Hi everyone. Me again.

Why PC first? For a few different reasons... It's a scalable platform. We can go high spec for the most demanding players in terms of Gfx, but we can also scale down to low/mid spec to get critical mass. It's also a good platform for the early stage of a project like ours. You can test and balance the game and the economy quite easily with fast turn-arounds. We can set people up in testing environments easily (eg. ISD in EVE). If you've seen the "CCP Presents" presentation on Saturday at Fanfest, there was a talk about CCP refocusing on its core tech competency, which is PC. It allows in the future the creation of a "universe" of products on the same platform. Again, this doesn't mean that we're not going back to console at one point but we need to focus on one thing at a time and deliver an awesome game, then things get easier.

Now I'd like to address (or repeat) something important for me. I know that a lot of you have been really disappointed and wanted to see much more on the future of DUST 514 in its current form and I absolutely understand that feeling. But the reality is that, while it's a great shooter, I repeat that it's not the base that can give us another EVE Online with 10+ years of epic battles where players can have a great experience whether solo, as the head of the deadliest squad or largest corp in the game. Give people the right tools to manage/achieve all that. A much clearer user experience that opens up that huge universe, always discover new stuff to shoot, to loot, to sell... A social experience where corps can advertise/recruit easily, where you see the main chat going crazy with people asking for groups, selling stuff, talking ****. Some of the stuff that makes me feel like I am in an MMO. All of these aren't tweaks, they are features forming a new eco-system for the game, a foundation you can then build on. No doubt that DUST 514 is a large piece of that foundation. We've accomplished so much and I've had a ton of fun every day since beta but it is not there yet. It requires a lot of work of course but also a different approach in how we design and execute on that vision. I can go on and on about how I see this evolve but we'll cover in more depth as we start sharing ideas and designs through dev blogs and such.

Hey everyone!

Great to see all the feedback youGÇÖve posted so far. Please keep it coming. For DUST 514 we obviously have a long list of stuff to do but IGÇÖd like to hear on the specific items below if possible. For Project Legion, itGÇÖs more high level concepts IGÇÖm after at this stage as weGÇÖre still figuring out the outline of the experience.

DUST 514

• Role and gear balance
• Ways to improve Planetary Conquest
• Other stuff you want us to jump on that can have a direct impact on gameplay quality.

Speaking of which, IGÇÖll get back to you guys next week with more info on how weGÇÖll proceed for DUST. Our plan is to be as transparent as possible, which I know itGÇÖs easy to say now, but itGÇÖs what weGÇÖre working towards. Your primary point of contact in the dev team, which IGÇÖll introduce next week, will have the mission to engage with you all and of course CPM as early as possible. Stay tuned, I think you'll like him. :)

Project Legion

• The Starmap as the door and guide to New Eden
• Wild PvP / The Sandbox areas where you fight other players and drones (in its first iteration) to scavenge for loot
• New ways to link with EVE

For Project Legion, I recommend you post your thoughts in the new Project Legion forum that CCP Frame pointed out earlier in the thread.

Again, IGÇÖm super eager to hear what you have to say and trust me, every post is being read by the team and I. YouGÇÖll see more of us engage with you all moving forward.
