No, it's actually a matter of can we. There are technical questions and restrictions, policy questions (with Sony) and design questions (how do we convert experience when the progression system is different, items are different and ISK works in different ratios).

When we can answer the questions above, we'll share with you. Trust me when we say we want to let people carry over progress. But we just honestly don't know if we can do so yet.

I've worked at the UN before, and this answer is one of the most confused, mysterious, and nonsensical public statements that I have ever seen.
Even the documents I had to write were less esoteric than this.

"Technical Questions and Restrictions" ---> Scaring people with things that they don't understand. What is a technical question when you're on TWO separate consoles.

"SONY". ---> How is sony even REMOTELY involved in Project Legion.

"We want to let people carry over progress. But we just honestly don't know if we can do so yet." ---> What in the royal heck does that mean? You mean you're going to magically lose everyone's account info on Dust 514.

You know what, if you were planning to drop this game, at least you should just have said it straight up.

I'm not a super dedicated player, but as an individual with dignity, I'm going to say that you're screwing us over like Dice did with BF4, and that if you WANT TO WIPE THE SLATE, that you should JUST SAY SO RIGHT NOW, instead of giving everyone FALSE HOPES.

Remember guys, its just a video game

Getting through a lot of twitter responses at the moment. A better space to share information and frustration with circles beyond the game.

SP is technically easier. SP is more a design question, tied into how the progression system changes.

CCP, I respect your desire to get player feedback and make Project Legion the sandbox shooter we've all wanted... However, I wonder why you've chosen to reveal Project Legion now. Rebooting seemed inevitable to me, even 6 months ago, but Legion looks to be 1 - 2 years in the future. You've alienated players simply because so many details haven't even been worked out!! Without a clear vision of the future, players are making up their own, and in the process are feeling abandoned and betrayed.

I understand people's rage. I started playing (and paying for) DUST because it promised a "Sandbox shooter". A promise it has consistently failed to achieve, and I've felt rage at this betrayal. I stopped spending money when I realized DUST 514 would not be able to fulfill that vision, Legion feels like a return to the original idea, but considering the state of your first promise of a sandbox shooter, why should I believe you when you say Project Legion will fulfill that vision? If DUST is your evidence, why are you creating a "different project, with different development tracks"? This I think, is the core of player's complaints/tears/rage/concerns, and this is the elephant in the room that you need to clearly address with your players.

You have an uphill battle ahead of you, and I don't envy your position; no matter what you say, you're going to lose players, even if what project Legion offers is what they always wanted. Personally, I'm committed to the Sandbox Shooter dream, and will be here offering ideas, suggestions and comments. However, I will likely be more reserved with my wallet this time around, until you clearly demonstrate a product that fulfills my Sandbox Dream (CCP, follow the link for ideas on how to better implement a Sandbox shooter. )

I have spent well over $600 supporting this game and my character has nearly 50 millions SP and over 400 million ISK. Personally, I think it would be unforgivable if CCP didn't allow Dust mercs to bring their skills and spoils with them to the new platform.

They wouldn't dare stiff us, right?

People misquoting me, I said exactly the same thing as I said here on IRC.

I have been playing dust since build one. So I have to ask the devs a question I would like them to answer thoughtfully.

Why should I or anyone else continue playing dust?

Logibros comments indicate that they simply don't know enough about Legacy at this point to say weather or not we will be able to transition over from dust.

From my point of view the whole fun of dust is the community and the mmo fun of leveling your character. If you don't know how or if we will be able to transfer over to legacy with sp and assets why should we continue playing?

Im not saying this from a, "GRRR I'm mad at you!" point of view, but from a, "logic would dictate," point of view. If I don't know my merc will have any impact on the eve universe other then the current back and forth of FW,(which I do for the gear, not the story line, which could also be nullified if there's no character asset transfer), I would simply stop playing until I knew more, or essentially I would be wasting my time.

To be perfectly honest "We simply don't know," Is probably worse then just, No or Yes, simply because it de-incentivizes any ones reason to play until they do know what would happen.

I'm going to have to check with my corpies to see if they share my sentiments. I want to continue work with my corporation because we've had some fun times together, but if anyone of them hung up there dropsuits because of this announcement, honestly, I couldn't hold it against them.

I look forward to your response.

They didn't mind misleading Dust players into buying plane tickets to Iceland. Why not just make up a bunch of other stuff about Legion?

Couldn't you simply copy & paste the data over manually?

I know you have the ability to read/write Character info. Would it not be possible to have people simply file a help ticket with their PSN information, view the info from a DUST 514 Character, and then edit the same info an EVE: Legion character of their choice?

Well, it turns out Zipper Interactive wasnt sucha bad developer after all, after taking part of these news, CCP... I aint buying a PC (its a working station for me, nothing for gaming) just to start over. You've absolutely lost yourself a player here if this is really what's happening and yes, I too have spent alot of time and money on this....
