Character transfer.

We heard many rumors. Yes. No. Maybe. Yes, but don't know how.

Now a definite answer please. Because this answer will decide if you completely scammed us and if money put into Dust was wasted or if we can still play the game, considering most Dust players have a PC capable of runing Legion anyways.

So:

Will our characters transfer over to Legion?
How will that happen?
How are SP/ISK/LP/BPOs going to be converted?
When will that happen?
Will Dust players get another bonus besides this in in Legion? (special badge, small gameplay boni, guaranteed early beta invite, some other stuff?)

That's only be fair. And regarding your answer during the stream today it was pretty much clear: At best Dust will get the new heavy weapons. besides that bugfixing and "polishing" at most. That thing is dead. Everybody knows you're only still developing it with a skeleton crew because you're probably bound to do this due to a contract with Sony.

They already said they don't know if they will be able to transfer mercs, and what else would be transferable with said mercs, due to multiple issues like Sony getting in the way. They are simply not sure, which is the typical CCP catch phrase to avoiding an answer.

I would procure a link for you to this interview from a gaming site, but it would just get drowned out again in the million threads asking if characters will transfer over.

They probably have to go through with real lawyers to determine what they do. The sht they pulled, they better hope Sony doesn't care to much/desperately wants Valkyrie, otherwise Sony may keep hold of those characters. CCP should have figured out *** like this with real lawyers 8 months ago, when they started working on Legion. Sign up for Caldari FW and defeat the evil Gallente Overlords!

If I were to play Legion, I can't see how I'd be able to fully enjoy it if I'm going to contantly be wondering when and how they're going to screw me over next. When they transfer the characterover I don't feel totally screwed. Because my progress would still exist. Doesn't matter how they call the game my progress exists in. Dust 54 wa sjust the name of the Legion Beta. They took money for it. So I want what my money and my time achieved in that game to have in Legion, now that Dust is going to be discontinued. For all I care they could've called Legion Dust 2.0 and just released it on PC. Same thing (heck. That's basically what it is). I just don't want them to delete my progress because thy suddenly decided that they're not out of early beta yet. Sign up for Caldari FW and defeat the evil Gallente Overlords!
