EVE General Discussion

Well, they plan to do the same with WiS. Leave your CQ and get shot, something you never experienced in New Eden.

Sounds so exciting that i don't know why SF films and TV shows succeed without someone being shot on screen each five minutes -maybe it's a different demographic?

My PS3 is my blu ray player and netflix/hulu streaming thing

The amount of s*ht talking about dust, from people never tried or just are angry cause its a playstation exlusive, is f*cking hillarious

Planetside 2 is Buy to Play. It'll have a shop to buy stuff, just like Dust.

Sorry, I was pretty non-specific and only included basic references to stuff that was fairly obvious from the Dust website as being available. Didn't think any of it was in any way a breach of NDA.

Thank you Mars.

Nice to see some honest feedback coming out about this game.

Obviously a bit too honest.

I own a PS3 but I'm simply not interested because I don't play FPS all that much for years now (played Quakeworld and Q3 Rocket Arena in esports leagues, but lost interest at some point).

If I play an FPS, I play it exclusively on PC due to better graphics and controls.

Moreover, due to my general lack of interest in FPS, it has to offer really unique gameplay (like Day-Z) or somewhat decent gameplay combined with awesome graphics (like BF3) to lure me - Dust appears to have neither.

Last but not least, I despise the free to play approach.

Anyway - I'm obviously not CCPs target group when it comes to dust.

I expect it to fail hard, but hope it does decently enough to not lead CCP into bankrupcy.

Well yeah - but then, games that allow both tend to **** off the mainstream console crowd because they tend to get owned ny keyboard+mouse players.

I personally use Ps3 Predator for multiplayer games on the PS3 in case they don't support mouse+keyboard, but the configurability is still poor and it lags a little compared to PC - really annoying (I'm really anal about my mouse sensitivity).

I got voted off GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption servers on a regular basis due to being accused of using 'hacks' and 'aimbots'. The dualshock crowd doesn't seem to like mouse+keyboard users in their games, obviously .

Anyway - you asked for opinions on dust, that was mine. I don't intend to play it and it most likely wont affect me a lot as I never dabbled in PI and stopped caring about using 0.0 sov in the last 4 years.

Dust will certainly attract a small fanbase, but all in all, I think it's a stupid idea and wish CCP the best of luck so it doesn't break their neck - they'll need it.

I got sick of FPS games when I was in college and I was playing against people who had every inch of every Goldeneye map memorized. The few rounds of Dust I have played has improved my view of the genre, I have been trying to get in more play time but I really haven't had the free time. One of my Eve buds has been excited over the concept since it was first announced and it got him to go out a buy a PS3.

I love the concept and the unlimited potential behind Dust. How many null-sec CEO's would love to put an Endor style shield around their outpost? Nothing like that has been officially mentioned, however I don't think it is out of the realm of possibilities and illustrates the range that Dust could have.

I think its important to note, only basic game play is being tested in the beta and all that programming is being done in China. The developers in Iceland are the ones working on the Eve/Dust link which only the very basics has been tested such as chatting in local. Any corporation whether , null, FW, WH or empire based should be embracing dust, meeting the players, learning the ins and outs of the game. Those that fail to do will find themselves behind a giant curve.

uh ... I've lurked around the public Dust forums that are out there and it looks there's more to it than I thought before; shame on me for speaking about what I don't know well enough.

They're more eager to take part in sov warfare than the average of us it seems. Besides I'm realizing now that while here there's a strong resistance to each and every change that's proposed (no devblogs gets out without eliciting at least a little whining), they instead could be drive a lot of change because they are basically new players in a new game. Despite the misconception that Dust is a sort of 'tool' it could really become a terrible pain having to deal with them ... if CCP does it right.

Should really take the time to look at Dust forums, instead of the limited information on Eve related sites, it's a completely different music.

So thank you very much for the heads up.



If Dust has no industry, the ISK sinked into it would be money payed for taking planets in FW? Is FW as it is now capable of generating contracts for Dust clans?
