Maken Tosch DUST University Ivy League 12	Posted - 2015.07.28 18:16:00 - [1] - Quote I want to start the discussion on an important topic here now that Warlords 1.2 has been deployed, 1.3 is now listed on the Trello and there is not much left on the Trello board to implement before CCP has to finally get ready to move Dust over to the next platform. The problem is which platform to go to. Before I begin I like to remind everyone that even though I am a PC player at times that doesn't mean that I am one of those arrogant PC Master Race folks. I also play games on the consoles as I prefer the best of both worlds. Anyways, the point of this discussion is to help CCP figure out where the community would like CCP to most Dust 514 towards. We understand that PC and consoles have their own benefits but at the same time have their own downsides. Let's looks at those pros and cons first. What would happen if Dust 514 moves to the PS4? Pros: 1. CCP would not have to worry about transferring ownership of certain assets like BPO suits, Skins, AUR, SP, etc. as all the player has to do is log in with the same PSN ID that they used back on the PS3. 2. CCP would still have all of the data on the characters and assets on their own in-house servers. The player would not need to transfer data manually from the PS3 to the PS4. 3. CCP would be taking advantage of old Dust players who left the PS3 for the PS4 as well as players who would have no problem buying a PS4 if Dust was ported over there. 4. Because PlayStation Plus does not require paying the subscription for doing multiplayer in a free-to-play game, Dust 514 players will still be able to afford Dust as normal. There are other F2P games on the PS4 that don't require paying the subscription either. 5. Still be able to maintain the cross-platform connection that Dust has with Eve Online. Cons: 1. The PS4 will not have access to a test server. You wouldn't want your PS4 to connect to the Singularity test server. Believe me. I have heard horror stories of what it did to the PS3s. It wasn't pretty. 2. CCP will still have to deal with Sony's approval process. This can be a problem if a major client update is needed ASAP in case of a problem. 3. Consoles don't have as much future proofing as PCs do. 4. Players will probably have to give up all of their ISK and maybe some of their assets as this would mean the game is starting over. Though some assets like BPOs, Skins, AUR, etc. might still be kept depending on how extensive Dust is changed during the porting process. 5. Many players who were hoping for a PC port will be disappointed. What would happen is Dust 514 moves to the PC? Pros: 1. Players will finally have access to the test server since a PC will be able to handle it better. 2. Dust 514 will be far more connected to the Tranquility live server and thus allow the server to be able to better monitor the game for any exploits like how it does now for Eve Online. 3. Dust 514 will be given an opportunity to be more connected to Eve Online if CCP finally decides to go ahead with their unification plans. 4. Dust 514 players will have access to better tools that may not be normally practical to implement on a console setting. 5. Future proofing is more guaranteed as you wouldn't have to upgrade your PC every 5 years. I still have my 9-year-old Dell XPS and it still runs fine. Cons: 1. CCP will have to figure out how to transfer ownership of the assets from the PSN account to a PC-based account. They will likely be able to work with Sony on this. 2. Players might not be able to keep everything during the transfer such as their ISK. I'm confident CCP might come up with ways to compensate the players who wish to transfer their assets. 3. The cross-platform connection that Dust 514 has with Eve Online will no longer be there. It will just all be on one platform. 4. Many console players who don't want to own or are not able to afford a PC will not be able to benefit from this and thus become disappointed. So at least here we can guarantee that a few things will happen: 1. Either group of players (console or PC) will be royally pissed off no matter which way Dust 514 goes unless CCP can somehow muster enough resources to make Dust 514 for BOTH PS4 and PC. 2. Everyone, no matter which group of players you are, will lose some assets during the transfer because... well... let's face it. Dust 514 got screwed over a lot with PC 1.0 in terms of ISK generation and distribution and this is the only chance we might have to address the problem we have with players who have excessive amounts of ISK because of how they exploited a broken system. Some of you will no doubt have objections to this. 3. Either way, Dust needs a fresh start. One more thing I need to make clear. Please do not bring up the old argument that we should start over completely from zero especially for new players. Can you imagine how annoying it would be to have your 40 million SP character reset to zero just because the game got a few new players? There will always be a disparity in levels between players in every game out there. Deal with it.

But if I had to choose, PC would be ok for me. But a part of me wants it for the PS4 for the sake of making it easier to transfer ownership of the assets. So I'm stuck in the middle again.

Death Shadow117 Wolf Pack Special Forces 515	Posted - 2015.07.28 18:49:00 - [9] - Quote You make great points but why jot port it to PC to fix it, and then port it to PS4 ,after the game is working properly, as the next Gen consoles can be upgraded more. Even if they just put it on PC you could just get an alienware alpha gaming computer/console and be able to play console and computer games on the same thing.

Not necessarily true about giving up assets. There are many games that allow you to keep all of your assets, money, levels, skills, etc. with a simple character transfer. This can easily be done with a simple code they can add in game and upon startup. A test server may actually be possible with a PS4 console because the technology in them is roughly 8 years ahead of the PS3 and they are in fact closer to the build of a PC than you may realize (especially with the ability to not overheat as badly as PS3 AND some PCs) And lastly on your points, I believe that people wanting the PC port are FAR fewer than the people who want next gen console port. That is a validated opinion just from what I have seen on various forum posts. *KEQ Diplomat* Gallente Loyalist ... Come at me bro. A grenade to the head will most certainly get you dead.

If CCP really cared about the players and what they've invested in Dust and the loyalty they have showed they would port to the PS4 tho imo.

Georgia Xavier Incorruptibles 999	Posted - 2015.07.28 20:35:00 - [17] - Quote At this point I don't care anymore, just PORT THIS GAME!! Go to Ps4 and be done with it or go to the PC and lower hardware requirements to that of a modern home pc and be done with it. Either way is leagues better than staying on the ps3. But seriously speaking however, seeing how good they are at developing EVE on the PC then PC is a safer choice development-wise Click for an instant good day! (or atleast cheer you up a bit)

With PCs, you have to buy the pc and continue to spend 100s of $ every year to keep the software and hardware up to date. Closed Beta Vet. Founder of Helix Terrestrial Operations LLC.

If the transfer does not contain every single asset including ISK, BPOs, SP, and Warbarge (or compensation of some sort should the pile of crap warbarge be tossed) I will never once log in to the new version. CCP has already shown the efforts they are willing to make to clean up behind themselves today and many other times so I fear that my Dust existence will end here on the PS3.

I think they would be able to a good bit more with the PC. I want to see Dust and Eve be more synced together. Where thing we do would matter in Eve and viceversa.

Daddrobit You Can Call Me Daddy 1	Posted - 2015.07.28 22:03:00 - [21] - Quote For those rallying for Legion and or a port to PC in general, here's my issue with that possibility. When you enter the PC market, you are immediately competing with literally every game ever made. Your game needs to be God tier levels of fun to maintain any level of success over a long period of time. I'm talking LOL, WOW, Minecraft, Star Craft levels of fun. That or be a hardcore niche filler with little competition like EVE. Legion however is just an FPS. That means it's competing with games like COD, Battlefield, Far Cry, Titanfall, Borderlands, ARMA, and Planetside. Super AAA titles that are always providing the highest level of real competitive and or fun gameplay. And the accessibility and usability of all these games means that if someone doesn't like a particular game, it's just as easy to delete it as it was to download it and move on to any other game. And on top of that, it's also much easier to look up ratings and reviews of games. On PS3, to know how Dust was rated, you can either just go off the star rating the game has and say, "meh, nearly 4 stars, might as well try it," or you are forced to get off your console and go look up big name reviews. However on PC, the reviews are right there, the thoughts on the game from everyone from Gamespot to Snip3rB0y99 on how well the game was made is sometimes available right from the same page as the download. Which means that when players bash on your game, these opinions are given much more weight on the overall success of the game as they are directly visible to everyone thinking of getting into it right from the start. Legion/Dust would -NOT- survive on PC even anywhere nearly as well as it fared on console. With the limited number of games available to consoles, there comes a certain safety. Being one of the 15 shooters available on PS4 makes you automatically more dominant than being one of the 100s if not 1,000s of shooters available on PC. O.G. Pink Fluffy Bunny

Being one of the 15 shooters available on PS4 makes you automatically more dominant than being one of the 100s if not 1,000s of shooters available on PC. About that highlighted part... I get the feeling Dust will end up being on the PC as such. As a hardcore niche game with few competition. Sure, Dust is a FPS game with FPS functions. But how many other FPS games are there that have Dust's unique characteristics such as direct player trading, legal scamming and extortion, poaching players from a corp, and now item crafting which is on the way with Warlords 1.3? If there is any, they're probably not that many. By the way, Legion is no longer going to be on PC because there will NOT be a CCP-made game called Legion. Why? According to the US Patent & Trademark Office, Eve Legion as a trademark is officially dead (aka ABANDONED). However, Eve Gunjack seems to be LIVE as a trademark. Don't believe me? Look up the two names. http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/gate.exe?f=searchss&state=4804:7yi3p6.1.1 My point here is that regardless of what name will be given to the PC or PS4 port, that port will be at its very core a direct descendant or reincarnation of Dust 514. Dust 514 as a name will likely stay on the PS3 but it will likely be given a different name somewhere else. We just don't know which and I don't think Eve Gunjack is even remotely related to Dust 514 given what we know about Project Nemesis. Also, Eve Online was once thought to be facing too much competition on the PC when it first came out in 2003. This was against the likes of EA's Earth & Beyond, Blizzard's World of Warcraft, Sid Meyer's Civilization, Nexus: The Jupiter Incident, etc. And now Eve Online is said to be facing against stiffer competition from the likes of Star Citizen but even then they are nowhere near as unique as Eve Online except maybe World of Warcraft. But Eve is not dying and the numbers posted on Eve-Offline.net only tell you half the story until you read about what CCP did with multibroadcasting and multiplexing (bye bye, ISBoxer). And if the accessibility of reviews on a PC platform are what can kill a game, then I am absolutely shocked that Eve Online still exists as a game given its nature.

However, even coming from a developer that was around from even before CCP and was widely considered a powerhouse for good games with its SOCOM franchise, and even with its successful initial launch, MAG was shut down 4 years in nearly to the day and Zipper went under. Why? Because Zipper failed to continue to deliver quality content over an extended period of time. And that is something that CCP quite honestly has a horrible track record for. CCPs luck with people putting up with them getting it right "EventuallyGäó" is going to bite them here. EVE has a set playerbase and a fairly proven track record that they do in fact figure out how to make a game eventually to fall back on when things go tit up. Dust has less than 1 tenth of that playerbase, and no where near anything that could be considered a successful history, (outside of Rattati who is still recent). What CCP needs to do is make the safe decision and stay with Sony where they can get outside funding and QA from that won't leech from EVE because on PC they'll have neither option, and if Dust goes down on PC like that, it goes down World of Darkness style.

Why? Because Zipper failed to continue to deliver quality content over an extended period of time. And that is something that CCP quite honestly has a horrible track record for. CCPs luck with people putting up with them getting it right "EventuallyGäó" is going to bite them here. EVE has a set playerbase and a fairly proven track record that they do in fact figure out how to make a game eventually to fall back on when things go tit up. Dust has less than 1 tenth of that playerbase, and no where near anything that could be considered a successful history, (outside of Rattati who is still recent). What CCP needs to do is make the safe decision and stay with Sony where they can get outside funding and QA from that won't leech from EVE because on PC they'll have neither option, and if Dust goes down on PC like that, it goes down World of Darkness style. You do raise valid concerns. But just so you know, DO NOT compare Dust going to PC to World of Darkness. WoD didn't even make it past alpha testing before it was permanently shelved.

That's a huge chunk of the budget that could otherwise go to employing artists, coders, etc. CCP doesn't have that kind of problem in Eve Online. They have an entire security team dedicated to just that alone and they are very effective at cracking down on bot users, RMT rings, and more. They even have a Fanfest keynote about it every year showing how they are doing. And let me tell you, it's amazing how much they achieved. One little-known fact here is that Tranquility is a very peculiar server. It monitors everything and tracks everything. But it doesn't stop there. It has its own built in system that detects unusual activity based on numerous factors including human behavior patterns and then flags those unusual activities for the security team to then look into. They even figured out how to connect two seemingly unrelated accounts together that were involved in RMT rings. Just ask the Eve Online players. They will tell you this. No joke. If Dust were to ever get ported over to the PC, it will only enhance the connection to the Tranquility server which means one thing. Big Brother will now be able to watch you even more. PS: Any attempt to manipulate data streaming between the client and server is also carefully monitored in Eve Online.

Lady MDK Kameira Lodge Amarr Empire 401	Posted - 2015.07.29 09:53:00 - [32] - Quote Personally as an owner of pc and consoles I wouldn't mind i they actually went cross platform and had pc and ps4 in the same battles. I have already read the posts stating that aim botters are bad, but so are console users with turbo controllers and devices that modify input so they can have aim assist and mouse and keyboard controls - there really isn't a lot to be proud of either way in my opinion. I know in the past I have posted about the total integration of EVE and DUST i.e. make them the same game rather than 2 seperate ones but i have to acknowledge the feeling I had when Legion was originally touted. Even as an owner of both platforms I was pssd and i sure as heck wasn't cheering. I had friends in game that are part of the console community that if ported wouldn't be part of the game anymore etc. This is not to say i don't think the avatar gameplay in EVE doesn't have a place in New eden. I guess my point as far as the future of DUST is concerned is that it should be released for PC and PS4 in my opinion. As for integration maybe not push for greater integration of the games to begin with but acceptance of the communities. We have started with shared chat and bonuses to EVE players structures and progress. EVE players have the ability to provide Orbital Bombardments and support us in return for killmails and LP (in FW). How many of the eve players are characters belonging to people who play DUST who have joined EVE out of necessity? A next next step in my opinion is around FW pilots of a militia should receive notifications when their mercs are in battle so they can respond in greater force and maybe get good fights. I also think PC should be expanded into other NPC regions partially to allow pilots to take part who don't live in Molden Heath. But also to give new corps a better chance at taking a district without being smashed by some large group with billions of isk built up from PC1.0 as the clone packs would degrade massively if sent cross region (maybe). Anyone getting annoyed by reading of the above post should consider the following. I don't care so neither should you :)

What makes anyone think that EvE players will automatically pick up a FPS game if Dust is ported to PC? Generally speaking, Eve Pilots play Eve so much because of the ability to multitask and because there is so much to do. It is in no way a FPS game. Some would argue they'd try it out maybe for loyalty to CCP, but I don't even think that would bring over a quarter of pilots. Not even the lore would do that. Also as I have said a few times on previous threads about this; How is someone expected to run two games on their PC at one time (ie: Eve and Dust) both require a certain level of attention, Dust requiring more attention due to it is a full on combat game. Aside from that, not everyone has a PC capable of running two games at once. This is why I think the whole "Eve Pilots would take advantage of this game" argument is a moot point. From where I stand it makes no sense. *KEQ Diplomat* Gallente Loyalist ... Come at me bro. A grenade to the head will most certainly get you dead.

Some of them are a little elitist, but not all them. But they are willing to try the game if it's on a platform they are ok with. Eve Online is not that resource intensive from what I have personally seen. There is a common joke in the Eve community that if your computer is powered by a potato then you can play Eve Online just fine with multiple clients. Because of the ease of which Eve Online allows multitasking, it is no surprise that a number of Eve players play other games while running Eve Online. If I recall correctly, I think Deezy was piloting his destroyer in FW space, fighting off low-sec pirates while providing OB support in Eve Online for Dust players, all while playing FW in Dust 514 at the same time. I think he recorded it on YouTube but I can't find the video. It was something he showed me while we were discussing how to improve FW for Dust 514. So as you can see, it does make sense. If players like Deezy are able to pull it off no problem, then a pilot who is bored looking at the space rocks he/she is mining will simply switch to Dust on the PC while periodically checking up on his Eve-side progress since Eve Online now has audio queues that can be set to sound off while minimized as a client. It's pretty easy. Eve Online Invite https://secure.eveonline.com/trial/?invc=ed64524f-15ca-4997-ab92-eaae0af74b7f&action=buddy

Maken Tosch DUST University Ivy League 12	Posted - 2015.07.29 16:40:00 - [46] - Quote In regards to my 4th point about the pros of porting Dust to the PC: 4. Dust 514 players will have access to better tools that may not be normally practical to implement on a console setting. This is something that will likely benefit vehicle users such as dropship pilots. Since the dropship is handling like a helicopter, a joystick becomes more practical to have and use compared to a controller or even a keyboard. Although joysticks can be connected to the console if they are designed for it and if the console can accept the hardware, but so far Dust doesn't seem to be coded to accept the joystick so players are stuck with the controller and keyboard for now. But still, a part of me also wants Dust on the PS4 for reasons I have already explained. Eve Online Invite https://secure.eveonline.com/trial/?invc=ed64524f-15ca-4997-ab92-eaae0af74b7f&action=buddy

Players will probably have to give up all of their ISK and maybe some of their assets as this would mean the game is starting over. Though some assets like BPOs, Skins, AUR, etc. might still be kept depending on how extensive Dust is changed during the porting process. 5. Many players who were hoping for a PC port will be disappointed. 1. Players will finally have access to the test server since a PC will be able to handle it better. 1. CCP will have to figure out how to transfer ownership of the assets from the PSN account to a PC-based account. They will likely be able to work with Sony on this. 2. Players might not be able to keep everything during the transfer such as their ISK. I'm confident CCP might come up with ways to compensate the players who wish to transfer their assets. 4. Many console players who don't want to own or are not able to afford a PC will not be able to benefit from this and thus become disappointed. Just speaking on those terms above.... Not necessarily true about giving up assets. There are many games that allow you to keep all of your assets, money, levels, skills, etc. with a simple character transfer. This can easily be done with a simple code they can add in game and upon startup. A test server may actually be possible with a PS4 console because the technology in them is roughly 8 years ahead of the PS3 and they are in fact closer to the build of a PC than you may realize (especially with the ability to not overheat as badly as PS3 AND some PCs) And lastly on your points, I believe that people wanting the PC port are FAR fewer than the people who want next gen console port. That is a validated opinion just from what I have seen on various forum posts. Edit: Also, I agree with you regarding the starting over. I"m sorry but NO I would NOT play dust on another system if I had to start over. I worked very hard for everything I have including my 90mil lifetime sp. For the record, I am ok with losing all of my ISK. But only the ISK. ISK can be easily recovered. SP, AUR and BPOs on the other hand... I want to keep those. I invested a lot of time and money getting these things and I don't want to let go of them as those are NOT easily recovered. But most importantly I want to be able to keep my name. I remember CCP saying they want to retain some of our progress somehow and hopefully even our name back when Project Legion was announced. But that was a long time ago and I am now worried. But all you need is to use the email that is attached to the account and hopefully that is enough to help CCP do the transfer of your assets. Just remember that CCP already owns the assets that you have because they are stored only on CCP's servers. Sony only has control of your PSN account, not your assets. As for SP in particular, that will depend on a how the skill tree is when Dust is ported over either to the PS4 or the PC. If the skill tree is changed as such that it requires less total SP than before, then we might see our lifetime SP be reduced accordingly. If it stays the same or if the lifetime requirement to max it out is increased, then we might be able to keep all of our current SP. But there is no guarantee that CCP will keep that kind of promise.

Either way I hope they learn and donGÇÿt make the same mistakes that they did with DUST. Before dust 514 was created hardly any console gamers, psn, Xbox live or Nintendo ever heard of eve online. CCP meant for dust to be an introduction of EVE online into the console universe, that along with the stern fact that there is no blockbuster shooter title for Playstation on the ranks of halo for Xbox means that if CCP went with a pc port all the way, they are basically kissing consoles goodbye forever, CCP's reputations is one of the worst in the gaming industry, give that along with the fact that they essentially wasted 4 years if console players time (closes beta), nobody will ever trust CCP again.

That's true, but all of that behavior that gets monitored has to be coded into the server. It still requires manpower to review and enforce. EVE has paying subscribers to offset that expense. Assuming the DUST port would remain free-to-play, this could represent a significant increase in resources to keep under control. It's not something that magically happens just by running DUST with a PC on tranquility. You're still talking about a significant chunk of resources dedicated to solving those problems. Apparently the PS4 is more easily hackable though, so the point may be less pertinent. Best PvE idea ever!

Apparently the PS4 is more easily hackable though, so the point may be less pertinent. From what I gather about the PS4, you are correct to assume that the PS4 is a little more hackable. Hell, there is even an article you can look up on Google telling you how to put together a PC to emulate a PS4 with almost similar hardware specs at almost the same cost as a PS4. And if what Jadek Menaheim is speculating is true, then we can expect to see similar levels of hacking on the PS4 as if Dust went to the PC. You are also correct about the free-to-play model being a factor, but don't forget that there are players who are willing to spend more money on this game if it was ported either way. I'm one of those players. As for coding the behavior tracking programs onto the server to take care of Dust, I don't see CCP having too much trouble dealing with that. It would still take time and resources like you said, but probably not as much as it did when CCP had to first start doing that for Eve Online back in the days when the security team was just getting started.

Maken Tosch DUST University Ivy League 12	Posted - 2015.07.30 00:04:00 - [87] - Quote Anyways, back to the REAL topic at hand. As you can all see from the pros and cons of porting to either platform, the community seems to be at a slight impasse. We all want a port, but there is no clear agreement on where we should go. Considering that our current CPM1 representative Dennie Fleetfoot (CEO of Dust University) is running again for CPM2 and told us that he wouldn't otherwise has run again for the CPM if he saw there was no future for Dust, I'm confident Dust will live on in a different platform although possibly with a different name. And since CEO Hilmar of CCP and maybe CCP Rouge and CCP Rattati together mentioned or hinted during Fanfest 2015 that Dust will be like a train that goes through various stops along the way, this only reinforces my belief that we will see Dust live on past the PS3. We just don't know where the next train stop will be. Eve Online Invite https://secure.eveonline.com/trial/?invc=ed64524f-15ca-4997-ab92-eaae0af74b7f&action=buddy

Dust 514 players will have access to better tools that may not be normally practical to implement on a console setting. This is something that will likely benefit vehicle users such as dropship pilots. Since the dropship is handling like a helicopter, a joystick becomes more practical to have and use compared to a controller or even a keyboard. Although joysticks can be connected to the console if they are designed for it and if the console can accept the hardware, but so far Dust doesn't seem to be coded to accept the joystick so players are stuck with the controller and keyboard for now. But still, a part of me also wants Dust on the PS4 for reasons I have already explained. What do you all think about this point in particular? Besides Ace Combat, does anyone else know of any other console-based game that relies on a console-specific peripheral like a joystick? Just added that last bit in.

We just don't know where the next train stop will be. Actually the train reference makes perfect sense. 1)Trains can only move on rails,and if Dust is this said train currently... That would mean the rails are the console it's using to go forward. And the stops are the transition between console generations. (Dust will stay on consoles,even through console changes.) -or- 2) They thought Dust would fail,and they'd try to relaunch at a later date. (We dun goof'd.)

I-Shayz-I I----------I 6	Posted - 2015.07.31 01:17:00 - [94] - Quote How about we wait until Dust 514 is in a completed state before talking about porting? Seriously. If we port it in this state it would be the same as when uprising first released. Do we really want that to happen again? The smartest move is re-release Dust just like Final Fantasy 14, just like Rocket League, just like Elder Scrolls Online, Just like Planetside 2. Do you think any of those games would be sucessful if they hadn't fixed EVERYTHING first? Porting anytime soon is literally suicide. 7162 wp with a Repair Tool! -- Vote for Cross!

It's nice to bring that up because that is exactly what I said about this game last year and once more about 3 months ago. If you had asked me back then you would have my response of "I agree with you". But today, now that Warlords 1.3 is on its way and now that 2016 (the supposed final year of production for the PS3) is nearing, now is a good time to talk about it. But I want to remind you that I do not expect CCP to do this immediately but rather read into this and use our debate as a basis of what to do in case CCP ever does decide to want to port to the next platform.
