How long do you plan on keeping Planetary Conquest as how you've described it at the Fanfest presentation?

How long do you plan on keeping Planetary Conquest as how you've described it at the Fanfest presentation? Okay, that's not so clear. Will there be lots of minor tweaks and changes to the system after you let us see how much we can 'break' it? I was just wondering, 'cause I had the intention of creating a page on PC on wiki.dust514.info but if this upcoming version of PC is a small step or a 'test' release which could be modified depending on how we react to it, should I wait a few weeks after Uprising to start compiling information that won't be changed in the long-term?

I'm definitely not exploiting a mod thread to gain publicity for our wiki either.

Can you give us a some detail on what this "personal/corporation wallet history" contains?

Good to see the devs posting again.

I would only ask if they intend to expand it to other regions soon enough.

will the Eve to Dust Corp mails be working??

(first) you missed a bunch of speculations on uprising. Many questions being asked by the dust players.

I would only ask if they intend to expand it to other regions soon enough.

Just a quick question, do you envision sometime in the future planetary conquest becoming a more openworld affair? With a need to keep a close eye on borders for fear of intruders?

Also, congratulations on keeping your shoes on for so long.

Foxfour, What will be coming to Dust on May 6th and what will we get on May 14th? It is all very confusing and so far no official word from any dev.

I had a great time watching your presentation and hopefully i will be able to meet you next year at fanfest.

Thank you

Can you tell us when we'll get to see the patch notes?

can you please comment on the sharpshooter skill has to been removed from the game? do weapons now have a set range? and if the skill has been removed can i ask why i havn't seen any of the community asking for the skill to be removed from the game.

Guess you didn't bother reading what he posted

Please keep in mind that I am on team True Grit and we worked on the following for Uprising:

GÇó Planetary Conquest
GÇó Corp/Alliance mail/chat
GÇó Personal/corporation wallet history
GÇó Other small stuff


Questions outside that I can't really answer. Now is your chance to catch me up on stuff and for me to chill with you guys

second this. alone is molden heath confirmed? seemed like it from fanfest but we need to be sure.

in PC will there be additional benefits if 1 corp/alliance holds all the planets/districts in a system.

Any idea when the patch notes will be released? Or the Dev blog about what's happening in detail with our asset's?

Molden Heath is confirmed.

second this. alone is molden heath confirmed? seemed like it from fanfest but we need to be sure.

I don't know no sorry. :(

The expansion of planetary conquest in low-sec will depend greatly on how many people are participating and fighting over the planets. We know we want to see lots of fighting, but we want people to have a chance at owning a district. So when we expand it will just depend on how many people are playing it.

When we expand will be based on how many people play it. This is something we will have to keep a close eye on.

Any chance for us mercs to receive automatic mail with audit reports of our assets before and after running purge database script prior to Uprising? Was asking for this here:

Thanx

Soxy!!! Your back! Hi. I liked nullabors story during the dust keynote, and from the sounds of it I missed something hood during the eve keynote, I'll have to go watch it now.

On 5.14

The 3 new weps
- plasma cannon
- flaylock pistol
- scrambler rifle

New game mode: Domination

New terrain and battlegrounds

Everything else is 5/6...

I'm not sure why, but it wasn't broken out as its own video. I had to click around in the six-hour stream to find it.

The retrospective was neat.

Hey guys, here's the official word from CCP Jian about what the differences between 5.14 and 5.6 are. Here it is:



As for proper patch notes, I am looking into that matter now. We tend to release patch notes on patch day, however.

As for the dev blog on assets, I am trying to get it put out today or tomorrow. However, a ton of people are traveling today after FanFest, so I can't promise it. It's been totally hectic here the past week or so and some of the things we absolutely should have done by now have been missed. I apologize for that.

Mind telling me the starting point? To save me from wasting time on that horrible thing known as twitchtv.

Possibly, I am not aware of there being many discussions about that right now, but I know we have talked about it.

Thank you, it took a lot of effort.

If I could remember, I'd tell you (I'd already have posted it). Sorry.

I THINK it was around the 2:30 mark, but not positive.

But it would be very easy to change it.

Please, Who coined the term penetration game play?

How long before Shanghai operations begin to wind down?

So does this mean that the Starmap and Clone Packs for PC are live as of 12:00 GMT (or end of extended downtime) on 20130506?

I don't even recognize that term, where was it used?

Soxy!!! Your back! Hi. I liked nullabors story during the dust keynote, and from the sounds of it I missed something hood during the eve keynote, I'll have to go watch it now.

This is going to be a chicken and the egg situation, i know alot of my alliance mates have tried dust and are waiting for it to affect 0,0

It would be, it however is the best fit. I have a document around somewhere in which I describe every region in the game and give a reason why it should or should not be considered, if it is considered why it should or should not be the chosen one. Molden Heath won out. That is a LONG document. :(

I'm pretty sure that this was during the CCP Presents keynote.

Nullabor, you, and a good few others seemed to enjoy having a laugh at my expense... :/

That bit during the EVE keynote, yea, I was in no way shape or form supposed to random him or pod him. Podding apparently caused an error message to appear. >.<

My understanding is that you buy clones WHEN you attack for PC. I'm pretty sure he meant to say that PC is on the 14th.

Also, I thought there was a maps devblog that has been promised for a long time that CCP LogicLoop said he put in the pipe quite a while back...?

My understanding is that you buy clones WHEN you attack for PC. I'm pretty sure he meant to say that PC is on the 14th.

So then go "poke" the person responsible.

Patch notes are needed, but what is completely frustrating is the lack of the list and stats on items, weapons, and suits that was promised to us.

You played enough Eve to know how theory crafting works. So go and take that knowledge and impart upon that person who is in sufficient power as to get things done, that we need that info ASAP.

Those of us with big plans, need to start planning.

I appreciate you being on to answer for your department, I just wish that more of the devs were willing to do the same for their stuff.

BTW, the PC presentation was very informative and clear, you did a great job.

That's what I'm trying to confirm.

Do we attack planets on the 6th or the 14th?

I'm glad to hear that new regions can be opened up without waiting for a major release.

What if we wind up with a miniature Blue Donut (MH is kinda donut-shaped), or even a slug fest- but only between a small number of corps/alliances?

How rarified does PC have to get (how small of a number of different alliances holding districts) before we see new regions?

Thank you for working on it and responding. I can understand how things can be missed, I'm sure it was hectic just preparing for the presentations at fanfest.

Also Very Well done on the planetary conquest keynote and QA.

May 6th is when Planetary Conquest launches.

Yeah, this is bugging me.

1. You refund all our skill points and cash out most if not all of our equipment.
2. You give us new dropsuits but not the weapons.
3. ATTACK!
4. Now, take a breather and figure out those new suits and spend points to set them up properly.
5. Yeah, you changed the vehicles too.

One week later...

5. Oh, here's the new weapons that many of you are saving your points for.

I'm very much looking forward to Uprising but the roll out seems like it was planned by a drunk person.

That means I have to stop myself from spending sp for a week so I can get the scramblers rifle and plasma cannon to advanced quickly.

I'm actually not sure if that's the case. The skills might be coming out on 5.6 and the weapons added on 5.14. I'll see if I can get an answer.

Correct.



I'm actually not sure if that's the case. The skills might be coming out on 5.6 and the weapons added on 5.14. I'll see if I can get an answer.

That doesn't change anything though. Whether we can skill into the weapons, but still not use them, or we have to wait till the 14th to both skill into them and use them is the same thing.

Simple question:

Corps taxes and Corps asset management? Any plan for uprising?

As a Dust CEO, it is very hard to manage our Corps without any Corp's tool. Trading asset from player to corps and corps to players, managing income and roles, all good stuff and could keep our players motivated and structured.

best,
Silid

If there are tech limitations that require PC to be shipped with Uprising at least deliver ALL gear on 5.6 and save new maps and Domination mode for 5.14.

Hey Foxfour, great to meet with you and drink with you at Fanfest. I still owe you 2 beers for losing that bet (you can collect them next year) and my wife was surprising cheerful that she got to talk about the pros/cons of python code!

Anyway, I have some questions, so here they are:

1) So since we can attack districts that belong to corps in our alliance. How do the OBs work in those cases, since the only rule you've told us is that anyone in the alliance can provide OBs.

Will they essentially be able to fire for both sides?


2) You mentioned during your PC talk that the loot chance to drop is 50% (just like eve). Does this apply to every suit, vehicle and everything fit on them (mods, weapons, equipment, grenades etc.) ? Because that is A LOT of loot.

How will the loot be shared amongst the mercs in battle?

Since you're working on mail I need to ask if this is or will be fixed.

With the neocom, for contacts and corp search, when you select a text box to bring up the keyboard for entry, you press X.
For mail however, pressing X SENDS, which is a bit annoying if you accidentally hit it thinking it'll bring up the keyboard, and end up sending a blank message. How simple would it be to just flip what the X and Square buttons do? Or make the whole thing consistent across the game so only Square brings up the keyboard. (Though if you did that, I'd still like send be moved to a button box at the bottom of the message, or set to the triangle button instead of X.)

(Yeah, the chat screen also uses Square that way, but since X doesn't do anything there unless you have it on the lists, it's less of an issue.)

I just wanted to say congratulations to the whole CCP staff for yet another awesome Fanfest (I just watched the stream) and I really hope you all had a blast, you really do deserve it.

I've been playing DUST for almost a year now, and it's been great to watch the progress, and seeing how true to your vision you've stayed is inspiring for me. It was good seeing you all up on stage, smiling and doing what you love to do; bringing us the coolest experiences in gaming, day after day.

Take it easy everyone, watch those hangovers. One day I hope to meet you all and toss a few back, but for now I'll just live vicariously

Here's to another 10 amazing years CCP, and 1000 more to come.

We are aware of this issue however there are no changes coming to it for Uprising. We hope to be looking at it in the future though.

I look forward to seeing you at a future Fanfest in person! :P

It would be, it however is the best fit. I have a document around somewhere in which I describe every region in the game and give a reason why it should or should not be considered, if it is considered why it should or should not be the chosen one. Molden Heath won out. That is a LONG document. :(

I kinda want to look at that document.

Not going to show the whole document, for many reasons, I will however dig up a TL;DR version of it.

The following regions are involved in FW so are removed:

• Devoid
• The Bleak Lands
• The Citadel
• Black Rise
• Essence
• Verge Vendor
• Placid
• Heimatar
• Metropolis

The following regions are removed because they are null sec:

• Wicked Creek
• Venal
• Vale of the Silent
• Tribute
• Tenerifis
• Tenal
• Syndicate
• Stain
• The Spire
• Scalding Pass
• Querious
• Pure Blind
• Providence
• Parrigen Falls
• Period Basis
• Paragon Soul
• Outer Ring
• Outer Passage
• Omist
• Oasa
• Malpais
• The Kalevala Expanse
• Insmother
• Impass
• Immensea
• Great Wildlands
• Geminate
• Fountain
• Fethabolis
• Fade
• Etherium Reach
• Esoteria
• Detorid
• Deklein
• Curse
• Cobalt Edge
• Cloud Ring
• Catch
• Cache
• Branch

Removed due to mostly being high security:

• Kador
• The Forge
• Everyshore
• Tash-Murkon
• Domain - Also just ungodly big.
• Lonetrek - What low security space it does have is broken up by high security
• Sing Laison
• Kor-Azor
• Derelik
• Genesis - Actually is more low security space, but it is all broken apart by high security pockets.

To many temperate planets:

• Metropolis - Double the number of worlds we wanted, half of it is high security, and it is just a REALLY large region
• Khanid
• Derelik - This was almost removed for high security space, but the low security stuff is basically all group together so it would work.
• Arridia

This left us with two regions:

• Molden Heath: http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Molden_Heath#sec
• Solitude: http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Solitude#sec

Comparing the two of those left us with Molden Heath for the following reasons:

• There is less high security space breaking things up; the three low security systems in Solitude shown at the bottom of the Dotlan map don't even have temperate planets.
• Molden Heath has more varying stratigic value with systems hidden away behind other systems with no temperate planets. Attrition means those will be harder to take.
• Molden heath is cleaner and easier for us to show on the new infographic map. Something to consider when it is the first and only region out the gate and the one that will be the most viewed.
• Molden Heath is also more active from the EVE side of things.

Analysis? I just looked at all the regions and picked Molden Heath. Much less work that way.

Since you are the guy working on corp mails, you seem to be the best person to ask....

Will the Dust side mail send window be fixed? I've sent MANY blank messages on mistake.

I don't even recognize that term, where was it used?

Hey man, want to say community loves you, also I know this might be little unrelated but I don't think I heard anything from fanfest about it. My question is: when are the rts elements going to be introduced? or are you guys still doing that? i.e. turret placement and mcc piloting?

oh wow you're actually responding, so you work on PC right? well I think ISK needs to be divided at the end of a PC match based on WP not everyone getting the same amount of ISK, it punishes offensive players.

oh wow you're actually responding, so you work on PC right? well I think ISK needs to be divided at the end of a PC match based on WP not everyone getting the same amount of ISK, it punishes offensive players.

The ISK and loot distributed at the end of a match for planetary conquest will be based on on time spent in the match. Not WP and not evenly (unless all the players joined at the same time). You will also get loot/ISK if you leave the match, again only if you were in it for more than 60 seconds.

But that's not fair, if I contribute more I should get more! do you not see that? or are you blind foxfour?

Or you could just die less.

I'm not changing my play style for any game. I'm the best type of play style and I'm going to stay that way.

Why should you get more?

Planetary conquest is about working as a team for the team objective of winning and conquering planets.

I. did. more. work. that's like working 15 hours and getting payed $15 and then the person next to you does the same thing for one hour and gets paid $15 as well even though he works just as quickly as you do.

@FoxFour will clones be able to attack from two districts?

LMAO, oh, this is hilarious......by the way, how many socks did you receive?

Do I have to answer this?

For two different attacks yes.

When you do an attack for 1 hour after the START of the battle your corp, and only your corp, can launch another attack. That follow up attack can come from any of your districts.

I don't even recognize that term, where was it used?

Do I have to answer this?

yes, yes you do

But what I meant though, would I be able to move say, 70 clones from one district and 70 from an adjacent one simultaneously?

Also, districts are locked after battle? Can they be reinforced with clones immediately from other districts, kinda like moving pieces after a turn of Risk?

4 pairs of socks from 4 different people. I am just happy I didn't get the crown made of socks someone was promising.

Okay. you got a point. I'll just rely on my corp to feed me ISK if I can't run full proto still (highly doubtful but whatever)

You would have to move the clones to one district first and then move them from there.

Districts are not locked after a battle. They are locked after a battle if the attacker wins the district, but they are locked because the district has a new owner.

Districts stay as under attack for one hour after a battle starts. During that time only the attacker can launch another attack. If they do this of course the district will remain as under attack after the battle.

So when we buy a pack of clones, will we get to choose exactly where we want them? Or will the placement be random?

So, provided you have the clones, you could fight back to back battles for a district to whittle down the defender?

Was there any information about changing one's homesystem in the eve universe?

How long are battles supposed to last? Can you initiate another attack while one attack is happening? In other words, are we likely to see corp directors sitting outside of a battle until they decide whether to launch a follow-up attack, and then launching it before the current battle is finished?

Yeah, this is bugging me.

1. You refund all our skill points and cash out most if not all of our equipment.
2. You give us new dropsuits but not the weapons.
3. ATTACK!
4. Now, take a breather and figure out those new suits and spend points to set them up properly.
5. Yeah, you changed the vehicles too.

5. Oh, here's the new weapons that many of you are saving your points for.

I'm very much looking forward to Uprising but the roll out seems like it was planned by a drunk person.

You can launch another attack while the first is happening yes, again it won't happen until the next day though. Unless no one captures any null cannons for the entire match you should have plenty of time to launch an attack after the battles ends.

I am going to head home for the day though and I have the next two days off. So take care guys and I will talk to you later. Thanks for an awesome Fanfest and amazing thread helping me recover today. :)

So 3x SP ends may 2nd. The patch is the 6th. Can we take this as the servers will be down for 4days?

Hmmm... That is probably a speculative reach.

As promised for Etero Narciss, a shortened version of the internal document for choice in region.

Seriously, though-

I think Reav is expressing a very valid concern. I know I've seen the same concern echoed all over the boards.

It sounds like people would much rather have clone packs unavailable until the 14th so that they have a little time to view the timers and get their money together. As Reav said, it also lets people get their gear on.

Not for uprising. Corp TAX is on the roadmap and so is corporation hangers; that being said corp TAX is on the roadmap ahead of the corp hanger.

If you are responsible for adding an option for Corp wide mail, I hope my CEO bought you a drink.

If you are responsible for adding an option for Corp wide mail, I hope my CEO brought you a pair of socks

No, we do not currently have any plans for that. There are a whole lot of technical and design questions that need to be answered first.

Can we at least choose our quarters somehow? Becuase right now for the next 6 months we only get to see one room, and it seems random which you get.

At least base it on race please? For now?

The Faceless Soldier spends his days
Inside a metal box and prays
That someday that the doors will be unlocked.
He curses at the mute TV
This prison or menagerie
Is no fit place for man nor beast to walk

Isn't it based on Race? I picked amarr, and I have amarr quarters, and I'm SICK TO DEATH of them. At least with Eve, I can fly to different quarters to if I want to. Even if we can't move, can we change quarters? Please? I'll pay AUR...

If you are responsible for adding an option for Corp wide mail, I hope my CEO bought you a drink.

Your station quarters should be based on your local system which depends on your starter corp which is dictated by the Faction you chose ... ie. Minmatar start in Minmatar NPC corps which are based in Minmatar regions and should have Minmatar station quarters ... mine is, I figured everyone else was the same ... pretty sure my alts follow the same principal, I'd have to check though.

Well, you knew Planetary Conquest is coming for a month or so with some estimated prices. You should have already have the ISK for that ;) If not, then, well, tough luck ;)

Yes, I understand that. However, in the short term, since we can't leave our room except to fight, and exactly what system we are in between missions is irrelevant to everything except local chat, I'd be willing to pay AUR to move out of my standard Amarr Mercenary Quarters in the Amarr Station to:

• Caldari Business Suites
• Gallente Luxury Personal Appartments
• Minmatar Tribal Communal Blocks

Likewise, someone on a Caldari, Gallente, or Minmatar station could purchase a

Amarr Meditative Sanctuary

The rooms were originally supposed to be upgradeable, and the ones we have are the low-rent versions. Unfortunately, the capsuleers got their knickers in a twist about playing "Space Barbies" and the feature was never implemented. Still the groundwork is there, lore-wise, to have interchangeable quarters in the stations.

Why yellow logistics... can i change this or am i stuck being yellow forever?

why leave out the new weapons for the first week of PC? people are going to either have to waste skill points or be less effective that first important week of land grabs

how did this get to the second page?

no, bad, not happening

Hey guys,

I hope you all had a good week last week and a good weekend. If you attended FanFest, thank you for coming out and I hope you had as much fun as I did! :D It was a truly amazing time and I thank you all for being part of this amazing community.

I have been so busy over the last week and a bit I have not paid any attention to the forums, twitter, or IRC and so have missed a lot.

Today is... well as the title suggests a bit of a recovery day. So while I attempt recover I would like to ask you all the following:

What did I miss? Events, forums posts, questions, stuff.

Please keep in mind that I am on team True Grit and we worked on the following for Uprising:

• Planetary Conquest
• Corp/Alliance mail/chat
• Personal/corporation wallet history
• Other small stuff

Questions outside that I can't really answer. Now is your chance to catch me up on stuff and for me to chill with you guys.

This is a shortened version of the document I have internally, but it should give you a general idea.

On the off chance it's one of those "other small things" that you are associated with, is the PlayStation Move getting any love in uprising? Love using it with sharpshooter but it is woefully broken in this build.

Great job at fanfest, loved the presentation, love the future vision, can't wait to shoot the face off it! ;)
