Title says it all. CCP Hellmar (CEO, CCP) CCP Praetorian (Creative Director) and CCP Jian (Executive Producer) are all coming to chat on Friday the 28th of September at 04:00GMT (Thursday 21:00 PDT, Friday 00:00 EDT) on IRC. This will take place in the #DUST514 channel (not the beta channel). You can either connect using your own client (point it to irc.coldfront.net, ports are 6667 and 8080 for standard, 7778 for SSL) or use the Mibbit client provided
here on DUST514.org.
This event is going to be run in two different channels. #DUST514 is where the questions will be posted, and then answered by CCP. You will be unable to talk in this channel during the event. #DUST514.q will be where you can discuss with other participants, and pose your questions to CCP. (Note that neither of these channels are restricted so no registration is required to join)
If you're unfamiliar with IRC, I recommend you arrive early so that you don't miss anything and so that we can give you a hand if you're having trouble.
If you are using the Mibbit client
The Mibbit client linked will only join #DUST514 by default. In order to join the second channel, you can click the "#DUSt514.q" link at the end of the topic message that comes up when you first connect, or you can type (without quotes) "/join #DUST514.q"
To help us actually pick out questions from general discussion, we would ask you to add "Q: " to the beginning of your question. An example is:
Q: When do we get Pink MCCs?
This will help us filter out questions from the rest of the discussion. While forgetting to add "Q: " won't mean your question won't get picked, it just makes it harder for us to pick it out from everything else.
Logs will be provided after the event for those that can't make it. If you can't make it but wish to ask a question, I suggest that you find someone that does, or post it in the thread linked below and hope someone will ask it for you.
If you have any questions about anything else regarding the event, feel free to post
here or ask me on IRC (you can connect via the Mibbit client - prior to the event #DUST514 will be open to everyone to chat, or you can PM me using /query Grideris).

[CCP]Praetorian: We continue to improve all aspects of the game, and the minimap is no exception. In the next release you'll see a lot of improvements, both functional and visual, but we have more things planned ofc.
[CCP]Praetorian: And brandon will probably kick me for disclosing...
[CCP]Praetorian: we will be adding a pretty cool grid system on the overview map, to allow you guys to better communicate locations

DUST 514 Base
(5 hours ago) 
If you're on the fence about DUST 514, CCP has just announced a new early adopter package that may push you over the edge. It's called the Mercenary Pack, and it features in-game gear, currency, a booster, and some exclusive armor and weapons. Oh, there's an all-access closed beta pass included too.
Introducing... Me!
