Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Just a small feature request. When you're search by name in the Market window, you will get a significant number of matches for DUST514 player equipment.

Even if they share the same infrastructure, there is currently no reason for Eve players to purchase DUST514 items. There's no market buy orders for them, and all sell orders are NPC-generated. At best, it's a distraction; at worst, it's a vehicle for scams.

Could we get a checkbox to hide DUST equipment from search results, please?

Thanks for the post, we'll look at the EVE players experience in this regard.

Pointless currently given that DUST514 is being closed down for it's extremely low player base. (What a surprise that was only predicted 6 months before it even launched by 90+% of the Eve community.) May as well remove these from the market entirely. Even if they get used some day in "Legion" they would likely have to be rebalanced/redone anyway.

Dust wasnt as bad as people made out, it also wasnt as good as it needed to be. Playing with a pad it felt like crap but plugging in a mouse made it feel like Planetside which in itself is not a great FPS but its not awful. If it felt more snappy and less floaty, if the weapons felt more meaty, if vehicles utterly dominating and if everything had about half the hitpoints its a solid start. It also kind of looked like **** on PS3 next to other FPS games.

I do commend them for trying it but when its the kind of intangible "feel" thats wrong, thats a hard thing to fix. Legion has a much better chance of surviving. That said, if Dust was on PC first it would have been fairly early in the F2P space and could have exploded far more and brought in more money which in turn could have made the game better.

There is really no point in investigating anything: There is something on the market that clutters search results, and that doesn't have any sort of purpose for us, or no purpose at all.

It needs to go

Plus Dust 514 has a publically accessible Development Road Map

And a community crowdsourcing Trello, being actively used by the developers and the players

What's that you say? Eve doesn't have that? Really?

You don't have a customisable Captains Quarters yet either? Odd, we've had one a while now.

Eh, it's only a Gallentean space hooker

Nova Fox, your signature needs an update. Your CPM1 term started a while ago. :)

If you're comparing dust to planetside, then you either never played Dust, or never played Planetside.

The trailers for dust made it seem like it was going to be comparable to planetside (persistent multi-world corp sovereignty linked to eve) but that's not what it was. It was a BF clone with a bunch of match style maps you simply qued up to with no real corp affiliation (whoop, whoever wins the most matches wins--but people can still play that map even though you win). -- I'll admit, I played on the first week of open beta maybe they changed it to something completely different with some actual depth -- but that would mean they did a complete 360 from where they started.

--also, cash only exclusive items with 10% higher stats than anything free... not the first F2P game I've seen make that mistake, prolly won't be the last--but so far most of them are all gone 6-9 months after release.

*here's to hoping Legion will learn from Dust's mistakes--

in the meant time.. I'm with OP. If nothing else, for quality of life can we remove them at least until there is some tangible reason for them to be there.

I didnt say the gameplay was like planetside, the feel of playing it was like planetside. I'm talking Planetside 1 here by the way, not that 2 feels that much better but 1 in particular with its slugishness and how crap some weapons feel vs others (the weapon balance is bloody awful in Dust too) It ends up feeling more like Borderlands than a proper shooter, to bring it more up to date than Planetside 1 ;)
