Especially after that E3 trailer that just got posted.

well since this is the thread being used for highlighting obvious roadblocks in/to the game.......

last night (in the Sony presentation at E3) i witnessed a MMFPS where the graphics were crisp, team play seemed engaging and fun, there seemed to be a narrative/objective that the players were working towards, and there was a seamless, even organic integration into a large playable 'public' event. it was everything i had hoped to see, and it was breathtaking that it could be done and presented in such a manner.

here in lies your issue CCP. and i know you guys are smart enough to know that this could be THE problem for Dust. a timer just started counting down, and if the spring of 2014 comes along and Dust 514 is not as polished and playable as what i described above, then i think you will be up a very smelly creek, without a paddle.

i believe that you can build a good game, but whether you can do that in 7-9 months.... i'm not so sure.
if you can, then you control your future, if not..... then that 'Destiny' will be in our hands.

This is so true! I am a business owner and I can tell you that if any of my people created a product like this they would all be gone because at the end of the day I would be out of business eventually.

CCP has to be feeling the heat on this project. From a business side it looks like a huge failure right now. They have been working on DUST for years and this is as far as they have gotten? Time, effort, resources, etc...for this? Wow...

I, too, think CCP and their dust project has a lot of promise. I've played a lot, contributed money, etc.

But let's not split hairs, nor sugar coat a few obvious issues that have arisen since the uprising release. It's become kind of glaring that the devs of dust have some very bizarre priorities, and they lack attention to detail. It seems like problems that would arise from a group of developers all doing their own thing and combining their work in a big mash up resulting in an unharmonious product.

I guess they will eventually arrive at their destination as to where they want this product to be. I have no doubt about that, really. They have a lot of time, and can ultimately do really good damage control once they have a good product. But there have been so many missteps recently, and let's be blunt. Uprising added a little bit of cosmetic changes and very small content updates. However, it added nothing to the foundation, which is as of yet, still quite broken.


They don't need yes man cheer leading right now. They need blunt honest assessments that are productive, intelligent, and nudging. We can pat their backs AFTER they accomplish something, not before. We are all adults here. You aren't guaranteed success. I think they've had enough wake up calls to hopefully realize they are apparently struggling, and need to make some proactive changes that will get them back on their feet.

I mean, does anyone think they are in control right now? It seems like a firefighting fest, and we are all trapped in their burning building. We need a refreshing water hose of bug fixes and content all over us with force. 8 months from now is not going to cut it.

Oh my God. If I had a nickel for every time some neck beard wearing, basement dwelling, part-time CEO business finance major wanted to tell some computer game company ALL ABOUT making frickin' computer games....

What ever. I thank goodness that I do not have to respond to all of these arm-chair quarterback style business management posts in a professional manner like CCP. I would probably hire some popular Internet personality filled with smiles and glee just to avoid it.

Do you people berate every gas station owner and WalMart checkout clerk about how they run thier business too?

Just being a customer of a company does not give you any expectation that your rage induced whine posts (cleverly disguised as business savvy) should be well received or acted upon by people running that business.

Yah, yah....free Internet forum is free. Post your hate and delusioned solutions for all of CCPs shortcomings. I do honestly hope you feel better.

I actually do feel better telling you how I feel. Maybe that's the point

Pretty sure that's all I do... and my job is to actually design stuff. O_O

Had to go on the EVE forums to figure out why DUST was down.. A player was nice enough to post a link for you guys. Can i have a job? ;-)
