Can we have BPOs added to the Marketplace again?
The entire reasoning behind it's removal is currently non-existent anyways.

Can I ask very innocently and honestly, why? Is it just about making ISK? I never considered buying one myself and never use them even if I have them from multiple packs I have bought.
Just a couple of thoughts.
Which items would be the most sought after? I don't remember what BPO's used to be out there. Did we ever have BPO's for all the racial rifles etc?
Is there demand for higher level BPO's, maybe the Basic Heavy and Mediums, with no skill requirement, to get new players through the initial pain threshold?

I would be happy if i could have a Gallente Assault G-I BPO that looks just as good as the 'Neo' /Federation G-I with blue instead of green. Or no matter how it looks, just give me an Assault G-I BPO.
I also would have loved to own the 'Dren' shotgun. I was also planning on collecting Galscout suits, but only grabbed the 'Valor' (Actually rushed and bought the Veteran Pack the week before it was removed just to get the AUR for it)
In short, i'd be complete with a BPO of every STD G-I suit.
ISK is NOT really what matters. It just feels awesome to have something that's somewhat unique and that you know is permanent. |

What about making limited-time only BPOs based on events or released by seasons? I'd pay to collect those, and if we had this vendor, we could trade them with people who would pay ISK instead of AUR. That'd be interesting. |

There are several reason, which vary from person to person. For me, it's simply the appeal of having an item which never runs out, and for cosmetics. Though for some, it could be simply about making ISK.
The most sought out would be the Modules, as while the suits are relatively cheap, the Modules increase the price of the fitting. Most players wouldn't really use Basic Frame BPOs because they aren't effected by skill bonuses found in the Specialized BPOs, which serves to be very useful in most situations.

Part of the fun of BPOs is having a unique suit that you do not have to pay for every time. I guess you could say its our way of just paying for custom skins (speaking for myself). The ISK factor does come into it a little bit but really you can make almost the same amount running the basic suit that it matches.
My list of BPOs:
Full templar set Militia Uplink Militia Nanite injector Toxin Assault Rifle Dragonfly suit Caldari LAV
Oh an there is something relaxing about playing in a free suit just because you really do not care about losing it so you just fight hard.

From what I recall is that the only benefits were that they were unlimited and had different colors I had a red one for a while. If you bring them back I'd suggest waiting for legion then make a special bpo for the players that come over from dust. Cuz we're awesome, sometimes. Personally I'd like an adv or proto bpo. Not only would it inflate my wallet but it would help the new players get into them without going broke Also the old Imperfects were promised a black ops lav bpo. I think it was black ops? There's only a few of us left though.

I'd love a Gallente G-1 assault suit, heck I'd trade my Caldari assaults for it.
We currently only have a BPO for these items: (Only non MLT will be listed) Plasma rifle(3 version if the same rifle) ScR LR ScP SG SL G-1 scout C-1 assault A-1 sentinel A-1 Logi A-1 assault M-1 Logi
Annnnndddd uhhhhhh that's all I can remember. But yeah, I'd take a new BPO or 2.

Tisk tisk the isk, easy to get.
I'd rather like to see blueprints(I assume that is what BPO means?) go to good use rather than collect 'dust'. Get it, collect dust? Eh nevermind, point is I wouldn't mind giving away blueprints to someone who'll use 'em. Or even the couple hundred 'quafe' scouts suits, the various officer weapons I know I won't use, or various other items I have no interest in that lots of others do.
Obviously this'd be a pretty hefty attempt at introing player insider trading, so it'll likely just be a wish that'll only reside in the nearest well. |

Player created paint jobs for each suit that can be applied in the fitting menu that sells for like 100 Aurum each with a small amount of the aurum going to the player that created it.
Yes I totally stole this idea from planetside but it sounds awesome.

Frame suits are kinda pointless, but a BPO for the standard level of each racial specialty would be great. Ditto for weapons. BPOs for militia infantry gear hardly hurt the game from an economic standpoint, since the normal versions are so cheap to begin with; the only militia items that would really hurt for economic reasons would be vehicles.
Most of my go-to fittings are Dren suits with a toxin SMG as a sidearm; I use the Dren shotgun on my scouts, and make fair use out of militia BPO modules on a lot of suits as well. These fitting are more than adequate for pub matches and usually sufficient for FW; the only suit I use regularly that has no BPO parts is my AV fit.
Militia and standard BPOs are great because they aren't useful enough for the PC crowd (who spend most of the isk in this game) to bother using, but they give entry level and non-PC players a way to play on the cheap as far as isk. That crowd is also far less likely to spend aurum on one time use weapons and dropsuits, but many would gladly shell out a few real-world bucks for a suit or weapon that they never have to restock. |

Reasons why BPO's were/are valuable.
1. You did not have to constantly buy suits or certain modules, you could just play the game, if your suit died you didn't care as much.
2. The looks of the suits at times varied from the standard and had unique looks.
3. Yes some of this was about hedging the costs of suits, such as saving roughly 1-3k per suit or 600 isk per module.
4. Often times these suits are used for AV, mainly because trying to take on tanks or dropships is a very hazardous venture at the best of times.
5. BPO suits are awesome for people just starting the game and they don't know what they are doing. Because you can experiment with the suit and it has low skill req if any skill req at all, it was how I was able to play logi for a long time.
6. BPO LAVs saves you roughly 30k each time it is blown up either by a tank or timing out and just self destructing. Yeah I've seen LAVs just run out of time and suicide.
7. BPO weapons Slightly better then militia most times, great for just messing around with, especially when you don't want to care about dying, aka when you are being proto stomped into the ground.
In conclusion, yes it does have to deal with isk, because everything in this game deals with isk, but it is also about a fun factor and not having to worry or care about each death as much.
Also....as a side note can we please sell items/weapons we get from factional battles, got a ton of stuff I will never use or at least make it an option to be able to sell it back or trade to another player or something? |

Speaking of player market, I don't really understand why we can't just have direct p2p trading for items in the same way we have direct p2p isk transfer. Doesn't seem like it'd be difficult to do at all. Click player's name -> "Transfer Asset" -> Assets screen -> select asset and amount, hit transfer -> done. The back end stuff should be relatively simple, as practically all the mechanics could be pirated from elsewhere in the code, just needs a tiny interface modification.
As to bpos, it'd be nice to have some for every race and/or have more with ridiculous cosmetics. No higher than Basic, though.
Reality is the original Rorschach.
Verily! So much for all that.

I'd love the oportunity to pick up racial weapons and suits, though I wouldn't want to see suits and weapons go beyond the standard level. For modules, maybe, but you'd need to be really careful about that. We already have near endless proto stompers, giving the option of unlimited proto fits...
What I'd really like is an armstice where I can trade existing BPOs on a like for like basis for racial equivalents. As a Minmatar loyalist, I'm finding I get little use out of the Templar set, except for using the Templar heavy as a platform for a HMG. If I could swap them for the Minmatar equivalents, I'd be very pleased.
Generally it's not about ISK. Most of the people who are interested will be pretty ISKed up regardless. I just find that it simplifies some of my fits and gives me the chance to use something different on the battlefield. So ease of use and cosmetics.

I have the Dren set and yes I know several that want BPO's back. Its not about the ISK, its the feel of not caring as you throw suit after suit at the enemy and knowing it will always be there. I am currently skilling into each race that the Dren has. I have the Armarr Heavy maxed and I am working on the Cal Assault, next will be Min Logi all for their racial bonuses.
I would say the all suits be sough after. Weapons would be the CR, RR, ScR, and SG. Equipment would be uplink, nanohive, maybe rep tool.
No we never got all the racial rifles only the AR.

I'm fine with BPOs as long as they're militia variants. I was already getting kinda [redacted] about the standard BPO's, even though I use them. I'm curious as to the impact they have on the economy, especially if we plan on transferring ISK and what not over to Legion once it's Greenlit.

I was (and still are) not very fond of the BPO mechanics in Dust, even if I own quite a lot of them. For me they are great for cosmetic purposes, but they have very limited use in-game since they are militia / standard items (apart from making ISK).
I guess that without a player market the old BPOs can be reintroduced (and perhaps new ones), if people want to spend money on them. However, under no circumstances should any higher tier BPOs be introduced! (Would be game breaking)
What is more important for me is the ability to sell my surplus gear etc to a NPC vendor for half price (or whatever). This is more important for me than anything else. |

I would probably murder someone IRL or pay 30 bucks to have a BPO with a truly spiffy paint scheme like the really slick one on the State Proto Cal Assault has in the loyalty store. It's much prettier then the normal assault colors, or even the dragonfly colors.
I gotta look pretty.

Just a couple of thoughts.
Which items would be the most sought after? I don't remember what BPO's used to be out there. Did we ever have BPO's for all the racial rifles etc?
Is there demand for higher level BPO's, maybe the Basic Heavy and Mediums, with no skill requirement, to get new players through the initial pain threshold?
I almost exclusively use BPO's... dren stuff, except for equipment, I use adv mostly. and when I was new my bpo's helped me to make isk, and try out all diferent types of fits, with a cash investment instead of an isk one. my blueprint LAV was probably the best purchase I ever made in this game. much more so than boosters ever were ( which I bought a crap ton of)
when this game meant something, it was fun to collect stuff like the bpo's... would love a tank and dropship bpo...
quite honestly I get a lot of use out of my BPO's and I was pissed when CCP stole 4 of them from me... have not bought a thing since, and so far I have received 2 refunds from sony as an apology for your company's poor business practices... |

I'd rather see the ability to sell isk bought items back to the store that we no longer need.
Without a future player market, does it really matter if we get isk back for these items?

people are just looking for standard lvl gear that they can make a loadout to grind isk in pubs. It helps new players save up isk for proto suits when they do unlock them.

There are many way's BPOs could help new players and keep the veterans using lower tier suits. One thing CCP have never looked at and this would be an awesome way to reward your bitter-vets --> Modify current BPOs 'Dragonfly' 'Dren' 'Raven' 'Sever' 'Templar' 'Exile' 'Toxin' and basically give players the choice of which Race their BPO's are ; eg. Dragonfly Assault - switched from Caldari C-I to Gallent G-I ...... IF ONLY!!!!!! |

VERY IMPORTANT:
LAV BPOs are a major balance concern, due to their effect on Jihad Jeeps. The current exclusivity of LAV BPOs makes the game P2W in certain situations, because someone who's got the BPO (Which can't even be gotten anymore) can easily murder tanks without throwing away at least 40k ISK.
You might want to look into that. Maybe give everyone a really disposable LAV as BPO or something, to even the playing field. That would require more balance consideration, though... |

You get to look awesome while you fight an losing battle in a STD suit against enemies in ADV and PRO. This is also why AUR suits don't quite cut it. The 'Neo' suits make you look like a try-hard newberry and the pre-fitted consumable suits are just way too expensive just for the skin.
I would spend money either on: - STD BPOs with special skins or - Consumable higher tier suits and weapons that cost the same amount of ISK as their normal counterparts, but a couple AUR extra for the vanity aspect
The State Protectorate C-1 for example looks all nice. But I don't feel like using AUR suits when I will likely get stomped by PRO equipment while wearing it. If it were a BPO I could shell out a few dollars for it and then fly those colors all day long.
By the way, when you implement higher tier AUR stuff that may actually become popular, please consider that destroyed AUR doesn't contribute to the ISK-pool that is shared at the end of the match (as far as I'm aware). This makes powerful AUR items a considerable ISK drain in the economy. This was easy to observe with AUR HAVs when they were popular. They destroyed ISK by the millions but didn't generate any when destroyed themselves. That made fighting them annoying. |

Jihad Jeeps happeend because tanks became ungodly, for example where they used to have 5-6 tanks in an ambush on one side and just literally slaughter everyone. The tanks would completely lock the airways except for LAVs which could be summoned enough and cheaply enough. So what you are complaining about is a reaction to a problem not a problem in itself. Either that or you didn't care about AV efforts and are a tanker and just want to slaughter everyone with an "I win button"
We used to have it where everyone did have a cheap unlimited LAV, this was during the days of murder taxis where people would just race around 1 shoting everyone that was not in a vehicle. This was taken away with a promise we would eventually have hover bikes I think for solo transport to get us from point A to B fast.
Also how do you feel about the fact that a tank that is worth 70k can 1 (rail tank) shot an infantry that is worth of 80-100k or more many times without having the infantry having a chance even when they are equiped with AV gear. |

The point of the BPO's was to let you relax for a minute and maybe make some isk. Like ok, I have a red caldari covenant BPO that I got from something I bought a long time ago and an LAV BPO I got from the same pack, right?
So not having to buy LAV's when I just use them as throwaway cars to get me around quickly is really nice. I don't want to spend an obscene amount of money to make a 60 second journey on foot in 20 seconds in the LAV. I need that ISK to be able to keep my proto logi suit stocked up with goodies because tanks are up my backside every 3 seconds and they camp spawn points, so essentially I lose millions of isk in just a few minutes because tanks are horribly overpowered and people are cheap as can be and they think sitting in a tank and getting 70 kills makes them a good player.
So when that happens...why can't I use a full bpo suit that is at least advanced quality so I don't get burnt up by a rail rifle in 3 seconds?
It just makes sense...plus it'll make CCP money. I know you guys like money lol it can't be cheap to run EVE, Dust and develop Legion and Valkyrie |

the basic bpos were, multiple AR's , all militia gear, basic heavy suit, assault suit, logi suit and scout suit.
throguh excessively expensive packs you could get yourself a basic sniper bpo, and a basic lav bpo.
end of the day I don't think these should come back, but I do think players should get some kind of trade or sell to store option.
i'm sick of the clutter in assets and I want to get rid of alot of the salvage junk i'll never use.
at least with a trade option i could move it all over to an alt.
save all that can you let me delete assets at least.... |

I think reintroducing BPOs should only be done if their treatment and transition into Project Legion has been fully decided upon by Game Design. The original reason for BPO removal was because of long term damage to the economy, but if the Dust economy isn't going to be transferred over to Project Legion then the economic impact wouldn't be as significant.
Using Dust as a testbed for the idea of BPO suits with the cost shifted to modules might actually be something to consider as well.

Any argument for BPOs can be summarised in the release of endorphines of anyone wearing a Templar set into battle.

if yall put out adv bpos at a reasonable price and there was some guarantee that dust would be on the ps3 servers for the next few years ide buy them.
ide pay for an adv amar pack
adv amar logi adv amar assault adv amar sentinel adv amar scout adv scr scp lr
ide buy any of those...ide also buy adv bpo logi gear if you came out with a logi gear pack
actually ide pretty much buy any adv bpo that have the abilities to use..as i have said from the day you removed em you lost my money :) bpos were all i ever wanted bpos and boosters baby keep em rollin
but as for basic suits like non racial variants...no definitely not gear...guns.vehicle stuffs..racial variant suits...thats about it..

Just a couple of thoughts.
Which items would be the most sought after? I don't remember what BPO's used to be out there. Did we ever have BPO's for all the racial rifles etc?
Is there demand for higher level BPO's, maybe the Basic Heavy and Mediums, with no skill requirement, to get new players through the initial pain threshold?
I'm not sure how many people feel this way, but I would buy a BPO just for the color scheme. 5-10 dollars for a permanent caldari scout suit that looks different than the blue version seems like a lot better deal then spending money over and over again for "neo" suits that eventually run out.
Also, imo, I don't think there should be BPO's of anything past "standard" level. anyways, that's my opinion. |

Kain Spero wrote:I think reintroducing BPOs should only be done if their treatment and transition into Project Legion has been fully decided upon by Game Design. The original reason for BPO removal was because of long term damage to the economy, but if the Dust economy isn't going to be transferred over to Project Legion then the economic impact wouldn't be as significant.
Using Dust as a testbed for the idea of BPO suits with the cost shifted to modules might actually be something to consider as well.
I don't usualy like cpm posts or side with traitors.... but I have to say kain is right.... |

Dude does your marketing department ever play video games? We want them for the variety man, for the collection, have you ever played COD? Dude they sell skins for guns, not even guns just skins, hell bo2 sold a bacon skin, we would buy that ****.... You make me a unique caldari skin for my rr or bolt pistol give it a funky name that represents the state and im there. I bought the drens and they are an ugly brown, but its the joke, dren is nerd right? This stuff would all sell, just keep it at basic gear bpo it all out give it decent aur prices and re release it with new colors, camos, and themes ever so often... This is what gamers do. Hell cod figured out how to make you buy a 60 dollar game, six $15.00 expansion packs, and dozens of skins for guns with dog tags etc etc etc. To be successful, simply observe what successful people do...... |
