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.

With that sad, it sadly think revealing this at Fanfest (especially during the "Dust" keynote) was the wrong move, and something that should have been exiting was just gone in an instance. My question: - Since you state PS3 development will continue (albeit limited), what do you think about bringing PVE (in a simple form) to "test the ground" for Legion so to say? Personally, I am not done with dust, and will most likely play Legion. I fully understand (and support) WHY you do it. However, I strongly disagree HOW this was presented to the community.

I want to point out my biggest gripe with the current immersion of Dust 514, so we don't make the same mistake in Legion, the local chat. Yes, a minuscule point (of many) with Dust 514, but the fact that we never changed chat channel proved that ourself (and our assets) never actually left the room we were stuck in at "birth". Please make Legion the truly immersive experience I always wanted, where I feel that I actually move within the universe of New Eden. Also make sure that every game mechanic you invent to support the rapid clone jumping (including assets) are officially explained in lore. That is all. Looking forward to see a Dev blog on the subject.

Yeah, that statement is pretty laughable. I think Dust 514 is a great shooter, and I have played a lot of different FPS, both on PC and console. The definition of "great" differ from person to person, and it does not HAVE to be about fluid gameplay, detailed textures and spot on hit detection (which I agree Dust lacks). It can still be great for other reasons.
Regis Blackbird DUST University Ivy League 177	Posted - 2014.05.06 21:35:00 - [4] - Quote @CCP Rouge One of my prime interest in Dust was with the EVE - Dust link, and especially the orbital bombardment. As both a Dust and EVE player have have been on both sides of a strike (and sometimes simultaneously), and it was freaking awesome. With that said, the problem with this major feature was that very few people actually experienced it like I have, and most people were just tired of OB spam (this is something you actually should look at fixing for Dust by the way). With Legion, both new and veteran players need to really feel apart of new Eden, not just cosmetic like chat or corp membership, but have mechanics that benefits both games. - As a EVE player in want to hire mercs to do my bidding. When things go south, or I just feel like it, I want to bomb them to ... dust? . I want to scan for exotic material and hire mercs to go and get it from the clutches of evil drones. I want to transfer mercs in my ship to a new base station, and chat with them along the way. - As a merc, I want to actively help capturing POS:es around planets. I want to go on solo cloaking infiltration missions behind enemy Guristas lines to sabotage their base. I want to assemble my team to ambush merc who are foolish enough to scavenge materials "in our space". I want to fight for the victory of the Caldari state while capsuleers fight in the sky. Phuu, I guess you get my point. Please please please make meaningful interaction between EVE and Legion, and let the "sandbox" contain a multitude of various missions, not just Fed Ex quests killing drones to feed the Legion? economy. And (this is a big one for me), explain all the in game mechanic in Lore. Don't let us just teleport around in the galaxy (without changing local chat), magically bringing all our assets with us, without explaining why... And preferably don't allow it, period. And finally, please include this at launch of Legion (provided there is one). Take your time to get things right, and don't rush a half finished product out the door and say "we add it later". Let's do it right this time.
