The future of Legions

I know Legions is still in development. I understand why the developers are not advertising yet. Legions players are interested in the future of Legions (no *chocolate cookies* Sherlock).

One thing that many players want is a larger community. More servers, more players, servers full 24/7.

Another thing is player-hosted servers. This is especially wanted by people who live in areas which don't have deds yet. Eg- The Pinoys, Aussies, as well as others. Clans are also looking forward to this feature.

Legions players want the community to grow and flourish, for the game to be popular.

Humans are creatures of curiosity. We like reassurance and certainty.

Now I know devs don't want to reveal what is happening in case a certain project doesn't work out. But could the devs please give us their opinion and estimation on how when the game will be advertised and when player hosted servers will be available.

The Legions community deserve to know a rough idea of where we are at.

So please, I don't care if things take a bit longer if expected. Or if they don't work out. Could the devs give us a little fill in on what is going on and when things are expected to be completed. I'm not asking you to make any promises, just give us your estimation. Thank you and I'm sure the Legions community will appreciate knowing at what point the game is at.

Please don't lock this thread.

Just tell us what is expected and what is the state of Legions now.

Thanks again and I'm sure the community will be grateful.

And don't shout at me...

The blog post Application-1 linked quite clearly states what's in store for the future of Legions. I think what you're looking for is timelines, which probably won't happen (due to a small team, unforeseen events, not wanting to raise hopes or meeting deadlines, etc). I'll talk to some of the nerd bomber devs and see if I can snag a screenshot or two of early build stuff, something to tide us over a bit until the new content comes rolling in.

You have valid questions and concerns, Royalty. As Seymour said, because of the nature of volunteer teems, we can't estimate when things are going to get done, because they get done when they get done. So I won't give you an estimate on when the things in the blog post are going to get done, because it would be guaranteed to be wrong. What I can tell you now is that we're focusing on two things right now: player hosted dedicated servers and custom loadouts. After custom loadouts comes cores.

Now not everyone on the team is able to work on those things, so you may see other content or features coming out. This doesn't mean we aren't working on the priorities.

Hope that gives you and the community a bit more insight into what our priorities are.

LOCK! Lol jk, this is a good thread for people to sneak bits of information from the devs >=)
Is there a thread somewhere on the original idea of "Cores" or any screenies that y'all are working on?

Just the same old stuff being posted again :( We just possibly need to have bi-weekly updates or something so we know what is being worked on, and where it might be, no timelines involved! Just the process of getting there.

Legions Overlive (the radio show i had even during IA days) will come back for starters. Again, as mentioned on the blog, an announcement will be made in the near future when everything gets settled.

I rest my case. Good to know that those two features are your priorities.
EDIT: Paying attention to everything you wrote Bugys, in your professional and realistic opinion, is there a chance or is it likely that Custom Loadouts and Player Hosted servers will be out by around X-mas?

I'm not asking you to make any promises.

Dude, stop asking for what he's not going to tell you. He himself repeated that many times:

What use is an ETA if it's guaranteed wrong, so no point in asking for one.
It's like when you hit puberty, you can't ask somebody for a specific day or hour that you are going to hit puberty (many may argue for that, but... it's progressive), and few doctors will tell you X/X/XXXX as a date. No point in asking heh? You will just be disappointed.
Sorry for the analogy, but the only one I could think of atm.
