I don't remember seeing this on the forums yet.
Hans Jagerblitzen (former CSM guy and current CPM (Dusts version of CSM)) Has an update on what they have been up to
Quote:its readily apparent now to the CPM that CCP is doubling down on Dust 514's success, investing more resources into bringing staff on board, focusing their direction, and iterating on the processes that have brought the game this far.
Quote:The growth taking place doesn't just extend to the many job postings that are up as part of push to grow the studio GÇô there are personnel coming over from Reykjavik as well. Most notable of these staff moves is the the man that will now be overseeing Dust 514's game design GÇô Craig Scott, also known as CCP Flying Scotsman.
So it looks like Eve is slipping down the pecking order again. When Hillmars pet project is in trouble the solution is to pull Devs off Eve and hand them over.

The faster Dust dies the better. Just imagine what Eve would be like today if all those millions of pounds and Dev hours had been invested into Eve |

uh... from the quotes you had, it doesn't sound like the 'pet project' is in trouble. it sounds like it's doing great and they want to capitalize on that success? |

Wasn't CCP Flying Scotsman the infamous employee that stated during one of the Alliance Tournaments that "buying" a special Scorpion ship without trading in a regular version acceptable until CCP figures out the exchange, even if it messed up the mineral market...? |

I have no idea how much money CCP are making from the game, but its easy enough to see how many people are playing
http://eve-offline.net/?server=dust
It peaked out at about 8000 concurrent players and dropped as low as 4000 with a small increase recently. these are small numbers for a free to play game.
Reviews have been pretty terrible so far. Most of the positive ones talk more about potential than what the game is today. Its possible the game could be OK one day, it just sucks seeing Eve funds sucked out even more to prop Dust up until/if it becomes profitable. |

I've been pretty bearish on Dust since its release and I see no reason to change that opinion. I understand that CCP will give it some time, but I doubt they'll ever recover the money they spent on it.
I hope they haven't sunk so much money into it that they'll have trouble re: Eve's development. |

A CCP dev that's already working on DUST is moving from Reykjavik to Shanghai, the location where CCP's DUST dev staff is...DUST is obviously dying!

If you look at the past month server population on DUST, you can notice the gradual decline. Which is predictable, people trying it out after it was released, not finding it to their liking, and not playing any longer. What you will eventually have left are the people who actually like DUST. *removed inappropriate signature* - CCP Eterne |

Depends on how many devs are being moved over I suppose. One dev really isn't the end of the world, but if they moving any significant number of them over, I personally wouldn't be very pleased.
As for the state of Dust... it has seen some pretty damning reviews, mostly because of general FPS stuff like aiming and movement sensitivity, and vehicle physics. I hope it succeeds, I really do. But I am not particularly optimistic. "In the age of information, ignorance is a choice." |

My guess would be that we see WoD killed off before we see too much of a hit on Eve development. If the company is in a lot of trouble you tend to double down on your profit making areas.
Dust was born out of the arrogant years pre Summer of Rage. I understand why CCP would try to get a little momentum behind Dust but lets hope they don't throw away too much money.
With the PS4, New Battlefield and Planetside coming this year Dusts window of opportunity is limited. I'm not hearing many people a PS3 version of Dust stands much of a chance against The big guns on their way.
Some people say that Eve started slow and built. Eve was in a market with no competition. Dust is going against the biggest slickest companies in the market. |

We've had pretty thin releases since Incarna, and DUST (which I play fairly frequently b/c EvE) is suffering from a number of serious and systemic problems (not the least of which is the lack of a "fun" factor), so this wouldn't surprise me.

Wow! No one has ever suggested that before who has also never bothered to log into the game to create an avatar.

I think CCP should start making basketball shoes after DUST starts breaking records, along with clothing and accessories for urban youths. They can pick up where Tommy Hilfiger left off.
But NO WiS! That's crazy, remember the statue? |

I don't have the playstation 2 platform but "convergence" is coming.
I hope a viable linux box with a non proprietary operating system jumps in . I bought my first Tivo in 2000, the year that it came out. Tivo operates on a linux computer basically but they've made almost no progress with their UI
In 2000 the Tivo UI was slick and quicker than hell (felt like that to me) ... I still vastly prefer its simlicity. I never need to know what channel a show comes on or the time.. I rarely have for 13 years.
Tivo is propietary though.
I'm sure there are boxes out there .. like infinity TV (anyone try it? ) but i'm a not tech person and I've got mental procrastination barriers to jumping in on it.
Could DUST be put on a linux alternative that fit a game processor car separate from the main video card ? A box that functioned as a cable card tuner and a straight out computer monitor and DVR ?
Anyway think I'll be able to play dust soon(2 years is soon in my 48 year old book) on my TV with neither a playstation or and xbox?
* Microsoft seems to be abandoning the concept of the PC rather than enabling the PC as an open operating system that works easily as a dvr (their windows media player was certainly on that order but without an approved cable card box built in. |

I think it was a terrible business decision to launch a brand new game on a platform the year a new system is coming out. Why invest in an already extremely dated system. |
