Yay

Look, as someone who's played with IWS and talked to him on several occasions, his issue is that he has a hard time putting what he's thinking into words.

He's not an ******* like so many people love to think. If you actually talk to him he comes across perfectly fine and is quite enjoyable to talk to.

Wow, you haven't been paying attention at ALL, have you?

We'll see?? Did you read my first post in this thread? Study your history, sweet mesiah!

I just want to know ist comin on ps4 or its only on( pc ) ?

People have asked about these 'Tiered Rewards' and what is going to transfer to the new game. The CPM have given their thoughts on this obviously and we hope that the discussion between you and the Dev's on this will happen soon.

Now as to my opinion on the matter and it is only my opinion, my thinking is as follows.

Name carried over is number one priority
Corps and your Corp history is the second.

After that, everything is just gravy.

SP, I'd like maybe a head start on players coming to the game new. But I'm not going to sulk if I have to start from scratch.

ISK? Please..... After the glut of it that came from PC1.0 and district farming... kill it all with fire as far as I'm concerned. Start the economy fresh.

AUR. If AUR is to continue as a currency option in Nu Dust and I've got some unspent, then obviously that needs to come over as well. But AURUM refunds like some have asked about... not bothered. I've received the benefit of that AUR via SP boosters and AUR gear so t's not like I didn't get anything for that.

BPO's and Skins. Now I've got an extensive collection of these and yes I did say that I've received the benefits of my Aurum purchases but I'd like something to show for that collection. But obviously BPO's as we know them might not carry over to the new game. So I'll need to see whats on offer about them.

Ok just a quick summery of answers to comments in this thread so far that I think I can give while dancing on the edge of the NDA......

There is a rough approximation of the specs that the team is aiming for. The CPM is aware of that spec level but obviously we can't tell you in case it changes. But for anyone who's eyeing up Alienware levels of performance PC's you're wasting your money. Shop around for the components and make it yourself for half the cost. Plenty of guides out there to show you how its done.

But more important than that, you're going to find that you've built a stupidly overpowered PC for the new game. We're talking mid level here with maybe a decent GPU (but certainly not a GTX980 ti) to do all the bells and whistles that UE4 can do. Hopefully the team will be talking more about that in the build up to Fanfest.

On the matter of Fanfest, it's my personal assumption that while Rattati is going to tell you some details and insights into the thinking behind the new game but the majority of any information will likely be revealed at Fanfest. It is CCP's biggest event of the year after all. But the CPM were adament that any announcing should be done prior to Fanfest, directly to the Dust community at the earliest opportunity. And CCP agreed with us. We didn't have to fight hard for that at all.

Some have been talking about being told sooner. That would've been awesome but thats not how game development works unfortunately. You're likely familiar with terms like Pre Alpha, Alpha, Closed Beta, Open Beta, etc. But there are also internal stages of development which are called many different things depending on the developer.

CCP only wanted to tell you what they knew was concrete and going to happen. So far, so good. But as some of you had noticed, the sales of Aurum were turned off at the same time as the announcement over three separate divisions of Sony's PSN.

That unfortunately takes some time and a level of co-ordination to arrange, it wasn't a matter of flipping a single switch. A consequence of the move to PC will be to eliminate a lot of these unnecessary delays.

Some have commented that the CPM could've said something sooner. Saying that marks you as someone blissfully unaware of the legal consequences of breaking an NDA. Its easy to say, 'well I would've' when it's not your career or legal liability at risk. But trust me, when you've read one and your signature is on it.....

Some might say, we should have resigned in protest. But really, what would that have accomplished? Absolutely nothing except removing player representation from CCP's thinking. And because of the NDA, any resigning CPM couldn't say why.

Players have been asking about asset transfer. Again this is something that needs further discussion and clarification with the player base. The CPM is already actively talking to CCP about this. Once we have something thats ready to bring to your attention we will do so. But by all means carry on giving feedback on this issue.

Cant think of anything more at the moment that I can talk about. But the CPM and CCP are paying close attention to the forums.

Cheers

You guys dont understand, PC games are the worst for being hacked and modded.

If PC gamers can simply hack a game as big as gta 5 with ease, the new PC FPS is in for a very very horrible gameplay experience.

Be prepared to see the game down on a daily basis due to hackers and modders.

Be prepared to see players adding mods glitches bugs hacks and everything else that comes along with pc games.

Not possible on the console. At least specifically what i am talking about.

I am just going to be laughing.

The PC will hold their first person shooter back even more then the ps3 and thats sad.

MARK MY WORDS.

This new fps they are bring is going to be so fludded with mods and hacks your not even going to want to play.

I will try but i already know, from playing other FPS on the PC. Very easily hacked and modded on PC's.

Worst possible platform for a FPS.

So what you dont think there are access points?

You really need to learn about server side injection.

Anything on the PC is super easily modded.

My job is IT for a living.

Do me a favor and go to a hacker forum and just read up on hacking pc's server based games.

Yall really have no clue do you.

MARK MY WORDS x2!

Worst possible FPS games are on PC.

Server side values are easily injected. Its might only last for that session or lobby. But its so frigging easy a little 10 year old could do it.
