Next Steps

GÇóAdding new weapons and dropsuits with existing functionality, changing weapon damage, dropsuit hp and slots, pg and cpu values, and most of the values needed for balancing items and roles can be changed during server downtime.
GÇóThings like terrain, texture, models, animations, functionality, UI and more, cannot be changed server side and need a client update. These changes are unlikely, but theoretically possible.
GÇóIn the short to mid term we will exclusively be focusing on server side changes
GÇóWe will sort all feedback and ideas into the two categories based on technical evaluation, because it is not always obvious which one it is, and let you know
GÇóWe will aim for the first iteration pass as soon as possible. The DUST 514 team already has a sizable list of things we want to improve on.
GÇóWe will also be launching an GÇ£All the Small ThingsGÇ£ thread in General Discussions to crowdsource ideas in the next few days and gather for the next pass, again, with focus on small and quick server side updates we can get out the door as soon as possible.
GÇóAs part of the process, we will sticky specific topics under Features and Ideas and harvest feedback from those threads.

CCP Rouge C C P C C P Alliance 184	Posted - 2014.05.16 08:13:00 - [1] - Quote Hi everyone, As I mentioned in my last post, our goal moving forward is to be as transparent as possible and work in collaboration with you all. To make that happen, I'd like to introduce you to a member of the team that will be your primary point of contact for DUST 514. You may already know him as heGÇÖs been playing the game since day 1 and has been pretty active on forums. Here is his personal intro and views on the next steps for DUST.


CCP Rattati C C P C C P Alliance 1004	Posted - 2014.05.16 08:14:00 - [2] - Quote Dear players, My name is Snorri +ürnason, a.k.a. CCP Rattati. From today, I will be working closely with CCP Rouge to ensure the continued development and support of DUST 514, and will try to serve as your main point of contact for all matters DUST. In case youGÇÿre interested, my Dev Spotlight can be found here. I want to begin by establishing the two main themes that will guide our development and improvement of the DUST 514 experience. Transparency GÇóDUST 514 is my favorite shooter on the PS3 and we can and will make it even better. GÇóPersistance is the key factor, more so in DUST 514 than any other fps. There is plenty of fun to be had by squadding up with friends, skilling into various roles or specializing in a single role, and ultimately killing, winning and reaping the rewards in ISK and SP, even if Project Legion is developed on PC. GÇóPlease do not biomass your characters, it breaks my heart. GÇóAs CCP Rouge said at Fanfest, we will do everything we can to take care of our players. If Project Legion is green lit, we intend to migrate your character over if you wish and our goal is to preserve as much of your emotional, financial and time investment as possible. GÇóI want you to understand that right now you have a choice of maximizing your SP by using boosters, or saving your AUR/boosters, whatever makes the most sense to you as a player. GÇôkeep playing using boosters and increase your SP GÇôkeep playing and donGÇÿt spend your AUR on boosters GÇóOur new processes will ensure that we are fixing and improving the right things in DUST 514 at the right time GÇóI want to work with the community. I admit that I donGÇÿt know everything and I expect you to understand that we are doing our best. The individuals on the dev team, including me, will not have experienced every single thing you have. On the flipside, we have the design vision and plenty of data. There must be a mutual respect, and criticism is welcomed, if it is based on facts and put forth in a constructive way. Collaboration and Data GÇóCCP Rouge and I are strong believers in crowdsourcing. I have said many times in the past that gamers are the ultimate optimization engine, a huge neural network of smart people from all over the world and from virtually all professions. The time it takes the playerbase to find the debatably GÇ£best fitGÇ£ is measured in hours and days, not weeks. Ultimately, we, the dev team will make the final decision but I consider the community at large, through forums and CRM reps, to be the first pillar, the CPM the second and developers the third. GÇóI also believe in learning from the example of others, most notably our EVE devs, including CCP Rise and CCP Fozzie. You can see them here presenting their EVE balancing philosophy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbS8HRHJ4nY). GÇóWe will establish a few precedures and processes that will encourage a functioning feedback loop and verification with data. Next Steps GÇóA clarification on GÇ£server side changesGÇ£ versus GÇ£client updatesGÇ£. Most of the attributes of items can be changed in our backend system, called CATMA. GÇóAdding new weapons and dropsuits with existing functionality, changing weapon damage, dropsuit hp and slots, pg and cpu values, and most of the values needed for balancing items and roles can be changed during server downtime.

Finally, to those who want to continue our DUST 514 journey together I welcome and invite you to have your say. To the others, I truly wish all the best, and hope to see you again in the future. Sincerely, CCP Rattati "As well as stupid, Rattati is incredibly slow and accident-prone, and cannot even swim"

Oh well, get legion greenlit so I can start planning my next projects.

Skill progression is not really important if legion is not green lit? No new maps or content. How long will dust be supported on ps3? Will we wake one morning to more announcements like fan fest? Any info on changes to planetary conquest? Passive isk being removed/ clone packs being larger? We need some concrete info/time frames

The ideas are transcended, even with the few bugs and occasional glitch/ lags from hell lol . Dropships, tanks , LAVs , eve support in factionals ( cant really complain with all the dimensions this game has ) - hope to see you on the field and put a few shells in you lol

Tallen Ellecon 1943	Posted - 2014.05.16 09:18:00 - [13] - Quote I like what I see, transparency is the key. A lot of questionable decisions by CCP have been done with internal data. We can only feedback what is given to us. All ideas, bad, good, crazy, whatever we have plenty of people who want nothing more than to look at it, assess it, discuss it, crunch numbers, discuss some more, and finally give constructive feedback. We throw out ideas, you throw them back, this is how you create a good relationship. o7 Rattati

You are still going to give them AUR and share ideias?! WTF! Transparency, i dont see any! Read between the lines, wake up. It amazes me how they continue to talk about AUR. It amazes me that after deceiving the comunity the way they did, you guys are still willing to share and debate ideas, buy boosters... you think its going to be just this one time! CCP has showed us their nature, learn from it and act accordingly. Stop acting like the women that gets beaten up by the husband thinking its just this one time.

How about "shut up, we're tired of hearing about it". If you've got a problem, try not loading the Dust forums. CCP says they are going to keep trying with Dust regardless of the hate they've received over the last 2 weeks. No one has said a word about buying more AUR, nor trusting anything they say at face value. Some of us have put so much time into this game that we are willing to stick around as long as we can see that CCP is still actively working on the game. So, once again, if you've got a problem, the door out is at the top of the page under your character drop-down menu and is marked with the words "Log out".

So, from the list of both potential and unlikely changes that you have listed here, it very much sounds like bug fixes are, if not out right out of the question, then at least very unlikely. :( Balancing things is all well and great, and sorely needed in many aspects of Dust, but I personally I find it difficult to care about some weapon having 5% less dps or a suit getting 2% more CPU when there are STILL (a year after the beta supposedly ended) so many actually broken things in the game. But, hey, great to hear from you and great to finally hear something almost concrete about CCP's plans for Dust, we've been waiting to hear anything at all, really. Good luck to you. Have you considered installing the improved keyboard? "Go Go Power Rangers!"
Bendtner92 Imperfects Negative-Feedback 2113	Posted - 2014.05.16 10:09:00 - [26] - Quote So while I'm sure Rattati is a great dude this didn't really bring anything new to table from what I can tell. DUST will get balance changes, but nothing really meaningful. Seing as you have nothing to show us and only talks about having stuff on a to do list seemingly no one has been working on DUST for the past how many months exactly? Basically DUST will pretty much be the same (bad) game a year from now (if the plug hasn't been pulled before that of course) aside from some few balance changes. This we already knew though. You show some good effort in trying to keep people playing and buying boosters though. Winner of the EU Squad Cup & the closed beta Tester's Tournament. Go Go Power Rangers! R.I.P MAG.

AFK Godfather Edimmu Warfighters Gallente Federation 119	Posted - 2014.05.16 10:21:00 - [28] - Quote after years... they now talking about "transparency"? i might get banned after this, but quite frankly I'm surprised I haven't been banned yet. Where was all this when DUST needed it? Legion gets announced and there's blue tags everywhere! CCP getting called out for blatantly lying to people and not a word about that. Where's the PS3 "laser focus"? Where's the 10 year plan when you can't even update the game? Can't further optimize this poorly optimized game can you? So many things I can go off on a tangent about, I don't know where to start. DUST had so much potential, but CCPs short sightedness, incompetence, and talent for listening to the wrong people turned DUST into the laughing stalk of the gaming world. CCP your word means nothing to people on consoles anymore. I personally, will NEVER put a cent into a game you make, and I'll make sure my friends do the same. DUST officially is dead as far as I'm concerned. Anyone who thinks otherwise after reading this thread is delusional. You're putting more effort into keeping the game alive now than you did 3-6 months ago. Where were ALL the blue tags when the community was 6k strong? 1-2 tags here or there back in the day. This effort you're putting into a game that's dead is confusing. Devs in CCP jumping ship, CPM members quitting or getting fired, YET some people here are blinded by whatever DUST has to offer. Which at this point is SP...LOOOOOL!!!!! So yea, continue to act like you give a ****, it's the only way you'll get people to spend more money on a dying game. Brilliant. I had so much respect for CCP in the closed beta stage of DUST, now i put them in the same category as EA. At least EA has decent games.
KEROSIINI-TERO The Rainbow Effect 1052	Posted - 2014.05.16 10:22:00 - [29] - Quote So, is Rattati a Dev now? Because he used to specifiy clearly that was not. Everybody likes him on forums as he shares gamer's point of view. Maybe that's why he's the public figure for this 'stage' of Dust. ...Crowd Control? :-S
