ccp is dead to me, old friend.

my eve characters are unsubscribed.

by dust character will never again advance.

my plans of playing valkyrie are dashed.

**** ccp.

And that's totally cool if you feel that way man, but I'm telling you to at least sleep on it a while and think it through. I'm incredibly excited for what we saw and the Graphics panel really showed some innovative stuff (watching smoke move when rounds get shot through it is killer!). Just don't delete your characters and if at all possible, give some feedback on how Dust's new path can improve.

ever played an ea game that didn't make you want to throw up?

me neither.

The problem is....CCP never had plans on leaving the ps3. How can a company of pc game designers not know that the ps3 was aging. In their own words, they were "laser focused on the ps3".

What does that tell you?

Lol, attacking a person's character is kind of low but I guess the name suits you =P

Nah, listen man - it's awesome. It really is. Once the shock kind of settles and everyone gets a better grasp of things, I think you'll all see that the game has progressed by leaps and bounds and was TOTALLY NECESSARY in order for us to -BE- that clone soldier on the frontline instead of just some spreadsheet silhouette who walks around for five minutes before getting aced.

Like, what is it that bothers you specifically?

The thing I hate about CCP is that they flip flop worse than Mitt Romney... You literally can't rely on them for ANYTHING.

Having an unreliable game developer sucks.

How do you know they never had plans to leave PS3? Because they didn't tell you?

People take things far too literally. So the guy used the wrong words, wow, oh no. At the time, maybe they were. Maybe they weren't. All I know is that the game we were all sold on, is Legion, not DUST. DUST helped to build Legion, and I'm ok with that.

Here's hoping Legion gets the green light because it's the game DUST was always supposed to be.

I also find it funny how in one post, you say they had no plans to leave the PS3, yet in the very next post, you say you expected ("wouldn't mind") it to go to the PS4. So, which is it? If you want a PS4 port, you should be PUSHING for Legion, since it will be easier for them to port AND be higher quality.

You are not understanding that we as playstation console players are not going to play pc just for legion. If we were pc gamers, then we wouldn't mind. We would welcome the new change......that's why we wouldn't mind if it went to the ps4.

Wait...that doesn't make sense to you? I expected it to go to the ps4 but CCP burned my expectations when they said they were laser focused on the ps3. Not sure if I can write that clearer.

I'm not pushing for anything that isn't going to be on the playstation (3 or 4). I'm not a pc gamer...so why would I push it for the pc?? Because it'll be easier to port for ps4 doesn't mean that they will port it to the ps4. If they announced that Legion will be on the ps4, then I would have been glad. But placing it on a platform that I don't play..doesn't benefit me at all.

are the lighting effects really what needs work to make dust a better game?

are the lights reflecting off of the ground what dust needs to be a better game?

what did the demo show that wasn't COMPLETELY aesthetic? they showed nothing. no ewar. no parcour. they even messed up their scripted demo when rouge called the tank pilot 'down' while the tank was still firing.

there was nothing in the keynotes to make us think dust is worth playing for another year.

if ccp's 10 year development plan for dust lasted 10 months, and we spent 18 months in beta... doesn't it stand to reason that legion will suffer the same fate?

No. That is not the point to take away from this FanFest. Allow me to go through how I felt hearing the DUST 514 keynote.

"DUST 514 on the PC? Awesome! That means our game can grow! I wonder what that means for the PS3." Keynote ends. "What? That's it? What about my character, my AUR, my BPO's, my SP?" Dev blog comes out that states Legion is a separate project and DUST 514 will become an arcade shooter. "So the game I have been waiting for is not DUST 514 but this Legion? So did I just wait over 200 dollars and 1,000 hours playing this game with the hope and promise it would be something better?"

Look at every other panel that FanFest had; they were longer, they had more people in the audience, and they had more developers/community managers in them. The DUST 514 Progression and More Sand in the Box were entirely about Legion. Watching the CCP keynote, I got the distinct idea that Hilmar had Rouge come out only because of the storm that was going on. During that, all he said was "we will continue to work on DUST and will see if transferring assets is possible, especially if I get the green light from this man." And that was it.

Simply put, the thing to take away from this FanFest is "CCP has zero respect for the DUST 514 community based on the fact that every presentation was about a separate game and no QA after the keynote to answer some of the most basic questions." You see blogs about the CPM and CSM that state "we have known about this for months and were urging CCP to tell the community sooner"... but that didn't happen.

All that had to change was to have all the features about DUST 514 talked about during the keynote, things to work on, a few buzz words, and bring out NOT Project Legion but "DUST 514 on the PC." There would be some concern over the console only people, which is a real **** move by CCP, but it could have been handled by some calm, rational explanation. But, no. CCP didn't care that the community was left in a frenzy for 24 hours and the only thing to calm us was a "we will see what we can do about asset transfer."

CCP: This is the most despicable thing I have ever seen a company do to its customers.

We already have the PS4

Here's the thing man. We have a LOT of new Devs on the crew and they're not "laser focused on the PS3". This is a callback to an older sort of era before the decision was that the hardware limitations just weren't going to cut it. Imo, it should have never even been a PS3 title because of the new technology we have but it's important to remember that they started this game back in 2009, when the PS3 was alive and well.

Legion has only been worked on for a few months. It's the redirection of the new Devs coming in, seeing the starlight that was Dust's original concept and basically making the fundamental decision to focus efforts onto making that a reality rather than struggling o accommodate it on nearly dead hardware. It's a very recent decision and if you backtrack a while you can actually get an idea of when it started happening because all communication, even from some of the CPM, flat out died because they literally could not discuss this stuff at such an early stage. Fact is: It's so new, so fresh, that the previous philosophies were almost entirely over-ridden because they simply were not working for a long term, enjoyable experience.

And yes, the communication about all of this was bad. They should not have announced this at Fanfest because it is so jarring but it's a point of inevitability in that they had to announce it sometime, somehow, and it was going to suck no matter what. The cards just fell the way they did.

Bear in mind, this is all my theory as from what I've learned since being at the round tables and such. No-one outright told me this.

Wait...that doesn't make sense to you? I expected it to go to the ps4 but CCP burned my expectations when they said they were laser focused on the ps3. Not sure if I can write that clearer.

You can actually contact CCP Support and they will restore your character, or so says CPM Nova Knife.

Just be polite.

I wonder who is responsible for creating the Stupidest Topic of Biomass your characters. I bet that Son of A ***** told other idiots to delete there characters for legion but as of right now. If you deleted your character, nice going genius.

I didnt delete my. Im saying that for those of you who deleted your character are screwed.

i would play pc for legion. that's the thing. i don't care where the game is at.

our game is no more. our skillpoints are valueless. our time is wasted.

That's just the thing though man. They WILL NOT announce it unless they are POSITIVE they can do it. And in order to do it, they need more than just a tech demo and so far it's still up in the air as to whether or not that's the case. Beyond that, All these rumors that Sony is backing out are just plain dumb because they have Valkyrie in line for the PS4 and Morpheus. They never ruled out PS4, they never said it would never occur, just that right now they have a prototype (and they're not bullfighting about it being a prototype, it's pretty darn flippant) and they want to make sure it works before they make any kind of promises they can't keep.
