You may or may not be correct. However, any predictions before 2015 Fan Fest is a waste of breath.

I would suspect that CCP has 2015 as a prototype demo with 201t6 being a release target. That depends entirely on whether they can keep their investors satisfied with pouring funding down the same pit that Dust514 was. If they were planning on a FF/2015 release they will start leaking information after the first of the year.

CCP is actually a small company. They have low costs for their game system and make an enormous profit from EVE. Unfortunately they are burning through more cash than they make. They do not have the resources to do two full games. They definitely do not have the resources to compete with the major studios (Activision's Destiny, et al).

Valkyrie shows promise but they have compromised their position regarding Oculus VR by also committing to a Sony exclusive. Which might become significant or might not matter at all. Ugh

In November CCP's financial picture should be clarified. The last financials I saw (June 2014) showed they were losing $1M per month. An accountant could make more sense of it as I am not one, nor did I ever aspire to be one. Pirate

We will have a clearer picture if Legion survives this coming Fan Fest.

We need a lot of things. If we ever get them, it will be in Legion not Dust 514. Straight up flight shouldn't be attainable by dropsuits. Jet packs should just give 200% - 400% jumping heights, imho. My advice to you, playa...

Hell give them both as variants. Make people choose between control and speed.

sabre prime Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 606	Posted - 2014.10.14 20:32:00 - [8] - Quote Jet packs as special equipment for assaults. Shouldn't give sustained flight, but just extra jump hight and maneuverability off buildings. Like that titanfall thing. Bubble shield as special equipment for logistics. Increases survivability of logis when in the heat of the mosh pit. They cannot shoot when shield is deployed. Cloak stays as special equipment for scouts obviously. The slow blade penetrates the shield.

I'd think more a squishy light suit to make people choose between agility or durability although I guess a more squishy medium would do well also. But I still like Battlefront 2 jetpacks making you choose between a big quick leap with no control or slow but you can control yourself more and hover.

True but CCP shouldn't have a problem when it comes to competition. Destiny is nothing more than a lobby shooter imo. Players call it MMO but really 6 vs 6 = mmo xD lol. Destiny was just way to over hype that I thought it was going to be a open world but sadly its not. DLC whoring with expansion crap. I hope CCP doesn't do that with Legion. I have faith in Legion. Hopefully legion doesn't have turn into Grenade field 4 from developer DICE on pc. MAG Raven vet 7 times. Favorite weapon F90 and Highest Kills 78 and 23 deaths.
