So the alternative seems to be going into silent mode. This doesn't inspire confidence, and makes players fear the worst: that there is very little progress made. I think a conservative (not overhyped) session would have been much better.

What I would have liked to have seen: CCP Rouge takes the stage and apologizes again for how things went down at Fanfest. Shows a chart that indicate DUST's new player retention is higher than its ever been. DUST is stronger than its ever been. This has given us a lot of confidence that there is a solid market for a FPS in New Eden. We've created the missing racial heavy weapons, turrets and vehicles. Here's what they look like [shows slides]. We're in the process of fine tuning these, and we want to get them into DUST so you can help us make them great. It will take more time to downscale these for the PS3 so expect a client patch with these new assets in early 2015. We're also announcing some new BPO packs for the various races at $75 each.

Now let's talk about Legion. We've had some great feedback on Legion and that has caused us to reexamine some of our progression ideas. Here's CCP Z to talk about some of our ideas for progression in Legion. [CCP Z talks for a while] let's open it up for questions.

I think that would have been awesome and gone a long way towards mending the wounds from Fanfest. I don't think it overhyped anything, and it would give the community something to look forward to again, instead of this weird limbo state we're currently in.

Imagine if Blizzard hyped up Project TItan for the last 5 years. Teasing you on how the gameplay, the graphics, the visuals, the dev blogs and snapshots. Then one week after having heated debates with Destiny Fanbois who are celebrating their launch the Titan Fanboys are told their precious game is canceled for good. No more mmo-sci-fi first person shooter for blizzard. CPM 1 Omni-Soldier, Forum Warrior \\= Prototype Assault Rifles =// Unlocked

That's where the difficulties comes in though. A single photo snap from the game no matter how mundane can be hyped to warp 10 because of community members. As for feedback about legion and the loop between cpm, community, and ccp due to the simple fact that CCP is a business and has business things to do and regrettably there is not enough clones of CCP Rogue to go around. CCP is however very mindful of the situation. They're not ignorant of it at all and are very well aware and if the CPM didn't make it that clear to them then we'd probably need to get fired (the council). You just have to patiently wait along with everyone else while CCP thinks of a means or way of moving forward. After all we don't need a third Rouge Wedding at Eve Vegas.
