DUST Search - Announcement:February Event!

CCP Cmdr Wang wrote:

Thanks for your participation in Operation Mauler, we saw an increased usage of both the heavy weapons and heavy dropsuits over the last 2 weeks.

We also took your comments about event ideas and had a discussion about them. The good news is that some of them can be done right away. We will post all the info and details about March events early next week once they are finalized, but here are the big changes that you can expect:

We will double the SP payout in our next kill event from 500SP per kill to 1000SP and in some cases up to 2000SP so that the grind is much reduced.

We will be hosting an event based on community goals so that all DUST players will need to pitch in, but not have to grind.

We are glad to see that many of you are enjoying the in-game events in recent months and are serious about taking your feedback and comments on improving them.

One thing to keep in mind is that new features will be required to support more sophisticated events and also UI improvements such as a progression tracker and we are really pushing the development team on creating those so that future events will be even more fun to play.

So thanks again for your time and efforts and we'll see you on the battlefield again soon!

I re-read the OP and saw the edit, either the Torchflare KK Forge Gun or the Steelmine Boundless HMG. Is it 300 total FG and HMG or 300 FG and 300 HMG? You can earn up to 300 HMG and FG each during the event. Getting infantry kills with a FG is tough, but I will prevail!

Derpty Derp It's All Gone Derp 71	Posted - 2014.03.03 19:40:00 - [274] - Quote So vehicle kills don't count... My question is do the people that die in the vehicle count? and if so when I blow up something with people inside and they show as "'randomname' killed by death" or something amazing like that, does the count still kill? I'm not expecting any dropship kills to count though as they're mostly "'randomguy' commited suicide" as he jumps from his burning piece of metal. Thanks in advance... Also this forum could use a "jump to next dev post" option, it takes a while to siv through all the answered questions, probably why there's about 4 posts all explaining the same thing.

XxGhazbaranxX The New Age Outlaws WINMATAR. 1075	Posted - 2014.03.04 08:35:00 - [279] - Quote VIDEO!!!! Hello guys, I finished the event yesterday officially. After 2 days of winging it, I decided to start taking notes of my kills and recording most of them. I was going to do a montage of my last 500 kills but only managed to get about 400 on footage. After talking with the peeps I was told that a video with my last 500 kills might be a bit too much so I just made a summary of my event. Overall apart from what is written in the score cards I have about 200 to 300 surplus kills. SCORE CARD: After starting to make the score card it was super sloppy. So I started to make them less sloppy. In all I had to make 3 but, the first and last where only used up till half. Plasma Cannon Advocate

So thanks again for your time and efforts and we'll see you on the battlefield again soon! Dear Wang, Please consider, separately, my request as stated elsewhere on this forum and in-game with CCP Saberwing, to give us access to aggregate battle-data via CREST in order to allow us to host our own Events, and/or to track Event status outside of DUST514 and your website. This would allow e.g. Corps to host internal Events, for tracking such things as training sessions and goal ("get x kills with MagSec first 2 weeks after the release of it"), without your further involvement, and for 3rd Party Sites to utilize your Events for various means ("List current top-10 for Mauler-event"). Note: This shouldn't, naturally, take away from the effort going towards in-game presentation of Events, as a significant number of players will likely not engage external parties during their gameplay.

My current assesment is that the CCP Community Team is one of the most interactive and responsive that I've seen with a gaming community and we appreciate it. I know the Dust community can be a tough crew to deal with but I know many of us recognize that you are working to provide content while other areas of the game come online or are refined.

So thanks again for your time and efforts and we'll see you on the battlefield again soon! I have been saying since closed beta that I'll try out the HMG "someday". Well this event was "someday" and I'd like to thank you. I've tested on many frames (everything except the commando actually) in the days since I started playing Dust and running an HMG is the most fun I've had as a pure "slayer" role on the field. The structure of the event was a great step up, not only in fun but also in showing a direct response to the input of the community and I'd like to thank the events team for both of those aspects. Also, thank you for posting the info and keeping us in the loop, I know it takes extra time and effort to do so but it's a great asset to players having this kind of engagement from the Dev team Looking forward to the upcoming events and their details. Cheers, Cross SupportSP Rollover & an improved Recruting System
