If some accounts on each race's history was in Dust, as well as a news tab on developing lore, I think people would be more likely to at least attempt to get involved.

Its not just that I think Dust itself needs to encompass more lore, not just facts and figures for people like me to spout off at random but context within the greater universe of New Eden.

We are mercenaries sure, but we need to understand what we are doing in the grand scheme of things......battles should feel like smaller wholes of a galactic warmachine, faction warfare group should know and understand the basic aspects of those they fight for, and in PC each battle, when and if they unlock, should remind players that they are fighting for their home ground.

Events are a start but cannot always be hosted however we do need more of them though.

True Adamance i am considering writing a short story and i will sent you an inbox with the basic idea to it and hope you will give me some pointers

steadyhand amarr TeamPlayers Negative-Feedback 2421	Posted - 2014.03.05 10:15:00 - [1] - Quote As someone who spends more time chatting in dust than i do playing the dam game, iv decided i want to promote are little community to CCP a little more to try and encourage more of it. so i figured the best way to do this is gather voices on how they feel RP and fiction is handled within dust at the moment and what you would like to see. myself: in game i would really really like some sort of social space i could either buy (like a bar) that people could hang out in while they wait for PC matches or just to chill out in-between sessions. i would also love some fiction based Events as Cal Prime really boosted the RP aspect of Dust and i know many of us old timers have written that event into our stories. thoughts from anyone eles "i dont care about you or your goals, just show me the dam isk" winner of EU squad cup GOGO power rangers

Give me more of this. If not cross-game, at least on Dust. Like pirates trying to steal cloak schematics from a Caldari base and choosing whether to defend or attack.

I just feel very powerless to do anything as we have no way of doing things in dust. Unlike EvE where its crazy easy to pull events together. Might ask what it would take to get special contract matches set up just for Rp stuff, like on base meeting that gets ambushed etc. "i dont care about you or your goals, just show me the dam isk" winner of EU squad cup GOGO power rangers

Ermac Vesely Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 39	Posted - 2014.03.07 14:01:00 - [12] - Quote Well the problem here is that the people don't see this as a rpg but more like a regular sci fi shooter. ( I have never seen good rp in these shooters or forum activity except in the balancing department) That and we don't have many people which means that we need to promote this part of the forums AND we need to educate these soon to become writers, because success and good quality is the best commercial in my opinion but the quality has to remain good to get even more people. For an example could we ask some of the better known EVE rp community writers and get some tips on how they got such a big community. I mean they had to start that up too right?
steadyhand amarr TeamPlayers Negative-Feedback 2486	Posted - 2014.03.07 14:18:00 - [13] - Quote They did it over 10 yeara with a vastly bigger communty than what we have. I agree we need to promote Rp but members of communty have been very hostile to anyone trying to get into it because the qulaty is bad or they dont fully get the lore. So our little conmunty needs to be far more tollrent of new starters until we get our numbers up again. And that invloves showing people where they went wrong rather than just ripping on them. Maybe a new commers subsection? "i dont care about you or your goals, just show me the dam isk" winner of EU squad cup GOGO power rangers

Usefull for natartive and world building. Or player actions have a strong impact on world events.

Avinash Decker Seykal Expeditionary Group Minmatar Republic 109	Posted - 2014.03.17 20:11:00 - [24] - Quote It would acquire a combination of things first would probably be more in game events and second more easy access to lore , but that have to be in game as well. Also the lore has to be interesting enough for people to get involved putting it in a lot of text won't draw many and only the ones that was already interested anyway. For example put characters like Heth in big roles if you are Caldari or something . It would be hard for a lobby based multiplayer only game like Dust so they might have to do it like Titanfall , Brink , or through coop based PVE .
