The latest official Dust 514 video was from 2013. With the release of player trading, and with PC 2.0 coming in the near future, (hopefully) now is as good a time as ever to get the marketing train going again. With the resources at CCP's disposal, their promotional video(s) would be better than any publicity Dust has gotten in years. All they need is the desire to display the product they have created. I totally agree. Ever since their dev team was cut back they haven't done any new marketing or videos. they could even "hire" us mercs to give them good video clips and they could doctor them however they see fit. we could get paid in certain amounts of ISK if they use the clips. There are already a lot of videos out there and if there was a reward for them, probably more people would make higher quality videos. I just watched Sgt Kirk's plasma cannon video. It was awesome. |

It would at least be better than fake and unrealistic promises like in days of old. Those days were sad.... |

Maybe they could make a event out of this! That's kinda what I was thinking. :) We could introduce this idea of player run marketing with an event with LARGE rewards and after the event people could still submit videos, but for lesser rewards. |

Like, I'm entirely serious in that I have a full length video ready to go and what not with a really awesome music track that I have a license to use. I'll post it to youtube when I get off work if you guys are down.
Would be nothing for me to pull some scenes out and replace them with in-game footage, as well. Do it! The more the community pushes for things like this, the greater the likelihood of CCP doing something about it is. After all, it benefits their bottom line just as much as it makes our game more fun to play Exactly. They may not have the dev-power to do this kind of thing anymore, but there is a willing player base to do some of, or all of, that work for them! Utilize it! |

When CCP created the This is EVE trailer, they put out a call for Eve players to submit their own recordings of voice comms and gameplay. CCP then chose from a selection of thousands of different video clips and audio logs to find the ones that they felt suited their game. The end result was of course a huge success, with the community thrilled by getting a chance to be part of the advertising process, and gamers who were too afraid to touch Eve now excited to be a part of it. This is exactly what the Dust team should do. Get your community involved, let them do the heavy lifting, and then polish it in the way of your choosing. You'll send player happiness through the roof, and may just pick up a few new Dust players along the way. Darth, make another thread about player driven marketing, or something of that liking. It might go somewhere. I'll put my two ISK in that if you made it, that's for sure. |

No broken dreams here, except perhaps for those destined to lose their PC match So are you going to make that other thread or am I going to have to do that? |

I think this pretty much sums up what I want to say about the topic. We want Dust to prosper, more players will ensure that. We want more community involvement, a player driven event will do that. How can we do both? A This is Dust trailer following the template already proven successful by our Eve counterparts. I'll support just about any thread or topic concerning this matter, but I think this video is my contribution. Thank you for your kind words, but a whole bunch of people asking for this will do more than just me making a bunch of threads on my own. Get out there and ask for it! Ahhh logic. Makes sense. |

Because I am the most basic of casual players that cares about the big picture, but doesn't usually participate in it. Like I said, I will play FW once in a while. And I have my own corp so I can be by myself and not annoy anyone with how little I actually play. Which also means I don't get to play PC.

This is gold! Would be amazing if CCP took this and turned it into a polished trailer akin to what we used to get. Hey Cat, take a look at my thread about what we've been talking about here. https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=200255&find=unread

If I don't feel it's ready after the update, I will let you know how I feel about it and why.
If I feel it's ready after the update, I will agree with you.
Remember, we don't want to be creating anymore trailers of things we do not have right now. CCP did that and it didn't work (it backfired). And I agree that if we want an awesome "This is Dust" trailer, then we certainly need to emulate the "This is Eve" trailer helped captivate new players into joining. The more players that join, the better balanced Matchmaking will become. Agreed. Dust is not anywhere near perfect, certainly, but those that love it love it a lot. Completely up to you to decide whether it's worth putting your time and effort back into it, but I'm glad you're giving it another chance. If this Fanfest was any indication, I hope CCP continues to put the focus on the tangible community, rather than hopes and dreams. so did you get in touch with Soraya? If so, how did it go?

Seriously I just want to do a blog article. :/ It's not like I have some secret sauce CPM agenda here. :P (That'd require I actually do my job...) Well I was just wondering if you had seen any of the ideas in this thread and not just watched the video. :p That's all. Nothing malicious.

If they did I'd hope the look for other audio clips from various other PC corporations and notable groups like Dust Uni giving drill/training advice, etc. Not that I think this video is not great. I love it but in the "This is EVE" they show cased a number of different groups who did different things. Surree the guy with the gun named after him gets even MORE famous...
