This is a horrible idea. I dislike bringing it up, but Destiny is already a massive game CCP. It has the ability to collect loot, engage in contracts at YOUR choosing, and you still get a nice fighter to look at. There's player interaction, seamless public events, and this is just from 5 hours playing the beta...
I'm not saying Legion can't do this better, but it true needs to sell itself from the pack. There are a wealth of games that will be coming out soon, and Legion needs a serious "Buy me" factor. You have a community that saves they aren't going to Legion, there needs to be a reason to. You already have an established and esteemed IP, and that needs to have a game built AROUND that. There is no problem with people saying, "Legion is what players do when not playing EVE" because you can make Eve need Legion as well. You are repeating the same mistakes that you made with Dust, and that has gotten us with a very little connection and usage from Eve save for PC, which is very costly, and FW, which hard as there aren't too many popular channels, and FW on the Dust side has issues.
Destiny is much like Legion, but Legion should exploit Destiny. You guys may be able to have Guardians fight each, but I'll be getting an Armada of Titans and Cruisers to have a Mini-war while us mercs rage Hell on Okomon V in an attempt to break into the player customized district.
I do not recall ever getting a Headline for Dust. You need to make them for Legion. Please make the around as a spin-off on Eve, not as a standalone trying to say, "Oh yeah we also have this game." I'm not saying it won't be enough, but if we can get a solid foundation of connectivity first with some core game features to be established, then you have a winner. Please, I implore you to not make this mistake. Legion really could become the next BIG thing in gaming, but that requires making one game give a crap about another in real-time. It's something you kinda did with Dust, now flesh it out and make it a crucial of Legion, with other side things and the rest of the game if the player just wants to shoot things
Technology is growing too fast so the idea from 2009, and fail attempt to introduction it a few years later would be something revolutionary in market of tomorrow. Competition is not sleeping which can be seen in every similar game. Accepting that Legion will not be top 1 game of year will help you draw realistic sketch of how Legion will look like, and it definitely will be much better then DUST.
People that play DUST and tell that they will not move to Legion without seeing even beta of Legion, have exactly same reason that a couple of years ago EVE players had when they realize that DUST will not be launch on PC - "I do not have hardware to play it".
About that EVE-link, I think that Legion will have at lest 5x what DUST have for several reasons: 1. Hardware: - PS3 is old(8yrs), writing new game on extremely old hardware require simplifications in programming and in content that game have to offer; pretty much on every step you have to care about improving game to much, because it may destabilized game play. - New PC is easier platform for improvement, it can deal with all graphic effects, shadows, renders, futuristic light and stuff that we can dream of for DUST. 2. Same platforms less problems: - every DUST attachment need to be approve by SONY - this extends the time between developing and giving "it" to consumers. - I bet that that we will be able to fire-back to orbit without problems in Legion and do all other stuff without problems that we have on PS3..
