As we know CCP has talked about the transition of character progression to Legion but they have not given any specifics yet; i.e. vague comments on youtube and lack of a devblog on the topic. People who've invested $$ to support Dust deserve to know how much of that investment, if any, will carry forward when Dust is retired. CCP has kept us in the dark for nearly four months now and I think it is high time we hear from CCP.
As a candidate do you feel that CCP is communicating poorly in this regard? Do you feel that the transition plan is something CCP should communicate to Dust players ASAP? As a CPM member do you feel it is your responsibility to push CCP to communicate with the players in a timely manner? Do you plan on playing Legion if it is released or do you hate the PC master race?
I think its important to differentiate between "CCP" as in the corporation, and "Legion Developers". I get the impression that CCP is preventing Legion Devs from talking about the progress. Why? Who knows, upper management at CCP does weird and often stupid **** quite often.
Are the Devs communicating properly? Not quite, but it may be out of their hands. I think however that some information is better than no information, especially when many players are spending money under the assumption that it will carry into Legion. And not only that, there is a lot of time and emotional investment in this franchise, and CCP needs to make it a priority to put their loyal fans's minds at rest. We deserve to know ASAP.
As for the CPM's responsibility? Absolutely, it should always be a hard hitting point for the CPM to encourage better community communication. However keep in mind that the CPM primarily speaks with the Developers, so if upper CCP management is saying "No go", the Devs hands may be tied, regardless of what they may want to talk about or not. CPM can ***** and moan and be generally annoying, but at the end of the day they can't force CCP to do anything. I can ***** and moan and be annoying as **** and I will do everything I can to push for what the player base needs, but I also can't force change to happen if CCP is dead set on not doing something. It's an ugly truth, I know.
As for Legion, I will of course be player. I have a gaming PC, but I grew up a console kid and that'll never change. Dust is on PS3, so it is a primary focus of mine to make sure that Legion makes to PS4 at some point in the development process.
Like my ideas?
