Hey everyone, 
 
I just found a new youtube interview with J.C.
I didn't see this posted on the forum yet so I thought why not share the joy with everyone.
 
 
Have fun.

Sure, but they also indicated they will give a nudge to stimulate certain events.
I don't think they are spending so much time creating all these tools to let them go wasted.
 
I still think its a bit too early to make predictions. 

I've played EVE enough to understand the appeal of it. Though I would never call myself an expert player.
 
If it makes a difference for some people reading, I do not want EVE.2. I actually hope that because of the multi facet gameplay DU will offer that it won't devolve into a dystopia. 
 
Everything in DU is build around the concept of rebuilding civilization. Though that includes some pew pew. 

Talks about intelligence, then posts in wrong section. 
 
Is this what they call irony?

One of EVE's many problems is the "kill 10000 Rats (NPC Pirates), get money and loot, rinse repeat"..

If DU was to add PVE, I'd hope it's for cosmetic items. If Firefly taught me anything, it'd be the future is full of trenchcoats, leather jackets and silk scarves. Make PVE part of the crafting experience.
 
And indeed, many of the so called "psycopaths" I have thought of in EVE before playing it, are the coolest dudes once you start talking with them.

The issue people have - like IRL - is that it's easier to reach in premature opinions, like "guy killed me, guy is bad, game's bad", instead of thinking "hey, why did he kill me for? Oh, turns out I am in their faction's space, I was trespassing".

Of course, unlike in EVE, DU has avatars first and ships are just vehicles, so we can HOPEFULLY have people who are willing to solve things by talking.

I posted a topic on Knock-Out mechanics isntead of just killing people, as a means for people who do scouting and patrolling to be able to pin someone down for interrogation, so we can have both "shoot first, ask questions later" and have the NBSI protocols strong.You see a group of people trespassing, knock them out, ask them who they are and what they were doing here, if they are just peaceful people looking to mine, explain to them the lay of the land and the fact "you mine here, you pay subscription to he org running this place and yo uget lower tax on market units for your ore" as an example.

See, this is what DU needs mostly to deviate from EVE. EVE has no tools for "mercy", it's either "let them go" or "blow them up", no in-between. Someone can say "you can ignore their pod, that's mercy" and to that I say "really? Blow up a 10 Billion ship and letting a 1 billion Pod go? "

Personally I'm not overly worried about griefers. I always felt that the majority of griefing was caused by boredom. 
 
And while I applaud EVE for the things it did right, I think DU will have more dimensions in gameplay. This makes me hopeful to see a different culture emerge in DU. 
 
EVE has many problems and I've played with some really good people in EVE. But the majority of stories to come out of EVE were incredible scams, expert griefing, exciting war stories and the perception that the entire EVE community is the filth of the MMO genre. Which isn't quite true. 
 
I don't want this reputation for DU. 

Hi everyone, 
 
As some of you were wondering a bit a bout this unannounced video, here are a few clarifications:
- This is the first tutorial video regarding Pre-Alpha gameplay.
- What is in it is subject to change quite significantly in the near future (with community feedback and also several changes already planned). Also, as the Pre-Alpha test sessions are still quite limited for the time being, we prefer to see Pre-Alpha tester focusing on testing what's in game instead of recording videos to make tutorials that would become quickly obsolete (you will have all the time to do your own tutorials in Alpha, when UI will be not far from being in its definitive version).
- Releasing publicly this video wasn't a mistake. It was done on purpose: we are aware that a lot of backers didn't have (yet) the opportunity to have access to the game, so it seemed to us it was necessary to give them some preview of the game mechanics currently in-game. Moreover, we hope this will help, in addition to the in-game tutorials - a lot of Pre-Alpha testers to master more quickly all the tools available.
- While we considered not opening comments at first, we came to the conclusion that it would be better to allow them for a  public video. Comments are now opened on this video.
- This video is not under NDA so the content can be used by other Youtubers.
- This video doesn't replace the DevDiary of this month.
- There will be other (shorter) Pre-Alpha tutorial videos soon (between today and tomorrow) to help Pre-Alpha testers grasping other game mechanics currently in play.
 
Best regards,

Hello everyone, 
 
Ign just posted a new trailer for DU. I admit being biased but I think it looks great. 
 
 
 

"It has been a while, and we have made some changes to how the organisation works, its goals and objectives. The recent tests have given an insight, but much more prominent, are the shifting dynamics and unfurling events in the Great Game. A refinement of goals is necessary to remain valid and competitive in Dual Universe.
 
While the changes certainly are rough around the edges, they will be much more clear as the game matures. 
 
Once again, cheers.

All very good points and this subject has been brought up several times. 
 
One idea has been that these npc's will switch on and off to inject currency according to a formula, when required. 
 
Naturally this is all speculation at this point.

Actually, only Samsung, occulus and vive are using the oled. 
 
The reports say that the inside out tracking works pretty good, but I have no basis to compare. Although behind the back movements are solved with a predictive algorithm, so vive and occulus win that one. 
 
I'm very interested to see the competition between the platforms. And surprisingly I'm more interested in using it to watch movies than playing games. Game wise they all seem so gimmicky. 
 
But it does look like my childhood wish is finally happening.

Well, wether you like it or not, the "single shard" expression isn't born yesterday and hasn't been invented by us, as it has been used for more than a decade in the video game industry, and has been widely spread with EVE Online.
 
Edit: According to wikipedia, a "Shard" can be used to designate a database architecture OR a game server (which can be hosted on several computers).

We can neither confirm or deny this statement. 

Whoa there, I don't know where you've been for the past several years, but NQ has done more than spectacularly on the openness and transparency front. If you think that them having to describe the personal situations of people who may have had issues with their pledges is what is going to define their transparency, I think you're sadly mistaken here.
