And you've been pretty quiet about how we as Eve players will get to interact with Dust 514. All we know really is that we will be able to hire some dust mites (that's the technical term by the way). But you've been really quiet as to how. How will we do anything with Dust? What will the interface look like? How will we get to track the dust mite's progress? Will we be able to watch battle reports on the captain's quarter screens? Will there be anything we can do to help defend the colony? Will there defensive structures we can deploy on our planets? Will they require skills? Any of this going to be shown at fanfest? I'd really like to know before this comes out so I can plan ahead!

correct me if my information is out of date but....

last i checked Dust IS coming out this summer, but it will NOT be connected to eve for another 6-10 months because they want people in Dust to build up skills and their own economy or something first, they ahd stated that they knew the risks of large alliances just saturating teh Dust market off the abt, and they wanted dust to have soem rpep time so they can make tweaks to ensure soem form of balance upon dust-eve connection.

So what you're saying is, that they removed the main selling point of the game, because they feared the designed connection between the two games might influence each other in totally predictable ways?

Oooo I hope you're wrong about that. Also +1 for 'dust mites'

They want their customers to achieve game addiction before they let us loose on them to trash their aspirations for the future.

It's absolute nonsense. In the MMO industry games often launch and die in the first six months. If CCP doesn't deliver on that promised connection in very short order, it might as well not exist at all as far as most people and the gaming community are concerned. All the initial press, reviews and interest in the game will conclude, that CCP lied or failed to deliver on what they promised and that is what most people will ever remember of the game, if they remember anything.

The idea is also silly, since they have the option to just separate the markets, which achieves the same thing without the commercial suicide/humiliation part. Even if they would choose to keep the games separate for some reason, the 6-10 months timeframe is absolutely ludicrous.Which they likely won't do, since alliances can PLEX up their people, buy the stuff directly from CCPs item shop and go around any restrictions, so it's not like separating the games or their markets would even prevent alliances from pimping their people and messing up the balance.

Because the xmas market is saturated and Dust it is a downloadable game - so can't really be bought as a present.

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Sometimes when I post, I look at my sig and wish that I'd follow my own god damned advice.

Dust will NOT hit the shelves this summer. There is just no way that CCP is that close to delivery and is still keeping this quiet. The reason they are so quiet is because there is not much to tell.

How long ago did they start taking signups for the beta? where is the new beta?

still on the drawing board.


CCP = Blizzard; in regards to Dust.

Summer 2012 = Winter 2012 = Fall 2013 = Spring 2014 = so on and so on....


The game has been in production for a number of years now (first 'functional' looks were back in 2009 so development HAD to begin a decent time before that). I don't mind CCP taking 4-5 years to develop the game if it takes that long to get it right and not ruin Eve.

But don't dangle the carrot...

FC, what do?

CCP isnt even advertising the game yet.

How many times do you see a new FPS come out on the market and you don't see commercials for 6+ months leading up to the release date?


DOUBLE POST FOR TOLLOLLOLLS!!

Nope, it's 'Dust Bunnies'. Never seen anyone use 'dust mites' before.

I wouldn't write it off just yet, after all the vids do look rather spiffy, CCP might surprise everyone with a top notch rpg/shooter that can stand on its own until connection.

So long as it's not another cover shooter.

Please say it's not another cover shooter Big smile

Google 'dust 514 base' read all the blogs there. More than enough information to drown in.

Dust 514's CPM 1 Iron Wolf Saber Eve mail me about Dust 514 issues.

Yep, it's Dust Bunnies. Nothing will change that now.

As Nova Fox said, there's info around if you know where to look for it. The site he said to google is http://www.dust514base.com - It should have just about everything that is known (disclaimer: I write there).
