Open Beta on TQ ?!?

Am I the only one who's both surprised and sceptical about that..?


I'm a little surprised, but thinking more and more about it... If you want the open-beta guys to see what the uniqueness of the game (cross-platform abilities/perks) then its pretty important it be on the live server with all of TQ available for support, to let the players really feel immersed in the universe.

Can't wait to dual box my Dust toon and EVE toon on the same machine!

So they're beta and we're not? Will there be an NDA still in effect? How do you plan on enforcing it with open chat channels?

I mean, uncheck "show dust players in chat channel" box, and expect bugs and downtime, got it.


If all goes well NDA would be lifted around the 22nd. and hopefully a new build as well.

why is it that in the dust beta, none of the combat zones look anything like any of the screenshots? terrible popin textures (unreal); and so much "fog", you can hardly see more than 10 feet infront of you?

I wouldn't to much stick to the date, Open Beta will be there when Open Beta will arrive, AFAIR we will get news rather soon about the exact dates, but for now we're still NDA'd so much that only NDA can talk about the NDA ;)

Also Merouk SiSi runs pretty stable right now and probably 99% of Dust server related stuff doesn't require any SiSi reset, so don't be afraid that much!

Hi, i've a question for the Devs, Are Eve online CEO's able to give Director Power or Recruitement Rights to a Dust Mercenary as he can do to a 2 weeks old eve online pilots ?

I was really disappointed to see that it's not implemented at all in the actual version of the game on Sisi.

Yeah, i'm quoting myself, because I need an answer P

I noticed the blog says something about isolating isk from being transferred between the games. does that mean if i have some dust eq on market from my Capsoler that a dustie cannot buy it?

And also, is there a separate Dust-only corp wallet or can the Dust directors use the same master wallet and pay contract collateral?

So, would I be able to transfer 100M into the master wallet to be used on a bunch of matches on behalf of my corp from the EVE side?

Currently you wont be able to give a dusty isk or vice versa, its to help protect both markets.

Yup, for now Dust characters will be able to buy items only from NPC's, with the shared market being a Not so Soon™
EDIT: this is based mostly on public information presented by CCP already ;)

this will be the last reset for DUST characters. So enjoy those skill points mercenaries, you earned them.


Please confirm is this expected to be the last beta reset before the final release or the last reset ever?

He's talking about stuff that is currently covered by the NDA. Roll Don't be dumb, guys, its not worth losing your privileges. Please keep in mind that January 10 is NOT open beta and does NOT lift the NDA.....

Unfortunately, I cannot get Dust, but I AM overjoyed for this release! I can't wait to see it all happen :)
