I really hope it isn't going to development hell.

They said items, sp, and isk would be transferable so I am not worried. While the new features that will be added in legion are epic the most important thing is re-branding even if it was Dust 2 with some proper marketing. They have the best fps here and once everyone hears some buzz it is going to blow up. I would be a little disappointed if it was not on ps4 I need a reason to buy one.

Then don't spend money on a game with the mindset that it must exist 1 year from now. Ask yourself, "Will spending $X on this game provide me enjoyment for at least 30 days?" If the answer is yes, then buy whatever it is. If it is no, then don't.

Take this advice and you will enjoy gaming a great deal more.

Familiarize yourself with this legal concept.

Spending money on it should add something resembling entertainment to your life. Stop caring about what CCP does with the that money and start caring about if your purchase will add enjoyment to your weekends.

If you really feel that way then head off to greener pastures I'm still having fun playing Dust 514 and I want to see where this Legion thing is going, so I'm going to stick around.

so if legion is redlight, you can't even tell us?!?!

While CCP may push more aurum sales to us?

I am sure this has to be some kind of typo or momentary error in logic.

Of course we couldn't tell you. We signed an NDA.

That said, I think if we stopped talking or answering questions about it, you could make a pretty good guess as to its status.

I know this hurts most people.. but I'm not looking forward to the aim bots on PC.

Aeon, bro, first let me say that it is good to see you around again and reiterate my offer to start catching some squads

Second let me ask you this Why So Serious?
While explicit details are beyond the scope of what is allowed by the NDA in this context I can say this much
When I was elected CPM I had no intention of spending another dime in Dust 514. However as recently as this month I purchased the largest AUR pack with no trepidation.

Make of that what you will, but you've known me for awhile man and while nothing in gaming - or life - is ever secure or certain not really I'd like to think you know by now that I do not make my choices without consideration and reason.

Will my reasons always match everyone elses? Of course not because no one can legitimately claim that is true, but here is something that is true due to my interactions with the CCP Dust team I went from casual play status back to capping out at least one character every week. Could something still go wrong? Sure, something could always still go wrong this is life so I am not pretending otherwise but I can simply and bluntly say that this is the most confidence I have had in the Dust team since sometime in closed beta.

Here is something else that is true, the more support - and yes of course this includes spending money on the game - that Dust gets the better the chances of a positive outcome. The less support - which also includes active players and constructive actionable feedback - the game gets the lower the chances of a positive outcome.

I realize that is pretty much basic reasoning, but it is also - simply put - the heart of the matter.

In the end, everyone makes their own choices based on what they want to see happen.

EDIT: PS ~ I still strongly believe in communication between CCP and the Community and heartily support the notion of there being more information supplied with regards to development generally and Legion specifically.
That being said I also give credit where it is due, Logibro and Rattati have made substantial strides in community interaction/involvement in the hotfix process and IMO we as players (especially those of us who've been around long enough to contract 'bitter vet' syndrome) should not let the past mistakes of others overshadow the current accomplishments of the guys working Dust development now.

You do realize that CCP has said that no decision has been made about greenlighting a project that is still very much in Alpha stages, right? It's only been 5 months - games take much longer than that to get to a point where it is ready to be greenlit (not a year like you say).

As a grown man who does software development for a living I am blown away at how many self entitled whiners there are in the DUST community.

I've spent about $150 on this game and I have no regrets. I have no regrets because it's a game I play almost every day and I've derived hundreds if not thousands of hours of enjoyment from it.

CCP owes me nothing. I won't pout and whine and insist that CCP tell me what they are doing when the reality is that I didn't even pay enough money to cover one days wages for a developer.

Unless you commission the work and pay for the whole project, then CCP owes you nothing.

All you freeloaders who play this game everyday while refusing to pay because you "don't approve of the direction CCP is taking" are basically parasites.

For those few who invested significant amounts of money, I can understand that you are disappointed and I want to thank you for supporting the game, but those are the breaks and you should of understood that nothing is owed to you.

GǪ we will no longer be able to trust anything that CCP says beyond the shadow of a doubt. Also, CCP will prove they are the sad also ran of a game company they have fought so hard to dispel.

Go ahead CCP, make a slick video for fanfest about what you'd like to do instead of what you actually have been able to do.


Lol.

I mentioned it when Legion was first announced: it has the potential to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"Hey guys! We are making Legion! It is supposed to be what DUST was meant to be all along! It will be on the PC!"
* "Wait a minute... Does that mean that you can't get DUST to be DUST and are stopping development?"
"No! DUST will just be different. It will be a lobby shooter."
* "So you are bait and switching us. We put money into DUST 514 on the PS3 because you said it was going to be, well, DUST 514. Now you tell us we are playing the wrong game?"
"Don't worry. Your investment will transfer!"
* "What does that mean?"
"*silence for 6 months.*"

So we go crazy. We hate Legion because we are made at CCP for moving the goal post. So now CCP can look at it and go "I guess they don't want Legion" when we do want Legion; we just don't want CCP to handle information release and DUST as poorly as they have.

We need Legion because CCP already said "we can't do it on PS3." That right there should be reason enough for the game to be green light and have everything transfer. Just call it DUST 514 rather than EVE: Legion.

And onto the platform it should've started with: PC , development wise it'll be the best way to go.

I love pc but the ps4 would be their best bet. Pc has to many good games for anyone outside of Eve to care about legion.

On a semi-positive note:
Something that never existed could never die.
