Sana Rayya WASTELAND JUNK REMOVAL Top Men. 1130	Posted - 2014.03.20 11:49:00 - [9] - Quote Who's doing hard mode - Nova Knives only!!! Edit: Thank you CCP for an SP event that is equally accessible by any players. The heavy event was pretty meh for me because I wasn't going to skill up heavy weapons just to get the SP, and it was nigh impossible to kill that many heavies unless you boosted. At least this one, anyone can participate.
jordy mack Ultramarine Corp 221	Posted - 2014.03.20 11:54:00 - [10] - Quote So, it would be best to kill commandos with sidearms (in a commando suit if ur special) to stack rewards? Less QQ more PewPew

Stuck on the decision as well. Thinking either Gallente Sentinel or Amar Commando, leaning towards the commando....but then again... Oh damn!

Reading.. shaman oga wrote: Militia Commando? Really? Please tell me this is true? Maybe more militia weapons too? xSivartx is my Heavy. There are many like him, but he is my own... So, other Logi's back off, those are my Warpoints!
Aero Yassavi Praetoriani Classiarii Templares Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 7678	Posted - 2014.03.20 12:51:00 - [22] - Quote Liking that there is a Commando event finally However is anyone starting to think CCP is going a bit overboard with all the bonus SP? Keep in mind 750k SP is roughly 4 times the weekly active cap, so this is essentially like a 5x SP event. Or since it is lasting over the course of two weeks, you can view it as a 3x SP event for two weeks if you wish. This all coming after CCP just handed out 2-3 million SP and a little while before had a similar 750k SP event. Remember back when 3x SP events were a rare thing and most months we just got some form of a 2x SP event? Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the SP, just feels like its being handed out a little too much as of late "You're not even Aero, you're just Aero's friend."

Trying to figure out what the sweet spot for kill related events should be, as well as introducing well thought out and easy to reward community events. xSivartx is my Heavy.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the SP, just feels like its being handed out a little too much as of late Oh and don't read too much into the "Militia" listing here, CCP has a tendency to write stuff like this without actually checking whether or not it makes sense. Don't expect any militia commandos. The normal course of the game does not drive activity. The active cap is too low for most casual people. Therefore, events are much more popular among the crowd who just don't have time to play the game. Events drive a lot of activity and people like to take place in them. The bonus SP is a great carrot. They could give us 3 million SP a month and it would still take us a couple years to hit the maximum amount of SP for the game. SP allows you to diversify and people get bored playing the same role for 3 months. This injection of SP allows people to skill into a new weapon or dropsuit and get a taste without having to hit the weekly cap for 4 weeks. I think 750 kills in two weeks is still a little too grindy, but its close. Thats 54 kills a day, which means at LEAST a couple hours a day considering its only sidearms/commandos.

Murt Lesp Hydra's Wraiths 45	Posted - 2014.03.20 13:37:00 - [30] - Quote I like the idea of an event every 2 weeks or so. Enough to pull people back to get thir quota instead of the usual match. It challenges players to try something new. This even gives us 3 new suit and 3 new weapons for a total of 4 suits and 7 weapons(?) to find our new niche. It doubles as a large-scale play test of the new features. Everyone wins one way or another
