HALF LIFE 3 CONFIRMED

Really wish HL3 would get released if only so this could stop. :P

True rumors :P

Just to be clear guys while we have said what we are working on, and it can easily be concluded that some of those things are being worked on for 1.4, if something is not done and ready for release we won't be releasing it.

With the new rapid release schedule for DUST it means that we work on things in what we call sandboxes and when the feature is ready for release we move it from the sandbox to an area we call main. Once that is done it will go out with the next release. For us this is amazing as it means we can more comfortably delay individual features until they are ready instead of having to rush/force it out or delay a scheduled release.

What this means for you guys is that we want to talk to you guys about we are working on but for us to continue doing that in an open fashion we really need you guys to be understanding in that things may be a bit more likely to slip a little bit. At the same time since we are releasing far more often a slip doesn't mean waiting another 6 months.

With all that said what is coming in 1.4 is still just rumors. Told you guys what we are working on but still not confirming what is coming in 1.4 :P

Dude. If you guys could just have someone post your "Actively working on possibly for 1.x" list of "Need to Have" "Want to Have" or whatever that you guys use in weekly dev meetings then the community will be very understanding if something ends up getting knocked off. As it stands you guys seem to content lock a patch and then it takes 2-3 weeks before we see patch notes a week prior to the patch. We'd rather see a list of draft patch notes for 1.4 like... today. And we totally understand what DRAFT means. It can even be something crazy like "Caldari logi - will be adjusted" "Flaylock pistol - will be tuned down" ... that kind of thing.

We want the play by play.

We can take it.

Here i thought every dumb threads of every kind had already been done.

And still, people surprises me.

What exactly is meant by the term "Corp Roles"? I find it odd that there are many players who seem eager and excited about this development. It doesn't sound very pertinent to the overall needs of DUST at the moment.

What are corp roles and how would they impact gameplay?

Yet, CCP lets people with POOR punctuation speak for us? LMAO
NEVER EVER start a sentence with "and"
"i" is ALWAYS "I"
"dumb thread"
"people surprise me"
fking loser

Wow. Talk about putting someone's feet to the fire over grammar.

I'll be sure not to send my kid to your public school.

"You started your sentence with a preposition... you're a fking loser!"

HTFU WELCOME TO KINDERGARTEN.

The word "and" is a conjunction, same with yet, but, for, so, or, nor. Conjunctions are used to join sentences together.This rule of never start a sentence with "and" is false and is only superstition created by teachers in order to stop pupils from fragmenting their writing.

The grammar superintendent comes in and books the grammar police for mistakes

heck, it almost feels like ccp fears us most of the time.

nothing personal, not meant bitchy, just stating this like I did before and will do if needed in the future too.

Technically the research outpost is an outpost (large socket). We should see it on Iron delta, spine crescent, and skim junction. Also there will be a new map supposedly. It is unknown how it will function with a large socket though.

What would be cool though if it was a canyon, with two large sockets on either side and hard to traverser lower areas from which to assault.

so a new map and a new outpost, cool.
