Murt Lesp Hydra's Wraiths 47	Posted - 2014.03.20 16:26:00 - [40] - Quote So, if I buy a militia tank and obliterate 100's of commandos that will likely take to the field, I can farm isk right? Their defenses don't include a drop from maximum dropship altitude. 6 Mercs dropping at full speed out of no where.

Maken Tosch DUST University Ivy League 7522	Posted - 2014.03.20 16:50:00 - [42] - Quote CCP, does this event account for boosting? What constitutes a "kill"? The kill that nets you 50 WP or the kill that results in the destruction of the clone? Dedicated Scout // Ninja Knifer Everything I know about the Caldari I learned at Nouvelle Rouvenor
Chunky Munkey Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 3577	Posted - 2014.03.20 16:56:00 - [43] - Quote Shall we just call this the "Magsec event" since the SMG & Scrambler pistol are being needlessly nerfed and the new pistols are underwhelming? No.

It'll definitely be a grind fest to those whose role is to support and not kill. AKA any Min Logi in 1.8. Maybe one day CCP will hold a support oriented event.... But to be honest... CCP probably doesn't know if the new content is truely OP and they want us to test it for them. I game over like a boss.
Dingleburt Bangledack PiZzA DuDeS 41	Posted - 2014.03.20 17:31:00 - [46] - Quote Well, now it seems all my time playing Sidearm Scout will have been for something.
Reallusion GrimSleeper Need Permission to Die LLC 20	Posted - 2014.03.20 17:33:00 - [47] - Quote Aero Yassavi wrote: 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 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. (A) It prevents people from whining as much about wanting respecs (B) It allows people to quickly gain SP so they can actually try other things without having to wait forever to gain the SP to do so (C) It puts everyone on a more even playing field, especially the new people. If a person is using a particular suit and is already maxed out with that suit, then gaining more SP isn't helping nor hurting him in aspects of gameplay, but to those whom have low SP or just started, the new SP gains help tremendously in making the game more fair for them. I see nothing wrong with that. The current maps are getting old and it starts to get boring sitting there playing them over and over and over trying to get SP which is why you see so many people AFK farming. These events get people into gear because you have more of a purpose/reason to play. You get a real reward for achieving an objective as opposed to just playing and getting some. That's my opinion anyway. Join the revolution... change the future.
Maximus Stryker Who Are Those Guys 877	Posted - 2014.03.20 17:44:00 - [48] - Quote Joseph Ridgeson wrote: Sad to see the next event will be a grind fest again. not a grind, just play like you normally would and enjoy the rewards. No on is forcing you to grind 750 sidearm kills. My guess is that so people who play casually can get rewarded and the people who can no life grid don't get 5 mill SP from killing everything in sight with a sidearm for 2 weeks. Relax and enjoy your hobby. *Faction Channels for FW Staging* PIE Ground Control \| Caldari Hierarchy \| Turalyon \| Chosen Matari
Jaysyn Larrisen OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 834	Posted - 2014.03.20 17:53:00 - [49] - Quote Hmm. I'm not skilled into heavies at all.... I wonder how much SP i would need to invest to make this worth while? Wouldn't I need to get dropsuit command to 5, heavy to 3', and then finally get Commsndo, right? That seems like it would pret much wipe out any bonus SP from the event for me. "Endless money forms the sinews of War." - Cicero

Almost kill a MLT suit in one shot, then stand there and watch as you get gunned down because you can't shoot back... Sounds great.

It's all part of learning Well, I suppose you could hit someone with a charge shot, hide, then come back out when the overheat cooldown is over. Seems like an awful lot of hassle for the same result that any other gun could do by itself in half the time. That and if you wanted to finish someone with a charge shot, you might as well have just kept shooting with your primary. I'm still going to try out the Ion Pistol, it's just that I have next to no hope of it being more useful in any situation than any other gun.

Shaira Ilv Enna-Ress Maphia Clan Corporation 34	Posted - 2014.03.20 19:47:00 - [58] - Quote Again CCP fails to provide full details. I saw at least 2 good questions without answer: 1) using a Commando suit WITH a sidearm GåÆ does that provide 2000 SP x Kill? 2) Using a Commando INSIDE a vehicle GåÆ does still give 1000 SP x Kill?

Banjo Robertson Bullet Cluster Legacy Rising 104	Posted - 2014.03.20 22:36:00 - [60] - Quote So if a commando suit uses a sidearm to kill someone, does it count as one kill for the sidearm event, and also one kill for the commando event, gaining 2,000 SP total? Or does it just count as 1,000 SP?
