the did'nt Want to make eve players quit eve for dust ... !!!! clear for everyone NOW ? :x

Me i Think DUST is coming too earlier they should have been doing a system of avatar ( Incarna) for abordeable structures then Abordeable planets .. aand after a time create DUST ( dust players =aliens ? sanshas? ) and put the battlefield on planets

Eve players against dust players factions Vs factions etc etc but not that crapy cooperative intergame Bullshit....

Hmmm....
EVE players being on planets for PI reasons, and during attacks their character would be stuck on the planet until they are either saved by the defenders or killed by the attackers.
That would be a cool thing.
Maybe add some penalty to it, so it wont be like "lol I died, so what".
Tho its not worth losing SP over, so I don't know what penalty it should have.

Expect it to be released this year, i do.


So the general feeling is that you're not console or FPS players and thus have no interest in Dust. Does the possibility of what this could bring with it not interest that many people?...

Even as an EVE player and does not like console FPS games the thought of trolling all those consoles kiddies should be exciting shouldn't it?.. Or even the point that CCP is treading new, unexplored ground? Something like this has never been attempted before and that does not interest you?

The community around Dust is actually pretty good so far and even the console kiddies are very interested in it, it's got a large portion of the M.A.G community involved already and that was quite the niche little FPS on the PS3 too. There's certainly going to be a good number of non EVE playing loyal customers and that's shown through already.

I personally feel CCP's business model with it will be the same as EVE's, a small userbase to start with and add subscriptions or whatever to it over time as the meta game gets more complex, people hear about it more and most importantly, as new features are added to the game like what's happened with EVE.

It should also be taken into account the fact that there are more console players on the PS3 than there are players on the PC.
So even if Dust had the same percentage of players that EVE has of the PC players, it would already be around 2-3mil active players, or at minimum 1mil.
Now taking into account that 5 percent of those would buy Aurum at the worth of lets say, 20 dollars (which is what the statistics show about other F2P games), then they already got a hefty amount of money from this game, which means that they can get more employees to work on both EVE and Dust.

Well, what I understood is that the reason they don't put Dust on the PC is to make sure EVE doesn't lose players to dust.

Edit:
I just noticed my horrible grammar.
Please try to understand what I'm saying, I haven't slept all night, and when that happens my grammar decides to go to sleep without me.

I stopped buying Sony products after SWG, I will never buy anything that has to with Sony, since Dust is on a Sony Platform, I will never play it.

I'm a nerd, you can check my stats!! Skilling Int/Mem at 45 sp per minute is how I mack!     I'm like a lapdog, all bark no bite.

If Dust fails, we'll end up with yet another mechanic/system in Eve that's hardly ever used, along with Captain's Quarters, Lowsec, Planetary Interaction, and level 4 drone missions.

I want Dust to succeed, I really do, but I'd like to stay pessimistic for now so my heart isn't crushed later.

I just heard this from my cousin (After a couple hours stoned at my house, playing dust on two screens and two playstations) "Damn dude, I ******* gonna go buy my self a playstation. How much they cost now?"

I rest my case, lol.. Looking forward to release Pirate

Incarna on planets with guns?....which would have been an amazing expansion for eve. Instead they went with the console crowd and will pay for it in the short term until the PC version is released.

I'm cautiously optimistic for its effects on Eves future and would consider buying a PS3 just to give it a go as long as i could find one on the cheap somewhere.

well word on the street is that since dust is fully down loadable, all you need is a PS3 with a good hard disc, so broken blu ray drives wont matter and so make the unit cheap on ebay etc, but ive not looked into it properly.

As a console tard I still don't care about Dust. So yeah Meh.

Do not assume anything above this line was typed by me. Nerf the Truth, it's inconvenient.

I think Dust breaks the RP in EVE and completely shuts down all interest in New Eden for me.
I returned the ps3 I bought to play Dust because it gave bad light to the EVE universe.

Well, the different suits. I started an Amarr and automatically came equipped in a Gallente, or a Caldari suit.
Joining a battle almost always would pit me up against the Ministry of War, an Amarr corp. It would have me working for some shitstain of a corp belonging to the Minmatar.
Those two main points cripple the game for me. The other things are too small to mention and could easily be overlooked if I just did not have to deal with non-Amarr races.

I know it really seems silly and trivial...but the Amarr are the reason I started playing EVE...that and to play Dust as an Amarr.

I played the beta and thought this is not going to end well for CCP imo. Any game on the planets should have been a real time strategy game not just some stupid FPS. Lets us build civilizations on these planets and rule them instead of just using them as target practice. Leave the FPS for station warfare imo.
