Progress update, 00:00: I would say the night grows darker, but I am not sure the sun rose today. Either way, it is defiantly getting later. CCP Nullabor sits next to me and I am not sure how much human is left in that machine. He just does not stop coding awesome stuff. The new document continues to grow in size, don't know if anyone ever thought a wiki article could have so many tables in it. The wind kind of makes me scared to even go outside, so maybe this late night work thing is a good thing. I really want more hot chocolate right now. I never even knew we had this stuff, but then CCP Fozzie told me about it, and I now probably go through about 6 or 12 cups of it a day. Not good... or really good depending how you look at it. I should also probably get rid of these empty Appelsin bottles on my desk. That drink is more addictive than the hot chocolate. This document though, that is what you care about. It currently sits at 4,500 characters and has a lot more to go. Hmmm I should go get more hot chocolate...

Sorry, what were you asking?

Edit: Also, I just put my hoodie on and took my shoes off. So comfortable right now. :)

Reav Hannari Red Rock Outriders Red Rock Consortium 340	Posted - 2013.03.13 15:47:00 - [1] - Quote My guess is that tomorrow's blog is the big reveal of the majority of the racial drop suits. The ones that are ready anyway. If they are feeling very generous then they might also show off some new racial weapon variants but if it were me I'd save that for another day just to string out the blogs until release. If they are feeling tricksy they'll only reveal one racial line up at a time and make us wait a week between.

I think... some might debate that though You guys keep guessing, I will be back in a bit. Need to go work on some documentation. :) Well, if I was developing DUST, it'd be about world class AAA FPS mechanics/controller mechanics/stability/lag. But since it's CCP, i'm gonna say its a little of the above, plus the birth of what's going to evolve into an amazinly immersive starmap-as-EVE/DUST-integrative-tool. A smart company would design a world class AAA combat simulator, combine it with a massive virtual economy, throw in an API for the community to create a fantastic tool set and wrap it all up in lore, live events and player driven drama and create the biggest gaming sandbox ever conceived.

I'm going to set my expectations pretty low so that I get totally blown away. So the last devblog was on the sights of Dust, the one before that was on sounds. I'm going to guess that this next one will be about all of the smells of it. The plasma rounds of the Gallente Assault Rifle leave a faint hint of ozone in the air as do the shields of the Caldari equipment. Sort of like standing next to an office size laser printer/copier. The smoke of exploding mass driver rounds has a distinct sulfuric aroma that reminds one of ancient firearms. Walking through a nanite cloud smells of lavender and tickles the nose. Finally, charred Amarr flesh smells like victory.

I think we both know that CCP promises the world and falls short. I think it's their viking heritage, full of bravado and beer. However, they've managed to pull off some amazing things because they aim high even if they fall short. They don't have to beat the other shooters in FPS mechanics, just not fall short. When they continue to add depth and player driven conquest then I think they'll be successful and be around to refine the FPS portion. I'm having a good time with what we have. I just want more of it. What I do know is that I'm spending a lot more time in DUST than I have been in EVE lately.

I am sorry to report. But [CCP]Foxfour was kidnapped... by production managers... until the demands of the meeting are meet they're keeping him hostage. Rescue mission? I'll bring uplinks. Anybody have a dropship?

I imagine Gallente vehicles smelling like fish since they might be the ones most likely to be environmentally conscious. I can see CCP being inspired to do that considering the fishing fleet parked outside their building.

The wiki article is right around 17,000 characters with 10 images and I am still getting more images. Not telling you how long the dev blog or FAQ are. :) All on the same topic. Going to be a long couple of days responding to all that feedback. Sticking to drop suits as main topic then. There are DUST wiki entries? I haven't seen anything other than one on the NPC corps.

So the wiki article will be posted on evelopedia. http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Main_Page

Nope and nope What? Not the racial suit dev blog. I'm going to go cry in the corner for a while. Maybe start drinking too. Hopefully tomorrow's epicness will overshadow the lack of MINMATAR ALL THE THINGS.

Honestly, I basically just scoured all the databases and code for numbers and made a giant post out of them. No pictures? This is looking less like the epic dev blog we were waiting for. Now I'm thinking this is about mechanics, like weapon ranges or how scanning and profiles work. When is the racial dropsuit, weapons and vehicle blogs coming?

Praetorian mentioned a racial suit blog which feels well past due now.
