I just want to add that I find it highly... well awkward that very few of you bother to make such long and thought out responses when I post random to the forums or "interact" with the community. Guess I best shut up before you guys get mad at me.

If for some reason you guys don't want to believe CCP Mintchip when she says it, as someone from outside the community team they are working to improve the communications.

/me shrugs

Home I go

The fact that the vocal majority is so up in arms and disappointed with Dust to date, makes for the possibility that CCP is in fact doing the right thing by going about their business and building their game, their way and in their own good time.

If I seriously had any substantial issues with Dust, I simply would not play it.

I enjoy playing it, so I throw CCP some coin now and then.

I like the fact that CCP is a private company, on an island, protected by Vikings. It will take more than this homely hoard to stop them from realizing their vision, I have played EVE long enough to appreciate that.

The game mechanics, the immersion, all the broken things, to me, will simply be cast back into the fire and forged into something new. The passion and protectiveness those at CCP must certainly feel towards the living beast that is Tranquility must, no doubt, run deep.

The reaction to the deployment of Icarna asked CCP to HTFU. With the release of Dust, it is CCP who is asking this new breed of console/PC playerbase to HTFU.

Uninstall if you have too, but your toons will persist until you biomass. This game is free. Your time is your own, spend it wisely.

As for me, I will be here. With a pistol to your face.

You can trash my corp, my ceo, my alliance, even my gameplay. I'll still be here. With a pistol to your face.

Absolutely, more updates and more information is on the horizon :) Cheer up buttercup!

Dust 514 Community Rep

We appreciate the fact that you've spent money in order to play DUST., and we're very grateful that you made the investment.
We appreciate the fact that you have opinions on DUST, either positive or negative, that you would like to share.
We also appreciate that you may want to use these forums to air your concerns directly to the developers.

However, in the same respect, there are rules here. Those rules include guidelines for good conduct to ensure that there are no personal attacks on our staff, or on other DUST 514 players.

Read them. Also understand them.

As said previously, we're more than open to criticism. This is one of the key ways that we'll improve DUST 514, by listening to our feedback from our players and acting accordingly. However, this takes time, and what we won't listen to in the meantime are bile filled rants that degenerate into personal attacks on our staff.

The situation is simple. Read the forum rules, understand them, and post accordingly.

We are aware of the concerns, and are more than willing to listen, but we will not tolerate attacks on our staff.

Yeah. The Dev's don't post enough and ignore a lot of threads, fail to telegraph their current direction and generally act like a company that isn't CCP... but they are not vengeful or petty.

Some people just have no calibration on what it looks like to post badly, and get all confused when it turns out they are bad at post.

Absolutely, more updates and more information is on the horizon :) Cheer up buttercup!
