The old events were very taxing on resources and manpower. Now that much of the Dust team has been shipped over to Legion we will be pretty limited in regards to what kind of events can be run. Which is not to say we won't be getting any at all, just that they may be more limited in scope and design.

Might be worth finally doing a Double ISK payout Event.
For me and vet's like me it wouldnt matter, how i could spend over 2 bil personally before this game ends is beyond me.
But most who didnt partake in PC since it's implementation are not in similar boats.
I Think it would improve competition on the battlefield atleast until the ISK get's used up.
P.S. You Pair an Experience event(Possibly an ISK) with Omega Boosters, And possibly add Heavy Weapon Variants... And watch Revenues flow back into DUST. |

can the accelerated sp event actually multiply the total sp we gain, not just the sp gained from wp? some of us play roles that dont award as many wp, so the event would not help us as much, just everyone else

When do we get the 3 day omega boosters for the 1 year birthday event? I redeemed mine last week (which ultimately led me to find out about Legion), but it hasn't showed up on my account yet. At this point, I plan on enjoying dust while people are still playing so I might as well use the boosters I have (or in this case should have). |

They were always confusing for the players as well as expensive to administer. Double or treble SP events are all that anyone's ever really wanted and it can't take a lot of work on your end. |

The only DUST event I ever saw that should of been taxing was the Caldari Prime event well over a year ago as that caused visual changes to maps. I thought that was a promise of things to come but was severely mistaken. As the rest was merely built off stats and/or gear used, that should be easy enough to tabulate (if things were done correctly on the backend).

For me it's both. There was so much expectation that 1.9 would bring so many vast changes that a full respec was inevitable. Now we find out that the game is being replaced with a game that hasn't even been green lighted. This does not paint a very good picture. Legion, if it does come to fruition, will pretty much be a full respec. But when will we see this? 1 year? 2 years? And yes, I made some mistakes with my SP that I would like to correct as well.
It would be nice, but I doubt it will happen. |

You do realize that the CPM can't actually force CCP to do anything, right? They're advocates, advisers, diplomats. The CPM doesn't hold any sway over CCP other than suggesting the right course of action and considering that the majority, if not -all- of the CPM representatives are strong advocates for respecs, I think you're grossly misinformed.

Yeah trying to play Dust, knowing that outside of FW deployments which for now are still tied to EVE, without hope of further Amarr content or events is pretty pointless and frankly very difficult.....

I understand the desire to have all SP in an event because they likely won't be doing events like the commando one that give sp for kills to balance out that slayers have to be really, really, really good slayers to get high WP, but they moved to WP only to reduce AFKing during the events.

Thank you for a new event, please keep them coming through. along with the rewards in the "news" letter.
I realise that ccp are up to things concerning legion but there is still a potential long time before that comes out or the ps3 player base completely leaves for ps4, and it would be nice to keep getting incentive to stay on and to keep others staying put.

I hope completing them is not so deeply resource intensive as to be totally off the table as a consideration moving forward.
Be that as it may, I'm sure the community would rather have more events even in somewhat limited scope (and we do love our SP ) so it's good to hear they'll still be happening.
Thanks for the update, it's good to see an active CCP presence maintaining on these forums and I hope it continues all the way into Legion launch.

I see where you're coming from here, and your point is valid as far as it goes, however here's the flip-side.
The more stable and persistent Dust is during the (possibly years) before a full Legion launch as a live game, the more reasonable and doable the transfer of assets beyond SP becomes upon Legion Launch. With respecs that are too free flowing we start to impact the entire shape of what is used, purchased, spent, etc and that will carry over into Legion as assets are transferred, unless CCP choose to wipe all of our assets during character migration. To be clear, I am firmly opposed to such a wipe. Which is why I perceive it as important that we maintain Dust with as much stability and persistence as possible in the lead up to Legion.
0.02 ISK Cross
ps ~ Dust development is ongoing, even if at a lower resource pool, and one of the key ongoing elements is balance polish. Honing that meta, rather than just swinging it wildly from one thing to another, is going to be more possible in a persistent environment not a purely fluid one such as that created by limitless respec options.

You Pair an Experience event(Possibly an ISK) with Omega Boosters, And possibly add Heavy Weapon Variants... And watch Revenues flow back into DUST.
Yea I finally started throwing isk away stupidly in battles, its great fun :)
I too would buy AN OMEGA! nom nom |

There will be an Accelerated SP Event coming up in the next few weeks though :) When do we get the 3 day omega boosters for the 1 year birthday event? I redeemed mine last week (which ultimately led me to find out about Legion), but it hasn't showed up on my account yet. At this point, I plan on enjoying dust while people are still playing so I might as well use the boosters I have (or in this case should have).

Are you freaking kidding me? You guys suck. I'm done being nice about your guys participation. First, you send in CCP Pok+Žmon Guy to ask us questions on what we want to see and then you confirm you don't have the manpower for events? This is absurd. How the hell are you going to deliver balance in other areas if you can't even do an event?

Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty unhappy with the situation too, but the logistics behind running and administrating an event are a much bigger task than balancing weapons and the like; the hard part of the latter is figuring out the how and the why. From a technical standpoint it's pretty simple, you just change some numbers around server-side and shazam you're good to go. Keeping track of awards and sp earned for every player during an event though is much more fiddly.
Which is a shame. I loved the heavy/scout event, it got me into an entirely new playstyle.

I do database programming. You create a SP to audit and update toons. Events are something I can run bymyself in minutes. Telling me that changing the radius of let us say...a grenade blowing up is easier than an event is absurd. That's like saying climbing one step is easier than climbing 3. They are in the same category of ease.
If it is, at all, any more complicated then what I described then CCP definitely has terrible management AND terrible developers. What developer can't come up with an audit SP to run on toons? That's absurd. It's the basic test I give potential new hires in interviews. "I need you to create an audit SP that stores the data from X,Y, and Z tables into View 'J' and check 'J' for columns 'A' and 'B' where B is the constant. After the check I need it to update Table 'L' in Boolean on whether column 'A' of view 'J' was equal or greater than column 'B' of that same view. The Boolean output should be in new colum 'Z' in table 'L'l".
Anyway, it isn't hard.
I'll tell you what happened.
CCP didn't know how to make a lot of stuff for the game so at the beginning they outsourced a lot of code. It all half sucked. Over time they lost the source of compiled code or never got it in the first place. They don't know how to make some of that outsourced compiled code from scratch and this has built up over and over and over for the past 2+ years. Now they have a game they can't fix b/c they honestly don't have the technical ability to do it given it's current circumstance. In addition, they probably have some licensing issues with some of the initial rendered products of the game. For example, if I pay company X to make my Y number of guns then Company X might have requirements for the developer to use them. Without thinking the developer company takes the deal and now you can't copy and paste guns and change a few things because it would breach agreements with other companies.
I've seen it before. What is sad is that they are going to do it again for Legion and everyone is getting their hopes up thinking it will be better. They have bad habits and follow zero standardized and existing models that have breaded wild success for other companies
If I could stop drinking when I play Dust then I would stop buying AUR but I really like not spending that SP for complex Kinkats and just buying them with AUR. Sigh.

You ancient exiles billionares why not sponsored a corp? If the current competition is not up to par then trained them to be and then once they get up to par you can fight them. |
