Every day, I skip over a half dozen "port naow" threads while looking for something worth reading in GD. It occurred to me last night that the lowest moment in Dust's history ... the infamous Rouge Wedding ... was in fact a port announcement!
More content. Better graphics. Better framework. Fewer middlemen. Presumably less lag. Larger potential playerbase.
... and we freakin' crucified the dude. All on account of bad timing. If Rouge waltzed in and announced and demonstrated today the very same thing he announced in 2014, we'd hail him as hero and savior.

Amiright? No, the reason we "freakin' crucified the dude" was because he announced that they were basically ditching not only our community but all of our progress in Dust and moving to PC.
None of the Round Tables where they confirmed that our progress would be kept and that this was actually aimed at the current playerbase were streamed on Twitch.
Therefore the only thing seen by all of us watching the stream and not in attendance in Iceland was that we were all being ditched in exchange for the PC crowd while the Twitch chat was spammed with "PC MASTER RACE" and how all of us who currently play the game never deserved it in the first place.
THAT is why we all got pissed.
Personally, I went down to my PS3, logged into Dust, and ranted with my Corp members for almost 10 minutes straight before I finally calmed down enough to come back upstairs and watch more of the stream.
I still firmly believe that the acceptable platform migration is to PS4 because this game already has an honestly fanatically dedicated community on PSN and many of those people don't own a gaming PC or even a PC of sufficient strength to play this game were it to be mirgrated, thereby necessitating that they either spend at least $600-$800 (Don't even come at me with that $400 gaming PC bullshit, because we all know it's just that) to acquire a PC just to play this game, or else they're just out of luck.
Upgrading to the next console has been a reality of console gaming for years, and you'd have a damn hard time finding anyone who currently still owns a PS3 who would be mad about the game moving up to PS4 for the sake of improvement and more content. That's what console games do, and have done since consoles were first made.
I think CCP's original concept of creating a New Eden themed game for console gamers to bring a brand new group of gamers into the New Eden world was an excellent idea, and I don't think they should ditch that just because it's easier. Since when does CCP not do things the hard way just to show that they can? Seems to have worked pretty well for EVE Online so far.

No, that is not what was announced.
What was announced was DUST514 was being moved to PC. At that current time, the DUST player base was probably 65/35 Console to PC players. Yes, we told CCP from the beginning that DUST514 is not a console game, they should go ahead and move it to PC back in Beta. They refused to or already had too much time invested and marched on. Which therefore established the console player majority player base.
CCP turned their back on the core playerbase that suffered through 3 years of torment. Doing so, resulted in lighting a flame feel of betrayal.
If CCP had announced Legion to be coming to PC and PS4, there wouldn't be any rioting or flames; however, CCP didn't and I agree with the hatred movement from the players against CCP, at that time.

There are some games that are not designed or destined to be on a console.
I strongly believe, DUST514, at it's current release time, was not destined to be a console game. Seeing the PS4 specs, the PS4 could do it; however, we run into the same problem, having to update the game to x console specifications every generation.
Agree to disagree but I disagree with your statement.

Legion was more of a rebuild with some of the Dust stuff as a base.
Some of us were pretty happy with the idea as long as it included full character and asset transfers.

Actually the player base here may not like a PC port, but it would be the best thing to ever happen to this game. A single platform limited release was great for a beta project, but its time to release it to the much more lucrative and diverse PC crowd. Eve was successful with that model and Dust could have been. Maybe it still could be, but the player base here will not be what carries it into the future. For one, a reset of assets and SP would be the minimum requirement to get new players into the game. The NPE right now would not make anyone spend money on this game, and the current player base is never going to make it any better. |

I wasn't mad at first when I heard of legion being annouced. It the way he did it, as in during the Dust Keynote and that there would be no future updates for Dust. All the stuff they talked about was for Legion and not for Dust, which seemed like a different game entirely. The community felt backstabbed and betrayed. Sure he announced a port, but dude should of done it in a more gentle way than what can be described as a huge ass f*cking. Then after a year, nothing is announced or revealed or said about Legion.
As for myself, I have no string opinions either way.

CCP Rouge being the director of Eve TV and proprietor of the streaming service itself is clearly a justifiable reason why the man is at fault.
/sarcasm
You got pissed at the one guy who dared show his face despite the poor planning on behalf of people that are not him. The one guy who had the balls to actually go up at the beginning of the Eve Keynote to play damage control the next day. S'okay, though, because I did too later on. Got banned for it, even.
The hatred toward CCP Rouge was ill-placed and knee-jerky. Players couldn't - and still can't, apparently - understand the orchestra that is behind the scenes and will fault developers they know and see for the actions of the ones they don't.
Learn from that experience.

The lack of accurate recall in here is crazy. The FF2014 announcement was a riot because in the preceeding months DUST had been due multiple fixes for various game elements and mechanics that didn't happen. Instead it was months of total silence from the dev team, then, during what was supposed to be an expose of DUST's year(s) to come was an announcement that CCP had effectively quit doing anything support-wise for DUST so as to create a demo for Legion. And don't forget in those weeks prior there was the escalation of monetization elements (100% boosters, anyone?). THAT's the environment that announcement was made in. Would people react the same to the same announcement now? Who knows. Could CCPs dev group at the time handled the problems that existed then, as Rattati has since? Who knows.
The latter question tho is the real kicker. At the end of the day it comes down to the old adage, "Where there's a will, there's a way." If CCP want to grow the relationship they've fostered with the console gaming community, then they will. If they want to diversify their clientele base by branching (farther?) into mobile, then they will. If they want to solely want to rely on the support of the "PCMasterRace" then they'll do that. IMHO, if they felt last of those was a worthwhile goal then they never would've grown into the console market in the first place.

People weren't mad at the news of a port.
They were mad at the news that pretty much all support for DUST would be dropped for the foreseeable future.
Hence why the only new content since then has pretty much been skins and a couple sky boxes. |

Learn from that experience.
Just gunna say that it is hard to understand the so-called "orchestra" when the conductors leave their audience in the dark and the musicians don't play their instruments, even though the audience bought tickets to their concert.
CCP coulda learned from that, but... well... it is kinda dim in here, and the crickets... Well, they are chirping.
Personally, I'd like the orchestra to begin to warm up and tune their instruments, if not begin to play some Tchaikovsky.

I have a 2 weeks old 1500 dollar PC. I'm not worried about myself, I'm worried about CCP ditching this fanatically dedicated fanbase which they should be glad they managed to sustain despite DUST's troubled history.

With the PS4 that isn't the case, their vision is within reach. Yeah we might not have the best graphics, but considering Planetside 2, I'm sure that the PS4 is capable of CCP's vision.
