Honestly Blowout, I'd say you've done a fine job with the newsletters.
Good info, good layout, good writing, good art, and good freebies.
It keeps me reading.
So what I really want is... more of the same?

Some sort of In-Universe stuff would be kickass! Maybe a little blurb about what our clone mercenaries have been up to over the last month-how many NPC factions we pissed off with all of our contract fighting, things of that nature? :) |

Thanks very much! You will be getting more of the same, plus from the looks of things, stats, lore and extra bits and pieces.

Progress! I think you are set now. Sorry this has been a headache for you - blame gremlins or something. But you know what that indicates is that the verification process did not complete before, or else you would have received those 50 Burnstalks ages ago.
You should now *definitely* get the next mailing, due out some time next week |

For those who solely play DUST, it might be cool to have a section on EVE (call it "What's Up?") where monthly you summarise any interesting happenings that month, and throw in some stats for industry (how much ISK transferred hands that month, how many tonnes of Veldspar was mined) so the true scale of the universe is evident.

In case the hundred other mentions wasn't enough, we want to see more concept art.
Give me more images of the new racial suits, MAVs, speeders, etc.

Sounds like you have a fun time. In the newsletters bring a fast up date in it and long with maybe new items ONLY available to those who use the newsletters.
Maybe 1 day active boosters for a faction? This might make players play for that faction or they will just hold on to it.

CCP Blowout wrote:So what if we combined a few of the last suggestions and ran a competition where users designed a suit, weapon or what have you, and a few of us here at DUST HQ in Shanghai go over the submissions and pick out the winner. Then, that person gets to put together a fit or pick out a suit/weapon that is then given out as the freeb in the next newsletter subscriber giveaway? Just throwing it out there - not promising this can be done at this point, as it would rely on quite a few teams here and thus have a number of moving parts that are beyond my control here in the Shanghai editorial pit (read: broom closet and electric typewriter). Interesting!
I suspect that, given a no-skill requirement, there are only maybe one or two dozen really useful fits, so including the possibility of selecting a single item instead of designing a fit would be a must, I'm sure. But I like the way this engages the community, gets people looking at DUST's potential, generates even more ideas for the future, and provides us with a chance to shake up the same six fits we always use (many of us, anyway).

This will not do. No, this will not do at all.
Sorry to add another complaint about not receiving newsletters to this thread, but I have had the same problem with not receiving newsletters. This only happens on this account ("CLONE W0LF"), which I made last year. I went through the normal process for making an account and verifying my email address.
The strange thing is, when I go to my account page, at the bottom it says "You are subscribed to the newsletter." Which I guess means I verified my address correctly?
Thanks,

What would you like to see in the newsletters this year?
B. Bite-sized glimpses - have three different devs give a very short blurb (literally a sentence or two) on some thing they're currently working on, with an accompanying pic, no promises, just a peak behind the curtain as it were. C. Random stats, throw out a couple stats like "most used dropsuit", "least used weapon", "most played map" and such. D. The instructional: a paragraph of advice for new players (possibly a submitted guest column).
^ These are good ideas. Also, more art will be great :D

In James Madison University's newspaper The Breeze, they have a section called "Darts and Pats." It is one of the most loved sections of the paper.
The format is: "A [insert witty statement] dart to [target of dart- not named specifically, but described] from [anonymous description of yourself]"
The same goes for pats. It's a fun way to praise/troll people anonymously. People submit, and CCP would pick the best 3 darts and 3 pats to publish each month. You could rename them to something more lore-specific if that would be more fun.
A Dust example might be something like: "A "thanks for saving me hours of frustration" pat to a certain YouTube dropship tutorial maker , from a new pilot who is significantly less incompetent than before." or "A "thanks for ruining my K/D" dart to the combat rifle, from the Gallente assault suit."
My examples kind of suck, aren't very witty, but hopefully you get the idea of how it would work. I think we could easily come up with 3 darts and 3 pats every month. This would be a lot of fun imo.

Like others have stated, I have signed up since I believe Jun-August of last year, or maybe a bit later but since then I've only received one newsletter from you guys. That was the 12 day events one. The only other way I hear of your other newsletters are through reddit or on the forums.
everyone else pretty much stated what I would like to see, so +1 lore, +1 dev intros, +1 artwork, and +1 stats. Honestly, I'm ok with any freebie items. I don't care how underwhelming they may appear now. I just like free stuff and when the player market comes out down the road, I'm going to have a hoard of stuff to sell. :)

I am intrigued! What sort of controversy are we trying to avoid here? Including a monthly roadmap might be a bit tough, especially a 6-month down the road thing... that's just not feasible for a number of reasons. As for a revised list of bug and map fixes, this sounds good. Thanks. Luther Mandrix wrote: I want the eve community to see that a great blood conflict is happening.

OK, thanks for even more replies to go over with my morning coffee and porl baozis.
First off, for those of you suggesting things like "hover bikes" and "jet plains" (sic) and new rifles and weapon changes - sure, I can write lists of these things in the newsletter if you like, but it won't achieve much! Don't forget that this is a newsletter content feedback thread, not an in-game features feedback thread!
Next, to the mercs saying they are having trouble with emails not coming through... well, we managed to get this sorted for some users by going into http://dust514.com/user and changing email addresses, then changing email address back to what you want it to be, and then making sure you actually click the link in the verification email and get your 50 free Burnstalk rifles.
If you don't get those 50 guns, you're not properly subscribed (unless of course you received them ages ago and just forgot?)
Anyway, keep on posting here if you have completed the above steps and still your email account seems to hate our newsletters. |

Actually, that is not all. On account of not reading this entire thread yet, what I'm about to say might be another repeat. In any case I think it might be nifty to include some looks into what people are doing for teaching/experimentation/that sort of thing. Such as the big scary chatrooms and corps that go out of their way to assist new players. It does help when you know where to go for these things.

But its nice to see possibility's of what can and can not be done. And offcourse some concept art between them. |

More transparency with other devs - whether it be a quick bit of concept art they've drawn up or a short little paragraph about who they are, what they do, other game / movie genres they like and what makes them love dust so much.
ISD interviews with high profile dust players / roleplayers / corps.
Lore and story that syncs up with eve universe (I'd love to push for at least one mercenary event a month that has relevance in eve and vice versa in eve - even if its only in lore at the moment). |

When WAS the last News letter?
Can you guys send out a Short one this month? Just to be sure We're actually receiving them?
Even if it Just says
" Hi, This is to let you Dusties know that we are revamping and polishing up the Monthly news letter to be able to bring you more content that you can use and Enjoy."
"We also are asking for your feed back on what content you would like to see in future news letters in the Dust 514 forums. So, stop by the forums so we can hear your imput. "
Something like that.
It would be nice, that way I can see if I'm actually receiving them as I should.
Thank you for your support.
