Hello eve-o forums,
*rabble rabble rabble rabble*
Quiet down now please. Cat, we all known you're here. You can stop telling people you're here in the OP. It's kindof embarrassing.
OK! So there's this new game DUST. I'm sure you've read the other 2 million threads about it and posted about how much you hate it. And then posted about how much you hate CCP. And then someone like me read your posts and felt pity for someone who'd pay a subscription to a game that they hate that they feel is going to be ruined every day because there was an eclipse, or snow fell on the north pole, or santa isn't real or whatever. Then I'd remember that you're the kind of person that writes the best hate mail! So, I thank whatever logic you use to stay in eve because the target practise is nice to have around.
Anyhow, so I many of you hate it because it's a console game and you are FTL at consoles. Even that pimply 15 year old WoW addict can beat you every time you play halo. And god he's so annoying. I know... I really do.
So, let me explain why publications like Massively and Gamespot are so interested in DUST.
First of all CCP made eve. Here are some quotes to help you understand that.
"CCP projects the game will surpass 400,000 subscribers in two years, effectively doubling their current universe. So in the near future, they hope the population of their virtual world surpasses that of their native Iceland. And at some point in 2008, the number of player man-years spent inside EVE surpassed 250,000, which means more human effort has been spent in the construction of EVE's society than is estimated on the construction of the pyramids."
"Typical game companies won't discuss more than one expansion in the future, and build entire updates around new dungeons, races and classes. CCP plans to redo all the art in a nearly five year old game, fully integrate voice chat, launch a completely new avatar system, begin a democratically elected player advocacy council, launch the game on the Mac and Linux, reconfigure the game's base architecture and migrate it to a network of super computers and completely re-write two version's of the game's client to support new visuals and DirectX 10. This is just on the road map for the end of next year, it's all free and doesn't include actual gameplay improvements or any of their many side-projects, like a novel, EVE Web Wars, a trading card game and, of course, World of Darkness Online, a completely new AAA MMOG project."
Those quotes are over 2 years old so please take the last one with a grain of salt. Also keep in mind DUST was what they were working on NOT WoD. Of course it was being kept completely secret at the time. Also they've accomplished all of this except for releasing WiS.
If you find it hard to feel that eve is badass at this point, or that CCP doesn't do anything you should stop reading now and go troll another thread.
Continuing.... So now CCP is making DUST. A game that will be an "MMO FPS". Something I've only heard of in one other game... Planetside. And the people who played it loved it. There were no 15 year old halo/BF n00bs griefing maps and wandering from place to place blasting anything moving. Why? Because if they did they'd get pwned very quickly. Then they would emo rage quit. (This happens all the time on eve-o).
So now talking about DUST we can say with some amount of evidence that FPS MMOs can work well. And there is structure and organization (that's the point afterall). A point I thought was given, but some people can't seem to wrap their head around console players that aren't nublet morons.

Im personally thinking positive about the console thing, since i own a ps3.
However, the two points above are not hitting the nail on the head as for what the concerns of most people are.
Most people are angry because something on a whole other platform in a whole other game will influence their sov.
Thats why i hope they will release a pc version not long after the dust release.

Didn't really burn but very funny. Pulling off the cat impersonation gives you 5 points easy I got a little singed there. The simultaneous reference to full metal jacket and this topic's overuse deserves credit, but insinuating overuse of the topic is unoriginal. I give that part only 3 points.
A "THIS IS GAME" might have pushed you over the top!
You get 8/10.
That's the best score I've ever given. Good flame man. *-------------------------* PoX IS Eve!!! BOOM!!! |

also, for the amount effort put into this, HAVE A BIG GLASS OF PEPSI
also again, nice post, the only problem is the people who are constantly complaining about change, (then complaining about things that should be changed but havnt been, then complaining when they do get changed because they didnt like the change), will likely completely miss the point of what you are saying and carry on complaining moaning anyway...

eve IS dying, its because of DUST because they said it controls SOV, so all of gallente starter areas are belong to caldari.

There is no such statement.
The truth is: They have stated on the gamecom that WoD is still in development.

In the presentation Hilmar says CCP has been working on DUST for 3 years secretly. 2009-3=2006. The article those quotes are from was written in late 2006/early 2007.
It's obvious that speculation about WoD has been misinterpreted, CCP said in 2006 they were going to make WoD online. They didn't say they had started work on it. The author of the quoted article ASSUMED it was WoD because of the White Wolf merger. He had no way of knowing DUST even existed as a concept at the time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_of_darkness#WoD_MMORPG Recent speculation is that they've started production on WoD and might release in 4 to 5 years. This is somewhat realistic as they've proven they can keep a secret.
So there you have it. I'm sure with some digging you can get more. Remember what you asked for though CCP statements. I challenge you to find a CCP statement that proves me wrong. *-------------------------* PoX IS Eve!!! BOOM!!! |

Hi Lock here,
I didn't bother reading one bit of this dust thread as I'm quite positive somebody has asked what you have asked and stated what you have stated in the multitude of dust threads now. There are some massive Dust threads in OOPE where you may find what you are looking for as dust threads got moved there a while back so the denizens of GD didn't have to put up with them.

This one.
First of all it was released in July 2008. Did you read this "Document" it's stated multiple times that WoD is in "Pre-production".
A quote "The third product, World of Darkness, is currently in pre-production." It restates this several times.
Here's a good one to help you understand what pre-production means in "AGILE" game development.
So at the time of this document's conception the launch date of WoD was given as a preliminary goal. One that's not set in stone. It never indicated any actual work had been done on creating a decent game. Oh well. That doesn't say anything to me really.
or this one
I'll take the best quote from the article "It's development will take at least four years..." It was written in 2007. 2007+4=2011.
or this one
And again... another quote from your own article "Those financial documents from January stated the game would be launched in 2010 but as Blue's News points out, that's probably inaccurate. If the game were really that close to release, CCP would be releasing actual details about the game."
or how about this one for the winner.
Or more indirectly, the winter 2008 statement that they pulled all people of other projects (plural) and put them to work on EVE in order to ship Apocrypha in time for the boxed launch date.
Initial MMO design and prototyping can and is often done with only a small team. CCP employs about ~500 people currently. Initial EVE development was done with 21 persons. Granted, a lot of those 500 won't be designers/artists/programmers.
????
Originally by: Washell Olivaw Edit: The cherry on top: Keynote speech said dust was developed at CCP Shanghai, the one I linked for the winner says WoD is developed at CCP Atlanta.
I think we've misconstrued each other.
First of all, I'm not argueing that WoD wasn't being developed at all. I'm just saying it's possible the guy who wrote my quote in late 2006 was likely guessing. It was to prevent flames saying "THEY HAVEN'T WORKED ON WoD! bahhhh!".
Secondly, I'm not trying to say they're not developing WoD now or anytime in the past. Indeed I think you've proved that they're taking on at least three MAJOR development fronts, DUST, Eve, and WoD.
Finally, if anything, this proves that they're that much more badass because they were working on all of them at the same time.
I think you and I are agreeing more than we disagree. *-------------------------* PoX IS Eve!!! BOOM!!! |

Right... Cheated out of what exactly? You'll get your planetary interaction in eve, as promised. I guess it's like always though. It's not EXACTLY like you imagined so lets come whine about it. CCP didn't do this, BECAUSE OF FALCON!, my life is ruined, emo emo. I can't cope with a world of change omg.
No credence to the fact that it's literally some of the biggest news out of CEP. Or that the concept is more or less an entirely new innovation in gaming. I guess it's easy to forget that CCP has the largest persistent gaming world ever. Or that they've engineered a place that's breaking rl gaming records and preconceptions all the time. Apparently, eve at least meets enough of your expectations that you're worried about it being ruined. That's an accomplishment in itself. But it doesn't matter does it?
None of that factors in. What does though is that you don't have a console, but you desperately want to shoot something. Your perfect world where you leave your pod to go play star wars or earth and beyond or wow on a planet in eve is ruined.
crymore.
I think you and your mad friends should fly into lowsec and sit at planet one in evati in protest. Then when you're all popped and podded ragequit and be done with it.
Hey, maybe you can go make the game you were thinking about after leaving such a terrible game behind. And such a wretched game company like CCP who *gasp* denies you the ability to play another clone version of Battlefield 2 with an eve twist. Yeah the same CCP that won't put more lvl4 faction missions in high sec that overpay, and doesn't allow warp bubbles on lowsec gates. The same CCP who cheated you out of 0.0 because it was all napped up with bigger stronger alliances they "obviously" favor. The same people who added jump drives but you don't have enough skill points to use them. What a shame they exist. So absent of common sense. If you only had everything your way none of this would have happened. You could swoop down to a planet and blow everyone up with your missiles then parachute out and axe some guy with your halberd. Then use magic and sheep the next guy. Then get back in your spaceship and teleport to delve and mine your moon for buried pirate treasure!
I'm sure you could have done so much better than CCP. It's really too bad... really.
As for my ultimate personal feeling about DUST (which is inferior to the game you would have made) I think someone else said it best.

Look in a nicer, less sarcastic response. Just because a feature might be implemented in a way you didn't think of, doesn't mean it's going to negatively effect you or that it will "ruin" anything.
Tell most of the people you know to stop throwing temper tantrums and focus that energy on how to best use the feature when it comes out.
I promise you you'll be a richer, happier eve denizen if you follow that advice.
Also, you can't control how quickly a feature does come out unless you're a developer. If you have an interest in guiding that as a player, CCP has been kind enough to hold CSM elections. However broken you think they may be it's your best bet as a player to use that system as best you can. It's really all you've got and it's far more than other gaming companies typically give. *-------------------------* PoX IS Eve!!! BOOM!!! |

Point to where I said it was worthless. All I said was that I didn't read it because what he stated has most likely been said or done in one of the mega threads that were moved to OOPE. Further proof it seems that you have no clue what is going on. Sorry to burst your bubble like that as I'm sure you felt that post was a clever one, but keep your chin up young padawan, you may be witty yet.

I guess it's easy to forget that CCP has the largest persistent gaming world ever. Or that they've engineered a place that's breaking rl gaming records and preconceptions all the time. Apparently, eve at least meets enough of your expectations that you're worried about it being ruined. That's an accomplishment in itself. But it doesn't matter does it?
None of that factors in. What does though is that you don't have a console, but you desperately want to shoot something. Your perfect world where you leave your pod to go play star wars or earth and beyond or wow on a planet in eve is ruined.
crymore.
I think you and your mad friends should fly into lowsec and sit at planet one in evati in protest. Then when you're all popped and podded ragequit and be done with it.
Hey, maybe you can go make the game you were thinking about after leaving such a terrible game behind. And such a wretched game company like CCP who *gasp* denies you the ability to play another clone version of Battlefield 2 with an eve twist. Yeah the same CCP that won't put more lvl4 faction missions in high sec that overpay, and doesn't allow warp bubbles on lowsec gates. The same CCP who cheated you out of 0.0 because it was all napped up with bigger stronger alliances they "obviously" favor. The same people who added jump drives but you don't have enough skill points to use them. What a shame they exist. So absent of common sense. If you only had everything your way none of this would have happened. You could swoop down to a planet and blow everyone up with your missiles then parachute out and axe some guy with your halberd. Then use magic and sheep the next guy. Then get back in your spaceship and teleport to delve and mine your moon for buried pirate treasure!
I'm sure you could have done so much better than CCP. It's really too bad... really.
As for my ultimate personal feeling about DUST (which is inferior to the game you would have made) I think someone else said it best.

Contrary to you I do read things before posting. It might be possible to understand why you made your first post, no matter how flawed it might be, but to follow on with advice to read before posting (something you admit you deliberately did not do) appears to be something you could better explain in a thread of your own if you are really concerned about derailing rather than bumping your post count.

Is that cause alt-posting yourself in to or out of embarrassment? See I'm confused. You get w3rdpwned for sticking your keyboard in your mouth so you just start babbling nonsense? Are you a Cat O' Ninetails alt?
It's like you aimlessly wandered into a conversation at the work watering hole and then said something like, "Well I don't know what you were talking about, but I heard 'elephants' and I saw the on the news that elephants are stupid so I think we should change the topic."
How do you think people are going to react to that?
So someone says, "How can you say we should talk about something else when you don't know what we were talking about." and you respond, "Well because elephants are really dumb... You should try it out, I'm just trying to derail the conversation."
Does that paint a good picture for you? *-------------------------* PoX IS Eve!!! BOOM!!! |

I can't see how the op is any less based on a lot of speculations than any other dust thread so far. Which in turn would make the op a hypocrite.
I did like how he flamed the guy into the ground in post nr.26 though. Especially given how the flaming and ranting appears to be largely unrelated to what was actually put forth. It was a tad bit disproportionate but makes up in patronizing and presumptuous attitude.
The thing with overboarding sarcasm is that it makes you look butthurt eventually. I guess for the op this happened somewhere around page 1. --

Paragraph 1 Thanks. Ironic isnt' it.
Paragraph 2. A lot of jerkfaced antics went into that flame. Where's my score?
Paragraph 3. The correct term is waterboarding I think. At least that's the image that I had in my mind some of the time. And the butthurt happened previous to page one. It was really more of a few days ago when all the conspiracy theorists spelled doom for eve... (again.) because dust was unveiled. On a day when players should be happy to possibly experience and be part of a really interesting development for not just eve but gaming as a whole, they sit down and write out all the things they plan on failing in a letter to CCP.

Originally by: Attrezzo Pox Edited by: Attrezzo Pox on 26/08/2009 13:59:23 Hello eve-o forums,
*rabble rabble rabble rabble*
Quiet down now please. Cat, we all known you're here. You can stop telling people you're here in the OP. It's kindof embarrassing.
OK! So there's this new game DUST. I'm sure you've read the other 2 million threads about it and posted about how much you hate it. And then posted about how much you hate CCP. And then someone like me read your posts and felt pity for someone who'd pay a subscription to a game that they hate that they feel is going to be ruined every day because there was an eclipse, or snow fell on the north pole, or santa isn't real or whatever. Then I'd remember that you're the kind of person that writes the best hate mail! So, I thank whatever logic you use to stay in eve because the target practise is nice to have around.
Anyhow, so many of you hate it because it's a console game and you are FTL at consoles. Even that pimply 15 year old WoW addict can beat you every time you play halo. And god he's so annoying. I know... I really do.
So, let me explain why publications like Massively and Gamespot are so interested in DUST.
First of all CCP made eve. Here are some quotes to help you understand that.
"CCP projects the game will surpass 400,000 subscribers in two years, effectively doubling their current universe. So in the near future, they hope the population of their virtual world surpasses that of their native Iceland. And at some point in 2008, the number of player man-years spent inside EVE surpassed 250,000, which means more human effort has been spent in the construction of EVE's society than is estimated on the construction of the pyramids."
"Typical game companies won't discuss more than one expansion in the future, and build entire updates around new dungeons, races and classes. CCP plans to redo all the art in a nearly five year old game, fully integrate voice chat, launch a completely new avatar system, begin a democratically elected player advocacy council, launch the game on the Mac and Linux, reconfigure the game's base architecture and migrate it to a network of super computers and completely re-write two version's of the game's client to support new visuals and DirectX 10. This is just on the road map for the end of next year, it's all free and doesn't include actual gameplay improvements or any of their many side-projects, like a novel, EVE Web Wars, a trading card game and, of course, World of Darkness Online, a completely new AAA MMOG project."
Those quotes are over 2 years old so please take the last one with a grain of salt. Also keep in mind DUST was what they were working on NOT WoD. Of course it was being kept completely secret at the time. Also they've accomplished all of this except for releasing WiS.
If you find it hard to feel that eve is badass at this point, or that CCP doesn't do anything you should stop reading now and go troll another thread.
Continuing.... So now CCP is making DUST. A game that will be an "MMO FPS". Something I've only heard of in one other game... Planetside. And the people who played it loved it. There were no 15 year old halo/BF n00bs griefing maps and wandering from place to place blasting anything moving. Why? Because if they did they'd get pwned very quickly. Then they would emo rage quit. (This happens all the time on eve-o).
So now talking about DUST we can say with some amount of evidence that FPS MMOs can work well. And there is structure and organization (that's the point afterall). A point I thought was given, but some people can't seem to wrap their head around console players that aren't nublet morons.
For an Amarr, you're quite smart. Bingo, well said/'nuff said!

Originally by: Attrezzo Pox Edited by: Attrezzo Pox on 26/08/2009 14:05:36 Now add the Eve-DUST relationship. DUST players will be given a strong interest in accepting Alliance money to defend/attack planets. Alliances will need DUST players to take planets. Instead of buying a gun to "glass a planet" you buy an army and deploy them there. How much more control do you want? If you want to actually shoot stuff buy an Xbox or PS3 and join DUST. IMHO paying actual players to do the shooting is FAR better than paying some NPC game of chance, which may have been another option. Get over it, and be glad you can purchase humans to take planets. Otherwise eve really would start to suck.
The ridiculousness of the idea of "console gamers having complete control over sov" is so silly I can't respond with a good rebuttal. Other than to say, that's not what the man said. He said "alliances pay them to ..." he didn't say "alliances will have no say in ...". This is inferring that ultimately eve alliances will have very good control over where and when forces are deployed. Their borders won't be reshaped by some lone nublet in DUST who decides to wander over to Goon space and take a single planet.
This relationship shows that CCP wants eve and Dust to be around for a long, long time. The "bold" move everyone talks about is them putting all of their eggs in one "IP" basket. If one fails/declines the other will take a turn for the worse as well. That's where the real gamble is, not in gameplay but in real life popularity. However, I think it's a refreshing take instead of the typical EA mantra of making as much money as you can at release, then dropping the game forever. CCP doesn't want to do that with eve. And that's a nod to all of your hard work. Unless a rl catastrophe requires it you won't wake up one morning to find that eve is down and won't ever come back up again. Just cause some accountant at CCP thought they'd make more money developing a separate game.
Finally, Console only. What is so hard about that? Those of you that own consoles know that your console buddies complain about the controls compared to a keyboard and mouse, in FPS at least. This is CCP being badass again. They care about the experience that console gamers get. They want them to participate in eve too but they don't want them to complain about getting owned just because some other guy has a kb and mouse. You can't fly a space ship in a console but you can shoot things in a console FPS. So it's a nod to console gamers and the things they value. Not PC players. This is a good thing.
Personally, I think it's also good that it's console only so that it prevents a mass exodus from eve. CCP has eve on the computer, they've got much of the computer crowd. A game like Eve is BEST played on a computer. I don't see what's so bad about an FPS to give the console people a chance. It'll make eve an extremely diverse MMO. CCP wants a game that complements eve, not a competitor.
Consoles WERE un-updateable and extremely constricting in 1994. That was before the "internet", and if you played computer games at the time you'd know computers were largely the same way. If you don't own an XBox stop chatting like an expert on how un-updateable they are. For game developers, consoles are a dream. You know the specs on every machine in 100% of your target. Everyone has the same os and runs the same code and the same programs. Those specs don't change so there's no guessing. This is a tremendous relief in some ways. For instance, in computer FPS cheating is a big problem with autoaims and metagame hacks. That's the reason we have punkbuster but it doesn't work 100% of the time. Many times it just eats up resources. With a console, though it's still possible it's not nearly as widespread and certainly harder to pull off. One less thing to fiddle with really.
Home run again!

On Eve forums? Shoot first, be reasonable ... oh wait, something else to shoot at or try and flame, lets be reasonable later.
The forums are a metaphor for Eve gate camps. If Dust can reduce that, then go Dust.

I didn't bother reading one bit of this dust thread as I'm quite positive somebody has asked what you have asked and stated what you have stated in the multitude of dust threads now. There are some massive Dust threads in OOPE where you may find what you are looking for as dust threads got moved there a while back so the denizens of GD didn't have to put up with them.
... and now have relaxed that restriction now that the post patch forum fury is over.
Pro tip: Next time read before you comment. It makes you look a bit less like a tart.
Exactly; especially since the thread asked NO questions, but posited corroborated facts.

So you assume the people who don't like Dust514 will keep playing EVE?
Perhaps some will, but not me. My main just ran out ( I was sure that I paid for 3 months, but guess CCP messed that one up too :p ), and I will not resub untill I get more info on a PC version of Dust514 or other improvements on the current implementation ( for example WIS gets a release date and we can pwn the dusties from above ).
My alt will run out in a few weeks too.
So good luck with EVE, and no you can't have my stuff !

Personally, I think it's also good that it's console only so that it prevents a mass exodus from eve. CCP has eve on the computer, they've got much of the computer crowd. A game like Eve is BEST played on a computer. I don't see what's so bad about an FPS to give the console people a chance. It'll make eve an extremely diverse MMO. CCP wants a game that complements eve, not a competitor.
If they had integrated the whole Dust514 game into EVE, there would have been no reason to leave, only to join. And I am sure many would have joined.
They could have used WIS as a bridge between Dust514 and EVE ( they still can ), and allow the console players only to play Dust514 and WIS, while allowing EVE players to play everything.
Lastly cheating in FPS is overrated. And cheating in Panetside was not a problem at all.

OK! So there's this new game DUST. I'm sure you've read the other 2 million threads about it and posted about how much you hate it. And then posted about how much you hate CCP. And then someone like me read your posts and felt pity for someone who'd pay a subscription to a game that they hate that they feel is going to be ruined every day because there was an eclipse, or snow fell on the north pole, or santa isn't real or whatever. Then I'd remember that you're the kind of person that writes the best hate mail! So, I thank whatever logic you use to stay in eve because the target practise is nice to have around.
So you assume the people who don't like Dust514 will keep playing EVE?
Perhaps some will, but not me. My main just ran out ( I was sure that I paid for 3 months, but guess CCP messed that one up too :p ), and I will not resub untill I get more info on a PC version of Dust514 or other improvements on the current implementation ( for example WIS gets a release date and we can pwn the dusties from above ).
My alt will run out in a few weeks too.
So good luck with EVE, and no you can't have my stuff !

Edited by: Beani Kliadi on 26/08/2009 23:53:26 Good thread, but out of speculation.
Ambulation is ment to come out at some point, and since Dust is FPS it might tie in with EVE-Online in the Ambulation Project.
Also on another note of speculation; If alliances are paying all these 'military contractors' loads of isk where would they spend it? Ambulation and weaponry anyone?
Thanks, Beani

IF CCP was EA I'm sure they'd cross platform the crap out of eve IP and as soon as the overhead seemed too much for an accountant to calculate on two hands they'd drop the entire game and **** all with your time and effort.
As it is, CCP is expanding their market in a way that benefits the market they're building their game for. Eve and DUST are two different games. I couldn't agree more that some haphazard merge between the two would be disrespectful to the players of eve and players of DUST. But I disagree that the way to avoid that is to try to forge them into some unholy mutant game. It's silly and complicates the entire experience for users of both games.
There will not be a PC version unless the console version fails miserably or CCP is given some proof that it will fail miserably. Get over it. *-------------------------* PoX IS Eve!!! BOOM!!! |

Seriously if you believed what you posted about this kind of thread bothering the GD forum then make the request to have it moved.
Thing is you don't really. From your first halfhearted and ineffectual post you have gone out of your way to reply in ways designed to accomplish little except drive your own post count up.
By your own admission you haven't read the OP. Prevented by your own willful ignorance from discussing the OP you fill your posts with snide comments about people and beg for more opportunities to do so.
What you do is without value to anyone except yourself and perhaps if we are lucky the mods will purge all of your posts and all of mine. I shall certainly support such a move.
Until then I am sure we shall hear more of your advice via your "Pro tips" and you can give reading and understanding what I say one more go:

Edited by: Taguchi Hiroko on 27/08/2009 01:01:09 CCP thinks making a EvE based Planetside is going to fix the sov mechanics problem (that POS shooting is boring and almost everyone in 0.0 is basically blue to one another), it won't. It's about as relevant as giving a man suffering from flu a pair of new shoes that's going to make him feel better.
It will bring in some cash for a couple of years and die quicker than Planetside. FPS is an old game concept and one of the most competitive gendre out in the market. To think that this will reinvograte something as original as EvE Online, well, perhaps CCP was not intending to do that anyways. Making as much cash outta the dying cash cow while it lasts is probabily the better approach.
Hate to be the nay sayer, but that was my initial reaction to the DUST announcment.

In the presentation Hilmar says CCP has been working on DUST for 3 years secretly.
Which sucks, because they have been promising planetary interaction for EVE, and even showed demos of it. All the while working in secret on a console game. So we get cheated out of more content that was promised to us. That is why most of the people I know are ****ed.
Right... Cheated out of what exactly? You'll get your planetary interaction in eve, as promised. I guess it's like always though. It's not EXACTLY like you imagined so lets come whine about it. CCP didn't do this, BECAUSE OF FALCON!, my life is ruined, emo emo. I can't cope with a world of change omg.
No credence to the fact that it's literally some of the biggest news out of CEP. Or that the concept is more or less an entirely new innovation in gaming. I guess it's easy to forget that CCP has the largest persistent gaming world ever. Or that they've engineered a place that's breaking rl gaming records and preconceptions all the time. Apparently, eve at least meets enough of your expectations that you're worried about it being ruined. That's an accomplishment in itself. But it doesn't matter does it?
None of that factors in. What does though is that you don't have a console, but you desperately want to shoot something. Your perfect world where you leave your pod to go play star wars or earth and beyond or wow on a planet in eve is ruined.
crymore.
I think you and your mad friends should fly into lowsec and sit at planet one in evati in protest. Then when you're all popped and podded ragequit and be done with it.
Hey, maybe you can go make the game you were thinking about after leaving such a terrible game behind. And such a wretched game company like CCP who *gasp* denies you the ability to play another clone version of Battlefield 2 with an eve twist. Yeah the same CCP that won't put more lvl4 faction missions in high sec that overpay, and doesn't allow warp bubbles on lowsec gates. The same CCP who cheated you out of 0.0 because it was all napped up with bigger stronger alliances they "obviously" favor. The same people who added jump drives but you don't have enough skill points to use them. What a shame they exist. So absent of common sense. If you only had everything your way none of this would have happened. You could swoop down to a planet and blow everyone up with your missiles then parachute out and axe some guy with your halberd. Then use magic and sheep the next guy. Then get back in your spaceship and teleport to delve and mine your moon for buried pirate treasure!
I'm sure you could have done so much better than CCP. It's really too bad... really.
As for my ultimate personal feeling about DUST (which is inferior to the game you would have made) I think someone else said it best.

I sincerely doubt you have ever hated to be the nay sayer. And for a dying game (it's been dying about 10 years now) Eve is certainly looking pretty lively. meh. CCP isn't planning to re-invigorate anything, they're simply following the plan they've had for ten years. (the 10 year plan you keep hearing about.) It's changed in some details, but for the most part this is what they planned to do since the beginning. At some point DUST and WiS have been in the works since Eve's original development, they weren't called that, they also weren't going to be implemented the way they will now, but they were knocking around in dev's heads anyway. The nap fest, and the POS sov whines are old news for CCP. You and I both know they don't need to create an entirely new game to "solve sov" they were doing that years ago anyway. But why fix something you're going to completely change in a matter of months anyway? I honestly think this is why sov has been avoided. It was best to wait and see how DUST and eve are going to properly mesh, then balance based on that knowledge. It's the same thing with WiS. In my opinion they want to have a place were we can interact with the console players, we may not be able to walk up and shake their avatar's hand at first but I believe it would only make sense to eventually enable that.
The halo series is a good example of how wrong you are about consoles, so is super smash brothers brawl, or the zelda series. Phantasy star online was very popular for a number of years. There are more than a handful of games and series that have been played and replayed on consoles for years. One might, however, argue that computer games ARE limited. Because computers evolve the old games don't work on new hardware so there's a physical limitation that's impossible to overcome. Not so with consoles. Off the top of my head I can think of a number of people who not only own current gen consoles but ataris, nintendos, or emulators and play old games on them. I'm not saying DUST will be like that, but the console market is only limited by the attention span of the accountants marketing the game. MMOs are not only a different beast, but CCP doesn't seem to have accountants that think that way.
FPS IS a very competitive genre, it's also a very lucrative one for the adult crowd. DUST is not a typical console FPS. It's an FPS, RTS, and MMO with persistent player-driven gameplay. Not only that but it'll be the first game EVER to put players of two completely different games and platforms in the same persistent universe. So the DUST market is looking pretty lean, because there's literally no one else in it.
And apparently CCP isn't the only gaming company to try an MMO on console. Here's a short list for the coming year: or here * Age of Conan * DC Online * Huxley * The Agency * Champions Online * APB * Free Realms * MAG
I guess that only makes them as stupid as any of the other mmos coming out on console.  *-------------------------* PoX IS Eve!!! BOOM!!! |

That's where the real gamble is, not in gameplay but in real life popularity.
Actually, gameplay will be largely affected since if Dust fails, the EVE economy will suffer greatly since the two economies will be dependent on each other. Not just the buying and selling of mercenary services but of actual items and resources.

Consoles WERE un-updateable and extremely constricting in 1994. That was before the "internet", and if you played computer games at the time you'd know computers were largely the same way.
It was not lack of Internet that necessarily made consoles un-updateable, it was also no Hard Drive. Albeit, consoles didn't get HDD's much later than they got internet, even the XBox had to sell over-priced proprietary HDD's and they only recently had tried to make a concerted effort to get their users on the same page with the HDD program they did. At least the PS3 came with one and for cheap since I can throw any notebook HDD in there and increase my storage space exponentially.

You can't fly a space ship in a console but you can shoot things in a console FPS. So it's a nod to console gamers and the things they value.
Nonetheless, people who are actually GOOD at playing video games prefer PC shooters over FPS because they are just plain better. I had to go buy CoD4 for PC because I couldn't stand it on the PS3. On top of that, it had to have an auto-aim feature. You don't get that on PC. There's way more skill involved.

Maybe, but that is a remote maybe. The infrastructure (and affordability of that infrastructure) in the world (and mostly the US) currently doesn't even come close to making this a widespread, profitable option in any of the foreseeable, near futures.

It is sad that you think Wulfnors 5 year old mimicking covered your foot in mouth statement but to each his own I guess.

My personal opinion is that limiting the game to console users only is basically pointless and only going to annoy people. It's not like it means they wont have to fight people using a kb and mouse because you could just plug a kb and mouse in to your console. I don't see it makes all that much more work for them seeing as you have to make the game on a PC anyway and the company has a lot of experience in PC games already. The bad sides of the decision to go console only are obvious, it limits the market available to buy the game for one. The other bad side is that a lot of CCPs current customers may wish to play this game and don't want to have to spend loads of money on a console to do it.
Basically, it wont be hard to make it work on PC and it will increase the market and avoid angering a load of the current customers. I really, really hope they reconsider. Even with a kb and mouse I don't want to waste money on a console when every other game I've ever wanted to play has had a PC version. My EVE sub will also get cancelled as the only reason I've kept paying it for the last year or so is because I was expecting something like this to get added directly in to EVE for PC users.

Originally by: Ranger 1 Wulfnor, I rather think that is possibly the best trolling of the troll I have ever seen, well done indeed. 
Lock, as Wulfnor pointed out repeatedly, he was commenting on the absurdity of your post in general. It mattered not a wit who it was in response to. In your over the top efforts to look witty, you skillfully succeeded in making yourself look even more dim with each obtuse post.
If your original goal was to make yourself appear as a clueless twit who enjoys interjecting their uninformed opinion and (somewhat lame attempt at) humor into this thread, you have succeeded. However I suspect your goal was actually to be a condescending jerk to the OP and anyone else who thought the thread had merit. I do have to give you credit, you succeeded on that score as well.
I think its a little bit past time for you to run along and stop trying to derail this thread.
Well I thought you understood it but I was wrong again. No I wasn't being a condescending jerk to the OP, I was being a condescending jerk to you. But as my daddy always told me you can't argue with stupid, it'll drag you to its level and beat you with experience as you and Wulfnor have done here.

Actually, you were being a "condescending jerk" to the OP before I even posted. Nice selective memory there. Your comments directed towards me are amusing but little more, I have small children at home so I am used to that level of commentary. 
You've gotta love the ones that don't understand the point someone is making (in this case Wulfnor) and procede to make themselves look foolish with their commentary. Its kind of like being the only person in the room that doesn't get the joke, and very quickly becomes the joke.
A far as having my foot in my mouth, heh. I pointed out that there appeared to no longer be a need to repost this thread elsewhere, and I explained why. I then pointed out that your post was fairly pointless. So far, all I see is agreement on both points. So again, it's past time for you to run along.

Provided the game will support kb and mouse. Just becasue you can plug it in doesn't mean it will work. You are right though that making it for PC would be easy. If you make a game for the XBox, porting it to PC isn't an issue.

OP, best post I have read in a long long while.
/me tips his hat.
I would like to add my two cents thou.
CCP has stated that DUST will allow you to control sovreignty but not to what extent.
I would caution everybody into not thinking that "the console players" will be able to shape "the pc players" universe to that degree.
Interaction, yes. Complete control ... well, I think not ... at least I hope not. I do not think that you will be able to control NPC sovreignty planets or space out of the blue.
And last but not least ... CCP has thrown so many features at us and we whined the crap out of them initially but in the end we use them all ( almost ). So once this whinestorm is ending ( not the OP one, but everything else ) and CCP is giving out details ( not facts ) I think that we will have a better, bigger and certainly more interesting universe.
Give CCP credit ... bad moves are not what they are used to do. They taunt us ... they check our reaction, they smile, they adjust ... the make us happy the end of the day.

Personally, I think it's also good that it's console only so that it prevents a mass exodus from eve. CCP has eve on the computer, they've got much of the computer crowd. A game like Eve is BEST played on a computer. I don't see what's so bad about an FPS to give the console people a chance. It'll make eve an extremely diverse MMO. CCP wants a game that complements eve, not a competitor.
If they had integrated the whole Dust514 game into EVE, there would have been no reason to leave, only to join. And I am sure many would have joined.
They could have used WIS as a bridge between Dust514 and EVE ( they still can ), and allow the console players only to play Dust514 and WIS, while allowing EVE players to play everything.
Lastly cheating in FPS is overrated. And cheating in Panetside was not a problem at all.
This assumes that Eve players would have played that aspect had been so integrated. If players are not FPS inclined, there would be no incentive for them to suddenly start then. The largest FPS market, to date, is on the console platforms (unless we know something which the vast number of FPS devs. do not?-search FPS, and you'll see this fact reflected in the platforms to be serviced).
As for bridging FVE and DUST via WIS, the process (the completion of the overall "vision" of the game) is not completed. We may even see ground combat in stations.
I also do not see why folks are so worked up about DUST events having an influence on EVE events. I think people would complain about this even if ground combat was incorporated directly into EVE. Pilot centric players would be whining about EVE infantry influencing their (pilots') sector conquests. It's also less immersive to think of pilots flying ships one minute, then jumping out of their ships to pwn somebody ground lvl-or thinking they can do on ground what they can do in ships ("Fleet does the flying, infantry does the dying").
There is nothing overated about any form of cheating. It is easier for CCP to check that sort of thing via the console platforms then thru the PC equivalent.

Edited by: Malios45 on 27/08/2009 20:20:17 Excellent positive post, but I did want to provide more information. I'm not sure if this was mentioned bu in the 2008 Fanfest Video World Domination they display a graph that provides information concerning five projects CCP is working on and compares the amount of work being put into them. The two highest, EVE and WoD being near equal with a third unnamed project (assumed DUST) a little more then half their size. Its at around 10:53
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRbxQqIskSE
Also if you watch the whole video through you'll see Nathan present a little teaser for DUST when he's going over EVE's future plans.

At least the PS3 came with one and for cheap since I can throw any notebook HDD in there and increase my storage space exponentially.
I don't really care why they didn't update. The fact is they do now so it's not a major issue.

On top of that, it had to have an auto-aim feature. You don't get that on PC. There's way more skill involved.
So DUST only needs pro gamers? Get a grip, not everyone wants to or cares about getting a beefed up pc to play games on. Many people are tired of the hastles of spyware and viruses, and other pc only issues. For those people, (and there's lots of them) a console is a better option because they're more familiar with it. Every game can become a matter of oog skill, even with auto-aim. How meta-gamed the gameplay skill levels are is entirely up to the developer. In my opinion it's a moot point. A mixed solution is a bad one for console players and a mediocre one at best for pc players. That's the bottom line.

Near future being 3-5 years maybe. But this is how things will end up. It's affordability is it's most ATTRACTIVE asset. Anyone with a cheap piece of solid state hardware can play any game the system is designed for with a pretty basic internet connection. That's about as cheap as it gets. It's by far the most affordable way to offer gaming content imaginable! Even developers like the idea because it's a single platform solution. And it SCALES instantly because all the hard work is done at a server farm. No hardware to buy, no software issues, just content streamed to your house while you pay a monthly fee or microfees to play. It's only barrier at this point is proving it's technical viability and getting developers to adopt it. *-------------------------* PoX IS Eve!!! BOOM!!! |

Both good points. However choosing to avoid the PC market also side-steps other issues. Namely, having to develop for mid-ranged capability ie different hardware issues, having to deal with the windows xp/vista/7 platform changes and the dx9/10 crap that implies, dealing with a mass exodus from eve to dust, or in the case of mixing platforms, having to develop for a great variety of hardware and controller types.
DUST being only on consoles will be developed knowing that every single one of the players will have access to the same hardware capabilities, controllers, and software. Greatly reducing the amount of fortune telling that has to be done to debug a final product. They may yet release on a pc platform, as I have stated. But I think initially they're going to properly court the console market and not two time their new market by also trying to please pc players. They're making a game they want console gamers to love. And that means developing it for console gamers. *-------------------------* PoX IS Eve!!! BOOM!!! |

There's an excellent post also in GD about all the specifics verifiable about DUST. That will shed quite a bit of light on it for you. Namely, and obviously, is no sov will not be solely determined by owning planets. Also there is a rumor that planetary sov will be given to eve before DUST is released as a way to get us used to it. There's much more where that came from though. Including the RTS aspects, commanding Marine armies from space and funding/equiping your men. *-------------------------* PoX IS Eve!!! BOOM!!! |

Maybe people need to read what you've posted, eat some ice cream, then, come back and read it again. I know folks have a problem w/ change, but, EVE itself was spawned from change (if nothing more than a change in thought concerning gaming).
Are people understanding the control EVE Corps.' will have/play in this far reaching aspect of EVE military engagements, the options being afforded them in determining sov., etc.? Almost like Command & Conquer, only via real players from a completely different platform. You Corps. will control PS3, 360, et al console engagements through your "wallets (ISK)." CCP is giving you mad props as the ones responsible for EVE's success while also satisfying the desire to integrate another platform structure into the experience (and placing that market's experience at your feet-the hidden movers/financiers)! Yet, you see it not.

And folks complain about getting a USD $400 console). For that PC price, I could wait until the price drops for ea. console generation and purchase 4 consoles (PS3 dropped from USD $800 to $400, as is typical)

I have a million questions about Dust as I expect everyone probably does. Here are a few.
How will Dust integrate with the Eve Economy?
Will there be new blueprints we can build for the Dusters?
We can hire Dusters to fight for us planet side; will they hire us to transport them to new planets when they need to relocate?
Will we be able to mingle with Dusters in Stations?
Will there be a process for moving characters to the Dust Game or back to Eve online?
Will Dust have skill based progressive training like eve has?
Will we someday be able to play Dust using a keyboard instead of a kiddie controller?
I have been waiting for something like this for a while though I never envisioned a console only game... it's nice to see ccp can still innovate. Cheers for a great idea! I will remain enthusiastic while I pray for a pc version to someday come about.

Haven't had a dayÆs trouble the pc but if I had I'm pretty sure in more cases than not I could fix it myself.

Lock, as Wulfnor pointed out repeatedly, he was commenting on the absurdity of your post in general. It mattered not a wit who it was in response to. In your over the top efforts to look witty, you skillfully succeeded in making yourself look even more dim with each obtuse post.
If your original goal was to make yourself appear as a clueless twit who enjoys interjecting their uninformed opinion and (somewhat lame attempt at) humor into this thread, you have succeeded. However I suspect your goal was actually to be a condescending jerk to the OP and anyone else who thought the thread had merit. I do have to give you credit, you succeeded on that score as well.
I think its a little bit past time for you to run along and stop trying to derail this thread.
Well I thought you understood it but I was wrong again. No I wasn't being a condescending jerk to the OP, I was being a condescending jerk to you. But as my daddy always told me you can't argue with stupid, it'll drag you to its level and beat you with experience as you and Wulfnor have done here. It is sad that you think Wulfnors 5 year old mimicking covered your foot in mouth statement but to each his own I guess.
So when you said you were moving on did you mean intellectually or from this thread? It doesnt really seem you have done either. Now that that you have returned we can begin again.

I think he meant you specifically but that's just my guess. As for the thread I couldn't care either way. On one hand I can see it from the companies standpoint on wanting to make more revenue and the best way to create more revenue is to expand your customer base. I personally won't be buying a 360 or an Xbox but then again I'm not a huge FPS fan with the exception of a little TF2 every now and then. I'm also not into the sovereignty thing but again thats just me. Personally I doubt it'll effect Sov as much as people think. On the other hand there are those who want to play every aspect of a game they love so I'm sure that plenty of EVE players will go out and buy a console granted they don't have one already. But who knows, maybe this could be a good thing and start breaking up a static 0.0. It may even encourage smaller groups to actually go into 0.0 and bring new action to it.

I'm happy to state for the record, my opinion on Dust and it's interaction with Eve:
"There is absolutely no way that any activities occuring on a Dust server will ever have any impact on the SOV level of an Eve solar system that is claimed by players"
Forget what you think you heard Hillmar say, he's just trying to make it sound cool, like there will be real interaction between the two universes.
But there won't be. There's no way they would ever design it so you can't get SOV if you don't play Dust, that's just stupid, they aren't going to break the existing game.
And forget this idea that an Eve corporation or alliances is going to be able to hire a team in Dust to achieve some strategic goal. That's just hand-waving magicland talk that gets used during announcements but somehow disappears before release.
The two games will share a lot of back story. They will share a marketplace and you will be able to contract money and equipment from eve to dust or back again. You *might* be able to use the same avatar, although that doesn't really fit the prime fiction very well. You *might* be able to accept courier contracts from Dust players to move their **** to other planets.
But that's all. There will be NO real-time combat interaction, and there absolutely definitely will not be anything in Dust that can affect sov in Eve.

those bastards :( so instead of the ambulation expansion they promised we're now getting a first person shooter on planets *facepalm* the real life isk is strong with CCP ...

Excellent post. I am following all news on Dust with great interest. I hope it will become just as awesome as I imagine it could be.

I will be reading from the book of DUST page 1662224 paragraph 110.
And so it was, the thread had accrued a moderate amount of success. And lo, CCP decided it had done it's work, and doing it's work was fit to be cast out. And then it was cast, into the place where no post bumped is a post read. And though there was much gnashing of teeth and whining, CCP cared not. For that is how it was on the forums. Many men who were not 12 years old but did act as they were. Those would complain and bear their teeth and shout "It is unrighteous, it is unholy". But no one could understand them. They did not make sense. So they were ignored as all jerkface n00bs should be.
There ends the lesson. Let us turn to page 514 in our hymnals and sing 'Here Cometh the Mighty Warriors of Cloneing'. *-------------------------* PoX IS Eve!!! BOOM!!! |

Originally by: THE L0CK Hi Lock here,
I didn't bother reading one bit of this dust thread as I'm quite positive somebody has asked what you have asked and stated what you have stated in the multitude of dust threads now. There are some massive Dust threads in OOPE where you may find what you are looking for as dust threads got moved there a while back so the denizens of GD didn't have to put up with them.
... and now have relaxed that restriction now that the post patch forum fury is over.
Pro tip: Next time read before you comment. It makes you look a bit less like a tart.

Well look at where we are. You were saying?

You may also be able to take a sample from WAR. When one side tries to lock down a zone there are several factors that play into it.
Open RVR contributes to the majority of it, actually taking and holding points. This could be viewed as the alliances actually holding the space. Nothing moves the territory control more than ORVR.
Scenarios are then the next factor although it contributes far less than ORVR. Usually once all points have been taken then X number of scenarios for that territory have to be won to further lock the zone.
And the last factor is PvE or Public quests. They play a very tiny role in capturing points but actually completing a PQ does add to the overall capture of a zone. Usually battlegroups will run these while waiting for scenarios if all keeps and BO's in ORVR are captured.
So Dust could probably be seen as one of the second 2. They may influence an area just enough but they could never hope to be the majority.

It's obvious that speculation about WoD has been misinterpreted, CCP said in 2006 they were going to make WoD online. They didn't say they had started work on it. The author of the quoted article ASSUMED it was WoD because of the White Wolf merger. He had no way of knowing DUST even existed as a concept at the time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_of_darkness#WoD_MMORPG Recent speculation is that they've started production on WoD and might release in 4 to 5 years. This is somewhat realistic as they've proven they can keep a secret. It's possible they've been developing since the merger but we have no way of knowing that until something is said otherwise. In truth they could have been developing both WoD and DUST at the time. At this point we only know that they were developing DUST for sure. Any information on WoD is purely speculative.
So there you have it. I'm sure with some digging you can get more. Remember what you asked for though CCP statements. I challenge you to find a CCP statement that proves me wrong.
wow that's alot of assumptions, we know WoD is in development because in the fanfest presentation "Worl Domination" which you can download in the videos section they sha a chart of what they were working on. 1st was a large bar with the EVE online symbol, Second was a bar 1/2 the size of the 1st with no label (which I assume to be DUST), third was a bar about the same size as the first with the WoD label. then 2 other unamed ones which I am now very curious about. I don't car about WoD and won't play it but to say it is not in development is incorrect.
