CCP could not do all that if they canceled Legion and put all focus back on Dust514 and a year to do it.
It took them over a week to update the db that said dragonfly scout had 1h 3l 2e then broke it a week later only to take another week to fix it again.
Still would be nice to have those changes but what you ask for is nothing but a pipe dream.

WOAH WOAH WOAH i get the nerfs for other weapons but for the HMG are you serious do you know how little range it already has, and then you want to decrease its rof... HELL NOO that would completely destroy the gun, jesus what do you want to do destroy the heavy class completely

You might be right, so I'll revise my post.
Stun Lock and the HMG intertwined.
First, cut away the bug. To be safe.

Bullet time is when the bullets slow down and you keep moving normally so you can dodge them.

When you get slowed down and the bullets keep moving at normal speed, that's the exact opposite of what bullet time means. It's also what happens when you get shot in DUST.

Hey guys, sorry about not getting back to you earlier. HereGÇÖs some more info for you.

I want to address the concerns about character migration from DUST 514 to Project Legion if it goes ahead. There has been some concern about what I meant by GÇ£applicableGÇ¥. We are looking to migrate everything we can about characters from DUST 514, including names, corporation membership, skill points, assets and ISK. We have not yet decided how this would translate to the new items and progression system in Legion, but we want to make sure that the time and effort you committed in DUST 514 is carried over to Project Legion.

I wanted to address the questions about what type of payment model we are looking to use with Project Legion. I want to make it free-to-play, but it will be slightly different to how it is in DUST. I want CCP Z to cover it soon for you guys in a dedicated dev blog.

When it comes to DUST development I can tell you that we are currently looking at changes to Planetary Conquest, further iterating on item balance after Uprising 1.8 and some matchmaking improvements; all of which will be deployed as server-side updates. We currently don't have a date set for when you will get these updates.

IGÇÖll do my best to answer more questions, and IGÇÖll also get other devs to chime in with answers to your questions. Please keep posting your thoughts and questions.

I have another big question.

If DUST has been abandoned for Legion, but Legion isn't certain of even existing...

...will DUST get revived with maybe a DUST 2.0 reboot if Legion is tanked? Or is it scrapped, full stop, no going back?

---

What I would really want to happen is for Legion to happen. PS4 preferably, since that was part of what we had always been led to believe would happen, but I'm not TOO upset with the idea of it moving to PC. But I DON'T want it to be "scrap DUST, leave it running on its own servers with just patches, release Legion as a separate game".

I want to see Legion's development INTEGRATED with DUST. Make it a gradual shift. Use the assets being developed for Legion to expand DUST over the next maybe 2 years. DON'T rush to release Legion in a year's time and cut DUST out of the picture.

Almost everyone here has been through almost a reboot with Uprising anyway. It was a MASSIVE deviation from what DUST had been prior - and not all the changes were improvements. We're still here. We can take a few disappointments if we can see that they're leading in the right direction. EVEN if one of those disappointments is the (eventual) discontinuation of our VERSION of the game for a new, better version on the next platform(s) you want to support.

If CCP continues to support DUST, instead of trying to pretend that the patches and cleanup jobs they SHOULD have done months ago while they were working on Legion are "support", then so will I. If they provide new content, EVEN if it's more limited or coming out slower because it's coming indirectly via Legion, I'll play with and against the new toys and give honest feedback on them. If there's a GRADUAL shift in focus from the current game to the "reboot", I'll be on board all the way.

If DUST is left as-is, with only the long-overdue bug fixes and balance "improvements" (hopefully ones which actually improve the game, but knowing CCP, good luck), then... Well, good luck with that. I might - MIGHT consider downloading a free client. Maybe. But I can guarantee that I will be spending a grand total of precisely NOTHING AT ALL on the game EVER, and I'm unlikely to play it regularly even if it's good. Additionally, in the rare playtime I do have, I'll be advertising the reasons WHY I'm not playing it much to those people who are interested. In the past, I've been very good at convincing players to part with money for products I like and am willing to support, and I've ALSO been very good at convincing people to NOT spend money on supporting companies I've seen behaving in an unethical manner.

As has already been said, in this thread and elsewhere, you reap what you sow.

If you upset paying customers, you might still see them PLAYING, but they won't be PAYING any more.

I just hope legion will actually be popular unlike dust. I mean where were the advertisements for it.i hope Ccp makes advertisements for this.i just happened to stumble upon dust by accident.i was just looking for something new to play on the playstation store.im happy that I found this game.but know I need to buy a computer for this new game......

I had to buy a new PS3 after my first one died and it came with a free pack of digital goods including a booster. That is what got me to try it out. Guys at work had heard about it from game review sites. Unfortunately, all of those reviews were on the negative side. Not outright trashing the game, but overall not good.

Ya...all of the reviews i saw were negative or like you said but.i just really hope Ccp makes advertisements for legion.but since it's going to be on PC.it might go to steam.so maybe it will get more popular.

Hi CCP.

If you want to make a fantastic game, Inmprove the interactions between Eve and Dust.

We are a FW Gallente Corp. Our capsulier are in fight and it's impossible to find battles for dusters in their places , even if they plex during nights. I remember it was possible 1 year ago, to chose the battle. Now, they just stop to exist...


If you fix this, balance is ok I think. Time to start developpement for the assaults on stargates with capsulers etc... ^^

Don't trust all these noisy teens, this game is great!

Hi everyone,

Thank you for all of your feedback so far. I'd like to answer a few of your questions about DUST 514 and Project Legion directly given the feedback you gave me. I've picked these four points as they are coming up the most on the forums as well as in the live roundtable discussions here at Fanfest.

1) What happens to my character, skills and stuff?

If Project Legion becomes something more than a prototype, we will not leave our DUST 514 players behind. You would be able to bring your character name, applicable skills/inventory, and other elements of progression with you. We are still working on the details and we will have more to announce soon.

2) Are you completely abandoning DUST dev?

No. Without promising too much, we are actively working on stuff like balancing, Planetary Conquest, matchmaking, the in-game economy, and more. And of course we continue to work with the CPM to identify ways to improve the game.

3) Is Project Legion going to have a PS4 version? Or something for consoles?

It is still far too early to discuss platform expansion, as like you saw we are still only working on the PC prototype at this time. But the PC architecture gives us the opportunity to grow once we have a great PC product at hand. For now, though, PlayStation 4 is not something we are working on.

4) When are you going to give us more concrete information on Legion?

Again, Project Legion is still in an early stage of development but the whole idea behind giving a sneak peek at Fanfest is to get early feedback - and I really want to keep this discussion going, show you progress through dev blogs and such and listen to what you have to say.

Please post your feedback and questions in this thread - and let's keep this conversation going. The team and I will be reading this thread, and I will respond as soon as I can.

CCP Rouge

LOGI EDIT: Please make sure to read through all the dev posts in this thread before responding, a whole lot more questions have been answered.

(cough) make legion for ps4 (cough)

You guys should have Sony Dev kits. You guys made the New Eden universe cross platform. I don't know why Legion would be on PC first instead of PS4. Just wondering could you develop for both platforms instead of just one? just a thought. PC is awesome but PS4 is awesome as well, I hope I see LEGION on PS4 because the Dust 514 fan base is console gamers for the most part. Alot of my friends don't even play Dust 514 anymore after your announcement at fanfest. It's heartbreaking to see good corporations die and people leave the game because LEGION isn't going to the PS4. It's sad. Hope you guys reconsider.
