Good day DUST 514 newsletter readers,
First off - a happy 2014 to all of you! Now, I'm opening this up to the community:
What would you like to see in the newsletters this year?
Every month the DUST 514 big dogs lock me in a dark, cold room until I've churned out the monthly email newsletter, depriving me of food, water and PlayStation 3 access until the job is done. Since I am enduring these conditions for all of you, I figured I may as well produce the emails you want to read - complete with some unique content, free item giveaways exclusive to verified subscribers, latest event information, new in the marketplace notifications and so on...
But what else would you like to read? Let's discuss it in this awesome forum.

More concept art, wallpapers, screenshots, scenery, etc. I love all the art and detail your art guys do for Dust and EvE, I'd like to have more of it.

Wait, KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf, is that just a list of requests for free stuff? I'll see what I can do. There's a big freeb coming next week, but I can't say more right now.
Vulpes Dolosus: GREAT - you're going to be happy, then, as I am starting an 'Artist Focus' regular as of this month. |

What would you like to see in the newsletters this year?
A. A shout-out to the first ten posters in the next newsletter.
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).

This is good stuff, thank you.
A: I'll see what I can do!
B might be a little difficult from the room I'm locked up in!
C sounds cool and I will speak to the Data Robots in Iceland to see what they can deliver in terms of this kind of thing.
D is something we are already underway with! |

Yeah, just a free stuff request. Also, I LOOOOOVE his idea about showing concept art and stuff; concept art is always great. Hopefully it will be new stuff we haven't already seen.
EDIT: Can't really think of anything I want to see besides unique free stuff, concept art, and some reveals from devs.

Hmmmmm. OK, I'm looking into why some Gmail users are receiving just fine, and others are not. Sinboto Simmons, I can see you are subscribed but I get no indication of activity, whereas Syeven Reed, I can see you have opened and even clicked on some of the mailings.
Did you not receive the 12 Days of DUST mailings? One was sent on Christmas Eve, and one one the 2nd of January?
You know that you have to both subscribe and verify your email address?
This will not do. No, this will not do at all. |

With each news letter I want to see the roadmap in its current changed state. So we have an idea of what 6 months down the road maybe coming.
A revised list of bugs and map fixes
That you let CPM see your news letter and give you feedback before controversy happens.

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.

This will not do. No, this will not do at all.
I got two, 12 days of dust e-mails, ("win rewards for victory" and, "Three rewards still inbound"). But had to send off a ticket for the 3-day active skill booster link.
Hope that helps!

How's about the people who read the newsletters get exclusive news. Like reading patch notes a day before everybody gets to read them.

There is some content that only goes live when we are sending the newsletters, but because everything is hosted on dust514.com we have it all open to the public. Newsletter subscribers are the first to hear about this content, however.
What we do offer as an exclsuive to newsletters is that the free items are only available to those who subscriber. |

- Small interview with different devs in the studio of what they are working on (A sentence to a paragraph).
- Devs favorite weapons/suits
- Devs favorite moments in Dust be it by themselves or watching other players
- Artist stuff (Concept art, 3D Models, etc)
- Graphs/charts to show what might be going on in the market
- "Heatmap Charts" of what are the current hot items players are using the most and least of in terms of gear.
- How much ISK was gained and lost for the past month and in what areas. (Could also be for LP in FW)
- How many OBs were used in Faction Warfare and Planetary Conquest, to see how much EVE players are helping to play a role. Public Contract OBs don't feel as meaningful.
I could probably list some more but it's 1 in the morning and I am tired. x_x |

But your list is great, so feel free to suggest more when it's not 1 in the morning! Thanks for the suggestions. Confirming that improving "Artist stuff (Concept art, 3D Models, etc)" is one of my focuses for this year. |

First off - the choice to receive the newsletters in our language of choice, regardless of the localization of our PSN account.
2nd - Love those free goodies you guys send out - it would be nice to personalise it somehow, giving out versions of the weapon you use the most (akin to the event rewards). I'm all for receiving free stuff, but until there's a player market (which won't be soon), receiving 50 burnstalk laser rifles is kind of underwhelming, especially since the weapon itself is underwhelming, but maybe this was the purpose of the give-away? It would be interesting to see how this is decided from your end.
3rd - exclusive news that is only available via the newsletter - although I don't see how this is possible, as most of the exclusive news comes out of the forums, and even then it's not even "official" exclusive content, but a mixture of rumour mongering combined with a quoted IRC chat log...
4rd - exclusive marketplace promotions only available to newsletter subscribers. Again, I don't see how you could do this easily from a technical perspective but it would be nice... |

How would you like this data presented?
Don't you think this would work just fine as a regular news post and a forum thread about it and discussion on social media?
Thing is that newsletters don't always come out on the exact day each month, so some specific data will only have had 3 weeks some months, and five weeks or so during other months, because of other content or events we coordinate the newsletter send date with.
It's a cool suggestion though - thank you. |

Thanks for all the suggestions.
1. Which language would you like to receive it in?
2. I can assure you that none of our free giveaways are intended to be underwhelming. Absolutely not. We have a bigger giveaway this month, but I'll let you wait until next week to see if you prefer it. (I don't think it will be underwhelming at all!  )
3. As I mentioned a little earlier, there is some stuff that is tied to coincide with the newsletter and newsletter subscribers are the first to hear about it, but because all the news is publicly available on the website, we can't promise exclusivity in that area at this time.
4. This will be an interesting one to raise with the right people and I'll see if there is anything that can be done. I can't promise anything, however.

How about gear themed for the month? For example, this month has events based around the scouts, some 'scout gear' (suits, kinetic catalysers, etc.), or some pretty pink gear for Valentine's Day! (Cupid's Sniper Rifle)
Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

(I don't think it will be underwhelming at all! ) 3. As I mentioned a little earlier, there is some stuff that is tied to coincide with the newsletter and newsletter subscribers are the first to hear about it, but because all the news is publicly available on the website, we can't promise exclusivity in that area at this time. 4. This will be an interesting one to raise with the right people and I'll see if there is anything that can be done. I can't promise anything, however.
Wow you are really on a roll today. :)
Just to answer 1. For example I am based in France, and I receive the newsletter in French, but would prefer to receive it in English. I did raise a support ticket about this a while ago but was just told this is not possible - which is what I meant when it would be nice to receive newsletters in different languages than the one your psn account is tied to.

Did you not receive the 12 Days of DUST mailings? One was sent on Christmas Eve, and one one the 2nd of January?
You know that you have to both subscribe and verify your email address?
This will not do. No, this will not do at all.

we're suckers for the lore as well. how about a short, episodic continuing story in every news letter? we have writers that love that kind of thing if you guys dont have anyone official anymore like u did for the stranded series [which was great btw] i'm sure the community is full of guys who would love to contribute as long as u advise them of official canon. |

Some good suggestions in this thread, personally I would just like the newsletters to be more informative. How about roadmaps, long term content goal etc...
Also never seeing the words SOONGäó in regards to content in newsletters would be lovely, even something like PVE in the next 6 months is better than SOONGäó. I think CCP should be setting goals for things and striving to meet them fair enough if you miss one people will get angry but having no idea about what is coming or when is worse in my opinion,
You could also add in questionnaires could be about many different things and it would be an effective tool to gauge what people like/dislike about DUST at the moment. SOONGäó will feature pretty high on the dislike list lol.

Free stuff is good, preferably AUR stuff because you can't get it with isk so it feels like more of a gift.
It doesn't have to be 50x either.
Teasers, WIP screenshots and other talking points will foster discussion and buzz without feeling like you're forcing it. Wizards Of the Coast is really good with managing the publicity around its releases, and one of the techniques it uses is the concept of channel teasers: each media channel will get an exclusive preview of a different part of the next release (this includes media channels, so often various web sites will get the opportunity to present a card or piece of artwork). So, being able to sneak in a preview for a new weapon or suit (even with preliminary stats) will really drive subscription take-up.
Of course, for this to happen, you'll need a ready stockpile of teasers; WotC's production schedule means they're working at least 18 months in advance, but you'll have significantly less notice :)

Would like some overview statistics like, "As of xx date we have 800k Immortal Mercs in New Eden", "xx of you have logged in since xx date", "20k new immortals have been born since xx date", "there are xx corporations in New Eden as of xx date", "500k of Immortal Mercs are 1 year old as of xx date", "Congrats to xx Merc Name Here, top logi for the xx to xx time frame based on healing given"
Unique things with stats. As long as you state time frame, I think it works. The more details stats, the better. Last suggestion was to introduce player highlight for a time frame, so most kills, most healing, most assists, etc.

I think overall statistics would be nice. Dropsuits killed, be specific, like scouts vs logis vs heavy. Vehicles as well.
Explaining game mechanics. Things like stacking penalties, profile/precision/range, weapon profiles and resistances etc. Just overall how to better understand the game. I think there are a lot of unanswered questions about this game that no one reallllly knows.
The quest to determine what 514 means (lore)
How the current development is going, have CPM/CCP put in a column about how things are fairing and give us an update. Even if there isn't any thing to really "say" some communication is better than hearing nothing. The current CSM member Ripard Teg does an excellent job of this on his blog and could be a great place to get ideas for how to structure it.

I could probably list some more but it's 1 in the morning and I am tired. x_x But your list is great, so feel free to suggest more when it's not 1 in the morning! Thanks for the suggestions. Confirming that improving "Artist stuff (Concept art, 3D Models, etc)" is one of my focuses for this year.
Cool, thank you.
I think there could always be more statistical stuff, for kills on a class of dropsuit, death, vehicles. This letter in particular for Janurary could be a nice wrap up of the years stuff instead of just monthly as requested. So from January 1 2013 to January 1 2014 there will be a stats chart similar to this possibly: https://www.borderlands2loothunt.com. You could do that for a lot of the stuff requested. by the people in this thread.
Shoutouts to different corps, blogs, video makers related to Dust 514.
Lore is always nice to see to look at what is going on around us as Dust players. It could even be a monthly story of sorts.
Another thing I would like to see if you guys have any heatmaps for particular sockets or maps to see where the most combat heavy areas are located, if you guys have such data anyways.
An idea came into my head that is of a small Q&A. Players can post in a thread that yourself or whoever else works on the newsletter to answer these questions yourself or other devs in the studio could. You can always choose which go into the newsletter of course.
That's all I can think of for now. |

Could you give 25 free Rail Rifles with no prerequisites; so that people, who haven't, can try them out before spending SP to skill into them ?
(edit) ... by the way, why didn't you give out free examples of both rifles in the Newsletter (like 10 of each) when you released them, instead of only the Combat Rifle?

It's a cool suggestion though - thank you.
You could delay the date range. So in January's newsletter, you could give the stats for December for example. I really like the idea of posting stats. Maybe make a "stats box" in the corner. Stats I would like to see would be things like ISK destroyed, # of EVE orbital bombardments in FW, # of PC districts conquered, etc.
A brief FW summary would be cool too. Something like "Minmatar forces pushed hard in the early part of December taking x systems, but we're met with a strong counterpunch as the Amarr forces rallied to the cause in the third week reclaiming x system. Caldari and Galllente forces remain locked in a vicious stalemate and have seen the largest number EVE of orbital strikes to date." It's a totally fictional example, but gives a sense of the tone that would be fun to read.

I find all of mine in the "Promotions" folder of G-Mail.
Regarding the Newsletters:
I would like a piece of lore thrown in every now and then. For example at the moment you could write about how the State Protectorate is struggling on the Ground against the Federal Marines. So stuff the players experience themselves. Maybe with some of the more important NPCs saying a line or two about the current state. You could also add some stats in there:
Districts flipped / defended in the last month. Biggest hotspots and so on.
And also a small thing. If you could forward that to Team True Grit: I like the FW Statistics at the end of the match. But the "Districts owned" in percentage thing needs another small thing: Something that tells us how much districts we own lees or more after the battle. (yeah. 1 of course) but I would like to see this one district with some kind of "+X% control" or "-X% control"

Well this is a news letter so:
Some updates on what has happened in DUST. Corps that have joined PC, and corps that have left PC, at least tin terms of owning districts. Some neutral reporting would be nice.
Fac War developments. Weather one side is making good use of Districts in order to capture systems. That kind of thing. Maybe a look at what EVE pilots have done the most orbital strikes, so we can recognize those names better in game, and know who to call upon.
Something to give the world a more persistent feel. It is nice hearing about stories in EVE, lets try to have them in DUST. |

I wasn't avoiding your question, and no, not it's not safe - nor correct - to say that nothing will be done to rectify this.
I've looked into a number of cases in this thread already and found that mails are being delivered and opened. I'll look into yours now, as this is obviously not what we want, and there is something wrong sometimes (generally with the subscriber's ISP or mail service incorrectl flagging our mailings as spam) and users sometimes have to take the extra step to manually add our sender address to their safe senders list.
I'll post in here when I know more.

Every month the DUST 514 big dogs lock me in a dark, cold room until I've churned out the monthly email newsletter, depriving me of food, water and PlayStation 3 access until the job is done. Since I am enduring these conditions for all of you, I figured I may as well produce the emails you want to read - complete with some unique content, free item giveaways exclusive to verified subscribers, latest event information, new in the marketplace notifications and so on...
But what else would you like to read? Let's discuss it in this awesome forum.

OK - I've just gone into the system and checked your b*******2@hotmail address shows no activity. It is subscribed, though, which I can only assume means Hotmail/MSN are flagging a false positive and sending our mailings straight to spam. Have you checked your spam/promotions/other folders to check for DUST emails?
Have you tried any other email service provider? I know our Gmail subscribers receive them either directly into their inbox or into the 'Promotions' folder.
Let's get this sorted out

That's a lot of stuff for the game itself and not so much for the newsletter - what I can do for the newsletter is to try and include links to videos when they are released, but beyond that your requests probably belong in another thread. I can't, say, ensure a maximum of 4 vehicles per team in my emails.

Do you have a second email address you can try just to check where the issue is? If you can go to the /user page and change it, then verify and see what happens?
If that works - and it should - you should be able to then just change back to your Gmail account, verify that and be in the system just fine.
I'll work with the back-end crew later this month to try and determine what's up here - seems Hotmail and Gmail users are definitely experiencing some problems. Hopefully this will not be something we can't resolve due to it being on the Hotmail/Gmail side of things.
Any other issues you experience, feel free to post in this thread! |

I wouldn't mind getting some new exclusive suits for subscribers, maybe some special weapons, or even some specially colored vehicles. Maybe you could take a vote on what color to make a new dropsuit by giving options. Most voted gets to be a new exclusive dropsuit.
Also wouldn't mind maybe a contest. Like 'Best Perfectly Timed Picture' or even 'Best Dropsuit Design'. Where players could design a Dust Dropsuit.

I love some of the ideas on how to engage players, whether that's with statistics (I was a part of that) or questionnaires or responses to questions or letting key users write advice articles. I think the newsletter should be used as a more formalized way of engaging the community and delivering community content with a little more polish and presentation than we get on the forums, so we can all feel engaged with the game developers and staff.
I don't think any of the rewards have been particularly underwhelming--I like the idea of distributing a handful of AUR weapons, suits, equipment and such so that we get a chance to try out something we don't usually use. The rewards don't need to be "WOW, I got the most awesome thing evar!!!" Just something that helps us engage in some aspect of the game we might not be familiar with. An alternative if it's feasible would be to occasionally feature a fully-fitted STD dropsuit or vehicle using a fit created by a community member.

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). |

CCP Blowout wrote:Good day DUST 514 newsletter readers,
First off - a happy 2014 to all of you! Now, I'm opening this up to the community:
What would you like to see in the newsletters this year?
Every month the DUST 514 big dogs lock me in a dark, cold room until I've churned out the monthly email newsletter, depriving me of food, water and PlayStation 3 access until the job is done. Since I am enduring these conditions for all of you, I figured I may as well produce the emails you want to read - complete with some unique content, free item giveaways exclusive to verified subscribers, latest event information, new in the marketplace notifications and so on...
But what else would you like to read? Let's discuss it in this awesome forum.
SPECIAL COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT INCENTIVE PRIZE:
First ten replies get to be the next ten posters in this thread!
CCP Blowout - great thread and interaction with the community. +1
Lot's of really great ideas for the newsletters, let me put my vote in for a few areas:
1) A major theme piece that similar to the dev blog features. All subsequent components or sections of the newsletter should generally touch on something in the piece...might not be a hard and fast rule but gives a nice flavor.
2) A piece or two of theme art of images of New Eden as seen by Dust mercenaries.
3) LORE...definetly some of this. New Eden has a pretty deep and complex well of back ground lore and it would be nice to begin putting some additional bricks in that wall. Even little things such as how Ishakone came to produce many "assault" variant items (perhaps due to Gallente or Minmatar influence) or how their relationship with the Minmatar drew them to producing SMGs for them. Essentially you could expand on some the threads or nuggets in the fluff descriptions for weapons, dropsuits, kit already in Dust.
4) ProTips from the Devs. Highlight a few nuggets of how some equipment or weapons might interact in ways that might not be obvious to players. Players view things from the perspective of how does a given item or action effect things and Devs tend to look from the point of view of how do items interact with things...subtle for distinct difference.
5) Stats are fascinating for many (not necessarily me) but lots fo my buddies that play really dig them so I think having some gratuitous nerdgasms in there would be ok.
6) I really like the dropsuit contest idea. I would further recommend that an operational description with some lore or character fluff be requried for the submission and a description of the "paintjob". The winning set up would be a subsequent newsletter giveaway dropsuit down the road. I do recommend setting parameters for level of suit set up. I recommend proto setup BUT make sure the dropsuit can be used with minimal to no skills. Give out no more than 10 of the suits.
7) A couple trivia questions on Dust, CCP, New Eden, some of our favortie Devs.
8) A give away item (seperate from the aforementioned dropsuit) that is tied to the newsetters theme.
LAST ITEM...i would really like to actually recieve the newsletter! I'm also one of the folks that has a very sketchy time actually recieving the newsletter.

it doesn't even need comments.. just keep us guessing to what it is or its purpose. 1 per month shouldn't be hard to find. i'm sure there is alot of it we have never seen and we get to see some of the ideas that never made it into the game aswell

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.

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.

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.

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).

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,

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).

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. :)

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.

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.
I just changed my email address and will await for any future newsletters. I remember getting the burnstalk rifles way back. I just haven't received anything since then. Will keep updated.

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.

Possibly make a different objective each newsletter, aka "best screenshot of you blowing up a tank/jeep/dropship/unsuspecting infantryman... and so on. |

What I would like to see in newsletters for each month is news about Dust affecting Eve, maybe a showcase of some really awesome battles that have happened. If possible I would like to get my hands on some say coupons for different weapon types, like a package deal that costs isk from say a corporation I have helped or the faction I belong to. Maybe each side should get a news of the war going on from say the ruler of their faction to try to muster support. In general just fun stuff, the freebie stuff is nice...but honestly more of a whatever, if I could get a high lvl weapon package deal from people I have helped out, that would truly be awesome. This could also be done with LP for the faction warfare stuff instead of just Isk. |

I'm late to the party here but I'd love to see more content about the development process, it gives context for players, provides a ready link in to any new items/features/et al that are rolling out soon and need to be showcased, displays the art and lore (setting really can make a large impact on the enjoyment of gameplay). It would also give a chance to provide an overview of what's going on/went on that month thus allowing players to use the newsletter as a quick reference and/or way to get back up to speed if they've been on vacation (as I recently was ).

I got the newsletter!!!
What's strange is:
- I never got a newsletter at Email A.
- I changed the account settings for the newsletter from Email A to Email B.
- I got the 50 lazer rifles on next login.
- I just got the newsletter at Email A.
So...changing my email in account settings worked, but it's definitely out of sync, given what my account settings is telling me Email B is what I'm signed up with. Either way, just wanted to give feedback. I'm not complaining, happy to have a newsletter!!

So strange - have you added to safe senders?
By the way, we could be going to spam if some people decide to unsubscribe by reporting as spam in Gmail rather than properly unsubscribing/changing subscription preferences... so if you are a DUST newsletter subscriber and don't want to get it anymore, take the extra few seconds to properly unsubscribe or else you could be negatively affecting how Google registers our emails sent to other players.

SPECIAL COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT INCENTIVE PRIZE:
First ten replies get to be the next ten posters in this thread!
First, the inhumane privations you are being subjected too by the Caldari top brass are deplorable, really. On the other hand, i'm enjoying the newsletter, and honestly, what's one individual's suffering in the creation of art? Rest easy that long after the hunger and pneumonia(i assume they also turn of the heat) take you your works will live on in the immortal hearts of many a hard-bitten New Eden mercenary.
One thing i've really wanted to see on the Forums, but i suppose the newletter would do just as well, is a centralized list of 'talking points'. This would be a set of topics that CCP development was kicking around for possible(or not) future development and where focused player input would be valuable. The contents of the talking points list would roll approximately with develoment cycles.
The motivation for this is forum contibutor efficiency - there's a lot of topics and potential areas of development kicking around on the forums, and what's hot on the forums may or may not have any alignment with where we are in the development cycle. It can be genuine puzzle to know where we are at in a development cycle, and not all committed players have the time to immerse themselves in irc or Skype channels. The limiting factor is time - there are many peeps who are actively striving to supply CCP with quality feedback but RL obligations for many peeps are the limiting factor.
I'm thinking it would be useful, productive and convienient for peeps to be able to pull up a list of topics from the latest newsletter, pick a topic or two, and get straight into the relevant threads with their input.
Just an idea. Keep up the good work, CCP Blowout.
P.S. If you let us know where they're holding you maybe we can slip a few crusts of bread under the door ;)

Hi - sometimes it is just not possible to send out newsletters before events start given certain timings, sorry.
Also, for those using email services such as Gmail etc - they do delivery staggering and there is literally no way we can get around that except by having players all add us to safe sender lists. So I can send the mail at 1pm on Wednesday and you might only get it 1pm on Friday purely because Google or whoever decide to do this.
Best way to ensure you get it quickly? Add us to safe senders - which also helps prevent false positives on spam flagging! Bonus win win for all! |

I may be wrong, but a good portion of us who get the newsletter are reading the forums as well. News I great, but keep it to major key areas such as looking for ideas, future of DUST514, and maybe even an advice article that may help such as tanking 101 or sniping 101. Just a short article would suffice.
As far as free stuff give options and make us choose one. A few Templars, black eagles, or some other suit (numbers vary depending on suit), or maybe the choice between uplinks, nanohives, repair tools, and scanners (again amount of items can depend on the item). Keep in mind you would only be able to redeem one, you just have options. |

How about a time frame as to when Dust514 will get stats at the level of EVE Online, the true game from CCP? Maybe an interview with a CCP Dev on the usefulness of stats to their players.
Stats would allow us to see which of the recent weapons released with a hack/patch are OP and should be included in our FOTM.
Thanks for listening.
And so it goes.

If the new events coming for Feb - March (the heavy one) was supposed to be in a newsletter, then I didn't get that one. Also checked the 'other' email account I switched from. Both spam folders are empty. Seems to be hit or miss here...

I agree. An article and some stats on how Dust has impacted Eve. How do Eve players feel about Dust and its players so far. Does Dust feel like part of New Eden or foreign. How many Eve players now play Dust. Also, how many Dust players now play Eve. An explanation of the concept of MCC travel. Is it capable of interplanetary or even interstellar travel. Or do Eve pilots transport them from planet to planet. How does Planetary Conquest and System ownership work together for both games.
Just something that helps connect players of both games so that it will feel like one universe. It can be an article every month or every 3 month ( 4 times a year).

First off - a happy 2014 to all of you! Now, I'm opening this up to the community:
What would you like to see in the newsletters this year?
Every month the DUST 514 big dogs lock me in a dark, cold room until I've churned out the monthly email newsletter, depriving me of food, water and PlayStation 3 access until the job is done. Since I am enduring these conditions for all of you, I figured I may as well produce the emails you want to read - complete with some unique content, free item giveaways exclusive to verified subscribers, latest event information, new in the marketplace notifications and so on...
But what else would you like to read? Let's discuss it in this awesome forum.
SPECIAL COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT INCENTIVE PRIZE:
First ten replies get to be the next ten posters in this thread!
I haven't received any newsletters at all, even though I subscribed.

+special colored new 1.8 suits also. Specially colored guns as well. Also, please, none of that digital print crap.
i want teh covenant suit changed to Amarr Assault seeign as its blood raider and as you say, it should be gold with red 'blood' splatters over it to mirror the covenants ships in eve
i'd also liek to see th eQuafe assault moved to Gallente Assault and also be nice to see a Black Eagle Federal Assault in th eLP store.
in all fairness though the free stuff in emails have been pretty good so far i cant reaqlly complain.
when it comes to pirate/factional stuff though i'd rather htem wait and start introducing specialized ones as they have in EVE with Navy and Pirate factions having significant improvements over standard suits but make each suit cost sat 500lp's fromt he store and pirate factin ones require thier respective races LPs so Sansha Scout suit would require 500lp from each caldari and amarr LP store. these could be brought into lore friendly by having the two races obtaining the suits/equipment as salvage from joint engagements with the pirate factions but also give them the extra perks as the ships do and also same skill reqs. a proto Angel Cartel suit require both lv5 in gallente and minmatar suits. but gets the built in bonus as well as skill bonus from each races suit.

Excellent communication in this thread, really cool to see.
Some things I would like to see in the newsletter:
- A link to some DUST 514 fiction
- MO4R Artwork
- A "scratch ticket" that has a few different prizes, really easy to win ones like a little ISK or some suits, then a few really cool prizes like some AUR, a weeks active booster, maybe just a couple grand prizes such as a BPO of some sorts
- More surveys
- Community spotlights

Hey - this has been explained here: At least one login during the anniversary event - from server up on 22 January until server down on 28 January - is required to qualify for the dropsuits. Dropsuits will be distributed on or about 29 January following server up. Additional terms and conditions may apply.
I still haven't seen these suits? What happened?

- Map Stats: Where do mercs die the most on a particular map? Could be interesting to see the hotspots on a map
- Community Q&A: Pick a good question from the community (something of moderate difficulty/complexity) and have Dev comment on it for the next newsletter

Hie CCP Blowout.
I was taking a shower before going to the gym when a great idea hit me. Why dont you add stats of kills made with CR, RR, FG or any other weapons that everyone is speaking about. Like after Asakai and all the great battles of EVE there is always a dev log made about it after, would be great to show us how it is done in Dust. It will also be a benchmark to compare against 1.8 and show us you do your "homework".
Thank you for you time.
P.S. I skipped the gym and played dust instead =P

So...changing my email in account settings worked, but it's definitely out of sync, given what my account settings is telling me Email B is what I'm signed up with. Either way, just wanted to give feedback. I'm not complaining, happy to have a newsletter!!
now I'm back to no newsletters again. I checked both emails, all tabs and both junk/spam folders. nada. *sigh*
