I'd summarize my feelings like this:
It takes a long time to build trust in a company/brand/game, and only an instant to destroy it.
I hope it's simply emotion speaking -- and I don't regret the time or money I've invested in Dust/CCP -- but I doubt I will ever give CCP the opportunity to burn me a second time.
How are you burned??? They tried to make it work on the PS3. Well the PS3 can't hack it....and it will be seriously outdated hardware before long. If you want Dust to be a game that can persist for years and grow and achieve its full potential it has to be on PC. And from PC it can be ported to PS4 potentially.
You made all your efforts to develop your character for nothing? Logibro already said that if they possibly can transfer characters over from Dust to Dust 2, they will. They're not sure if or how it would work but they hope it will and will try. What more can you ask for??
I can understand the frustration of a lot of players that don't have a PC and/or don't want to lose their characters' progress but seriously, get over yourself just a little bit and have some appreciation for the fact that they are actually trying to make Dust into something truly awesome and competitive with all the upcoming next gen games.
No offense to those who don't own gaming computers--they are a significant investment--but Dust should be awesome enough to require more than what a PS3 can offer. To be a real working MMOFPS that has high level graphics, smooth connections, large battles, EVE integration, and all the rest, CCP needs it to be on PC so that they can do what only they can do. They've been stifled by the PS3's and Sony's limitations, but now they're free to make an amazing game.
As for skill point carryover/compensation for real money investment, I'm sure CCP will try their best to give us something to work with to start off. But hey, it's a new game! You have to start with a new character. If it's not enough of an improvement on Dust 514 then go play Destiny, but if it turns out to be an awesome realization of what Dust could be and is something totally new in gaming (which looks likely to me) then be grateful that this game that you love has become so much more, instead of focusing solely on the fact that you are inconvenienced. Change is hard people and sacrifices have to be made but it's worth it! |
