Sorry if I don't know this, who's Blam!? There's alot of speculation but what causes someone to go "missing"? All of CCP goes missing during the 3 months of summer (lazy Europeans and their 3-month vacations...  ), but either this job listing is looking for a "second" EP or they have a vacancy. You never post for a job that's already filled and it's never wise to keep a dead-man-walking around as they might do something to sabotage the project. |

Does CCP operate on some timeline that is 2 months behind the rest of us?

All information is available online should one chose to look through a variety of social networking sites. I can give you the start: Gaming with DaOpaOther than that I will let those whom are interested in this matter do the rest of the footwork and come to their own conclusions. It is not my place to declare anything in regards to peopleGÇÖs status. LetGÇÖs keep in mind that this is a game but that there are people in the GÇ£real worldGÇ¥ whom depend on this project for their livelihood and I for one am not one to make light of that fact.

TL;DR (Too Lazy Did Not Research)
CCP Blam is the Vehicle Dev, you know the guy who has messed up the balance of the entire game.  |

If this game was handled by EA lets say, it would've been perhaps the best FPS of all time, cuz the concept and potential are there, but the execution is close to comical, and that just brakes my heart ;'(
EA is the abusive corporate overlord of mass produced-narrow minded-vomit. I would rather see DUST fail as a somewhat unique game then to attempt emulation of an Electronic Arts product...
For comparison, lets look at what DUST is and why its different. It is an FPS MMO with a Science fiction Theme tied into a unique established intellectual property known as EVE. The way it differs from most other shooters is, that it is a slow building game where players must spend weeks improving them selves to become ideal in any roll. Where as most games adhere to pleasing those in favor of instant gratification, and typically relegate advancement through time invested to novelty changes. From what I have experienced that leads to terrible self serving, short sighted player base.
Where DUST has failed however, is to provide unique aspects of game play to fill a niche. Something that CCP did fairly well with EVE. As an example it has no meta game around supplying war (market, industry, logistics) and nothing in match such as a real time strategy element to add an extra layer of depth to engagement. Additionally the scale of failure in the event of loss in terms of assets are to small to be of concern for more then the player loosing them. (There are no Supercaps in DUST) The reason why it is failing is because it gives nothing that other games in the genre do not already do extremely well, in the sense that this game is competing as a fairly run of the mill lobby shooter. (I hate to consider DUST a lobby shooter but that is all it is at the moment.) For CCP to correct this short coming it needs to offer more then its competitors not compete with them head on when they have a crushing market share.
A new EP might be a step in the right direction.
TL:DR? EA is an awful company for equally terrible people. The reason DUST is failing, is due to CCP trying to take the saturated market head on instead of truly innovating, or setting itself apart to fill a niche. |

Well, whats the worse thing that can happend?
That the new EP ruins the game? But isnt everyone saying that its **** already? that it has not Future? that is dead?
Then why fear?
This is the best thing that could have happened to Dust
This can only mean, that the thing will get better. Maybe the EP was an obstacle, maybe he is one of the reasons why CCP
has been listening to all those who want to see this game like COD
and have changed Innovative and unique features (heavies being like mini tanks for example)
I think, that things will change from now on, that they will be always better.
Many say that we are at "the bottom", so now the only thing we can do is go up |

As many of you have seen, we are hiring a new Executive Producer for DUST 514. The job listing that was referenced in the initial comment on this thread was taken down because it had some grammatical errors, and when those are fixed it will be reposted. We have several great leads on candidates for the position and hope to be able to share good news with you soon. |

Good, I like what you're doing. Just like you said on the AMA, you guys just have to keep pushing CCP to be more open and tell us more. With that, and good patches, we'll be going somewhere. |

CPM disbanded. Curfew enacted.

Seriously though, I hope all goes well and we continue moving forward, if nothing else. Best of luck CCP, we're all rooting for you, well, most of the bitter berries are at least, they just won't admit it

This is great news. I know the community as a whole has been very vocal about the direction this game has been taking, and will welcome 'fresh eyes' to the project. This also proves that CCP is taking all of the feedback seriously as to what needs attention, as its no small task to replace a producer, as the company i work for has gone through similar changes with great success. Hopefully the new ExPro will have lots of good input as to how the game can regain its incredible vision. Cheers, CCP! |

I imagine that the past EP was a major Caldari Fan boy.
Jokingly of course, but that begs the question. Will this game become better or worse?
No more Caldari 514 hopefully heheh. |

2 = quite a few.
I see.
Also, what data do we have to say that they left, rather than being dismissed?
We'll likely never know either way.
But, as always, it has to be rats leaving a sinking ship because being negative is more fun. |
