Been something I've been badgering the guys on Skype about. While I love the idea of Legion, it kind of angers me that we're pouring so much effort into a game that would be Dust 514 as it was intended (let alone without being green lit) and abandoning the game that is actually pulling revenue, at least as far as active development goes.

Considering the sheer lack of communication and status updates about Legion, I'm starting to get the impression that it didn't get green lit/is still up in the air... Which, I can't help but wonder what you do with an entire development team that went off to make a game without 100% authorization from the higher ups.

Do they drop Legion all together and essentially have wasted an entire year of development to come back to Dust 514?
Do they take the White Wolf - World of Darkness route and just fade away..?

Inquiring minds need to know where all the money is going from these BPOs that are suddenly being sold.

You have to kind of wonder why the bloody hell any of us should even buy the BPOs/Boosters anymore when we don't know that the revenue is being put into anything that contributes to the longevity of the game we're playing, be it on the PS3 or on the PC.

And as far as the CPM whispering sweet nothings in our ear about Project Legion - bear in mind that the CPM 0 for the longest time had a rather hopeful outlook on their faces up until the Project Legion announcement at Fanfest; when the curtain was pulled to reveal the nebulous concept that, "Hey, we've -TECHNICALLY- been doing development!". So, I'd take that as a grain of salt because (like just about everything else) there's very little to show for it as proof.

To be completely honest, if I were an investor, I'd be kinda pissed at the whole situation. As a consumer, I have to think like an investor at times and this is one of them. Why should I invest in something that I have no idea is being put to good use, despite simply being told (repeatedly I might add) that it -is- being put to good use?

Just assume for a second that Project Legion -did not- get green lit... That development for both Legion and Dust 514 has been cancelled. What good does it do to spend money on it? That's the assumption I have until I see something concrete.

Well if we're expected to take that advice, let's all just go play more worthy games and let this one die off in peace, lol.

And if it doesn't go anywhere?

Honestly nope, in MAG there was healhty push bz game to playing cooperatively.
PL2 most strategic level is just Zerging the base.
(trust me i played that game for really long time)

Oki once again.

Coop and strategy (MAG) against Zergin' (Pl2)
I go for Coop

PS2 had trumped that card at launch. though lately its hard to find anything larger than a dust 514 squad to go kill in that game.

I really hope I am wrong though, and all this silence was just a symptom of "must work faster, no time for community-management".

So what's the hold up..? Why keep absolutely silent - haven't we already come to the conclusion a billion times over that silence can lead to nothing but bad things?

Same here, first of all dont have Pc for it, second of all dont want to buy pc for it and third and most important thingie there was some thingies what was promised some time ago and i basicaly still waiting for them

Either way don't take the CPM's silence on a directed question as confirmation either; you'll get burned real quick.

Don't start fresh, dust off the old clone and let me know if you do, I might join you

Ratatti does not want to make us promises he can't keep.

I just don't see what they have to lose by talking about Legion. It either happens or it doesn't. But not talking about it certainly has an effect. People are giving up on whatever hope they recaptured after getting kicked in the gut at FF.

If they talk about Legion and it doesn't happen then it's over. I've tried, but I can't come up with any good reasons for CCP to be silent about Legion.

I think it will be next to impossible for any person that's ever been under Dust's spell to NOT get a PC to play Legion.

I think of Dust with PVE on better hardware and I worry about needing to get therapy for gaming addiction.
