CCP confirms, direct quotes from the VP, dust is dead, it will receive no more updates. Dust was a complete failure and they can no longer support it. Their team has been removed from dust and are laser focused on legion.

I swear, some of you guys either do. It or can not read.
The developers of dust 514 have been working on legion for 6 months. CCP ask given legion all the developers that were working on dust and said now they are laser focused and all hands on deck for legion. Read the quotes, read the articles on digital spy and polygon about dust being done and you can see there is no reason to have items/sp transferred. It causes more problems than the 5% of players it makes happy.

LEGION IS NOT A CONCEPT, ITS BEEN IN DEVELOPMENT FOR 6 MONTHS. HARDLY AN IDEA, ITS A 100% FULLY BEING DEVELOPED PROJECT.



I swear, you hear one CPM say something and you think his views are more important than what the VP of CCP said. Dust is dead, face it.





Here is transcript:

PCGN: Your blog post on the Dust website described Project Legion as "the experience we've all dreamt of". What I'm trying to get at is whether Project Legion is replacing Dust 514 as the FPS experience you guys want to make.

JCG: Well it's tough to say "replacing" today. Today we have [in Dust] a really strong product out live and doing well, while Project Legion is still in early development. Personally I find that, yes, [Project Legion] will complete that [Dust 514] vision, the vision of being on the ground in a first-person experience in EVE. It would absolutely complete and realise that vision.

PCGN: And that's not something you could do with Dust?

JCG: As I've described it a few times, it would be a bit like changing the engine of a plane in flight. Such severe changes to an already live experience, that's what triggered the development of Project Legion.



Ok, we know he is lying because CCP said its been 6 months in development. Months is 6. Hardly recent. Also, changing engine of a plane mid flight is terrible but true. Legion is replacing dust because dust failed and they are going to abandon ship.


Now if you want i can get you copy pastes of the fresh start, evolution, new beginning stuff too.

Leave you with this:

Dust has been doing a lot of right things, it's difficult now to finish, to close the loop in some... Nice eh?!


You want more examples?!? Digital spy has many quotes from vp of CCP saying its dead

On point 3, why should I have to buy a PC for one game? Seems like a waste of space to me.

We won't leave any merc behind - rouge says that. Nice that his boss says otherwise. And according to the latest fan fest, they haven't decided but it's not looking good.


Yea: http://www.polygon.com/2014/5/3/5677566/Dust-514-project-legion-reaction

Here is what is going to happen:

"I ran DICE for awhile, and the first shooter game out of DICE was a game called Codename Eagle, which tons of people donGÇÖt know anything about, and never would, and probably shouldnGÇÖt," he told Polygon. "I think it sold like 20,000 units and got a 50 Metacritic, maybe a 40, something like that. It was horrible, and at the end of the day, teams usually have to do multiple iterations of something to get to something really great."

Or

And if people are like, GÇÿyou know what, thanks for all the fish and weGÇÖve moved,GÇÖ then we wonGÇÖt. ItGÇÖs as simple as that, and I think itGÇÖs true for any game service."

Or no plans for updates at http://www.digitalspy.ca/gaming/news/a568488/dust-514-sees-no-planned-updates-scraps-survival-mode-and-vita-app.html#~oDgvSyczxFyCjF

"That's the risk of coming in early into Project Legion, but we're not good at keeping secrets away from our consumers," he explained.

Or you can go watch the youtube video in skill trees, where the guy off camera says they have transferred the team and are laser focused on legion.. Which team did they move, the dust team.

Wow, the Seth of dust is easily found. They transferred all their development team from dust to legion. It says it in 5 of the articles and its all over in a simple google search. They said dust is a crashing plane..etc dust is a failure and they want to make an evolution to legion.

I tried to find forum post that Logi bro wrote about Sony and it not being about SP and ISK being transfered but rather about names and account details, so that isn't a transfer of character, just information which CCP has to buy from Sony.

There's also a questionnaire being passed around at fan fest, according to people there. The options are about how much would they pay for legion and would they take an increase in subscription fee on top of their eve accounts oh say 5$ a month.

So while its up in the air, they wanted it as a pay system but who knows what they will decide to do now. You think console free to play players are going to pay to play legion?! Not in a million years are the okay station, a free to play system online are going to leave buy a gaming PC and pay a monthly fee.

Hey, i watched the feeds, i read the quotes on day one.

CCP doesn't normally make public mistakes like they did at fan fest, they under estimated the backlash and are in damage control mode. Its more reasonable to assume their op day 1 ideas and original bad ideas were what they wanted to do. The second day lets cater to you a bit and get your player info and account to eve world, is just an effective way to connect users from dust to eve and appease them.

But providing a new game, a new evolution of a game and then giving dust players 40-50m SP advantages is crazy. It's not a level playing field and eve and new players to legion will be furious.

The first post i saw after was a CPM saying don't be mad most sequels do not carry over SP and since legion isnt a sequel but a different game completely, or an evolution as CCP puts it. Then you cannot expect or you don't deserve one. Now i was mad, told him there are many games which carry over progression.

But from what CCP said and what makes sense, they will have everyone start at stage 1 together. It makes more sense to their game, makes more sense money wise, and wont upset legion player base.

Enter new game at 400k SP, get stomped by 1000 dust players with SP ranging from 10-40m. Meta level bullshit aside, it's about the fitting and the access to more the more SP you have. If you saw the skill tree, you can see the bullshit you will have to weed through to run what you want and run ideal fits. No one is going to believe, or should believe what CCP says today. It was about their original plans to get off the airplane without an engine and jump into PC and legion will be that jump.

Dust will die a slow, buggy death. Legion will rise from its ashes thanks to the dust team of developers. Legion will be everything dust was, and dust will be literally dust.

Say what you want about CCP today, but CCP IS BACKTRACKING DUE TO NEGATIVE REACTION. They wanted someone one way and aren't going to compromise at the risk of losing profits.

Actually, first hand experiences are considered more valid than second hand ones.

Question section at end. Ill answer that, we are laser focused on developing legion now.
