What's Tiericide?

Actual sh*t they are about to put in the game rather than fancy movies of vaporware.

I've had major doubts about this game for a long time( since uprising) but it's not over until fan fest

I honestly think it was over when Uprising was such a turd. Any goodwill CCP had built up went right out the window with that build.

I don't expect this game to be anything resembling what ws promised for some years to come, and by then, most of the people who had ardent commitment to the game will give up and move on to other things.

Without PC to keep me interested, I am barely logging on to cap out my main.

More promises that look good without any mentioning if release dates so that they can release them YEARS after they're announced.

Usually never, tbh.

Actually,it just came to me.The single best news that CCP could announce at FanFest is, "CCP is proud to announce that we have passed on our development duties to DICE[or insert your favorite FPS developer],and we will just take more of a directorial and creative role".,or something to that effect.

ahahahah half of that is a good thing and half of that is a bad thing, I'm sure they'll use that amazing frostbite engine but you know DICE is still trying to fix BF4, their working on Battlefront 3, with all that going on I think they would take longer than CCP is to make this game great.

Like I said,it doesn't necessarily have to be DICE.It could be anyone that has made a competent shooter within the past five years.Treyarch,343,DICE,Crytek,Infinity Ward,Bungie,Epic,hell,anyone that half way understands about shooting mechanics and in game physics that apply to shooters would be better than CCP right now.

For me, SP Rollover. There isn't even any information when, where, how it will happen. On the fantasy wish list: being able to turn BPO items of the same type into a different race's version of that item. So Exile Assault Rifle into Exile Combat Rifle, Sever Minmatar Logistics Suit into Sever Amarr Logistics Suit, Toxin SMG into Toxin Bolt Pisol. One time only type thing, make it even cost AUR for all I care; I just don't want to keep having useless BPO's and want to utilize them more than make money.

This is one of my favorite small things from the wish list. I really hope that this doesn't fall by the wayside. And I really hope that this gets done really soon. It would really set quit a few things, in my mind, about this game, strait. Things that kinda **** me off at the moment. This really needs to happen.

In order for Dust to continue existing it needs PvE and a player market. PvE will keep people interested whilst the player market will allow for growth in terms of Dust's economy. The player fuelled economy will likely include aurum, and people will buy aurum to spend it on the things they want like second hand BPO's and the like.

Mainly though, without PvE, this game will not last the year.

This would be interesting to see, if this was an option for players maybe it would require some kind of crafting skill or something like that lol and might just cost quite a lot of isk to do.

This is actually something the DEVs are considering doing. Look at the forth post here:

The original thread is called "Swapping BPO Suit Race for AUR" click the link in the forth post and go to CPM Nova Knife's original thread about it. Comment in the tread so that it stays bumped and the DEVs can see that this is something that we want.

Lots and lots of pistols!

For me it would be more of that link between EVE and Dust 514 , but that's just me. What do you guys think?

Serve obscene amounts of Alcoholic Drinks and talk about this and other imaginary Ideas that may or may not make it into fruition.

I think it's pretty simple.

What i feel would work best in our situation is for CCP to clearly step up and take responsibility for what has happened with DUST development, educates us a little and explain how the situation evolved like it did and finish up with some take-away lessons and observations that CCP-as-a-developer has gleaned from the experience. Then move on to the plan to make things right.

After a bit of context and discussion of priorities and how they're approaching moving DUST forward CCP should deliver to the playerbase Rouge's detailed and realistic roadmap.

Some may say that what i'm asking for is unrealistic, but most of us have had life experiences that tells us how my suggested course of action would play out: a reinvestment in DUST by the playerbase, past and present.

There is a caveat, though. At this point for all concerned parties words won't be enough. There has to be content delivered, most wisely in 1.8, that demonstrates CCP has clearly seen the problems and has what it takes to solve them in the short-to-medium term. They will need that proof-of-credibility to get peeps back onboard, imo.

The painfully wrong-headed approach would be to market to their audience of 2-year beta testers, and pile on more talk of big features without addressing the fundamental problems facing DUST. That would most likely be the end of the road for yours truly - sometimes love is unrequited.
