Good morning community,
We have just about entered the final week of July. Thank you all for being here and sticking with it this far.
Uprising 1.3 is presumably scheduled to land before August. Presumably, because we aren't clearly told what to expect.
But even in an information vacuum word will spread. It's the accuracy and reliability of what is said that suffers when community leaders refuse to communicate.
That may be part of why the forums and player blogs, tweets and posts are so full of widely varying perspectives about Dust.
Have you seen today's article on Massively about DuSt514, CCP? Do you care?
Will the CPM deliver information to the playerbase regarding when 1.3 willdropand what we can expect there? I refer to the CPM because CCP has shown its strong aversion over the past year to delivering patch notes, devblogs or other clear information prior to content release.
CCP, you may not give a damn about rumors and public opinion and player concern when it comes to Dustand your fabled "road map". And you may find it convenient and beneficial to your strategy to limit the amount of timely info about what's coming and when.
But, if any of the din & cries from the online diaspora means anything to you, you may want to reconsider your tight lipped approach to transparency.
Respectfully, HS |

The CPM is under NDA, so of course they won't be able to neither say what's in 1.3 or when it's coming. That's understandable of course, but CCP have shown patch notes to the CPM a while ago, so surely we should be able to see it as well? CCP knows what's coming in 1.3 but just won't tell us.
Also 1.3 is likely dropping the 30th with patch notes hopefully coming tomorrow. |

Hey wow! A well written and informed article! Very true on a lot of accounts.
Bitterverts don't need aurum gear anymore and new players feel like their forced to in order to compete.
Biggest issue with this model is it works itself into obsolescence.
Once you have enough SP you wont need boosters or aurum gear anymore... you see that already starting to happen amongst the bittervets. |

I was under the impression that 1.2 was the july patch, 1.3 will be the August patch, and 1.4 will probably launch right around the same time as GTA 5. So even though I expect a triple SP event to coincide with 1.4, I doubt I will be around to test the new build becuase I would much rather be playing what i hope to be another stellar game from Rockstar.
What is really funny is that when I first got into the closed beta, I expected the game to take a few months to get rolling, but at this pace it won't be anything resembling a good PS3 game until the PS4 is two years old. Which is a real shame. |

"CCP's Chief Marketing Officer, David Reid, said in 2012 that he thought DUST "could be the biggest game in the world" at the end of the year and that it could bring "tens of millions" of console gamers into the EVE universe. This seemed ridiculous at the time, and now that the dust has settled (pardon the pun), we can see just how ludicrous it really was. The free-to-play business model hadn't been thoroughly tested on consoles or in first-person-shooters yet, and now it seems that PS3 owners aren't impressed."

Yeah I'm not much of a GTA dude, since I got kids around and crap, but GTA trailer makes me want to buy it. Game looks fun as ****, can't wait to get it  .
I'll still play Dust, don't worry CCP. When PS4 launches I will be 1 of maybe 300-1000 ppl still playing.  |

Steel dark and GTA, thanks for those links. Bendtner, thanks; that is exactly what I was thinking as well.
We have been round and round this communication problem with CCP. They have learned a lot and such is evident by how they communicate with and deliver info to the Eve playerbase. But the interaction with the dust community feels like the 'bad old' days' of a few years ago when CCP almost allowed Eve to spiral out of control.
Now we search about for scraps of data, info and feedback only to see signs that DUST direction and leadership is crumbling.
Does this sound like hype and hyperbole? I dont mean it to. I am simply alone in the dark with however many dust players remain...a darkness inspired by ccp's choice to restrict information and feedback.
What is the value of an NDA that stifles the growth of a game? CCP, are you seriously afraid that 'someone' is going to swipe your terrific secrets about dust and rush off to make a better game? Really?
If they could do that I would play it. While you might consider this justification to hold more tightly to the information your players crave, I consider this the very reason you should open up and win our heats and minds.
Help me feel committed, inspired and excited about Dust again? Tell me if there is anything worth waiting for.
Use words like: 30July2013 instead of soon. Use clear transparent data instead of carefully phrased and scrutinized adjectives to tease and taunt.
Try something different in your approach to your players. The road to innovation is littered with the relics of those who declared the good old ways were still the best. |

Remove gear tiers. Introduce customization mechanics. Move weapon variations into weapon modding.
Vanity items become AUR and Event type exclusives to replace "early unlock" and BPOs. Realize that more people will pay through the nose for hats and colors than early unlocks.
Everything becomes easier to balance due to removal of performance tiers (straight upgrades).
No more complaints about AUR items with superior stats either.
DUST 514 stops being perceived as P2W.
Just my 2 cents. |

Sadly, this job has now been handed over to IWS, and as we all know, every one of those hints is approved by CCP because IWS doesn't jump unless they tell him to.
So instead of progress, we are actually having regression.
CCP cannot provide meaningful dates because the project currently has no EP, and the general lack of management has turned the whole project into a freakshow of how not to get a service functioning smoothly.
Look at the "roadmap" dev blog for concrete proof that they really don't have a long term plan that isn't sketched on the back of a cocktail napkin in a drawer somewhere. |

What do you mean, "that is all I remembered"? What is the source of this info?
CCP, CPM - this right here is my point! Why must your players post third and fourth hand info about your plans? Why must we feel the need to get on these forums and ***** and whine at you constantly about transparent feedback?
Why do you wait till the final moment to post crap about Dev blogs being typed as we speak?
Thanks Mortadela for giving us what you believe you know. Honestly if a blue poster said exactly the same I feel so jaded and frustrated with thier performance I might doubt it as well |
