What is the worst case scenario for some forumites misreading their statements? The player population dips? That ship has sailed.

CCP should be letting us know, at least in general terms, what will happen to Dust 514. They are refusing to do so and players are attempting to make excuses for them. Humans are weird creatures.

They can't keep people here with promises anymore. Even if we know they will pull through.

If I know I am going to be frustrated, I won't play. Doesn't matter if I know a week from now things will change. CCP wasting time chatting us up won't bring the changes faster.

In fact time spent explaining everything clearly and without inflaming ire would take time.

When time is of the essence, and given the numbers drop it is, its more important to buckle down and get it done as soon as possible.

Only when the game is fun again will peope play longer and more often, and end their breaks.

But they have already stated otherwise. Several times.

Including a comment from Frame today.

They are working on PC 2.0, Power Cores, and HP/Speed curve.

Just the first two are heavy lifting and will be massive changes.

From a practical point of view there isn't a need for the company to let the community know. At the end of the day the company is the one that has to do it.

Actually, CCP has been recently giving us information especially when you look at the latest news on what is coming for the next hotfix, planetary conquest 2.0 for warlords 1.2 with the help of Rattati's think tank, trello boards showing changes coming in 1.2 that include fireteams, squads, and platoons, and so on.

To be honest with you, there are are two things left unanswered by CCP. What will happen with certain BPOs like the APEX suits once Limited Tiericide is implemented? And when will Dust move on to a better platform (as a cross-platform gamer, I don't give a **** where it goes)?

Those are the only two questions left to answer. Beyond that, CCP has been forthcoming overall with information and has consistently delivered ever since Rattati took over. I just wish he was in charge sooner when Dust was getting started.

At this point, we are just going back and forth with the pointless debate on what CCP should be saying and what CCP shouldn't be saying and that is taking us nowhere.

PS: In the end, no one here has any authority to force CCP to say something about it. That is up to CCP to decide. Just let the writing on the walls do that for us. The walls don't need us for that.

And what good would it be to port a broken, unbalanced, and frustrating game to a new system?

Not all the games problems are due to hardware constraints.

PC had exploits that ruined the economy.

While weapons and suits are better balanced, there is still quite a ways to go.

Porting this game to another system too soon will only ensure its failure the next iteration, and thus for the long term.

They have to get the fundamentals right before doing anything else.

We could sit here with our thumb up our butts saying "Dust isn't ready yet! It needs more X, it needs more Y! We must balance Z first!" for years. Every month that goes by we lose more players to boredom and next gen platforms. It won't be long before our PEAK numbers will be sub-1,000. When player numbers start dipping that low the profitability of Dust plummets. What do you think will happen to Dust when it isn't generating a profit?

What it is that you want? For CCP to be struck with analysis paralysis until they shutdown Dust without porting?

I completely agree with and support all of this 100%

I will be more possitive.
There is still no reason to have this apocalyptic talks.
CCP stated how succesfull Dust is and how they want to support it.
Anyway i still have in mind Rattati and his talk how racial Vehicles and Weapons are still more important than building in dust 514.
Ergo i think they want to still work here than somewhere else.

You are not looking at the bigger picture here that One Eyed King is trying to show you.

If you look at Dust 514 at its core it is, by design, a fundamentally inefficient product that is poorly optimized that somehow needs an excessive amount of ram to even run properly when proper optimization would eliminate that waste. Sure, porting it over to the PS4 will solve that problem but that solution will be the ONLY thing it solves. Porting Dust over to the PS4 will not solve balance issues. Porting will not address the Gallente Lag Facility or the Internal Error Message you get when going into the MCC Construction Facility. And it will definitely NEVER solve the problem with Scotty acting like a complete **** with matchmaking that looks like it's handled by Trevor Phillips from Grand Theft Auto V. If you at least bother to look under the hood of Dust 514, you will see that the majority of the problems Dust has is rooted deep into it's programming and NOT the hardware.

I just don't understand why people think that porting Dust 514 as it is to the PS4 would help at all. If CCP ports Dust over right now, CCP will risk shooting itself in the foot AGAIN because the players in the PS4 market will not look at Dust's good side but will definitely look into and make a big stink about its bad sides. I can see the negative reviews already. Imagine:

Game Informer - DUST 514 ON PS4 IS A FLOP: BAD DESIGN
IGN - DUST 514 FAILS TO DELIVER IN THE PC BECAUSE OF BAD DESIGN
KOTAKU - DUST 514 ON PS4 IS NOW BUST 514: MORE BUGS THAN IN STARSHIP TROOPERS

It will not be a pretty picture and then Dust will go the way of World of Darkness. I would rather CCP fix a lot of the coding first and then move it over to the next platform when it's ready.

You didn't answer any of my questions.

HINT: I expect a simple "yes" or "no" answer to each of my questions.
