On this point you note incorrectly. While I do have connecting elements highlighting emergent game play ideas within the context of Legion, emergent game play is the fundamental bedrock of New Eden and by no means is it limited to Legion or should it be considered as absent from/irrelevant too Dust 514.
Put directly, the emergent gameplay aspect of my platform applies to every game in New Eden, but as a CPM my interaction with it would be via Dust 514 since that is the game which I would be elected as a community representative of.
As to Dust specifics, I currently lean towards aspects such as role/niche definition, tiericide, removal of "dead/blank" skill levels, reintroduction of absent vehicle types (and a commensurate buff to infantry based AV).
But in the final analysis it would be my role as a community rep to pass on community feedback to CCP on this subject, not try to define it myself.
The key point for emergent game play as I see it, is to provide for a dynamic set of player choices in a persistent environment. Obviously that does not contain the specific road map, but it is a guiding goal and I would specifically shy away from the conception that the CPM, let alone any single member on it, should specifically define any such things.
CEOPyrex CloneA wrote:And on your last point - Cross Platform integration - it was a great read and certainly gives route for some exciting product development but i would like to clarify, are you suggesting Dust 514 should be put across platforms or is this another Legion deliverable you wish to be part of?
Thanks for clarifications and replies!

Regarding cross platform aspects. I believe that the ideal situation is one in which all meaningful Dust assets are eventually migrated to Legion (say once Sony ceases support for the PS3 hardware) and that at such a time Legion be available for play on both the PC and PS4.
I acknowledge, as NanoCleric points out that there are some technical hurdles to overcome here and that it is likely most effective and actionable to get a stable and balanced Legion 1.0 build live before pushing out to console, purely for the technical aspects therein (such as Sony approval process and that even console only games are natively coded and developed on computers thus enabling a more rapid and dynamic environment for development polish to be applied.
However while acknowledging the technical side of things, and further that the CPM has been stated to have only a limited level of involvement/access with regards to Legion I would very much like to support our console based community members as well. There are aspects which can be taken into account from a basic level which lend themselves to an effective console deployment without requiring one prior to iterating on them. Including controller support rather than just KBM is one obvious example, still an asset even on PC only but lends itself to a faster transition onto PS4.
Depending on the mechanical features of Legion (such as how the skill system works etc) elements of the UI can be iterated on in a flexible way to provide needed adaptability. Again this is an asset even while Legion is on the PC, but paves the way for a deployment on PS4 as well. Hardware optimization is another, it is of value to be able to play on as many hardware configurations as possible and there's little reason to avoid testing the Legion client on a PS4 hardware equivalent in advance of an actual port. I don't claim to have an exhaustive list of possible considerations, but what I do have is a firm belief that as much as technically possible our entire Dust community should be represented in the ongoing choices made coming from CCP with regards to both Dust 514 and Project Legion.
Thanks for the questions and I hope if there are any more you will feel free to ask 
Cheers,
Cross
ps ~ NanoCleric, if the above response regarding Legion does not seem to address your concerns please elaborate, I've slept less than five hours in the past thirty-six and counting so I may be accidentally overlooking something. If so, sorry about that.

Since stickies can sometimes become 'invisible at the top of the page' I've decided to include a couple of links here for anyone reading this thread.
Because the best way we can get a top flight CPM 1 for all of us is to have an informed and active community participating in the voting process.
Be sure to mark the date, and vote everyone, it won't take long to vote but the effects will last quite awhile.
Cheers,
Cross

Hi!
Great reply, thanks for taking the time to reply to my questions so fully and honestly.
I think that you are in a good place to gain a seat, you are showing some real credibility and something that i think is perhaps missing from others campaigns which is 'rigour'
That term being perhaps something we do need to see in the CPM is a level of rigour that expands them away from being merely unpaid gamers talking about a game to that of a resource giving a serious narrative of the micro and macro environmental conditions that are effecting (and will continue to effect) Dust 514, Legion and CCP.
my slight concern would be that much of what you are proposing to lead the charge on will never be developed on Dust 514 so perhaps you may find you have little to no voice / platform in the immediate chain of events until Legion activities come through?
This isn't my opinion, more a question of confirmation?
Thanks and good luck with the campaign!

Thanks for the questions, an engaged player base makes for a stronger game (in my perception) so the interaction is appreciated.
The first and foremost thing I'd like to lead the charge on is expanding and cementing community interaction/communication with CCP. I respect what CCP Rattati and his team have done post FanFest but I don't think that communication is one of those things where you reach a reasonable point and then put it on a shelf and call it "done".
It should be, in my view, an ongoing process and an interactive one between CCP and the community.
That is my foremost priority, the fostering of that interchange, and that can start happening right out of the gate.
From there my further commitment to Dust 514 and the office of CPM would be guided greatly by the context and player base. I used the tag "emergent candidate" not just because I believe in emergent gameplay but also emergent Dust development where the choices of the community matter and where even the Devs at the highest levels can be surprised and pleased by what we as players manage to come up with and accomplish with the assets we have.
Even if everything else I'd like to accomplish were somehow off the table until Legion, which I'm not completely resigned to it being so, the heart of my desire to run, the desire for meaningful communication and persistent player choice (but in and outside of the game client) offers enough to keep me active and engaged through the entity of a CPM 1 term should the players deem me to be one of the seven selected for a seat.
If you'd care to delve into further details of this subject in a more organic format I'd willingly join you for an interview prior to the election 
Thanks again for stopping by and bringing questions
Cheers,
Cross

Glad I could get the chance to converse with you on the topic of community interaction and Dust 514 emergent options prior to the election in a few days. 
As ever, appreciate the questions

Hi again Cross,
Yes i'm glad you acknowledge that it's important for Legion being a stable and complete build before going onwards with ensuring we have it onthe PS4 too. My worry is not just the technical implications but the simple ability of CCP. I'm all too familiar with seeing CCP as developers fall short.. and that happens most often when their focus is divided. To this end i believe they should have a primary focus on one platform (not to say they shouldn't design with PS4 in mind for future too). I just feel if they are pushed for the PS4, we'll end up with a far less quality build than we would otherwise letting them do one before the other. So i 'really' don't want them to be pushed on that. :)
As for supporting the Playstation users.. definately without a doubt support should be ongoing for Dust514, and personally what i would hope to see is a 'finished game', it still to this day feels like a beta for me. There are far too many mechanics which were never refined.. it feels like they were rushed in and left in an unfinished state. Rather than other people suggesting new features, models, etc.. etc.. i just hope they will actually finish the game and make it more polished.. Though i also recognise the amount they can change will be limited if there is a complication with releasing more client buiilds. If nothing else.. i would support the concept of taking Dust514 onto PS4 in the meantime too.. pre-stable-legion-pc-build.. To keep the support going for the playstation users.
Aside from my points, you were already on my list for votes, but your past few posts have cemented that descision. Wish you all the best in your campaign and you can count on a vote from me. |

Thanks for the continued questions and conversation NanoCleric, it's great to have people engaged in this election 
I know not everyone has the same time/involvement level so I hope you'll share your impressions and information with the guys you know in game. The more folks who turn out to vote, and the better informed they are, the better the overall results will be.
I appreciate your support and please do feel free to bring up any other questions or concerns you may have now or later. Not only during the election process but especially if I am one of the seven elected.
Cheers,
Cross

I have to say that Cross is one of the better read and better treading Candidates I have seen so far and doesn't seem to let knee jerk reactions have the best of this candidate.
The articulated replies is evidence to a mind focused and concise; and one that thinks ahead for any and all consequences of actions. To best say a voice of reason and source of morals for the council could be best found in Cross and I trust this candidate will have the tenacity enough to keep the fellow members in check. While continuing to serve the greater community.

I believe that voting privacy is deeply important to protect. However in the specific case of my ballot I also felt it important to share not only the selections, but more importantly the reasoning and methodology that went into them.
My thoughts on this subject can be found here and I encourage the community to inspect them.
I believe the motivation behind why I've made the selections that I have is relevant to my candidacy as I have throughout my run kept front and center the awareness that the members of CPM 1 will - in effect - form a squad out of game and an inability to work professionally and effectively together (while still not always agreeing with each other) is central to the fundamental premise of CPM 1 as a value added resource for the community.

Below I am linking the endorsement threads (or posts), and ballot declarations of each candidate who has made a public declaration that I am aware of. I am presenting this for informational purposes so that our community can not only select a robust CPM 1 to represent them but also select a CPM 1 that will bothhold each other accountable (by not always simply 'going along to get along') and also work as a team (so that we don't waste valuable community time on pointless bickering and infighting).
The list is as follows

Cross

The elections have started, but that does not mean that the communication is closed. If anyone has questions to pose please feel free, I'm happy to field constructive questions to the best of my ability (hey, I'll even field outright trolling questions sometimes  I'm a bit on the talkative side).

OOoooo, hum, can I go with German Pancakes (while hoping this isn't one of those horrible US naming conventions like "french fries"). Those guys, with some fresh fruit, are super tasty.
