EVE General Discussion

boohoo EVE players, too, paid to develop a game that they didn't get to play.

Funny how fast DUST players forget that and complain about their revenue being misspent.

At least now we know what the name was all about. DUST † 5/14.

Dust as been crap from day one its just now that the dust player base realizes how screwed over they really are. I would tell them to go shoot a monument.... Oh thats right they dont have one

[quote=Fiddlestax Atruin]On the twitch feed (when they were attempting to run damage control) they asked for our feedback.

Giving your feedback on the dust boards gets your post deleted and your account banned at the moment.
It has clearly become an issue of censoring dissent, a few questions that CCP needs to answer...

A few simple questions:

How long has CCP known that they were going to be scrapping dust for legion?

Is it proper that they continued to accept payment for aurum and SP boosters, while only "maybe" being able to move characters to the next iteration?

They decided to run an event this week. In the event, you got bonus SP for using a AURUM suit. Is it proper that they ran this event just days before they announced that they were scrapping the project to work on Legion, and that they weren't sure if they would be able to transfer characters across the platforms?

I for one think it's about time , the only fallout i see is butthurt from people that paid RL cash for items on a game that was on a platform at the end of it's lifecycle.

Why?
They didn't need to.
Never had to.
There is no indication that this even was the case.



Here, have another one ... I hope it makes you feel better!

This one is even bigger. :)

I would personally like to thank all of the DUST514 players that beta tested the game for us.

To be honest, this was my initial thought on how to incorporate DUST into Eve though not entirely. Add in Dust as more of a "expansion" then a separate game, though due to coding restraints would still be a separate game for all intensive purposes.

I wouldn't add it in as free for any Eve player but do a monthly/Plex style payment system that gives a reduced cost for having both.

Ex.
Eve is $15/m
Legion is $10/m
Eve+Legion is $20/m

Plex schemes would be done differently as well to promote both.

E: Though CCP would have to do a much better job on Legion then Dust in order to get people to pay a sub for an FPS.

What questionable business practices? If they annunced Dust was canned tomorrow, with no legion, would you say the same thing? Seriously people whining are idiots. Its a game, ccp can close or change their game anytime for any reason. sheesh. You have barely any info, stop knee jerking and wait till you get more info. Or quit and don;t bloody worry about it. As its a ******* game.

Makes me wonder when legion will even launch. I doubt it'll be within the next year, but since they've already got all the game assets, and a 3rd party engine, I suppose they could do it really quick. I assume they won't do it until they've got their brand new matchmaking, scavenger mode, UI, and dust obsolescence plan, which I would be extremely surprised if it happens within the next year.

So you guys don't think that the lack of any significant dust announcments doesn't signal the end of dust? You really think they are going to develop two shooters simultaneously?

CCP is STILL selling Aurum boosters to those dusties that don't know about the announcements. Many of them will never be able to use their SP once it gets the PC port ( Gaming PCs are kind of expensive, as well as the alternatives to computers people find in smart phones and tablets)

I'm waiting for Next Fanfest when they announce they're closing EvE and will launch a new space sandbox MMP called Adam in the next two or three years.

Then I will enjoy the sweet, sweet tears as Goonswarm declares 'Mission Accomplished'.
