Hey guys,

I just logged on and saw that the Veteran pack is going to be retiring soon, and as I'm going to be VERY busy in the next few days, I am essentially tying to decide if I should spend my whole PSN wallet to buy it TODAY.

I mostly want the BPOs, as those are so effective and cheap. I particularly want the LAV BPO since CCP stole my normal one.

But the crux of my question is this: Do you think I should I buy the Veteran pack? Is it worth the investment on the hopes that this game picks up, or would I be spending too much on a dying game?

P.S. and is there anywhere that I can see a picture of that Convenient assault suit BPO?

Thanks!

Hell yes the veteran pack cost 50 dollars and gives u 100,000 aurum. Buying 100,000 aurum cost 50 dollars plus 10,000 bonus aurum. However the veteran pack also gives 1 30 day active boosters and 1 30 day passive boosters which cost around 100,000 aurum if you get them from the pack. On top of this you get a bunch of items!!! Vet pack is pretty much twice - three times as good as just buying 100,000 + 10,000 aurum.

You will never have to think twice about calling it in or abandoning it to cap a point. It's like buying an all day pass to ride at the amusement park. Now I'll be needing more boosters, so does the Vet pack have anything that isn't covered in the Elite Pack?

I think player base will fluctuate as people take breaks from it and then come back. (Mercs need downtime like everybody else) As long as CCP keeps passive sp. CCP just hired a new EP, not something you do for a game that your planning to scrap.(unless they use him to run it into the ground lol) DUST is a work in progress, and being along for the ride is kind of cool.

Should get it soon, after 1.6 pretty much everything on the psn store will be crap unless it's aurum for boosters

Aside from that, no. iirc there's only three BPOs in the Vet pack. Too busy clicking cookies to play DUST...

Unless your getting it for boosters don't bother, I have scout, assault, lav, smg,AR bpos I ll hook you up IF BPO TRADING HAPPENS, but if it doesn't you ll wish you got the pack an that's the risk. Go to psn store an get the starter pack for 9.99 comes with exil assault rifle( WORTH IT) but if you get the 50 pack get the starter too since the 50 $ bpo is only a sniper, suit with 2/2 high low slots an a car. I have spares of all this if you wanna risk seeing of we can market trade other wise you ll never get one, but if you wait for market I got you covered

Having a BPO standard sniper rifle can save you both SP and ISK in the long haul. The Veteran pack similarly does the same with the swarms and shotgun. If funds are an issue either pack would be great, but if you don't care about sniping you'd be better off with the Veteran pack. Both come with a boatload of Aurum that will last you a very long time. I personally like BPOs because I have a bunch of different very cheap (most free) standard suits that require 0 SP investment. All the covenant stuff is blood red, all the dren stuff is a tannish/gold. The Ellecon's come from a long line of Gallente. Tarn chose Peace. Tallen chose war.

I don't even fit mine. it's just a taxi.

You'd be set for a very long time. That BPO is it really. The boosters are good if you plan on playing for several months yes.

I bought mine when they first came out and the Drens suits are worth more than there weight in gold. You get boosters and you also get enough Aurum to buy even more. I am a bit suspicious as to why they are ending the BPO's, I think it was the new CEO's doings. So many things wrong with your last sentence. 1. They already explained why they are doing it. 2. CCP still has the same CEO they had for years now. CEO, yes but Dust has a new EP

Michael Epic The Neutral Zone 113	Posted - 2013.11.01 20:14:00 - [55] - Quote I think so...I just bought it myself a few days ago. I got the blueprint for a Blood Saga LAV which is great because I go through those things like they're water. I also got a blueprint for that assault suit, which I don't really use but its nice to have for a goodwill suit for when I want to get isk and not lose a bunch of gear. It also gave me some other things I haven't even messed with but did give me some boosters (which are useful, but don't run two at once...that's a no no) and 100k worth of aurum and I've been trying new weapons I've never used like the Mass Driver and things like that. So all in all its worth it to me because it lets me mess around with things and try them and also the LAV blueprint is awesome.

Cody Sietz Bullet Cluster Legacy Rising 1323	Posted - 2013.11.01 20:47:00 - [57] - Quote I'd say yeah, it has a skill free Caldari Assault suit in red. Very nice paint job. You also get a sniper rifle BPO if your into that. Also the blood raider LAV is pretty sweet. The elite pack is also good. You get some earth-ey looking BPO suits and some weapon BPOs. Amarr Sentinal. Gallente Scout. Minmatar Logi. Caldari Assault. All of which need no skill to equip and have the same stats as a STD suit in that class. They also benefit from the racial skills. You also get a Caldari LAV, STD shotgun, STD Assault rifle, STD Swarm launcher and a STD Scrambler Pistol, all of which are BPO. You also get 200,000 aur and 2 active and passive 30 day boosters.
