Ulysses Knapse duna corp 654	Posted - 2013.11.28 10:53:00 - [1] - Quote Just earlier today, I was wondering why we didn't have a thread for this already! So, I thought I would make one. This thread is for discussing possible ways for CCP to monetize Dust 514 in a way that makes all of us feel good. Below I will suggest my ideas for this. You are welcome to add your own ideas, as well. Station Services Don't get out the torches and pitchforks just yet, this isn't as bad as it sounds! The basic idea is that you can "rent" certain station services, such as manufacturing and research, for Aurum from NPC factions. If you don't want to do this, you can either get an EVE capsuleer to manufacture and research for you (or become a capsuleer by subscribing to EVE Online), or rent the services directly from EVE capsuleers. This would net CCP some cash, as well as prevent people from getting free manufacturing and research slots for their EVE character simply by owning a Dust 514 account or accounts (there's a limit to how many manufacturing and research slots you can use per character, so overusing Dust 514 accounts for free slots would be bad, especially if it comes to the PC). Dust 514 for Personal Computers How is this monetization, you ask? Simple. Instead of it being F2P on the PC, you would have to buy an account (probably around $10-20 dollars). After that purchase, the account is completely registered and you don't need to spend any more money on Dust 514, unless you want to. If you already own an account on the PS3 (or perhaps on the PS4 in the future), you could instead just use that account. This kills two birds with one stone as well. You don't have to worry about people abusing Dust's F2P nature (either through passive skilling or through any other means), and CCP gets money! Mercenary Pilot's License This one is a little out there, I admit. Basically, the idea is that you can use Aurum, or PLEX, to purchase a Pilot's License for Mercenaries. While you own the Mercenary Pilot's License, you can pilot ships made specifically for mercenaries (not capsuleers) in EVE space. It only lasts for a certain period of time (possibly in weeks or months), after which you would need to to renew it. This would give mercenaries a measure of independence from EVE capsuleers, as well as, you guessed it, get CCP more money! What do you think? Have any ideas of your own? Post your suggestions down below! Humanity is the personification of change.

Vyzion Eyri The Southern Legion The Umbra Combine 2138	Posted - 2013.11.28 11:44:00 - [4] - Quote If we implement tiercide... prototype gear could be only purchasable for Aurum. But before you scream P2W, I'm talking prototype in the literal meaning. The bleeding edge of research and development, prototype suits will be more powerful in every aspect than the tiercided base suits and their variants, BUT also come with adverse side effects: -movement may cease to work temporarily -HUD flickers and can suddenly shut down -enemies may be displayed as friendlies and vice versa -prototype weapons may cease to fire or not reload properly -prototype modules may malfunction causing the suit to randomly take damage etc. etc. Perhaps no-one would buy it, but it would be cool to see as part of the tiercide in terms of possibilities for monetization, especially when coupled with cosmetics which everyone seems to agree on wanting to buy. Perhaps a lease on a corporation warehouse could be purchasable with Aurum? Could become a corporation-wide responsibility to provide the money for upkeep.

Although I think it would be better implemented if they did it with upcoming weapons and dropsuits instead of current weapons and dropsuits. So you can purchase a Prototype Rail Rifle, for example. Though, either way, it would be fairly hard to implement. Humanity is the personification of change.

Ulysses Knapse duna corp 661	Posted - 2013.11.28 14:38:00 - [8] - Quote Okay, here we go... Research Projects Occasionally, NPC Corporations will begin crowd-funded research projects. These will slowly progress on their own, but sometimes you might want to... speed up the process. By contributing Aurum to these research projects, you can significantly increase the rate at which the research project progresses. At 0%, the basic concept (example: vehicle) is revealed. Once a research project reaches 25%, a more specific concept (example: HAV) is revealed. Once the project reaches 50%, the exact item being researched (example: Marauders) is revealed. Once the project reaches 75%, prototypes (literal prototypes, not prototype level items) are sent out to contributors for testing purposes. Once the project reaches 100%, the item is fully released. Project backers are then given special rewards for their contributions. This includes units of the item in question and blueprints for manufacturing the item in question. Significant contributors receive even greater rewards, such as the ability to choose the name of the item in question, higher-quality blueprints, or even exclusive supply contracts (that act like BPOs do now). This sort of idea would not only help CCP figure out exactly what we want, it would also get them money! Thanks to Robert JD Niewiadomski for the inspiration. Humanity is the personification of change.
Robert JD Niewiadomski NULLIMPEX INC 716	Posted - 2013.11.28 14:52:00 - [9] - Quote My only doubts are in rewarding research backers with BPOs :/ BPCs would be just fine imho... On the other hand that's what you should get in RL by funding a project: a share in it's outcome In my version: improved game experience and in-game accolades for the finacial support was the equivalent of "a share in it's outcome" part...

I don't see why backers can't be rewarded with BPOs, if the backed item is Tech I and the BPO can be bought normally as well. If you mean the "supply contracts", that's only for really big backers. So big, in fact, that unless you used the "supply contract" on a constant basis, it wouldn't be worth the cost. Humanity is the personification of change.

Robert JD Niewiadomski NULLIMPEX INC 716	Posted - 2013.11.28 15:17:00 - [13] - Quote If BPOs worked in DUST same way as in EVE (but they don't now) i would have no problem with this. CPP officialy stated they are going to remove BPOs from DUST for good. It would not be necessary to remove BPOs from DUST if we had to collect components/materials listed in BOM and pay for manufacture job. The way it works in EVE. Now they just give you unlimited number of items for free. You have little incentive to improve your human level game skills quickly. F.E.A.R. stands for False Expectations Assumed Real
Ulysses Knapse duna corp 663	Posted - 2013.11.28 15:23:00 - [14] - Quote On the topic of BPOs, I was massively into industry when I played EVE, so when I came to Dust 514 the terminology annoyed me to no end. When someone talks about blueprints, I can't tell whether they mean perma-items or actual blueprints. I endorse the idea of removing Dust 514 BPOs the way they are now.

That's the unfortunate part of F2P games. No matter how great and popular it is, if it doesn't have anything we want to buy in it, it won't make a profit. Similarly, even if a F2P game is terrible, if it has things we want to buy in it, it will make a profit. Not that I'm saying Dust 514 is terrible... What? I'm not!

Timothy Reaper WASTELAND JUNK REMOVAL Top Men. 588	Posted - 2013.11.29 11:43:00 - [18] - Quote Corporate target ranges: A place to test weapons without buying clone packs. Of course, to buy things for the corp might require a corp AUR wallet (or do Eve corps have a PLEX wallet?) to which corp members can donate. To keep real money from getting stolen, it can only be spent on things like a target range, custom corp dropsuit color scheme, etc. If they leave the corp (or the corp gets shut down), they get unspent AUR refunded. Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience. Mark Twain

Like naming a game item with your name (a weapon, a piece of equipment, district, planet etc.). Since they don't like us mentioning other games, there's this one that is fully funded by players and has just gone over $33 million. I'm sure most of you know it. Spaceships and walking on planets sort of stuff. I'd pay money for DUST development in return for a backer title of some sort and maybe some vanity options only available to backers. Otherwise, the key idea has been said many times but seems to be waiting for development: vanity customization. // Logistics / Scout / Dropship Crash Tester // https://twitter.com/reesnoturana

I thought they'd be more akin to the AUR stuff we used to have, since lower fitting reqs were mentioned, and work similar faction mods in EVE, i.e. same/better performance for less requirements at a much higher ISK cost. Anyway. Those few camos and varying shades of green/black are not my primary concern: The issue is. For every suit/gun, there's between 0 and, say 6 variations that are not the standard 3 tiers. Yet most of those are not viable in [insert gamemode here], too expensive for [insert gamemode here] and/or limited and thus mostly collectibles. I'd say that there really is no proper visual customization whatsoever in Dust right now, even with these few variants. AUR gear is used for bragging rights or for practical considerations. We need actual customization that allows me change the suits/weapons color/camo to what i want it to be, within certain limits.

If CCP chooses the colors of suits, then we should be able to put on our own patterns like previously stated or even our own tags(pictures, etc), insignia's, ranks, medals, corp logo's, etc. To make ourselfs unique and let other's know who we fight for and who we are. If they combine this with the suit changing depending on what equipment one is wearing, for instance hives, scanners, explosives/grenades and sideweapons beeing vissible on the suit when looked at. Then we can all become unique in our own way.

This starts with camo patterns and end with a large yellow smiley face on the front plate of the helmet of my caldari suit. - Temporary skill spikes. These grant you relevant levels in skills for a limited time. Here's an example: Didn't you always want to try out heavies? Buy a lvl 3 Amarr sentinel skill spike, a lvl 3 hmg operation skill spike and be a heavy for a day. If you'd like to see where the role can take you you can additionally buy AUR prototype suits and weapons and use the best heavy gear available for a limited time. These should come in 1-day, 3-day and 7-day variants.

KalOfTheRathi Nec Tributis 920	Posted - 2013.12.04 00:24:00 - [39] - Quote I used to pay CCP. Then they hammered my Logi. Then they hammered my HMG. Then they hammered nearly everything and now we die in seconds. Next they are hamming tanks. All vehicles realistically. I haven't paid CCP in a long time. I doubt that I will again. They have no understanding of any of the genres they claimed DUST was about; Specifically MMO, RPG and FPS. There is no matchmaking. There is no PvE. There is no SP respec (nor will there be - HTFU). Uprising sank my interest in DUST. I still have AUR to spend and one day I will spend my last one. I will not buy another. Because we have more broken game elements than we did in Beta (Closed and Open). We do have pretty, pretty grass yet cannot see a target.

Also, you can invite 6 friends to hangout and show of your stuff :) Tanks 514! Cheap, fast, Indestrucbible and you see tankers telling it's balanced... Just makes you want to quit this BS

Veka Kari NECROM0NGERS Covert Intervention 22	Posted - 2013.12.30 04:31:00 - [46] - Quote Give us the ability to purchase a Respec every time limited interval (lets say 6 months). It could cost the equivilent of US$20. I am not sure there is a player out there that won't agree with this. However it will do one thing that CCP isnt too fond of. Data Skewing. Which means that they would have to throw out all of their data every 6 months. However it will allow them to get Data Spikes, FoTM isnt always bad as it provides a lot of data on what the FoTM is, thus allowing them to determine what needs to be balanced and how to balance it. So really, (in a weird semi roundabout way) giving players to change their minds about their chosen path gives them the ability to see more. MUST READ (All Suits): The Logi Code. You depend on it.
Samael Artico Company of Marcher Lords Amarr Empire 41	Posted - 2014.01.01 17:13:00 - [47] - Quote Respecs are an interesting idea, though I could see how that might be abused, Veka. On the other hand, +60% mounts that can fly in Northrend couldn't possibly be abused.
Killar-12 The Corporate Raiders Top Men. 1931	Posted - 2014.01.01 17:33:00 - [48] - Quote Timothy Reaper wrote: Corporate target ranges: A place to test weapons without buying clone packs. Of course, to buy things for the corp might require a corp AUR wallet (or do Eve corps have a PLEX wallet?) to which corp members can donate. To keep real money from getting stolen, it can only be spent on things like a target range, custom corp dropsuit color scheme, etc. If they leave the corp (or the corp gets shut down), they get unspent AUR refunded. Target ranges and such ought to be ISK cost / Free A-Teams win Battles B-Teams win Campaigns C-Teams win Wars
