Sadly there hasnt been enough good news. More importantly, is the game good enough to write about say, twice per week? Interest in the game is waning on many levels and even media is affected at this point. When is the last time you saw a boots on the ground episode? We can only hope CCP makes some timely changes. Does anyone know the status of Dust 514 Exec Producer CCP Jian? [Brandon Laurino]

Sorry dude ive never really valued your opinions, if anything you do your up most to pick the horrible bits and bring it to forefront of every arguement which in the end of the day hurts everyone else. By decreasing the active user base. (Not saying your blog has that much influence, but bad publicity will put people off) you will hurt the fact people want to play, rather than just reading sh!tty reviews and sacking it off.

If you cant find the positives (in a unfinished game) and realise CCP's train of thought then your not much of a 'Journalist' Its easy to take the objective side of things going wrong. Rather than trying to pull users in and getting a better commetary(Un-biased) of the stuff thats going right.

Good read. Keep it up. The game deserves the reviews it got, from critics and fans. And Those that shouted the loudest for the FPS second to everything else, why are you then surprised that the FPS community rejected it? And then, some how blame the console FPS crowd? lol

Dust as a fps going to PC would get more stomped in the reviews than it did on consoles. PC? like home of the FPS? Yeah.


What audience was dust shooting for? No, don't think about it, just say it.



Dust 514 is a Lobby shooter. Not destiny. not defiance. not even red dead redemption. say it with me and accept it... LOBBY SHOOTER.

As the numbers of active Dust players continue to fall http://t.co/G0NaZCkD7u many will notice our blog has shifted into what can be done to improve the game. Why? In hopes that the issues preventing player retention and game growth can be resolved. Telling the stories of New Eden is nice, but is useless with the game still badly in need of better gameplay and more variety of experience. We cant in good conscience write about the dominant forces in Planetary Conquest when so many core aspects of the game are still broken or missing. We've seen the effects of this honesty take shape. Our last interview request [which we made over a month ago] with CCP has still gone unanswered. A CCP Dev has even blocked us on Twitter. We're unmoved however, while legions of 'yes men' may line up to tell CCP 'good job' by refusing to ask the hard questions, we have consistently criticized the poorer aspects of this game, which to date has been universally rejected by not only gaming media but also casual, hardcore and EVE players.

Anyone who is telling you 'everything is alright' is lying.There has always been a vocal troll element wishing for Dust to fail for one reason or another, that group has a twin that sings CCPs praises regardless of missteps. There has also been a reasonable group of gamers that want to see the game succeed but is willing to be critics when necessary, we consider ourselves part of the latter and we feel this group is critical.
