simple question guys, how many people do you think will be playing at launch??? 10,000?? 100,000? 500,000?? i have my own opinion but i want to hear what you guys think. its hard for me to say exactly how many because of how unique this game is, i mean, the game is free which means that theoretically there could be over 70,000,000 who could own it, but at the same time thats never going to happen soooooo what do you guys think???

1500 on the U.S. Server.

thats it.

lol, do you mean right now?? or how many people you think will be playing at launch?? if its the latter then i think thats helarious, but i also gotta ask why you think that??

They want to say its f2p but we know better.30 day actives and passives and the dedicated player will keep moving leaving the average player in the Dust....you only have to read post like this one https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=46489&find=unread


and realize that if they dont segregate the newbs and give us PVE and get better at the wp(bring the rep back)team heals for nano hives,fix the sensor modules so they pay some kind of wp....then we the 1500 of us a year from now will think were are king **** of a "ghost town".Maybe when it get bundled with the PS4 then we will see a massive influx...but it depends if CCP segregates them so they dont get stomped.Maybe the dedicated will recruit and the rest of us originals will be like special forces standing out from the masses...but dont get your hopes up.

Yes Pc games never die, but can you name me one console game that has been played 6 years straight with no sequel? In addition, this game has to make it on PS3 to get on the PS4 to Sony as well. I don't know numbers and waiting for the next release but I think it will have a niche player base not a major success. Im hoping this doesn't happen though will changes that need to be made.

So a dodgie no is your answer, if kdr is in a game it's always going to be about kdr. Why do betas always make rational people lose their common sense. Even this beta is a small reflection sample size of a player base after release and losing numbers

Iron sights are coming, confirmed on twitter: https://twitter.com/CCP_CmdrWang/status/271879431184846848
Weapon customization is coming, confirmed here: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=315202#post315202
"[REQUEST] Weapon customization: Subsystem, Rigging, Slots, or Add-ons
- The design for this is ready, but it is a very large task to implement it in-game. Expect this at a later date."
People really need to read this thread.


The game will be FREE, so I don't think we need to worry about the numbers at launch.

First few weeks will witness about 800,000 downloads , 1 month in of that 800k only 180k will be playing, 2 months after launch numbers drop further to 150k active players. The first quarter will see drastic number drops down to 75k active players. Major updates will be introduced, internets shall be spammed with ads, numbers will climb back up to 150k within first week. Numbers will continue to climb and hover at around 250k active players gaining and losing a few here and there but balancing out. CCP will try and keep them in game as long as possible with many more updates for years to come. This is my thoughts

No, to some people it's more war points than k/d radio. I'm a logi and even though I can't get points for half what I do, I still do it. I may not lead the board in k/d (in fact, I'm currently a .52) I still enjoy the role I choose play. If I can help those go 16/1 who can by dropping links and hives, then I will.

It's about the greater good of the group and not the individual. It's pretty much how things work in New Eden.
