Time to put my money where my mouth is... eh?

I accept your challenge, my good man.

I will play with a starter frontline and a basic uplink

so far its going as expected not great but not awful


in 3 matches so far

lost 18k
made 250K

and its kind of fun...

damn....

"Enki" is a popular first name.....hahahaha...strange, does it mean something ?

I was someone who was vehemently against pve in dust, as it would take away development of the pvp aspect.

I just started playing eve about a week ago. I now understand and see the light. We need pve in dust and we need it badly.

The 1% did not save they got it from a broken planetary conquest and getting money from the Eve side for that short time before ccp stop that but did not take away the money those corps got . There is just a handful of corps and players that we will never be able to stand up to ever.

I do not understand how someone can possibly go negative ISK in a match... Do you die more than 20 times or something?

Twice in a full Proto Suit is enough to go ISK negative.
Also when your being stoped by 12 NS killing you as you drop from the MCC 20 deaths would be a god send.

I have almost 500 million isk, all earned through pubs. I would gladly go back to ZERO along kwith everyone else if it would help balance the game//market.

When you max out your core skills you'll find that your starter BPO fits are incredibly robust. My Gallente Starter Fit could get over 600ehp and still carry decent weapons and equipment.

Here are some tips:

1) Save up ISK and then restock in bulk. Like, 100+ at a time. Of everything. Suits, weapons, equipment, everything. Then when you have a bad game, you're not down and out. If you play and your net is ISK positive, a few bad games here and there won't hurt you. If you do this and you stay ISK negative, then you need to adapt your playstyle.

2) Don't wait until you're flat broke to run your cheap fits. Once you get below a certain threshold, run cheap fits and nothing else until you get back above said threshold. My threshold is currently set at 5 million ISK. When I get below that, I run fits that I know with certainty allow me to go ISK positive. I just restocked everything (ADV & Basic suits, weapons, equipment, modules, everything). I got down to just over 2.5 million ISK. For the time being I plan to run my cheap fits and save up until I get at least 10 million ISK. Then I plan to send ISK in increments to a bank toon (out of sight, out of mind...this leads me to my next point).

3) Create a bank toon. Make another PSN account, it takes all of 5 minutes, and create another DUST character. This will serve two purposes...one, it will give you a character to sit and rack of passive SP over time. As you log in, after a few months you'll have a respectable amount of SP to play with. It can make for a fun break from your main. Two, it acts as a bank for your main toon such that it keeps you from spending ISK as easily on your main. Send your bank toon ISK in increments (250k, 500k, 1M, 5M, whatever works for you) and then forget about it. Keep your min above the aforementioned ISK threshold, and when the time comes you'll realize you've saved quite a pretty penny on your bank toon.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

There are so many people that are playing Dust 514 with very little Isk . Is there going to be any different modes in the future that we can make Isk like that drone mode where we can fight drones all night and make Isk .if you are broke let them know.and I don't want to here run free suits or anything like that because in theory running free suits is good but In the game of dust it is pointless when pretty much everyone is running proto.please leave a comment if you are having troubles playing dust because of the lack of Isk.

Peasants try working. Last I check basic suits are fairly cheap to run. Peasants.

Does your corp pay for you to play or do they just hord all of the Isk from PC battles.

Not everyone's corp does PC battles, and not everyone in a corp that does PC battles partakes in the battles themselves.

My corp does PC battles but I personally have just under 9M SP and due to poor skill choices early in my DUST career I am nowhere near having a proto fit. As such, I do not take part in PC battles.

PC battles are where the proto gear comes out and the combat is no holds barred.

ok.

I'll send you 10 million isk when I log on in about 15 minutes. You do not have to call me 'God", but the 1st person that you kill with weapons from my gift you must tea bag....or die trying.....

that is all.

Total given out in last 2 days from this post is now 53,000,000 isk...

Just to be fair, all starter fits / suits are not at all created equal.

The starter Gallente fits can easily get 400-600 hp with armour reps depending on the fit, they still move at a decent speed too.

The others vary from that point, however the Minmatar starter fits really do lack horribly in the HP department and honestly gain nothing in return. At most a tiny speed increase over the other suits but it is nothing noticeable considering the hp disadvantage.

TLDR - Gallente starter gets 400-600hp even with bad skills, Minmatar gets 200-400hp (At a push) and offers nothing special.

I am looking for a group of 32 of the so called 1% to join me in a 2 sided q-sync into a pub domination for an all out isk blood bath so that I and hopefully a couple of others can film the payout results.

My goal here is to prove that with the way the pub payouts work the guy at the bottom of the board who did nothing should be thanking the two guys running proto who died twice and increased theirs and everyone elses payout.

The channel for this is " Payout Proof "

Please be ready to run a series of very expensive pub contracts. My goal is to run a series of 3 matches where I achieve a set number of points to compare the payout on film for everyone to see.

The process will go like this:

1 squad running ADV gear into a pub.
1 squad running PROTO gear into a pub.
2 squads running ADV sync into opposite sides.
2 squads running full proto sync into opposite sides.

and the grand finale two teams of 16 sync onto opposite sides for a full proto bloodbath.

My goal will be to complete each of these and film all of these matches while achieving only 400 points before I afk to analyze the payouts from each. Hopefully we can get a group willing to contribute to this experience as well as have some crazy matches outside of PC.


Please be patient in the channel as it will take a little time until we have the people to complete this experiment.

I do not understand how someone can possibly go negative ISK in a match... Do you die more than 20 times or something?

you die twice in a pro suit.
