore Joint Task Force Villore Accords 4	Posted - 2013.11.12 05:06:00 - [32] - Quote When are all racial dropsuits being added to the game? It's disappointing not being able to put any skill points into heavy dropsuits waiting for the Gallente Heavy to be a thing.
GHOSTLY ANNIHILATOR The Corporate Raiders Top Men. 1045	Posted - 2013.11.12 05:06:00 - [33] - Quote When will u have private matches? When will u put in free mode? When will this game be done as in full suits vehicles pve etc. My PS3 is dusty ._. Level 1 Forum Warrior
IgniteableAura Pro Hic Immortalis 326	Posted - 2013.11.12 05:14:00 - [34] - Quote Will psn trophies ever be added? What is the likelihood of a fully functional "weapon room" for testing weapons and trying our vehicles? Any Christmas presents inbound for dust mercs? Any more storyline events (Caldari prime) on the works? What are the reasonings behind SP sinks and the length of time it takes for people to become "competitive"?

Pseudogenesis Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 87	Posted - 2013.11.12 05:28:00 - [35] - Quote Where do you see Dust in a year? 5 years? Nova Knives are badly in need of triage. Are they being looked at? Would you ever consider active modules like a blink (ie. short ranged instant teleport on a cooldown) or sprint (short burst of incredible ground speed with a cooldown.) (Both would be a godsend, though I would prefer the former because I'm pretty sure roleplaying a ninja satisfies some deep spiritual need.) Are infantry cloaking modules anywhere on the current roadmap?
Captain Crutches Nexus Marines 34	Posted - 2013.11.12 05:36:00 - [36] - Quote What, if anything, do you plan to do about the problem of protostomping in pub matches? I know I, someone who's been around since closed beta, am logging in and playing less because I don't consider getting slaughtered 4 out of 5 matches particularly fun, so I can only imagine what it must be like for newberries straight out of the academy (i.e. your new player retention).

Maken Tosch DUST University Ivy League 5051	Posted - 2013.11.12 05:48:00 - [38] - Quote What immediate plans (by immediate I mean within the next month) do you have for making the nova knives better for us ninjas? CCP, please fix the Nova Knives. Thank you.
Pent'noir Algintal Core Gallente Federation 180	Posted - 2013.11.12 06:11:00 - [39] - Quote Skirm 1.0 (Conquest Mode) How hard would it be to rework this type of system back into dust? Would this be a major project or side project that a team could work on?
KEROSIINI-TERO The Rainbow Effect 812	Posted - 2013.11.12 06:12:00 - [40] - Quote Is there any chance of procedurally generated terrain? (not the infrastructure but the landscape?)

Aka Swava Quafe Runners 0	Posted - 2013.11.12 06:44:00 - [41] - Quote I would like to know if we will ever be able to run missions for NPC Corps like on Eve? I had a little bit of a brainstorm of what a mission might look like. High Sec Mission Contract Example Hello Morgan Freeman, We have recived word that one of our Noble Gas Harvesting Plants has spotted hostile Angel Forces in the area. If Angel Forces are in the area, it's never a good thing. We have received word from our ships in orbit that they have hacked the Angel Transmition. They plan to Steel the Gas supplys and Destroy the Plant. They have deployed drone hives in the area. We need Forces on the ground to prevent the loss of our Plant and resorcess. Due to the delicat nature of a Gas Plant turning into a War Zone. There are somethings that are not authurised to use. Objective: Remove the Angel Forces from the Gas Plant and remove any explosives that might have been deployed. Mission Level: 1 Mission Restrictions Suit Level Restrictions: Advanced Weapons: Basic Support Gear: Advanced HAV and Dropships: Not Authorised Blaster Instalations: Avaliable: 2 "if not used 30k per instalation increased payout" CRU: 2 "if not used 50k per instalation increased payout" Supply Depo: Avaliable 1 "if not used 40k per instalation increased payout" Orbital Status: EMP Orbital Bombardment: Availiable "The Reward amount would be for each Merc since it is a team effort" Mission Rewards: 200,000 isk Possible Assets Bonus: 200,000 isk Loyalty Points: 123 "salvage could be based off of Mission Restrictions" "The Reward amount would be for each Merc since it is a team effort, unless the hostile forces had bounty's. If the bounty system was in place, splitting the reward could work." "Skill points could be based off of match performance as it is now" Its just an idea, but i would like to see what CCP could put together. Mission running would beat pub match grinding. It would be nice to have missions for people to run at the Squad or Corp Level.
Rasatsu Much Crying Old Experts 884	Posted - 2013.11.12 06:58:00 - [42] - Quote Why has GMs intervened in hostile corporate takeovers of mixed DUST/EVE corporations? Is this not a dangerous precedent in terms of the erosion of the core of what makes EVE, well, the fun and happy sandbox we have all come to love and appreciate...

Lt Royal Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 2109	Posted - 2013.11.12 08:05:00 - [44] - Quote Dropsuit fitting diversity is now a staple in Dust, with GÇ£thousandsGÇ¥ of possible loadouts for a mercenary to build. Other games like the Battlefield series for instance, balances its classes with designated weaponry and equipment so each class can hold their own and serve their own purpose for the team/squad. At any point in the development; was it decided that every class dropsuit should have its own place and usefulness upon the burn zone, rather than the way things are at the moment; where some suits are effectively redundant because other suits can fulfill the roles better than originally intended? I can imagine this makes balancing all racial; suits, vehicles, weaponry and equipment very hard work out. Is this something you might be looking towards in the SOONGäó future?
Sgt Kirk SyNergy Gaming EoN. 2706	Posted - 2013.11.12 08:19:00 - [45] - Quote As cool as the LAVs look in this game they look too much like European sports cars and not enough like a military vehicle. I saw the design for the old LAV that had a roll cage, is there any chance we could get something like that to make the LAVs look more..."combat like", threatening, I don't know the word for it but you know what I mean. The newer the berry the dumber the juice.

Avinash Decker Seykal Expeditionary Group Minmatar Republic 86	Posted - 2013.11.12 09:19:00 - [50] - Quote Is the expansion (as in expansions like in Eve or any other mmo) 2.0 ? Is that coming next year ? Well there be any time of tiercide for dust 514? And will dust soldiers get a nickname like Valkyrie or Empyreans instead of calling them mercs , soldiers , etc ?

At the current rate of map production we will have approx 40 megaterrains 10 years from now. This would be considered an exceptional achievement for a generic FPS, but would have to be considered as some kind of failure in New Eden, where each of these planets are unique. CCP's original statements on the subject implied that they had a robust terrain-generation technology that built maps based on planetary parameters. Is CCP going to invest resources in making each planet unique?

Theresa Rohk The Cuddlefish Templis Dragonaors 44	Posted - 2013.11.12 18:15:00 - [75] - Quote A few questions: Aside from the normal request for when the full racial weapons/suits will be deployed... 1. What/where do you see the next link to the EVE side of things coming from, there's talk of letting EVE players manufacturer things, but right now the isk link simply isn't there. 2. At what point do you see the game expanding past the traditional temperate planets. I like how with every new structure/map the potential pool of places to fight increase multiplicatively, but at the same time, when you play for a couple hours, you get familiar with them all and it becomes tiresome. I've already learned where all the bad snipers pick for their spots, and what spots are nigh invulnerable to counter-sniper fire..it...I dunno it loses some of the joy after a while. 3. How do you account for players emergent gameplay contradicting the developers ongoing work in balance? E.g. Heavy's driving around in LAVs to avoid their slow movement. Is this something dev's account for, and plan on in their balancing work? 3. How do you plan to distinguish between the racial heavy suits, while maintaining balance among all the other suits, and keeping up with potentially abusive gameplay?

Cass Caul 281	Posted - 2013.11.12 19:26:00 - [77] - Quote 1) What the reasoning behind changing the Graphics from the previous ones to Uprising's? You had full field of view in the past builds. The adage Form Follows Function was clearly ignored, and I'd like to know why. 2) Ever see a CCP Dev on the killboards? Maybe you haven't, not because they don't play, but because you have to scroll down if they come in below 10th place in War Point Earnings. So the question is, Why are CCP Devs so bad at their own game? Should they really be doing work on weapon balance without asking the opinion of the community? Current disparity in suits and weapons say they shouldn't. 3) What will it take to get the Devs to honestly and earnestly talk to the community and the CPM? It is a cultural thing, because the Devs in this game seem more stubborn than an Ox when it comes to community suggestions or criticisms in the way things have turned out. The more we criticize, especially if we use user-taken data, the more they resist. 4) What are you doing to increase the player base? There is a very limited amount of ways for people to find out about DUST514. Word of Mouth seems to be the best method, but many of us still playing have been people that got beta keys from signing up via the EVE newsletter. The smaller ticker message that is nearly impossible to read, and ignored by most on the XMB. And lastly, looking in the Playstation Market for F2P games. I am not a part of a gaming community (well, video game community) so I would have never heard of this game if it weren't for the EVE news letter. I rarely go to the Playstation Market, and the only reason I even knew that there was a DUST add on the XMB was because of a post on the Announcements and Events page. I believe that this game can *persist* for a long times, but I do not believe it can ver really thrive without some overt form of advertising. Are there any plans for something like that? What are some ways you think can expand the player-base? 4)NPE, new player experience is still severely lacking. The addition to 1.5 was a very good step, however you are still missing a several levels of interaction. dozens of aspects in this game that need to be taught to someone new to console FPSs. This, DUST514, is the first console shooter I have ever played for more than 20 hours. My console shooter experience is from playing a game at someone else's house. My game collection is about 90% JRPG, 5% 2-D Sidescrollers, and 4% US RPG and 1% miscellaneous. This falls within the 1%. But as I've said earlier, I'm an EVE vet. First played in 2006. I know the rules to EVE, "Specialization is key." And maybe I'm just old, because I'm used to games coming wth "Game Manual" that has all the information you need to know within it. The new tutorial aspect is . . . nice . . . but there are so many aspects of this game that it does nothing to explain. There are no tips either. And the old walls of text don't ever really help -aside from the fact hat most FPS gamers don't read anything that long. What plans are their to bring up to the point where they can explain everything? Or at least be sufficient? +Éß¦ëddGêÇ -çou -Äll+É-çoGö¦

This would allow much more variety in bonuses (since basic, advanced and proto could be different as well as side grades) and more scope for object expansion without every object having to have it's own skill ... best example being Pirate Faction gear, you currently can't apply bonuses to it without giving it it's own skill.

Kevall Longstride DUST University Ivy League 655	Posted - 2013.11.13 13:03:00 - [85] - Quote Ok having slept on it and spoken to a couple of peeps I'm going to streamline the list of 30 questions I posted earlier here and break them down to the three main ones I would want answering and my reasoning for why they need to be addressed. Having a list of 'When, how and why' questions is likely to have them grouped in with all the others and ignored to be honest. So my first question is as follows. We've been told that Scotty the AI (the matchmaking algorithm for those of you unfamiliar with him) needs more players joining the game for him to be more accurate and ensure that higher skilled players are kept away from those that are just starting. Anyone playing pub matches can tell you that this is simply not happening. The easy assumption to make is that the player pool needs to grow. However, the biggest turnoff for new players in this game is the way that they get thrown in with the better players and get stomped. So 'How are you going to promote the growth of this games new player base using new game design?' is my question. Simply saying, 'this is New Eden and HTFU' is moronically shortsighted and harming the long term growth of the game. If new players don't feel they're progressing or getting better noticeably in a couple of days, they leave and go back to COD, the player pool stays as is and Scotty may as well be an insurance actuarial program for all the good he does in matchmaking. So I believe its time for some deliberate filtering of newer players from the vets. The academy is a good start, though handicapped by vets starting new toons just to go newb mashing but you can't legislate for people being a**holes. I don't think that it would be too difficult to do with the simple addition of a couple of game modes that won't allow fittings with advanced or complex suits and mods to be spawned. That way new players can stay in a less harsh environment till they feel capable and confident of being able to go toe to toe with the big boys. However to prevent skilled players using these filters to their own advantage I would make it so once a player hits say as an example, 5 million career SP, these filtered game modes are no longer available to them. Any competent FPS player should hold their own after that milestone. Filters like that would also be handy for later when corps and teams want to have arranged matches and have it so the skills of the players are the deciding factor, not what gear they use. Similar to the Frigate Free For All's that happen in Eve. Second question. We've heard a lot about PvE and how it may* be implemented. But we've seen or heard very little about it progressing beyond the drawing board stage. PvE is not only a great way to add an extra mode to the game, its also an excellent teaching method as to the complexities of the game and the world in which it takes place. Using a similar structure as the SOE arc in Eve, players can learn and be given skill books for the basics such as Dropsuit Upgrades and Weaponry while learning in a safer environment. It can also teach players to the need to co-operate as a team by making them squad up and take on a tougher mission boss. PvE can also add the chance for resources to be harvested by players that can be used or sold to Dust corps and eventually Eve players when the link becomes established. 'So will PvE be integrated into the NPE and how tight will that design process make its eventual arrival be tied into the Eve/Dust link both economically and gameplay wise?' And finally my third question. Having gained a reputation as being the largest cheerleader for increased corp UI in the game, it would be somewhat remiss of me not to bang the drum for it again. it took nearly a year before we got corp mail and notifications. 6 months after that, we finally got limited (but for now adequate) roles and with 1.7 we finally get the 'Mark All Read' & 'Delete All' options that really should've arrived at the same time as the corp mail with Uprising 1.0. There are still FAR too many things that are missing from Corp UI and management in Dust and nearly every Dust CEO or director of the longer established corps HAVE to use the Eve client to accomplish what they need to do on a near daily basis. Six months after the official launch and we still need the Eve client to: Check a Merc's employment history See when a Merc last logged on See how old a merc is Give a title (which by the way can't be seen in Dust but is an important organisational tool) Perform chat channel admin (blocking, kicking and baring) Use to kick en masse inactive players. (because you can't properly determine who is inactive in Dust) The list could go on.. And now with the recent stealing of a corp from a Dust CEO by an Eve player, it would seem at the moment that not one single dev at CCP, not one, thought that it might be a good idea to somehow make sure that the shares are linked and automatically gifted to the Dust player that actually created the corp, rather than leave in them in the corp wallet of a game client that is inaccessible to Dust players unless they play Eve as well. A fundamental and catastrophic design flaw was completely overlooked by every Dev. This to me demonstrates, a total lack of forward planning as to how corps in Dust are meant to arrange their own affairs. How are we to gain leverage and credence within the Eve community once the link is fully established when even the most basic tools are denied to us? We've had to cajole, pester and fight for every single corp tool we've got so far, when in all honesty, everyone single of them plus more, should have been in place from day one of the beta. So.

Vell0cet Company of Marcher Lords Amarr Empire 539	Posted - 2013.11.13 20:39:00 - [89] - Quote Are vehicle capacitors on the roadmap? Is there a rough ballpark ETA for their implementation (e.g. "after P.C. 2.0," "at least 1 year away," etc.). Can you give us a ballpark ETA on Minmatar and Amarr vehicles (3 months, 6 months? etc.)? Are you considering a fully-interactive, story-based, gameplay tutorial (similar to the original Halo, or the first Portal) with humor, excitement, to "sell" the game to players on their first playthrough? Along these lines, can we expect a wider variety of racial starter fits, to let new players realize there is tremendous complexity to the game, and that it's not just ARs (well it's mostly ARs right now, but that's a separate problem). The Academy doesn't really show off all this game has to offer right now and is one big part of why it's not retaining new players. Have you considered implementing something similar to the proposal in my signature. It's a "testing game mode" where players can go to a map with static NPCs, players have infinite SP there, and all Suits/vehicles/weapons cost 0 ISK. CCP could include beta versions of upcoming content (e.g. the new rifles) for players to test and help find bugs. This would take place on tranquillity, and not affect the players actual stats or wallet in any way. Players could invite friends (friendly fire is on) to help test fits, or find bugs. This would also help with new player retention since new players can find suits/vehicles/weapons they like and create goals they want to work towards. Quick/Dirty Test Range Idea

Then I grouped them by overarching subject. (Note: instead of removing repeat questions, I left them in so we can get a feel for where the player-base's mindset is.) (Also, understand I grouped these as best I could; there is a lot of inherant overlap between issues: PVE effects NPE, EVE Link is a part of MMO and Future Vision, etc). Quote: --PVE-- Is PVE still being worked on? If so how long in some form of reasonable timescale guestimate would you expect this to be released? I'd also like to know the state of PVE. I suspect that there are many new players that are put off by the very rough survival rate at the beginning. Having a PVE option would give them time to learn and develop before entering the meat grinder of the public matches. PVE have you considered both drones and True Sansha, because we would love to help out with Incursions. When is PvE coming and will it have a role in the NPE much like the starter profession missions in Eve? PvE. Where is it at in development? When can we expect it?* Can you even hint at what it might entail? --content (asset based)-- Any more storyline events (Caldari prime) on the works? Are the Arena SI still on the roadmap? When will the different planet types come in? Snow, Forest, Desert etc... Is there any chance of procedurally generated terrain? (not the infrastructure but the landscape?) --content (gameplay based)-- Will we see a commander suit, command vehicles or a battle commander that rides in the MCC? Can the Damage modifiers be switched from increasing DPS to switching damage output type? Thermal, EM, Explosive and Kinetic, giving much more tactical choices... What specific obstacles remain in the way of long-awaited "cloak" implementation? Is modifiable tech-3 weapons still an aspiration or has work been done on them? (EDIT: I didn't copy all the requests for the racial variants, since it's something I'm personally not that invested in, but after I found myself compiling a summery of this thread, I would like to add that for the record lots of people asked about the variants.) --gametypes-- Do you have any new gametypes in the pipeline? The 3 we have are sorta stale... Any New Game Modes on the horizon? Again with some form of timescale guestimate........ Will we get asymmetric gamemodes? E.g., Defenders starting with a hackable defender missile installation to reduce incoming dps on their MCC? Skirm 1.0 (Conquest Mode) How hard would it be to rework this type of system back into dust? Would this be a major project or side project that a team could work on? How does the CCP view the need for new game modes? What is the expected rate of new content release...specifically new maps and (especially) new objective based game modes. What are his thoughts on the current variety that we have in terms of game modes? Did content release suffer significantly because of the renewed focus on core mechanics? Does the development team expect to provide new game modes even if they will not have a direct tie-in with EVE Online as soon as they are launched? --suit roles-- Why has the heavy class been so neglected of late? The class went from being scary to being a laughing stock. Honestly both scout and heavy classes took a back seat. What's being done to give other classes a role in this game? I'd like to hear what they're going to be doing to bring a bit more love to the under-used / under-appreciated roles in the game, like heavies (currently only one racial variant and only two heavy weapons), scouts (2 racial variants, no real big niche in the game) Whats the point of scouts and heaves getting less slots than assault suits? Some suits are effectively redundant because other suits can fulfill the roles better than originally intended. When can we expect the assault suit to be changed from being a basic dropsuit with racial bonuses to something unique? Where do you plan on taking the Scout class? What specific roles do you see it playing on the battlefield? (Beside a faster assault) Large and small frames pay in slots, PG, and CPU, to specialize in their roles. What exactly are their roles, and what are you doing to improve these suits in their function? --dust eve link-- Will EVE-launched OBs ever be able to target and destroy surface infrastucture? Thoughts on how Valkyrie will interact with DUST and vice versa? Apart from Fac War, how will Dust mercs and corps be of value to Eve pilots and corps? I would like to be able to use dust mercs to bring things out of reinforcement on the eve side. any chance I'll be able to do that someday? what are the most practical and low effort / high impact ways to incentivize EVE side participation and support of Dust? Why haven't we implemented those steps yet and when are we? --less lobby, more MMO-- How and when are we going to evolve DUST out of the lobby shooter structure it's currently trapped in? Is that going to happen on the PS3 or will we need to wait for a more robust platform? What are the necessary and sufficient conditions for CCP to begin thinking about allowing us to break out of the lobby and into the sandbox? When will I, as a merc, be able to head out onto the land, set up my geodesic cabin, and build a still and start producing some fine single malt up in those alien hills? --your vision-- What still needs to be addressed, if at all, before you feel the game has a good solid foundation to work with? Where do you see Dust in a year? 5 years? Where is this game going? What is being focused on specifically? [Continued below.]
Celus Ivara Expert Intervention Caldari State 127	Posted - 2013.11.14 08:16:00 - [93] - Quote Quote: --3rd party-- When can we have more Crest, yes I know you guys are working on it and have a decent idea on why we have not gotten more than we have, Love the current access, just want more. During the Dust roundtable at Eve Vegas there was talk of a 3rd party SDK for Dust. Can we get some more details on that? --NPE-- When will we have a full militia lineup of all weapons? This is important to the NPE. How much further has work on the NPE progressed? With the small player base meaning that Scotty the AI cant prevent high skilled players getting into matches with new players are there plans to artificially keep them separate till Scotty can? Scotty can't work well with too few players, protostomping is putting new players off. Vicious circle.. Where are we with being able to have practice fields or tutorials that don't involve being thrown into a match with others? Are corp firing ranges/ practice matches still on the roadmap? I'd like to hear about what this game is going to be doing to attract and retain new players going forward --corp tools-- More Corp control and integration with EVE side, please, if eve can do it, we should have the tools for it as well. note recent ceo issues. Corp Hangers and fittings on the way? When are Dust mercs going to get full admin powers over chat channels they created? When is corp UI going to fixed as to hinder EVE pilots able to steal Dust corps using shares? When can a merc's employment history, title and bio be seen in Dust? When will medals be grantable for corps to permanently reward their members which will go with them throughout their careers? Will a way to pay multiple mercs for a battle rather than individually be forthcoming? Can corps have a automatic sliding scale of payment to its mercs based on war points earned or a fixed payment system. --vanity stuff-- Will we be getting appearance customization? When are permanent vanity items gong to be here? Golden skinned guns, suit lighting, different coloured laser beams, etc etc? Corp customized colours for dropsuits, doing our own paint jobs for Aurum etc. Is this being developed or will it be? Will CEO's have the ability to have a corp livery for suits and vehicles? (I'd pay good money for that) Will Corp MCC's and Warbarges, both inside and out, reflect the crop livery? --misc-- When will ALL statistical increases in Dropsuit/Vehicle attributes from skill increases be shown on a fitting screen? Will the vehicle rebalancing require a partial re-spec for vehicle skills? What role will the BPO's already in the game play in the future? Are they sellable, planned to be used in industry, refunded as Aurum to spend on permanent vanity items? Are the Devs aware of and/or concerned about trends toward weapon/role homogeneity? ...So for the sake of people acctualy having lives, here's the TL:DR. TL:DR PVE!!! Where is it? SOONtm-ed a long time ago, and would fix so many problems. Player base getting bored. Need new content. Espicially new game modes and racial suits/weapons/vehicles. (New maps are welcome too, but the map guys have been actually talking to us, so no one's stressing about it.) LogiSuit514. Logis are better at assaulting than Assaults are, and Heavys and Scouts are having trouble performing their roles. Thoughts?? EVE link. Dust's connection to New Eden is it's primary USP in a market saturated in FPS's. What's the near, medium, and long-term status of this? Closely related to the above, "where my MMO at?" Dust is supposed to be an MMO-FPS, but we're seeing a lot of one and little of the other. Again, what's the near, medium, and long-term status of this? Need more meat for the grinder! NPE, some good work has been done recently; what more can we expect in the coming updates? No bunnies in the board room. Dust-side corp UI is limited to the point of being broken. Needing an EVE char to manage this is absurd. Again, some good work has been done recently; need to know more is in the near-term pipeline. Shut_up_and_take_my_money.jpg! Vanity items (corp and player side). Feel free to put them in whenever's convenient for you. But understand, the sooner they're in, the sooner you can expect a massive jump in your ARPU.

It took a lot of time actually; I was worried it wouldn't be useful. :) Though there are a lot of vital issues in the game right now, I actually have a lot of faith that CCP are aware of them, and actively working on resolving them. So, in the end, I think these are my only three real questions (since I feel they're very important, but for some reason CCP has been strangely silent/slow-moving on them): - PVE Would add greatly to MMO, Immersion, NPE, and gameplay variety. Assets, design and (presumably) code were demoed a long time ago; where is it? - Corp UI Corps are vital to New Eden, but the Dust UI incomplete to the point of being functionally broken. We'd like an assurance that CCP agrees this is a priority; that small fixes are coming in the near term, and that big fixes are coming in the medium term. - Game-types We need new content. While I have faith that maps and racial variants are coming, there has been little talk from CCP about new gameplay variants. While full-MMO is the long term goal, in the mean time while we are trapped in the lobby-shooter, a quickly coded new activity (Domination variant with a moving objective, or a CTF with a slapped-on narrative reason for it, or Skirmish 1.0, etc..) would give a lot of gameplay bang for CPP's development buck.

(IE assassin/hacking/intel scouts and shield wall/Juggernaut heavies descriptions below) -When will the maps be opened up more? frankly tanks and dropships are just not going to work on the playing areas we currently have(please prove me wrong ccp Wolfman, I don't see it happening tho) -when do we get lunge or sprint while charging nova knives? -when do you expect to be ready for a PS4 release?(I'm assuming that you are holding off on that until the game is actually release ready) -new maps are AWSOME!!! Why do they never seem to pop up in FW? -the two part skirmish from the pre E3 build, I know we are not getting that back but might we see something like it in the current maps soon?? so much unused space. -do you play and if so what races rifle will you use, if any? -Can swarms get their dumb fire back with this range nerf? while the swarm shotgun was op against infantry, it was the only way to fight tanks danger close. -whats the plan with scouts? If light frames work the same way med frames do, the minmatar assault will move faster then the amarr scout. I know their are technical limitations but the speed gap needs to be widened or scouts serve no purpose. although again good roles for scouts could mitigate this. -I wanna ask what the designers of the plasma cannon were thinking, but damn I love that thing too much to knock it. - why are large turrets better at anti infantry then small turrets?? why not give them higher cyclical rates and better accuracy then the large???? and why are large turrets almost pinpoint accurate?? -whats your favorite shooter prior to your involvement in dust? -why did you move away from the denial of area/crowed suppression/support mass driver to the more, one on one, direct fire MD that exists now?? -why not give logis smaller clips, or lower ammo caps, so as to remove their teeth with out preventing them from defending themselves/doing their jobs? if its been discussed what other Ideas have been thrown around. -redlines and hiding/fight in them, have their been any conversations about this, or is this just gonna be left alone, or is it an artifact that will be a none issue in a later iteration of this game. ill stop there....... for now. t2 light frames: 1) intel scout bonus to scan ranges and shared tacnet vision, if a cov ops cloak equivalent is made in dust can used covops cloak 2)assassin scout, bonuses to damage at a loss of clip size, covops cloak 3)hacking scout, bonuses to hacking speed T2 heavy frames: 1) shield wall heavy can deploy a shield that protects them from the front for a set period of time but can barely more when deployed. 2) Juggernaut heavy can run in a straight line at near lav speeds for long distances, but cannot run again until stamina is fully recovered and moves extremely slowly until it does.

What I can tell you is that you guys should make sure you verify your email address at http://www.dust514.com/user because for our free item, we're giving away something entirely new to all our verified email newsletter subscribers - something that is being added into 1.7 - and this will be coming your way in the second week of December!

We get told great things are coming but never get told when they are canceled. Whole parts of the orginal forums blue posts even appear to have been removed from the dust forum. So far I count 78 removed blueposts from older threads that were there until the end of beta. We get you don't want to promise content or interviews when you can't deliver. But we feel like you're just messin with us sometimes I hate seeing blue tags forever removed ;_; Poor old devs.
