New Maps, Game modes, and Weather?

CCP Logic Loop and the teams he works with have been really busy at work in getting maps to you guys, there are 3 outposts in the works and 1 new terrain layout as well. The two publically known about outposts are the Caldari Research Facility pictured in a map blog sometime back was supposed to been in 1.3 but missed the deadline so it should be in 1.4 hopefully baring disasters to it. The other facility was the Caldari Production Facility which was tweeted about a few days ago getting blocked up. While there is no date for the new terrain nor the other two outposts there are many more smaller and medium sockets making it in and improvements to the map tech when possible are contentiously being made. As for new GÇÿmoodsGÇÖ the CPM will have to poke CCP Logic Loop on that.

I have applied glue to this topic. Also moved to The Council Chamber

Thank you for all this info!



Isn't it actually the Gallente Research Facility, not Caldari? And LogicLoop has also stated the Minmatar Cargo Hub outpost is being worked on, rounding out the 3 new outposts.

This is very much appreciated.

Great post, CPM_Saber.

Care to comment on the proximity of Cmdr Wang's stated "future Dev love for Scouts"?
Does CCP still hold the power to dispense Dev love via Hotfix?

So What is the news on PVE? Aside from the work on the drones, any other dialogue going on?
Great source of discussion on it is here. https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=49714

Thanks for the info. Has CCP ever thought of player content? there are allot of things players could be modeling and animating, and submitting to CCP that they could certainly use the extra manpower with.

Valve has shown a way forward to this and it is a great way to help create content for your game.

The ARMA series is also a great example of this.

Admitting your team is small and limited is the first step, figuring out how to force multiply is the next.

And player content is a great force multiplier.

They have actually take a look at these four ships

Well CCP did say they were interesting in working in the steam workshop but that's likely more to do with Unity development and making games based on that engine.

+1 Great post. Glad to see an update.

Thoughts: Super bummed PVE is shelved. However, from what I've seen with where balancing and core mechanics are going I can definitely say it's a good tradeoff.

My Priority List:
Matchmaking>Fix LLAVs > Weapon Balance > Armor vs. Shield balance > Core Mechanics > New Game Modes > New Maps > Rounding out racial weapons/vehicles > PVE Content > New vehicle types > New weapon types

Glad to see a few of my high points getting hit in 1.3/1.4

Thanks for taking the time and letting the community know these things. But is there ever going to be anything new for the heavy class. We never get any new suits and it took months for them to put an aurum steemline out. Or a new heavy class weapon

PvE needs to be just crammed into the game in any state as far as I'm concerned. We've seen it in trailers for years now.

I had a very simple idea for PvE which is we attack a remote controlled research station which is literally just loads of red aligned turrets shooting at you. This should be very easy to do using current mechanics and would fix a lot of problems with the game in terms of balance while they get to work fixing that balance.

Dust has been barely out for a year, PVE wasn't even shown in a trailer for about 6 months.

It's cute how the trailers never seem to have anything to do with the actual game.

It's like I'm playing an old school RPG all over again.

The launch of Uprising to the public signaled something dreadful inside CCP Shanghai, damage control kicked in but it wasnGÇÖt enough. CCP had to literally sit down and rethink everything including the way the studio did business; essentially doing a little bit of its own HTFU for itself.

So CCP is finally admitting that Uprising was a total disaster and a ton of steps back from everything the beta had built up? Good to know they wasted an entire year trying to to build a decent game and then ****** it up. All we wanted was more gear, more maps, and more game modes, everything Uprising failed to deliver at launch. :(

CCP Prefits are horrible!
Agreed, well try to convince CCP to maybe help get starter and market fits pre fitted by the community to submit.

There wouldn't happen to be a thread for this?
