Do you really think they are going to keep TWO FPSs running in tandem with eve, developing BOTH of them?
The majority of the dust community doesn't. And nothing about the keynote gave them any hope for such.
This is something that CCP needs to clarify.

i fail to see the issue, have you been on steam? seems that's how games companies operate these days "give us some money for "early access""

Dust was "released" last year my friend. I played the beta as well.

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

Are you new here? We were promised WIS, ship skins, player run stations, player build stargates, modular POSes, dynamic missions, a reliable API, [insert random brain farts] from CCP marketing...

Oh, please have a link with proof of that.

From a base level they are the same FPS just on 2 different platforms, much different from 2 completely different FPSs. Granted some things they might wanna do on PC they can't do on console. This DOES NOT MEAN that PS3 will be scrapped completely for the PC overlord version. It just might mean that the PS3 version will be scaled down a bit from the PC version, possibly due to limitations.

It is too early for the sky to be falling in regards to this announcement.

We were promised integration of dust/eve. We were promised PVE, a player market, all sorts of things. And we put up with all the problems of dust, in the hopes that one day we would get to have what we were promised. If we are to believe that is still going to happen, CCP needs to EXPLICITLY say so. They need to be transparent about this now.

They scrapped the EVE Classic Client because it was too hard to keep up with 2 clients, and all that was was a graphics/engine difference. Yeah, DUST is dead.

DUST is still crap that needs a ton of support and changes to even be made decent. By shifting their focus to the new game, even if they aren't officially closing the servers, they are effectively killing the game, because there is zero chance now that it will actually evolve into the product that was envisioned.

Perfectly stated.

This. This is the truth.

I hope there will be no Microtransaction, Aurum events and such sh.it in Legion. Solid FPS with a deep connection to EVE. Free for EVE subs. One billion percent success!

Edit: Maybe add three new character slots for Legion Chars to EVE accounts for people that play Legion.

The event gave long term SP rewards, at the cost of real money.

Are you telling us you didn't enjoy playing it?

I bought Nuclear Dawn a long time ago, played it for 2 or 3 weeks, enjoyed the hell out of it, and then stopped playing. I don't even know why I stopped... it was so much fun. (Superior tactics beats superior numbers, even when the teams were at 2 vs 10+.) I spent the $ on the game, got my enjoyment out of it for a short time, and I feel like I got great value.

If you aren't enjoying dust, and feel like you've thrown away good money after bad... well, that's called a "sunk cost fallacy." Stop it. But if you're enjoying it for what it is, power to you. Keep at it. You even still have plenty of time to keep enjoying it for while it lasts.

What's more concerning is this... this announcement alone will cost CCP a whole ton of trust. If they closed down Dust today and said "ok, dust is done, it's legion from now on," I'd say screw that, not gonna touch that mess. But they still have time to handle the transition. They have a chance to do whatever basic playability bug fixes on dust, even if it's not going to be any new feature development. Hell, even any level design, balance tweaks, asset creation, all that will probably hit dust before legion is even launched. But, if they close dust and launch legion, and legion isn't the thing everybody's been dreaming about since the day everyone was disappointed with the "console only" announcement before everyone felt betrayed with the "sony only" announcement... well, then legion will be DOA as well.

As it stands, I wouldn't be even a little bit surprised if the old dust bunnies get huge huge huge advantages with the legion transition. And damn, you guys will have earned it.

Dusties have essentially paid to play a beta for a game

Nobody paid to play DUST.

It was very common among closed/open beta vets to buy a few SP boosters here or there. The price added up quickly.

I understand the reason why they are doing this, but this is just a horrible way of breaking the news to the Dust players.

i understood that chars will be ported to new game possibly with skill points and or some kind of compensation what exactly is a problem here?
