Welcome!
Also, I simply must be the first to say... SPOCK! Big smile

Editing to add: My forum signature... it's stuck to me like glue. Please disregard, as CCP Cmdr Wang has now picked up the torch as DUST 514 Community Manager.

So ehm.., what will you be doing now, dear Shadow?

Lets face it console gamers don't stick to games like PC gamers do they are always just using the newest one to come out, look at all the MW/BF games as an example, and we all know that FPS games are made for a keyboard and mouse its an unwritten law of the universe :)


part of that though is because besides some map packs and bug fixes, most shooters dont actually get updated. so in order to player the latest version of cod the players have to drop another $60 to buy it. there has never been a game like dust. tf2 is the only shooter i can think of that is updated on a regular basis (well, valves version of regular anyway) besides cod and bf getting map packs and bug fixes.

also, lets face it, eve was in a similar position when it first came out, there was onyl a very small customer base. it has grown over time.

You need to inject the Wang skill before you can train it.

This was exactly what I thought of first seeing the thread author's name.

Now imagine my shock when I saw it was bearing the "sincere?" flag of being a CCP dev.

I've never considered myself an internet prude but even if one were to argue the possibility of it "being a real last name" it cannot be denied the connotations that come with using it as your tag on an internet forum.

Wise choice for someone who represents the movements of a to-be-determined success.

Welcome, CCP Cmdr Wang

(might as well name yourself CCP Cmdr Avatar while you're at it)

Could you please report on CCP Shadow's efforts to perma ban himself as if he's successful he kinda won't be able to tell us :P

Also, as others have asked: DUST 514 BETA: When?

Also is it true that the name of the game is a reflection on the state of Montreal roads? (area code 514 for those who don't know)

CCP Big Dumb Object still holds the title for my favorite dev name. However, Mr. Wang, you are a close second.

WANG is the tag of the alliance once operated by Merch Industrial. Merch Industrial folded WANG and joined Goons many a year ago.

They are taking over.

So why does eve and dust feel to segregated? If I was ccp Id be trying to merge as much as possible of the eve universe into the eve gate, I mean you dont see a seperate forum popping up for incarna which is clearly another section of eve game play and style.

Either way welcome aboard and feed me some dust bunnies, fox is hungry.

I am disappointed in the EVE community for not making any Wang jokes yet. Sad

Console gamers also complain every time they are forced to buy a new game to continue with a franchise they like. That won't be a problem with DUST.

Also, if you want to use a keyboard and mouse, there isn't anything stopping you... unless they make it specifically not supported. In which case you'll be on a level playing field.

More importantly I welcome Wang.

All hail Wang ... the little fella in Command. When 'trouble' starts to spread, I'm sure he will rise to the occasion.
