Look forward to reading it.

One thing I'm curious about; how did CCP make the Caldari production facility work on the PS3? When that socket was originally canned the devs seemed pretty adamant that they just could not get it working (memory issue?). Would be interesting to know how they solved the issue.

I would also like to know what kind of rendering optimisation are being done. How much work has gone into improving the engine?

I'll ask Rattati if he can go into a bit more detail on this in a post or in blog as a lot of people have been asking about it but the main problem was this.

As it was explained to us in the CPM, the game renders nearly EVERYTHING all the time. So if you're running around inside a socket or a room, everything beyond that room is being rendered even if you cant see it. That is obviously a huge resource hog.

The story that was shared to us is that one of the team was to be blunt, peed off about it and obsessed with fixing it.

This nameless hero, this demi-god, cracked the problem and we now have a more stable frame rate.

We've demanded they get a Dev Spotlight and let out of the cupboard they were shoved till it was fixed.

Even if 1.9 is The final iteration and Legion never gets made, Dust will always have its place in my cold dry gamer heart. The answer to your complaint is PvE. Always.

The implementation of a fire delay for the cloak makes tanked scouts less attractive - many of those players will likely switch back to Assaults now, or at least do away with the cloak for a more useful equipment slot, letting them at least act like Assualts instead of a hybrid.

STYLIE77 KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 189	Posted - 2014.10.17 21:06:00 - [123] - Quote Quote: WeGÇÿre very happy to see that our player base remains both stable and active. In fact, we are currently seeing the highest engagement numbers in over a year, averaging around 300.000 Monthly Active (unique) Users over the last few months. I would like to thank you for including this in your Blog Post CCP Rattati. I have been monitoring the activity levels via http://eve-offline.net/ . The daily peak time log-in do not match the All-Time numbers for both Eve and Dust on his site, however from checking the site almost daily I see between 2950 to 4250 logging in during North/South American peak time. That has remained very consistent over the life of Dust 514 and I use those numbers to explain Dust 514 to new players and bitter veterans alike. A new patch and sliding in this Caldari Map will net positive results in over all server population. It is my hope that this is a sign from Upper Management that they still see the profitability of this game on the Ps3, and recognize the strong player base demographic that South America represents. Catering to them in Portuguese and Spanish (ensuring that those forums get plenty of attention) will boost confidence in that Region. Any plans to add a server node for South America? Keep cranking out Events and watch the sales soar!!! Finally, I feel that your marketing of standard BPC gear Aurum packages lack incentives to buy with out the inclusion of BPO's and additional Aurum. Militia BPO's and militia LAV BPO's can drive Package sales as they are a great incentive that provides a player a sense of value. Full package militia BPO sets can be quite alluring if based on Racial fits and discounted correctly to save money versus buying the BPO's individually. You have so many BPO's to work with, why not package them as complete kits and drive Aurum sales focusing on quantity of sales rather than profit per sale? Reduce your price points, add value to the package... This enables new players to feel invested in the game with more tools to experience all aspects of gameplay with out having to wait endless months. Of course this can only happen if the price points are dropped and more BPO's are included. CCP Rattati thanks for the Player Count updates and your work ethic in terms of filling in the missing links such as Racial Parity, Militia BPO's, and a more active Player Event schedule. One last thought, NPC vendors willing to buy gear is an incredible addition. Lean on your Upper Management to allow Dust 514 users to have a Closed Player Market. Beta test it for later use on Legion, as players would much rather buy that Gastun's HMG or trade for a Thale's Sniper than sell it to an NPC.

Maken Tosch DUST University Ivy League 9781	Posted - 2014.10.18 02:24:00 - [131] - Quote @Rattati/Frame I'm sorry for bringing this up again as this may be a dead horse being flogged to death already, but is there a possibility that in the foreseeable future (clearly I won't expect this on 1.9) we might see the return of Skirmish 1.0? A lot of us have been asking for this game mode to return a long time ago as this is the one mode that encouraged a lot of teamwork even among randoms at a time when player corps and private squads didn't even exist. We were told a long time ago that Skirmish 1.0 was being pulled from rotation to fix any issues it had at the time. Unfortunately it never came back. PS: Also, what's the status on the fix for the incorrect colors on the "rare suits" like that of the 'Kindred' Scout and others like it?

Anyone want to say Dust is dying? That 300k number is dubious. Unique sign ins could mean each account is counted as a unique, when many people keep multiple PSNs to get SP. Peak users online is still in the toilet, which leads me to suspect that the unique user counts are skewed. As for the rest, the game is still bad. Vehicles might as well not be there, infantry balance has gotten better, but the game as a whole is just a stale rehash. I notice a lot of empty PC matches being talked about, which speaks volumes for the games health. i guess people will play any old lobby shooter as long as its free. Would love to see the geographic data for the user counts though. Would probably be very enlightening.

Since Skirmish 1.0 can't be possible then do your very best to make 3.0 Better :) I play Domination 90% of the time. It has the closest game play to that of Skirmish 1.0. Skirmish 1.0 was based loosely on Domination from MAG, wherein you must capture and hold outside objectives to unlock the main objectives in the rear. The Defense could then push back and recapture the secondary objectives on the front line, locking the rear objectives and thus resetting the Attackers progress. This style of gameplay with Attackers vs Defenders coming from Static Spawn points on a linear playing field (think American football or Soccer field) is exactly why I stuck with MAG until Dust 514 came out. Planetary Conquest is the End Game for many competitive players due to that same Attacker Vs Defender aspect. Pub matches of Skirmish and Ambush don't provide that same feel. Dust's Domination can on certain maps. Flanking and pushing from static spawns... that is what most FPS gamers miss out on most other IP's .
