Given some time to think it over, I think the BPO is a 1-type-fits-all Pilot suit to go with our Warbarges (in fluff, not literally).

1 Sidearm, 2 high, 2 low, 2 equipment, and no skill requirements. a fair CPU/PG allowance and some kind of vehicle bonus like a speed boost or turn speed or some vehicle bonus that fits LAV, HAV and Dropships

Whatever ccp decides to give many will complain about. Is a kinda hard choice in every way, I haven't think on any kind of good gift...

God i hope not. I'm not trained in any medium frame, don't use medium frames, don't want to, and this is a "let's kill each other a million times each day" event. Not really a newbie event, so I'd like to see a bpo more useful to the vets

I've got another good question:

If a redberry kills a blueberry, but it can be revived, and I throw a grenade to terminate the blueberry, does it still count as a valid clone termination?

What if you kill a clone and then shoot him to destroy him, while he is on the ground (already dead)? Does that count for one?

I know this might be a stuipid question and laughed at, but are factional contracts/warfare counted into this or not? From the wording it seemed as if only public contracts aka skirm/dom assault were to be counted at all and those who like playing factional at times will not be counted for wins or death count.

The reason I ask if factional would be included is because it was mentioned about friendly fire which can only happen (usually) in factional or PC, a clarifcation might be nice.

LOL, its been 2 months since i played this game, and looks like its a good time to come back to Dust.
But a quick question, (Are CCP still Money WHORES???)

Damn dude you really got us

Omgomgomgomgomg how did I not see this till just now?!?! Yes please with a green explosion!!!

What is ALT?

I think they update 24h. Btw we're at about 2.5 mil
Dust 514 twitter page

I would rather get 5 mil sp

People who dont have the skills to use the skillpoints apparently

I didn't take part to any previous challenge since I'm a new player. SP is the key to progress, not warbarge components and decryptor keys. Exept the BPO, wich I'm not even sure to use, none of those rewards are worth 5mil clones. All we want is SP.

It's not just that, we have personal accounts as well, so you can never know when you're playing with a CCP employee. I have 2 active player accounts and the CCP Archduke account for example.

So far I only have the 3 wins on CCP Archduke and my main personal character, and was getting a bit sad that work wouldn't really allow me to get the 3 wins with the rest /that's another 4 characters/.

We are not permitted to use the "like" system on posts, but we can just pop in and say we agree or something like that.

As for the BPO - I could probably have that on my CCP account without actually participating, but not on my player accounts. Those are just like any other player account, and we cannot and do not edit them. At least if we want to keep our jobs

Glad you extended it - five million is a lot; we only made like two thirds of that last time, didn't we? and we knew what the rewards were in advance, too.

Oh come now - it takes two to tango these days. Any player screaming "SAVE ME SAVE ME" is probably a KDR-padding proto-wearing ninnie. Whatevs. They ain't having fun if KDR is what drives them. I know I am. I win coz I fun.

Some feedback for this event...

Three things went wrong with this event; requirements for the rewards, matchmaking and the rewards themselves. These three combined made this event terrible in my eyes and ultimately caused me to give up on it. I havenGÇÖt played since Friday and will not log in for the extended time either.

Requirements for the rewards

The aim of the event is to destroy clones but you make it so that we must win matches first before concentrating on the event itself. Especially for small squads and soloers it is easy to go a whole evening without a win. I know as I have witnessed it time and time again. I am constantly put up against full squads and trying to win matches when you absolutely have to is like pulling teeth. Last time the requirements for the rewards was to complete 10 matches, this was much better. When the requirement for obtaining the rewards is not something you have to worry about, people are more relaxed. People are happier to throw themselves at the enemy when they donGÇÖt have to worry about qualifying for the rewards. If you think 10 matches is too easy then make it 20 but donGÇÖt make it mandatory to win. If we need clones destroyed, why emphasize winning?

Matchmaking

As we know, we donGÇÖt have one. Team balancer might work as intended but in the end, it is not enough. Coupled with an absolute necessity to win matches, this event became a chore with the lopsided matches we have suffered with for so long. I donGÇÖt think IGÇÖve ever seen as many people leave matches in the beginning as I did during this event. I donGÇÖt blame them though, I started doing the same. After spawning in, check teams, if it looks like weGÇÖre going to lose, leave battle and queue for the next one. I hope the next time we have an event like this we have that MLT only queue. This is not CCPGÇÖs fault, but I got absolutely fed up with 6-man proto death squads mowing people down and then using needles when they happened to die. It was infuriating.

Rewards themselves

BPOGÇÖs are nice, I love them and happily take more of them but not knowing what BPO it actually is, itGÇÖs not motivating. ItGÇÖs actually the opposite. If you want me to get my teeth kicked in for 5 days straight at least tell me what for. I am not going to dedicate my time to grind endlessly for a chance to get a lackluster BPO. On top of an unknown BPO, 1000 Warbarge components is an absolute joke. Why so little? That is not enough to do anything with after you have upgraded your WB once. And then the keysGǪ I have over 1500 boxes, probably a lot more, so 20 keys is hardly worth it. DonGÇÖt get me wrong, I like keys as a reward but again, why so little? I will never run out boxes so donGÇÖt worry about that. And you may say we have had enough SP rewards in the past but so what? SP rewards for events like this make sense and SP is valuable commodity in DUST. Most people have their own goals with their SP and reaching that goal faster motivates you to participate to the bitter end.

Well, thatGÇÖs my opinion on this event; I hope the next one is better. Happy hunting.

Yes somehow its gone wrong, unbalanced matches + Train Map on hard rotation.

@ CCP Frame . Next time if possible take in consideration the timing of the event . people work , have children and some actually have lives monday-friday lol as hard as that may be for you guys to believe , its true . but great work on the time extention . i actually may pull out all the stops to kill over a 1000 in a day... 07 fun game fun times keep it real

Experimental Weapons Lab should give out BPO standards also

As of 1 hour ago, the twitter updates say we're at 4,200,000+ biomassed with 24 hours to go. Shouldn't that be 48 hours?



How is it we can manage 1 million clones on a Monday but only 700,000 over a weekend?

Wait, i'll get the tinfoil.

something foul is afoot...

You wanna know what would be cool:
If we could pick a BPO after this event.

I'm coming Kaalkiota

They gave out a hint as to what the BPO might be. So people were more incentivized to play.

The maps sometimes seem to come up in a row (just a different skin), but I too have gotten more than just the train map (had to think about what map had anything train-like first).

I must admit, the train map is great for mass driver users when A is the only objective.

Roughly 400k in clones destroyed since the post DT update 17 hours ago. 470k based on last update 3 hours ago.

DT is 6 hours from now....

Well, if we keep up the same pace between DT and the last update, we should have this in the bag.
Having my son log in now and play his character's Apex suit with many and frequent horrible clone losses authorized.

I need to pay better attention to who nova knifes me... I am wondering if that was you back stabbing me while trying to hack A a few times.
