Contrary to what people think (and what I personally hoped) this IS NOT DUST FOR PC?!

Confused? Yeah, read this:

http://dust514.com/news/2014/05/introducing-project-legion/

Pay attention to this part:

Quote:

Although DUST 514 and Project Legion will function independently of one another, and are different projects on different development paths, DUST itself has a lot more shooting-in-the-face action to come. The team and I remain committed to continuing to improve the experience on PlayStation 3, while simultaneously making sure “Project Legion” becomes the experience we’ve all dreamt of.



So is Dust being killed and Legion is replacing it?

Legion is not even close to Closed Beta yet. By the time it is released the PS3 will be very very old. DUST 514 on PlayStation will die due to the platform dying, hopefully around the time Legion is ready for release.

I feel like I am standing on the deck of the Titanic watching the Queen Merry II coming over the horizon, and hoping it gets close before I am left swimming. For now I will try to enjoy the music as the band plays on...

Didn't read the whole thread but, did anyone mention if Eve Legion could also be used to introduce WIS ?

Even though this is awesome, yes, we should also remember something very important.

CCP has now spent our sub money on two games that they've now cancelled. It might be time that CCP sit down and give us a better explanation (either at EVE Keynote, or CCP Presents) on why they've wasted our money in this way and why we should trust them with Legion. If this is going to be "What we should have done in the first place with Dust", then we want to know why you ****** up, where you ****** up and why what you're doing now is different and isn't going to be a waste of money.

At least I think all of us (even the dust bunnies) deserve that. You actually have to sell us on Legion since we're the ones who are (and will) spend money on it.

What makes you think it is your money they are spending on DUST? Think about it:

- EVE exists in China on a separate server. There are so many people on that server that they recently had a battle bigger than the biggest battle ever on tranquillity.

- DUST development is based in China.

Do you see a correlation? I expect that China would tax CCP heavily if they tried to take the money they earned in China and spend it in Iceland, so instead they open a development office in China and spend the money earned from Chinees EVE players on DUST development based in China.

Stop thinking of DUST as a waist of your money. It is clearly a money laundering operation for dealing with revenue generated in China.

Awesome. A pc port of a game nobody cares about because it's 5 years behind anything already out!


It looks a lot like bf2142 which will certainly gain it a lot of initial interest from players of that era. I know I will at least give it a shot and if it's not any good no skin off my nose.

The real question is: if legion becomes popular will CCP take the necessary measures to keep it successful?

No. They will shut it down after two years, no matter what. It's meant as a ISK sink to keep the economy stable.

I'd ask that any EVE players here in support of project legion go to this page and like it http://dust514.com/news/blog/2014/05/introducing-project-legion/

There are some very stupid bunnies assuming facebook likes on a dev blog that no one reads = community reception but I wouldn't be suprised to learn that this is what CCP is using to gauge reception Roll

What a load of bulls^&t I don't think CCP would do that sort of thing that you have explained above in your untrue quote.

CCP are a company and the company needs to make money to pay the staff, buy new and updated tech ect ect.

So until you have proof of this and have seen CCP do that sort of thing please shut the F%^k up.

ISD & CCP anyone who attack CCP should get a warning.

Should this thread continue to decline in terms of reality, a tinfoil hat will automatically be dispensed from the overhead compartment. Place it firmly over your head covering any exposed areas.

If you are travelling with a child or someone who requires assistance, secure your hat first, and then assist the other person. Keep your hat on until a Dev or ISD member advises you to remove it.

Well on page 23 of the dev blog, they addressed WiS directly, and it was good news.

They say most of your brain shuts down on the EvE forums. All but the impatient side, and the sarcastic side. No wonder I'm still awake.

Legion will be a shiny Dust, but you cant polish a turd so good luck with that.


Actually, you can.

Of course, that doesn't mean Legion will be good or not, I'm just pointing out that the axiom is invalid.

So now we need to wait how long it take to get iambot scripting data pack recode programma`s to show up. Yah good move i dont think so. Yah i know on console you can do that to but, its harder to do. or you need a hack console.

i hope the have server only stuff. And the client needs to reload everything. And watch dog program to control the taskbar what the user is doing. Outside his alt-tab or alt-enter sessions.

Alright now we can get past the nerdgasm and down to work.

What's the deal on this? Will there be an alpha? A beta? Is there a mailing list to get on? A forum to join? I want to camp out on the line. Where's the door?
