In other news, Sony is doing refunds for AUR bought within the last few months, and I have heard of cases were they are doing a full refund for all dust related purchases over the years. I am going to call myself and see how that is going
The tears when people wake up to the fact that CCP responds to chargebacks with permabans will be glorious.
Not just permabans, my friend. CCP is well known for fighting chargebacks too. Most retailers won't go through the hassle of doing the paperwork, but CCP is a little different.
Bunny calls sony, demands refund. Sony says "5-7 days". Sony calls CCP, CCP provides proof of valid charges. Sony says "sorry lol nope".
It may be different with PSN, but I've seen a few "Lulz CCP U suk I'm getting a chargeback done. Lulz Got my money back CCP. OMGWTF why did my CC company take the money back and charge me $75 more per transaction SEE U IN COURT CCP!" They seem to miss the part about the refund being conditional on decision by the CC company.
Ye olde chargeback is not foolproof...most major merchants just chalk them up as a cost of doing business, and more expensive to fight than to let go. The risk of having your day ruined by other people is the cornerstone with which EVE was built and we want to keep that (infact, this is much more representative of the consensus opinion within CCP). |

From the dust community, what is left of it anyway. That's excellent, that's for the link.
To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

Given the sad state of dust game play (I've been playing since closed beta, on the community and promises), it isn't really a stretch to say that dust is a legion beta. I'm a little confused as to why people are getting so upset over a game that is free to download and play? This isn't minecraft where you literally paid for a beta that never got finished - you don't have to spend a dime and you're an idiot if you ever did. I think we are mostly mad that we are idiots, talked ourselves into supporting dust and CCP, and now can't believe it when what was always going to happen actually happened. I stand among them, I put over 100$ dollars into CCP's wallet to fund this idea of theirs. Look at it this way my friend.
Over a couple of years time span you spent a hundred bucks on your gaming hobby. Most of the folks here spend that much (or it's equivalent) on theirs over a period of a few months, without getting any "special" items out of it.
One other thing to consider, most PS 3 owners are about to find themselves in a similar situation with every game or franchise they enjoy playing, as game development for PS3 as a whole is going to taper off sharply in the very near future. You may even find that the development that CCP is still going to do for DUST ends up being some of the longest lasting support for the platform in the gaming industry.

Console Peasant tears are delicious.
Now they know how we felt when CCP decided to spend 18 months of not doing anything with Eve. :) |

Dust has been decent. CCP tried something no other game company has ever dared to do. Break into a console market and tie it into the pc world. Legion will be good.
Also RAGE!!!! in all honestly ps3 is dying out fast for the ps4. if CCP wants to keep dust they have to port it to ps4.

If it's really the same team behind both games, I've believe that about 6 months after I see it. |

Fair point, but that same team were the first ones to point out the various flaws in DUST that they would like to focus on correcting in Legion.
One way to do it would be to handle it in a more EVE like fashion, where progression is less linear and vertical in power creep... and instead make progression allow new abilities instead of just becoming more powerful in a few.

One way to do it would be to handle it in a more EVE like fashion, where progression is less linear and vertical in power creep... and instead make progression allow new abilities instead of just becoming more powerful in a few. This way a relatively new player can become just as proficient (or very nearly so) at one thing as a seasoned vet, while the vet retains the advantage of being able to do many things well. To do this, however, requires a vast range of abilities and equipment to master... which in turn requires a UI with enough depth and complexity to represent it all in an intelligent and easy to navigate way... which in turn requires a platform to run it all on that has a control scheme that can handle all that.
That's one of the main reasons why I'll have to see it to believe it. The current DUST team seems to have enough trouble making small updates without reintroducing terrible, terrible bugs that they've already fixed 9 times. Doing such a vast overhaul of the game, when they haven't really done much of anything in the year of "live", doesn't seem particularly likely to me. |

From what I've seen most QQ comes from whiney brats who somehow have difficulties to grasp that PS3's story has ended. All the SP, stuff and what ever is being ported to legion as it is so there shouldn't be any issues but it seems that most whining is that PS3 isn't going to be kept on forever by CCP ? Second bwaaah is that legion is ported for PC and they don't seem to grasp that PC = PS 4 = lots of whining.
Well who would had guesses that PS3 would eventually be replaced (a hint everyone with half a brain).
Also what we should be whining on these forums is the fact the THEY on dust forums have "picture avatars" but we here on EVE side do not despite having the same forum software. |

Here's the real question for all DUST players: Why on earth were you expecting a PS3 game to have continuous development in the same way EVE does?
It might sound bitter but I blame DUST players for dedicating too much to DUST. The PS3 is a console and all consoles get replaced. Hence why the non-upgradeable nature of the console makes console gaming/gamers a complete joke.
When you buy a game on console, expect to play it for a couple years and that's that. Your expectations were the problem here.

I hate to say it but I can only be bothered to read this far down the first page.
However I will say this. Good, for once console gamers did something useful. |
