howard sanchez Vader's-Fist The Empire of New Eden 1	Posted - 2015.09.08 13:32:00 - [1] - Quote Enough with the silent treatment. Weeks have gone by with essentially no communication about the current state and future direction of this game/service. The playerbase pleads with you daily and we suffer unexplained down times and poor system performance with increasing frequency. What is the purpose of this obviously intentional information blackout? What could you possibly be avoiding speaking about with the small but intensely loyal customer base that waits for some word of our fate?! This all smacks of management putting a gag order on regarding what we can expect in the near future. And why would you need to do that? Let's consider the two most impactful possibilities: 1) you are porting DUST to another system and you don't want the info leaked before management is 'ready' - meaning your marketeers think this is a good idea for future growth through marketing- stupid 2) you are not porting DUST and want to use the remaining months of confusion and anticipation in your customers to extract more dollars before shuttering this game - skin bundles my ass Just talk to us

But I must respectfully disagree that silence is in CCP's best interest. Unless our worst fears are true and Ratatti & Co are remaining mute in order to dupe all of us into spending more $ on a dead game, then silence is NOT the best policy So, which is it ccp?
howard sanchez Vader's-Fist The Empire of New Eden 1	Posted - 2015.09.08 13:53:00 - [3] - Quote Ripley - I completely agree with your view that, if ccp were to be open and honest, dust's playerbase would accept, adapt and embrace what ever direction they were pointing. The only thing we hate more than bad game development is no game development which is what they are 'announcing' through silence.

You would blame that debacle of product 'promotion' and information marketing on the Players?! Who else believes that nonsense? Because that's a bunch of crap right there fella Our bitching has brought us where we are and you think we deserve this? Way to be a compliant *****! Enough already, ccp Just talk to us
howard sanchez Vader's-Fist The Empire of New Eden 1	Posted - 2015.09.09 02:32:00 - [5] - Quote A few quick points - Thank you for your interest and feedback in this thread. It's good to understand where the players stand on this issue. Yes, I see what Ratatti is doing over there moving his hands about making words about hotfixes. You sheep that eat that stuff are all increasing his Jedi Mind Trick skill by multiples of 5. Fools. He's doing exactly what he's told to do - not say a damn word about a port. DUST, as it is right now, is great. More balanced and fun than ever. I know how much Ratatti and Shanghai love this game because it is his team that have brought us to this place. But you can't hotfix away the lag/framerate/performance issues can you? Because DUST runs great when its not running on a PS3. The platform IS THE PROBLEM with DUST. So, thank you, Ratatti for that momentary distraction. I will play this game as long as it runs - wherever it runs....but it won't run as long as I want to play it on this platform. Yes, CCP is committed to VR. That's great - they should be. But VR, right now, isn't profitable. It's not tested and true yet. It has promise, potential. But hasn't made a dollar yet. DUST, on the other hand, by CCP's admission - is profitable. Businesses do not throw away profit. So, I believe, (with all of my wisdom and insight) that DUST will be ported (if it can remain profitable through such a transition). I want to know how long I will be able to play. I want to hear confirmation of my musings or the hard reality that this is where we live and die. Stop, Master Ratatti, I can see what you do there.

If the announcement would be good news it would mean a boost in player counts, purchases, etc. Sooooo... Thor, WTF?! You build me up over there and extinguish my hopes and dreams over here! See Ratatti? See Hilmar!? This is what it comes to. If I have hope in DUST I will engender content, play, PAY If I have no hope in DUST....I will persist but not flourish. I will play but not pay. And I will not build content and encourage participation. Your choice.
