(and not because it may benefit me)
If this event is to honor DUST players by giving them a weapon named after them and possibly in Legion (yeah right) at least name some after the people that are actually involved in someway with the community.
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

Hey, I'd love an Imperfect HMG that completely wrecks anybody within a certain range. Or a Kain Spero's Forge Gun or a True Adamance Laser Rifle or Reg's Minmatar Assault Suit.
It would just be nice to see some DUST history in these weapons for things any ground zero player or even long term player can relate to and feel nostalgia for.

Could have named them after CPM0 members as a thanks for their service. Would have been nicer that letting them be known as the council that knew about the 2014 Dust keynote but, due to their position (NDA), couldn't warn anyone.
Sorry, saw an opening.
There is always going to be an issue when the opportunity for an individual to be recognized over their peers. It wouldn't matter if it were given to longest continual closed beta member, most popular or greatest player. If there is a chance for someone to lose, the tears will come.

I think it's good as it already is, only those who take this game seriously will "win"(don't see how no lifeing a weekend is a win but). Besides you have to take in account the forum community is extremely small and that their is other people from the other forums who want to be recognized as well, such as the Spanish, French etc.

Either way community folks come and go it would take time to figure out who is going to be around for the serious long time impact of their efforts.

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!" |

All I play is assault. Good guess.
but no, I wouldn't be for giving it to whoever has the most likes. Just some of the longstanding good individuals of this community.
but no, if Zitro was still here there's no way id want to name something after him no matter how good he was. His conduct was poor and disenchanting.

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.

Whoever wins the PLC should name it after Ghazbaran though. He was the first person to really become a pro with it and show what kinds of things are possible (popularizing it in the process), which makes it even more deserving of his name.

There are better PLC users out there than Ghaz though, do they not deserve the chance at an officer weapon simply because they don't make youtube videos, even though they are better than the "best"?

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.

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.

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.....

There should be a tourney, statistics for a month....then the top players for each weapons get invites to special matches where they run against each other but only kills with said weapons count for a specific number of matches.. even voting for the so called legends to be auto placed in the brackets would work so nobody is left out.

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.

If this event is to honor DUST players by giving them a weapon named after them and possibly in Legion (yeah right) at least name some after the people that are actually involved in someway with the community.
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. 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.

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.

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 stayed in the hopes that AV might become balanced again and I could convince him to come back, but now that the AI game is so screwed too.... I'm just going to have to wait until I can talk him into playing ps2 I guess....

Im predicting that the final names will be lame to a staggering degree:
Here are my predictions of some of the lamest names we will likely see:
- A.B.B.R.E.V.I.A.T.I.O.N.S
-Ethnic or nationalist names (Cause 3rd world countries are the ones that were able to send colonies to New Eden, right?)
-Anything satanist related. (666, hell, ect)
-Delusions of grandeur (greatest, king, ect)
-Delusions of legacy (eternal, legendary, ect)
-Delusions of Chivalry (honor, valor, knight, ect)
-Puntastic expressions only a teenager would find funny
-Extreme vanity
-Anything drug or addiction related (cause substance abuse is something to be proud of)
Frankly people just naming things in the most basic interpretation of their username would be a welcome relief compared to the stuff nolifes will come up with. Ultimately CCP has to approve all suggestions, but their track record as far as QA and vet appeasement is concerned is quite awful.
Either way, im sure a few months from now ill find a weapon in my salvage with a name so horrid, ill want to melt it into a solid block and cast it into a black hole. |
