Quote:What about links between EVE and Legion? WeGÇÖve seen capsuleers in EVE engaging in Orbital Bombardment to blast soldiers on the ground, but that might not appear in this new PC based shooter, or at least not at the start. GÇ£They are part of the things we think of. Part of the vision though, is we need to make Legion an experience by itself within the EVE universe. We are really far away from thinking of a proper EVE link for now; if we find the experience satisfying enough, we will have a link with EVE
I just wanted to say that I think this is a profound mistake to not have an EVE/Legion link at the games launch. Despite it's flaws, being able to work together with EVE players during PC and Faction warfare matches adds a huge dimension to the larger EVE meta game and promotes a great deal of activity in EVE.
My corp has frequent orbital strike fleets to support our mercs and those of our allies. It drives a lot of in-game activity.
I think CCP is underestimating the value an EVE/Legion connection would add to the game.
You need to have it at launch. You have two years of experience to make sure you do it right. You really have no excuse for it not being there.
It should not be something that will come soon(tm) as this is often interpreted by the players as "never" (and on many occasions they have been right.). |

The EVE/Legion link is what made the game compelling. It made the game feel like it really was part of a grander universe. It was a reason for players from two very different games to work together. Without it, it's just yet another shooter.
Is legion going to be yet another lobby shooter with a horde mode? We already have plenty of those thanks. |

It feels like the original vision for Dust is getting scoped down to be little more than a lobby shooter with a scifi theme.
The EVE/Legion link is integral. |

It will get into Legion eventually..
I am not having a go at you personally. But if there is one thing that Dust514 has taught us (the players), it's that statements like this are completely, utterly, untrue.
We need to show CCP that there is merit in having a profound EVE/Legion link at launch, there are no guarantees that it will be added later (if ever).
The community has been talking about building on the interaction between the games. It seems utterly absurd that we are taking a step back. |
