Have you actually played it?...Have you tried DUST? Have you actually played it? Imagining a hundred thousand DUST players is pretty much fantasy. Even imagining the same number of DUST players as the regular population of Eve players, day to day, is likely extremely optimistic. It's an FPS, regardless of the rest of the proposed game content, and a FPS doesn't need Eve. And that's the danger for Eve. If the devs make too much Eve content dependent on consolers, they run the real risk of fucking the PC game because DUST turned out to be nothing more than one more, of hundreds, of FPS's, and players aren't interested in the big picture and they aren't interested in Eve. When they roll it into FW space, we'll see how it's faring.Pointy Stickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12037990370307002646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-58570336107014697482012-09-20T03:43:45.171-05:002012-09-20T03:43:45.171-05:00"A nice problem to have, unless players get f..."A nice problem to have, unless players get frustrated and leave, never to come back."<br /><br />Indeed a nice problem, but with a free to play game I don't think you will see much of "never come back" people. They will smash there TV, they will kill it from there HD but some time later they will take a look at it again to see if something had changed, it doesn't cost you anything to check back and you haven't had heavy expenses for an under-performing impression.Chaninanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-65673111663989242012012-09-19T07:52:29.223-05:002012-09-19T07:52:29.223-05:00I've been ponding thing a bit.

Implications to Eve more then implications to Dust.<br /><br />What my mind is twirling about with, right now, is that Dust needs Eve. <br /><br />Eve generates attention. At the moment, it is sad but positive attention about us as a community. However, Eve's hijinks are well known and searches come back with interesting things.<br /><br />Dust is a FPS and a FPS is a FPS. It however has masive potentual to create stories not on its own feet because it is a FPS but through Eve's support. Order an orbital strike? Sorry your bombardment just got ganked overhead with a hot drop. The battle has changed.<br /><br />This potentual is where the interaction and unique appeal can come from.Sugar Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15437978687639772023noreply@blogger.com
