All you Dust Mercs out there will be wanting to read pages 65-74.

And this is all the proof you need to know that CCP isnt your typical developer, 9 players having a chat at ccp headquaters, getting asked on what they think about new features, altering the way ccp does business, changing features, and giving some thing for ccp to think about when developing new features.

Imagine dust 514 getting similar treatment.

I have to say, that is disappointing to me. Its like they are afriad to put DUST and EVE together. I mean, come on!

They aren't even goin to give us player corps until 2013 now, so thats giant garbage.

CCP needs to rethink this. Even if there is seleration between EVE and DUST, at least add player corps that can engage together in factional warfare or for prestige against other corps. Forget null sec for a second. Give us player corps, and let us go at esch other in high sec. Games that give players the tools to attack ofher organized groups, eveen if it isn't for territory in null sec, are fun, and attract a lasting community.

The ad hoc group system needs to come sooner than late 2012, and it needs to be able to field an entire team at once, not just a squad. This smells too much of BF3-style clans and groups, which were a pile of crap.

I think I need to write a long winded thread on this...

They're not afraid, they're just taking their time trying to make sure they're doing it right, which makes sense with a project of this magnitude.

fanboy excuse

It's not an excuse, it's an opinion. You want to call me a fanboy for showing this company some respect and having the patience for letting them to do their job, fine, whatever makes you feel good. Now go make a KDR thread or something.

I'm ok with them waiting to put them together.

But not letting dust players from up into dust clans/corp? WTF????????

That's terrible. They could let us join our own non eve corps. Then when they let us join eve corporations just have your dust corp join an eve alliance.

Exactly what crazy space said. I am fine with waiting for the other stuff, but the whole reason I came to DUST was for the social aspect. Just let players form corps, do clan deploys into battle, and schedule their own corp matches. I guarentee the time will go by much more quickly if they were to do that and let us go at each other.

Its not so much the other things that annoys me as the fact that they don't seem to even be looking at a clan deploying an entire team instead of 4 friends grouping up together and playing. The minimum they could do is give us group deploy with up to 12 players.

Right, interesting stuff.

Because of how console development works they are not able to update as often, though Sony has given them a lot of flexibility, the release process is still slower than the PC.

Two step: What about corporations? Right now in the beta you can't join one, is that stuff just not in the beta yet?

CCP LeKjart: It is not in the beta, and the whole corporations owning districts thing will be part of the nullsec update.
The CSM asked about joining player corps in the late 2012 release. CCP said that wasn't currently on the schedule. They don't want to stick something in that would break EVE, and are worried that EVE corps with role management and voting would be too much for DUST players. At the latest, players would be able to join player alliances or corps in 2013. CCP is also looking at including persistent squads, so people can play matches with an ad-hoc group.

Two step: So you are saying you don't need planetary control to take sov?

CCP Jian: Yeah, that is right. Sov is sov, planetary control is planetary control, but if you have both then we are looking at bonuses on that.

while im sad that the ceta may take into 2013 at the same time i am given hope because it shows to me just how seriously ccp is taking this project.

and just how determined they are to truly give us a completley unique fpsmmo experience.

i tip my hat to you gentlemen and will try to be a respectful non trolling beta forumite.

good luck and godspeed gentlemen

fanboy excuse

"CCP is looking at if they could have simple DUST corps, with chat channels. They understand the importance of corps, and are looking at a concept called "simple corps", with greatly streamlined management. Those might be part of a betarelease, or they might just have NPC/FW corps for people to join. At the latest, players would be able to join player alliances or corps in 2013. CCP is also looking at including persistent squads, so people can play matches with an ad-hoc group."

Still think your previous FPS community were dedicated gamers? 165 pages.

A close corp friend did a lot of the writing on that one lol.
