Its been a long time since a dev blog or any new information has been released. Beta is suppose to be soon and all information about it is pretty much non existent. Can a DEV please at least say when information will be released. The game was hyped up with the release of its website and amazing integration features, but the website has just about zero information except a facebook/twitter side bar and some chronicles.
So I forgot....what was Dust 514 again, I could have swore it was a banana.
Feel free to troll train this post to no tomorrow. Hopefully it will bring in a dev to answer the question.
Information about the new upcoming game please. One-two-three kthxbai. |

Would you mind linking your source for the "beta happening soon" information??
I too, am excited for beta, but threads like this usually don't carry much weight unless you can cite CCP's own statements in pursuit of holding them accountable.
Looking forward to Dust 514 though - it will shake up fighting in space more than most space expansions - by opening up new reasons to fight in front of those pretty planets we received in Dominion. Everyone seems to forget this when they troll about not needing another FPS or that its somehow to the detriment of "FiS"

dust is supposed to be an MMO FPS for the xbox that would allow console players to be hired by PC players to take over planets in a seamless battleground on a massive scale, with combat over the planets and on the ground players would be able to support each other.
what dust will be, is a "ok" PS3 shooter that will take to long to finish, and probably release shortly before the PS4 comes out. it won't sell very well simply because PS3 shooters don't sell much compared to 360 in an already flooded market. |

When I said a beta is coming soon I meant by the end of this year, which is only a few months.
http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2011/06/06/dust-514-announced-as-ps3-exclusive.aspx
The bottom message should be proof enough, if not google it. Its open knowledge that a beta is coming by the end of this year. So within 3 months, Id figured a little more info would be out by now.
If CCP creates an "ok" FPS after 4 years of development, ill puke out of my eyeballs. EVE progression has slacked a lot for WoD and Dust 514 so Id hope that those games will at least be good and then CCP can come back to EVE and give it some love. Although I could care less about WoD. WoD wont be for a very very long time.
But beta is within 3 months unless something goes wrong. Its suppose to be in beta for 6 months and then released. So my plan is to play the **** in beta until it comes out. |

This isn't anything new game for developers, how long did it take Blizzard to actually reveal any information about Diablo 3 despite being in development since 2001? Answer: seven years. |

CCP doesnt really mean for all EVE players to play this game, its to just bring in a new audience and a entirely new set of people into EVE. The only thing that concerns EVE players is the interaction and association between dust and EVE. CCP never said to stop playing EVE and go play dust. Think of dust as an expansion pack with new content. Only this content is run by people interaction and not just NPCs and crap.
Dust will bring a large amount of features and interaction and planetary battles to EVE. It will take a little time to make it right, and of course it wont be 100% perfect when its first released, but CCP will update dust and add more stuff to it, which in the end just ads more to EVE itself.
Yes I know the game could instantly flop and fail and be garbage. But if it does actually work out, it could be a an entirely new and fun addition to EVE. Seriously think about the possibilities and potential of integrating 2 games like this. |

The questions I'm dying to have answered at the specifics:
Will manufacturing of weapons/tanks/gear be similar to EvE with BP's?
Will they use the same materials, or is it going to be largely PI?
Will Dust players make the stuff as well? If so, does that mean they'll be doing PI/mining?
How will items be deliverable to Dust players? Customs offices?
Will Dreads be able to bombard in Low Sec, or is this a null-sec only feature?
How will matches be decided to ensure that opposing forces fight, instead of both "teams" being flooded with friends of the sov holders, to prevent tampering?
Will it be used as part of FW?
WHAT WILL AUR BUY? <-- it had better not be weapons/tanks/gear.... maybe paint jobs like in BFBC2, but not the weapons themselves, especially since the crap will drop on death like EvE.
We have a blog, it is terrible.

AUR will be used for vanity and non vanity items (Weapons, vehicles, customizations). You will be able to purchase weapons with AUR, but CCP made it clear that they are not going to let pay to win be an issue. I cant remember where I found it, or what CCP interview, but the items you can buy with AUR will either be around exactly the same as general items you can purchase with ISK and or a small change. Like maybe instead of an assault rifle with +5 damage and +5 accuracy, the AUR version would be +4 damange and +6 accuracy. But the AUR market should be just about the same.
BUT, as a bonus, everything you can purchase in the AUR market can bee freely traded and sold on the EVE and Dust market. Remember There will be 2 markets. The central EVE market which DUST will be able to use just like EVE players, and a special Dust market only for dust stuff, like buying your weapons, grenades and crap for battles. And if AUR items can be sold on the main market and traded, then pay to win sorta goes away.
Here is a quote from Joystiq games. This news is available on other places, but just to cite it and at least ease your pain that pay to win isn't going to happen.
""Additionally, the player-driven marketplace so popular in CCP's other big MMO, EVE Online, will also be made available to Dust 514 folks, giving gamers a chance to build up their virtual empires without the use of their hard-earned spondulicks. "Bought currency items and non-currency items can be freely exchanged between the players," creative director Atli Mar Sveinsson added. To CCP, the free flow of the two marketplaces will keep the user base from splitting into two separate factions. "It avoids the buy/win problem that some microtransaction-based games have.""

That can't be right. That's a really long time for an open beta. Unless you mean beta development. If it's a playable beta for that long and available on PSN, I daresay it would hurt sales even more, as people would get sick of it before it even came out. Most PSN beta's are only available for a very limited time. Sometimes only a week. |

A six month beta is indeed correct,

There are some other interviews that are more specific to saying "Six month playable beta" but im at work, so yeah. But its going to be (see underlined quote) for PSN Plus and eve subscribers first. So normal people and random players will maybe only get a month or two, not sure. But their reason for it is to make sure that on release the game is actually 100% and everyone is happy. And I cant say thats bad. If the game gets boring in 6 months of beta, then it was never meant to be. But it IS beta, so it cant be perfect to start. |

Dust can run like a normal game without eve by playing in Hi-sec areas and such. Nulsec and such will be all of the awesome EVE + Dust interaction. But Dust will be able to live by itself.
Hi-sec = random battles of people just put together to grind ISK and crap
nulsec = Contract created specialty fights
And everything in between. You get the idea. |

You do realize PS3 outshines the X-Box in many departments.. Battlefield 3 unfortunately will take away from DUST514 but that would be true for the X-Box or PS3. As far as DUST514 taking away from Battlefield 3. Not so much..

Oh so it's like a PC closed beta. That's p. cool. I don't have PSN plus because it's kind of pointless but great news for everyone subscribed to EVE. Can't wait. |
