Dust 514 closed beta

[daLa]

Actually more like an open beta

Oh yea my bad Open Beta, if it's an open beta doesn't that mean we won't need codes to gain entry? Should be available for everyone in the PSN store, right?

No closed beta = internal+ few others open beta = internal+ invites and public= no code

Just got myself a code via the PS Home E3 event. Was pretty damn easy, albeit a little time-consuming. You're going to want to complete all 12 of the E3 trivia quizzes/fetch quests, then head on over to the DUST area.

Once inside, watch all 4 of the videos, then head on over to the Slay game. You don't even have to win in order to receive a code, just keep pressing L1 until its over, then go back to the video section and you should see your code.

Thanks! That plus the mammoth home update I will no doubt have to do is definitely time consuming

I'm very interested in this. I'm interested in seeing how it affects Eve Online (where I also have a character since 2004). I was hoping to get a beta through my eve online account, alas, no such luck. Never known CCP do anything by half though so I expect big things

You'd be surprised to know how much EVE players are actually scared that Dust 514 might shake things up too much. But CCP knows this, and is still building the game to be extraordinarily bad-ass.

This is what I love about CCP: they pull out the most ridiculous, hard to achieve ideas, and are still super confident that they can not only get those ideas working, but make them profitable.

At first, everyone thought Dust 514 was too crazy to work. Now everyone wants in.

[Joe Zombie]

My concern was that DUST would take the focus off of EVE, in terms of updates/expansion packs/etc.

Hopefully this isn't EVE's "NGE" event. Then again, I haven't played it for some time.

Fucking hell that sounds like too much work to get a code.

Eve players are a fickle bunch. When DUST comes out there will be 15 threads that will slate it to death (as there are with ANY change in Eve, minor or otherwise) and 2.5k replies in each, every other one of which will be "Can I have your stuff"

Six months after it's out all the detractors will have moved on to something else (some ship attracting attention for a nerf because it's too uber in some way) and people will be filling the forums with a truckload of enhancement requests in patch updates.

The only thing more more flakey than mining for ICE in null sec are the Eve players themselves (yeah I'm one so I'm included in that generalisation). Sometimes there's more drama outside of Eve than in it lol

[Ghost-Rhayne]

Awesome! Just got me a beta code via PS Home. (took 5 minutes)

[Hulious777]

12 trivia e3 quizzes. WTF. No wonder. they never mention that. And you don't have to beat the slayer game... just wasted a crap load of time to beat it. That's truly pissifying. Well, at least a got a avatar costume that ill never bother with.

[Ghost-Rhayne]

Holy fuck this game is cool!! I had a few rounds and it has SO much potential, it's crazy. It still needs a lot of work of course, but the foundations of this game, and it's ties to EVE and what that can mean is really amazing.

[daLa]

I just wasted some good time doing the whole Home shit deal, only to find out there are no more beta keys available.

[Joe Zombie]

Awesome game so far! And this is an early, early beta version. I'm sure the full product will be fantastic.

Bloody hell, it's like starting eve all over again. I haven't managed to get my head around it all yet and I couldn't even reliably fire the weapon you get as a Shock trooper. Such a fucking dullard I am. Love that the menu icons and features are almost the same as they in Eve

Is it currently tied to EVE? Can you order in the air strikes and such already?

Not that I'm aware of. It seems quite limited at the moment. Having said that, I haven't had time to really sink my claws into it yet. I've played a few rounds, will get into it again this weekend and leave CCP some feedback.

I'm pulling every string I have to try to get in there. Hopefully something pans out and I can join up and get really started.

I can't believe I missed this game... wasn't giving it hardly any attention admittedly.

I remember seeing it at E3 last year. I was shocked that a console game would have such integration with a PC game and that it would be free. Then there were a few trailers out for it which showed the whole commercial merc side of it, where you have to buy all your stuff and I knew something funky was brewing haha.

The beta is quite rough at the moment. it is very laggy for me, and the aiming feels a little stiff. I haven't tweaked the options though so I may just need to sort the sensitivity. The merc hub that you have is cool, your lil dorm where you can sort all your shit out.

For a free game I think Dust is the shit. I look forward to seeing it grow and develop over the years.

There's a DUST514 chat channel in Eve. I'll ask if anyone has a spare Beta key when I'm on later. Can't promise anyone will but worth a shot I guess.

[Mr.Bishop]

I'm doing my best to get a few codes that we can give away on here as well. Stay tuned, hopefully we can get a crew going in there.

[DreDayDetox]

I'll sexually please whoever gives me a beta key.

[Mr.Bishop]

I'll sexually please whoever gives me a beta key.

Wow, so this day could get a whole lot better...

[Chille]

Lol have fun mr bishop, have fun

[John420]

I would love a beta key if anyone is able to spare one! cheers

[Soldier 95B]

If all it takes is giving head to get a code, unzip bitches!
