Man, this is bull****. I'm still trying to cap two character out. The servers have been down all weekend and now this bull****. WTF MAN!

You might not cry over this if they do something for everyone for the problems this week. Go cap out in a day. You'll be better off. If you can't Cap in a day sounds like a personal problem. So QQ and get over it

Did CCP really only give Dust players 1 hour 18 minutes notice that they were going to extend downtime in this way?

Seriously, I expected the downtime to mirror Eve's, but when there was nothing in the forums last night at just before midnight I sort of hoped.... clearly not!

CCP - you guys really do need to work on your communications skills. For years Eve players have been telling you this, and now that you're venturing into the console market, you simpy can't afford to make basic errors like this.

On a lighter note - I am loving Dust 514, although it's still really only a Beta considering the number of bugs and amount of balancing needed, but it clearly has huge potential, so keep working hard at it.

Is there some reason why this update had to start 3 hours before the regular DT?

The players are already a day short due to all of Sunday being down, then you cut the server time short by 3 hours the day after you get the servers running again? I still haven't capped yet, and still haven't met the Templar quota.

Now due to this, I am not going to make my cap by tomorrow night, and I also missed out on the Templar rewards all because of some EVE update which for some strange reason, had to start 3 hours before the regular DT.

Eve stays down for when only DUST gets an update Doesn't mean both sides always get an update.

Cant F****** wait this is be the best update ever for eve. but i would love to know would we be able to buy bpos for dust items and make them.

Really? What part of "Dust 514 plays on the same servers as Eve Online." don't some of you people understand? They have to take the servers down to patch Eve so, naturally, Dust will be down as well.

I'm going to have to put this faux pas down to ignorance of how the system works. Otherwise I'm going to think very unkind things about some of the posters. LOL

We haven't had an update that did something to the game, aside from skill respecs and templar event, since 5/23.

You meant the "Partial " Respec ( Lots of people haven't got it yet ) and the "Lottery" Templar Event. ( Good luck Finding one, and then try to killed, with another 5 guys aiming at the same guy ).

as of today, it is 3 weeks since i filed for my respec...

as for servers coming back online, regular downtime ends at 1130? this one ends at 1350 i thought, so no, not regularly scheduled end of down time.

First June 2nd then June 3rd until 11:30UTC now from 8:00GMT to 13:50GMT! This is getting on my nerves! But I still like CCP and understand why it's offline this morning.

Mastatii listen the servers are down. But you must realize that Odessy is something good for other people. So you'll have to deal with it.

It has been...I hope we get something out of this. But in the meanwhile we'll have to wait.

Its been a while since we got something good.

its been a month since we got uprising... and theyve been doing some minor balancing as well as the templar event. i remember when TQ only got fixes and changes at patch times, once every 6 months or so...

Hey. Not being a smart ass. Just curious. Why exactly is it such a good idea that Eve and Dust share a server? After this weekends debacle and now today's extended downtime it just seems like if they were on separate servers one game wouldn't bother the other so much. Or is that part of the integration of the 2 games?

wow... not even makin people work for it now... suddenly the scene from gladiators pops to mind... 'are you not entertained? is this not why you are here?' or something along those lines

Uprising came with lots of bad, so it is generally not good. And times are a bit different people expect faster delivery.

entitled much? EXPECT faster delivery from a company whos new to this... uprising screwed the pooch, and id rather they fix the broken stuff and NOT release new content than just pile on more broken features...

Uprising was fun for a bit the graphics were good the weapons were better. I still like Uprising. But it seems like you all want something NEW.

...Except it has been hyped from Fanfest two months ago that Odyssey will be scheduled to be deployed June 4th.
D'OH!

To be honest most of these complaints are valid but definitely put forward in the wrong thread. Come on guys we sound like a bunch of school kids ( no disrespect to school kids ) If you have submitted a re-spec request then sit tight, it will be done. CCP have given us what I believe is the best FPS out there for FREE and we are still not happy with the great customer service provided by CCP of which you wouldn't get from any other game developers, and trust me that is the truth. So zip it hang tight and enjoy the FREE yes FREE ride :-)

In PC battles, you need an EVE Player + 2500 WP to lay down an Orbital Strike. If you look to the sky during said Orbital, you will see the name and marker of whoever is laying it down. :)

Does anyone know what happens with my active boosters during all this down time? Curious to know if the clock stops ticking during down time.

Come on guys. Educated we are! We share tranquility with EVE, its only obvious this kind of thing would take place at some point. And I have just done some reading about Odyssey and its a well deserved expansion for eve players improving their gaming experience, just like Planetary Conquest has done for us. Big shout out to CCP for the great work they are doing :-)

We really in these forums should be complimenting CCP. And briefly mentioning complaints, instead of completely talking about how bad the game is. This is a truly amazing FPS, so start complimenting it instead of complaining about it. CCP has tried to please you, and worked very hard in order to do so. What you play now has been partly visioned by all of you mercs. This game can only get better and when it does you'll love the way it's put together,

I am not kidding. Maybe dust to you is not good. But dust was visioned by all mercs. If this is not how you visioned dust then why don't you try to get CCP to get it the way you want it. Just because you visioned one way doesn't mean that it has to be that way. I'm sure that CCP tried to fit people's ideas into this game. But not all of them.

Dust 514 was made as a extension to eve online hint in the logo eve dust 514. Yes it is a player game but they already have enough to fit into this game to make their vision happen first. Our ideas will have to wait until everything they need to make happen is done. Don't like it come back in a year or longer and see if they are done yet. This game is free **** what more do you want.

Ok maybe a small percentage of mercs. But DUST is still amazing and wonderful. So no matter what dust will eventually be way better. Because as I said this game can only get better.

This whole game was built to please network players. If you don't respect that CCP tried than try to realize the purpose of what your playing.

You joking, right ? Because this is nothing like i visioned Dust 514... and i been around since the beginning of the Open Beta.

When I said network players panther I meant playstation network players.

TL;DR But C'mon ppl.... This expansion has been known for months/weeks ahead of time and EVE ppl KNOW that an expansion being deployed takes an extra amount of time... Stop the QQ... Seems like there is ALOT of impatient kids on this game anymore....

I don't see people complaining about the downtime, I see people complaining about not getting the fixes to this game.

So Dust 514 have no business been in the PS3. It should be in the PC, as an "add on" for EvE online, and a part of the monthly subscription you guys pay every month.

I don't see people complaining about the downtime, I see people complaining about not getting the fixes to this game.

If DUST had launched for PC, so much rage would have happened. Riots in jita all over again. it would have been worse than being force fed captains quarters...

i have sat here since 9:00am waiting on updates from CCP about this update and all i have seen is people b*tching and whining because they cant play and i have seen a lot of dis respect towards the developers

to be honest its there games they can do updates when ever they want they try to make it better for everyone.

they could just close it down for good and say f*ck you all we are not doing it anymore but they haven't

but i haven't got to play waaa who cares go outside read a book watch a film its not the end of the world and i really doubt any of you know how hard it is to make a game like this in fact i challenge anyone to make a game as good if not better then EVE and Dust 514


so just shut up stop whining and wait for the server to come back online and for god sake show some respect

lmfao hung

for some reason my server loaded. but there are only 3 people online

You see.. the problem is: That EvE players are getting even more cool things for their game, when in the other hand "us" Dust 514 players, are not getting even basic game fixes... and we still playing a half finish, half broken game... THAT is going to **** people off... alot.

You know Panther you are doing a whole lot of whining about this game and how it shouldn't be on PS3 but I will bet you one thing right now, someone like you who is obviously so disgruntled about this game should take the one logical option available and just shut your pie hole and quit playing already. But I will bet you that when this server goes back online, you will have your happy little disgruntled rearend right in there with the rest of us mixing it up and having a good time killing the other mercs.

These guys are right, we should be complimenting CCP on the wonderful job they have done up to this point and realize that an undertaking like this is not easy and has never been done before. So be glad that you are part of something wonderful and unique and that you had some small part in making this game what it is and what it will become if you continue to offer CCP CONSTRUCTIVE feedback.

Oh and by the way, you think you have some keen perspective because you have been playing since Open Beta? Let me tell you something NOOB, I have been with this project since I was invited to participate in the CLOSED BETA and I'm sure I'm not one of the longer tenured players having been with it for a bit over a year now. When you open beta guys came along, we closed beta types had to start all over from scratch and for me that was over 4 million skill points lost but it was okay because we knew it was part of being in the closed beta project. You should see what the game was like then versus what it is now, you would keep quiet and have a whole new respect for what CCP has done!! So kick back, relax and enjoy watching this game become the greatest FPS ever made and realize that even though you are not happy at the moment, you have had a hand, whether large or small, in making this game what it is. Enjoy the fruits of your hard playing labors my friend.

P.S. My apologies for any terms you may take offense at like NOOB, Noob...lol!!

So did all that preaching make you feel good? STHU if people are paying for this game and they wanna cry because they are constantly not being able to play when their hard earned money is going into it then let them complain. who the hell are you to tell them different. fu**ers like u just want attention. trying to get a quick fan base to support your wack ass. and just for the record if they closed down the server and sites they will be losing oput on our money. we can clearly find other games to play if they were to do such a thing. foolish ass wannabe protester

OH SNAAAAP, damn son you went down the road I decided to avoid so thank you for expressing my sentiments for me...LMAO!! Trying to turn over a new leaf and be nice in the forums...lol!!

i was in the closed beta :D for the life of me i cant find the gun i used i think its there but with a different scope on no idea

Wow didnt think u get on forums.

Well hello my closed beta brother, remember the good ol' days when you could average over 15-20k sp in a single match?! And that was for a noob player like myself at the time. I remember guys making 30k+ sp in a match back then because they always placed in the top 3 in a match. I know what you mean about the guns, I do miss the old sights though, can't stand the "Iron Sights" but I do realize that things are gonna change and progress made whether we like the change or not, part of being in beta!!

Dear players,

Due to technical issues from this weekend, the Templar Manhunt event was adversely impacted. Here's an update on the status of the Templar Manhunt:

It will end during downtime today
Your Templar characters will be removed from your account if you were chosen to be a Templar


We realize that the server outage over the weekend has made participation in the event difficult and thus preventing players from reaching their event reward goals as templars/hunters. To rectify this, we are offerring the following to players who participated in the event:

All Templar players will receive their event rewards
All players who scored at least one Templar kill from downtime Saturday June 1 through downtime on June 4 will qualify for the Templar hunter reward


We also received a lot of good feedback about the event itself (i.e. Templars should get some starting ISK, and slightly higher starting skill points), and will be updating the design of the event for the future. It is our goal to host another similar event for the player community in the near future and we would like to thank those who have participated in this event and hope to see you again soon.



So you are extended the Event but yet giving the event reward to everyone? what about the people who still did the event and got the 20,000 WP?

You see.. the problem is: That EvE players are getting even more cool things for their game, when in the other hand "us" Dust 514 players, are not getting even basic game fixes... and we still playing a half finish, half broken game... THAT is going to **** people off... alot.

DUST on PC? NO! NO! NO!
On PC is to much chiters, young hackers etc.
I like DUST on PS3, maybe on Xbox too.
good day ;)

dust on xbox.......no way.......you need to pay online yearly......its free to play.......remember........

i havent been keeping track of my EVE patches, but they havent had anything significant since DECEMBER.

http://community.eveonline.com/news/patch-notes/patch-notes-for-retribution-1

theres been 2 small patches with various fixes since then. one of them was about 2 weeks ago, and the otherone was the patch that hit with uprising, which didnt impact MOST of the playerbase, with PC only being limited to a SINGLE region.

they got cool stuff today because theyve been waiting 6 months, we got cool stuff last month, and its not time for anything major to happen for a while aside from small batches of fixes. which they are working on

also the crew working on EVE content doesnt generally work on DUST, as far as i am aware, its effectively two separate teams and they each manage their own workloads and features. EVE getting content doesnt degrade from DUST getting content in any significant fashion. the big bad internet spaceship subscribers arent stealing your FREE content.

Hey noobs i have a song for you all to listen to watch this youtube video........ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgvM7av1o1Q ....HTFU

i used an assault rifle that looked like the scope u get for a sniper in halo lol i always seemed to either get 1st of 2nd in a match with bearly any deaths though i cant honestly say they were better then the game now the beta was an incredible experience and very enjoyable lol

the spec tree was easyer to understand to lmao

remember seein that the first time, didnt think it was serious for the longest of times.

and you know what i miss about the closed beta? the single MCC skirm mode...

they mentioned CCP in that vid. people from dust did that vid?

You know, if I'm not mistaken the old spec tree is still there I just can't remember where I saw it or how I got there. I could be mistaken though...
And that closed beta and open beta was definitely one heck of an experience and much fun. And like I said, our game play no matter how big or small has helped to make this game what it is and what it will become. So essentially we all helped to build this game and no matter how silly it sounds, I think its a pretty big deal, really cool and something special. :)

Hey noobs i have a song for you all to listen to watch this youtube video........ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgvM7av1o1Q ....HTFU

Holy **** i remember seeing this one back in the day...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=jzVjggarRns&NR=1

lmao, I was about to posty this also.

Some of you complaining sound like some self entitled little 5 year olds wanting to cry for the sake of crying to see if you get your way. Shut the hell up, go do something else for a bit. This Oddysey expansion has only been in the works for 6 months.. I mean cmon , we knew it was hitting in june.. who gives a fk if ccp didnt reannounce it to you until a few hrs, atleast they did remind you.. And for those crying that they should play dust while eve is patched wtf pipe you smoking on, we are attatched to the same tranquility server and this is not a patch, it is an Expansion.. so hush now little baby don't you cry , in a few hrs ccp gonna let you buy, that little aur tank to fry, while I stand above you laughing as you die!

are you serious, they been doin all these updates and the graphics in 2009 looks better? f*ck it, goin back to pokemon yellow version

The sound, omg the sound! I wish it was still that intense, it's like being in a real war zone.. and the ballistics holy ****! And the missile trails, explosions.. the jet fighter.. damn you ps3!!! Pretty sure that was all done on pc using carbon.. which would probably melt the fk out of ps3

PC? i don't think dust 514 is a PC game o.o

is there any chance of getting another batch of respecs processed during this downtime? or is this an all-hands-on EVE patch? not sure if DUST crews have to do anything for EVE deployments, so figured id ask the question

erm.. Eve online , CCp games.. nuff said

i cant remember but i think the 1st or 2nd build we did have a mcc commander

thank you ccp for the odyssey and having dust back up and running so people will stop crying.

It kills me knowing this new expansion is out and my gaming pc is busted. I was waiting and waiting for this summer expansion lol, one night of drunken rage to me back to the stone age. All I have is a desktop that is slam full of **** running all day 24/7 , so that won't work and a laptop basically for web and office use, can barely even play a browser game on this lol.

For shame CCP, this is highly disrespectful and totally douchey.

As a service provider, it is basic etiquette to give a minimum of 24hrs notice to such a planned event.

I, like many, was expecting to play DUST while waiting for EVE to patch.

I could had made other plans.

Treat us better.

---A paying customer.

the guy demanding we get an expansion... we did... just last month, called uprising... maybe youve heard of it?

though itd be nice to know if we could sneak in that respec, which ive been waiting for since the 14th of last month... today makes 3 weeks now
