Did anyone else notice the mention of a Dust514 newsletter in the recent EVE newsletter? Can't seem to find it on the dust website though.
CCP can I haz explanation (and beta key)? I can post on a forum, therefore I represent everyone. |

Looks pretty awesome, not sure if it is worth buying a PS3 too bad they didn't release on 360 also! |

Well they intended to release it an Xbox as well.
If i understood properly what happened, it seems that microsoft was reluctant to change some mechanism in the way online game are played. Especially with the system of silver/gold account. And there were also some technical issues on the fact that most of the online architecture will be hosted by CCP.
Anyway, it was more microsoft choice than CCP's. Their loss...

Microsoft only lets games be hosted on Xbox Live, so CCP couldn't run Dust 514 off Tranquility as its designed.
Microsoft charges for all downloaded content, and requires fees on everything. CCP would not have been allowed to give away free expansions, Microsoft would have made them sell it to us.
CCP made the right move. They stuck to their plans for the game, even if all the console manufacturers didn't get on board.

CCP, any idea as to when beta keys will go out??? Even a, "in the next few weeks, or a few days" will do for an answer! The silence from you about this is very frustrating. |

i second that ^^ And precisions on the NDA so we can have an idea of how much information we would be able to see come out (or use to write articles in my case) when it's launched. Would you accept the release of articles first presented to you for validation ? I recall it has been done on previous beta testing and would be pretty good i believe to create an active community around the game.
What do you mean i take this too seriously lol ? Founder of-á http:\\Dust514France.blogspot.com |

This is just a continuation of CCPs long tradition of poor communications.
My feeling is that they are waiting until the discussions with Sony over microtransactions have concluded before starting the beta. I can post on a forum, therefore I represent everyone. |

Here's my suspicion. One of the things that recently occured was the recent hiring of a new Chief Marketing Officer, David Reid. His job is to basically oversee the Dust 514 launch from here on out.
As a marketer, he's going to be fiercely picky about CCP's public image, how they communicate, what order things are rolled out in, and what announcements are made to which media outlets, etc.
You're right, the Dust 514 rollout is definitely one of the communication low points since we were spoiled by Crucible. I imagine though that if the new boss is settling it, he's put a temporary halt in plans till he can review them and put his own expertise to work at tweaking the strategy before signing off and moving ahead.
It's in his best interest to try to fire this up as soon as possible - especially now that its his fault if we get too pissed off in the mean time I imagine he'll want to make Hellmar happy and get this circus underway.
But yeah. WHERE ARE OUR BETA KEYS, CCP??? |

It will be interesting to see what sort of marketing campaign David comes up with. I quite liked the 'you're not in Azeroth anymore' approach he took to Rift's launch. I wonder if we'll see a similar tactic, where the marketing campaign directly confronts and dimisses the competition. Perhaps we will see some trailer with a non-dust player talking about how l33t he is due to the large collection of hats he has amassed.
I agree that it's disapointing that we seem to be returning to the communication problems that we are used to (hopefully this is not the case, and it's more due to having to bring the new guy up to speed). I can post on a forum, therefore I represent everyone. |

This is why I'm pretty optimistic about Dust 514 - the fact that it will be more hardcore than the other traditional shooters. Even the "hardcore" titles like Call of Duty will look like child's play in comparison. Dust 514 will gain a reputation for being where the real l337 gamers go and become popular for that reason. |

I hope this is a joke cause i just puked a little. Plain and simple : There's no hardcore FPS on PS3 atm. And if there were to be, it wouldnt be COD.
Any game offering assisted aiming online doesn't deserve to be considered as an FPS imo. Hello, the game is mostly about aiming so what's the point if you're helped on that ?
But yeah, like you i feel Dust could feel a gap. Last gameplay vid had a huge MAG feeling, if CCP was to be influenced, there's no better choice. Founder of-á http:\\Dust514France.blogspot.com |

Sad that it's not being released on PC. Makes me wonder why not? Not sure to what degree DUST is tying in with EVE but the interaction between macro and micro scales in the same universe are interesting indeed. EVE is a long term game that has lived for nearly 9 years? Assume it will live for at least 9 more. What will have become of DUST by then? What will have happened with the PS3? Surely the PS4 must have been released by then? Would be sad to lose this interaction just because DUST wasn't released to the PC where it would've the chance to grow alongside EVE. |

Theyve said multiple times in interviews that when/if PS4 was released they would simply code a dust client for PS4 that links to the same servers and carry on as normal. |

Hey did You just call COD a HARDCORE fps? You are joking, right? It's a kiddie shooting game aimed at a MASS population. Definitively not a hardcore.
There is virtually no hardcore gamers on a consoles. Ppl that call themselves that, usually spend great deal of money, time and are passionate about gaming to a point they will learn their hardware and software so they can improve experience even by a little bit.

Some of you guys really make me chuckle at the elitism concerning PCs vs consoles. "I won't play it unless it's on the PC". Good stand. I guess that gives us people who don't have some really wacky ideas on FPSs and PCs a better chance to get a key. Thanks.
Personally, I played a FPS on PC once...it was an absolutely wretched experience, one that made me swear them off and has been a very easy vow to stick to. If Dust514 was on PC, I would have absolutely no interest in it. For me, a console controller is far more smooth than any keyboard/mouse combo, and there is no need to have a set-up that is overly complicated when it comes to an FPS. There is no need for more than 14-16 buttons anyways when it comes to FPSs. And if you are all about the graphics, then I can't help you. I don't buy games for graphics, I buy them for fun.
Although, I have to admit, Skyrim is absolutely gorgeous on my PS3... To stand before a man at an inquisition, knowing that he will rejoice when we die, knowing that he will commit us to the stake and its horrors without a moment's hesitation or remorse if we do not satisfy him, is not an experience much less cruel because our inquisitor does not whip us or rack us or shout at us. |

I signed up and when I log in I get a little icon above my character list in the mid-upper left that says ">>Dust 514 status: You have signed up!" but nothing else besides the ability to change the signup info.

Regarding that small debate about console players...
I m mainly playing on PS3 now. But i ve spent years on PC FPS, especially CS for more than 5 years hardcore style. And to me, nothing will ever replace my keyboard\mouse combo.
But, came a time where maintaining a PC strong enough to play recent games decently became too much time and money consuming.
And i know a lot of people in the same situation.
So, there's no real hardcore gamers as there are no hardcore games on console... Cod being the ultimate anti-hardcore type of game. Beside MAG, no console FPS made me feel something...
But, a game that would demand a lot more involvement will find its audience. Many people are waiting for a change.
So, stop being so judgemental Wait and see. Founder of-á www.dust514-france.fr

The only thing I did not want to see in this game is happening - seems like mouse/keyboard will be allowed for the game, not only as a means of chat or something similar.
Now, I understand and fully support that mouse/keyboard combo is the best way to go when an FPS is concerned - but not necessarily so on PS3. As Killzone has shown, a joypad experience can be very satisfying and skill-demanding - NOT that it can measure up to the m/k combo in terms of precision as mentioned before - yet it does bear its own satisfaction upon use.
The question is - why put the game on a console, where 99% of people don't use the m/k combo, cutting down the very reason why you came to the said console - in order to present your game to a new community tens of millions of people strong. Seems rather like shooting yourself in the leg to walk better.
Unless this has been vague enough to be misinterpreted. |

No, no misinterpretation at all here.
And, many eve fans are going to buy (or already did) a PS3 to play Dust. They'll have the possibility to use their classic KBM combo. In fact you already can play with a Mouse on most games using special controller you can find in retail (AIMON PS for example) But, most PS3 players wont care about it as they are use to the DS3 controller. And, the debate about KBM combo being overpowered vs console controller is obsolete. It depends how the game is programmed, and meant to be played.
Last but not least, if Dust has even a quarter of Eve's management tools, a KBM combo will be veeeeery nice to have.
So, me i see nothing but a will to offer as much possibilities as possible to all players. Thus, it s a good thing. Founder of-á www.dust514-france.fr

I'm so happy that the mouse and keyboard combo will be supported. Not only because you can use it during a match (which is great). But because I was dreading the possibility of navigating through a market with 1000s of items using a fricken controller I can post on a forum, therefore I represent everyone. |
