I honestly haven't got any frame of reference to where Alpha might fall. Since I've only played with Maya as a hobbyist, I know how time consuming one or two aspects of the process might be.

Past that, it's not like I get a daily report from the devs or whatever. So I have no earthly idea how fast development is going overall as far as time to alpha.

Any answer I gave would be either a troll or a straight asspull, just because I only see bits and snippets.

Could be next year sometime around summer, could be tomorrow. Could be later. I'll have a better idea when the Devs say it's on.

Speculation from me, Dennie, Darth, etc. ain't going to happen folks, partly because we don't know, partly because if we even make a Scientific, Wild-Ass Guess too many people will shriek that "we promised" or the devs did, if our predictions fall short, or something gets delayed, etc.

In short, me speculating on hard timelines would only create drama, like it did for CPMs in the past even though they weren't violating any NDA stuff.

It's hard to be "ahead of the curve" when you trashed your old build for the new build (Legion) 2 years ago without telling anyone They're basically just playing catch up with themselves at this point

It's hard to say how far ahead they are, but id say it's a fairly safe assumption to say at they're good ways into it.

For me, it wasn't just the glitchy battles, it was owning land of your own, the hard fights taking and defending (usually defending(and losing)), training people between battles, organizing members, FC'ing battles

PC is not what kept everyone around.

I love how these posts assume that rattati & co. Are idiots who haven't looked up just what % of the game population was involved in what aspects of the game.

Here's a hint: the number of people involved in PC was rediculously low compared to overall population, and many veteran corps abandoned PC because it wasn't fun.

Pc was worse than pubs. Pubs were somewhat ok. Bullets killed people properly most of the times.
Then pc matches were absolutly lagtastic,ps3 was choking so hard on its own stuttering frames, everyone did the same tactics. Listening to a guy screaming sh!t over the coms. The dreaded freeze during match if the dust had gotten to deep into your console(like for real. Both forms,game and particles) really absurd timers. Huge corps and ringers, and for what? A bit of digital territory? Some bragging rights? If thats what kept vets in dust i really question if you have to have some masochistic streaks in ya to deal with that sh!tpile.


If you liked it, good on ya.

Did 1 real PC, nothing special about it other than the lack of blueberries.

To me, customization is what made Dust stand out. Having an array of fittings for every situation, as well as being able to think up more variations to experiment with is something no other game I've played offers.

What is EVE?

Eve is a genre where that's to be expected. Space sims like Elite: Dangerous and No Man's Sky do it the same way.
Dust does it in a far more satisfying way.

Dust does it in a more satisfying way? LolWut?

Fitting things in Dust was painfully boring with the fact only few fits and dropsuits were actually useful in competitive play

Meanwhile in EVE rig slots w/ tons of different modules with different effects makes fights always unpredictable and competitive

Nothing at all similar to ED and NMS other than them both having spaceships

ED and NMS have the same module system as Eve.
