I would've rather you guys and CCP would've just come out and said what they were doing months ago rather than making all of us look like complete morons at FF and in the rest of the gaming community. That way we could have at least decided what we wanted to do instead with moving to other games and a lot of us certainly wouldn't have bought all those now useless extra boosters.
Now the fact that all of you guys knew this, I cannot believe the gall of IWS (I have absolute zero respect for that guy now given his recent posting). Hey, now I know Kain's action as to why he created the massive donut.
I guess I also completely fail how you can think that a very angry at being taken advantage of and partially confused player base is "amusing".
Also got some advice for ya. Keep trying to sweep this whole thing under the rug like it wasn't a big issue, and you'll keep making people more angry.
Now a very angry and Bitter Vet. CCP, you have further solidified my views that corporations are corrupt POS's.

This is quite worrisome Nova Knife. I am going to speak very frankly because I don't love this game, I love what it was promised to be: "why the holy hell was this unveiled the way it was?" Because, right now, we do not know if DUST 514 is getting ANY kind of love from the developers. When the keynote is only about Legion and the DUST 514 progression speech was only about Legion we are left wondering if we are the only ones caring about a now doomed project.
Even if the "we were trying to make the impact less insane" is true, why should we trust anything from CCP?

Thank you for the well written blog.
I just want to say, first and foremost, that I'm excited for Legion. It looks and sounds like what we were originally sold on, and it seems like the only logical step forward.
The issue, as you mention, was how they went about it. The complete lack of information regarding our DUST characters and Legion. That feeling of hopelessness that DUST as is, will never ever become much more than it is right now. I've obviously been fanning the flames a bit (what sig?) but at the same time I feel that it's deserved right now. I mean, I can't imagine how bad it must have felt to fly all the way out there for DUST, only to have to sit through that keynote.
I would definitely advise against biomassing if you intend to check out Legion though, just in case.

You're not alone. We bugged and pushed for the announcement to come much sooner, and it was supposed to. But well... **** **** happened that messed that plan up and the announcement was pushed back.
Don't think we haven't given CCP endless **** for this pisspoor, awkward messaging, and especially the naming of the presentations. It was going to be awkward anyways, and we urged them to just call them legion presentations and just be upfront and honest, and throw in some smaller dust presentations too for the people who wanted to see them.

TL;DR
Legion will be what Dust should've been. Dust will get no significant updates until we're closer to the release of Legion and Dust will be shut down. In the meantime CCP just wants to milk the Dust players as much as possible.
The above was confirmed at FF and especially on livestream minutes ago where CCP Praetorian regarding specific future updates on Dust he answered: " Uhhh we can always do perfomance fixes and uhhh I guess we can add in some more weapons and uhhh we'll probably do some bugfixes too". Translated that means "We don't care about Dust anymore, you won't see any significant progress anymore, now go buy some more boosters until Legion is out".

Thanks for trying NK, just make sure that you and CCP doesn't forget about us. We've supported the game for years, (year and a half for me, longer for others) we will not let that time go to waste and be for naught. Bottom line, Name and SP transfer minimum. That's the least we deserve. Ps4 version should come, there was a reason they brought it to Ps3, and that was to reach to a different audience, a different one, not to keep the universe among the same people.

If they could just confirm that progress transfers to Legion, then at least players who intend to stick around for it could still benefit from those purchases.
But what about new players who come into this game thinking that it will last? Reading the description on PSN or the DUST site, simply assuming that the game will continue to be updated? It's that kind of stuff that really irks me, and puts a very bad taste in my mouth.

My fear is that if it can't happen upper management will keep it secret for as long as possible to further milk the Dust players because no one will keep playing if they know they can't transfer that to Legion.

Furthermore Nova, I know CCP has told you Dust will still see progress, but there's just no way that's going to happen with only a skeleton crew working on Dust (hell, we don't even know if there's still people working on Dust since they had nothing to show at FF).
If you really think Dust will see anything other than bugfixes and the like you're really delusional. I don't care what CCP has told you guys, but they're lying so that they can keep milking Dust players.

Ohh ****....I actually had hope that maybe Dust wasn't going to get scrapped. I read the post and clicked the link, thinking that ok maybe CPM could clear up some misinterpretations. But reading this thread only made it worse.....this transition WILL happen and there WILL NOT be anymore additions on dust for the playstation.
I wasn't going to call Sony but I will definitely now. Not because I spent aur in the closed beta and so forth. But because CCP just released new events in the market with boosters, 60% reduction on weapons, etc. This like 3 events in one month all to rob us before we realized they were killing the game at fanfest.
I absolutely feel robbed now and I want the money back that I just spent for these last series of events. Was only $20 but I could use that for something else in the ps store for entertainment,.

I really appreciate you speaking to us, thank you.
That being said, it's the same routine over and over again. Transparency is coming soon, they're listening, just wait. I'm not blaming you for that (or the rest of the CPM) I know it's out of your hands and you tried. But I just can't believe CCP would knowingly disrespect their community like that. It's not Legion itself, it's the way they went about it. They need to address it immediately. They've deeply hurt a large portion of this community and the longer they wait the worse it's going to get. |

Thanks for posting it must have been very difficult & I can't imagine that any of you were happy with the position you have been put in. I still can't get my head round why they thought it would be better to release this info at fanfest.
The bolded part for me is really important. I want to know if my 2 years time spent with this game has been well spent & I can continue that into Project Legion or not.
CCP really needs to be open & honest but can they be trusted to do that ?

Bump for awareness. Good read Nova, and great to hear a CPM perspective.
For my full thoughts on Legion itself, see this post. As for that blog, I'm glad to hear the CPM is both as excited about Legion and pissed about CCP's PR as we (well, a lot of us) are. You CPM bros are gonna get as much **** as you're (rightly) giving CCP, but I for one appreciate your effort even if it didn't fully succeed. Please do your best to get more information out there... after this clusterfuck, I'd say we deserve as close to full disclosure as possible.

forgive the skepticism but we've been here before. for me this is right back to 2009 when the first dust demo got promo'd
for all its rhetoric ccp have shown us nothing new aside from prettier graphics and sandbox tools that aren't even past the concept stage. any important questions about the direction of the game are met with 'I don't know because we haven't got to that stage'
while this is going on dust will fade, keeping it online means nothing if no meaningful new content is planned. very few will stay and the majority of this great community will scatter to the winds

There was no way this reveal would ever go right. CCP was at the same time announcing that Dust was crap and they were working on a new version for a different platform while effectively ceasing development of the current one.
Why would anyone want to play Dust after hearing that?
What CCP should have done is announced Dust was being shutdown so that they could focus on creating the next iteration of the Mercs on the Ground experience, that it would be going to either PS4 or PC and PS4 (since not everyone owns a gaming PC or wants to play FPS on one), and that Dust progression would transfer (they should've had the answer for well before they decided to announce it *shakes head*).
Would there be backlash? Probably some but not to the level we have right now after CCP stabbed every Dust player in the back.
There was no way this reveal (Dust is dead, and we've been working on the next one for a different platform for a while now) would have been taken well, regardless of the time that they chose to do it.

So if I'm understanding this right the CPM advised CCP to rename the presentations well ahead of time. Say, before the live stream schedule was posted maybe?
They then deliberately ignored the advice? Is this correct?

Done get me wrong, I appreciate what you've guys have done in the past, but CCP needs paid employees to tell them they're making a bad decision. Maybe they might listen then.
This community is the nail in Dust 514's coffin, waiting to be hammered in.

Maybe you did that Nova, and if so, well I commend you for it. However the other CPM posts I've seen as of late to me tell a different story.
The thing that makes me so angry in this whole thing is CCP's basic lack of honesty surrounding this whole issue. I'm sure that if CCP made it so that Legion was on PS4, a whole lot of this thing would die down. The main issue at hand here is CCP hyping people up to keep their characters going and keep investing real money in them when they now mean absolutely nothing.
Now a very angry and Bitter Vet. CCP, you have further solidified my views that corporations are corrupt POS's.

Trust and reputation are things that take a long time to build, but only a brief instant to destroy. Yesterday was that instant for my trust in anything CCP does or says.
I do not think it is a coincidence that CCP bring in a guy who used to work as EA to run Dust and that they would continue to run events and sell aurum all while knowing they were moving not only just to another system, but an entirely different ecosystem.

Cut and paste from my response to your fellow soul-selling coward's posts-
Quote:So essentially, you're a coward, and you valued your position of pretend internet power/prestige and your vacation to Iceland more than your own dignity and the feelings of the playerbase you supposedly represent.
I personally would have broken the NDA to warn people not to buy anything for a game that was getting thrown in the trash - the CPM told everyone things were fine and encouraged us to keep playing, keep spending. The very least you all could have done would be to resign in a show of solidarity in protest, without violating the NDA at all, and that would have been enough for many of us to know something very bad was happening behind the scenes.
Instead, you towed the company line. And for what? You got a trip to Iceland? You going to be CPM on EVE: Legion even though none of you wanted to be CPM anymore, right? I guess that meant you didn't want to be CPM for Dust, since you knew what was going to happen to it, and knew there was no point.
All of you should be absolutely ashamed of yourselves, even more than CCP itself. At least they're in it for the money. You're just lapdogs doing what your master tells you for whatever bone they decide to throw you every once in a while. |

For those that asked : A Ps4 version of Legion somewhere down the road is not off the table by any means. This was an absolute priority for us, because we are -console gamers- first. We recognize why this is necessary, but have always insisted that the console roots are not ignored.
Bottom line is that console development is unnecessarily complicated in terms of patch deployment and QA, which makes it really hard to rapidly iterate. CCP gave it their best shot with Dust and the PS4, it just simply didn't work out well.
The decision to move to PC with Legion was born entirely out of the intention of being able to update and iterate quickly, and keep momentum in development tangible for those playing it. This absolutely needs to happen to make dust the game everyone wanted it to be. Dust is not good, and moving to PC would allow them to make it what it never could have been on the PS3.
Of course it sucks for the die hard, ps3 only players who can't follow Legion even if they wanted to due to lack of a PC. This is a boat many of them would have been in with a PS4 port too, as not everyone has one yet. There is no way to get around this, any kind of platform shift is gonna leave some people behind, and nothing anyone can do can really make that news sound good to those people.
And finally, For those asking why we did not resign; In no way was the decision for us to not resign, somehow selfish. To suggest that is like... the most ignorant thing I could possibly think of. You cannot imagine how stressful, how agonizingly frustrating the -job- of being a councilbro is. Yes, we could have ended our initial table flipping with a "**** you guys, we're out"" but what good would that have served? It would have been an immature, knee jerking reaction. This would have been an easy excuse and saved us a stupidly crazy amount of frustration and free us from giving nearly all of our free time to CCP and the Community.
Choosing to resign would have been far more selfish. We carried on because of how passionate we are to the concept of Dust, the vision that made all of the playerbase cream their jeans years ago that was never realized. This was our chance to make sure that CCP had someone on their case to make sure they did not ruin their chance to realize this vision. This was our change to make sure that CCP had someone to say "NO" when they were sitting around pitching ideas. This is a necessary part of any design, and having those people NOT be on payroll means they have nothing to fear from saying NO to upper management. There is no fear of termination or lack of promotion, or any of the negative consequences that usually come from pissing your boss off.
This has nothing to do with sucking CCP off, or wanting to hold on to some strange, egotistical notion that we somehow have some kind of power or throne to hold on to. You need to realize that we spend the majority of our time telling CCP they're freaking morons, and that ass-kissing is about the furthest thing any of us actually do.
One way or another though... Now that Legion is unveiled, the wait for the elections has become significantly shorter. This was something we did demand though, because it would have been stupid to have candidates elected at fanfest and then have them find out that they are on CPM1 as a console player who has no PC. People running for CPM1 -DESERVED- to know exactly beforehand.
I'm not sure what else I can say about that, but you are more than welcome to ping me on Skype (nova_knife) to actually talk to me in person (Scales being the exception, none of these cpmhate alts have ever really taken the time to engage me, and I fully welcome hem to do so. You're obviously passionate about the game, let's chat.) |

Nova could you or another CPM get CCP (or more precisely Rouge) to clarify exactly what support they are going to offer DUST514. He stated here they were committed to improving the ps3 experience.
From Rouge's recent dev blog: DUST itself has a lot more shooting-in-the-face action to come. The team and I remain committed to continuing to improve the experience on PlayStation 3,
What does this mean... are they going to deliver a full range of racial everything? or just a few tweaks here and there....
What can we expect? |

The return to consoles and the transfer of progress are my two biggest concerns, so thank you for raising them NK.

First, resigning would have let the community know something bad was up. Instead of telling us everything's fine, keep playing, keep spending money, wait for fanfest, etc, we would have known something bad was going to happen. Instead, you towed the company line publicly, no matter what you claim you did privately (funny that there's no way to prove or disprove anything you claim happened in private though... NDA!!!!!!!1111oneone) you supported the game in the eyes of everyone in the community.
Also, CPM hate alt? lol, is that the best comeback you have? Aside from calling IWS on his retardation for the past several years, even before he was CPM, I've never had a problem with any of the CPM and you know it. You just have no other defense for yourself because what you did is not defensible and you know it. But please, if it helps you sleep better at night, call me a "CPM hate alt", I'm sure you cowards need something to help you sleep at night these days. |

Really looking forward to Legion I've not actually played Dust since the end of 2013 due to it not being on next gen consoles. My PS3 has been stored away safely in my loft as DUST was the only game I played on it.
Needless to say if you're in CCP right now or the CPM I feel your pain for all they crap you're going to get over this decision but I'm thankful CCP went in this direction and didn't keep trying to flog a dead horse. The players that will be lost from angry console junkies will more than be gained in the PC gamer community and from EVE players moving to Legion too. |

All this proves is that CPM, as representatives of the community, are essentially impotent and have zero influence with regards to CCPs decision-making process.
Good to know, thanks. |

5 Days of QA Testing by Sony on ps4. I've been waiting for 2 years for PVE, I would easily take a 5 days delay every patch. Anything CCP told you, they're lying. They want to rely on Eve player base directly on PC, that's it.

after reading your wall of text and IWS one in another thread, i'd like you to answer a question and tell me how you feel about it :
WHY , WHILE CCP ALREADY KNEW THEY WOULD TRASH DUST ANYWAY, THEY KEPT ON PUSHING BOOSTER SALE AND AURUM ORIENTED EVENTS?
the last month is a fking good exemple at how they tried to make the most before the fanfest announcement, do you or the rest of the CPM endorse that kind of business practice

They finally did the right thing Dust514 was never meant for a console. Legion on PC is the right and smart move. The Eve community will support legion. I'm not mad at all i stoped playing DUST once GTAV dropped. I have a PS4 with great games coming Watch dogs, Destiny, Dragin Age Inquisition. On my PS3 i play Defiance and GTAV.
I wish CCP all the best but i saw this coming a long time ago. |
