As some of you may have noticed, TheMittani.com has started to run news and articles on Dust 514. One of the ones i want to cover in the near future is about how EVE players feel about Dust. So far i get a lot of "Meh, so what?" from EVE players and i'd like to know what the reasons for that are, obviously i have my suspicions and personal opinions but i don't want to make assumptions and speak for everyone so i'd like to know what your thoughts are on it and why?...

The beta is at a stage now where it's much better than it ever originally was, so there's that. It now has some promise to be a fairly decent FPS on it's own.

If it really takes off, I'm hoping it will give much more depth to New Eden in terms of explorable home planets, more intriguing stories, more different environments to different areas of New Eden instead of the same rocks we have everywhere right now, along with more immersion.

The only problem I see with it right now is I have no idea how they're going to manage to make PI relevant enough to make Dust relevant enough to Eve. I mean, really? Fighting over PI installations and that's it? Oh no, you'll remove so many passive sources of income for so many players... big deal. If you make them contestable, then again, I don't see how it would be a big deal since there are soooooo many planets out there, they can just move to a new system and set of planets. In my opinion, they should be more focused on making it about fighting to take control of station environments in 0.0, and other similar endeavors...

SOE completely screwed Planetside back in the day, I don't see how Planetside 2 won't go the same route eventually. They're very fond of killing their games after a set amount of time, after all...

Say what you will about CCP, but they have at least managed to not completely destroy Eve over the past many years.

I have the same worries about things if i'm honest. CCP have invested a lot of resources into Dust.

So not only have you never tried the game, you also condemn it to failure before it came out of the Beta stage?
Seriously?
Is that the average intelligence of an EVE player?

I was watching a friend playing Dust yesterday, the comments I could hear on the voice comms were quite positive about the recent patch and the mass test of orbital bombardment. Personally I hope that it's a huge success and tempts people to try out Eve just to see what "those bastages in space" do.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Gogela Epic Ganking Time CODE. Likes received: 3,461	#13 - 2012-10-04 01:24:51 UTC 11 I've been playing the DUST beta quite a bit. I even bought some gear with aurem. I gotta tell you, I think CCP will have a big hit on their hands if they get it stable and reliable on better servers. I'm really looking forward to DUST being 'real' and I think it's going to add to EvE. ...my 2 isk anyway. Signatures should be used responsibly...

I'm an avid Unreal Tournament 3 player so I consider myself pretty good at first person shooters. Thing is I don't own a Playstation 3, and I don't see myself buying one to play Dust 514 either.

So unless CCP comes to it's senses and ports Dust 514 to the PC, its just not something I'm interested in.

No, just that one. He doesn't even have a vested interest in EVE.

Hmm.. Cat Troll, Kitty Bear, Tweety Bird.. I'm starting to see a pattern here. Not sure if it's a family patern or a coincidental pattern, but definitely a pattern.

On top of that its a shooter. Another game about shooting people. Sci-fi can be a whole lot more interesting than that. We get to set foot on foreign planets and you want me to run and gun? Bleh.

I hope it succeeds.
A: If Dust can stand on its own legs, the EvE profit will go back to EvE or new projects
B: Dust can be the test dummy for CCP for EvE "on foot" environments.
C. We grow our community as more people notice CCP. Not just for Dust, but for EvE as well when they want to support their isk habit. Which means more fodder for everyone and money for CCP to fuel more space stuff.
