Wouldnt worry about it, the game will be dead in 6 weeks and abandoned in 3 months.


That is your personal opinion, which yes you are entitled to...

but please stop stating it as fact. you're probably wrong.

I remember the same thing being said about counterstrike, day of defeat and many other games during their beta.

There is a huge difference between DUST and these games, and it is a factor that will likely keep people comming back.
Persistance.

The world is not just a series of battles that have no effect other than to modify your personal Kill/Death ratio.
You'd be surprised how many people will forgive problematic gameplay simply because their actions can have a lasting effect on the game world.



While I am sure there are a several thousand players who will...there are millions who won't. There is no excuse to release a game that includes problematic gameplay while still in beta, look at SWTOR...arguably the biggest IP you can tap into...loses half of it's players in the first 6 months because of problematic gameplay. Fix the game, or don't release it.


True, but taking into account the average attention span of the console gamer, (who am i again?) the number of games on the market AND the gamers need to get the next best game no matter how good their old game is, it wont be the Dust's bugs that will kill it...

Can i has corp hangar and deliveries buttan please?


Sry, when that question was initially answered (months after it was initially asked) the response came saying it would take more than 6 months to add the corp hanger button back to station services. (and now they are saying it will never be on station services panel) Sad to think, that this was initially on SiSi, the "corp hanger button" was one of the main complaints within the first couple of days.


Update at 11:25 UTC: Downtime will be extended until 13:05 UTC.
Update at 12:23 UTC: Downtime will be extended until 13:45 UTC.
Update at 13:45 UTC: Downtime will be extended until 14:05 UTC.
Update at 14:00 UTC: Downtime will be extended until 14:45 UTC.

??!?!?!?!??!??!?

Seriously, why not just ballpark a longer figure and get it done quicker, instead of all this "maybe in 5-10 minutes...oh that didn't work....maybe 20 more minutes....oh that still didn't work...ummm 10 more minutes..." Its not like you don't have experience patching things, learn from each patch.

I remember when downtime lasted an hour, patches took a few days and we didn't complain about it (as much).

This is happening every patch again... They are doing the same thing over and over again :(


I want a special compensation for the extended downtime :D

Holly crap. They exceed their own DT by more than 2h now.
If it takes 15 minutes longer than expected, noone would say anything. But 2h more and more than doubling the time....

TL;DR What we all should be interested in and should be considered 'high priority' is game balance. Sandbox, PvP, EVE's economy as a whole, isk sinks, etc. The rest is just 'optional gameplay'.


- DUST is PVP in another genre.
- DUST is becoming apart of the 'sandbox'

As has been said before, alliances who don't play DUST will have a disadvantage over an alliance paying MERCS to fight on planets over sov, while they fight in space. I wonder how much change in the sov map there will be.


Reading comprehension dude. I explicitly stated there is players (like me) who don't give a **** about sov and spaceholding. Yes, there are players that do, and they potentially will be affected. But that's why I also state it is and should be considered "optional gameplay". There is more to the sandbox than owning space.

So i have cleaned the living room, did 2 loads of laundry, gave the dogs a bath and serviced the wife Blink... I even cuddled...

What to do now? I know plan out how I am going to spend the bonus Skill Points CCP is going to give us for the inconvienence of having to wait Pirate

13:45 A minor issue during startup delays lifting downtime until 14:05 UTC

oops the should say " A MAJOR ISSUE "

Dying is not scary, It's almost like we've been prepering for it our whole live's. But it was very sad. I didn't want to go. I love my life. I no longer try to be right. I choose to be happy.
