So this is straight from Hilmar as he see it :
CSM8 August 2013 :
Ripard
added that there are upcoming competitors for both EVE Online the space game and
DUST 514 the shooter. "We're concerned that other companies are going to infringe
upon this fantastic combination that you are creating even before you can get it going,"
he said. Trebor added that when CCP starts marketing DUST 514 strongly (as
announced at Fanfest), the link is a potential differentiator from DUST's competition and
if it isn't a strong differentiator, it will be harder to sell DUST.
Hilmar was very understanding of the question and in particular held up Nova Knife's
posts about DUST as really hitting the nail on the head about the need to make DUST
514 a really kick-ass shooter. Over a period of a few minutes, he made it very clear thatCCP's primary focus for the time being will be to improve the DUST 514 gameplay
outside of the EVE-DUST link and build up DUST's reputation and audience in the
challenging F2P market.
Instead, the focus will be on improving the DUST experience; in particular, the focus will
be on grabbing shooter fans right from the get-go. As a result, while Team True Grit will
continue to build on the EVE-DUST link, Hilmar feels very strongly that they should
focus on the DUST experience and build a shooter that CCP can be proud of.

I am not sure if that is wise, what do you think folks.

If its only FPS you are looking for this should not be the game, I am in for it as they sold it, every bullit counts and you could take down empires.
Today there is not even a good backstory way we are playing this game, we need a lot more MMO in the game. |

I think its the players looking for a different FPS that is holding the game running today, if its FPS (grinding) thats the only focus in the next years , I think we will struggle to maintain the small playerbase we have.
And if you are waithing for all the content to drop , so look at the timeframe it have been dropping in to game so far, do we get content every second month??? not sure.
Then the time go slow if its in that timeframe things will get dropped.
Roumers are that we are getting a colt next build.....nice, I think. |

Unless you can promise an awesome shooter by next month. I don't think abandoning everything to get link there is going to be worthwhile effort though not while the game laments on poorer game play that can certainly be better. Some links can happen much much later and we have so far done with a near absence of one. I also have to constantly remind people I do have access to NDA material and you are going to have a hard time convincing me that based on facts I am looking at that somehow the link will magically keep people in the game. I think its far more important for us to establish a far better 'first 5 minutes' and that can be easily achieved 'without direct link'.
No one is talking about abandoning everything to get a link ( as you say ) our consern is that it will fade away complitly. Becouse getting this game up to a decent FPS is a long way, but what about all that CCP is nowned for , hardcore,background story, unpredictebale.
I just bought my ticket to fanfest and its my 4th time I am going there, and we have been there when Dust514 have been promoted, and it has been great, but if all this is going to get way in the background we are not talking about the same game anymore.
Wy build up alliances with EVE players, production, PVE.... Just sad to see all that going away. But I will surely be there and see what they presents, and ask questions.
Where is Dust 514 going.
