1) Is Project Legion a "go" or "no go" after the bad reaction it received

The bad reaction is due to the HORRIBLE way they presented everything. Assuming they get their heads on straight and lay out a clear plan for BOTH games Legion will most likely have a good reception.

The bad reaction is due to the HORRIBLE way they presented everything. Assuming they get their heads on straight and lay out a clear plan for BOTH games Legion will most likely have a good reception.

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?

Hey guys,
Since we were all caught of guard by CCP announcement and this, in the process, enraged 90% of the community, now we need them to work harder than ever to deliver us the Project Legion stuff.

Few questions need to be answered in my opinion, since it will decide most of the DUST community future.

For the next weeks;
1) Is Project Legion a "go" or "no go" after the bad reaction it received;
2) How will character transfer work ? Will it really occur ? (This question is the most needed one... since those who plan playing Legion will start gathering resources or trainning based on this answer);
3) How long do you plan the DUST 514 servers to run?

For the next few months
1) Specs required to run the future project (Similar to EVE ? TO PS2?), Since people need time to plan a purchase of a rig;
2) SOLID timeframe for Alpha/Beta start. How long till the conclusion of the project? We need REAL progress tracking and dev blogs at least 2 per month to keep us updated.

The "Don't do this again to us" List:
1) Leave us in the dark;
2) Change projects without consulting us first;
3) Booster sales in a dying game (This was the most absurd thing IMO. I have 1 year of passive booster connected...all for nothing);
4) Specially this one... DO NOT LIE TO US ANYMORE !(LASER FOCUSED ON THE PS3 means LASER FOCUSED ON THE PS3... LASER FOCUSED ON THE LEGION PROJECT MEANS LASER FOCUSED ON THE LEGION PROJECT) (The Caps is not a scream it's to get the attention)

The concept you are working is what keeps me here... I'm losing almost all my corp mates to Destiny ( that game looks like it's going to SUCK BAD! ) because of this decision... I'm mad and needless to say ... all of us are.

Also, please don't delete this topic saying this is a rant... this is a demand ... not a rant,

Demands. Really? They could of rolled this project out a lot better I agree. There are players that are happy of these plans so far though. You do not know the half of CCP has gone through by saying this is what CCP is going to do and then not doing it. You do not want to try to make demands on a time frames in beginning. That is how many big companies screw things up and we do not want to do that. Do we? I have many of the same questions but realize that they might not have the answers yet and wont in the near future.

I think CCP presents gave us a good idea of what their strategy is now as far as bundling all products on PC at first. I am just hoping the pay model does not change for Legion compared to Dust.

It was difficult to remain closed-lipped about the announcement of Project Legion prior to Fanfest

We had countless meetings regarding messaging and how and when to unveil "Project" Legion. Among the very first things we said to CCP, was an emphatic, and unanimous;

"DO NOT WAIT UNTIL FANFEST TO TELL PEOPLE. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TELL PEOPLE AT FANFEST"

Well, good for you.
The fact that you don't have any trouble with the changes doesn't mean that everyone should be "cool" with it...
Some of us will have tons of trouble getting a PC, reuniting the corp, etc.

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.

I know how hard is to listen to people frustation (I really do...)

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.

Can you people PLEASE do something to keep everyone from leaving Dust? I'm one of the only ones left!!!

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.

Let's be honest if you can't gauarentee that Legion won't be riddled with aim bots wall hacks and mods.

DONT EVEN BOTHER making it no green light!

Mate you need to change your sig. I seriously can't read anything you post.

Once again CCP does not get it. Remember, Saberwing, the parts in the OP where he stated the text was bold for emphasis?
That the same part that is causing players to leave not just Dust but all of ccp's products


CCP, as a company, has made clear through it's actions ( and despite its constant denials and empty reassurances ) that players are not valued as loyal customers. Instead, players are to be treated as a resource - a wellspring of cash that must be extracted through whatever business model your new executives deem most efficient.

CCP, you have misled, deceived, failed to inform or interact with the players of DUST who stayed with you through the most difficult times. We, who gave you our time, commitment and hard earned money. We helped make dust and CCP a viable force in this new market - we are the customers you have mistreated to a deplorable degree.

For the record and to silence the idiots: Legion is the right way to go. It's the only reasonable direction for the game and the company.

Do not confuse my drastic and emotional reaction to ccp's terrible business practices over the past several months as unhappiness with thier direction. I have always advocated for fair and reasonable communication from devs to players.

If we had ever been offered that I would still be a customer.

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.


And because its clear from thier comtinued lack of attention or focus on this - the customer loyalty aspect and terrible communication - that CCP intends to keep this the status quo, I intend to never offer them more of my time or money in support of thier business

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

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.

But you did see plans to split the dev team right?

You did see the reduced dev cycle and no substantial content right?

You did see that there was no content about Dust at Fanfest correct?

Part of the team has been working on Legion for some months, and you still need another month to figure out what to do about the game that up until a couple of days ago had paying customers? It never seemed prudent to have that discussion amongst yourselves at some point before now?

The amount of hubris involved in making your post is vast. Just tell Hilmar to draft a new apology letter, he can use the form from the Incarna debacle, and move on.

Every day you are willing to accept money for a game that you know has no realistic chance of ever becoming what is advertised is an affront to good customer relations.

HILMAR you are our only HOPE!

I hope he cancels of any ambitions taken from those PC fanboys at CCP and confronts them with what CCP had achieved in the past of bringing together two platforms into the same universe.
Two completely different communities that emerged on PC and console.
I hope atleast Hilmar realizes that PC community and console community are two completely different kind of people and players, which only have in common a love for videogames and a passion for their individual tools which is a PC OR a console.
CCP should know better that players on the console will never trade places with a PC, for the same reasons why dust was initially not developed for PC.
When microsoft turned their back to you, Sony supported you. They made it happen that dust could see the light.
And now your turning away from those thst supported you!
The same with the community, the console community supported you and joined in to cope with PC gamers, started organizing cross platformwise.
Started to manage huge corporations and alliances on the console.

At you SABERWING,
Im deeply dissatisfied with your qualities as a community manager!
- First of all you dont seem to have a clue what this community was seeking, heck you dont even seem to have noticed that this is a mainly console community for that matter!
- Second of all you never tryed to any extend to get into contact or a relationship towards the core of this community,
- Third you dont seem to have a clue what the vision of dust514 was and in turn brought players of the console platform to join into that vision.
Im calling in a vote to remove you from dust514 and move over to your pc fanboys.
Take CCP Rouge with you while your at it, if he cant see the vision of cross platform gaming happen and is only focussing on a PC version.

I dont know how PC fanboys made it into CPM or made it happen to turn the future of dust from cross platform gaming into single platform.
If you have had representatives from the actual dust 514 community, i am hundert percent sure that none would have agreed to give you any support on your brainless legion approach.
You want to push legion faster? Go ahead!
All you gonna achieve, if at all, is to start a new FPS community on the PC.
But those people your talking to right now, except of the pc fanboys thst wont stfu, will not follow you on your selfish path.
These people here the dust community are made of players that wont spent money on a high end PC to expect the same performance in gameplay as a console.
And dont even think you can mix PC Fps players with console FPS players, we are not going to battle dissillusioned PC players that do 360s aimhack wallhack the **** out of a game.

Hilmar please! Read the forums!
Stop reading the EVE Forums and start listening to the console fans of new eden whos entire world is about to be destroyed by a few PC fanboys in your own company!

The "Don't do this again to us" List:

2) Change projects without consulting us first;
3) Booster sales in a dying game (This was the most absurd thing IMO. I have 1 year of passive booster connected...all for nothing);
4) Specially this one... DO NOT LIE TO US ANYMORE !(LASER FOCUSED ON THE PS3 means LASER FOCUSED ON THE PS3... LASER FOCUSED ON THE LEGION PROJECT MEANS LASER FOCUSED ON THE LEGION PROJECT) (The Caps is not a scream it's to get the attention)

The concept you are working is what keeps me here... I'm losing almost all my corp mates to Destiny ( that game looks like it's going to SUCK BAD! ) because of this decision... I'm mad and needless to say ... all of us are.

Destiny will be 100000X better than Dust 514 and Legion Dont be hattin on it

- 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.

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. :)

Point of clarification here.

You have a 10 year development plan, roadmaps to 2.0, known issues list, vechials, weapons, etc etc etc and you don't know what is happening with DUST 514 beyond when you walk in the door?

"Few things..." "over the next few weeks... hopefully I can figure out more..."

That would be good. -_-

Give Legion the green light GO GO GO GO

As to the progression system, are we going to be able to give feedback on that?

I, for one, think the freedom that we have now that is also available to new players right at the start is better than a system that locks a player into just one role and doesn't allow customization till they reach the top tier.

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

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.

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
