CCP Rattati, will we see proto weapon BPOs soon or soon(TM)?
Will they follow the same LP or Aurum purchasing policy?
I really want an AScR proto BPO
My advice to you, playa...

Veterans have player skill working in their favor and months of LP/ISK saved up. Vet players are able to buy some of these dropsuits as we speak.
They already had mountains of ISK to expend on proto, and with a proto BPO they can just add to that mountain while gutting new players It's going to be hilarious... well not for new players, but for the vets it will be.
New players will either shell out $30(ish) on a proto BPO or grind for weeks (maybe months) to buy proto dropsuits that actually get destroyed when they die. Who in their right mind who choose the consumable resource over the infinite?

But the consumable proto suit will always be more powerful than these BPOs. I'm sure it will be fun to have a BPO proto suit. But a veteran player will always prefer a properly fit proto (proto weapons/modules/equipment).
These are just to give newbies and collectors something to play with. As they should be.

You can probably do it without an APEX suit

That is the most exciting thing about them making proto bpos. Killing real money suits with my fun fit. Plasma cannon and militia bolt pistol. Cost me about 4500 isk on a covenant bpo. |

So getting new players to spend real money on per-designated proto bpos is suppose to help them?
If they are that new they are not going to be able to afford to run proto when their bpos run out, not to mention they probably don't have the core skills maxed out that would help with all the passives. Be honest, CCP saw players asking for proto bpos and they saw a way to make some more money.
I have no problem with CCP making money. I have spent approx $400. |

Exactly. These new BPOs aren't P2W for 1 reason.
They con be obtained without real life money, for a decent amount of effort. 100k LP is a lot to grind, but its not impossible. 10M ISK is nothing, that can be grinded out in 1-2 days no problem if you play right. That's why they are the exception.
The bug that lets you modify them makes them the most P2W thing ever though, if only for a day.

I mean, unless they buy AURUM of course, which is obviously the true focus of this. Anyone that doesn't have the money to put down on one of those - which we don't even know the fits to, or if they're viable - will be stuck with something that would take them MONTHS to grind for.
Seriously guys, did you sit down and hash out ideas for how to be grindier than Warframe?

You guys realize these are HORRIBLE fits right? it's not the fact they can be obtained through LP that they are not pay to win. It's the fact that any newberry fresh out of academy can make a BASIC fit with advanced modules that is better. Everyone is missing the point here. These non-consumable items are a CONVENIENCE while giving new players a place to start or fall back to when they get low on isk. In all other respects, these things perform HORRIBLY. Who in there right mind would try to claim they are p2w? Starter Fits 2.0 at best. |

Kaeru Nayiri is right!
My basic scout with a proto dampner would be invisible to these suits. Shotgun to the back and run along.
Veterans can't exploit this with other protos showing up for the top spots on the leader boards.
I like how this helps the noobs. I have a BPO LAV and let me tell you I see the noobs look at it and beg me to let them drive it. I throw them the keys, laugh and call myself another. They need to give newer players discounts on things like the higher suits or the vehicles, which is what this is the start of.
Good work promoting the noob lifestyle CCP! COD AW will start eating players come Christmas! This is them pushing for a place. |

We need some counter measures to keep noobs from being able to do things players that have played since beta are able to do. Why can a player with 1 mill sp kill players with 60 mill sp so easy?

I'm sorry but this is not about helping .......it's all about CCP turning this into a pay to win game and making CCP lots of money for the PC game ........this is what we stopped in EvE and it need to be stopped here as well. this and all the trying to balance a game that cant be because you have given us to much freedom to make suits. fix this game stop giving in to the players that cant kill anything and if you want balance then do that in the matchmaker base it on KDR not SP or WP that may even out the players some

Hence my comment about giving the new blue berries a discount on them. Lure them in and let them die without learning the lessons the hard way like the veterans.
I heard someone else give a great suggestion, "Each time you kill someone who is twice your SP and you are under 10 mil SP you get double the ISK/LP or SP."
We need to think of how to help the new players get in here because I remember my first proto stomping. With the decreased player base since the Legion announcement that has gotten worse in a sense. Far less forgiving situations and more guys going 26 and 2. |

That's ok. I'm just waiting to buy this company out and liquidate all its assets when it utterly fails and has to shut down. At the rate they're going and with their record it will happen. It is only a matter of when. EVE isn't even sustainable in the long run unless CCP is willing to turn it into the equivilent of Plants vs. Zombies to keep a player base and steady revenue.

Ripping the asses off the APEX suits in my (much cheaper) Quafe suits has felt less satisfying because I haven't spent enough money on them to feel good. Clearly spending the 27 (Apex) instead of ten (quafe) means I am getting an inferior product.
I shall henceforth protest by killing every APEX suit I come across with my gaudy and shiny quafe suits until this atrocity ends.
Because reasons have been given.
And Ripped offness is there. Because proto suits with the same killing power as myself is completely unacceptable. Why, I actually SPEND 1500 ISK a pop to keep my Pink HMG sentinels spamming bullets and yet your APEX does this free? How dare they.
And God only knows that my Ishukone Assault Forge gun i mounted upon my calquafe feels less manly now that i have faced the tanks and ADS with my Shogun sentinel and it's singularly mighty State Forge Gun.
And those amarr APEX... How dare they flaunt their french tickle... I mean powerful Standard Scrambler Rifles???
Yes my friends we have achieved Pay to Win. These non-optimized dropsuits are clearly a threat to all of us, and our way of life.
Band with me and protest. We shall use harsh language until CCP apologizes for making dropsuits that offer a net gain of zero over what we have been offered before, customization be damned. Who shall join this holy QQ crusade?
Sound off!

To be quite honest, I think the game and the forums would be much better off without all the dudes that wanted things to stay the way they were. These things they are doing may not appeal to everyone, but they appeal to the majority. Those are the types of distinctions that make all the difference when you are talking about success vs. failure.
CCP is making money off of Dust. They are providing things that people want and that's a good thing.

In my opinion new players that are qsyncing in a learning corp are probably much better off than running solo in pubs. If they are qsyncing with a group of veterans they'll die less, learn more, and be able to obtain the FW items that will help them obtain better gear.
I hope Dust is never a game that all aspects of the game have to be brought down to the lowest denominator. There should be some things that take a little bit of effort.
