Imagine sending an e-mail to support@ccp, discussing a problem and suggesting potential fix. That's off-forum heresy!
Imagine sending a DM via twitter toa dev . Off-forum heresy!
Imagine owning/running a fansite and occasionally getting an opportunity to talk with the devs. Off-forum heresy once more!
Imagine going to E3, or Gamescon, or Fanfest and actually talking to a developer - privately - about DUST. The highest form of heresy, treachery, and sedition again this official forum!

As has been said. The IRC room a public channel. Join whenever you want, just don't act like an idiot whilst in someone else's house.
As has been said. It's just chat. Just like might happen in any of the above instances. Devs aren't giving out Jovian dropsuits, they aren't giving away advice for figuring out the most OP play style, and they aren't giving anything major away. And anything minor that they give away ends up here anyway within a couple of days. They aren't giving out early passes to the next build, super-weapons, or special "dev-sauce". None of it is official, and even what people in IRC think they know could change before the next build. So...what?
There was a time disparity that was absolutely meaningless regarding knowledge of something that may or may not come to fruition, so IRC must be shut down?
The devs have short infrequent casual conversations with players somewhere other than the forums, so IRC must be shut down? |

Unicorn, if you get this far, please do not lock it over these minor members, but instead just lock them for disrupting a thread.
This is, indeed, all a big conspiracy. We're talking about it on irc while playing the final release build on the secret "Hedgehog" server...

This is not what I said. Was it? A support issue is just that, if you started sending suggesting grievances about balance to them, I'm fairly certain they'll point you to the forum.
And yet, if you'd been on IRC, you'd know that a lot of the talk on there centers around fixing bugs and how that is progressing. So...once again, not really an issue. |
