THE MILLIONCLONE CHALLENGE Xer Cloud Consortium 65	Posted - 2014.11.07 11:15:00 - [1] - Quote May as well. It seems that if we show that we clearly want and will support something enough, it will happen right?. The changes in 1.9 have eliminated the grind and so player retention should improve. I play all the next gen stuff and dust still offers something unique. We want it on the Ps4 eventually or SOONtm or SOOOOOOOOOOOOONtm Please sign and state how much you love the game. With a ps4 port, dust could develop as slow as it wants as the ps4 is good for a long while. REMEMBER TO PROPERLY TERMINATE THEM CLONES!.

TooMany Names AlreadyTaken Going for the gold 262	Posted - 2014.11.07 19:02:00 - [9] - Quote DUST 514 is the best game I've ever played, I discovered it by accident over a year ago searching for free games on the Playstation Store, it got me from the first battle. <3 Playing it on the PS4... dream, dream, become true! That moment when you mow down a proto Caldari assault suit with a militia laser rifle. Words can't describe it.
Cross Atu OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 3781	Posted - 2014.11.13 19:47:00 - [10] - Quote I support Dust 514 making its way to the PS4 and PC. Choosing one over the other is, to me, somewhat lackluster as I know members of the community already who are continuing their gaming 'post PS3' on one but not the other platform. Less than both locks out members of the community. Having said that I am interested in the level of community support for seeing Dust 514 make its way to next gen console and PC? This is something that I ran on as CPM (continued access to the game via both platforms) as there was a lot of support for it at the time, is this still something the player base feels strongly about?

Stop the hate today and more players for us all. We don't need to ask about the requirements for xBox, because one of them is Microsoft taking control of the game servers which CCP has flatly stated they are unwilling to consider (not that I blame them, I'm not a fan of MS taking control of my computers either I'm looking at you and your painful UI Windows 8 ). What would need to happen for Dust 514 to arrive on PS4? Community support for Dust and for such a migration. To be specific when I say support I mean all of the following. Player activity in game Player activity in the feedback cycle via constructive posts (i.e. non hyperbolic rage fests in caps) Talking about the game in a positive way on/off line (of course we're not talking about being dishonest here of obfuscating the truth as both of those are a waste of time, but simply presenting what you like about the game for what it is, no more, no less) Profitability. A company, gaming or otherwise, will rarely if ever abandon a profitable product. For the same reasons that a company will rarely if ever invest more money into a product/project which is running a sustained loss. Beyond community support Dust 514 on PS4 would likely call for a migration from UE3 to UE4 and that investment would take a hefty amount of Dev time, underscoring the value of and need for community support. As to Dust 514 on PC it is already developed there (that's how games are developed) and the game already supports various interface devices so no hitch there, the major short fall might be fully using the hardware a PC can offer which brings us back to a migration from UE3 to UE4. In short, much of the cost of migration for Dust from PS3 to PS4 or PC would be overlapping and much of the required means (i.e. community support) would be overlapping as well. To me the natural choice is, if the community support is there, eventually bring Dust 514 to both platforms thus increasing the possible player base and not leaving folks behind based on their preference for hardware upgrade (PS4 or PC).

If it comes to a choice of only one, it is - to be blunt - most likely to be the PC simply because it is a lower recourse investment to deploy on the same hardware type as you develop. This is, in part, why I am so opposed to the notion of our community focusing on a debate of "which one to choose". I believe we can most effectively make either happen by supporting the current game and by advocating that both happen. Others may disagree with me, but I would rather fight with the whole community for the whole community than divide the community against itself to fight about "which one" rather than devoting our energy to making a migration happen in the first place. 0.02 ISK Cross See a cool idea thread?

I agree, I just feel that without the console involvement the game would be of substantially less value in the FPS market. Edit: As I said, I agree that both is by far the better outcome, I just can't abide the idea that if migration is on the cards that CCP should just up and abandon a large portion of the player base that has stuck with the game and CCP, even through some of the terrible decisions and phases.

Some may think I am off base for this, but I want our game to continue and thrive even past the PS3 and I am not ready to consign the future of Dust to simply being the predecessor to legion The reasons why CCP would port Dust to both platforms boils down to "there's enough support to warrant it", if the numbers show there is an active community and Dust 514 is a profitable game I see no reason why it should not continue past the PS3.

Hey Cross You were around for the fallout from FF this year right? To wonder if there is support makes me think you know most of that disappeared after this. To know if there could be that support? Again, look at the madness after FF. You know there could be. I know recently since 1.9 Lightning xVx has asked CCP about a PS4 version. There are gonna be many many other ex-dusters that would be back. Whether those vitriol-spouting, all-caps raging ones are part of the problem you (CCP) don't want I don't know, but that sort of mentality will almost always exist in any game, with a very few exceptions. If 1.10 is on the cards in the next few months (don't call it 2.0 unless it deserves major version change status), and there is talk of a 1.11 after that (again in terms of months) then you might just find out the answer to your question. People already came back for a bit of 1.9. BUT THAT'S JUST ME! You must learn honor, or you deserve to learn nothing at all. ~ Rivvy Dinari - Swordmaster of Ginaz

People already came back for a bit of 1.9. BUT THAT'S JUST ME! Yeah I've been around since closed beta so I was here for the debacle at Fanfest. And you are right I personally already feel that the answer to my question "is there enough support" is a resounding yes. However persuading someone, let alone a company which also has to look at the opportunity cost, that it is the right move takes more than my say so it takes community posts, people buying AUR, people queing into matches, et al I'm not saying I expect gamers not to rage, that's a thing nine times out of ten, but what I am saying is that the rage doesn't contribute in any meaningfully positive way to the goal of proving support for Dust beyond the PS3, savvy? I find my thoughts to be very much in line with yours regarding the possibilities and effects of things like a 1.10 patch, but the more posts from folks who think/feel the same the more I am able to show/underscore that support. In essence what I am saying here is while actions speak louder than words there is no reason why we shouldn't use both Thanks for the reply Cheers, Cross See a cool idea thread?

Just because XBox in the past would not allow games to connect to outside server. Nothing is stopping some kind of Middleware feature for XBox development in the future. Tranquility should never run on a Microsoft server and being with the shift in how games are operating I'm sure there will be a time Microsoft will relax some of them requirements to allow for a true cross platform experience.

Better to focus on having a transition happen than on playing internal tug-of-war about "which one" when we have yet to lock down if there will be one at all, making it a zero sum game when it doesn't have to be seems very likely to result in a hobbled effort that is less likely to see fruition.

You never know, that may translate to less stomping in pubs and a better NPE, which may in turn...yada yada yada you know what I mean cough DUST PS4 cough Anyway there's a couple suggestions that may or may not help with this littered around. I suggested adding some sort of players waiting in queue count to a screen somewhere if ppl are leaving when the timer says 0:00 in a self-perpetuating no-show. Or combining the FW queue with the pubs queue, and favouring FW. Select one or more of Ambush / Skirmish / Domination / Min FW / Amarr FW / Cal FW / Gal FW I've seen it happen in software I work on - the simplest idea, that takes five minutes to implement and test, can make a massive difference to ppl in ways you didn't realise....anyway you never know.

I just wanted to add is I think CCP biggest problem with Dust on PS4 is UE4 not supporting the PS3.. So they are kinda suck in a really ****** place with the engine cause they can't upgrade both at the same time. I share this sentimemt with regards to PC gamer hacking and the win/loss risk/reward system in place in DUST. Truth is, if hackers hack a BF4 battle on PC, it sucks for the players, but outside of performance stats doesn't really matter. With the economic structure we have here, you grind to earn to play, losses under those circumstances would be catastrophic, especially for new players who'll be subjected to not just character XP and equipment gaps BUT to outside hacking as well. It would be just as devastating for vets also, PC would be a bottomless spiral of ddos attacks, lag spam, actual wallhacking, MAO and whatever the HOTM the script kids learned on you tube that week. The SONY network, while not flawless by any measure does at least provide a helpful level of stability and security against this sort of thing, which in turn creates a more reliable and secure gaming experience.

As to Dust 514 on PC it is already developed there (that's how games are developed) and the game already supports various interface devices so no hitch there, the major short fall might be fully using the hardware a PC can offer which brings us back to a migration from UE3 to UE4. In short, much of the cost of migration for Dust from PS3 to PS4 or PC would be overlapping and much of the required means (i.e. community support) would be overlapping as well. To me the natural choice is, if the community support is there, eventually bring Dust 514 to both platforms thus increasing the possible player base and not leaving folks behind based on their preference for hardware upgrade (PS4 or PC). Well,if Dust goes to Ps4. It'll stay the first ever platform connected game in the same galaxy. If it goes to PC it'll be just another FPS that happens to have a vehicle version for space. If Dust transfers rather soon to Ps4,they'll have relatively early access to players that would otherwise spend 60$ plus DLC on COD -or- 60$ plus DLC (costs) to CCP. There are currently 4 F2P titles for Ps4 worth even looking at,but as i said in another post,Dust offers so much more then they do. Even while still on Ps3. This (if CCP acts quickly) can be a golden chance to be 1 of 5 F2P games. 1 of 1 sandbox style. Those are excellent market odds. Plus Ps4 has built in streaming,which links straight to the game being streamed in the PSN store,allowing the players themselves to be a FREE advertisement asset. So,the more 'followers' someone has,the better chance CCP has of getting more AUR. And the more dynamic Dust is,the more followers players get (for monitization) allows them to spend more AUR. So,CCP benefits 2 ways:free advertisement to an untapped source of players,possible AUR purchases (the more that see the stream the better the odds) Streamers benefit:more followers = more money for AUR But while Dust would be 'rare' and 'unique' on the Ps4,on PCs not so much. F2P games are everywhere on the internet,and only the die hardiest of die hards would stick with it,let alone invest in AUR when so many options are available. For example:I've had the internet for over 10 years. But,i only learned about CCP and the EVE universe through Ps3 via Dust 514. If Dust never came to a console,i would have never heard of it,and wouldn't be posting in this forum. And there are many others like myself,that because of Ps3 we now know CCP exists.

Number one problem with DUST right now, that complicates it's acceptance as a competitive game is the "high latency". CCP needs to protect their game! Just to be utterly clear a port is required for the game to survive past PS3. Regardless of what platform (or hopefully platforms) it is ported to a port will be needed regardless. CCPs background and specialty is in PC games. The server that hosts Dust 514 is a PC game server (TQ which is also the setting for EVE: Online) The likelihood that CCP would turn their backs on their more experienced medium (the PC) and launch an entirely new server for the sake of a ported title is exceedingly small (they did not launch a new server for Dust 514 during its closed beta, it's open beta, or it's launch, the assumption that they would take on the costs to do so now, as well as the additional coding burden to rewrite the game such that it no longer needs TQ to play, is based on all my understanding and information a deeply flawed** assumption with minimal - if any - chance of taking place). Dust 514 is still growing and developing but it has also taken quite a few hits along the way and while I am not ready to write off the possibility of a port it is also not a given at our present place in events and - to reiterate again - if we as a community are more fixated on fighting over "which platform" to port to then any port loses out because our energy is being siphoned away from supporting the game and supporting a future for it. I cannot stop players on the internet for fixating on a self-defeating argument but make no mistake a focus on forcing the conversation regarding Dusts future to become one about 'a single platform' is a very self defeating argument indeed. And to reiterate one more thing, if it *does* come down to a forced choice AFAIK that choice will be PC due to the factors I have outlined above, there simply isn't much "if" about that as far as I can tell. I am doing my best to work and show CCP that there is value in a port and a future for Dust 514 beyond the PS3 but quite frankly if the community remains dead set on fighting over which platform then my efforts in this regard re directly undercut. To steal a historical quote "A house divided against itself cannot stand," obviously the context for the original is much more weighty than an internet game, but the concept applies just the same. 0.02 ISK Cross See a cool idea thread?

Agreed. The issue is when CCP chooses one: it should be the direct successor of the first platform if only one is allowed. I don't mind if Dust is on PC; I jut want to be able to play on the PS4. If it comes to a choice of only one, it is - to be blunt - most likely to be the PC simply because it is a lower recourse investment to deploy on the same hardware type as you develop. This is, in part, why I am so opposed to the notion of our community focusing on a debate of "which one to choose". I believe we can most effectively make either happen by supporting the current game and by advocating that both happen. Others may disagree with me, but I would rather fight with the whole community for the whole community than divide the community against itself to fight about "which one" rather than devoting our energy to making a migration happen in the first place. 0.02 ISK Cross Cross Atu, your are my favorite CPM member.

Managing hacking in a competitive environment is my biggest concern. Some of the GPU memory hacks for overlaying and displaying information . I just think the resources required to prevent this on PC can be put to much better use when focused just on console development. I just wanted to add is I think CCP biggest problem with Dust on PS4 is UE4 not supporting the PS3.. So they are kinda suck in a really **** place with the engine cause they can't upgrade both at the same time. I share this sentimemt with regards to PC gamer hacking and the win/loss risk/reward system in place in DUST. Truth is, if hackers hack a BF4 battle on PC, it sucks for the players, but outside of performance stats doesn't really matter. With the economic structure we have here, you grind to earn to play, losses under those circumstances would be catastrophic, especially for new players who'll be subjected to not just character XP and equipment gaps BUT to outside hacking as well. It would be just as devastating for vets also, PC would be a bottomless spiral of ddos attacks, lag spam, actual wallhacking, MAO and whatever the HOTM the script kids learned on you tube that week. The SONY network, while not flawless by any measure does at least provide a helpful level of stability and security against this sort of thing, which in turn creates a more reliable and secure gaming experience. I'll restate it once more and then let the point rest for now. If we continue to treat the prospect as an "either or" to things are likely to result A) Divided community support reduces the likelihood of a port gaining the momentum it needs to actually happen. B) It is my impression that if there is an 'either or' choice forced on this issue PC is substantially more likely to happen. As previously stated there are valid concerns to be raised with both platforms but not only does dividing the community not resolve those concerns it hinders other positive motion. 0.02 ISK Cross While it's nice you pander to your voters,being wishy-washy won't serve but to frustrate them,and yourself. One very important fact you seem to be forgetting is: updates. One platform = waiting on sony -or- update as frequently as you want Two platforms = waiting on sony and update as frequently as you want (?) Lolno. If it goes to two platforms it messes up any updates. PC would be ahead,while consoles would be behind. Or,PC updates would be stalled to ensure it stays the same as consoles'. Or consoles/PCs exclusively would be updates as frequently as possible with little to no stalling. A choice needs to be made,'everyone can have everything they want' is speech lying politicians use to get re-elected. Not true, look at Blizzard with Diablo - it can work. Plus, the PS4 is apparently going to be easier to deploy updates to. That said, I do wonder how they will have us all in the same lobby when two clients may be running different versions. Re: politicians - I could say you're behaving like a tabloid newspaper and twisting words - the problem stated is about a divided community due to them thinking the choices are mutually exclusive, not 'everyone can have everything'. It keeps them on their toes. I prefer news,good -or- bad,but i loathe** neutral gray answers. Official Blueberry of the Forums. Title given by my #1 fan Sgt Kirk.

I hate kbm i still play pc games with controllers unless its civilization Oh and i still pwn on fps with the controller The good thing is that PC inherently have good controller support, without any changes in the game code. While PS3 has crappy mouse input. Everyone will be happier playing on PC. EVE: Legion, also known as: Schroedinger's Game, EVE: Limbo, or just "Not-a-game-yet".

Yet, Explain how you know that asking for more console support is s self defeating argument. Get some blue tags and facts and we can help get behind you. Otherwise, We know that Dust 514 as it stands can be updated and with the right kind of support lots of the rough edges can be worked out and positioned as not a deprecating game but a game that will continue to live on and first of it's kind. Really who cares if we know the road map for Dust as half the gamers won't even bother reading it anyway and good luck other companies trying to capitalize on building thier own New Eden universe. As it stands I love this game but there is more company love given to that Roberts game then given to Dust by it's own companies Devs and public comments. We want to know that CCP loves and is committed to Dust just as much as we are.. not just as gamers but as people invested in the New Edan experience.

We want to know that CCP loves and is committed to Dust just as much as we are.. not just as gamers but as people invested in the New Edan experience. Judging by your post I may have given a somewhat incorrect impression, allow me to elaborate/contextualize. My comments are about the long term future of Dust 514 past the PS3. For the more immediate future continued patching and support right here on the PS3 is, to me, the obvious choice. This focus on PS3 advancement of the game for the near term (say next several months or more) is essentially requisite to any future plans as well so must not be overlooked. All of my statements about porting are aimed at more distant days. Since before closed beta it has been obvious that the original ten year vision CCP announced for Dust 514 would not be taking place solely on the PS3 and it is this later part, the eventual migration that we've always known would need to happen someday, to which I am referring. As to self defeating arguments the point is simple, any argument which requires a high level of community support thrive becomes self defeating if it also pits the community against itself. Thus all "we should only X" arguments with regards to platform are self defeating because the net result is less focused community support and with less overall support/community confidence in the game and investment of time/money into the game the development team has less to work with and the possibility of any port becomes more remote. Think of it like pulling a cart up a hill, there are three hills we could climb, "PS4 only", "PC only", or "both". These are steep hills and the cart is heavy so we'll really need our combined efforts to have a solid shot at getting up any of the hills. If we choose "both" then all of us can put or backs into climbing the hill and we have a real shot of getting there. On the other hand if we are busy fighting over which of the other two hills to go for then we have some people pulling 'left' some people pulling 'right' and not only to both groups have a smaller total number pulling us up the hill but their efforts start to cancel each other out as well. That is, to put it mildly, less than idea. ^This example is likely too symbolic for the tastes of some so I must apologize that I am not in a position at this time to supply something more. Some of my motives are derived from NDA aspects but this does not make me "magical" and most of my stance is one I have held for a long time even prior to running for CPM, and everyone has flaws in their judgments and perceptions. So, take my statements for what they are worth and consider their weight based on your own individual perception of my judgment/honest assessments thus far. As always I highly advocate each individual coming to their own personal conclusion. Cheers, Cross See a cool idea thread? Mail me the title and I'll take a look =)
