Nothing has changed since Fanfest.

From CCP's point of view, Dust is still dead (despite the hotfixes, I wouldn't expect any further development, or anything more than basic life-support, to milk it for all it's worth until it's lost enough players that it is no longer feasable to keep the servers up), and Legion has still not been officially (read: publicly) green-lit.

As far as content, what you've got now is all there will ever be for Dust. Any ideas to the contrary are just wishful thinking by people who either will not, or cannot accept the reality of the situation.

A few hotfixes doesn't change the fact that CCP all but abandoned Dust to focus on their next (potential) project.

Iknow this sounds negative, and many people here are still clinging to false-hope, but it is the reality of the situation, and the sooner people accept it, the easier it will be when the servers inevitably go offline.

It won't be today, or next week, or next month, bit it WILL happen.

It is inevitable.

Enjoy what you've got while it lastd, because Dust's days are numbered, and have been since Fanfest.

Is that mean there is no future or its stand for work still in progress?! Any info will be really apreciated, because after long negativistic time i put finally hope in dust (after improvements like balancing and hotfixes), but this seems like setback to me once more. Sadly im again confused like after EvEfest It's not a reflection of what's to come but of what happened in the past. Back then CCP made too many promises thinking they have the skills to make Dust a great game complete with an economy, industry, PVE, sovereignty warfare, all racial vehicles, pilot and commander suits, etc. But corporation mismanagement caused a series of delays that resulted in many of those promises to never be realized in Dust but instead got reserved for Project Legion. That is what was crushed in broken promises. However this doesn't entirely mean Dust has no future. It's just that the future is small in the form of hotfixes. Surprisingly these recent hotfixes were so well thought out that players are slowly starting to come back. Unfortunately, according to the metrics posted on Eve-Offline.net, the number of players coming back doesn't seem to be much as many who left already vowed to never come back regardless of how far Dust improves. But still the future for Dust is small compared to the future for Legion because 1) Dust is on the PS3 which is already considered to be very close to the end of its market life cycle, 2) there are only a few devs working on Dust compared to the multitude of devs working on Legion, and 3) reviews given by professional game critics some time ago have already damaged Dust's image.

This is why I'm looking forward to Legion's development. Dust now feels like it's been relegated to being a testing platform for Legion.

I am sure the rest of the team is developing econ, new maps, Pve Conception, and proper eve interaction, space station design central hub/guild, and Space ship design since we will be able to board ships supposedly. Um... when was the last time you visited the forums before now? Did you bother to watch Fanfest 2014? Did you read the PCGamer article? Did you read The Guardian article? All of those features we were promised for Dust is no longer coming to Dust. They're coming to Project Legion instead. Here are some links. Read up when you have the time.
