I'm willing to wager $10 that CCP Shanghai is working on another project (not Legion) at this point.

Wow, do I really need to explain this..?
Okay, so if the development studio that's working on Dust 514 and Project Legion is working on another project.... then that means that they're not working on either of those things anymore. Which means all the revenue (money, if you didn't know) you're dumping into the game is being spent on something that has absolutely nothing to do with it's (Dust's) longevity.
On the train now? Kthnx.
Lot of the community left after the Legion announcement because it basically meant they were abandoning Dust 514. And other then the work Rattati/Logibro and the gang have been shelling out, they pretty much have. Imagine if they came out and said they were working on something else instead..? Get it now?

There are very few gaming companies of a reasonable size that don't have multiple projects on the go. The vast majority never get past the concept stage so are never spoken of publicly.
I'd be rather alarmed at such an isolationist view if CCP chose not to keep their options open. Poor business sense to put all your eggs in one basket I'd have thought.
So as my real life job is being a bookie I'd have to give you very short odds on that bet. Odds on in fact.

Really no announcements about Legion or Dust this fanfest?!!!
Seriously wtf are they doing over at Shanghai? Why can't they see that the community is starving for news about Legion?
Now I'm just closer to saying "fk it I'm going to invest in Star Citizen" and eventually forget about this nightmare trip that has been SoonTM. They're pretty much asking the community to leave but hand over some of your money on the way out.
Should Legion be on the ps4?

Same here, been following up with StarCitizen, and so far I've invested $80 into it. Lol. But still, StarCitizen is not exactly what i was looking for, even with the whole FPS part of it. I just dont like how its going to be instanced gameplay with major focus on PvE.
Was really hoping Legion would be officially announced this fanfest. To me, Dust 514's original concept is a dream come true in gaming, and was hoping CCP would accomplish it with Legion :( |

Agreed I really would like to see that accomplished with Legion and Valkyrie added as gateways into New Eden. The whole instanced thing in Star Citizen is a bit of a problem for me but it'll still be what I'll go to if CCP or just Legion flops. Which is..... I'd like to say unlikely but without seeing anything for Legion for way too long I just can't say that.

If the EVE Keynote announces that EVE players will be given the ability to get out of their pods, get into a dropsuit, and participate in land battlesGǪ I will be pissing myself laughing.
That would be neither a DUST nor Legion announcement!
Or, they may have changed the name againGǪ
Or, they just want to talk to members under the radar without the media hype of a Key Note.

Legion could still be announced at fan fest. you don;t need a keynote for it to announce it. You merely have Rouge get on stage during CCP presents which is the last keynote on the last day and go 'Hi guys, just so you know we have green lite project legion.. thanks' simple. They said they are not planning on making any announcements. That doesn't mean they won;t. But we will see what happens. And besides as already said if CCP Shanghai is focused on another project, then dust and legion are dead. So why would you make that bet or hope for that if you enjoy your game? |

I am honestly dumbfounded.
An entire year after they announce ditching Dust 514 for a PC game that some of the current community may not even be able to play, they're not even going to say anything about Project: Legion either?
Let's not forget that they had a panel or presentation of some kind for World of Darkness for at least the last few years before they canned that.
Now a brand new project that they only announced last year gets completely ignored at the largest press event held by the company?
Can CCP Shanghai even still be called part of CCP Global anymore? It sure doesn't feel like it.

Yes, It feels like Dust514, the MMOFPS, deeply integrated within the EVE universe, has been ditched.

Okay, I do feel your pain on that one, as I believe the biggest selling feature for DUST 514 is still a link to EVE. CCP's not against revisiting the EVE link, but they feel DUST (or Legion) needs to be a very good game independently first. (I think the EVE link will help it reach that point, IMHO.)
But Uprising 1.9 would not have happened if DUST 514 had been ditched.

Of course they "ditched" dust 514, otherwise why would they had halt content development for their game , make a new game on a different platform that supposedly be their original vision, and split the development team with others either leaving the company or getting pulled to a different studio? With the addition to making an advert to the game and never even using it and of course the recent announcement that Legion or Dust won't have any big focus during Fanfest, that should give a clue on what their focus and intentions are.
It may not be completely abandoned, but they hardly committed to Dust like they supposedly was before. |

I wouldn't take that bet, but I'd imagine that about half of the shanghai team has been reallocated to improving Dust while a small subsection has been put on continuing to "explore" the possibility of Legion. Basically, my feeling is that the choice has been to make dust as much of a workable (meaning profitable) game as possible before any further work goes into Legion.

1.9 is just a more articulate monetization of existing assets.
Until I hear anything from EVE devs regarding EVE: Legion, or the unified EVE Online (EVE/Valk/Legion) they seem to be setting up for, its dead.
The only thing that really makes these games more interesting than others is EVE as represented in CCP's approach to sandbox multiplayer single shard gaming, player economy, etc.
The funniest part is that they have the special sauce, they just never served us very much of it after running scared from Incarna. It's still the fulcrum by which CCP's fate pivots.
Dust thus far has only delivered the 'module system' akin to EVE. After 5 years (1st gameplay demos in '09) and we're still tweaking a basic and functionally incomplete set.
What did EVE look like 2 yrs after launch? (I found it in '07-'08)
By that metric is Dust/Legion equally far along?

Welcome back Aeon.
CCP has been putting more effort into Dust 514 recently. With such a lean dev team working on two games is a terrible use of resources. My guess is Legion is on ice for an indeterminate amount of time.

True it's still a skeleton crew, just because CCP are doing tentative updates doesn't mean they got many hires that replaced the original people . Most likely some Legion and Dust developers are going back and forth or something else. |

The funny thing about these posts being made before the Roadmap release is now there are even MORE questions.
The biggest one being: if Dust 514 is now getting client updates again, what does this mean for Project Legion?
I think pretty much all of us are in concurrence on the idea that if the game is going to do any better, it's going to need to eventually move to a different platform. Is this still the intention, or is the current waterfall of new AURUM content just a prelude to the home office deciding they've gotten all they can here and pulling the plug?

Mobius, I feel the people working on DUST have a long-term commitment to their players. I think we're all very well aware that the PS3 platform has a limited lifespan, but obviously CCP is not ready to announce anything more in that department at this time.

CCP doesn't seem to be ready to announce anything at any time. Part of the reason for discontent within the community is because of the silence game they keep playing, something we expected would change after Fanfest because the big surprise was out. It doesn't seem like anything was learned from the mistakes at Fanfest.

The fact that CCP is smart enough to not be making a big deal at Fanfest this year is proof CCP has learned from the mistakes of the last two years of Fanfest.
It's not a 'silence game', so much as they're not at a point where they have something they can announce.

sadly soraya your having to fight CCPs rep here, history points to the fact that CCP are awful at making new games... i think the community can safely assume legion is not happening for a long time (years) because if it was impending we would be seeing something by now.
with valk also coming up (if that ever comes out itself) its a smart assumption that required resources are focused their.
i dont really have much faith in the company not to cashcow dust until the ps3 install base moves along. and then close the game down and just focus on EvE again with Valk being a one development due to novel tech making it being an easy sell.
the community has nothing to base any good faith on from CCP or CPMs until that changes i cant see legion communty not being hostile to being told everything fine and working well. that has just simply never been the case with anything CCP has ever made.
....i dont really have a point here other than posts always come across as the community not being reasonable which in some cases probably fair but in this one... in regards to CCP developments and are we ever actually ever going to see any kind of progress outside of talk... all evidence points to it will be talk for years dont wait around

I assume that DUST will continue to evolve while the playerbase is around/paying for it. What CCP need to do in my opinion is let us know that Legion is being developed in parallel and will take over once DUSt has reached its logical conclusion and can be developed no further.
But until we hear it from CCP wtf is going on over there? Cus what we heard last year was we are moving development to PC hoorah!! Even as someone who is primarily a PC gamer it was a touch confusing why they would do it.... having just started creating a community of console players.
Anyone getting annoyed by reading of the above post should consider the following.

We have no doubt that they've made great strides but you can't say that they're not playing the Silent Game and then say that they just don't have anything they're ready to show. That's contradictory. The community should be involved as early as possible and it has shown time and time and time again that the earlier we are involved, the better off it'll be. CCP Rattati himself has shown that this has amazing results as we can often weigh in with community crowdsourced feedback.
Do -NOT- let Legion be another "retrospect and hindsight" tragedy.. There are no more excuses for why this should happen.

That's fine. It's not your job to tell us, it's your job to represent us and the questions we are asking. It's the developers' job to answer and explain further.

Well, it seems that's the conclusion of the matter. I played Dust and paid money into Dust, because I liked Dust, and I wanted to support Legion development. No word being given on either, tells me that nothing is being worked on. So I won't play Dust anymore. When and if they decide to takes Dust's future more seriously, by changing platform, or at least saying they are working on it... then I'll gladly play again.

I've had plenty of butt-hurt this week, but boy I had a ton of fun too! Play it because you like the game NOW. If you don't like it now, then don't play it.

The CPM are incredibly powerful when implemented correctly. However, because we don't have anything like the CSM Minutes that Eve Online has (basically a giant transcript of the conversations that the CSM and CCP have during their bi-yearly meetings) we can't even provide civilian oversight of our elected representatives, something that I was going to press hard for had I been elected because it ties in with that whole "Community First" approach I had going on but c'est la vie.
The problem with the current CPM, I find, is that they - from an outsider's view - appear to have issue prioritizing things that will benefit us in the long run. I personally think that the current CPM, as well as CCP, are playing checkers when they should be playing chess. In essence, they're clouded by the tunnel vision of the now rather than focusing on the things that are going to matter later. This is an amateur's theory, mind you, as I know just as much as the next guy in the community.
But, consider the fact that we have yet to have any sort of drive for further community interaction by the CPM (third-party dev support, volunteer programs, etc). Apart from white-tagged (CPM made) consolidated threads asking for specialized feedback, there isn't much in the way of actually -INVOLVING- the community. This could either be because the correct questions aren't being asked by the CPM, CCP is stonewalling, or it legitimately cannot be done at current and we're simply not being informed of such. The latter is equally as dangerous as without being informed of such we continue to provide feedback on something that just isn't going to happen in the near future.
Then, you have to consider the age old question: What is Dust 514 supposed to be? Tactical, twitch? MMO, lobby? Grind-game or story-teller? It's the one question that has yet to ever be answered but they still tell the press that they love hearing our feedback and continuing dialogue. Incidentally... We give them feedback on our ideal of what the game should be because we have nothing to really go off of otherwise.
My biggest fear is that the current CPM simply aren't asking the hard questions and that they are only focused on the now. Worse yet, I fear that that is all CCP is allowing them to be. We'll never really know because it's all behind the curtains and there is yet to be a single person that's broken that mold.
EDIT: Just wanted to mention the seemingly failed Community Crowdsourcing Trello which seems to have been completely abandoned and is now controlled by self-appointed moderators as a good example of what I'm trying to illustrate.

So, the problem is, you can't see us passing on your voice to CCP. Because it's behind closed doors. In blunt honesty, you have no ability to judge my job competency. (That's problematic in itself, which is a valid complaint. But criticism of my posts as somehow not doing my job are not.) Because my job is not to post publicly. What information I do my best to convey by correcting misinformation and such is extra.
When you're too strung up in your own assumption of right that you miss broadside clues as to where things are, because you'd rather see me as spinning some marketing line as opposed to conveying my honest opinion as closely as I can within the confines of my limitations, it just says something about you.
steadyhand amarr wrote:i hardly doubt the CPM have any meaningful impact that could not be sourced by just straight up asking on the forums which is what rattia does and seems to be getting better results
We work very closely with CCP Rattati on DUST development, and I'm very happy that at this point, the results are so public. That player feedback is being directly solicited and used for implementing development changes.
However, there's also a wide class of topics CCP is unable or unwilling to broach with players in public. Some of those reasons are completely justified, and some of them are not. But the CPM is the process that ensures there are at least a limited amount of player feedback brought into those discussions.

We have had every indication so far that CCP Shanghai barely even listens to you all, and they clearly have you so bound up in NDAs that every time you try and say anything you just get labeled as apologists or ignored because you can't back up any of your statements.
There's definite differences. Though in some ways I'd say we may even be more influential than the CSM is in EVE. It depends on the topic. There are, of course, things I am jealous of the CSM for, such as their two annual summits with publicly posted minutes (albeit with NDA redactions).
Mobius Wyvern wrote:Why is the damn "Marketing Firewall" so thick?! You realize other developers are letting people see the earliest and most broken bits of their games and it's actually getting them more support? More players coming on board?
That would be a question for the marketing department. Perhaps if those very open development processes yield very positive results, that will sway how CCP does business.
Mobius Wyvern wrote:We have more transparency with the EVE development team than ever before, and the Dust development team can't even be bothered to produce DevBlogs about anything other than developer profiles.
Actually, on the contrary, we have a development roadmap. EVE Online has never had such a thing, and holds back most discussion of what features they're working on next from the playerbase so that they can make large marketing reveals. Features are worked on for months before they get a dramatic reveal at Fanfest. Whereas we know about stuff that's going to be worked on in the near future. We're ahead of EVE in this regard.

I share your pain on this item. CSM's two annual summits with minutes are extremely valuable, and definitely something it is unfortunate the CPM doesn't have to show for at the moment.

There's somewhat of a balancing act in both providing frameworks for later, and solid long-term plans, as well as ensuring enough is coming that's urgently needed in the now to keep the game going strong.

Third-party dev support is basically entirely reliant on CREST. You might've noticed there's been a lot of work done on it by CCP FoxFour in the last few months, but it's still very far from what either EVE or DUST needs. And yes, I do ask you to bear in mind, not to assume any additional success you would make if you were in our shoes, because you aren't. And in some cases, you wouldn't. Also, please bear in mind that I do support these objectives, and ask about things like the ISD when possible.
Sometimes things are not possible, and the reasons why are not public. Sometimes things are not possible, and we tell people why they aren't possible, and we still hear requests for them over a year later anyways. One particular challenge that has come up for me at this point once or twice is forgetting which answers were NDA, and which weren't, and having to err on the side of caution.

As you say, unfortunately, there's no way for us to show you. As for the subtle hint that someone should break the NDA, I am doubtful you'll find any takers there. Both because nobody wants the legal trouble, and because we care about the community, and we're aware that breaking the NDA would do severe harm to the CPM's ability to interact with CCP on the level that we do, and deliver player feedback in such a direct manner.

Sorya im sure you are doing what you can. I actually have no problem with you as a cpm as at least you fecking talk to us =ƒÿå.
However the wall of NDA will constantly undermine anything you say. We simple have no proof what you are saying is happening it's all just words. Their is simply noway for anyone to know what cpm doing and achieving.
The idea of NDAs is antiquated EVE comp are both projects that hugely by their nature everyone knows what's happening and what's being developed and both those games have very strong core fanbase.
NDAs only came about when video games where in their infancy and everyone was worried someone else would steal their idea. They are simply not needed anymore... unless your building junk games that don't work...
i forgot what the original topic was a while back.....cpm need to show us what their actually doing...its all talk from some guy with tag at the moment

Lol.
I don't assume anything and I try not to insinuate that I would have done a better job at something I've never had the opportunity to attempt myself. But then again, it'd all be wrapped up in The Quiet Game anyway, so how could either of us know?

Wasn't a "hint", subtle or otherwise, to break the NDA. Make no mistake about that. Now, the CPM coming out and saying, "Yes, we've asked about this", isn't - or rather, shouldn't be - a breach of NDA. To my knowledge there's no where that we [the community] can go to see what the CPM or CCP has asked about, let alone read, besides the forums.
Having someway to know that we are being acknowledged is well within the capacity for CCP, something that they're pretty bad at and have a notoriety for being bad at, be it because of time management or what have you. It's also been something the community has asked for, repeatedly, since Closed Beta. We had some marked success with the 'weekly feedback updates"... which then became the bi-monthly updates... which then phased out of existence around Fanfest.
In it's stead we have the Community Crowdsourcing Trello which seemed like a really cool olive branch that just went to waste. It's just another mock-up of the 'Features and Ideas Discussion' forum category in the same way that the Jita Speaker's Corner was on the Eve forums. It also has the same problem that we've had since Fanfest: We dunno what to submit ideas/feedback for. Legion is completely in the dark and the extent of the Dust 514 development is nebulous.
Should we submit ideas that are low-hanging fruit, like small balancing tweaks, or are we completely open to the realm of fantasy and submit ideas like a legitimate Commander suit/role or Minmatar/Amarr vehicles? Even still, I wonder if it even matters as, again, there is no acknowledgement or responses given to either. How do we know that CCP has read them? How do we know that they're even plausible? What kind of game is CCP trying to make and what is the best feedback to give them to help them achieve that goal?
Are the CPM asking -those- kinds of questions or are they resigned to just talking about what's in the next update?
Are we even going to know whether or not those questions are being answered to begin with?

However the wall of NDA will constantly undermine anything you say. We simple have no proof what you are saying is happening it's all just words. Their is simply noway for anyone to know what cpm doing and achieving.
The idea of NDAs is antiquated EVE comp are both projects that hugely by their nature everyone knows what's happening and what's being developed and both those games have very strong core fanbase.
NDAs only came about when video games where in their infancy and everyone was worried someone else would steal their idea. They are simply not needed anymore... unless your building junk games that don't work...
i forgot what the original topic was a while back.....cpm need to show us what their actually doing...its all talk from some guy with tag at the moment
NDA's are still widely used in the industry. They're everywhere, literally everywhere.

Yup. I'm under NDA for a justifiable reason (I work for a private military contractor that does maintenance for the Air Force).
My mom? Under NDA for her job as well. She works at a uniform cleaning service. NDAs are everywhere, be it a justifiable reason or a really stupid one.

I was speaking in terms of gaming industry's =ƒÿå. God I'm under so many NDAS with my job I have to keep them in a binder in case compliance want to check iv signed it...
My point was the idea of not shareing or sourcing ideas are constantly proven to lead to bad design or games people don't want to play.
Hell even EA are opening up hardline was delayed based on player feedback and they tend to get focus groups in or at neutral play testers to try things out.
Ccp does none of this the first we hear of idea is when it's about to hit live. Rattati (seems to be a outlier rather than company policy) I doubt it will be long before better studios make him better offers tbh.
Tldr: yes NDA as a term is a thing don't take it out of context, my point hiding **** from your players always backfires CCP is losing group because it's comp better understand their products and their fanbase due to clean com lines. And even closed shops like EA get people in these days

There's a lot of things that they discuss with us that most certainly belong under the bounds of an NDA. Unfortunately, it's impossible to explain what those are without also breaking it. :/ What I can tell you is I do my best to be completely honest, and not mislead in any way.

Answer is both. Bearing in mind that small low-hanging fruit can probably be added into releases already on the roadmap, whereas larger things would likely end up on a backlog for a future release, as they may take more resources than we have to devote to a side feature. Minmatar/Amarr vehicles, mind you, have already been discussed as possibly starting out as recolors of our existing vehicles so we can get them out with hotfix-level effort.
The way it's intended to show you the Trello is being read is for Rattati's own Trello to be publicly visible, so people can see when issues or suggestions hit his personal radar. I know he said he was working on cleaning that up a bit so it was presentable, I will follow up with him on where progress is on that this week.

We ask a LOT of questions, both short-term and long-term. We've been scheduling meetings with CCP Rouge periodically to talk about the long-term future. Our meetings with CCP Rattati tend to be more of a short-term focus, though short-term may be even a few updates out in that context.

See, and that's all you had to say to reassure me and I'm a skeptical cynical **** by nature. Thank you for that.

The NDA has now mostly been for all the important parts removed from the Game Development of Dust 514 mostly; when you guys find out about something its only about on average a week after cpm finds out about it.
What will NOT change is how the NDA covers the internal affairs of CCP and its Business; most of it doesn't need to be known but there are issues that CPM has identified as critical for public knowledge and we keep pressuring CCP to get it out.

However, about 90% of Soraya's posts are defending CCP and why they aren't talking. He's not supposed to be a CCP apologist, it just gives the impression that the CPM are Shanghai's community rep team and little else. Its a poor focus of effort and it's a bad culture to be developing in a group like the CPM, I'm calling it where I see it. So, the problem is, you can't see us passing on your voice to CCP. Because it's behind closed doors. In blunt honesty, you have no ability to judge my job competency. (That's problematic in itself, which is a valid complaint. But criticism of my posts as somehow not doing my job are not.) Because my job is not to post publicly. What information I do my best to convey by correcting misinformation and such is extra. When you're too strung up in your own assumption of right that you miss broadside clues as to where things are, because you'd rather see me as spinning some marketing line as opposed to conveying my honest opinion as closely as I can within the confines of my limitations, it just says something about you.
It doesnt matter if I have any ability to judge or not. You're on the CPM and you are open to public scrutiny as a result.
Its true, no one can see what you guys do behind the NDA, that just makes it all the more important that you watch what you do say. If you're not up for it you shouldn't have run in the first place.
So regardless of what you do behind the NDA, which, for all intents and purposes, is nothing as far as i'm concerned, What you do in front of the NDA is open for all to see and judge.
In a situation like this thread, you come off as a CCP apologist trying to defend their actions. When the only response should have been something along the lines of "We've made them aware that people aren't happy about this and are pressuring them to share more" . But no, you gotta be all "trolly" because its fun and that's who you are. Well be aware that people read what you post.

to be clear the internal affairs of CCP is their business and i agree with you their and also iv heard they have cleaned house and are looking a lot better internally. all im after is just what exactly is going on, even if thats a we don't no....
i dont even play dust any-more but im around because i love the EvE setting and legion/Valk could be the way i can finally take part in the EvE setting as im just bad at spaceships but can kill virtual people really good :P.
sorry for the hard times we are giving the CPM over legion but its because we care and really want this freaking game :P

I actually do state on the Biomassed podcast weekly meetings we had during the week and who they were with. If I can, what we talked about. It really should've made it to the forums but it never did. (We also communicate with certain devs a LOT outside of formal meetings.)

Perfectly happy to admit I try to entertain myself while taking on what is basically an unpaid second job revolving around a video game.

WoD went like 8 years without even making it to beta before it got tossed in the can.
Its good to see that the CPMs are on high alert to flock to any threads about what is said at fanfest. |
