There isn't a single person that has play or is currently playing this game up to date that has put more effort into supporting the community and the new player experience. You most defiantly have my support. You would be a great addition to CPM1 and I am sure that you have the community's best interests in mind. Best of luck!

So today was the first day of Fanfest.
Traditionally the less packed of three days, CCP have conscientiously made the decision this year to not pack as much in over three days to allow players to mingle more and for the Dev's to spend more time with players on the shop floor so to speak.
So I didn't do a great deal today apart from posing for photos in my uniform for many people, chatting to a lot of Dust players and Devs's who really can't spill too much till the Dust Keynote tomorrow.
I did go to the Eve/Dust 514 Community presentation which was more a open house Q&A fore players to pose questions. Surprisingly the majority of them where about Dust. More events such as the Battle of Cadari Prime would be a long term goal for CCP as that event took three months to plan and execute, time and resources that I'm sure you will agree would be better spent fixing the game. But Saberwing does foresee a time once better back end tools are in place to do another event like that in the future.
Once CCP Rouge makes his plans more open to all and the Dev team can start talking about it, Saberwing plans to increse dramatically the number of Videos that the Team will put out, hopefully starting with a tour of CCP Shanghai.
So after that we mingled more and got to meet ZionShad of the Podside Podcast. He's a very confidant and engaged fellow who is loving his first Fanfest. We then went to the PvP arena and tried our hand at ganking the Dev's and CPM. Reevira had a great game but I sadly did not fair well. Logibro put the fits we had to use together and the were lacking is the nicest way I can put it. His idea of a good scout fit.......
Following that was the Eve Valkyrie Keynote, which if I'm honest didn't float my boat. The game itself looks amazing but the Keynote itself was a little dry. However there were three redeeming parts.
Number 1 was that it uses Unreal Engine 4, which raises my hopes that we'll see that in Dust in the near future. Number 2 was that the Demo of Valkyrie that we are getting to play on tomorrow is not only the first time anyone will play the game using the Unreal 4 engine, this build was only finished today. They will also be demoing it with the DK2 version of the rift and also a very limited number of Sony's Project Morpheus.
The third thing was that the voice of the main character Ran, was none other than Lt. Starbuck herself, Katee Sackhoff (hubba hubba), who recorded a very nice message for the attendees here (watch till the end).
So all in a good day to meet lots of new people and the promise that Katee wanted to sit next to me...... it defo was me she was pointing at.
Tomorrow is the day that the community finds out what is happening. Make sure you watch the Keynote.... Its going to be a big one (and Rouge is crapping bricks being on stage lol).
Good Luck JC o7

Copy of the corp mail I just sent to DUST University members
Hello to one and all,
As you have now heard, CCP are embarking on a project that will bring to fruition the original concepts that DUST 514 promised. This is what Project Legion is.
What was shown at the DUST Keynote is a very rough beginning of that future, which I'm sure you will all agree looked a lot better.
Now, a lot of talk is happening on the forums right now about this being the end of Dust. That is a lot of crap, spoken by people who aren't here at Fanfest to learn the full context.
CCP Rouge has since gone on the EVE TV stream to clarify a point that may have not come over on the Keynote very well. While the details of how it happens are as yet not finalised, he is determined that any footprints you've already made in the Sandbox will be as well preserved as possible.
This means that in all likelihood, your merc and his/her SP will carry on over to Project Legion. He will not promise that as doesn't want to make promises he can't keep, like CCP Shanghai has done in the past. But it is something he wants very much to happen.
Dust 514 will continue in its current iteration with hotfixes and the like and if any features for Project Legion can make it over to the PS3, they will do their best to do so.
Legion is also NOT the final name of the game. Project Legion is the internal development name for the prototype shown today. It was however Trademarked as they did like the name and didnt want to lose the chance to use it.
It was clear to anyone with even a bit of computing knowledge that the PS3 was simply not the platform for CCP Rouge's vision of the game to flourish. And has been said several times since the Keynote to us here at Fanfest, Legion is CCP wanting to bring the original vision of Dust to a 'PC based architecture' and both CCP Preatorian and Rouge have pointed out several times other formats use the same architecture. They are just not going to say anything other than that because they dont want to promise ANYTHING they can't deliver.
DUST University is going to continue. I'm going to continue....
And so should you!

The largest concern, Kevall, is that the DUST community isn't going to survive for another year or more on hotfixes. They lied to the community and said this was a DUST keynote, and then announced Legion, which explicitly "wasn't DUST", and then walked off the stage.
The game engine might be more powerful, and the graphics might be prettier. But 75% or more of the community will be gone.
I'd like to be your CPM1 candidate

If they had also announced a PS4 build, everything would have been fine with me. As of right now however, CCP has told us to buy a PC or gtfo.

EVE players don't want a PS4 client. Ergo, there isn't one. I think it's been made painfully clear today which group of their players they listen to.

Same here, if they had the computing power in their brains and said, hmmm we will investe effort in produce a PS4 client too, the console community would had responded diferently, in any case most of the current dust community was expecting a green light on a PS4 client to make the jump and buy the PS4.... so shame on you CCP for enraging us, the Console Scrubs like the PC master race like to call us. And yes maybe we r a bit angrier community but we r keeped this game alike in pure anger and hope.... now u take hope from us and leave only anger... What Hell u expect it?

You have to admit, CCP could not have handled that any more poorly. There was nothing in the Key Note to assure DUST players watching that DUST was not dead, and the Blog only mentioned this in the last paragraph. Basically by the time the Twitch audience found out what was really happening they were already too pissed off to care.
That was the worst public relations gaff I have ever seen! They took good new and turned it into a public relations disaster.

And to be fair to them, they've come to realise in the last few hours that the way this has been handled has been bloody awful. Its given the the CPM a bit more leverage as well in the 'we told you so' one-upmanship they have with CCP. There is actually a two day CPM summit, after Fanfest on Sunday and Monday, where a lot of this will be yelled about.

They did handle it very badly. They needed to assure DUST players that they weren't simply abandoning the game and refocusing on Legion. The fact that even in the follow-ups there has been little mention of what DUST will actually get while they focus on Legion. They'll give DUST 514 any features that are possible that are developed for Legion. Meaning that DUST will get a small % of any Legion Updates.
To save grace, they should allow transfers of characters from DUST to Legion, and dual release Legion on PC and PS4 so that we have the choice how and through what medium we play still.

Sorry, this is crap and any misunderstanding is entirely CCP's fault. I should not have to be at Fan fest to understand what is happening. Frankly spoken, thank goodness I decided not to go after this fiasco as a Dust only player.

I hope you all watched the CCP Presents Keynote.
Your Character's will not only be able be move over to whatever Project Legion becomes on PC, they will also have a place in Eve and Valkyrie should you wish to play those games too.
To be honest the whole thing has been a clusterf*** of huge proportion. JC was under the impression that his Q&A round-table AFTER the Dust keynote yesterday was also going to be on the live stream, so he'd have the chance to quell your fears with more face time with the community and was mortified when it wasn't. Hence his going on the Eve live stream most of yesterday afternoon to say that no Merc gets left behind. And his appearance early in the CCP Presents keynote.
I'll speak on the subject more when I get back to the UK. I'm hopefully going to be doing something with Tech De Ra as a stream to give some assurance to you guys about what happened at Fanfest, by two guys that were actually there and not from those claiming to know everything while in a different time zone.

Hey Kevall, since it's been a few days and Fanfest is essentially over, would you care to summarize your feelings on the situation and how you plan to move forward knowing the reveal?
Also, would you like to comment on the way the current CPM handled/was involved in the current situation, and what you would have done, differently or otherwise? |

First of all its very, very important to remember that the CPM have absolutely no power of veto over development decisions and business strategy by CCP. Anyone thinking otherwise is to be perfectly blunt a total moron. Don't like that? Tough.
They can no more change the course of such a move than I could stop the tides.
Secondly, I'd have done exactly the same as the CPM. Soaked the information in and said OK, how so we proceed. Since JC told them, they have been very involved in the development of Legion. Its difficult for me to get angry with CCP because they are putting into Legion EVERYTHING we've demanded of the game. Full racial weapon parity, new UI, a better skill tree, complete player driven economy, a meta based matchmaking, easier progression curve for the new player. I could go on.
I'd prefer on console but PC is the fastest way to go to get it done.
DUST University will continue.

From the responses of CCP Logibro, CCP Praetorian and CCP Rouge on the streams it looked like as they were making up the "roadmap" for Dust on the go, without having it planned out before. The "DUST 514: Vision Update" was known to not be on the stream as usually no roundtables are ever streamed from Fanfest (although AFAIR they tried to stream some dev tracks last year, it was pretty incosistent) way before he had the "keynote". Also the schedule for the stream was posted on CCP's website on the 30th of April, so there was a lot of time to change the presentation...
So yeah, calling the event a cluster..... isn't even the worst description. I don't have confidence in the vision now, also CCP saying "wait a few weeks" for the details isn't going to cut it - we were waiting since October for details...

And I'd like to point out that blaming the CPM or calling for their mass resignation is so ******** right now.
I've talked to JC, Z, Logibro, Prearorian and Saberwing extensively over the last week, and the one thing that they all say is that the CPM have worked their asses off to keep the community in mind. And the progress of Legion has been super fast because of the input of the CPM.

I must say that i think the appointment of CCP Rattati as liaison for Dust is going to be a positive move for the continuation of DUST 514 on the PS3.
I just hope that all his hopes for transparency are fulfilled.
