So, this thread may get interesting, it may even make some devs upset with me but whatever, it something that really needs to be said.

I have seen in several posts the extent that people take "Legion being a totally different & separate game" to some crazy extents. Some people making the assumption that as there may be a SSO in the future, assuming that Legion will require an active EVE account or even just a monthly subscription. Others saying that there will be a separate CPM for the game.

Now, honestly I don't know fully why they decided to announce it this way. Maybe its legal reasons, maybe they are trying to get away from the bad press, I don't know. But i just want to make one thing crystal clear.

Legion is the next evolution of Dust.

Dust is a multiplayer sort of RPG style FPS set on the planets in new eden with skills, vehicles, corps and futuristic armour.

Legion will be a multiplayer sort of RPG style FPS set on the planets in new eden with skills, vehicles, corps and futuristic armour and a lot more stuff too. However it will be under a new (imo better) name, with fancier graphics but on a different platform.

Now for all we know, the changes, tweaks and additions could be so vast that it may almost be like playing a whole new game, but then again the differences between what we have today and the first closed beta is so vast it may as well be a totally different game. I like to think Legion being similar.

I like to think Legion being similar. True as it is, that is also what pisses me off the most, it is for all intensive purposes DUST, which in effect means the whole project legion, boils down to. We are sorry to say it but, we can't code for **** on the PS3, so we are taking the majority of the resouces from DUST (since it is still currently on the same engine) and developing using the same DEV UI, SDK and Command Kit a new game that the majority of our small bht die hard troop of Console Fans, can't enjoy a NEW BUILD of the game. The thing is, if they are using the same engine to currently develop legion tjere is no reason why they can't continue to develop for DUST and share the resources they create, they already did it with the weapon and suit models, we currently have. So why don't they say, we have a few more weapons planned for legion, but we will put a small dev team on adding them into DUST so you can "battle test" them for us? It's perfectly plausible to do, wouldn't require much man power. But instead all we have to look forward to is, a series of server side hotfixes for balancing weapons that will still likely be unbalanced in the end anyway. It's great that they are finally pulling there finger out and getting some work done on the FPS of new eden thing, but 1) Did they really have to do it this way 2) Ignore us for a few days afterwards, with nothing more than a prepared 3) did the dev's suddenly decide to get all aggressive and condescending 4) do they really have to leave the console players who have been here with them through thick and thin in the DUST? Looks like its back to FPS Military Shooter 56 Monkey Mac - Just another pile of discarded ashes on the battlefield!
