Broonfondle Majikthies Dogs of War Gaming 1294	Posted - 2014.08.20 17:56:00 - [61] - Quote ISK farming? Why not just play the game. I have over 200 mil all through normal gameplay. Its not that hard. Just play the role. Your a mercenary. Think like one. "The air smells damp and oppressive, like a wet nun" "Why am I talking to a lightbulb? Illuminate me"

Fox Gaden Immortal Guides 4071	Posted - 2014.08.20 18:31:00 - [63] - Quote GM Archduke wrote: Ahoy! Please be aware that recycling characters to generate ISK is not something we can condone, and players should not abuse this mechanic or encourage others to do so. Please be advised that abuse of this system may lead to punitive action against those involved. Play nice and fair - recycle cans, not DUST Mercenaries! And that is why I have resisted the temptation to use this exploit even when I ran very low on ISK. Instead I put together a fit that cost less than 7000 ISK which still allowed me to play my role effectively within a match. Not only does this allow me to build up ISK fairly quickly, but it also forces me to play better, so that when I switch to a more expensive fit I am much better than I would be without practicing in the cheap fit. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.

Two reasons, 1) forcing yourself to play in mil gear makes you a better player overall, 2) you can try out crazy fits for the lulz, and you might stumble upon something that works really well. Get yourself some under 10K ISK suits, and run bush for a few hours. I agree but if anyone bought any of the merc packs they should have some standard bpo stuff that can be used a little better then starter fits. Also add the militia bpo mods and you got a few decent free suits that can do good in pub matches

Then why don't you instead of wasting time on tracking things: 1. Remove 250k ISK from starter characters, 2. Lower prices of all low grade skill books, so that new player will simply do not need that kind of cash at the beginning. All skill-book that are first in tree line cost 40k ISK, except corporation with is half of it - I would lower their price by 10x or even reward players that fight on Academy with free skill-books in form of salvage. 3. Give more Militia items to new players, so they have more variation in they first fittings, and they will not have to spend ISK on it. 4.

GM Archduke Game Masters C C P Alliance 290	Posted - 2014.08.20 21:15:00 - [70] - Quote Cheap AV is a great way to earn a lot of ISK, or - God forbid - teamwork. Try to find some players who you can squad up with on a regular base, choose and rotate roles like AV/logi/assault. Stick to low-cost items that still receive a Skill-bonus. Steal ISK from rival Corporations. Use comms to coordinate attacking and defending objectives.

CELESTA AUNGM Kang Lo Directorate Gallente Federation 220	Posted - 2014.08.20 21:53:00 - [72] - Quote I spot-landed here, not planning to dare post anything in a thread that I THOUGHT would be populated with some of those crafty, hack-pirate, AFKers that are the curse and scourge of every console gamers'gamer's life (those DEVILS, those CREATURES, those CRIMINALS!!)..... But instead, the Dust "farmers" aren't very clever at all, I gusess... What the smart few posts in this thread are advising is correct: It's easier to earn more ISK--per time and effort expended-- JUST PICKING AN AFFORDABLE SUIT AND PLAYING THE GAME normally, than it is to go through ALL THAT GOOFY BUILDING AND UNBUILDING (the 24 hour lag to confirm you want to terminate your alt -OR- the boredom of having to give the PS3 buttons an epileptic twitch every 4 minutes while you're squatting in an MCC -OR- the Corporation grifter fleecing scam -OR- ...LOL!!!). In one evening's session of Skirmish matches (arguably the stingiest of all the match types, when it comes to the default payout, but I could be wrong), 360,000 ISK is given to you (GIVEN!) every hour just for knowing how to breath in a dropsuit and walk around studying how turret installations truly work, or swapping weapon types at the supply depot so you can see how EVERY weapon in Dust looks like through the aiming sight. EVEN THAT is more fun, less dropsuit loss, less time chatting up a corp, less chasing your tail in an MCC, less logging onto and (yawn) typing out wallet transfers and terminating alt characters every 24 hours,... and at least you'd STILL LEARN SOMETHING NEW ABOUT YOUR WEAPONS in the process. You're cracking me up with this thread, and it's a nice way to end my day here at my part of the world. At least you changed my perspective on AFKers. You're not villains at all. You're just silly ole' softies. Universe of good wishes for the 49, especially CCP Eterne... No story can have life without writers and publishers.

I got a 'Sever' logi suit that costs 600 ISK, and a 'Dragonfly' that costs about 7000 ISK, (mostly cause of the complex damp, though). BPOs are a great way to make ISK, but the new players don't have access to those anymore, unfortunately, so that's why I recommended mil fits. Standard is better for suits in a lot of circumstances (like heavy for instance) due to eHP differences between the same Standard/Militia suit. And: bring back BPOs, CCP!

Long time no post, I have been avoiding the filth. Here is some food for thought. #popcorn Ever since my local host/server node what ever it's called, being in Australia, OCEANIC is no longer aviable. Everyone in th DUST universe knew it was being used as a holy grail of AFK isk farming. Regardless of CCP Archduke comment re: we frown upon this... Just to let you know, they CCP, have never attempted to rectify this over the last year, kinda on par with lolPC locking. Further more feel free to kilboost as nothing has ever resulted in action being taken, heck a now junked CPM candidate was under investigation durning the CPM campaign. Now OCEANIC is closed. Now my automatic setting sends me to Tokyo / Beiching every single match, and guess what, squads yes squads of AFK isk farming is on my automatic, which is by no means local. My thoughts? Thanks CCP, you've done it again. Pain is just weakness leaving your body. Every day is a holiday. Every meal is a feast.

I'm just here to help. for the NPE i think bringing the standard preset options for new players to choose from which gave a bunch of starter skills was the best option. that way it removes the need for isk, gives newberries a good start as they already have their racial rifle to lv1 and medium or light frame lv1 and then they have to play matches for the rest of the isk. starter skills could include Assault, Sniper, Logi and Scout and av assault - Med frame lv1, racial rifle lv1 and grenade lv1. logi - med frame lv1, racial sidearm lv1, racial equipment lv1 sniper - med frame lv1, sniper rifle lv1, sidearm lv1 scout - racial light frame lv1, racial rifle lv1/shotgun lv1 AV - medium frame lv1, grenades lv1, swarms lv1 it may not sound much SP but you'd be amazed how long it can take to unlock those skills as a new player, also for the first 14 or 30days give newplayers double passive and active sp gain, not boosters, just built into the game for anyone younger than 15/31 days ect liek they do new EVE players Rolling with the punches

Res people but don't run out into the open alone and get rail rifled. Rep anyone and everyone, especially this guys that keep sticking their neck around the corner trying to win rail rifle duels. Keep your head on a swivel looking for cloaky scouts and flankers. When it's time to run, run. Don't die. If you need to bail, run to your link(s) if you can. Wait for people to spawn in their and help protect that spot so that more can spawn in on your links.

You can have 16 Playstation accounts on a PS3 at one time. Make 16 accounts 1 (or twice everyday if you enjoy the torture) every day, make 3 toons on 15 accounts, 2 on your main account. Send ISK to designated toon (I had 1 toon on a farm account that I would send all my ISK to, then send all the ISK from that toon to my main in 1 chunk. Was an attempt to stay stealthy, not sure how effective it really was stealth wise). Biomass toons as you send the ISK Repeat the next day Around 11.5 mil ISK profit per day, around an hour and a half of work. Back when I was doing it, I had raged out on the forums and told CCP and everyone exactly what I was doing. I did not get banned, and this was before FF14. CCP needs all the players it can get here. kisses

But this is also why that's a bannable offense, it breaks the economy pretty hard core. It also leaves a pretty obvious paper trail (Since CCP would see all the isk transfers to your main) if you haven't been banned for this you likely will be. So don't do this is what I guess I'm saying. I just wanted to explain why it wasn't "just farting out concepts" it is the fastest way to make money if you don't own half of PC. It used to be worse where they started with 500k isk per character.
