Is it too much to ask for a single, central location for Dust news? Currently there are at least six sources (not including IRCs) for Dust news, and rarely do they all have the same info. Having to search through the forums for the latest news is ridiculous.

The mileage and goodwill to be gained from implementing this common sense measure are significant. It would up the level of the conversation by giving peeps a common reference point for game-oriented discussions.
A single place on the forums or a game website where peeps could go first to get up to speed and into the conversation.

Hey there.
I'd be interested in hearing how you would implement this - generally we try to bring the "latest" news through all of the Official Channels simultaneously (Dev Blogs, Social Media, Forum Announcements, etc). Any discussion we have that isn't through these avenues can instantly be considered the "latest news"...and I'm not sure discussing what I had for lunch is necessarily worthy of a Dev Blog.
Chicken Teriyaki Sandwich with Avocado, FYI.
But really - would be interested in getting your feedback on that. :)

People can often read faster than the amount of time it takes to watch a video retaining the same amount of information.
Let's say there was aa 3 paragraph article here and you decided to make a video reading those paragraphs, it would take you longer to relay that information since you have to focus on reading and speaking while your peer can just read and process it faster by utilizing less resources in the brain. Also, you could make some speculations on your videos to attract views, but that would only increase the amount of time being spent watching a video rather than moving on to read another article containing possibly more information.
I could really go more in depth, but I'm lazy. It's science.
Your videos are, however, to my liking so keep making them. |

It's often far better to have more than one source in my opinion. Eve Online has the same way of decentralized news.
The Eve Online Login Screen
forums.eveonline.com
community.eveonline.com
Twitter
Fail... err Facebook
Google+
www.themittani.com
www.evenews24.com <---read at your own risk
etc.
Besides, there are people out there who don't really bother to browse the forums so social media and the login screen is often the only way to broadcast the information to them of any changes or events that are coming.

I should clarify- it's not that there's no news- it's that there are too many sources, and they don't all pair up. During the 12 days of Dust for example- there was a separate website listing the prizes each day, but Facebook/Google+ would list some items, while Twitter would list others. Meanwhile logging into the game- there was no info about what the daily prizes are. Ditto on the news portion of the website.
I admit, I almost missed out an event or two because I didn't check any of the forums, Twitter, etc. before a weekend event. If the sources can't all display the same info, then (to borrow Joel II X's suggestion)- a singular Information Hub in the game seems most logical to me.

Well, there's already a single source for all information that's been giving by a Dev on the forums:
The Dev Posts tab.
I click on it daily. Everything official is contained right there, as far as forum and blog posts though. (And a few dozen entertaining daily lock posts tossed into the mix for good measure.)

Build an app that uses the dust API. That would solve pretty much all those issues.
1. Would provide News
2. Would provide Blogs
3. Could provide event notifications
4. Could provide event progress
5. Fitting tools
6. List goes on and on
I understand that EVE has made CCP reliant on community built tools, but console players /=/ PC players.
Also, there should be an easier way to get info on dev interaction in the IRC. There is a lot of "stuff" that goes on there and most of the community doesn't even know how to access it. The IRC thread dates back to the beta and its not easy to find.

+1 Maken re your point on actively maintained/promptly updated info on the login screen. It's something we all know to be true - if you want to make sure that everybody in the company sees something, one very solid technique is to staple it to their paycheque.
It is certain that nobody is argueing against multiple information sources, the issue at hand is the value of a single, centralized consise-but-completed information hub that could effectively replace the twitter/skype/irc/forum-mining process. The purpose of the hub is to allow players to know, without guessing, what information has been passed from CCP to players - one player or many players should make no difference. For the people involved in the DUST conversation this would be a big time-saver and also improve overall SNR on the forums for CCP.
It's a big win-win imo.

Are you saying console players are too stupid to interact on a level equal to that of Eve online?

@Vrain
Well to be honest, even the login screen tends to fail to convey anything to certain players. The Burn Jita assault in Eve Online is a perfect example. When goonswarm attacked Jita, a traffic advisory was posted on the login screen warning every player that Jita is under attack by goons and that entering the system is inadvisable. Traffic was jammed as well on the stargates which meant you really had to go out of your way to ignore the traffic advisory posted on the Stargate and login screen.
...
Those stupid freighter pilots kept coming into Jita anyways. Here's the thing. Lazy freighter pilots (we usually call them haulers) usually use autopilot for most of their trips in high sec space. If there is a traffic advisory warning of a jammed system, the autopilot shuts down. That means the player has to really go out of his way to get himself into the system and risked losing his 5 billion ISK cargo in the process.
Stupid is what stupid does.

I had my lols over Jita - the same thing is true for the ice interdictions, and many other examples.
But it's also true that, for those peeps who want to engage in the DUST conversation, we could prolly find some efficiencies that would serve us all(players&devs) well.

Definite confirmed changes to Dust as well as discussion threads for big changes (for instance, the respec thread) should be announced on the updates screen whenever you login. Important threads should be announced with the web address of the specific page on which to find said discussion, as well as a forum location for those who just want to look it up without typing all those letters/digits/symbols in (example: DUST 514 Forums -+ DUST 514 -+ Features and Ideas Discussion -+ The Respec Discussion Thread).
Details on definite confirmed changes to Dust should have the web address displayed as well, along with the forum location. As for what you say on the login screen.... It does not have to be an in-depth description of each change (meaning you don't have to list each individual stat change or new stats for new items), but as long as you hit all of the points involved you can say "For more detailed information on these changes, visit this forum location".
That would probably serve the game (and the forums) the best, as well let new players know we HAVE forums and that they are active.

I fully agree. I got informed about million clone event from my corp mail.
I was like: WUUT?
Then I went to forum. I found the entry but it was not where I would have expected.
Because in forum not the newest news (*eyeroll*) is on the top, the message with the newest answer is at the top.
So for me it would be nice to have a board where news are sorted to insert date and not the date the last response was made. |

First off you could make sticky threads on all race items, like one for Gallente dropsuits, then one for weapons, with all stats and bonuses... I know that you post newer weapons and the new suits, but it would be easier to click on said race, and have sub categories with lore, dropsuits, weapons ect... that way new, and also vet players know what they want to plan out for a build and what weapons they want to use. You don't even have a reliable character planner, and some of the player made ones are not user friendly, and new players will not know about them until they have wasted their SP on things, oh lets say corporation.... Like you used to get people to skill into on the older introduction. Not everyone knows what a hybrid weapon is, and what race makes it. K.I.S.S Keep It Simple Stupid.... It is hard to be shocked by some of the things you guys do and don't do anymore, but honestly, I am shocked you don't already have this on the forums... |

Also, you could make some speculations on your videos to attract views, but that would only increase the amount of time being spent watching a video rather than moving on to read another article containing possibly more information. I could really go more in depth, but I'm lazy. It's science. Your videos are, however, to my liking so keep making them.
I agree that its far quicker to read the material. I do read most if not all info.
but I get a fair amount of my stuff from videos while doing other things.
I drive for work and listen to videos from youtube channels like Vsauce Dnews rev3games etc.. video is just another medium to convey info. each having their own flaws. I wouldn't rule one out for the other.

I'd be interested in hearing how you would implement this - generally we try to bring the "latest" news through all of the Official Channels simultaneously (Dev Blogs, Social Media, Forum Announcements, etc). Any discussion we have that isn't through these avenues can instantly be considered the "latest news"...and I'm not sure discussing what I had for lunch is necessarily worthy of a Dev Blog.
Chicken Teriyaki Sandwich with Avocado, FYI.
But really - would be interested in getting your feedback on that. :)
It's just that logibro consistently breaks news of skills like the new side arm operation skills and even states that some of them are officially going to happen and others may or may not. It feels like a official source and is not always a easy way for everyone to know. there are other examples of this from other devs. Frankly if you have something set in stone you need to release that information as early as possible.

This is a very good point. If a Dev knows that they can safely talk about a particular topic in skype or on irc, the natural question is: Why hasn't that information already been shared with the playerbase?
It seems the most natural thing in the world that when new information is available an update would get posted on the forums. I'm sure knowing the facts would save a lot of peeps a lot of posting and allow them to focus on more relevant conversations.
Questions i'm always asking myself: 'what are the relevant topics right now?', 'What would be a productive area to explore in conversation/debate with other players such that the conversation might be of some use to CCP wrt the topics that they're mulling over right now?'
I feel that there is little to no guidance from CCP here on the forums that helps me answer those questions.
I support SP rollover.
