True Adamance Praetoriani Classiarii Templares Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 11547	Posted - 2014.07.03 20:12:00 - [1] - Quote I'm more inclined to agree with Kirk...... so many people will get these weapons who haven't really done anything more than no life a weekend. *"I watched you.

True Adamance Praetoriani Classiarii Templares Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 11548	Posted - 2014.07.03 20:39:00 - [2] - Quote Zelda Harkinian wrote: I don't like popularity contests, because some "popular" people have a lot of likes only by being sarcastic and rude. Why would I want to use a gun with their name on it? I think the event is fine the way it is. But if CCP wants to reward the community's most active members, then I think they should get dropsuits based on their race and class they play the most. For example: a Sgt. Kirk's Gallente Assault Suit (sorry, don't know if you actually play an Assault). It shouldn't be anything really fancy (like crazy OP slots etc). Maybe just something small, like it can run a meter faster or regenerates shields 15% quicker. But it should have a unique color scheme, and a little note on the info page about who Sgt Kirk is. Then if someone scavanges Sgt Kirk's Assault Suit they can be all like, "whoa, who's this guy? what a cool suit!" I know the feels. But someone like Tiberius who got something ridiculous like 4000 kills...... and has been using the ScR since it came out, is on the forums, and is one of the more respected PC players deserves his name on it more than a random who no lifed it and 4001 kills. *"I watched you.

I dont know about you but I think it discouraging to have officer weapon named after some no-life that abused broken mechanics to get that weapon. I'd much rather use a, "Contra's B-24/J Shotgun" over "random kid that is on summer break's shotgun" . Just saying, if this event was in someway to honor DUST veterans there is a better way. If not, then I retract what I've said No, because that turns the event into a popularity contest, rather than one of skill. No skill in no lifing in proto gear malleus. No one deserves the ScR more that Tiberius or Lea, maybe Arkena if I am feeling generous. No one deserves the Laser more that Mortedeamor or Aero No one deserves the Plasma Cannon more than Gazbaran Swarms? Pretty sure Atiim and Baal Omniscent, and ratamaq doc were wrecking with those while everyone else was using forges. Being able to commit 72 hours to an event does not and should not make you worthy of entitlement in the game because those player committed months to their weapons. *"I watched you.

True Adamance Praetoriani Classiarii Templares Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 11557	Posted - 2014.07.03 22:20:00 - [4] - Quote Zelda Harkinian wrote: The hard thing though, is we don't have a huuuuge site of statistics to see who really is the best at a certain weapon. So while I think (insert name here) is the best at using a Shotgun, I can't say with certainty that she/he really IS the best. This is true of everyone that has been mentioned of deserving a weapon named after them. That's why I think the officer weapon event is ok as it is. But there are a few names that I keep seeing pop up. I consider them legendary community figures. They've never given up on the game, and they continue to make the forums alive. I think they should be rewarded in some way too. Hence the idea to have their names on unique suits you can scavenge. Especially since some of the "greatest" players for certain weapons have already left dust. Some have but most stayed. Personally I would have liked to see CCP select 6 candidates, the open up another 6 spots for random selection. Players sign up to their weapon choices and have the opportunity to be randomly selected into a series of elimination matches to decide who the winner was. No proto stomping weekends for a month, random chance to get in for players to challenge some of the best. Etc. *"I watched you. From candle to a torch you grew.

(o_O) btw, who is Thale? What did he do that is so great? True enough. But even I'd recognise Arkena, Sgt Kirk, and several others as they "Best/Premiere/ Most dedicated Gallenteans" in the game. Thats pretty much indisputable.....when most of the community couldn't even tell me who the President of the Federation is..... *"I watched you. From candle to a torch you grew.

Being able to commit 72 hours to an event does not and should not make you worthy of entitlement in the game because those player committed months to their weapons. Not about being the best at something. You may not agree but it is the fairest way to run the contest, obviously those who win had the skill to compete even if they weren't well known forum users. The reward goes to people who clip lay the game, not to those who complain that their forum/YouTube cred should earn them a weapon. You got your playing card let others get their guns. Just another reason I'll never acknowledge player named Officer gear besides congradulating who ever wins the LR and ScR. It's just a non-tier. *"I watched you. From candle to a torch you grew.

Huzzah! \o/ You, ratamaq doc, and Senator Snipe were the only 3 AVers back pre Tankpocalypse (for both sides and the down fall of skill in tanking) that really put the fear in me. *"I watched you.

Awwwwww <3 MinivanSurvivor was my partner in those days.... we'd roam the field together in a LLAV (the not-so-OP armor one) unleashing hell on any vehicles that dared to attack our team.... We both supported either a price drop or repair/booster buffs for tanks back then. Mini left Dust after the Tankpocalypse.... it crushed his soul and he left to go play bf4 and FF14..... saddest day of my Dust career when my AV partner left..... All he ever liked to do was kill tanks.... it's all he enjoyed about battlefield.... I miss Mini.... Yeah it was a sad day for us all. I'm a considerably more experienced tanker that I was then........ only reason I tolerated this crappy tank balance was the possibility for Amarr HAV. That's not happening...... *"I watched you.
