October Event Schedule
We'll be rolling out Uprising 1.5 in October which will bring further improvements to DUST 514. To celebrate the release, we'll be holding several events over the course of the month to help drive you to the top of the mercenary mountain. These events are aimed at players old and new, dedicated players who have stuck with us and those coming back to check out how we've made the game better.
October is for Winners
Over the course of October, we will be rewarding those who manage to take down their enemies by providing bonus Skill Points for your first three wins each day in any game mode or contract type, except Planetary Conquest. In each of these first three wins, you will earn double the value of the War Points earned in bonus SP. These bonus SP will NOT count against your weekly Skill Point Cap.
This event will run all October long!
October is for Winning Rookies
Similar to the above event, we are also helping our newbros out by offering anyone in the Rookie Academy the chance to earn bonus Skill Points for their first five victories each day. No matter the game mode or contract type, except Planetary Conquest, you will earn double the value of the War Points earned in bonus SP. These bonus SP will NOT count against your weekly Skill Point Cap.
This event will run all October long!
Factional Warfare Challenge
The empires of New Eden are battling each other in Factional Warfare and are pushing harder than ever for the cloned mercenaries to back them up. Each of the factions are pushing for their side to gain momentum over the week of October 8 to 15. During the week, the factions are asking you to prove your loyalty to their cause by fighting solely for their side and winning battles on their behalf.
- Fight 20 Factional Warfare matches for one faction and win at least 55% of them and you'll earn the Tier I rewards.
- Fight 30 Factional Warfare matches for one faction and win at least 50% of them and you'll earn the Tier II and Tier I rewards.
- Fight 40 Factional Warfare matches for one faction and win at least 45% of them and you'll earn the Tier III, Tier II, and Tier I rewards.
The rewards are different depending on which faction you fight for. So choose wisely!
Amarr:
- Tier I GÇô 100 x Imperial Flux Drop Uplink
- Tier II GÇô 50 x Carthum Assault Scrambler Rifle
- Tier III GÇô 25 x Logistics ak.0 Dropsuit
Caldari:
- Tier I GÇô 100 x Ishukone Gauged Nanohive
- Tier II GÇô 50 x Kaalakiota Tactical Sniper Rifle
- Tier III GÇô 25 x Assault ck.0 Dropsuit
Gallente:
- Tier I GÇô 100 x CreoDron Active Scanner
- Tier II GÇô 50 x CreoDron Shotgun
- Tier III GÇô 25 x Scout gk.0 Dropsuit
Minmatar:
- Tier I GÇô 100 x Six Kin Triage Repair Tool
- Tier II GÇô 50 x Six Kin Assault Combat Rifle
- Tier III GÇô 25 x Logistics mk.0 Dropsuit
You can only earn the rewards for one faction. You will qualify for rewards based on which faction you fight for the most often. So, if you fight 40 matches for the Caldari and 30 matches for the Gallente, you will only be eligible to earn rewards from the Caldari. If you have equal numbers for different factions, you will earn rewards for whichever faction you have the higher win rate for. Finally, if even that is tied, you will earn rewards based on which faction you completed the requirements for first.

It's already been changed to Mass Drivers. I guess this was originally written when Combat Rifles were intended to make it into 1.5. |

Really? This again? And the numbers are even worse this time. The rewards are better, but then again: It will be impossible to get them anyways. Because once again it depends on the blueberries, and not on what you do. This is a lottery. |

Tier 3 rewards are abit "derp", they are the worst rewards because they almost exclude the majority of the players playing for the Faction. I'm afraid the only good things in this are Tier 1 and Tier 2 rewards, but unfortunately we can only choose 1 faction... |

Will all matches apply for the rewards, or only the ones we fight from start to finish?
I think it's not fair, to be tossed into a battle that is lost already, without the possibility to have any influence on the outcome, just to spoil your own record...
Please clarifiy!

Indeed, the Academy is seriously messed up. People get out of it in 3 to 4 matches, they hit pub or fw, get stomped, uninstall game. That is happening. WP should be upwards of 20k wp or smth similar. |

Exactly. This is happening. Got 2 friends on dust a couple of weeks ago, they started well with some tutorials on my part, but all it took for them to leave the game was a couple of academy games and then several pub matches. And thats it. Doubt they will play it again. |

I doubt it. They are expensive as **** already. And instead of fixing prices for ISK Dropsuits they should just introduce the player market and link it with the Eve Online market. Would make things so much easier. |

We're only doubling the SP earned from WP, not the actual earned WP themselves. You'll progress through the academy at the normal rate.

First off, I think its awesome you are making us choose rewards. I really like that. It gives our choice a consequence. Thank you for giving us plenty of time to prepare!
Secondly I really hope when you say "rookie" you mean anyone with less than 10 million skill points. Although it should really be a scale of skill points to number of matches you get double sp. So someone with 2million sp would get 10 matches a day with double SP. That would really help the newbros out a TON! Please consider changing that.
I do think the rewards are worth it...HOWEVER, I do think it would have been better if you would allow us more flexibility to choose the rewards for each faction. It would have been nice to choose your dropsuit and weapon at least, because currently I cant use half of those awards. Still limit which rewards we can choose....making it a CHOICE, but give more flexibility.
Example:
Amarr:
Tier I GÇô 100 x Imperial Flux Drop Uplink
Tier II GÇô 50 x Choice of Amarr weapon (scrambler rifle/pistol, laser rifle)
Tier III GÇô 25 x Choice of Amarr dropsuit
Minmatar:
Tier I GÇô 100 x Six Kin Triage Repair Tool
Tier II GÇô 50 x Choice of Winmatar weapon (flaylock/mass drive/SMG)
Tier III GÇô 25 x Choice of Winmatar dropsuit
Overall this is a great step in the right direction. Really happy with where you are going. Keep up the good work. |

Isn't there a way we could do this via War Points occured on that factions side? All it really takes is for some scrubs in proto suits to show up and your team turns into smurfs (i like blue berries... smurfs are dumb, useless and annoying) and there goes your match.
Now I understand that you want us to win for that factions side, but really until isk payouts increase or you factor in neo suits / neo equipment to isk for payout... the smurfs will just thow in the towel the second they see a scrub with a proto suit in a pub match. Not to mention you could just afk in the MCC with one faction for the entire time the event goes on and odds are your going to get something for nothing. Give rewards to those that earn it, thats through War Points CCP. |

Disagree completely, participation should be rewarded in the special olympics, this is about WINNING, this is SPARTA, we are cloned merc warriors, there are no rewards for participation here, we don't covet the weak, just other clones wives, we give participation trophys to timmy in grasscutter football to feel better about how bad timmy sucked..... Everyone does not need fair in their life, we NEED the challenge, take fair and participation rewards to the White House and ask Obama to play a game with you, just not DUST........ Wooooooooooo |

Scouts are fine, remeber they are scouts, not front line assault troops, they will die, their job is to SCOUT, that means go look around and report stuff you see, back hack, scan, stay undetected and mostly out of the fight, if you don't your going to get killed by classes that are suposed to be in the fight, like heavies and assaults, plus you might just suck with it because honestly the new maps with better cqc is great for scouts. |

Lol nothing except they are going to die, playing with a corp, team or squad even if its just 2 or 3 people makes,all the diffrence in this game, I play this game alot, I go solo some times but its not easy and I will quickly give up my solo position to join a squad simply so I can move and shoot with them, solo can be fun but seriously friendly advice playing with others will enrich your gaming experience here in dust, just wait until you and 3 squad mates pull off that double pincher move on a proto heavy none of the 4 could have killed alone, its sweeeeeeeet.... |

We don't wanna be front line assaults. We wanna flank and attack. We wanna scout and scan, at least let scouts share their info with the squad or even the team. Gallente want a slight base PG and scan range buff. |

Well my adv scout is Gallente and mostly I only run a pistol with it, but honestly I think they are ok, is your scan skill maxed? You know that will increase suit scan by 50% when you max it out right? |

yup, 20 meters with both skills maxed. It's not like we want to be super soldiers(even though that's what all clones are) we just want to be on par with other suits.
Maybe a 5 meter buff to base range, +2 base PG for Gallente scouts. About half a sec boost to minja all around movement speed.
Your right, we aren't meant to survive fire fights for very long. If were spotted were dead...unless they can't hit us. But that's the thing, we aren't meant to be found. So we need better tools to get this done. |

There's no 100 WP minimum for the match to qualify as a win/loss. Is this intended, or did you just forget?
IMO it's pretty important to have it so that you don't get penalised for joining a match just before it ends, and so that merely AFKing doesn't result in awards. |

You can still lone wolf in a squad, my corps best (and currently only) scout does this all of the time. And one of my best Assault players never runs with the pack.
In squad =/= Running with the squad.

Lol, yeah all of one game. Yeah, let's get those new players out of the Academy sooner so they can learn to get protostomped and quit the game quicker. We're only doubling the SP earned from WP, not the actual earned WP themselves. You'll progress through the academy at the normal rate.
Still, the maximum SP you could make in Academy from this would be something like...
1199 WP from game 1: netting you 2398 bonus SP
then 3000 WP from game 2: netting you a bonus 6000 SP?
So it's under 10k bonus SP for new players...? Am I missing something? Maybe I forget how big of a deal SP is to new players, but is that what you were wanting? |

We don't wanna be front line assaults. We wanna flank and attack. We wanna scout and scan, at least let scouts share their info with the squad or even the team. Gallente want a slight base PG and scan range buff. Well my adv scout is Gallente and mostly I only run a pistol with it, but honestly I think they are ok, is your scan skill maxed? You know that will increase suit scan by 50% when you max it out right? yup, 20 meters with both skills maxed. It's not like we want to be super soldiers(even though that's what all clones are) we just want to be on par with other suits. Maybe a 5 meter buff to base range, +2 base PG for Gallente scouts. About half a sec boost to minja all around movement speed. Your right, we aren't meant to survive fire fights for very long. If were spotted were dead...unless they can't hit us. But that's the thing, we aren't meant to be found. So we need better tools to get this done.
Well I'm definitely down for some suit specific modules, like a scout stealth mod? Only a mod scouts can choose to equip and specific to the purpose of the suit? That way if you really want to play your role this module would enable that, and it wouldn't fit other suits..... |

While I do like events, once again CCP seems to miss the point.
On the bonus SP for WP;
You are only helping vets get even farther ahead. Most newer players are lucky to get 500 WP per match.
On the matches;
You are awarding proto-stomping, not participation. Remove the win requirement and in place make it based upon earning 100 WP over the course of 40 or whatever matches. That way you cannot AFK the event, but everyone has a chance at it just for participating.
You want to help out rookies? You want to make EVERYONE happy, including your accountants? Do some more triple SP events. Rookies will be able to do more with that SP, everyone will love it, and booster sales will go through the roof.

First off, thanks for more events!
"Winning" Event:
I like that this event encourages winning. Winning requires things like squad play and tactics. The more that's encouraged the better.
I do not like that it rewards your first three wins. My first three wins of the day are nothing special. I don't even notice them. As a result of this I don't even notice the event. That's bad design.
Make the best three games of your day count for the next event like this. Encourage all games to matter. Give a bonus for our best game of the week on top of all that.
Faction Warfare Event:
I love me some FW. I may have a bias here as I don't mind grinding out Amarr victories.
This event shows you are listening to us by offering different types of rewards. This is a big move in the right direction in contrast to previous event rewards. The problem people seem to have (I myself am not bothered) is that players may not use the gear of the faction they play for. I suggest that an ISK alternative be available for those who do not want the gear.
I would like to see something tied to the results of FW in addition to the results for showing up and winning x number of games. Perhaps CCP could track the W/L of waring factions and reward only the victors of each set. For example, after a grueling week long war, Amarr emerges victorious by the grace of God against the Minmatar terrorists - players who successfully met the W/L requirement for the event (or an even higher predetermined W/L ratio) will now receive a super-duper special prize. |

Really? This again? And the numbers are even worse this time. The rewards are better, but then again: It will be impossible to get them anyways. Because once again it depends on the blueberries, and not on what you do. This is a lottery.
Well you can always q sync in faction with fellow merc squads that you work well with more than half the time it tends to work and fills up more than 70% of the squad it gives you a much better chances of winning |

CCP Eterne wrote:October Event ScheduleWe'll be rolling out Uprising 1.5 in October which will bring further improvements to DUST 514. To celebrate the release, we'll be holding several events over the course of the month to help drive you to the top of the mercenary mountain. These events are aimed at players old and new, dedicated players who have stuck with us and those coming back to check out how we've made the game better. October is for WinnersOver the course of October, we will be rewarding those who manage to take down their enemies by providing bonus Skill Points for your first three wins each day in any game mode or contract type, except Planetary Conquest. In each of these first three wins, you will earn double the value of the War Points earned in bonus SP. These bonus SP will NOT count against your weekly Skill Point Cap. This event will run all October long! October is for Winning RookiesSimilar to the above event, we are also helping our newbros out by offering anyone in the Rookie Academy the chance to earn bonus Skill Points for their first five victories each day. No matter the game mode or contract type, except Planetary Conquest, you will earn double the value of the War Points earned in bonus SP. These bonus SP will NOT count against your weekly Skill Point Cap. This event will run all October long! Factional Warfare ChallengeThe empires of New Eden are battling each other in Factional Warfare and are pushing harder than ever for the cloned mercenaries to back them up. Each of the factions are pushing for their side to gain momentum over the week of October 8 to 15. During the week, the factions are asking you to prove your loyalty to their cause by fighting solely for their side and winning battles on their behalf.
- Fight 20 Factional Warfare matches for one faction and win at least 55% of them and you'll earn the Tier I rewards.
- Fight 30 Factional Warfare matches for one faction and win at least 50% of them and you'll earn the Tier II and Tier I rewards.
- Fight 40 Factional Warfare matches for one faction and win at least 45% of them and you'll earn the Tier III, Tier II, and Tier I rewards.
The rewards are different depending on which faction you fight for. So choose wisely! Amarr:- Tier I GÇô 100 x Imperial Flux Drop Uplink
- Tier II GÇô 50 x Carthum Assault Scrambler Rifle
- Tier III GÇô 25 x Logistics ak.0 Dropsuit
Caldari:- Tier I GÇô 100 x Ishukone Gauged Nanohive
- Tier II GÇô 50 x Kaalakiota Tactical Sniper Rifle
- Tier III GÇô 25 x Assault ck.0 Dropsuit
Gallente:- Tier I GÇô 100 x CreoDron Active Scanner
- Tier II GÇô 50 x CreoDron Shotgun
- Tier III GÇô 25 x Scout gk.0 Dropsuit
Minmatar:- Tier I GÇô 100 x Six Kin Triage Repair Tool
- Tier II GÇô 50 x Freedom Mass Driver
- Tier III GÇô 25 x Logistics mk.0 Dropsuit
You can only earn the rewards for one faction. You will qualify for rewards based on which faction you fight for the most often. So, if you fight 40 matches for the Caldari and 30 matches for the Gallente, you will only be eligible to earn rewards from the Caldari. If you have equal numbers for different factions, you will earn rewards for whichever faction you have the higher win rate for. Finally, if even that is tied, you will earn rewards based on which faction you completed the requirements for first.
If this is the primary event for October (especially with those s**t rewards, yet once again), then I should probably leave now while I still have my gaming life ahead of me; it's as if CCP really doesn't give a f**k about the new content, or the events leading to said content.

IMO it's pretty important to have it so that you don't get penalised for joining a match just before it ends, and so that merely AFKing doesn't result in awards.
This.
Also, there was a bunch of feedback from people who'd rather see a bonus for their best win rather than their first (or first three). I'd like to see some response from CCP on that matter. |

So I guess the FW event basically demonstrates two things:
1. That CCP is capable of taking steps in the right direction and listening to the community's requests. Because bring able to choose from different rewards is a pretty cool idea I think.
2. That CCP is also still unfortunately bound by CCP logic. "Ok guys, we're gonna have multiple rewards available for the next event. Now we've got four races, so let's give each of them a different suit as a reward. We'll do a logistics suit for the Amarr, an Assualt suit for the Caldari, a scout suit for the Gallente, annnnd.....another logistics suit for the Minmatar! Perfect!"
Like, just, seriously CCP? I honestly can't think of a single valid reason for yet again excluding heavies. |

Really though. Quit complaining about getting free stuff and look at the real problems with the events.
#1 Different people want different rewards thus squads are forced to separate and run alone or with Useless blue dots.
#2 basing rewards on a win/loss ratio is just dumb. Wp accrual for the entire week would be a much better option. or even per game.
Your just encouraging Protostomping even more.
Your last event Sp event forced people to grind out tons of ****** games to get the maximum Sp While doing as little as possible to avoid going over the 3000 Sp limit.

no heavy suits for the heavies and no weapons for the heavies either. just by looking at that im already put off by this event.

CCP 1 - "YAWNSS.... morning crowd controllers..... yea so an event?"
CCP 2 - "*Streches* Yea an event!?"
CCP 1 - "No idea what we are going to do though..."

Dear CCP,
Hi, this is one of your more casual fans again, you know the guys who spend maybe 5 hours a week 10 at most on your game and that is if we have the time with what is called a "life". Your faction warfare challenge week is absolutely ridiculous, the amount of grind upon which you are wanting is over 6 hours, and that's if and a big if Scotty isn't messing up like he has been, if the factional war contracts are out that we want, if the squad actually joins the factional war we want them to and on the correct side. Realistically speaking, with how faction warfare has been in the past, all the way up to current day, I see just getting the Tier 1 rewards taking up to 8 hours, at this point I might as well just go to work, come back home and buy the items plus a lot more. For tier III rewards the time needed to get them would be at least 13 hours, assuming you get into the faction you want to every time that week. 40matches*20minutes=800minutes/60=13.33hours So 13 hours and 25 minutes would be close to the least amount of time spent to achieve these rewards and you expect people to do it in one week, with a 55-45% win ratio.
In short CCP, this event sucks, it is a horrible event, if you had maybe given us 2-3 weeks, then I would call this reasonable or doable by most of the Dust 514 crowd, but as it currently stands, you are just going to reward the pub stompers yet again who won't even give a damn cause they already use better gear then this. If you are going to make an event make it doable by more then half your audience and within reasonable time constraints, I do want to have a girlfriend, friends, family etc in my life. |

Hey CCP Eterne, thanks for the heads up on the events. I have two quick questions on the sp event for the month of October.
First, does having an Active Booster turn this into triple sp bonus instead of double?
Second, do we have to wait until the end of the month to get all the bonus sp from our 3 first won games, or are we going to be able to use it immediately?
Thank you for your time. -Cinder Integ |

First, the time in the academy is too short for your "Rookie" event to even matter. So there is no point in even running this event. Your time would be better spent cutting your event staff in have and simply hiring more people in development to make new content for events, like addon's to maps or unique equipment.
Second, your first 3 battle win wp doubled are pennies and only rewards the no-lifers who can play 3+ games daily. This is not a SP event. This is a daily incentive program. Again, pretty much worthless. Also what about getting thrown into a battle that's about to end and your side wins? So that's 0wp doubled gives you......0sp!
Third.......Another w/l ratio based event? With proto gear too? So the protostompers do their thing all week and then get rewarded with more gear so they can keep doing it? Someone must have thought really hard about that one. And what happens when your dumped into a battle already lost? Higher w/l rates for rewards and make the rules so it's even harder.....done good on that one. Was this supposed to stroke the "egos" of the vets still around? Cause it's looking like that to me. The ONLY good thing about this event is that the protostompers should be occupied elsewhere for at least a few hours making the instant battles playable again.
Winning doesn't matter. Anyone who says that they are a better team than their opponents because they "won", but had only 4 clones to their opponents 80+, or their opponents had more than double the amount of wp, or both, is ignorant. Making events based upon that is also ignorant. War isn't about who wins what battle but who is left standing at the end. AND as mercs we get paid for what we DO and not whether some arbitrary goal was reached. If I get hired to fight for someone it's because they know I can bring a 2000wp bump to their team and still listen to orders. If everyone else has their head between their knees and I still preform, why should I be penalized? So why has ANY event been based off w/l ratio and not on wp? Are they not a gauge as to how much YOU contributed to the team and would thus be a MUCH better way to reward playing well instead of rewarding something that YOU don't have any control over? If you want to encourage squad play then can't you give a bonus for your squad's average wp total? And then if you are still bent on rewarding winners you could add an additional bonus on top of all that. Come on CCP! I won't wait forever for you to get your act together.
Another month of horrid events. Here's hoping that 1.5 can make up for it. |

thanks CCP, you really know how to **** your veteran players off. the guys who have stayed loyal to you in the end get nothing while the guys who left this game for dead get quafe assault suits? really? all your telling me and the other vets is "leave this game if you want to be rewarded, actually playing this game and hitting your cap every week is overrated."
seriously? what the hell? either you make it so we can also get the suits or expect the vets to leave until we're eligible for our "please come back" awards. |

Hi, this is one of your more casual fans again, you know the guys who spend maybe 5 hours a week 10 at most on your game and that is if we have the time with what is called a "life". Your faction warfare challenge week is absolutely ridiculous, the amount of grind upon which you are wanting is over 6 hours, and that's if and a big if Scotty isn't messing up like he has been, if the factional war contracts are out that we want, if the squad actually joins the factional war we want them to and on the correct side. Realistically speaking, with how faction warfare has been in the past, all the way up to current day, I see just getting the Tier 1 rewards taking up to 8 hours, at this point I might as well just go to work, come back home and buy the items plus a lot more. For tier III rewards the time needed to get them would be at least 13 hours, assuming you get into the faction you want to every time that week. 40matches*20minutes=800minutes/60=13.33hours So 13 hours and 25 minutes would be close to the least amount of time spent to achieve these rewards and you expect people to do it in one week, with a 55-45% win ratio, which is friken ridiculous, should be more around 45-35% at the highest for people to actually be able to attain the prizes who aren't in the top corps.
In short CCP, this event sucks, it is a horrible event, if you had maybe given us 2-3 weeks, then I would call this reasonable or doable by most of the Dust 514 crowd, but as it currently stands, you are just going to reward the pub stompers yet again who won't even give a damn cause they already use better gear then this. If you are going to make an event make it doable by more then half your audience and within reasonable time constraints, I do want to have a girlfriend, friends, family etc in my life.
You have to choose: Ordinary life or Immortal mercenary life. //just kiding//
I don't know why CCP think this is good event. They are giving proto isk item. I already have Freedom MD and Six Kin Repair tiols, i need thse Officer Wepaons, you know, the Good Stuff.
Ad i didn't even mentioned about Protostomp... Prepare yourselves |

Depends on the blueberries? I guess you don't FW sync, or have trouble with it (as can often be the case, sadly).
I don't think it'll be that bad. In the last event of this type I managed to get all rewards for the 3 tiers, although I was convinced I hadn't done enough to qualify for any of them. I'll be fighting for Gallente as always - no point in fighting for Minmatar as I am specced into Gallente only. Although, saying that, I am not specced into GalScout so wouldn't be able to use the suit rewards for Gallente anyway |

I think it's not fair, to be tossed into a battle that is lost already, without the possibility to have any influence on the outcome, just to spoil your own record...
Please clarifiy!
Cheers
ps. I like this event, and I hope it's a hint for future rewards in Factional Warfare!
This problem can be fixed with squad finder sure when you go solo you can get thrown into a losing battle quite often, on the other hand you go into battle with a full squad chances are this will not be the case. At least in my experience I have never been put in a match that's ending when I have at least four squad mates. The fact is teams with squads are rewarded they are more likely to start at the beginning of a match, they recieve orbitals, and of course they win matches more often then teams with randoms. Squad up and improve your chances to win. I usually win stuff in these events its not all by chance either how could it be possible I just happen to get a decent team everytime we have an event?, doubtful. |

You have to win 11 out of 20 battles to get tier 1.
You have to win 15 out of 30 battles to get tier 1 and 2.
You have to vin 18 out of 40 battles to get tier 1, 2 and 3.
Find a good squad and this should not be so hard to do.

So if I fight 20 matches and only win 54% I don't win anything. But if I play 30 matches and win 55% do I win the tier 1 rewards.
Just wondering if the percentage and a minimum number of games being 20, 30 or 40 that determins if you recieve any rewards.

It should be based on how much you contribute to your team, not how much a combination of you and random bluberries contribute. Most of the blueberries that play FW are fresh out of the Academy anyways. |

In each of these first three wins, you will earn double the value of the War Points earned in bonus SP. These bonus SP will NOT count against your weekly Skill Point Cap.
This event will run all October long!

I just got the news letter and it said the FIRST WINNING GAME every day, not the first 3 as stated above.

A couple of clarifying questions.
What happens if you leave a match, is it counted, or is it just dropped?
What happens if you enter a match for a second faction and then leave before it ends. Are you ok or did you just make yourself invalid for any rewards? Really curious on this one since i noobed up the contract selector and got put into a caldari game by accident.
What happens if you fight and win / lose matches for two factions. Can people achieve the rewards for two factions?
Overall interesting event. I like the factional warfare theme on this one. It got me doing FW, something I don't usually partake in. I also like the emphasis on win / loss, something that is perhaps not strongly emphasized enough right now. I just hope you guys are working on a web tracker so we can monitor event progress and avoid much of the uncertainty involved right now.
As a final suggestion, you might want to consider a tier 0 reward. If people play X factional warfare matches (like 5-10) then they get something, not as nice as the higher tier rewards, but something small that essentially everyone can get just for participating. That way even if they can't meet the win / lose conditions, or if they don't have time for a full 20 - 40 matches, they can still feel like they participated and got something out of it. |

I wholeheartedly agree.
Not only that, but everyone is acting like horny teenage groupie girls about the Amarr and everyone who needs the rewards from Minmatar have the disadvantage.
It has been very difficult to find good, organized squads to fight for the Minmatar.

IMO it's pretty important to have it so that you don't get penalised for joining a match just before it ends, and so that merely AFKing doesn't result in awards.
if you are afk but in battle you still get kickout

Is there a way to keep track of wins??? There is no progress bar or anything, also I cannot find a decent squad to run Galle, Cali has the win every time and they have proto corps in almost every battle I been in. The Stupid AI err Scotty AI has put me in over 10 battles that did not give me time to leave before the other faction won, not to mention being in load screen and "mission failed... tagnet shutdown" BS locking me in load screen..... System stability is pure trash running this game, I have never locked up or had a game freeze, this game does it OFTEN.....
We need to know what the rules are, like can we leave a battle and not count against us, or is there a time frame that locks you into the win/loss % and do the log in to a game that has 10 seconds to an epic loss count as a loss????
I am finding myself accepting poor layouts, rewards to protostompers and elite corps. The battlefinder garbage puts me in games where I am the ONLY person on my side and 16 enemies redline camping. |

You need to join organized squads.
And I'm not having more than the occasional harmless glitch. I do agree that after 1.4 came there was havoc for a while with glitches... but right now it's fine for me. |

So... what if you play 40 matches, but you still end up under the rewards level?
Can you keep playing, to improve your ratio?
If so, would it be the ratio calculated across all the battles, or your last 40?

There's no point in fighting for Gallente.
All Caldari teams are prototyzed to the bone, and i assume there's a lot of people who just fights for them to win the prizes, because we are NOT gonna win. Sad to see a lot of 'traitors'.
I played a lot of FW and only won like 3 times.
I prefer personal challenges, winning/losing is -as someone said above- a "lottery". |

After playing many matches, I have come to the careful, measured conclusion that...
This event SUCKS.
I have lost uncountable times, in situations where random people "snatch defeat from the jaws of victory", by running upon the enemy guns and cloning out our team.. when all they had to do was just sit back and let our winning objectives finish off the few bars the enemy MCC had
As someone has already written, it doesnt matter how good you do, or even sometimes how good your entire SQUAD does... if either you get saddled with some very bad other teammates, or you just happen to be up against some uber squads.
Rewards should be based on individual contribution, not victory/loss
I suppose this is some kind of overall experiment, to see if rewards will change the way people play
Yes, of course they will. But quit screwing over, by definition, around half the player population!
Someone can play *40* games, and play well as an individual, yet get NOTHING? that just aint right.
At the very least, it should be "get x number of wins", not "get x percentage of wins". |

I'm just going to assume that the message on Dust when you login that says "40+" means yes, you can keep playing.
AND GUYS quit complaining that you're not winning. The enemy is just trying harder than you.
You need to squad up and Qsync (go to the settings and pick the same server as the other squad you want to sync with) with good players.
Honestly, if you're Caldari or Amarr and having "problems," you should seriously stop whining. |

"just"?
you act like it's trivial for people to be able to pull together a group of 11 people, who are by definition in the top performing group of the server.
This is ludicrous.
Obviously, if YOU are in the top tiers, you can easily get into those uber corps who demand "KDR > xyz". But otherwise, you're screwed. and that means 50%+ of the players

That is you, apparently many went amarr because of the scrambler rifle aka. the shield pooper and the snipers for the caldari, with the gallente in the middle. Just try the minmatar once and you will understand the power struggle.
I've only won matches because I joined a great squad one time and we were winning by 2 or 3 lines of armor in our MCC if not by clones, but for the times I went solo even if I got something crazy like 30/3 or getting Orbital Strikes by myself, little matter when the guy below me didn't had even half of my wp or the team kept leaving all letters alone. Or even better is having 3 corp squads on the other side and all randoms on ours.
I really want to see the statistic at the end of the event for who played who, what percentage of people got their faction rewards and which faction won the most.
And btw if you say I shouldn't go solo because blah blah blah.....that's because everyone at my corp is playing either amarr or caldari |

I joined a squad of 5 guys from the Blauhelme corp, we played around 60 Caldari games the last days, win ratio of above 95%.
Everything went better than expected. :-) |

Gallente: 4,038,000
11,535x100 = 1,153,500

IgniteableAura wrote:First off, I think its awesome you are making us choose rewards. I really like that. It gives our choice a consequence. Thank you for giving us plenty of time to prepare!
Secondly I really hope when you say "rookie" you mean anyone with less than 10 million skill points. Although it should really be a scale of skill points to number of matches you get double sp. So someone with 2million sp would get 10 matches a day with double SP. That would really help the newbros out a TON! Please consider changing that.
I do think the rewards are worth it...HOWEVER, I do think it would have been better if you would allow us more flexibility to choose the rewards for each faction. It would have been nice to choose your dropsuit and weapon at least, because currently I cant use half of those awards. Still limit which rewards we can choose....making it a CHOICE, but give more flexibility.
Example:
Amarr:
Tier I GÇô 100 x Imperial Flux Drop Uplink
Tier II GÇô 50 x Choice of Amarr weapon (scrambler rifle/pistol, laser rifle)
Tier III GÇô 25 x Choice of Amarr dropsuit
Minmatar:
Tier I GÇô 100 x Six Kin Triage Repair Tool
Tier II GÇô 50 x Choice of Winmatar weapon (flaylock/mass drive/SMG)
Tier III GÇô 25 x Choice of Winmatar dropsuit
Overall this is a great step in the right direction. Really happy with where you are going. Keep up the good work.

Ok, some event feedback, and i'm going to preface this by saying i went minmatar, so you can all guess just how well that went...
Overall It was a nice change to hop into FW. Knowing our actions were impacting EVE was a good feeling. I was not really prepared for the wall of proto gear/players I ran into however. Matches ranged from good to frustrating as hell.
I found very quickly that a string of losses can cause you to lose interest in the event, seeing the rapidly growing hole you have to dig out of to reach any of the tier win/loss ratios. There was also significant frustration in some of the matchmaking. Getting into several games in the last ~5 minutes (losses) and one where i went from quarters > loading > quarters only to get a loss made me feel that I had little to no control over the outcome of the event.
I would suggest you tweak the event to be not tied to win/loss and something more like:
Tier 1 - Play 20 FW matches
Tier 2 - Play 40 FW matches
Tier 3 - Win 15 FW matches
This does several positive things. First it encourages people to just hop in and try it, knowing that even if you have a bad streak you can still complete the event. Second, its far easier to track, and since we're doing the tracking by hand thats important. Third, you can still get something even if you lose every match. As it stands now, if you can't hit the win percents you walk away with a bunch of effort spent and nothing to show for it, not a great feeling.
I at first thought the emphasis on winning (Win / loss ratio for prizes) was a good thing, but between matchmaking issues, awoxers, and people protostomping it made me wish for some of the previous events that had personal objectives. |
