Thought you all would like to know about this little nugget that went out to people who dropped DUST
https://dust514.com/events/welcome-back-to-dust-514/
So, if I didnt play this game for 60 days, I get:
100 x Black Eagle Scout Suits (my personal fav fit)
100 x Quafe Assault Suits
If I did play this game in the past 60 days, I get:
?
How about offering these things to people who slog through your poorly thought out events as well. You know, the same people who have stuck with this game through the constant issues and ham fisted coding since 1.0? |

Considering my playtime went from 3-4 days a week to just 1 now, maybe they do. As I said in another event thread, junk rewards that I can easily buy on the market will not convince me to play more but vanity fits will. |

They are collecting your tears right now!
Well, if they value tears more than money, feel free to have them.
I went from buying a Merc Pack a month from around Feb-June (or maybe July) to nothing since because of the state of the game.

You know, the same people who have stuck with this game through the constant issues and ham fisted coding since 1.0? They don't need to bribe you to come back. However they have been giving you 6k SP a day just for connecting.
You do realize that is a fake 6k right?
They give you a 6k 'bonus' for signing in
However they reduced the passive SP per day from 30k to 24k
Still feel that you are getting anything extra from CCP for playing?

New player? No, I would think its actually a quite good promotion. I think new players should be given a couple sets of AUR gear to play with when they start and a BPO or two that they get after a certain amount of time playing.
What I dont like is that someone who gave up on this game gets some pretty cool stuff for just logging back in and the rewards that people who play this game get for Events is junk we could buy on our own.
Again, not pissed that people get these, its just that if you play you have no chance to. |

Assuming you've been capping, 1.6 million active SP (or 2.4mil with booster) plus bonuses from events. A lot more valuable than those suits. The only people who lose out are those who've played irregularly over this period, as they get neither suits nor (much) SP. But any scheme applied to thousands of people will see a few fall through the cracks. At least CCP are trying to bring people back into the game.
SP is useless to me right now. I have over 20 mil and 4 of that is unallocated. I only have a few things more I want to do with the content we have available. |

Where are you getting your information, because in the devblog they said that it was on top of everything that you already get. Also the daily passive bonus has been 24k (with no booster) since last build.
I stand corrected then. Guess I didnt pay attention until the new opening window. My bad |

I have over 20 mil and 4 of that is unallocated. I only have a few things more I want to do with the content we have available. I'm on over 18mil and I'm still millions away from maxing out a role (HMG/FG heavy). I don't think the situation of having more SP than you need is usual.
Agreed and I do realize that this will be different for everyone. This was just for me personally. I have all the weapons I would possibly use and all of my equipment to the level that could fit on my suit. My core skills are as maxed as I need them to be. Right now I am just doing proficiencies and dampening. The only thing I can think of after that is hacking skills. I have zero interest in other suits right now or the vehicles that are currently available. |

new players + current players = higher player count.
The business tactic is great. Getting previous players to return is really great. Offering them items that current players can't get is the issue.
This is exactly what I meant.
I have no problem with CCP offering cool stuff to get new players and convince vets to return. I do want a higher player count just like everyone else.
My issue was, at the time of my post, there was no way for a current player to acquire these suits. Its all well and good to try to bring up the player count but there should also be a focus on those players that are currently playing the game to keep them. Some of us may not have defected to GTA or FF but there will be plenty of games coming out (and a couple new systems). What good is getting people to come back if the ones here leave? |

If you're leaving because you missed out on some suits i'm positive will be available in the future...eh.
Again, you are missing the point.
Part 1 - To attract new players and bring back old players, I like this promotion and think it will be effective for those that had left the game in hopes that it would get better down the road.
Part 2 - I personally feel that the event rewards (other than SP) that CCP has given out since Uprising have been a joke. People use maybe 20% of it and they could easily buy them on the market. Back in Beta, I made sure to try to get into Events so that I could get the suits like the Black Eagle. Now, I could care less about the events.
Prior to Mintchips post, what was there that would have led me to believe that vanity suits would be offered as a reward for events in the future?

You assume i missed the point. I agreed with the point in a previous post. Regardless of which you yourself point out the sp reward and try to dismiss it (1) somewhat when it reality that's the key to this along with your admission which should have deflated your gripe in underline 2.
Originally i was simply dismissing you for insinuating people that have been here all along might leave because of CCP trying this out, as if they are taking away something from them that they had.
Anything that I say is my personal belief only and I am not going to make any insinuations as to what anyone else will do.
These are my personal feelings about the current situation
- SP Events are good things to have now and again to allow people to push for that skill that they really want
- Item Events have been boring because I either dont want the items or can easily buy them in the market
- Offering items to people who have left the game that people in the game want (which I can infer from based on the responses to his thread) is something that I believe is not fair to those that actually play the game. You never know what will be the 'last straw' for someone to leave the game. |

Already been brought up and I already stated I was wrong.
