Hi

Now that I am on Christmas break and have had a real chance to surf the interwebz I am noticing a real lack of concrete Dust 514 links in this forum.

Part of this is due to CCP Shadow's habit of moving anything Dust514 related to 'Out of Pod Experience', which nobody reads.

Given that much of CCP's future rides on the success of ths game, I think it would be great idea for all Dust 514 dev blogs to be posted in the EVE General Discussion section of this forum. There is some great info already published that should be pushed to the eve player base I think.

GD is for EVE, DUST is not EVE.

DUST posts either belong in OOP or their own forum area.

CCP, Please create DUST forum area

You don't think that the current EvE player base might be interested in knowing how Dust 514 works?!? They may be two separate games, but they share corps, currency, contracts, servers, and probably much more.

It is commercial suicide to move all relevant information to a backwater sub forum like 'out of pod'. No one will read it there!

I am a forum regular and have not seen any of these blogs, and I am very interested in them.

I figure there are others in the same boat as me.

Technically, Dust is within EVE. And soon, you'll have to face Dusties all around blowing up your colonies. Save yourself some future troubles and start reading Lol

+1 for giving Dust it's own subforum on the Eve Fora. Eve players (who might not also desire to be Dust players) would have different discussions than those who are solely interested in Dust (which is what the official Dust forums are for over on that other site).

DUST players are likely to be intrinsically inter meshed within EVE though - depending upon what Avatar creation options are available with the DUST game it may not even be possible to tell at first glance who is a 'capsuleer' and who is a DUST merc. It seems probable that they will enter into conflict over broadly the same space, resources and will interact with the same market: all sounds pretty 'general' to me.

I'm sure some are very interested, and that's exactly why it needs its own forum area here that has "DUST" in the name so people know where to go. EVE players come to GD for EVE general information.

The EVE universe perhaps, but is is not EVE, it is DUST. CCP still has not disclosed exactly how EVE players will interface with it and/or influence it. And by exactly I mean specific tangible details for the EVE side of the equation.

So, how does that work exactly? Where has CCP disclosed the EVE in-game mechanics of how this all works? Where can I read about these "colonies" and exactly how DUST will affect the price of dairy products in EVE? Please link to CCP authoritative sources where concrete details about how EVE and its players interface with DUST players.

I'd love to read something tangible and authoritative for the EVE side of things. All I've seen so far has been conceptual, and nothing concrete and almost always from the DUST players perspective, for example:

"Q: Will Eve industry bleed into Dust?
Yes. and that means they will have economic connections with each other."

If you have information less vague than that, please do share.

Then please bump/+1 the thread I linked to in my first reply, that's exactly what it's asking for.

At some point in time there's going to need to be a cross communication platform with forum features. It's one thing to put up a contract to attack etc, quite another for recruitment....Or say trading, war planning etc.

I say let eve gate become the center point of both communites. I mean seriously they are going to be joining our corporations and allainces and be killing our ships. They want to post kill mails to.

Dust Bunny >> Check it out, I sank a dreadnaught! Heres the kill mail!
Dust Bunny Commander >> WTF that thing was more expensive than our entire army!
Dust Bunny >> I know isnt it awsome!

But allow for players to select a filter which squelches out thier viewing from any game they de select. for example if you pick eve only youll only see eve news, events, and fourum sections.

By selecting dust as a viewable game you'd get to see everything both where either or both worlds are concerned.

From the looks and talks so far Dust bunnies will be a serious enough threat to space sov that empire will have to hire private armies to keep the other guys at bay.

and we will forever share the same forums, but in our own respective sub-forums
it will have to happen sooner or later, might as well start now because once it launches GD will drown in console tears

Dust will be tied to and affect EVE though, which should make it a valid topic for discussion in the EVE forums.

I have a funny feeling that DUST 514 will get it's own forum section when the Private Trials start. And yes, I'm pretty sure CCP Shadow said on twitter at some point that DUST 514 will have it's forums here on EVE gate. (Don't quote me on that till I can find the tweet to confirm that though).

Also, if you're looking to discuss more DUST 514 while we wait for the DUST 514 sub-forums to come out, might I suggest looking at my signature? Just a hint.

There should really be a "Dust" sub forum.

Per CCP it will effect and interact with EVE, so it should not be lost in "out of pod."
On the other hand no one wants to see the general forum over run with the details of "Dust."
