I was watching the IGN livestream and I noticed that the CCP Dev. said "three to six months for a new build".
And I said no way!!
We have had this! build for four months and to expect folks to be ok with another six month wait before a new build drops??

Sorry but no.
I hope that it was just my imagination but hearing " three to six months for a new build" just really ticked me off and also had me say dude!! PS4 launch by then!! lots of AAA games out by then.

We have had this build for one month and 18 days.

Again wrong. There were no new build with the TQ move.

Current build is from 17-20th December (I'm not sure about the exact date).

Next time you sign in look at how long you been with you corp, because all corp members had to rejoin after the build. It was not a content/feature build, it was a bugs and glitches build, but it was considered a new build.
So, one month and eighteen days we have had this build

I think they may be counting codex and chromosome as the same build. Chromosome was mostly bug fixes, not much shiny stuff. That could be the 4 month count, back to when codex was released in October.

There was a wipe without new build on Jan 10th, new build that was mostly bug fixes was about 2 weeks before that. So, about 2 months on this build, about 4 since major content added.

3-6 mounths between builds would put next one in month or two, maybe released to coincide with fan fest somehow though.

Chromosome was deployed on 17-20th December. We had a reset with the TQ move hence why your character is less than two months old.

"CCP's release cadence was averaging once every three months for major build updates, with the capability of smaller content uploads that don't require Sony approval that add things like new maps and new weapons and new game modes to Singularity in between the major releases"

Regardless of the time frame or the age of the Chromosome build, the game desperately needs new content. I love dust as much as anybody but its really starting to get stale.

CCP Pokethulhu meant 3-6 months between builds. This current build launched in mid December so it's been just over 2 months.

I'm now watching the recording of that IGN live gameplay/discussion and that comment OP quoted from David Reid, the CCP Marketing guy, isn't a answer to question of when we can expect the next content update to be deployed..

That 3-6 months was his answer to live feed question of, "How often we can expect content updates and will they be tied into EVE content updates? "

Reid's answer was "Right now we are looking at is somewhere betwene quarterly and a semi-anual basis - every three months to six months - we expect to having big content updates coming out. "

Question was asked when we can expect next big content update to arrive and Reid's answer to that was along the lines of "In the next quarter", meaning Q2 of 2013, April - June time frame. That puts it into 1 month - 3 months time frame.

My bet would be one of two point releases and then big content update at Fanfest at the end of April.

Putting Fanfest before fans

Not sure you understand what FanFest is about. FanFest is always been about the fans.

What i'm saying is you making us wait for the next major update because of FanFest.

Many players in Dust 514 know about FanFest but don't really care because we're new to the scene.
To me FanFest is, "look what i've done daddy!"

You guys should also keep in mind that while the three to six months means between full expansions. We tend to put out point releases between expansions that contain additional fixes, changes, and other stuff.

You should care! There will be a sheetstorm of new info coming. If it is like last year, there will be some juicy keynotes to sink our teeth into. :D

I thought it was generally accepted that making a video game takes a lot of time and a lot of money. These things don't just manifest themselves perfectly balanced and ready for implementation, especially when they're being used for a notoriously vitriolic community.

CCP, a good delaying tactic would be one, just one, new map. If you're feeling crazy, make it two new maps. The broken skirmish map from replication would keep peeps happy-happy until then too. ;)

Presto! Whinge level reduced 40-60 per cent, enough to take us to fanfest.

Hahahaha! The only beta testing you'll get from me until a substantial build comes out is forum lurking. I imagine most people feel the same way. Its to bad I played this game to much and got burned out because of the copious amounts of NOTHING TO DO in the game. Guess I'm going to wait until your "walk" catches up with your talk.

a few things made me scratch my head and think tho like weapon customization... i thought they had this done but was a task to implement... in video he said no but it was a good idea... which DEV knows whats going on there because this guy basically announced that it has in fact not been worked on.

We got a new build today, 2 extra game modes right

Not sure you understand what FanFest is about. FanFest is always been about the fans.

That's not a build.

Edit: To clarify, there might be some new building on the maps, but that's not the same as a new build.

So, you all want day one DLC... cause that is what i am reading.

Adding more fuel to the pay to win fire isn't going to get them to use more human resources on a title that's about as featureless an open beta I've ever seen. Dust would greatly benefit from quarterly updates in it's current state, else it will die a death inside of 6 months.

DUST is closer to a real software beta than what other games advertise as a beta, which are really just early access releases to make sure the servers won't catch on fire.

Holy christ some of you people need valium.

CCP Pokethulhu meant 3-6 months between builds. This current build launched in mid December so it's been just over 2 months.

What other game gives you new content every 3-6 months plus hotfixes for free?



None.

Just want to point out, it's not a released game yet. We are testers who are paid by having access to the game early in exchange for pointing out issues they left laying about, providing feedback on how best to fix those issues, giving feedback on the balance and stability of the build, etc.

The updates and hotfixes are unnecessary in order for us to test new things for them. If they don't provide enough content (read: payment) to keep our interest, people here will begin to wander elsewhere. And in turn, CCP begins to lose public interest as well as free beta testers.

But you knew that. I only mentioned it because you didn't.

The game's released. Beta is a tag to keep reviewers silent. But we are commercially released, aka full launch.

I repeat what game gives you new content and hotfixes every three to six months for free. Not an iterpretation of free but the real world meaning of free as in no money exchanging hands??

But you knew that right?

Hey man, did you manage to sort out the problem with the LAV code?

You guys should also keep in mind that while the three to six months means between full expansions. We tend to put out point releases between expansions that contain additional fixes, changes, and other stuff.

Unfortunately you are talking to a bunch of console players who want everything here and now. It's the nature of the beast when dealing with these fickle people. They play a game for five months and then move on. They aren't used to sticking with a game and watching it evolve.

3-6 months in between new content is fine for a game that actually has... ALOT OF CONTENT.

The last build was for stability and polish.

The last build where we actually received new content was E3 (i think). E3... And it wasn't much.


Idea... CCP FoxFour since you are the talkative one of the bunch. Ask them to release SOME information about what kind of content we have coming in the new build. This kind of information might satisfy the savages.

If its only 2 maps and those 3 guns that were talked about a month ago... Time for a different FPS.

You're not a dev, reported for spreading rumors

For EVE John, for EVE.

For Dust you don't yet have any track record and it's not like these are free. The whole game is already free. It's not like you will make older players pony up in the P2W shop to get what a new player would.

CCP may have ambitions, but honestly and with all due respect you aren't really in a position to know - just like us.

I doubt your role would command knowledge of such corporate plans beyond public domain intent.

What other game gives you new content every 3-6 months plus hotfixes for free?



None.

Dota 2? (Also heroes of newerth before League of Legends ****** it all up)

Shut your mouth.

E3 we only had old Ashland Skirmish 1.0 . (Biomass and Coms were deactivated. ) 1 map only one and we had to fight on it for MONTHS. With free vehicles ! HMG's that blew up before you even pulled the trigger ! RE mania ! Creodrons Creodrons Creodrons and more Creodrons (other weapons ? what's that those other weak rifles or crappy Shotgun or Massdriver ? LOL! well I guess smg is cool.)

We come a LONG way from E3 with major changes since then .

That's a cop out. They are using beta to protect the game from negative review despite being commercially released.

Some peeps see engineering as politics. Some peeps see engineering as engineering.

*rolls eyes* Whatever. I play both consoles and PCs. Hell, I stuck with the Civilization franchise for *years* before moving on, and now I might go back to it, too.

Stereotyping is such a childish and immature thing to do. So, unless you're a child, shame on you, Dalton.
