Not even Beta Testers since we won't be testing any new content.

Client updates are only necessary when adding assets which will mean no more guns, suits, ect. However balance adjustment , game mode changes, ect. can be applied via hotfix, which is a server-side update.

Just because they're not adding more weapons and suits to Dust hardly means zero support.

Hey everyone!

Great to see all the feedback youGÇÖve posted so far. Please keep it coming. For DUST 514 we obviously have a long list of stuff to do but IGÇÖd like to hear on the specific items below if possible. For Project Legion, itGÇÖs more high level concepts IGÇÖm after at this stage as weGÇÖre still figuring out the outline of the experience.

DUST 514

• Role and gear balance
• Ways to improve Planetary Conquest
• Other stuff you want us to jump on that can have a direct impact on gameplay quality.

Speaking of which, IGÇÖll get back to you guys next week with more info on how weGÇÖll proceed for DUST. Our plan is to be as transparent as possible, which I know itGÇÖs easy to say now, but itGÇÖs what weGÇÖre working towards. Your primary point of contact in the dev team, which IGÇÖll introduce next week, will have the mission to engage with you all and of course CPM as early as possible. Stay tuned, I think you'll like him. :)

Project Legion

• The Starmap as the door and guide to New Eden
• Wild PvP / The Sandbox areas where you fight other players and drones (in its first iteration) to scavenge for loot
• New ways to link with EVE

For Project Legion, I recommend you post your thoughts in the new Project Legion forum that CCP Frame pointed out earlier in the thread.

Again, IGÇÖm super eager to hear what you have to say and trust me, every post is being read by the team and I. YouGÇÖll see more of us engage with you all moving forward.

Leaving the game not even in a half-finished state with a lot of missing assets, environments, etc. means very little support at this point.

Then again, "currently looking at" could just as well mean "what the devs are working on as we speak", that's how I read it. Doesn't say they won't make client patches in the future. Doesn't say they will do it either ofc.

Namely due to hardware limitations and a poorly designed game foundation.

What kind of support for Dust would be acceptable to you at this point?

Lol
Have you played anything other than dust on the ps3? The real limitation with Dust is the programmers behind it.

And as I said, poorly designed game foundation. But we can't change the base code structure at this point without starting over, which is what they're doing with Legion.

Nonetheless my question still stands, if you were in charge, how would you handle this situation? Im genuinely curious.

If i were in charge i would hire the person that did the coding for MAG i think zipper was his name from ccp. If i knew my team was not used to writing code for the ps3 i would hire people that were.
I wouldn't have even started making a game for the PS3 without having several experienced coders for the PS3. Seems elementary to me to hire people that are competent in a area for a specific project. Would you have someone that was totally new to networking build your network?

But that would require starting over from scratch would it not? That being said, would you start over on PS3 or on another platform?

I think you have to understand that the Devs are currently terrified of making any promises even if they fully intend to do it in the future. That being said they're going to continue to be very non-committal for quite a while.

I do understand that, though I wouldn't use the word "currently" since it implies this something new that will pass soon, neither of which is true. What I do not understand, however, is why you felt that was a relevant reply to my post ;).
