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. |

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

I think they are stepping away from the grind of week long 3x SP events for awhile. 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.

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.

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.

(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.

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.

Dropsuit command lv 3, heavy lv 3, commando lv 1
Dropsuit Command lv 1-3 = 68,380 Heavy Suits lv 1-3 = 410,400 Commando Suits lv 1 = 62,200 Total = 540,980

350 Damage in 1 shot isn't worth a try when in short range? People, myself included, will find a way to make it kick @$$

That WOULD be helpful if it didn't immediately overheat your weapon.
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. |

Strategic use is an aspect, but you are correct. It's part of risk vs reward Destroy shield and switch weapons. 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. |

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. Dropsuit command lv 3, heavy lv 3, commando lv 1 Dropsuit Command lv 1-3 = 68,380 Heavy Suits lv 1-3 = 410,400 Commando Suits lv 1 = 62,200 Total = 540,980
Thanks, Murt.

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?

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? |

I have to agree somewhat with Aero.
While I LOVE the SP you guys are giving out.... errm are you sure that's what you want to be doing CCP? Ok if you say so I'm only too happy to oblige. muhaha!
But yes I do hope you use the information gathered from this event to adjust sidearms (And possibly even commando suits if need be) after the event has concluded as I am sure tweaks will be needed.

750 kills with sidearms in any suit except commando. With commando suit + sidearm you can hit the cap in 375 kills and if you can't get 375 kills in 2 weeks, you should play more DUST! |

When: March 26 GÇô April 9 from downtime to downtime Objective 1: During the event period, players must achieve kills while using any type of commando dropsuits. Rewards: For each kill while using a commando dropsuit a player character will receive 1000 skill points and a prototype AUR dropsuit of the type used. Additional event info
- All rewards are on a per character basis

Objective 2: During the event period players will receive ISK rewards for killing Commando dropsuits. Rewards: Any player character killing a Commando dropsuit during this event will receive an ISK bounty based on the type of commando dropsuit. Bounty is as follows:
- Standard GÇô 10000 ISK

- Prototype GÇô 50000 ISK
Additional event info
- All rewards are on a per character basis
- ISK bounty is capped at 10 million
- This event objective can be played in conjunction with Sidearm Showdown
ummmm...a few things make sure that you mention "If you kill a friendly player, you do not get the bonus for either event" Also, make sure to comment about "farming" kills such as when people revive someone ten times while someone on the other team keeps shooting down the same person, otherwise this is going to be a very ****** event.
What was not mentioned is, if I kill people in say a tank using a swarm launcher, do I get points for killing them if I am wearing a commando suit at the time, this was not addressed, what is said is that "If you are in a vehcile and kill someone you do not get points" Does this also include Blaster, Missile, and Rail turrets, where you are not actually inside a vehicle you are controlling a turret and can be killed very easily.
I hope this event is going to be reworded fast, along with details added in, such as do gernade kills count, they are considered to be a weapon, do remote explosives count or are they considered to be equipment? What is actually considered to be a weapon? |

Me myself amarr commando, scrambler rifle,shotgun,complex dampener, enhanced range extender,basic shield extenders(or basic damage mods) and cloak (if i can fit it) if not remotes considering scanners are going out the window with 1.8. At least for me, not much use besides too scan a doorway or look for links

Thanks for the clarification. If a kill is made with a melee attack, the logs will only show the dropsuit used and not the weapon. So, if you made a melee kill (with a sidearm) in a commando suit that would count for the commando contingency event, but not the sidearm showdown event.
We will update the event info with this and ask the dev team to track melee kills by weapon type in the future. |

How do Orbitals work regarding this?
If I'm in a Commando Dropsuit and I kill somebody with an orbital... does this count towards the Commando Contingency event?

Also, good news everyone!
To help everyone get the ball rolling, we're going to be giving anyone that has been playing in the last month 5 copies of each Standard 'Neo' Commando dropsuit. These dropsuits require no skills to use, so there's no excuse for not using them to rack up some kills during the event!

I'm really enjoying the new MagSec but I think I'll be catching most of my bonus SP from running commando suits.
Really wish the MagSec had a similar holo sight as the SMG...my aim is a bit sketch with the post sight as you push out to optimal range.

Something about if it is just added without someone creating or earning it in someway, it feels fake? And thus you cannot create virtual worlds more meaningful than real life?

That was a pleasant surprise this morning. However, I have two comments to make on this:
1. if you really want people using commando, just make them the same tank as heavies. To me, this makes sense. The weight and power draw of one "Heavy" weapon, should be about equal to 2 'light' ones. I dont use commando, because it doesnt have enough tank.
2. I am getting a bit annoyed with the "free aurum" bonus items.. because they almost always end up with me accidentally chewing into my aurum balance, when I am looking to do a quick restock of a fit in the field!!
IMO, there needs to be a game option for, "Never auto-restock aurum items in the field".
Particulary if you already HAVE THE ITEMS IN YOUR INVENTORY, but the refitter blindly takes aurum away from your wallet to buy new ones!!!! (because it just auto-buys "one of everything". GRRR)

Since the rate of fire for my Carthum Assault Scrambler Pistol was taken away, I've found the weapon to be terrible. I tried the other sidearms, and found that all of them are terrible now, and so I haven't been using any, even though I have a prototype Amarr Logistics suit, and a sidearm has been the point of one. And now there is a sidearm event. That feels terrible. It's like putting salt into a wound, and then taking an ice pick, and digging around in the wound, and scratching bone, and tearing tendons. Anyway this event has made me more unhappy.
If this game was fun, I wouldn't be playing it.

Yeah everyone it should be easy to spot commandos. They are the big noticeable character models that stick out like sore thumbs. Maybe CCP will fix them after the event. They just want the people using them to rage due to being seen from miles away. Oh well I probably won't log I for this dumb event.

OK thanks. But I thought that on some dropsuits you can't put a sidearm in the 'light weapon' slot. I remember trying it before. When you try and equip a weapon, it limits your selection to only 'light weapons' for the light slot.
I want to put a sidearm in both weapon slots basically.

The question is: Will it count as a "sidearm" kill if you pull the weapon from your "light" slot?

God dammit. Now that I finally got around to playing that event: I hate it. I ******* hate it. I can't remember the last time I raged so hard.
I'm forced to use ******* side weapons and the only thing I can do is dying. Also for some reason I only get into matches with crap blueberries and we get stomped all the time. Match starts and we hold 3 points. I attack the only enemy point remaining and suddenly I'm surrounded by 5 people. Dead. I spawn. Dead. I spawn at another point. Shotgunner out of nowhere. Dead. I really don't want to see these stupid kill events anymore. I want the SP and the only way to get them in a reasonable amount of time is to use a Commando suit with side weapons. But these weapons suck and my aiming is not really that good in close quarters. Of course I have to get into close quarters first to even be able to use them. Not to mention that every ******* time I finally find an enemy there is also another one behind me and another at my side. I always get attacked from ******* everywhere and have the feeling that I'm the only one on the whole map on my team who is outside of the redline.
Not to mention all the other times when I went 1K / 15 assists because there always was that one ******* guy snatching my kills.
It's really time for PvE and the ability for players to accomplish events like these in PvE. Because I can only take so much rage.

Yea, something without allowing squads in would be nice too, matches that takes in completely random people, and not allowing the squads, that would really make for a fair (random) gameplay and would be interesting because everyone would bring in something else, like this now you see only groups of 5 heavies and scouts all around them. This just needs to stop, more modes required and yeah, something else than continuous pvp. |

we will reward a prototype AUR dropsuit of the type used for each kill while using a commando dropsuit and maximum 400 dropsuits.

Now that I'm only 19 kills away from capping out the event SP I have to say one thing:
Never again CCP.
I hate this event. The only thing I can do every single round is raging. Why?
"Oh look! A Militia frame! Easy kill for me!" I have him almost killed. Suddenly out of nowhere a shot "Kill Assist +25".
Continue with the new Heavy frames. Currently everybody and their mother is playing a heavy. I run around a corner and suddenly 6 or 7 ******* heavies grilling me! Not to mention that side weaons aren't exactly your weapon of choice against heavies.
On top of that the strength of the Commando is 2 light weapons, yet I'm forced to use a side weapon if I want to cap out the event in a reasonable amount of time, which btw. are crap on most maps because you can barely effectively use them. They are CQC weapons.
Really, I can't even find words to describe my rage about this event. Every ******* round for me is: Kill Assist, Kill Assist, Kill Assist, Kill Assist, Kill Assist, Kill Assist, Kill Assist, Heavy, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead. I don't have a chance all against all these aimbot... pardon "aim-assist" users in CQC. They wiggle around a little bit and I can't hit **** with kb/m anymore. I wiggle around a little bit and they don't care thanks to their "aim-assist"
Really. I'm normally a patient player, don't care about K/d-ratio at all and even kill assists is something I couldn't care less about. But this event... everything except a kill pisses me off. Kill assist equals defeat. on top of that I die extremely often due to the mentioned advantage "aim-assist" users have against kb/m users and also because I suck at CQC. There is a reason I'm normally a rail rifle user. Heck: I'm about to play Dark Souls to come down. Because Dark Souls is by far not as annoying as this event.
For the next event I would really like some kind of community event again. None of these personal events anymore please. Because it gets REALLY annoying when the blues become your enemies and you have to make sure that they don't get a kill so you can get it. It annoys me to hell when a kill assist is reason to get pissed, even though normally it means that you get at least some points. And also the timing for a sidearm event couldn't be worse. I mean: A sidearm event when there are 80% heavies on the battlefield. That's just not good.
So please CCP: More Community events. More events that encourage working together towards a common goal and no events that encourage egoism. For example if you do a Logi event you would probably want people to rep and revive and so on. And then there are 15 Logis in one team, and everybody runs around trying to get a revive. This doesn't encourage teamplay. In cases like these make an event like the Million Clone Challenge. But you don't have to be so generous with the rewards. A few goals to achieve and maybe 1 MIllion SP for everybody at max.

You can choose to use sidearms on a Commando suit to speed things up, but that's your choice. Don't cry about being forced to use sidearms on a Commando suit, because it was YOUR choice to do it.
Including both kills in a Commando suit as well as sidearm kills in the same event is to ensure there's something for everybody (or more than just a few at least), and the idea was for people to do the Commando kills OR the sidearm kills, not neccesarily both (at the same time). As I said before, you could choose to speed it up by using sidearms on a Commando suit, or switching between running Commando and running sidearms on something else, but you wouldn't be required to.
Thank you for this event CCP. It was clear and easy to understand and wasn't grindy at all. You can safely do more of these kind of events to mix things up in the future.

Yes it was my choice, and it is the only choice for me to actually accomplish this event. I just don't have the time to make 750 kills.
THis still doesn't change the point that a sidearm event after releasing new heavy suits is a bad idea.
And seriously: kill events in a team based shooter aren't really that great. Because it encourages you to do stupid stuff like running in front of your teammates to make sure that YOU get the kill and not them and so on. And the Kill Assists during these events are a problem too. The events should be fun, yet they add "Kill Assist" to the rage factor.

to those aggravated at the lack of an even tracker may I suggest using you weekly kill leader board.
I do my best to use only the suiting for the event and track kills adding a -50 kill handy cap for orbitals ect.
If you dont complete week one put a sticky note on your ps3 or a note in your cell phone with the 1st weeks total if needed.

They don't really care. The bonus SP week is probably a cover up for the fact that they screwed the pooch on this event.

Received the rewards. Correct amount of suits, but only about 50% of the SP. Somethings wrong here. I counted and should have received the full SP reward. Maybe something was messed up when you did the event using a Commando Suit + Side Weapon? Because that's what I did.

Same opinion here... I counted every single kill I made using Commando, using Side Arm and using both and I made 756 kills but I only received around 600,000 SP instead of the cap that was supposed to be 750,000 so basically I screwed my KDR for using untrained crappy weapons/suits and didn't got the full reward.
Can you guys please double check the kills, I guess some of us here counted the kills and are sure that we got the cap but still didn't received it in full as reward. |

I kept track of every kill for 2 weeks.
I ran a commando suit with DUAL SIDEARMS to guarantee I would cap, still keeping track of each kill.
I got my combined total of 406 Commando suits (which is correct) but I only got about 400k of the 750k sp I should have received. I ran my commando suit with Dual sidearms so I can assure you that I wasn't paid out in full..
What is going on??
I feel like you only gave me 1000sp for a sidearm kill with a commando suit, rather than the correct 2000sp (1k for sidearm kill +1k for kill in commando suit)
I'm beyond frustrated with this situation and want answers |

Yep same here. I should have received way more SP for this event. Otherwise I would not have run a caldari commando with just sidearms.

Good luck. I got screwed on the last event and did a ticket but never got it fixed. I better have got my SP here though with my dual sidearms. Hopefully they just messed up the Commando / sidearm issue.

Please accept our sincere apologies regarding any confusion surrounding the rewards that were deployed after the recent Sidearm Showdown and Commando Contingency event. The rewards that have been supplied to yourself and all other players are believed to be accurate and as such, the rewards that you received will stand. Unfortunately, we are unable to perform any breakdowns relating to these rewards due to the complex criteria involved within the event.
If you have any further issues, or questions regarding DUST 514, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
Best Regards, GM Scotsman CCP Customer Support | EVE Online | DUST 514
Sorry CCP , but this is NOT acceptable. You said we can get the full rewards by doing 375 kills using a sidearm while wearing a Commando suit. I raged through this event. And now you say you can't tell if I really did 375 kills using a Commando suit and sidearms and you only give me half of the reward?! Sorry, but I can't accept this. If you are unable to tell if we really did this, then don't say we can do this in the first place!

Got the same "precise" generic answer. Really you are going to create an event too "complex" for you to track correctly.
You awarded me 306 aur commando suits so you know I got 306 kills with a commando suit. You have awarded others who did not use a commando suit but did use a sidearm to get kills so you are capable of tracking side arm kills. So put the 2 together and voila an accurate SP payout. |

So apparently according to CCP I must be the one confused about the conditions of the event and they are pretty sure that the awards they have awarded are probably correct.
Doesn't sound like I am the one who is confused or unsure. As far as I am concerned you get 1000 SP for getting a kill in a commando suit and 1000 SP for getting a kill using a sidearm. I only used a commando suit and a sidearm to get my 300 + kills, bar 2-3 kills, and only received 300K SP approx for the event i.e. I only received 50% of the SP award.
This is getting annoying and lessens my opinion and trust in the actions of CCP going into the future. |

I'm ok with at least having an apology from them, even if they don't give the rewards, cause what it really pisses me off is their attitude towards their mistake, they blame us instead of accepting it was their fault. |

Original post in GD. Sorry don't know how to do links.
Well if they do not reply to the email I just sent them (copy below) then I doubt they actually care enough to investigate at all or even show they have learnt anything from previous events.
What you will find below is me venting to CCP about how I feel about how I and others have been treated.
Dear Sir,
Really that's it. 2 copy and paste replies that you sent out to everyone. Did you bother even looking into my specific case? or did you just not bother and just hit the auto reply.
The next is not meant to be taken as a threat but an expression of how I feel about your treatment so far.
On Eve Online and Dust 514 a favoured expression is that "your actions have consequences". This also applies to CCP and for the following reasons:
1. BPO removal. You were removing the specific skill so removing the BPO was fine. However, it was your approach that affected my future decisions. You could have removed the BPO's early, given the Aur refund, and allowed players the opportunity to use that aurum to purchase other BPO's or not. You could have replaced the BPO's with the nearest new skill alternative. Instead you chose to remove our BPO's at the same time as you removed all the other BPO's from the market only leaving depleatable items for purchase.
This action on your part meant that I was unwilling to buy any product with a BPO item in it e.g. your veteran pack or your anniversary pack.
2. Your removal of the merc pack which gave me BPO's and a 30 day active booster and enough aurum to purchase a 30 day passive booster and still have enough to buy other BPO's and replacing it with, in my opinion, a far less value for money alternative.
This action has stopped me buying any of your packs or boosters. Once the aurum on my account has been used up that will be it as far as aurum is concerned.
This result may have been great in terms of your in game "economy" but has negative consequences for your profit and loss account since I am no longer willing to buy stuff with real money.
All that draws me back to your game are the following:
1. One day you may create the game that people see the potential in. However, this is not enough to get me to actively play what is currently a lobby shooter.
What does make me an active player is:
2. When you bring in significant new content. This does not happen often and the gap between times is long enough that I stop actively playing.
However, what covers the periods between the introduction of new content is:
3. The events you put on. Not all events as I pretty much ignored the heavy event but at least some of them. However, with your actions of actively ignoring players who raise the issue of incorrect rewards, and specifically theirs, and generating cookie cutter answers and not bothering to look at their specific complaint you are basically saying don't bother playing in these slightly more complex events because we can not even track them correctly.
I do not understand why you wish to discourage people from playing your game by ignoring legitimate issues.
What is SP worth in the real world?
Nothing.
But to the player who plays the game the SP reward was a reflection of the effort they made and to be told that 50% of the reward you were expecting won't be handed out just reduces the value of future events, my enjoyment, the game and CCP as a whole in my eyes.
Just handing out 750K SP to every player, or at least, those who raised a ticket concerning this issue would not have been game breaking but ignoring your player base is.
One event or even 2 may not be a big thing but all the actions are cumulative and are having an affect.
I hope you do make an effort to solve this problem amicably for all those involved as I believe doing so will have a positive impact on your player base.

I quite agree, it would have been no bother to anyone if that had issued or even still do issue the missing SP. It's not like the extra SP is even going to make a difference to my character but, I put plenty of time into this event and expect to get the DUE rewards I KNOW I EARNED.

They answered me a few days ago and told me that they have awarded "some players" the missing event SP. Glad that worked out in the end.
But CCP: You should really start working on a counter we can always look up to make sure something like this doesn't happen again.
