I think we should be allowed to carry over some of our SP, maybe up to some limit, like 10 million, and the rest could be converted into rewards that players can choose, such as unique supercharged passive and active boosters, or the equivalent.
I also think there should be some kind of carryover rewards for players based on how much real money they put into Dust. |

Dust isn't there yet, but that's the objective.
Privateer/scavenger/exploring in an environmental suit (...if I'm not using it for the sole purpose of COMBAT, is it a combat "dropsuit" anymore?), I don't think my Dust SP, killing-only equipment, and bonuses will be very applicable, would it?....
So Legion likely won't be for me, and I won't need my account transferred. If Dust 514 expires in the future (and I KNOW expiration is not going to happen any time in the next few years), I'm having a basket-load of fun in this experiment, and I'll be watching (and participating) in what comes next with Gallente-merc grin!
I'm sure there will continue to be contracts, factional warfare, and PC or the equivalent (hopefully all much more fully realized) so need to hang up the dropsuit. There will be plenty of opportunities for pure merc play. |

That's what it sounds like with every DUST presentation being about Legion. Weren't we promised a new build we could actually play at FF? What happened to that?
CCP is hedging about character transfer, but it's not a question of "can they?". It's a matter of "do they want to?" As was pointed out EVE still gets new subscriptions with 10 year old characters in the game, so starting with high level players is either not a problem or it will kill the game inside two years regardless as new players gain the same level.
CCP really needs to admit their plans for transfer right now, or folks will have to assume they mean to let all your DUST toons die.
My assumption is that they aren't saying because they know that making the call to make DUST a dead end will turn it into a ghost town overnight. 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.

So yall have been working on this for months behind closed doors but did not have the forethought to know this would be a big question? I find that hard to believe.

All these people want is for their characters to be more powerful than the other people that play Legion starting out. You have done a damn fine job of making Dust tangibly irrelevant to Eve while convincing every single Dust player that this would change. Those numbers at the beginning of the Keynote were meaningless. It is not hard to understand that the Isk in Dust and the Isk in Eve were not combined for a good reason.....because they simply weren't the same money. Isk in name only for the poor economic juggernaut dreamers. There aren't that many Dust players, this shouldn't even be an issue. Otherwise you just lied and coerced your way through two years of beta tests for your new Legion game. Not to mention all the "real actual money" that was spent for this pea shooter that doesn't even measure up to anything resembling a "AAA" experience. This Legion is exactly what you promised, without holding yourselves to the promise of persistence. That same persistence that is the supreme selling point of Crowd Control Productions. Different game my ass, that was a familiar rail rifle. Your next steps may seem to be not very consequential considering how few of us dusters really exist. But I sure hope your really despicable treatment of the small dedicated group of people does not go unnoticed to the Eve players and prospective Eve subscribers. Whom you very much rely on. I feel only with the shear will of everyone who gives CCP their time and their dime, will this injustice be rectified. SP is a design question no doubt. Doesn't mean that it is not a pathetic excuse and deflecting. But what about all the design questions that were figured out by us? By admitting that giving us our SP is a design issue means that it can be fixed without real monetary/legal loss. But above all don't play stupid with us. Dust keynote = nothing but legion reveal? It is a new product. If Legion is fun then it should not be a big deal giving us few hundred/thousand Diehards a leg up on the next race. How much should be scaled based on how much time was put into playing dust. simple as that, it doesn't even have to be a very big head start.
P.S. We have played for two years on about 10 maps. Can you guys at least do those poor suckers who gave you their money a solid and make more places to fight our irrelevant war? Your entire company was based on persistence, that's how you created a crowd to control and monetize. You did your company a huge solid by parting ways with sony, now do us one by making the right choices and making Legion the game to play over destiny, halo, battlefront. you can do it now, but don't throw so many huge fans under the bus... Don't do it, Im super serial guys

CCP collects data on eveyr single player, even EVE side i can ook up my dust merc. Figure out your new skill tree, which i assume to be identical, and let people file a ticket, claim thier character and you give them the equivaent isk/ SP. Its not rocket science, and its the least we deserve for being guniea pigs.

I personally don't mind if they reset the ISK and SP. ISK is easily recovered, and I've made some mistakes with my SP, so I wouldn't mind a reset for that. Plus, an SP reset might be necessary, as transferring it would once again contradict our "improve the new player experience" motto, since it would create the same stomping situation by dropping people in Legion with 50 million SP.
I've only bought the $20 Mercenary Pack long ago, I'll let that slide. For those who greatly invested only to receive a surprise-invalidation of their money, that's far from okay. I'm pretty sure there are some laws against giving out misleading information when it comes to products. Although there's this Sony Terms of Use thing that says they can alter the product as they please and it's at the consumer's own risk or something like that. This is a special situation that may or may not be lawsuit worthy. CCP could say that it was to fund Legion, however few or no one would consider that a justification. But then again, they're not altering the product, they're taking it away and offering a new one. The morality and semantics of this complex situation could be argued for days. Regardless of how justified or necessary any of this is, one thing is certain: It should not have been a surprise. It should have been communicated as a possibility when they started on it however many months ago. Kind of a "Hey, we're thinking about doing this, we'll work on it and see how it goes." But as usual, CCP doesn't communicate to the community nearly as much as they should.
About a month or two ago, Planetside 2 was having a problem with their servers in Australia. So you know what happened? The community manager made an 8 or so paragraph post explaining the details of the problem, what they've tried to do to fix it, what they're going to try, and thanked everyone for being patient. That post was followed by at least 50 thank-yous from players, keep up the good work, and some technologically knowledgeable guys even suggested solutions. And that, is a good community.
As for CCP, I don't know if there is a language barrier, or they simply don't want to tell us stuff. Which is understandable, I'd rather not deal with 5000 angry teenagers. But not trying is what brings us to today. Not having a clue what they're up to. Pondering whether or not they know what they're up to. Even going as low as to throw insults at CCP Logibro here, he's been good to us. Even if what they're doing at CCP HQ is aggravating, he's been a cool dude. Also remember we're not getting all the information, and a lot of the rage directed towards CCP is due to not knowing what's going on and being forced to make speculation. If everyone's time and effort is truly being invalidated, people have every right to be mad. However blatant insults don't help (they're also against the forum rules). Let's cool off a little.
I find PC to be the superior gaming format. ...Under the right circumstances. I don't have a gaming PC, and I get around 25-35 FPS in Planetside 2 on medium graphics setting. With that performance, I can play, just not effectively. I don't know if Legion will be any better with performance, but I doubt I'll get anything good. But with the switch to PC, the playerbase could decrease because of everyone that can't or won't play. I'll try Legion, but if it's subscription, I can't. This 16 year old doesn't get paychecks or an allowance.
The real question is, what will happen to the game we all love and despise? Considering Mr. Logibro spoke about matters of character transfer, that could imply that Dust will shut down. Or it will just be a one-time optional operation. It's best not to jump to conclusions. Will Dust become the guinea pig for balance changes in Legion? Test it in Dust, see if it works, put it in Legion? We'll have to see. I'm not deeply affected by this change other than an incapable PC. The console change is probably necessary for this first person shooter of New Eden to succeed, but I'm not equipped for it.
Overall CCP, you hold consumers in your hand. Try not to drop them. While some people have no more than an emotional attachment AKA addiction to Dust, many have things on the line such as purchases and a lot of progress (ISK and SP). Being CEO of a small corp with some really cool people to laugh and rage with has made Dust much better for me lately. I'd hate to lose that if something doesn't go well. This is a huge change, and I hope it goes well.
And there's my opinion, like it or not.

The issue of whether or not progress(SP, ISK, AUR, items) will carry over is important. Should I keep building up my character because my progress won't carry over or should I just play for fun because no progress will be carried over? Should I keep purchasing AUR?
This is one of those questions that players need a definite right now.
I supported CCP vision for Dust514 by spending money on it. I'm happy that this vision is being slowly being realized in EVE: Legion. But I would be lying if I said I wouldn't be a little upset or sad if my contribution didn't get me anything extra.

Hey folks look on the bright side maybe they'll let us beta test the new game.
And since Logibro says sp, items and isk work differently I imagine it's farther along than we're being told (or didn't anyone else notice that?)

It would be slightly unfair for us to all take our mountains of SP into a brand new game right off the bat so what they should do is convert your SP into AUR, allowing you to buy special DUST514-players-only boosters so you can get up to where you currently are, much faster than the other players of Legion who never played Dust.

I pride myself in always looking at evidence but giving the benefit of the doubt to certain people I trust.
Evidence indicates the following. CCP is welcome to correct me:
1) The game was advertised with elements that were not nor ever will be inside DUST
2) The game design leadership indicated continuous progress would be made toward improving DUST and making it a better game. Clearly that has ended and not to mention we got things nobody cared to have or even wanted while not fixing the things we did.
3) The game has bugs and elements that were never fixed. I know why this is because I have personal experience (not in CCP).
4) Continuous participation asking questions from the player base in the forums has bread very few acceptable changes in the game from the player bases perspective.
In short, we didn't get things promised OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
I can promise you, this team follows no standardized model for developing a game. They will make the same EXACT mistakes with Legion they made with this one. They will outsource and get compiled code....AGAIN. They will fail to implement a proper database system to allow for easy changes to metrics and mechanics of the game....AGAIN. They will continue to add new content and fail to fix bugs or balance other things....AGAIN. If you buy Aur and purchase a product they will then change that product in future updates and there is nothing you can do about it....AGAIN. (Actually, this one is viable for a class action law suit but that is neither here nor there). They will not develop a game that we will enjoy. DUST514 was enjoyable simply because of the people. It was fun playing with most of these people. The next game they make will likely only have that element.
If you want to be the sucker that goes over there b/c they will transfer your SP then by all means do it. But don't think for two seconds it's going to be a game done better than dust. The evidence has presented itself that they CANNOT develop a game properly. Eve was a lucky accident. Either they know this or they don't and are delusional. Everything else they put out will be limited by the poor leadership and management and failure to follow existing models for developing successful games.

They wouldn't dare stiff us, right? I hope so too. I don't care as much about the ISK. I have about 140 Million. But **** that. If they tell me they can't bring so many ISK over for the sake of the market then ok. But my SP. These are ******* important to me. As long as I can bring my char over with only SP I would be ok with it. Would not be exactly the best case scenario, but it would be something I could live with. If they don't allow us to port our chars over to the game they said we will get on the PS3 sooner or later then I want my money back in full.

That's what it sounds like with every DUST presentation being about Legion. Weren't we promised a new build we could actually play at FF? What happened to that?
CCP is hedging about character transfer, but it's not a question of "can they?". It's a matter of "do they want to?" As was pointed out EVE still gets new subscriptions with 10 year old characters in the game, so starting with high level players is either not a problem or it will kill the game inside two years regardless as new players gain the same level.
CCP really needs to admit their plans for transfer right now, or folks will have to assume they mean to let all your DUST toons die.
My assumption is that they aren't saying because they know that making the call to make DUST a dead end will turn it into a ghost town overnight. 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. you owe us refunds.... crooks.... Lol, how so? Did they somehow not give you what you bought? I don't think "never going to PC" was ever part of the agreement. Up until they knew they wouldn't continue developing Dust 514 they did deliver.
Everything should have been centered around Dust players getting ported over for a year plus of support and in many cases in a financial sense in addition to many hours of beta testing for them.
They should have told us about it and made Fan Fest about selling this new project. By then the fury would have died down and they could have sold us on it.
I honestly can't think of a way they could have handled this more poorly.

Indeed, they should have kept the player base and ported us all over to the other game, hell I would have continued to throw money into dust for getting SP forward into Legion.... |
