Another relevant thread: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=199453 Over the next few months, the storyline of New Eden will be evolving in such a way that it effectively dovetails the two games together in one persistent, growing universe. There will be events in both DUST and EVE which will reflect this. The two games are very much entwined, and are intrinsically linked via backstory already, but we still have a very strong focus on bringing them even closer together. The vision is a single living, breathing, sci-fi universe, that can be viewed through two windows. These two windows are DUST and EVE, which provide two very different views of New Eden through which players can interact with one persistent universe. In terms of events, the DUST team are working very hard to put together a solid experience for those players who are interacting with New Eden through DUST, and are collaborating very closely with the EVE Live Events team (which I lead) to make sure that things sync up and people have an awesome experience as we bring the two games closer together. In EVE, we've nicknamed these kinds of ingame happenings "Live Events", and they've been running in various forms since EVE's early days with various breaks along the way. We'd like to bring them to DUST too, and we'd love for every one of you to get involved and help in shaping New Eden's storyline.

While this would be something for the DUST dev team to answer, it's something that I would love to see. Right now, the EVE Live Events team are working to host bigger and better events, along with building the infrastructure to do so. In the same respect, with DUST being in open beta, its very much a case of exploring options and possibilities for what can be done, and what you mercs down there on the ground would love to get involved with. It's all a learning process, and personally I'm hoping that it's going to be both epic and enjoyable for everyone involved. The possibilities are endless, and personally I'm looking forward to seeing just how epic of a storyline Immortal Mercs & Pilots are going to create together.

Tony Gonzales - Templar One, at Amazon for example: http://www.amazon.com/EVE-Templar-One-Tony-Gonzales/dp/B0096DS34M It is a direct sequel to Tony Gonzales' "Empyrian Age" which describes the events prior to Templar One, which sets the current backstory for EVE Online, and explains why the main factions (Caldari, Amarr, Gallente & Minmatar) are currently at war with each other. If you're going to read the books, I'd definitely recommend reading them in order : 1. The Empyrean Age 2. The Burning Life 3. Templar One They give a good insight into the last 5 years of New Eden's backstory and will flesh things out up to current day events

For anyone that is interested in the EVE side of Live Events and wants to know more, feel free to poke me (here or as Grideris in EVE). I seem to keep showing up at these things with a motley collection of anyone that will join me. Ohai. And yes, anyone who feels the need to learn more about Live Events can also EVEMail me too

Will you be my friend? I'm everyone's friend Please don't punch me. Also where'd you get the suit? Bought it from a cute Gurista girl flying a jump-freighter last night. I wanted red, but they had none left.

Was there a matching set of DUST matches with mercs on Vellaine III fighting a holding action while waiting for the extraction ships to make groundfall? (I figure it's unlikely, and it would have to be "called" based on a normal match since there aren't any of those art assets or proper game mode in the program yet, but it doesn't hurt to ask.) So, right now the instant battles are shifting around to reflect the unrest in New Eden. Every week or so, they'll shift to match up with live events. For this first Event in the uprising storyline, there was no representation in DUST other than mentions of mercenaries in the news. However, there are plans in place to ensure that there will be physical DUST events that mercs will be able to involve themselves in. These will come in the form of rolling battles, set up in contract form by involved parties. Initially we're going to test the waters with this type of thing, until we're comfortable enough to move on to larger things, pending player participation and available manpower and ingame assets. Hope this answers your question

Are these the same as our dropships? The same ones that can't climb higher than 300 feet? Nope, these are different.

If that gets implemented I'd be All in that. We used to have a Volunteer team for EVE Live Events, but it was disbanded several years back. The decision has been made that we'll be keeping all ingame Event organization and acting internal using CCP Employees.

The new game modes are a very interesting suggestion. It'd be cool to see an extraction mode, or skirmish/ambush. However, in terms of backstory, a single life event wouldn't make much sense for immortal clone soldiers

CCP, you took a while to get there, and one heck of a fright while we waited, but boy you got there, and you made up for it one hundred-fold!!! We're hoping that this kind of feeling toward ongoing events will continue, and that as many people as possible will get on board
