i would think BPOs will be pretty much safe especially the suits as they are just cosmetic in legion as the suits are free anyway. and with salvage who knows how the other bpos might get used. so we may have options there too. its way to early to be stirring up the bpo crowd. i talked to logibro about this on the pub crawl this early on it appears to just be a cosmetic issue.

This is absolutely true. We are aware that if we drop people into the game with what they have now, they'll have a very large advantage. But at the same time, we're looking to do a bit better in flattening out the power tiers so that someone without the actual player skill (as opposed to character skill) isn't going to be able to use character skills and equipment to win a fight.

But it's still a question we need to answer, and we're well aware of the need to balance carrying over the investment versus creating overpowered monsters at launch. As I said hopefully having a better overall balance will let us give as much as possible.

Leave and go where?

Skill points is more likely that just bringing over skills that exist in both. However, exactly how they would translate from DUST 514 to Legion is yet to be seen. Main thing we're waiting on for that is for the new progression system to be completed: it's a bit hard to work out how we could move things from one system to the other when the new one isn't finished yet.

The best way to look at it overall though is we want to carry over the investment you guys have made in DUST 514 into Legion. When you think about it in that context, even if things don't translate exactly you can see what we want to do.

If the suits are free that destroys BPOs, it doesn't protect them.
How does turning something unique & rare into the norm protect its value?

We're well aware of it. But we haven't come up with the solution yet as we need to assemble a few more pieces on the puzzle before we can start looking at that part of the picture.

what i have is unlimited suits few others have. in legion they would still be rare and unique and unlimited . why wouldn't they.

CCP Rouge's answer is very vague about this question:

''1) What happens to my character, skills and stuff?

If Project Legion becomes something more than a prototype, we will not leave our DUST 514 players behind. You would be able to bring your character name applicable skills/inventory, and other elements of progression with you.
''

This to me sounds like it doesn't include all accumulated SP. But rather sounds like they will butcher the current skill system and take only the skills they want to Legion.

I don't want skills, I want my skill points! Which is what I worked hard for and spent money on.

Their solution is to have an event to encourage you to spend money days before they announce that dust is dead.

Your not getting your "investment" back, CCP dont give a ****, they have your money and have probs used it on an underage thai boy.

Your assumption is most likely correct. It's highly unlikely that they will let players get a headstart, and especially a headstart over their beloved EVE players. This FF has if nothing else showed they only care about their EVE players going forward.

In the meantime Rouge will likely say a lot of things to try and calm down the Dust players, most of this should not be believed though.

Your character and account info will be transferred to legion. This is how CCP plays on your emotional connection to your character and will hope you follow your character to PC.

They will not transfer SP. The game will not provide such an advantage vs new players. They will want to make money from selling boosters and AUR gear. So there's huge money problems and huge advantage problems that will mean that Skill Points won't be transferred.

I would be very much ok to have my BPOs be converted to a cosmetic item in this case.

Now that's just being honest but I just believe that many just don't care and have gotten over the initial shock .

+ 1 for your truthfulness .

You know what is funny, that is the only chance they have of me sticking around. Give me my 40 mil sp, my 500 mil isk, my 2k protosuits worth of stuff. Otherwise loose a customer for life, because I will not in any way shape or form continue giving business to someone who essentially robbed from me.

In addition, Sony will probably insist that the game talks to their servers somehow,
