Alright so I'm gonna set aside my issues with dust 514, and CCP, to take a serious look at legion.
I watched the Legion progression system video multiple times, trying to fully understand what the plan was.
Do not do this CCP, scrap the progression changes and for once look to your community for this. There have been countless quality suggestions on how to make the progression system work better, made by the community, with out completely abandoning the things that make it great. The system set forth in the fanfest video is a bad fan reaction away from spiraling down to cod levels of meaningless.
The changes to the progression system are an insult to this player base you have outright ignored your most active members and done the exact opposite, and in the end made for a worse game that might as well be a carbon copy of every other mmo.
I wanna make a joke about tab targeting and elves but I'm half afraid you might think its a good idea.
In all seriousness legion made me take a second look, and then I moved right on to other things as soon as I saw that it was business as usual, of not only ignoring your player base and not giving use the information to be helpful to the dev team, but doing the exact opposite of what the community has asked for.
I understand that some times you have to make choices that are counter to the communities wishs for the betterment of the product but making dust into a cookie cutter MMO is not the right path to head down. |

The idea of the EVE-based skill tree is a huge part of what made DUST awesome. You gain a lot of power quickly, with linear improvment for exponential SP. i think CCP Shanghai is going to really struggle to compete head-to-head as a more "assessible" FPS, with other products like COD, PS2, Destiny, and BF. Their team is much smaller, and they don't have the budget, experience or resources to compete in this space. They were better off targeting the more nice market of an MMORPGFPS for players looking for something truly deep. There are many practical ways to improve the existing skill progression system (look at the ISIS system in EVE). I'm planning on writing a detailed post on this.
thank you much better said. |

yea I don't know about that dust fiend, maybe a really bad game, I hope they realize the mistake that the new progression system is before they waste too much more time with it. |

care to expand on that?? I am admittedly biased by the fact that most every one I know has the same opinion as me, I'm genuinely curious why you think this is an improvement.
