I see what you mean.

But I still don't see a point in being surprised that Eve Vegas didn't have anything to announce at all on Dust/Legion when everyone already knew in advance that such a topic was not coming up during this year's Eve Vegas.

PS: Don't forget that a large number of Eve Online players don't care at all for Dust or Legion. In fact, I have seen a few players even hope for CCP to stop making FPS games and get back to internet spaceships.

I need to start following EVE more. I had no idea that was going on.
$hit >>> Fan
This is gonna be great. I hope they show up on the Jita 4-4 station and start destroying ships floating outside.

The number of players that want to see that are much higher than most dare imagine.

Eve development is kicking ass right now, with the lack of communication coming from CCP about Legion I'm sure those players along with a ton of former Dust players believe that Eve is the only thing they are focusing on.

I feel bad for my corp mate who went. He does not play EVE, only Dust 514.

They may be more communication there, but IMHO, Reykjavik has been asleep on the job since 2011, when they released their last actual expansion. I haven't seen any EVE development that remotely excites in the last three years.

* Personal opinion, obviously.

CCP seems to not want to communicate with their community about the development of Legion unlike many other companies which seem to update their community so much more on their games. Two games for examples that come up first are Star Citizen, and Warhammer 40k: Eternal Crusade.

I don't expect much news from CCP about how Legions development is going because of how they waited seven months to tell us about Legion at the place and time where one would expect good news about a CCP product.

You can't really blame them though.

Look what happened with Dust.

They told us things they wanted to work on, we took it a gospel. They had ideas, we thought they were in the pipe being developed. It's on us as much as it is them that the conversation has stopped on Legion. They learned the hard way not to tell us anything until it's ready.

Look at the 1.9 announcement, they gave us an inch and immediately people wanted a mile. The told us a dev blog before the end of October (tick, tick) and people wanted it NAOW!

I'm talking about the development, not things that they want to do that would seem awesome.


We want it now because we haven't heard shite about Legion in alongggggggg time. I'd be satisfied if they told us what they simply plan to do with Dust for as long as it lasts and what will be happening with Legion.

It's called "EVE" Vegas. Next.

Right, but they've closed ranks on Legion because of our reactions to Dust.

I wasn't talking about the "oooh, shiny" aspects of Legion. I also meant development. It hasn't been green lit, there won't be any talk until it's officially a product to announce.

They showed off "game play" trailers using Carbon, then had to switch to their modified Unreal 3 engine, and nothing from those trailers applied. Not the look, not the game play, vehicle design, suit design, etc. They are not going to make the same mistake again.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to know more too, just not going to happen.

If Legion get's green lit, we'll see parts of it here first. We all know we're beta testing the balance and design for Legion, should it become real.
