CCP Frame C C P C C P Alliance 4608	Posted - 2014.10.23 06:51:00 - [1] - Quote Hello everyone and welcome to another Developer Spotlight. This time, we are talking with CCP Blowout, our CLM Lead over at CCP Iceland. Some of our DUST 514 players know him already from our official forums, but this piece will definitely shed some more light on his ever so charming personality. Read on and comment! CCP Frame

This is of course possible but it is not actively being worked on right now. I'd like to see this myself!

The only good ones I remember were the 3-day active omega booster and the 30 "deadflood" Allotek PLCs. Usually gear is pretty basic and we get only 5 - 10 copies of it. Yes and you will get a lot more gear next week with the newsletter which should be in your inboxes Thursday or Friday, Google willing.


CCP Blowout C C P C C P Alliance 20	Posted - 2014.10.31 08:06:00 - [9] - Quote Haerr wrote: Dear CCP Blowout can you tell me something incredibly random about tea? Oolong tea, a Chinese and Taiwanese tea with a fruity aroma, is also often called DragonGÇÖs Tea: these tea leaves, when put in teapot, often start to look like a dragon. The worldGÇÖs most expensive tea is an oolong tea: itGÇÖs called Tieguanyin, and its leaves cost up to $3,000 per kilo. Speaking of T, Mr T was and remains to this day my favourite A-Team character. Incidentally, the word "tea" can be found in its entirity in the latter half of the name "A-Team".

Helmet Fighter. No jokes. This would keep us going through load times and all the rest. Helmet Fighter is real. If that is not possible then some kind of match three puzzle thing with dust items and helmets and the like.



CCP Blowout C C P C C P Alliance 20	Posted - 2014.10.31 08:15:00 - [11] - Quote Joseph Ridgeson wrote: Well, an AMA? Ehhh, worth a shot I guess: "Are the veterans rewards that are coming out in 1.9 the 'player commitment' that will transfer to Legion?" Honest answer: no idea. That's once again the (probably disappointing) true answer given where Legion is in its development. Not us keeping things we know from you guys, but simply a situation where "we don't know yet" is the truth.

Welcome back to the Dust 514 forums Anything, eh? Do you remember who I am? Was the dude with the rockin' urban camo bandana and the glorious beard on the roof of that bar at Fanfest. Yes indeed, sir, and I look forward to another round in 2015. You will be coming, right?

Okay? 8 Omega boosters to quad-stack plus upping the skill cap to infinite skill points for the whole of November - is this something you would like?


CCP Blowout C C P C C P Alliance 30	Posted - 2014.10.31 10:20:00 - [15] - Quote I hereby swear that I will purchase a beer for the first ten posters in this thread that do make it to Fanfest 2015.


CCP Blowout C C P C C P Alliance 30	Posted - 2014.10.31 10:21:00 - [16] - Quote No, posting three times does not get you three beers.


CCP Blowout C C P C C P Alliance 49	Posted - 2014.10.31 12:46:00 - [17] - Quote Street Fighter because I played so much of it growing up. We had Street Fighter 2 and its sequels, Mortal Kombat, World Heroes, Samurai Shodown and Fatal Fury. I never had Guilty Gear, King of Fighters or some of the others when I was a young'un. I did get started on Yie Ar Kung Fu, though, and I was playing it on Wednesday in fact. What a classic. EDIT: No I can't parry like him


CCP Blowout C C P C C P Alliance 55	Posted - 2014.10.31 15:31:00 - [18] - Quote That is a good idea. What client are the cool kids using for irc these days? I don't twitter as much as I should and do not have an official CCP account, but you can follow my very sporadic tweets at @soundinterest I don't think my job's actions are very tweetable.... "Hey guys new email coming next week #spam #freeitems #pleasedontunsubscribe" will about cover it

Allow me to answer your question with a question: What does this have to do with Street Fighter 2?



CCP Blowout C C P C C P Alliance 107	Posted - 2014.11.04 22:30:00 - [21] - Quote Nocturnal Soul wrote: How exactly does an merc like myself get newsletters and what's your favorite color? I don't have a favourite colour anymore. I gave up favourite colours when I became a man. As a child, my favourite colour was green, but those days are long behind me. To subscribe to the newsletter, go here: https://dust514.com/user/


CCP Blowout C C P C C P Alliance 107	Posted - 2014.11.04 22:33:00 - [22] - Quote Vell0cet wrote: Can we get another newsletter where you solicit questions from the community for CCP Rouge and post the answers? Also what happened to the idea of posting stats in the newsletter e.g. Most popular dropsuit since last newsletter: x, number of clones killed: y , etc. Also fac warfare stats would be cool. We had a really good thread on what we wanted many months back. It doesn't seem like much came of it unfortunately. Yes, this is true. I will start adding stats, only for reals this time. I think we can get a question solicitation thing going the next time there is an announcement or so on that warrants us fielding questions. For now, CCP Rouge is a little busy building up skills in Street Fighter 2 to save himself the shame of another two perfect round losses.

Here in Iceland I like the Einst+¦k Pale Ale. I am also particularly partial to Snake Dog by Flying Dog Brewery, and right now I reckon King's Blockhouse IPA by Devil's Peak Brewing Company is the best craft beer currently available in South Africa.

I'm not an IPA man (I like stouts/porters) but they make quality brews, though I'm not sure about their availability in Iceland. Dogfish Head sounds familiar actually.. just did a Google Image search and I recognise some of the bottles, but can't remember the taste so won't be able to offer an opinion at this time.


CCP Blowout C C P C C P Alliance 112	Posted - 2014.11.06 10:30:00 - [27] - Quote Aeon Amadi wrote: Also, the setting of District 9. Is it really as much of a ****-hole as that movie portrays? Haha, no, not at all. That is a sci fi dramatization, and thus not real. However, word has it that the 'interviews' you see in the film of people saying the prawns need to go were conducted with regular people on the street asking them about their feelings towards illegal immigrants and migrant workers from other parts of Africa.

I think I have seen every version and owned the director's on DVD, and will probably spoil myself to the final version on Blu Ray as a self-Christmas present. It is as good as movies get.
