LINK Dear players,
Quote:This November 21-26, CCP is offering DUST 514 beta mercenaries huge savings on all vehicles as well as expanding ISK rewards to wallet bursting amounts in our upcoming event, Get ISK or Die Trying.
During the week-long event, all LAVs, HAVs, and dropships are 50% off in the market place, and ISK baseline rewards will be up to three times the normal rate. So logon, drop in, and hit pay dirt this Thanksgiving holiday as we hot-drop rewards so you can stockpile riches and vehicles!
The life of an interstellar mercenary is carved of blood and cold steel. But, this event is that silver lining you heard about in seedy roadhouses told by veteran mercs, so lock and load and clear some space in your garage.
I believe utter shock was my first response to this god awful event. I am all for increasing the baseline ISK rewards, but making vehicles (alone) cheaper is just plain idiotic.
Do you even listen to your community, there are countless threads about how OP missile turrets have become, yet you're making the things that equip them much cheaper. Your basically asking for people to abuse a broken game mechanic... sounds fun o_O.
Furthermore, Why would you not lower the price of the weapons that kill vehicles. With this new event it is even more cost effective to run a tank then Infantry...CHEERS! The one enjoyment of this game, as a infantry player, was that when you saw Sagris blow up, you thought hahahahah "take that one to the bank". However, it would seem that CCP has taken even that enjoyment from me
.
Lastly, CCP WHY DO YOU HATE INFANTRY SO MUCH? Why would you not make Dropsuits also cheaper?My most expensive suit cost me 275 000 isk per death. That is like half a tank. However unlike a tank, my suit is hurt by everything: small arm fire, sniper rifles, grenades, precision strikes, Rail guns, missile turrets, blasters, and FORGE GUNS. I guess it was my mistake for skilling up into infantry this build , and not vehicles... My bad :S . My suit might be 1/4 of a tank, but I can guarantee it not worth its weight in isk when compared to a tank.
How to fix the problem?
1.Fix the maps and the missile turrets
2. Scrap the whole event
3. Make AV and drop-suits 50%
CCP Iam tired of you not guys not thinking things through. You refuse to fix missile turrets, yet you decide to make the things that use them cheaper. This beyond idiotic, and is showing how much you listen to you your Community .
Nov 21-26 WELCOME TO PS3 TANK WARS 514
You will see me in the redline getting pub stomped by one lone SAGRIS with missile turrets
