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.
This statment by CCP Logibro rings true to what Jebus McKing tweeted "CCP just killed the last thing keeping Dust alive: Hope"
For years CCP has said that Dust will be fully integrated into Eve, and for 2 years hope has held us onto Dust for that to happen. Now, we have a statment from CCP Logibro talking about porting over players from dust to legion. Atleast Dust was a free to play game, but still kinda wish CCP would pay us for beta testing Dust for 2 years so that legion can be fully integrated into Eve.
I ROLFMAO at anyone that bought origin suits, that was CCP rining the last bit of money out of players before they announced legion.
I'll see you guys in pubs until they shut the server down and near the end, lets all go out in style with quafe scout suits and balac's GAR-21 assault rifles. Last few weeks good for everyone to run officer gear before shut down?

They also knew this was going to happen when they put Omega Boosters on the market weeks ago.
They are crooks and there is NOTHING that anyone can say to prove otherwise. I'll be unsubbing four Eve accounts as well.

Thats what I'm talking about in the end of my post. Maybe a week or 2 before server shut down, we all roll out our officer gear and Q-Sync FW or just PUB bash.. either one. Just go out in style right before the end. |

There is just no reason to continue playing DUST514 anymore, even if they are going to continue 'working' on it.
DUST514 is just not a good enough game to exist without a greater vision of it becoming something awesome in the future.

Being outright hoodwinked in the ingame market is one thing. But the Fan Fest deceit of "Dust Keynote" is the thing that bothers me.
I feel really sorry for Zatara and the others who paid to go to Iceland.

I feel bad for all console gamers that went to Iceland just to get EPICLY trolled by CCP at a dust keynote. First that took their money, then they hooked them in, then got them to spend more money to show up in their country just so CCP could "spit" right into their faces and say "gotcha nose". |

To say I'm extremely disappointed in CCP would be an understatement.
My only hope, at this point, is I run into all the new friends I've made (Beard, Thor, and the rest of my ML brothers) in other games going forward.

I dont see an active player drop yet http://eve-offline.net/?server=dust
Will we see it? I think that the kind of players playing dust up until now are so rare and quirky, they wont even care and go on like they always did. We are and have always been just a statistical irregularity, not a player base. A true playerbase must be much much larger, and maybe legion will accomplish that.
Even if every Dust player quit now, they wont have lost anything, because they never made profit off of dust anyway. Let die what must die. Make place for something better.
The answer to your complaint is PvE. Always.

I hope you enjoy Eve: Legion. If you buy even a single aurum for it you are a sucker though.

Destiny Beta on PS/4 in September anyone? Yessir. Looks like a PS4 is in my near future--screw a graphics card.
I'll also be trying Destiny and ESO--at least I know I can trust Bethesda to produce an awesome, immersive experience.

A different type of grind -- PvE.
It's more of a 4 player squad co-op PvE FPS rather than a multiplayer FPS like Dust.
Drop me a line when you get the PS4 and we can hop on a party (i.e. VoIP via PS4) and I can talk you through it. |

I don't know what went on at fanfekt, but I hope to see and remember some of these names in upcoming shooters or mmo anything. I'm pretty much reign omega on anything I play except ffxiv...unless it's gamertags specific then I'm always bloodreign (insert Roman numeral). If dust is gonna die, I'll be burning proto and running tanks until it does lol.

I for one is happy that Dust 514 is going to be Project Legion on the PC instead.
I am how ever dissatisfied by the way CCP has handled this. There not being a clear answer to whether or our Dust characters will be carried over means that there is little to no reason in continuing to play Dust.

Dissatisfied, doesn't even begin to express how I feel about CCP. Not because Dust is dead (it was coming), but because of the way it was done. For the past few months we have had some major sp events which lead to adverts for omega boosters only to later find out that, if you did spend your money on aurum to get these boosters... you just wasted your money because this game is going to be dead. Thankfully I did not spend any money on aurum during these events, but that just shows how greedy CCP is.
The biggest thing that CCP did that really just chaps my as$ (granted it didn't happen to me, but this is still f*cked up) was the constant encourgement for dust players to buy a fanfest ticket and go to iceland (which they offer a link that provides packages to include travel and lodging) only to tell these same players that did go to fanfest "your game is dead, legion will replace it, and legion is for PC players only. Basically, "hey you dumb as$ console players that were stupid enough to buy a ticket here... F*CK. YOU." CCP just pulled a "bonus round" on those console players.
I almost did go to iceland and not only am I glad I didn't buy aurum for these events, but thankful I didn't go to fanfest. Although, if I was there, I think I might draw a "D" on that pretty new monument CCP had made. "D" for Dust... ya, I recently watched vendetta. |

You should go now and get one of the Devs drunk. After a few rounds of sex you could draw a D on his forehead.

Hmmm... now, unfortunately for the rest of you, I feel justified in essentially having left Dust shortly after BF4 came out. I really have only enough time in my life to become proficient with a single game and with BF4 I know what I'm getting into. Did it have problems when it first came out? Just like Dust, yes it did. Are they pretty much solved now? Yep. Although BF4s problems were solved in a fraction of the time it took Dust to get up to snuff, but I digress.
I left Dust because I really didn't like this free-to-play-but-not-really-free-if-you-want-to-succeed (if only the 'suckas' bought arum, CCP woulda pulled the plug much sooner -- unless, as rumor has it, Sony paid CCP) model and over a year of playing through imbalances, corrections, (and their associated 'consolation respecs'), glitches and waiting for the 'it will get better' to hit that sweet spot (which for me never really happened.)
Apparently, Legion is the 'real Dust 514'. We helped CCP figure out the kind of game they really want to have. Those of us that bought aurum (and whatever money Sony threw their way) were the ultimate suckers thinking that all this time, effort and money would lead to a golden period of play -- just like in Eve. Didn't everyone secretly think that a next-gen version of Dust (Legion?) would end up on the PS4? It was a logical move, right?
But, nope. We were the 'practice girlfriends' -- the 'starter wives' -- and now that CCP has grown up and figured out what they want in an FPS, they are going back to that safe harbor they know: the PC. So, I guess if you plan on going to PC gaming (and all the additional periodic HW upgrade costs involved, plus all the money you will throw to CCP even if it's 'free to play'), good luck and been nice playing with ya.

Im sure when guys play cod or Battlefail you dont ***** and complain. But when you play Dust alot of compaining, negative, and BS. Yet you call yourself a Gamer. Gamers dont complain they enjoy a game. Ive had a great experience in Dust. No lag, no problems.
If you run proto gear, prepare to suffer the consequences. You've been warned.
