Well said, Lee!!

It doesn't really matter whether players keep the following in mind or not (because ever since Patch 1.6 CCP clearly shows they're going to regulate and steer this game down their unique-thinking path regardless--good for them!):

--Spamming items for leaderboard or private player profit....
--Camping on spawn-points for club-leaderboard bragging or quicker slaughter of player reserves....
--Duckshooting NUETRAL installations for private score-boosting...
--Munchausen-Medic (that's when you fatally shoot your own teammate, and immediately revive him with a med stim to unlock "medic" bonus items for yourself)....
--Speed-Gonzalez Road Killing with available vehicles for private player pleasure...

....are ALL classic, traditional, ready-for-retirement home, methods MOST fps players used to exploit or pillage the TRADITIONAL-minded shooters. Thankfully many of those players who tried fiercely to bring those licenses (some players call them "cheats'-techniques") into Dust,...gave up and moved on. Because CCP is constantly trying to strangle that kind of gameplay out, so it won't have much of a home in DUST 514.

++Cleverly deploying uplinks where they count the most, and always out of obvious sight...
++Hacking a NEUT object to make it OURS instead of blowing it up....
++Hacking each Red CRU immediately, to close off their access to the map and Redline them...
++Using your steering wheel to position friendly mercs and useful weapons around the map instead of using the steering wheel solely as stooges' taxi.
++Never turning your weapon on a fellow player, just because he has the fighting-impulse to turn everything Red and potentially dangerous into something Blue and potentially useful...

....these are SOME of the non-traditional, TRUE-TEAM-minded fps methods THE REST of us are starting to discover. Harder to do? YEAH. Newer than the retiree methods (not another CoD, again?)... Yep. More satisfying? To me yeeesss, but that may be because I and four other players racked up and won every match we fought in during the Million Clone event... and all we used was one DS, one HAV, and one co-op mindset: Hack & Hold!

Have patience, Lee. We are forgivingly accepting that a large minority of those (um, crusty? Big smile

) classic FPS minds are still here playing Dust with us. We pass by them on the maps, excersising their playing style. We often smile and hand them a cane for their arthritis, as we leave them and conquer the maps using the real team-tactics we are learning in this game.

...Maybe they'll catch up to us before the matches get so expanded that those ole' CoD shooter techniques won't help them much at all...

This thread, first post.. Million Clone Challenge The clone kill milestones are the following: For 250,000 clones destroyed, all active players will receive 250,000 skill points For 500,000 clones destroyed, all active players will receive 500,000 skill points For 750,000 clones destroyed, all active players will receive 750,000 skill points For 1,000,000 clones destroyed, all active players will receive 1,000,000 skill points So for the kill a million clone event we were given milestones up to the death of 1 million clones - why you think you're going to get extra SP based on these numbers for kills over the 2mil mark is beyond me. Heavenly Daughter wrote: 2. Will we still get the extra SP from the additional kills beyond the 2 million as stated above, copied and pasted here. For 250,000 clones destroyed, all active players will receive 250,000 skill points For 500,000 clones destroyed, all active players will receive 500,000 skill points For 750,000 clones destroyed, all active players will receive 750,000 skill points Me assume? hmmmmmm.... can you show me anywhere CCP have stated that we will get this extra SP for additional kills over 2 million? No you can't so STFU! From CCP's Dust Facebook Page: "DUST 514 To clarify - that means 2M SP total (1M + 1M stretch goal). With an Omega booster equipped that would net you 3M SP!"

This is exactly why they increased the spawn time for uplinks... To give CRUs a significantly quicker spawn time than drop uplinks, their in-game value will increase hopefully making them assets that we'll fight to hold. When the red river runs, take the dirt road.

We spawn camp them. We sometimes even team kill people to stop them from hacking. It doesn't matter that they are trying to make the CRU something worth fighting for. We already fight for them to camp them. Making uplinks take longer to spawn changes nothing. I'm willing to bet there will be one person in a queue sync that will be a proto amarr logi (at least level 5 with a standard suit) to come in every now and then to spam links then jump onto a kill suit. I bet that people will keep CRUs red to spawn camp them and not even bother capturing them.

Good fun to just run around and spray bullets everywhere. Even more fun to squad up with strangers you never played with and have a blast together and just go straight forward and transform the air in front of us to contain more lead-molecules than oxygen-molecules.... Having been a Heavy from Closed Beta, I welcome the new suits. Now I just have to deside the right suit for my playstyle. Thx again all for a superb weekend.

For this event: Mentioning the 2 million clone stretch goal would be good. A link to the Dust twiter account (for those who don't know). The total clone count at the end. Maybe some interesting data bits (highest number kills/deaths by a single player during event?) And when reward will be given out (when devs know). It would give players more reason to check back here who don't want to sift through 20+pages. Maybe get players more excited as well.
