DUST Search - DUST Fanfest Player Here

It's really hard for me to explain things. I never heard of CCP until I became involved in DUST 514. A free FPS that looked like a solid game. I really enjoyed being able to be a part of this from the ground up as a beta player and all. Sure the game had its faults, but they were being fixed and with the players help, my help, we shaped it into something solid. I felt like I was part of a strange family, sure a digital one, but family.

Then I hear about this Fanfest and CCP really pushing DUST players to come up to Iceland and enjoy the party on top of the world. A party with the rest of the family and to meet EVE players as well as other DUST players. I am a family man and really wanted my family to experience the CCP and EVE family. We flew up here to join in on the Fanfest activities. My wife and little boy. Hopefully will try to get him another sibling to pick on later this year! (still trying)

At first things were great. It was interesting to walk around and introduce yourself as a DUST only player and everyone was so friendly. I meet a ton of people. Things were great. Finally, after all the other stuff we get to the DUST presentation. For a moment I felt special. This was a presentation about me and the rest of my friends who play DUST. A presentation for us and to become closer to the rest of this family here at CCP and with EVE. Everyone around me knew I was a DUST only player it seemed.

Never in all my life have I been this utterly embarrassed to be somewhere. To really feel executed on the spot and all eyes on you. I felt like the biggest fool in the universe. My wife just covered her mouth and looked at me with pity. It felt as if everyone was looking at me for a reaction.

Every single moment after that it seemed like my family and I had leprosy. People steered clear and ended conversations as fast as possible and vanished. I just don't know how else to explain it. I have never in all my life felt this betrayed and publicly humiliated.

I wish I never came up here.

Most developers don't promise a 10-year plan and encourage you to purchase "permanent" items (BPOs) and skill boosters for long-term character development, then cancel it a year later. You're also assuming nothing will carry over, which is just plain stupid to assume as that is not how CCP has every operated in the past. Last I heard from CCP LogiBro, CCP "doesn't know" whether or not they can reward high-SP Dust players with progression in Legion. In any case, I'm almost certain our BPOs will not carry over, given the new economic model proposed for Legion- infinite items for free is going to be a big no-no. So, until I'm proven wrong, yes, I'm going to assume that nothing will carry over. Go ahead, CCP- prove me wrong. Also, bump. I saw that rail rifle in the Legion gameplay demo. I have rail rifle Ops V. Character transfers to Legion kthnx.

I have no desire to get a PC just to continue my EVE FPS experience, even though I have met some pretty cool people through this game. It's unfortunate that CCP has decided to wreck what was potentially a lasting and fantastic game for me, but what they did to the entire community - let alone the OP - is just unconscionable. For shame.

I haven't been on the forums in a while and now I'm hearing about something called Legion? it's dust, but not dust, and it's not going to be on a console? Wut? And that dust is just a beta test for Legion, but we won't get to play Legion unless we go to PC? Please tell me I have it all wrong, because this is not good news. --__-- Thale groupie (not the gun, but the man). My other car is Utena.

The whole team has gone off to work on Legion, which may not see the light of day for years. "Not good news" indeed. I saw that rail rifle in the Legion gameplay demo. I have rail rifle Ops V.

Someone at CCP should have had the foresight to make the Legion announcement before Fanfest, to prevent this kind of travesty. Period. Min Logi \| aka Punch R0ckgroin, Fatsuit
Lucrezia LeGrand Sentinels of New Eden 495	Posted - 2014.05.03 04:15:00 - [226] - Quote I have no problem if dust and legion co-existed. or if in time, dust became legion and we got to play it on ps4. But to say that dust is just the groundworks for legion and that legion is the future on pc, well, what does that mean for dust players? are we just going to be left behind? no thanks? no commemorative pen? Do we continue to support dust? can we, in good conscience, convince our friends to spend money on dust? how much longer will we get to play and how come no one ever told us that this was coming? this is like seeing your parents getting divorced because your dad cheated again, only this time your dad's not trying to buy your love with new clothes and video games.

Congrats though CCP, you killed Dust ( everyone refund your money that you spent on AUR from Sony ) your vampire mmo just got cancelled because in 8 years you could not find a direction to go in with the game, so you are trying to start over again with Legion which will still have the very slow and from what I have seen not very talented coders at CCP Shanghai. So your only game atm is EVE which will most likely take a large hit from Star Citizen coming out. I had planed resubing to eve because I have 2 plex and over 800m in items just sitting on my character, but after this and the treatment of your fans I will never give you guys a dime of my money. BUMP

Period. That's really the worst part. They had the gall to call it a "Dust 514 Keynote". The key note being, we're not going to mention Dust's future at all. During the "Dust 514 Progression" session, they were explicitly asked if any of this actually applied to Dust 514, and the answer was a gritty, in your face, NO. Now that's just bad labeling.
