Heres how it happens.
CCP said for years they would add atmospheric flight, planetary exploration, feet-on-the-ground content to EVE, waht did we get instead? DUST 514 which they kept claiming "wasnt a blatant lie, because look, it totally has EVE next to the name, so its still technically *IN* EVE and not a lie" despite the fact it was on an entirely separate console inaccessible to msot of the EVE playerbase.
Now DUST and all of its "Future Features" are going to be in Legion "Oh but its still ground combat, its just the evolution of DUST, it doesnt matter that its on a completely separate platform and you cant transfer data, were sure youll love it adn the tagalong arena lobby CoD shooter that is DUST 514"
What should have happened from the beginning is to have DUST 514 start as an integrated part of the EVE client, separate skill queue and everything, with DUST features accessible on unsubscribed accounts (just no spaceship content unless subscribed). This would have allowed deep integration off the bat. hen you could have expanded out to the console market.
This solution would have avoided alienating 2 separate playerbases, supposedly (according to the whole reason Legion is being developed) would have avoided most if not all of the development issues, would have kept EVE itself as the quintessential Sci-Fi universal experience, and at the end of the day cause a shitton less grief.
Instead, youv'e pieced out valuable parts of the EVE experience in a way that will rpevent ANY of them from ever being fully integrated, due to your belief they must all be able to stand alone. you've lied repeatedly. youve carouselled around a valuable piece of the EVE world. and frankly, I think people are getting tired of the concept that to experience "the full EVE" they would need multiple separate non-interacting accounts, and several thousand dollars in different platforms. Hell, didnt Soundwave say before he left, if it was up to him and his team, Things like mining would have godawful minigames, and PI would be ripped out in favor of a tablet minigame?
what next, an EVE 2 with all the fixes weve always wanted?
EVE should be ONE world, not two games//one universe, ONE game, ONE world, ONE community, but you seem adamant to keep us all separated and chasing around projects like our time, progression, and trust is cheap and meaningless. |

The devs have shown themselves to be nice guys and CCP is a business but they value their gamers as much as they do making money. I think it very likely that they will try to compensate people who spent real money. But bro you can't keep your BPOs. Super Dust will be too different in that aspect. Every dropsuit will be a blueprint or something. Items won't carry over exactly, but they've earned our trust enough I think to know that they will try to do something for us. People cry out betrayal but they're just doing what they have to do to make a great game that will last. No reason to think they will bite the hand that fed them.
I just want my Templar suit to soem degree, thsoe BPO's were one time things from the collectors edition, and itd be beyond uncool to take that away |
