Iron Wolf Saber BetaMax. 2867	Posted - 2013.01.25 13:40:00 - [1] - Quote In a typical console beta, the disk is already on its way to the store and they are just letting you play a week early. This is not the case with Dust 514 as the 'expected launch' deployment isn't until summer 2013 and from perspective of eve players, would not be near half done. Also there will never be a Dust 514-2, this game will build up and expand. Instead of copy pasting last year's edition like call of duty 14 will, Dust 514 paint over and add onto as it gets bigger and better. Every six months you will be blessed with free mandatory Expansions. Years from now dust 514 will be the same title but a changed monster with your progress still saved, no need to unlock AK-47 for the 20x time. So what major feature are we lacking for launch build? Increased squad sized, better graphics, phsyics, and sound, bug fixes, improved tutorials, refined UI, larger battles, improved map generation a few guns and suits and maybe a paint bucket just to start. For the largest feature missing, Faction Warfare and a reward system for it which may take 1-3 builds to get it right. Of course every gamer's favorite Optimization (game loads faster, and client side lag reduced severely.) What about After the launch? Its nowhere near close to stopping there. Co-OP PVE Drone infestions are just a start, one day you may have to fight off pirates, Sansha, and even other empire forces. New Planet types Such as gas, oceanic, ice, storm, plasma, magma, barren worlds Custom Avatars First the face then the body for hanging out in your quaters and show off that swag Corporation Refinement Taxes, War, Internal Contracts, Roles, Medals, Job positions, War Room Alliances Creating a bond with other corps to rally to a much larger cause, get good enough and even design a custom logo for yourselves. Better Salvage System Hopefully include items your side did destroy during the fight. Market To sell those salvaged items, or ones you produce Battlefield Shaping War not going your way? Deploy CRUs, Bunkers, Turrets and Depots, Move your MCC into firing position and hammer away at the enemy on the ground instead. New Game types Anything is possible, capture the core, or invasion, even escort, maybe even getting hired to protect eve online avatars while they go ** off some ancient star station. Arena Mode Want to run tournaments? races even and have people bet on the outcome? here you go, may include more classic game types like deathmatch, king of the hill, and CTF and whatever rules you like like militia gear only. Exploration Go find some hidden chance of resources to build more powerful weapons and the sorts while braving the unknown. Industry Litterally Build your army, manfuacture tanks, guns and ammo from the raw resources your conquest has showered you with. Put those materials to good use. Science Refine the art of war and the tools they're fought with, gain access to sophicated weaponry and build them. Conquest Claim the land in your name, not for an npc but yours, and hold onto it for dear life because you may not be the only one who wants a peice of that action. Empire building Develop the land you claim, take entire planets, build space elevators to help eve pilots coordinate with your efforts. Universe Shaping Making planets dangerous to approach, effecting eve online colony efforts, and redawing border lines are just a start. Leave a pernament mark of your history in the universe. May people tell stories of your mercenary outfit for years to come. Let the Isk flow With Eve online and Dust 514, get hired by eve online pilots to take planets, or even better hire your own pilots to bombard your enemies into the ground. Sell starships to pilots, buy tanks from them, rob thier entire hanger bay and get away being a proud owner of an an entire galactic military's assests More vehicles From the walking bulwark mtac, sturdy apcs, fast fighters and the MCC itself, we may even get special vehicles for other planets such as naval battleships on oceanic planets, or submarines and naval carriers. More guns! Weapons from normal to exotic such as the Light machine gun, trench gun, anti-material rifile, drone launcher, Autocannon Turrets. Weapon Customization Put together the perfect weapon, choose your scope, ammo, parts and paint job even. More modules! Chaff to throw locked missiles off, Sensor Jammers to blind enemey sensors, Energy Vampires to drain capacitor and stamina from targets, EMP mines to disable high tech equipment, Haze Grenades to provide visual cover, Rigs to modify slots weight allowing lighter suits to carry heavier weapons, command links to improve squad performance, Target painters to make it easier to damage a target and lock onto, the list goes on. Racial symmetry** Every race will represents their ideas of war from amarrian tanks, to minmatar scouts suits, or a gallente sniper rifle or a caldari pistol. Each race will by then feel unique, specialized and very charactered. Learn the strengths and weaknesses of those empires, and have even more fun customizing between all of them. And best part is, its all going to be free to access. So enjoy the preview, the game is far from done just you all will get a head start and Dust 514 has grand plans for the next 10 years, and this is the current preview we been shown so far, who knows what they will do after getting this done in the next year or two. Build your own base? Build your own maps for arena? Free exploration zones? Who honestly knows? Eve Online started with very little idea where it would be today but slowly and surely it has arrived to that point.

Another 6 months before release? Is this confirmed? Yes, several promininent players explained it to Dust 514 devs that launching without corps was beyond unacceptable and would have killed the game, the devs thought about it and fully agreed. Which is why the release date for corps and launch date swapped places. Sorry about that.
Iron Wolf Saber BetaMax. 2867	Posted - 2013.01.25 16:47:00 - [3] - Quote crazy space 2100046106 wrote: You forgot how this game is going to be part rts like savage. Rts mode will be out by release , its a core feature RTS mode is slated for 2014 conquest mode and requires a new suit to be able to sit in an mcc, sorry to break your bubble but the support for that or need isnt there yet, no reason to be bringing mccs into faction warfare, npcs provide and control those. In conquest however bringing an mcc may be nessecary to keep the hostiles MCC occupied shooting you instead of the ground forces.
Iron Wolf Saber BetaMax. 2867	Posted - 2013.01.25 16:54:00 - [4] - Quote updated Op a bit. I dont get some people saying FPS wise its incomplete. We have the right amount of base classes and we have the right amount of weapon classes and vehicle classes. Soldier Classes Light Recon Medium Attack Support/Medic/Engineer Heavy Attack Squad Leader (missing but planned, noted no other game really has this) Pilot (missing but planned, also noted no other game really has this either) Battlefield Commander (missing but planned much later, absolutely no game has this) Weapon Classes Commando weapons Sniper Weapons Marksman Weapons Stormtrooper Weapons Shocktrooper Weapons Demolition Weapons Medic Tools Engineer's Tools Scout Weapons and Tools Assault Weapons Sabatour Weapons AV Weapons Supression Weapons Support Weapons CQC Weapons Special Ops Weapons (missing) Vehicles are the only real deparment missing quite a few things Light transport and attack Meidum transport (missing) Heavy Attack Flying Transport Air to Ground (missing) Air to Air (missing) Command Vehicle (present but uncontrollable) Game modes Domination Reverse Deathmatch. Maps 4 ish, normal for a beta but like 1/3-1/4th of most games default maps.
Iron Wolf Saber BetaMax. 2867	Posted - 2013.01.25 18:12:00 - [5] - Quote According to Dust boards we have about 650,000 mercenaires registered. http://dustboard.com/global So far not bad for a beta, good thing we are breaking the game now. Launch build they're going to advertise blitz this game.

Iron Wolf Saber BetaMax. 2867	Posted - 2013.01.30 18:09:00 - [7] - Quote Three Double-A Batteries wrote: Is that OP a laundry list of the first brain storming session? To be REALLY honest CCP never release anything that isn't semi-broken and doesnt require years to maybe fix. Like how are those promised POS changes coming? The point is you have to sometimes measure things on what is delivered, not what is promised. This is just stuff they'd like to see from the last year, I have had very little thinking about any of these features. My ideas if I ever make them are a bit more... precise. Although I won't argue on delivery vs promises, I see why the delivery is getting fubared left and right because of the complication in codes and misbehaving servers. However Things are still progressing and the game will eventually get somewhere soon. Its going to take a while at the grind stone to fix it all.
Iron Wolf Saber BetaMax. 2867	Posted - 2013.01.31 01:00:00 - [8] - Quote Necrodermis is somewhat correct on his statement, its wishes and goals. Some dreams will get broken when they arrive to try to attempt them because the knowledge, software, network, or hardware doesn't exist yet. As for the order of the roadmap I keep republishing its the logical order that is likely to happen in. however things can get always out of order. PVE should be by 2014 and by 2015 we should be able to start tasting null sec. As for market and industry we have no idea, same thing for barges and the sort. While we can somewhat taste those objects now we have no idea how long before they become something tangible. Also no plan survives the community. One feature may make it in... and **** everyone off causing cancellations or further development or an entire rewrite of the system. Or years down the road we realize things we installed on year one is no longer on part with year 10 items and we put new stuff on hold to upgrade old stuff. All things are subject to change but the features I listed are features that developers have expressed big game plans for. Who knows this may actually be a 5 year list we are seeing here.

Iron Wolf Saber BetaMax. 2867	Posted - 2013.01.31 03:00:00 - [11] - Quote I would also like to apologize for any incidents of friendly fire. I somehow phase out blues from my sight and shoot reds on the other side of you.
Iron Wolf Saber BetaMax. 2867	Posted - 2013.01.31 03:08:00 - [12] - Quote BTW... massive information orbital strike is inbound...

Since this is beta I take it all skills and gear earned during beta will be wiped once this game goes live? 2. Also anything I buy w/ money from the market will also be wiped? Also I'd like to say I'm very very impressed with the game so far. I've been playing EvE-Online since 2004 so I just wanted to see what this version of the sandbox will be like. thanks! 1 no we had our final wipe a few weeks ago. 2. also no, and no refunds either when we go launch build. so pretend everything you do is for a final game just with missing features.you ca
