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.

Thread locked due to OP trolling.

In a similar situation (just no family)....


The locking of that thread angered me greatly.

i guess you could say he was, FRAMED.

CCP needs to work on their PR.

But, wait, someone at Fanfest ( IWS, if I recall correctly ) said you were happy with the new "Legion" thing!

Wow, so many butt hurts in this thread. You losers take this way too seriously. hahaha

Reminding everyone that the original post was uploaded to Imgur, so that even a complete forum database wipe will not expunge the record of CCP's grave, grave mistake: http://i.imgur.com/fpqZldU.png

To Frame: The OP, Velico Orion Necrosis, was telling the truth about at least one thing: Dustboards.com confirms that he was an open beta player, and a founding member of his corporation. This makes it unlikely that he was lying, as he was certainly not someone's new forum alt. Even if he was, his post effectively encapsulates the feelings of a large portion of the Dust community.

That's Dustboard.com (no S)

Didn't I call it?

I knew they would try damage control on that thread.

Spread this **** around people, don't let them hide this.

As soon as DUST was announced for a console, every single one of you had to know that DUST was DoA. Consoles get replaced every couple of years, and thus DUST could not possibly be supported for long, especially on a console that was already well into it's life-cycle.

"Oh, noez! My console game will no longer be supported!"

No ****. Everyone that is upset over this is completely ********.

Meanwhile, CCP realizes how dumb they were to release DUST for console only and rectify their mistake by shifting future development to computers, so that they can do it right and continue to support the game for as long as it is making money.

tl;dr: buy a computer. Play Eve: Online, and Eve: Legion when it comes out.

As I said in the last thread: there is no damage control to be done, only more damage.

At this point, the only thing that will calm the Dust community (or at least, me, I can't speak for everyone) is an absolute, concrete promise that when Legion is released, we will see significant parts, if not all, of our Dust character progression transferred over. I can understand if assets cannot be transferred in order to keep the Legion economy stable, but character progression being transferred is non-negotiable if CCP wishes to salvage my support.

If the OP by the great gentleman Velico Orion Necrosis is considered trolling then CCP has truly lost their fvcking minds!

With 301 Likes, by far the most I've ever seen on these forums for a single post CCP Frame has decided to lock the thread "due to OP trolling."

We MUST not allow this OP to die, CCP must remember forever.

Do not let our brother down, and do not let CCP ever live this down.

If this thread is locked, deleted, or buried we as a community must continue to re-post for as long as CCP continues to exist.

NEVER FVCKING FORGET!

The original thread is now unlocked, it's the first link in my sig.

That surprise me! Now reason for unlocking? any?
