There is about to be a big announcement regarding the future of Dust. It is a port of sorts but it isn't the port you want.

Let's look at what is happening right now.

-The marketplace has stopped advertising specials likely to avoid another Rouge Wedding upset.
-CCP staff have stopped responding to the Dust 514 community.
-There is speculation that 1.3 will hold controversial elements that might "**** people off".
-Eve Online gets a new feature where skill points can be traded.
-Eve Online could use some new subscriptions.

I will bet they answer the old Legion question "How will my character move on to another platform?" with an offer to transfer Dust SP to Eve Online.

I actually am OK with this. My biggest fear is that both Dust AND Legion will die. However, your conclusions provide hope that there will be a Dust-like FPS on the horizon and they are gearing up for that change.

Still a tough pill to swallow though that Dust 514 will die. :(

legion is already dead

Dueling God Holdfast Syndicate Amarr Empire 5	Posted - 2016.01.18 21:31:00 - [1] - Quote We have been told that 1.3 is being worked on, and has been being worked on for quite a while now. Why are the DEVs so quiet? I'll speculate that 1.3 will not be very big and only contain a few new features. Because the small dev-team has in-fact been tackling Legacy eight-year-old code and doing corrections to get the new features to work. So, because the patch may be little, they don't want to build expectations for mountains when they will be delivering ant hills, although there is a mountain's worth of work underneath. Thoughts?

I am hoping its a port also being worked on, but at this point it feels like we won't hear anything ever again. I don't believe that to be the case, it just feels that way.

Honestly, that alone will probably please far more players than it can disappoint. Of course, CCP has to find a way to fix bugs while adding new content, but if the community ever found out that CCP has been focusing mainly on addressing the legacy code, then it wouldn't matter if Warlords 1.3 had just 1 new feature added in terms of content. The update would probably be welcomed by the majority of the players if matchmaking were to finally work properly, disconnects becoming a thing of the past, UI bugs be gone, Gallente Lag Facility no longer being a literal statement, SKIN modules finally showing up in the warbarge, terrain glitches being gone, hit detection finally cooperating with the players, people no longer having to reset their PS3 before the start of a PC battle, etc. To this day I still see players who left the game months ago come back only to give up on the game again after seeing how persistent lag has been or how hit detection sucks or how their PS3 still experiences disconnects.

But yeah if just fixing legacy code is controversial then I would be ok with that controversy. To me, there is only a few things CCP can do for Warlords 1.3 that can be truly controversial. 1. It is preparation for a port to either PC or the PS4 but not both and that will alienate one of the two player groups around here. 2. Any sweeping changes to the BPOs that we have. 3. Meta Level Lockout which is a topic that has some people disagreeing about it. 4. Another viscous nerf-buff cycle. That's all I can think of at the moment.

trooper7041 MostlyHarmless. 58	Posted - 2016.01.19 10:17:00 - [17] - Quote I feel this might be a controversial update as it will not only be a very minor update (ant hills) as mentioned here before, but they will also announce that it will be the LAST update to Dust 514. So: - Minor update to GUI, balance, some bugs - Major bugs will remain untouched - No more updates - No announcement of any Dust 514 port or update on the Legion project I've decided to add an extra layer to my tinfoil hat today

Ghosts Chance Intara Direct Action Caldari State 3	Posted - 2016.01.19 12:31:00 - [21] - Quote the devs are so quiet because they all have been pulled to wwork on VR projects and havnt been working on dust the last few months. dont believe me? look up all the drama and leaks surrounding the WOD failure and yull see its standard operating proccedure to pull devs from one project for another they concider a higher priority. seeing as VR land is shanghai that means all devs in shanghai are GOING to be repurposeed to work on VR projects as CCP places theem at a higher priority than Dust (wich they reguard as an overall failure) Minmatar is Winmatar Creed of the Minja - "I'm a leaf on the wind" I am Chances Ghost

The only thing that is certain is that the Legion trademark has expired. Not indicative that Legion is dead, but rather that it will be called something else.

How much of that SP will transfer, if they are serious about it, is debatable. It will largely depend on how much of an overhaul the skill progression system receives during the porting process. Another thing to take into account is how that data will transfer from a PSN account to a PC or Steam account if CCP goes the PC route. I'm hoping CCP already knows which email is tied to which PSN account so that players who migrate to the PC for the port will be able to easily get some of their SP and assets transferred.
