Yes, 100%. I'm hoping CCP Z's presentation videos will be on YouTube at some point this week, and once I'm back in Shanghai I'll try to get some open dialogue going with him for you guys.

Why don't you address everyone else's concerns? Are you just selectively deciding who to respond to based on how eager they are to have a PC game instead of having Dust's vision realized and have it integrated into the EVE universe? Do you even care about Dust 514?

Why is all this legion crap on the Dust forums anyways?

Well ccp you want demans you want the truth put it on ******* ps4, planetside 2 is huge 64 by 64 killometer maps, 2000 plus players, tons more and running on max ps settings on ps4, so i and many others demand project legion on ps4 or loose me or others very soon without a ps4 anouncement soon

Hi guys

I'll do what I can to answer some of your questions over the next few days. :) It's only the first day after Fanfest so I'm a little weary, but I'll do my best! Some answers for you, based on what we know:

- Project Legion will be determined to be a "go" or a "no go" when Hilmar et al. sign off on it. We obviously really want it to grow in to a real boy and become everything this game's vision is made out to be. It's not at the point in development for that call to be made just yet.

- Character transfer is a no-brainer from a conceptual standpoint, but it's specifics are difficult from a development standpoint. I understand the frustration that it wasn't made crystal clear during the keynote. Let me elaborate a little as to why it's difficult, though. As presented in CCP Z's talk, we're working super hard on developing a progression system and economy that will kick ass. So, if some things may not exist or make sense should Legion become a reality, then those items couldn't carry over (in their current form, anyway). Rest assured though, we will do what we can to preserve what is currently there and figure out solutions for what is not. That is my current understanding. :)

- I have seen no plans relating to DUST 514 shutting down at this time. We're still working on some things for it and over the next few weeks (and once I'm back in Shanghai) hopefully I can figure out more of what that will entail.

- It's too early to be able to talk about Recommend Hardware Specs, although I know that the guys are starting to pull a rough idea of these together. The game is still being heavily developed and little has been done in the way of optimization just yet, but this will obviously happen. When we have an idea of minimum specs I'll try to get them out to you. Keep poking.

- Solid timeframe for Alpha / Beta is also impossible to give right now, because the truth is that we honestly don't know until the Project is green-lit. Once that happens then we'll be able to try and formalize those plans.

Ultimately, I don't want to leave you guys in the dark. It was difficult to remain closed-lipped about the announcement of Project Legion prior to Fanfest (trust me!), but it's my intention to try and share as much as I can with you in the meantime.

It'd be mad not to go ahead with it. Sooner it gets done the better!

Please take this Legion talk to the Locker Room as this is the General Discussion for Dust 514.

I constantly see people bringing that HACK subject into the discussion. This will CERTANTLY NOT BE AN ISSUE. Remember that this is a permanent game with permanent characters and with PERMANENT BANS, imagine if any1 with more than a few weeks of gameplay would use anykind of hack and have the risk to get banned?? i am completely sure that hacks will never be a problem in legion.

Why are you on the CPM again?

Quote from Nova Knife's blog:

But CCP decided that the petty dollars they could bleed from us by not communicating would be of more value then continued customer loyalty. Fine- Rouge has decided the price he will charge CCP for short term cash. And many players will no longer be CCP customers.

EXACTLY how much (if any) support can we expect to see for THIS GAME (you remember this game, don't you? Dust514?) and for how long?

Nice man. Cool to hear some sense.

Why stop at simply not giving them money, when you could let people know how they operate their MMO's and prevent their custom also? A handful of short-sighted gamers might have so much invested in this game that they have lost all reason and foresight, but new players are gonna know about this and think twice before they get invested themselves.

Ultimately, I don't want to leave you guys in the dark. It was difficult to remain closed-lipped about the announcement of Project Legion prior to Fanfest (trust me!), but it's my intention to try and share as much as I can with you in the meantime.

Since the debacle, it now looks like CCP has no choice but to give Legion the green light. They said they will be able to get our character stats ported over to Legion so now the only concerns about that part is the "When" and "How".

Also, there needs to be an incentive for console-only players to get a gaming PC. I'm sure almost every console player out there has a PC already, but how many are gaming rigs in particular?

Again? o_O
