Some new feedback from me regarding Daily Missions and Strongboxes.

Daily Missions

I don't think it's a good idea to have Daily Missions include tasks involving AUR spending. For example I saw a Daily Mission that would reward me with a new Passive or Active Booster if I used the EOM Instant Boost feature 3 or 4 times. That's not exactly the kind of thing I wanted to see in Dust. CCP, it kind of feels like your pressuring us to spend AUR since the only way to get the reward is to actually spend money. I know there is a way to get a booster for free as part of completing all 10 Daily Missions, but that is not very common to see from what I can tell. Of course, it's only been 3 days since Daily Missions were introduced so I'll wait another week or two to see how common the free ones are compared to the AUR equivalent missions. Overall, the Daily Missions could do without the constant AUR reminders.

Strongboxes and Keys

During these past 3 days of running Skirmish, Ambush, and Domination, I have acquired over 30 units of these Strongboxes. But so far I have not managed to salvage a single Hacked Encryption Key. I know you can get it as part of a Daily Mission and as salvage from a match, but those seem so rare that I think I will find Jesus on a piece of toast by the time I get a Hacked Encryption Key. In the meantime, I'm seeing the market constantly telling me that I can buy 10 of these keys with AUR in a bundle and I find that annoying. This is making me feel as if I am being pressured into spending AUR even more. CCP, those advertisements need to be toned down at the very least. I'm also not in the mood to spend anymore AUR re-rolling leftover Daily Missions just to get a mission that might reward me with a key.

Yes, the lag/FPS is still bad once it starts kicking in. I theorize maybe it has to do with w/e VoIP setup is used for chats, could that be the issue? Yes, the daily missions are nice on that they add rewards, silly in that they really don't add a whole lot in additional gameplay content and outright disingenuous in trying to stimulate AUR sales. Yes, the same disingeniuity seems to have driven strongbox design. Yes, the Cocentric Circles thing seems to be working pretty well. I don't know that it warrants the Range Amp nerf but, tbh, I'd prefer to playtest more before finalizing a verdict. Yes, I Thank You, Rattati and Team, for continuing to at least try. o7 Open-Beta Vet. Drunk Night Tree Burner. This is my Main and Original. DUST514 is WARFARE, not WAR-FAIR.
