Forgive me if I somehow missed the response to this, but is there confirmation whether or not D514 Beta supports Keyboard and Mouse? I'm going to assume the answer is no as I don't see any options for it under the Controls Menu Options.

Thanks,

Wait, so Dust is PS3 only? aww man, good way to make sure I'll never be able to play it ... not trying to be dramatic about it, I just literally don't have a ps3, nor will I be buying one. Here's to hoping you make a PC port someday :)

Thank you CCP for this opportunity to play Dust. ...

There are definetely age groups in EVE that did not grow up on Playstations and we might like playing Dust. However, I did have a son who enjoyed Duke Nukem! ( But he doesn't play EVE, and has no interest in Dust. He and his wife play WOW, 'till the wee hours of the night. You need to reach out at get that type of dedication.

...

-Jaz


Funny though, that there are EvE players who do NOTHING else but guarding the low / null gates ALL day and ALL night; having no life and being the last who go offline and the first who come online after DT, to be right back at their precioussss gate, before any unworthy scum can infect their noble space with their presence.
On the other Hand, there is the "faction" of players who are online all day, turning their ships and walking around in captains quarters, just to fly one nippy LVL4 and pose with the omfg navy raven in front of the mission hub.

Even more funny is it, that mostly exactly these players are moaning and making fun of WOW and other mmorpg's players in
certain known EvE chat channels;

And - Cap'n Overpwns out there - remember: You would be NOTHING without all the carebears and noobs, kiddies and missionrunners and miners, because they are the real backbone of the universe... ;)

Hi Dev!

I did all the instruction you mencioned but i have 1 issue.

When i redeemed my voucher code at the final step, i was told that i´ll have the redeemed code also sent to my email.
I didn´t took note of the redeemed code at the time because i wasn´t near by my ps3.

1. I didn´t receive a copy of the redeemed code to my email.
2. Now i can´t get it back via account mangement as it says that it is allready redeemed.

Question:
How can i get the redeemed code again so i can activate it on my ps3?.

Please, advise.

Thank you for your time.

I gave it a shot. Made me remember why I left FPS games. Either spawn camp or lose. Have fun with it

What does this mean exactly? You are going to let people play for a whole 4 days and then lock them out, or does this mean you are just stoping the invites on the 13th?

Downloading Dust 514 right now.
But am I right that the server is down (ends on 13th of August at 11:00 UTC)
If so, when will the server be back up online :)?

there is a problem that i spotted a month ago regarding psn even on getting the Closed Beta Key for Dust 514 by going up on the station through the stand at Playstation Home / quest room. when i finally unlocked the stand to go up on the 'Dust 514 station' after completing the sets of quests and watched the race films and lost a game of Slay i got the beta key anyways, even though it shouldnt have given me it. So technically its been free for people who have found out about this.

But Servers are down by now, right?
When will they reopen?
I can't find any new or info about when they start up?


Edit: Typo because of Dust play greed

Edit Edit: 61% Downloaded, please do not tell me I will not see any Dust today P

No PC support. F#$% script kiddies and cheaters. (not to be confused with hackers, script kiddies and cheaters aren't hackers)

I know it's still possible to "cheat" from a console platform, but it's not NEARLY as bad. Besides, the console will have keyboard and mouse support anyway and if you don't have a PS3 already, you shoulda bought one a long time ago IMO.

maybe if you release Dust 514 on the PC then those of us who don't want to expose our personal information to the gaping security holes of PSN, or want to buy another device, would be able to play!

For the love of freaking sanity CCP - have you done ANY market research? PSN exclusive = you're not going to make money off freaking Dust. OPEN IT UP TO THE FREAKING PC.


This ^

P.S. Just seen the trailer on youtube under the heading "Are you ready for an EVE FPS?".

So, all the people who have paid to play EVE, on their PCs!!!, and made EVE what it is today, have just been slapped in the face because this is only going out to PS3 only?
