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? |

They wouldn't dare stiff us, right? I completely agree, whilst i can understand an ISK wipe (still not pleased about it) SP HAS TO COME OVER

No chance, that's the big betrayal here.......
New game..... New characters....
From their point of view they dont want 5,000 (at most) have a major advantage over the rest of the playerbase (presumably wanting it to be a much higher number than the PS3 managed) |

All Saberwing has responded to on Twitter are these questions... They don't know what they'll do currently.
Beyond what people think, yea, CCP has the data.. But how can you get new players when you transfer 50 to 60 million SP characters to a new game?

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.

It's not just the money, it's the hundreds of hours we put in grinding away for SP. Those of us who experienced 5-6 character wipes since closed beta were promised that we would never again have to start from scratch.
Since then we invested a huge number of hours to gain SP for progression. Take all that away and there is little incentive to start all over again. it would break the promise (I don't care if you call it a "new game", it's the replacement for DUST), and it would be the last broken promise for me. |

That's why it's called Legion. You've been promised no resets in Dust, and as Dust is not being ported over only a new game called Legion is being created then they essentially didn't lie.

The real question is; will it still be free, or will CCP put a subscription fee on it?
(Sorry for asking if they already answered my question, I am unable to see any of the streams thanks to time zones and time constraints.)
I'd say walk in my shoes for a day, but you probably still won't understand.

Project Legion is a code word, a working title.
It's the DUST replacement in spirit if not in name. Remember, they count DUST as a release quality game too. |

In order of importance: Aurum/ packs/ items that we have obtained over the life of the game (only special event items and pack items) Skill points (it's understandable if they don't want this but it will eventually reach its current point on PC anyway so who cares) ISK. (Most understandable for them to reset for market purposes but refer to the above as to why it doesn't matter) Essentially: people NEED to have at the very least their aurum transferred or refunded. |

SirManBoy,
You know I love you bro, but I dont expect anything from Dust to be transfered to Legion.
It's a "NEW" Game in the image of Dust. I highly doubt that we'll be bringing our characters / sp / isk over
Don't get me wrong, I'd loved to be surprised, but I don't expect to be. |

Wow, I see some names I haven't seen before.
Well this is interesting, is it not? Is it possible that the Dust we want can't be done on limited hardware of the consoles?

How could you? I mean they LIED about the Dust Keynote being about Dust. They KNEW they were killing Dust. There are people who spent thousands of dollars going to Iceland because of a game they knew they were killing.
This sounds hyperbolic, but they are deceitful and there is no other way to put it. They could have saved people real world dollars by being upfront about this.
I'll never be able to forgive CCP for that. Not to mention the dollars I've spent on this game.
And Legion is a different game, the AUR issue is null and void as well as any problem they might have had with the BPO reimbursement.

DUST is dead, long live Legion.
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.

In other words, we can't.
Sony will dispute a transfer of players to a Planetside 2 competitor Dust and Legion are "different", but Legion uses all the ideas from Dust Technical restriction to just moving Skill Points from one place to another.
Dust is dead, HTFU

Project Legion is a different game, meaning nothing you do in Dust 514 will port to it.

Normally I do not complain but this is needed.
You went from being a great guy to becoming Electronic Arts in a heartbeat (I despise them). If DUST was already dead, why even spend the time space for a keynote? Why go though the trouble of locking post since DUST was just a prototype for Legion? What can the PS3 users do now since this was announced? People spent money in this game because they thought that this would get better only for you and the rest of CCP to spit in our faces. You guys knew about this. So the next question is this when is the last day we can play DUST? Keep in mind that yea Legion on PC will give a great player base but you lose the player base that paved the way for you in DUST. I will not be surprised if the player count were to dramatically drop by the end of the day.

I'm utterly amazed that you planned a keynote and a progress in dust presentation to give to a collection of dust players, without including any mention of carrying over progression or putting any spin into it to make the last two years of players supporting a game (that CCP itself clearly feels isn't worth DEV time) is anything but a massive waste of time and money.
The only thing more amazing is that the most heat you got for it was some very underwhelmed clapping and a single question on the issue. |

You haven't even built the game yet. The progression system can be literally anything you want to mold it into and the only reason your company would have to make it something that can't transfer over would be to double dip on the players who invested the most. |

If i was sony i wouldnt help. Id lay the carpet for their own shooter PS2. Trust is based on following throught with promises. Ive spent $120 on the game. Ive had my rages and fun.
You are not making any promises about new content or transfer of characters. I also have no trust. It was said that today was a evolution in Dust. Instead it was a new game reveal.
I honestly dont need a new pc. I was interested in a Dust ps4 cliet and PS2 and destiny. So whether the transfer occurs or not, its unlikely you will find me.

Beyond what people think, yea, CCP has the data.. But how can you get new players when you transfer 50 to 60 million SP characters to a new game? The same way Eve Online still gets new players.
This. With a well balanced game with good matchmaking. But, y'know, thats what every 50mio stomper is scared about. That his comfy snugglepuff pond, where he is the big fish, just because he happens to be one of the beta vets.
I dont care for SP. Take it. I care about a fun and deeply immersive SciFi game. And maybe I get it with Legion (hopefully next year or the year after next) and PVE. I spend about 50 bucks on Dust and I really got my moneys worth, so I am perfectly fine with it. I will enjoy playing it from time to time, cuz Legion is still far far away.
If all the vets stop playing now, the better for me . The more fun I am going to have over the next year or two. Go ahead guys.
The answer to your complaint is PvE. Always.

WITH THAT LOGIC, doesn't it imply that if you can transfer, you would. And if you can transfer, what will be the point of Dust? Which also implies that CCP has plans to kill dust!!!

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

Thank you. This answer has made me feel a lot better about everything that has happened today.
In the case that you can not port over progress, will you have any fall back plans? Perhaps a code to all players beyond X SP that can be redeemed for Y SP in Legion? (With multiple SP levels and multiple codes) Assuming that does not interfere with legal issues? |

Why, exactly? There are two possibilities here:
1. Project Legion is considered a completely new game 2. Project Legion is an extension of Dust514 and they transfer over items you purchased
Either way, how is a refund relevant? If it's a new game, then it's a new game. If it's the same game and they transfer what you bought (or giving you comparable deliverables if an exact one for one transfer is not available), then you aren't loosing anything.
Other thoughts:
1. There is no release date for this new project. There could be years until this comes out. 2. If you get value for the service purchased, then a refund is more akin to gettting paid to play the game. The purpose of a refund is when you get no value. I cannot imagine you would put in money into something repeatedly if you got no value for it (if you make only one purchase, then that is the exception to this concept).
I have spent a few hundred dollars as well. I enjoyed what I got from my purchases. I don't see a need for a refund, and won't be asking for one. Being upset is fine - you are entitled to your emotions. Once those have run their course, I would suggest looking back again.
And for those that have verbally attacked people over this, shame on you. (not in reference to anyone specifically, just a general comment) |

1) sony already made their cut out of our transactions. 2) We dont care how much SP is carried over, some of it must, else we will stop playing the curent game. 3) If any equipment do not carry over (blueprints, officier weapons, ...) do you serisouly think we will keep buying AURUM ? if you do not simply pull the plug. 4) Remember we are Geek people, do not try to bullshit us too much with game design shenanigans or that you cant transfer this or that over, we know how databases work ! 5) Seriously, I would support you going over to Legion IF you bring over my stuff ! |

And I'll say right now, if you can't, I'm through. I spent a lot of time playing this game and EVE exclusively, above all others. Do you really want to tell me it was all for nothing?
I can't imagine a bigger **** you to the player base because of technical limitations. I mean really, would you really do this to the people that have supported you all this time?

So you can't won't be able to confirm player form 514 and legion are the same players to allocate a certain amount of SP, even if they supply the same email address. Ballacks. SP is technically easier. SP is more a design question, tied into how the progression system changes.
So you admit you can scale our current SP total to match your ideas for character progression in Legion?

Why are you surprised? And I'm not saying this to be bitter. I'm saying think of the difficulties. First off, every character in Dust is in Eve. I can't make a new eve pilot called Be'e Po. That name is taken. And in Eve, names are tied into a variaty of things such asyour corpse if you get podded, kill rights, bounties, and such. So if Legion is part of eve too, you can't have a Legion character with the same name or identity without changing a database of characters that maybe quite old.
Then you have whole idea of skills... Is Legion a one to one port? Is there a combat rifle skill? What if not, how do you balance especially when you may not even be done planning out the skills in legion. What if the skills are more like eve where you have side arm, light, ahd heavy projectiles as 3 skills that cover all projectile weapons in each class, with specialization skills for each weapon. How do you match that up with Dust?
And when do you make the transfer? Do you kill dust, tell people to get to legion and that's it? Or do you say the move is voluntary as dust and legion will exist side by side, and only allow the move once, or would you let people transfer back and forth?
Also, what if CCP truly wants to keep Dust going, but as a stand alone FPS. You remove the eve, dust link, replacing it with legion, but give dust it's own, improved PC system and the game continues for 3+ years. When and do u let people transfer?
Sorry, but until all details are worked out on how the games mesh or don't, character transfer just isn't an issue you can easily say will be done with any certainty. |

People misquoting me, I said exactly the same thing as I said here on IRC. Just be straight up honest CCP Logibro, is it worth our while or not? We DUST players are on PS3, Legion is PC. What benefit is it for us to be on here?
I'll answer you m8t.
It is not worth playing Dust 514 anymore, since Dust's future is so limited now. There is no more PC 2.0, FW 2.0, Skirmish 3.0, PVE and Corporate Battles.
No more relevant development and now that SoonTM turned into NeverTM, will you play a dead game?
Graveyard 514
Project Legion is a different game, meaning nothing you do in Dust 514 will port to it.

You're honestly going to tell me that your company is ok with that kind of business practice that nullifies what I've purchased, when all of your advertisement has very specifically encouraged on spending large amounts of money on aurum and stocking up during special weekends? That Dust was going to have a 10 year plan with all of the features you just transferred over to Legion?
You're really going to tell me that your management is undecided on this issue?
You'd better get an official, solid answer out there fast. That's a lot of wasted money, and I know a lot of people who spent even more. |

Totally agree with you, if this was a business management software, it would be the equivalent of saying, ho we have this new version but the data you worked on for the last 2 years cannot be imported !
F2P model means in essence game as a service, and with a service there is at least a garantee of continuity. If its not the intended model than create a game, slap a fixed price and sell it as a standard 80$ game ! |

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.... Why, exactly? There are two possibilities here: 1. Project Legion is considered a completely new game 2. Project Legion is an extension of Dust514 and they transfer over items you purchased Either way, how is a refund relevant? If it's a new game, then it's a new game. If it's the same game and they transfer what you bought (or giving you comparable deliverables if an exact one for one transfer is not available), then you aren't loosing anything. Other thoughts: 1. There is no release date for this new project. There could be years until this comes out. 2. If you get value for the service purchased, then a refund is more akin to gettting paid to play the game. The purpose of a refund is when you get no value. I cannot imagine you would put in money into something repeatedly if you got no value for it (if you make only one purchase, then that is the exception to this concept). I have spent a few hundred dollars as well. I enjoyed what I got from my purchases. I don't see a need for a refund, and won't be asking for one. Being upset is fine - you are entitled to your emotions. Once those have run their course, I would suggest looking back again. And for those that have verbally attacked people over this, shame on you. (not in reference to anyone specifically, just a general comment)
good for you bro you dont mind losing money, maybe you have an awesome job and can wipe your ass with money or maybe mommy and daddy bought it for you idk, but i feel im entitled to a refund when there making a brand new game and its not even going to be released on the same console.... even if they let sp and isk get carried over im not gonna go spend 500 dollars on a ps4 or even more on a gaming pc..... if thats what there going to do they took from me.... i mean jeez spec ops the line came out like 3 years ago and you can still play that game and theres is still a decent player base but at least they didnt let me spend real money on it just to stop making it |

Yes. How many Hours have you guys played in relation to how much you paid? You just divide the amount of money you paid through the amount of hours. There you have your entertainment value. Compare the number with a visit at the cinema, or a book you've read (Oops ... wrong community :P). There you see if you have a reason to feel cheated.
I have paid 14 cents per hour. And I think thats totally fair. Waay better than your average movie or game.
I think the only real reason to feel bad is that the vision laid out for us may not come true on PS3.

Not even an attempt to say Dust will keep going. So can we take this to mean it's official, Dust 514 will be dropped?

There has to be something that carries over to Legion from the time and money I've put into Dust. Otherwise, I just won't play Legion. Nor Dust while Legion is being developed. Nor EVE. Period.
It doesn't have to be all of my SP, all of my ISK or any gear whatsoever. But I need something to show for my double-digit hundreds of hours of play and the hundreds of dollars I've spent. And it needs to be substantial enough for me to feel I've already gained something that would take a lot of work in Legion to gain.
It's not about being able to smack other people over the head with my skills or gear. I've been playing in advanced suits 99% of the time for the added challenge, I don't spawn camp and make the newb experience miserable, I don't exploit glitches etc. I want a fair game, and if Legion allows for more balanced and fair gameplay, I'm all for it. But, as already stated, I want something in Legion to show for all the time and money spent on Dust. |

There are only two things that seriously bother me:
1. Will Legion be Free To Play? I imagine there will be heavy logistical issues if the game doesn't have a bought subscription, due to aimbots and the lack of easy store access on PC. I, for example, would never utilize such a store because I don't have a credit card and neither do I have PayPal. (Also, Dust players NEED some kind of acknowledgment of their participation in Dust) I would never play a game with subscriptions. I wouldn't even buy it with a single payment, because it's a multiplayer FPS and this situation has shown that I can't trust it to survive long enough for my investment to be worthwhile.
2. Your business practice with selling Omega boosters shortly before the keynote. You knew that this would blow up. This is pure scam. Seriously, **** you for that. There is no other way to express my feelings on the matter. |

Like any sort of compensation would be fine in the name of balance. I'm in this crazy middleground. Legion is the game I wanted, I have the PC for, and it looks great. Dust is the game I was left with, invested in and made so many friends in, and nothing new was announced for it.

Some good Ideas here. I think it could even be a vanity Item. Something unique and special. Like a pirate eye-patch printing for our specially badass colored dropsuits, that stands for the emotional scars and trauma we have lived through. Something cool we can tell the newberries about and laugh, like the old bastards we are
I actually would be calmed by that, because it appeases my gamer-pride.

I think the issue isn`t anything apart from the simple fact that I doubt any DUST players will believe anything CCP or their representatives say again.
It is nothing personal, its just the way it is. Legion may well turn out to be very good. However that does not mean a thing to the people who have spent literally years and real money on a dead game, that CCP knew was dead a long time ago |

But we just honestly don't know if we can do so yet. you owe us refunds.... crooks.... Why, exactly? There are two possibilities here: 1. Project Legion is considered a completely new game 2. Project Legion is an extension of Dust514 and they transfer over items you purchased Either way, how is a refund relevant? If it's a new game, then it's a new game. If it's the same game and they transfer what you bought (or giving you comparable deliverables if an exact one for one transfer is not available), then you aren't loosing anything. Other thoughts: 1. There is no release date for this new project. There could be years until this comes out. 2. If you get value for the service purchased, then a refund is more akin to gettting paid to play the game. The purpose of a refund is when you get no value. I cannot imagine you would put in money into something repeatedly if you got no value for it (if you make only one purchase, then that is the exception to this concept). I have spent a few hundred dollars as well. I enjoyed what I got from my purchases. I don't see a need for a refund, and won't be asking for one. Being upset is fine - you are entitled to your emotions. Once those have run their course, I would suggest looking back again. And for those that have verbally attacked people over this, shame on you. (not in reference to anyone specifically, just a general comment) good for you bro you dont mind losing money, maybe you have an awesome job and can wipe your ass with money or maybe mommy and daddy bought it for you idk, but i feel im entitled to a refund when there making a brand new game and its not even going to be released on the same console.... even if they let sp and isk get carried over im not gonna go spend 500 dollars on a ps4 or even more on a gaming pc..... if thats what there going to do they took from me.... i mean jeez spec ops the line came out like 3 years ago and you can still play that game and theres is still a decent player base but at least they didnt let me spend real money on it just to stop making it
I didn't lose money - it's not an investment. I purchased a service which I have enjoyed. And I'm not rich. I'm an adult who spent my own money because I made a choice to do so. |

I seriously hope CCP pulls another desaster like they did with WoD and goes bancrupt. For me im not spending a single cent for neither dust, eve or other games that CCP develop. You just bite the hand that feed you. Does CCP really think that any 1 with common sense believes this "we are still going to support PS3" propaganda? We had beeing promised alot of stuff including PVE which got scratched and now assigned to Legion and today they showed their true colours.
This game wont see any significant improvments, there wont be true new content so all what ive dreamed, worked and payd money for is gone. And dont fking tell me to get Legion and start all over again! Im not going to ditch my 40 mil SP just so to start over again. I had enough off this bollocks dust was nothing else then just a big beta for legion. You collected money to fund the development for Legion from the Dust players.
And recent presentation aswell confirmed it when the devs talked about this and that in Legion and when they had beeing asked about how much of that stuff is going to be in dust they went quiet. I wont care for this game anymore even if you pulled a event out of the hat with a gazillion SP to earn.
Dust getting orted to PC. Stop playing now and dont feed CCP any more money!

I really can't see a wipe. They want to throw us in the sandbox. Meaning the few people with way to many SP should be spread over the entire universe. So you are less likely to run into overwhelming Vets. And with the expansion for eve that universe is going to get bigger. Pilots are going to be able to find new planets and will need our support to take/hold them. I personally think they might lose a lot of console gamers with the switch though. But hey at least the kb/m user will stop QQ.

People misquoting me, I said exactly the same thing as I said here on IRC.
Hey CCP Logibro, is it such a difficult move to take dust to the PS4? It seems a logical answer with legion on the horizon. One would think Sony would be pushing for such a migration with the lack of titles currently on PS4. Dust514 is a perfect project for the PS4 with the new tech that they haven't even begin to use yet. Letting dust die would be absolutely foolish when you have the market cornered like this! I have a PS4 and I still play dust on PS3 while my wife uses the PS4 for movie watching! Sony and CCP need to see the potential in a migration to go along with legion, and the potential for really making eve and dust merge into cross console activity! With the PS4's video chat capabilities this would gain players from all genres both on PC and and console!
Move the game, or watch it loose weight in the player interest department?! The cloaks didn't help player retention at all?! The dedicated and invested are the only ones still playing dust, by the way, if you haven't noticed?! I consistantly fight the same guys multiple times a day, from the same corps?! If we are to even talk well about dust to other potential players, the "harry potter" foolishness must go in this game?! This game is for the hardcore player no doubt. Right now lower lvl players are in constant isk grind mode with nothing coming their way in terms of events or new things like legion?! If dust isn't balanced and about battling as a unit by 2.0, with an active trade market, it's all but done?!
Active trade market, open world pve, balance, fix cloaks, and work the PS4 migration part. Then this game will truly take off no question as you guys ideas and creativity can not be matched by the call of duty creators. They can't keep up. Thank you

Take all that away and there is little incentive to start all over again. it would break the promise (I don't care if you call it a "new game", it's the replacement for DUST), and it would be the last broken promise for me.

Make a public promise of character preservation and commit to it.
Very simple.
Anything less just projects a lack of drive to accomplish what is necessary to preserve CCP's reputation. |

If things simply didn't work out as planned with the PS3, I think almost everyone can understand, but there were no attempts to lower expectations or explain the limits thst were being bumped against and explain that there was a way forward, instead everything was done to deceive us that Dust was here for the long haul and that we should keep investing in it. That was wrong, that is why so many people are mad and so few happy about the prospect of the new game.

Let us all pray sony decides to hire a new studio for MAG2 on PS4 that way we'll never need a game like Dust. MAG was fun just lacked updates, under another studio with updates and more content a MAG2 would be freggin awesome. Let's not even kid ourselves the only reason we played Dust was because MAG died and Dust reminded everyone of MAG.
ps. i sadi MAG so much that the word has lost meaning and now sounds weird |

If theres no possibility in transferring a Dust char to eve legion, I hope you guys now that you cut your own flesh.
You are developers in the gaming industry and players are not the non-vocal type of person. I am terribly sure, if theres no way to get my char into legion, I won't be the only guy doing my very best to disrupt eve:legion from the get go.

wait so let me get this straight, we've been playing this game for 2 years some have spent money on it and now all of a sudden its getting scrapped and turn into a pc game? what must i spend more cash to buy a high end gaming pc just to play dust?
so in a sense CCP conned everyone into thinking that they are making a game for the ps3 and promising plenty of other things, then get players to spend cash on it and at FF announce that they want to get rid of it and put it on pc?
i've never been so mad at CCP, i've stuck with dust through thick and thin and then BOOM keynotes its like CCP kicking us in the balls then robbing us. so well done CCP well done, the first game i played from you guys and this happens. well suffice to say that once your "legion: comes out and dust is dead, i'll never try any of your games just because you as a company are full of S-H-I-T.
YOU HAVE BEEN SCANNED!!!

Beyond what people think, yea, CCP has the data.. But how can you get new players when you transfer 50 to 60 million SP characters to a new game? The impact wouldn't really be felt. The reason It is now is that the remnants of the player base mostly have high sp counts, which will be diluted with bigger player counts.

They wouldn't dare stiff us, right? I don't trust anything they say after today. How could you? I mean they LIED about the Dust Keynote being about Dust. They KNEW they were killing Dust. There are people who spent thousands of dollars going to Iceland because of a game they knew they were killing. This sounds hyperbolic, but they are deceitful and there is no other way to put it. They could have saved people real world dollars by being upfront about this. I'll never be able to forgive CCP for that. Not to mention the dollars I've spent on this game. And Legion is a different game, the AUR issue is null and void as well as any problem they might have had with the BPO reimbursement.

Please stop treating us like we are idiots! Transferring us over is easy NOT hard! Let me spend oh 2 seconds thinking about it. 1) Char names easy add them to the new game first 2) isk transfer, convert and put in account and call it whatever isk , disk , l$ whatever, 3)SP same as isk convert and put in account, 4) loot a) convert to dust isk equivalent and then convert to new game isk b) convert to new game items 5) AUR same 6) BPO same if have in new game, if not convert to aur and then convert aur to new game.
Now for code, ummm lets see oh I know lets us the scripts we use for respecs they work and poof everything is done!
Now lets deal with Sony, if their truly is a policy question about who owns this stuff ccp vs sony (which I doubt their is) then ccp could still do all of the above except for item 1) and still be legal.
Now lets see them try and tell us how hard this would be and see them double speak to us!

So you can't won't be able to confirm player form 514 and legion are the same players to allocate a certain amount of SP, even if they supply the same email address. Ballacks. SP is technically easier. SP is more a design question, tied into how the progression system changes.
Work out what 1 year of progression in Legion is. For people with 1 year of progression in dust give them the equivalent in Legion. Adjust depending on SP.
Would that be possible?

the same way they get new players in eve even though 10yr vets (like me) have over 140m sp. SP isn't whats driving players away, its the broke a** game mechanics, matchmaking and new player experience (or lack thereof) thats driving new and old players away.
to shaft the folk who supported DUST by buying merc packs and even the EVE collectors edition would be a really bad decision and the way things are going for CCP i dont think they can handle another hit due to 'bad decisions'

It shouldn't come to this Locking Bro. You queers sit up there in Iceland and laugh at us PS3 players. You knew all along what direction this game was going. Yes I am bitter and hurt. The hours I've spent to only be told the game is going away. You'll get yours in the end. When CCP does get it, I will be the first one there pointing and laughing.

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. )

They announced it now because the sooner Dust dies off, the more people they can divert to Legion.

Uh, isn't it as easy as so and so has an account with X lifetime SP in Dust.
X lifetime X SP = Y lifetime SP in Legion.
Thus so and so starts off with Y lifetime SP in 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?

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 could 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. |

Seriously though, best of luck retaining customers. Looking forward to CCP's "official" plan for calming everyone down after concurrently lowering the price of Omega boosters and having 2x/3x SP events leading up to FanFest.
I'm just hoping Sony doesn't hold our account data hostage until you repay all the refund requests Sony is going to be wading through.
I have faith in you guys, but your track record indicates that you are more interested in customer acquisition than retention...
Although I do like that Legion looks like the game we have been describing on the forums. Not sure any othe firm has found a way to get consultants to PAY for the opportunity to provide good ideas.
Well played, New Eden.
Today is the sort of day where the sun only comes up to humiliate you.

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.

alten hilt wrote: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 a feeling that this is the reason we have seen no CPM1 voting or any attempt to actually finish Dust by CCP. You have hit the nail on the head Sir. Thank-you, I am down to one controller from 4 this morning due to my displeasure with the announcement. CCP should respond but we all know how often they look at the Dust forums, anyone have a link to the Legion forums?

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?
We'll give you all your SP and assets and you'll get to have dinner with the hot chick that's doing the voice for Valkerie

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?
character data is all tranq side. just as we can see and view and chat with peopel in eve, so i sall out data and its also why i cant name a character in dust the same as one in eve. they're all in the same data tables. the ps3 client holds the stuff ps3 needs. its the way EVE can run on macs and pc's of different specs. you just need a client to access tranquility. all this talk of moving chars over is pure BS personally. i can fire up any ps3 in the world that has dust on it. enter my psn details and my char is there without any save game on the ps3. just as i can log in to eve on any pc or mac and my char will be there. don't be fooled by dismissive comments about "its difficult to move them over" the data for the char is already there

Some of us are professionnal Game developper and understand the burden of platform migration for whatever the political reason higher management has decided with the real numbers in hands.
You should not have released this information at fanfest, I can only think of how the duster that went there feel right now. Even if there is a ratio of SP given to character transfer, Dust atm, is only that, we do not play to play, we farm most of the time. While doing this we stick with friends (the real reason to stick around). If too much people feel that there is no reason to farm anymore because there is no long term goal anymore and you drop our character in the void, people will flee and you will keep this stigmatae with the next product. What garantee will we have you do not do it again ?
The customer trust right now is in jeopardy, tell the upper management not to repeat the mistake they did in Eve, so that some heads do not roll on the floor like last time ! |

...
I read SOME Gamer/PC websites' interviews with Legion's "Producer" Jean-Charles Gaudechon. I understand he's new on the job, and comes from EA's mindset on shooter games and PC games... but he speaks almost back-handedly about Dust 514 like a kid talking about his "grandparents"....(you know, "I luv them, but they're the PAST and they were just the wrong people to do this right"). Someone thinking like he does CAN'T successfully build Dust's full identity. To do that, the devs were right---you HAD to pull it off of PC and format it in the viscreral console-gamer atmosphere.
Yes, there will be a river of underlying contemptuous-cracks, even inside CCP's studios, about how Legion will be Dust 514 finally built as intended. ....I just don't think PC nor the mindset of Legion's producer is going to make that happen. If Legion does become a happy release (at least 6 months away before we know anything), it is likely to be a Capsuleer game, only in a SUIT instead of a Spaceship.
That's not what Dust 514 was intended to be or was developing into. Dust was to produce a realm of Fighting-Mercenaries. You contract via Capsuleers to help them take or defend owned districts (even PvE add-ons of this were going to be based around an owned or sought-after district.), and THAT is your business. The contract-theme never conceptualized a combat-merc prospecting around on her own.... there's no way for her to be transported from one planet to another except as cattle on a warbarge during a Capsuleer's Contract.
Legion sounds like it primary goal is building that "sandbox" for us. CELESTA is on her own, hanging out at 'home', wants some ISK or gear, (why can't she buy it on the markeplaces from the comfort of her sofa like in Dust, forgot her userID?), visits planet surfaces by way of a warp-teleport unit of some sort, combs for stuff sticking out of the ground, bumps into or finds out about (via a starmap-search-engine device) dangerous drones or other players to compete against. Maybe hears about a fight going on somewhere, and joins in to have some kill-fun. Maybe just an explorer's career path of scavenging for stuff....
THAT's being a "character" from EVE ONline, not being a character from Dust 514. It's not the military-merc who's rigid business is slay-on-hire, war-on-contract, pay my price and I'll burn whole moons!
Legion reads like Eve's privateer aspect getting it's own title, it's NOT Dust 514's function finally somehow being accomplished via PC. Sounds like Eve Online's gameplay component is being slipped out of a Pod and into a Surface Suit. And good for them. It's about fun.
But it's being a privateer. Privateering is cool, and it's what Eve Online allowed with spaceships, but I don't find the walking around danger zones prospecting for my profit appealing enough to want to pay their game. I'm a true merc, and I don't do "miner's digging" for the pot of gold I seek... I want to to get paid for killing and snatching....in bulk wholesale (OMG, that sounds evil). 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 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. |

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?)
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!

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.
This matters. Please make sure you do what you can. You own the characters and stats, etc. Make it happen. |

I can't speak for everyone, but all I care about is SP transfer. Assets I can accrue again quickly, but SP takes time, and I have invested aurum (thus, real world money) into boosters to have a decent rate of progression, and I want my money's worth.

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.

What? You got the same info as everyone else. Yes the say its diffacult but not impossible. And they have as much to lose as we do with no transfer. But there is no black and white here, so STFU unless you are adding to the conversation.

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.

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.

Dammit. I had such hopes for this. I even have boosters going through, like, August or September. I put my money down on this bet and lost. Bummer. It's been a good ride.

Any policy issues should have been resolved months before Legion was announced. We need a guarantee from CCP that player progression (lifetime SP) will be somehow equated to Legion. ISK be dammed.
I would also would like to hear that Legion development will be following TDD. Many of the bugs in DUST, especially in 1.8, feels like this wasn't the case in the past. |

Eh, I played for $200 since last July. That's a pretty damned reasonable return on my investment already. Frankly, I'm just tired of seeing how their customers are handled, and I will deal with it the old fashioned way.

As a person whose family has 4 Dren sets, at least 7 Raven suits, at least 7 Covenant Sets, at least 7 Sever suits, and uncounted amount of Aurum for boosters on all the different characters; I put money into this game. How can I trust you to put as much investment into the game as I have when you are jumping ship to a separate gane? Even worse, it seems to be the same game just on a different server.

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.
Question: Why does the progression system, items and Isk all have to work differently? Just because the new director wants everything different? |

RIGHT? It sounds like legion could be done in half the time, but they don't care about player feedback, it's so stupid.

They used Dust as a pilot and made some money doing it. Smart no? just not friendly to player base.

Well this is ******* BS.... To all those DUSTies like me that stuck by CCP why they tuned this game, and waited with high hopes for a FPS to dominate the console world with its great ideas and vast options.... WE HAVE BEEN SHAFTED!
CCP go on about loving our feedback and giving the community a great game (while taking all our money in the process). To just turn around and **** us over... I am beyond ******* pissed off I seen CCP called crooks in this topic, I agree.

But we just honestly don't know if we can do so yet. you owe us refunds.... crooks.... Why, exactly? There are two possibilities here: 1. Project Legion is considered a completely new game 2. Project Legion is an extension of Dust514 and they transfer over items you purchased Either way, how is a refund relevant? If it's a new game, then it's a new game. If it's the same game and they transfer what you bought (or giving you comparable deliverables if an exact one for one transfer is not available), then you aren't loosing anything. Other thoughts: 1. There is no release date for this new project. There could be years until this comes out. 2. If you get value for the service purchased, then a refund is more akin to gettting paid to play the game. The purpose of a refund is when you get no value. I cannot imagine you would put in money into something repeatedly if you got no value for it (if you make only one purchase, then that is the exception to this concept). I have spent a few hundred dollars as well. I enjoyed what I got from my purchases. I don't see a need for a refund, and won't be asking for one. Being upset is fine - you are entitled to your emotions. Once those have run their course, I would suggest looking back again. And for those that have verbally attacked people over this, shame on you. (not in reference to anyone specifically, just a general comment)
I don't understand why after all the crap ccp has pulled on us with dust you fanbois still swing your d*cks for them.... how much backstabbing and lying and utter bullshite will you fanbois put up with before you wake the hell up and realize your ccp gods are just smooth talking thieves?

Convert experience by taking a record of all isk and SP earned under a batch text file, run that through the system to chart over the characters, then switch over the character titles to the newly created files. Hand out ID#'s to players so you can more reliably connect them across the media without having to directly link the two. If someone wants to transfer, they simply enter their ID to create a character via a web page and it reads from the batch file.
The experience system if SP is to be implemented would then be scaled by %, and no need to really change the ISK, you could have it as an alternate currency and call it KSI or something, which would then be convertible to normal currency within a few weeks.
Red5 a very new company already did transfers like this, complete with a currency overhaul AND conversion to the new system, and they did them well. CCP is MUCH larger than Red5 and so this should be simplistic.
Items held that are extras would be converted to ISK directly, except for special items like BPO's which could be turned into redemption coupons so that one could regain the BPO in it's new form when it becomes available...
The only actual boundary is legal spacing between Sony and the character titles.

Maybe i already answered but song owns the rights to the data. CCP cannot transfer anything or take any info over because it doesn't belong to them. You don't get stuff refunded or any sort of bonus because they won't be allowed or they will get sued. Logi bro stated it and its been discussed. Sony owns the data |

Having a starting point with high level and low level players would be the best way to start the game...
Think about it. It's the best way to start off with real balance. We won't need to go through growing pains 2 years into legion when the game has a problem bring in newer players while there are a ton of vets. Starting off the game with vets means less dev time wasted. We can avoid the problem altogether and get the balance between newplayers and vets right from the start.

With good matchmaking and PVE content this shouldnt be a problem. Has WOW had new player problems, just because it had the first masses of lvl 60 guys after the first few weeks? No it hadnt. It ran for many more years successfully.
Most here seem to think in terms of Dust, as it is now. Dust as it is doesnt allow for more players than the rock-bottom state it has had for its lifetime. Turning it down wont cause high losses (cause there hasnt been many profits to begin with). Letting it stand in the way of a new better game would.
The answer to your complaint is PvE. Always.

Dust needs to be released on PC, NOT LEGION. Let us have Dust 514 on Ps3 for a year, and then close it down and port dust 514 to PC. Don't throw away all of the work you've done, it's still unreal 3. People invested in a game that will last forever, this sets a terrible example... Before today I would never of said that something like, EvE 2.0 as a seperate 2nd MMO would come out and run aside the original. Like EverQuest and Everquest2. But here we are, 1 year into Dust and the game is getting a spinoff...
So why not, Eve online 2.0! You can still play the old Eve Online, or you can play the new super awesome Eve Online, but you have to start over from level 1. JUST NO.
I can't believe my EvE brothers aren't seeing the issue here... Also what's stopping legion from being replaced again in 4 years? Having a wipe 4 years from now does no get me interested in Legion...

Dust Isk isn't so important in reguards to transfer I think. Awarded items like the Black Eagle suits, and anything thats worth AUR can either be transferred in some capacity even if only as a placeholder token to keep track of the fact that you had it, while AUR items can be refunded for their value. It would be a good time to get rid of all those AUR BPOs CCP seems to hate.

The only difference is, you won't have your rewards for being with us since there were only 100 people on at a time.... >.>
Come on CCP ;_; Being part of Mordo's trials was suppose to mean something... Don't pull a NGE... ;_; don't revamp the sill system, go back to skrimish 1.0 when dust had the same eve system as Eve online. If it's going to be on PC don't use the dumb console SP progression system! GIVE US DUST ON PC.
I can't believe Legion won't even have levels1-5, just unlockable nodes. *sigh* That's not the game I signed up for as an eve player when you got me in CCP... Bring back the closed beta skill progression system, it was simple, no one was confused.

I think we al understand that the rerelease of dust have some issues. We also understand that the economiy of the game can never progress if you don't do dramatic changes to it with al the accumulated crap we al have.
But the how you guys did this is a god dam joke.
What about the fu+ºking ppl that went to island? Or the sale of stuff just days before this?
About isk transfers and item transfers it would have been way more honest to say somthing like this. Due to the fact that that the economiy have been broken so long we don't c any way to transfer that to dust 2,0 ( legion )
About the SP We don't know how the transfer of SP is going to work sence this is going to be somthing TOTALY new, maybee not a strait sp transfer but given a higher "lvl" start based on your curent sp.
Yeah have a open and honest dabate with your players insted of giving then the middle finger

About isk transfers and item transfers it would have been way more honest to say somthing like this. Due to the fact that that the economiy have been broken so long we don't c any way to transfer that to dust 2,0 ( legion )
About the SP We don't know how the transfer of SP is going to work sence this is going to be somthing TOTALY new, maybee not a strait sp transfer but given a higher "lvl" start based on your curent sp.
Yeah have a open and honest dabate with your players

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.
Really, I am thinking that SP is the only real aspect of what people are hoping not to lose. A years worth of grinding out SP, spending IRL money to boost it. It is a lot of investment. Compensation in the form of Unallocated SP to Eve Legion seems like a reasonable request. That way it is just a issue of SP value not having to assign SP to specific skill trees for each and every character.
This can be done by just referencing that character's total SP when the name is transferred over.
Create a Eve Legion account using the same Email as your PSN account > Select which character you want to transfer > Character Name and Total SP value of the character is transferred to the new platform. Seems pretty easy to me.

LOL, hmm, the special agreement with Sony that made DUST514 possible means all but the PSN id linked to an account should be on CCP servers, granted that would cause significant issues.
Most apparent fallout of this is people will and already are leaving DUST, followed by Sony not offering the rapid deployment that DUST enjoyed so CCP not only screwed us the players but future developers. CCP was given every possible advantage possible to make DUST514 succeed, how tragic...
My son as well as myself do not play FPS games on PC never will, so Legion is a non-starter for us. |

What new player is going to want to enter a game where they'll have no chance for 6 to 8 months? I know I wouldn't not a game like Dust where you are punished badly for being killed and the lack of currency you have in-game makes life even harder. I say fresh restart CCP might lose the 1500 vets they got from Dust but will gain atleast 5 to 15 times more in new blood that'll stay with the game cause it is enjoyable. |

what? Im sure the only problen there is its that to log in into our D514 characters we go across the PSN, which say if we are the owners or not of that character, and I suppose CCP cant take that data about accounts from Sony... but anyways market, characters and mail its on the CCPs side. They can easily make a web page special for this, and send to every D514 character a Ingame message with a link that identifies that user and links he to the web to later continue the steps to "recover" the account, same way a lot of games do to recover passwords using the mail, just that 4 this I mean using D514 mail, not other real ones (Hotmail, yahoo, etc..)

How the **** can you say, "trust me" with a straight ******* face Logibro? Are you kidding man? You guys must be getting some good laughs. I can't wait until you all are looking for jobs. I will celebrate like it is my birthday.
"Trust me"...LMAO....I wouldn't trust CCP with the task of putting color in the game Pong.

Such typical apologist stuff. Expected more from you. My mistake. Life is the longest thing we all will ever do, and its too long to not fight some against the tyranny while in it.

Honestly? Nothing in comparison to how the cpms and ccp has been running things, especially when it comes to spending months removing game breaking bugs and meanwhile defending those descisions. The sourness of the community is a pure reflection of what ccp has been giving us. And lets not get into how many players have left the game over time. And lets not get into the DUST keynote which happened to not be about DUST at all.
