Hey guys,

So following on from all of the questions I've seen on the forums, I grabbed CCP Rouge for a quick chat and we wanted to add a few words on the introduction of Project Legion and how it relates to DUST 514.

"Today's discussions have brought a flurry of excitement and nerves, and I wanted to address some of those feelings here. Project Legion is at the moment just that, a project in early development. Our, and by our I mean CCP's, goals, have always been to create a persistent universe where your footprints are eternally preserved in the sand. This has always been our strategy and is fundamentally important to us. Because it is still so early for Project Legion we have not yet discovered exactly what form this will take, should the project grow we will do whatever we can to bring you and your footsteps with us."

I've also grabbed him for a live interview on EVE TV in just a moment to answer some of your questions, so make sure to tune in for that too.

2 years

2 years, And all you came up with is a new game I need a new console (PC) to play.

This fanfest

This was supposed to be DUST 2.0

this was supposed to be player market

This was supposed to be PvE

This was supposed to be PC 2.0

This was supposed to be pilot suits and new game modes

And yet, all I got from fan fest was

This was all for nothing...

Well said sir... but why do that when it's so easy to jump to conclusions?

Seriously though, just like a battle, let the situation develop a little bit to see what's really happening.

I'll watch if you're going to execute him and the CPM live on air...

That isn't funny.

That isn't funny.

Its hilarious !!

That really isn't funny. I personally hate what ccp is doing with dust right now, but making a joke about someone's death is a terrible thing.

When injustice came out the person who designed harly quin got death threats because she looked more human and not like a cartoon. Jokes like this can become very serious and shouldn't be taken lightly.

i care more about collectables you can delete 40 000 000sp but my bpos and collectables are precious to me as i spent 400 $ on something i liked

Except it wasn't a death threat, which I agree are not something that should happen over a video game.

I also agree it's not funny, but not because of the content in the joke.

Jokes about anything in life is perfectly fine as long as it's an actual joke.

I'll watch if you're going to execute him and the CPM live on air...

Did this EVE TV interview happen? I missed it.

Let's give them the benefit of the doubt for a bit. 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.

Seriously? Do you really believe this gibberish?

Trust? What trust? The trust of promises that have fallen short? Of constant promises to fix thing, add things, etc yet these days never come?

Perhaps the trust of a working product? Not hotfixes ontop of hotfixes. Mostly because by their own words their Dev team has been busy elsewhere.

Value their gamers? That is the biggest joke. What have they done to show their gamers they have any value? Listened to the community? Implemented desperately needed components into the game?

The only thing they are going to try to do is sell you more crap via the Dust store to fund what is NOT Dust.

Anyone who thinks they will continue to update and work on Dust when they have a new project child is delusional. Especially with resources spread thin.

They could still salvage Dust by moving it to PS4, which is just as capable running their new toy as the PC. Dust doesn't have to sit on the PS3 system and rot, unless they want it to die.

They have repeatedly bitten the hand that feeds them. Perhaps you have been absent for most of the past updates of late?

This is a pre emptive move to start closing down Dust. In the process they have spat in the faces of it's supporters, fans and have decided to totally alienate their console player base because of superficial numbers that don't exist.

Saberwing this is really poor stuff. You should just go ahead and get him to answer one important question "Will dust players be able to transfer their characters to Legion".. that's pretty much it. Once we get an answer to that, I can guarantee you it will be determinant in deciding whether people continue playing Dust - which lets be realistic, will have no new content until it is shut down... maybe a stability or bug fix here and there... but considering all your development time has been on a new game, and will continue to be that way - please don't insult people's intelligence and don't ruin the crediblity that you still have by trying to say "oh we're still working on Dust" - if you'd been working on it, we would've seen something today... we didn't... so there's nothing to show, that is the bottom line. Some timelines would be nice too.
