There is no way that CCP are going to just transfer across some tens, probably hundreds of thousands of players with SP of around four years to completely stomp day one PC players, again completely failing to deliver a decent NPE in a CCP product.
You'll likely be able to keep your name and some cosmetic trinkets to show you're "old school".
CCP want to make money from the PC market and they want to make it again from you.
If the migration plan was such a lock details would have been outlined in the DUST 514 keynote given the warnings now public based on CSM8 and CPM0 statements.
As it stands now you are being fed spin to keep you quiet while the games media has its attention on Iceland.
Once the spotlight moves on it's going to be pretty obvious that since the failed launch of DUST514, for probably the whole year you have been played like suckers.
It's not that CCP decided to can DUST514. If it's unprofitable that's their right. If they decide to clone the game and release it on another platform, again their call.
However, telling you one thing while doing the opposite has finally given people an insight into how CCP operate. They usually just don't do it on such a public scale. Someone who actually gets it They will not transfer over you millions upon millions of skill points......CCP cant afford to **** up the PC game like they have console
And yet they've proven, time and time again, that they can and will **** ANYTHING up.
Why would Legion be any different? |

Don't have faith in it?
Don't buy AUR
Wow
Such sense
Very logic
Look, I get that you're excited and hopeful, but at least OUR assumptions are based upon CCP's actual history, and not a marketing presentation of a prototype game that they haven't even fully committed to development yet.
A lot of things can and will change between now and if/whenever Legion actually sees the light of day (just look at Dust when it was just a concept, compared to what we have today).
Maybe they've learned their lesson, maybe they'll do better on the PC. Only time will tell but, based upon their track record so far, I wouldn't bet on it, that's for sure. |

Well thankfully there's no money on it (for me), and CCP has confirmed that DUST simply will never be what they wanted it to be, so either Legion succeeds, or the whole IP goes down in flames. I'm fine with both, though I'd prefer the first. We can either wallow in negativity, or we can look to the future. I choose to be hopeful because for the past year, I've been anything but.
Fair enough, and I honestly do hope that you're right.
But, if you are wrong, don't worry, I won't say "I told you so"
I'll be long gone by then. I've learned my lesson already. |
