During the March 4 11:00 UTC - March 9 11:00 UTC period, should the total number of clones destroyed in New Eden reach 5.000.000, every player that won at least three battles during the event period, shall receive the following items on March 10, 11:00 UTC:
x1 Event-exclusive BPO (non-consumable) item - revealed on 10th of March, 11:00 UTC via Dev blog and in-game
x1000 Warbarge Components
x20 Decryptor Keys
Make sure to follow @DUST514 where we will be tweeting your progress toward achieving this goal!
A few notes and conditions:
- Only clones actually destroyed are counted in public contracts, and not deaths. This means that if you kill someone that is revived, and then kill them again, this only counts as one destroyed clone, not two.
- Clones killed by friendly fire are not counted towards the total. Shooting your friends in the back is junk data.
- Active characters for this event are defined as any character that plays and wins at least 3 matches during the event period.
Good luck and have fun, mercs!

Hmm, 5 days to kill 5 million clones. 
Let's hope we don't get any connection problems like last time. 
I was hoping for a new event to come soon, thanks CCP.

Hmmm, I think the event won't be sucessful, rewards aren't worth it.
1. An unrevealed BPO, could be crap or something that I already have (with a different skin).
2. No SP rewards?
3. 1000 warbarge components & 20 Keys for 5 million clones, are you joking?
Verdict: Not motivated to kill 5 million clones for unworthy rewards, throw in 5 million SP as well and then we're talking.

You acquired more than enough SP via those previous challenges. Now it is time to put those skill points to the test and show us what you got!
Oh, and before anyone asks - no, the BPO is one of a kind that was exclusively made for this event and this event only.

Interesting.
See, maybe I'm just having delusions of grandeur but I see this as something completely different.
1) Clones must be destroyed, not killed.
Does this also mean that we may see additional warpoint rewards in the future for destroying clones instead of just incapacitating them? I'd love that. A sort of 'Confirmed Kill' bonus.
2) Event exclusive BPO
Even more interesting considering that there is a strong drive to roll out SKIN modules in the future. I assume that this will also be tied into the unanswered question as to what will happen to BPOs in the eventuality that SKIN modules are released. Further more... an event exclusive BPO would have to be broad-spectrum and apply to everyone. Releasing yet another Caldari Assault doesn't apply to the majority of players. So my theory is.....
3) 1000 Warbarge components
.... that it's a Warbarge skin.
4) Also, props to not including -more- SP rewards when we don't even have enough skills in game to make skill points meaningful for anything other than cross specialization at this point.
Have a suggestion for the Planetary Services Department?

Nice little event here with a unique BPO rather than SP gains which is soooo 5 minutes ago.
Frame asked us if 5 million was too much and the CPM were more than confident that the community could pull it off no problem.

I guess reading part where it says EXCLUSIVE doesn't mean anything to you. Congrats, you won it already, no need to do the event at all!
Thanks, CCP. Looking good. I like the idea of unique BPOs for the event, even if it is something simple.

Not sure if it'll be that easy to reach those 5 millions.. The rewards aren't that interesting (1000 component & 20 keys, nice, but not worth 5 millions kills).
SP are always good to take, they grant access to more diversity in gameplay which is needed! Why not adding a little million? THAT would be motivating!
Rise? That's what they used to call me. Sequal Rise. That was my name.
Now I come Back to you, at the turn of the tide.

Now that you mention it, this does off-handedly further insinuate less Logistics action. Maybe we need an event called The Million Lazarus challenge where we get a bunch of ISK from corporations for saving them 15% or more on clone insurance.

Five million would be nothing for SP rewards but without revealing the BPO (which I still strongly suspect is a Warbarge BPO which will likely aggravate a lot of players expecting something they can physically use) likely not going to see as much participation.
Although, the question shouldn't be "Can the community kill 5,000,000 clones?", it should be, "What do we give them if they don't?"

What do you exactly mean with a war barge BPO? Would that not be named a skin or something. I always saw a BPO as an asset in battle you could not lose. A war barge has no presence in battle so i donGÇÖt think an appearance change in the sprite would be called a BPO. This might get a bit linguistical but hey..
I rather think i will be something everybody can use like an APEX type thing or a LAV.

Implying we need rewards to kill clones.
Implying we need you to kill 5 mil by yourself.
Implying this wont be the same as the other events.
Implying CCP wont give out bonuses regardless of actual clones killed. It not like if we hit 4.5 million CCP would say, those thing we promised we wont give them to you anymore.
People log in, play the same as always.Its 3 wins in 5 days for heaven's sake. CCP tweeets a number higher that the stated goal, "congrats guys, you killed 7 million clones, here3s your new BPO!!!" #DUST514 #5MILLIONCLONES# CCP #NODUSTFANFEST
Just enjoy speculating on what the BPO could be, how far is CCP willing to troll us, and get your hopes up for 20 keys for no good reason. Have fun, stop raining on the parade.

Kinda disappointed :(
Kept hoping for a mil(or 2) clone challenge, so i could get the sp for my pro logi
Only the bpo might be good.
1000x wbc is crap, bump it to 5/10k
20keys mightt be a bit less(better than wbc tho) 25 ok
No sp reward disappoints me the most, that one time while i stacked 2 omegas and 1 active, game felt truly ez mode(50k 1 bush/2.6 mil cap), all from missions. Hoping to burn my omegas again. |

Yes, i know, a dropship is not that expensive. But you can see that giving everybody an unlimited amount of them would be a bit weird right?
I mean, gameplay wise? The whole idea of group transport would go out the window if everybody could call in a dropship at a whim for an unlimited nr of times. But maybe iGÇÖm just being a partypooper, and war thunder/dogfighting 514 would be awesome and PLC duck hunting dropships is a mini game in itself so why not...

How about if we hit 5 million, we actually get a DUST keynote at FanFest?
Hell, I think if you had an "Aurum challenge" people would splurge on Aurum if the outcome was having Rouge emerge from whatever cave he has been hiding in for 10 months.
Dunno if we will make 5 million. Interest in the game has seemed to waned in the last several months.

Having participated in the 1 million clone challenge, we got to 2 million easily but that was a different time: the days before the TTK initiative.
An un-named BPO that is revealed the day after the event ends and made specifically for this event and this event only. I'm not familiar with the daily clone count but that's a lot of faith to put into the player base.
1000 Warbarge components is a nice addition, but it's a small gain when it costs 2500+ for upgrades to the warbarge.
20 keys: nice touch, but not going to put a very big dent in everyone's salvage pile
As mentioned by others, will a "confirmed kill" warpoint bonus be implimented? It's nice to see 15 kills on your score, but what if 10 were revived? Seems more like stuns, or wounds more than kills.
Proposal: adjust kills to be 45 points with an additional 5 points given when the clone is confirmed dead either by bleedout, explosive, headshot, or chosen respawn. Call it "Kill confirmed" and we're all set. Alternately, make it like a warpoint bonus like the objective defense: give 5 points when the clone finally finishes.
Just my 2 isk on the matter. I've been around for 2 years and I don't plan to quit now

Last time we had an event with an 'exclusive item', it was a Kin Cat with a boost to Melee...
I'd rather know what I'm winning before participating.

Would that not be named a skin or something. I always saw a BPO as an asset in battle you could not lose. A war barge has no presence in battle so i donGÇÖt think an appearance change in the sprite would be called a BPO. This might get a bit linguistical but hey.. I rather think i will be something everybody can use like an APEX type thing or a LAV.
That's just the thing though, a BPO isn't something everyone can use. Sure, an LAV might arguably be something nice for everyone to have but we've got plenty of the damn things already. APEX suits, Dropsuit BPOs, and Weapon BPOs don't apply to a majority, let alone everyone, so you have to think:
What single item could be good enough to warrant an event this size as well as apply to most amount of players without having to invest a bunch of SP?
And the only thing I can think of is the one item that doesn't require any SP at all that everyone already has.

I would like to make a recommendation to how you should do these types of events. I am not sure how hard 5 million will be but what if we end up with 3 million, 4 million? or some other close amount. Instead of saying it is all or nothing, take what you are thinking and tier with increasing rewards to keep people going for more. At each milestone, give players something at the end of the event based on which tier the player based reached.
Example. Reward tiers:
- Kill 1 Million Clones: x250 Warbarge Components
- Kill 2 Million Clones: x10 Decryptor Keys
- Kill 3 Million Clones: x250 Warbarge Components
- Kill 4 Million Clones: x500 Warbarge Components + x10 Decryptor Keys
- Kill 5 Million Clones: x1 Event BPO
- Each Additional 500k kills: x100 Warbarge Components + x5 Decryptor Keys
This gives a feeling of reward at each progress level and there would far less disappointment if an event would ever fail.

Regardless of more Caldari items the Warbarge and the keys especially is what's exciting me.

I started playing just a few days ago and missed out on the easy sp. Where's my sp? because I'm gonna be 10.000 of the 5 million clones destroyed. because this game is terrible until youve played for a month or spent $20. |

2. No SP rewards?
3. 1000 warbarge components & 20 Keys for 5 million clones, are you joking?
Verdict: Not motivated to kill 5 million clones for unworthy rewards, throw in 5 million SP as well and then we're talking.
See, this is what I'm thinking.
Five times more clones that have to be destroyed for a pittance in terms of rewards.

5-10 minutes a piece with 5 days and multiple matches. Unless I did my math wrong (Highly likely at the moment) that's 90.5 games a day if it was 1 game running at a time. We hit 2 million in 2 days way back.

Would prefer some SP over the warbage components, perhaps a million SP.
Keys and components don't justify the effort, and the BPO is a mystery that might be useless to many not interested in he item type. In light of this, I think some SP is needed as a motivator.

CCP takes efforts to make sure things run smoothly. It's a free game and if we need a 4 hour downtime to fix bugs and add things, so be it. They extend events if there are issues, and they do their best. Have patience and suit up: 17,000-34,000 players have been on at the same time, that's 30-50 deaths each for the goal. Since K/D is over-rated, I have no problems getting 200 deaths for the community.
Just watch: 1-2 problems will arise, but the event will succeed one way or another

FYI, the 17,000-34,000 is incorrect, that number includes eve pilots. CCP made that change a while back from displaying online dust players to all players on the server. I believe the assumption was that it was looking bad with only 2-3k players online during peak hours, so the past dev team changed it. If you want more details on how many players are getting on at once, I suggest looking here http://eve-offline.net/?server=dust

My mistake, I forgot they implemented that. 2500 death per player on average with 2000 players online. The CPM has faith, and CCP may need to sweeten the deal to pull in the desired results. I won't be surprised if "Unexpected additional rewards" show up.

Ok, all the people complaining about the event BPO, you must be awesome people! 
Haters at Christmas:
Normal Person: "I wonder what I will get for Christmas presents?"
The haters on the forums: "Probably something in the wrong color so I will have to return it. Plus I have to buy something for the person who gave the gift. ... Get out of my house and take your stupid presents with you! I hate you all!"
Normal Person: ( Shakes head) "WTF, Someone is a future cereal killer."
Please be aware that some of you haters really need to re-examine your life choices.
CCP - You need to make a really fun event to show you have a great twisted sense of humor. Put a bounty on all the forum haters and anyone else you deem in need of some justice. List them on a page and whenever we axe their clones it counts towards a massive kill board which has a reward if we hit a certain number.
Plus triple chevron them on the mini map. Then you have a fun bounty system!
Maybe one day we would be able to do this in our corps so we can mark people the corp wants dead and grant our own rewards. But CCP does it first.

For those who complain about 1000 components not being enough then I can tell CCP to make it 500 components.
Its better to get 1000 than 500.
Plus those 20 keys = :D
Again it may not be a lot but its better than getting nothing.
I wonder what the BPO will be ?
Will it be a skin, a vehicle, or some weapon.

Interesting...
Last Challenge ended at 2,403,250 kills during a time frame of 3 days, which is 801,000 kills a day.
This challenge demands 5,000,000 kills with a time frame of 5 days, or 1,000,000 kills a day.
Our population averages for the servers are also comparable with that time frame.

EPIC this will be E-P-I-C. tons of fun and then some.
That being said, those jump height myofibril BPO mods are definitely a worthy reward. Finally my fatty will hop skip and jump over those annoying inch high ledges. Hopefully no staking penalties apply. Another decent Biotic on my sentinel = HAPPINESS |

Exactly my Point as well, this won't encourage me to kill clones and waste suits, the Rewards given are acquirable through use of AUR, & a BPO?
There's loads of them on the market, what makes this one any different? & yet people would waste their 5 days trying to kill 5 Million Clones just to get these pointless rewards that CCP might as well just said
"Hey, Good Job with the last 2 Million Challenges, here's another one but try and kill 5 Million Clones to gain these pointless Rewards that you probably could just buy straight out of the market & run out as soon you get them"
During this event i'll just be playing casually not bothering because how pointless the rewards are & i really doubt 5 Million would succeed because of the lack of useful Rewards like SP, which is more rewarding & if SP was a reward it'll definitely encourage me and many others but thats the case now.
Good Luck trying to complete the challenge, which i doubt would happen anyway... |

Give me a damned Faction BPO. Make a model for this one suit alone, and make it blend in with most of these dreary environments.
Lastly, can we get the Caldari off of the posters? We've had our time in the spotlight, send in the Gallente scout, or the Minmatar logi, maybe the Amarr heavy.
Anyhow, that got off subject.

BPO is cool. Of course a general BPO will hardly satisfy the masses. Thus, a second prize of SP is appropriate to dampen the disappointment.
Dont get me wrong, I love collecting crap - no gallente, seriously hate that race (sorry, story driven) - I collect Amarr heavies, cal assaults, a few scouts, a crap ton of logis... only 1 gallente to experience the whole class, etc.

Aeon Amadi wrote:Interesting.
See, maybe I'm just having delusions of grandeur but I see this as something completely different.
1) Clones must be destroyed, not killed.
Does this also mean that we may see additional warpoint rewards in the future for destroying clones instead of just incapacitating them? I'd love that. A sort of 'Confirmed Kill' bonus.
2) Event exclusive BPO
Even more interesting considering that there is a strong drive to roll out SKIN modules in the future. I assume that this will also be tied into the unanswered question as to what will happen to BPOs in the eventuality that SKIN modules are released. Further more... an event exclusive BPO would have to be broad-spectrum and apply to everyone. Releasing yet another Caldari Assault doesn't apply to the majority of players. So my theory is.....
3) 1000 Warbarge components
.... that it's a Warbarge skin.
4) Also, props to not including -more- SP rewards when we don't even have enough skills in game to make skill points meaningful for anything other than cross specialization at this point.
I'm cool with that... As long as its a minmatar warbarge skin. I'm still waiting for the minmatar MCC. It looks sick!!

Give it your all bruh. The rewards are even enticing to the vets, as officer tier items or more BPOs can come from the 20 keys, and a one-time-only BPO will be sought after by future newbros once trading items is added to the game. Also, the million clone challenge events and expert challenge events are the two best types of events we have recently

A lot of them have already come back since destiny wasnt as advertised. Some came back saying "we never knew how good we had it in Dust until Destiny came out" and dust is only getting better. We can do this, with or without the destiny stragglers

Pretty sure it'll be a modified medium frame. Perhaps it'll have a ton of slots (for a STD suit) but base stats below other suits - to encourage customization and dabbling in different roles. It'll most likely require no skills - it's meant to help new players branch out as they gain SP with it, while vets may fall back on it if trying out creative builds or cheapfits.

No, I honestly they wouldn't do that unless they were going to make it an actual class. I am honestly hoping for some Faction Minmatar Assault.

I am honestly hoping for some Faction Minmatar Assault. 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... I'll take what I can get, in a couple years when I'm playing Legion (hopefully) I can show off my suit and say, "Back in my day....."
Blaziken, did you just utter the name which must not be spoken? Didn't anyone ever tell you pve is the thing all the kids are raving about these days? Let's not get everybody started again on the L-word. The dust fanbase still has PTSD from the last time.
Also I'd be cool with a pilot suit. Give me something to rock when MTACs happen. They're coming...Soon(tm)

Exactly like the instructions say. Win 3 battles. If it's different, well, it's different.

Works in pubs. Tested. Verified.
good question. Id say it counts since an enemy got the kill and the clone was destroyed.

If they're on the ground and the clone isn'tdisintegrating, they aren't dead. The life support systems can keep themalive for about half a minute, it just reports incorrectly as a death bc leaderboard stats are wtflolbbq and kdr is a joke. To actually kill them(terminate the clone) you gotta keep shooting the suit till they're actually dead. Or throw a flux grenade. Little known fact: if you throw a flux grenade at a drop suit that's diverting all power to life support systems, the drop suit computer will crash and they'll die choking on toxic gas. Think about that next time you flux a body, you sick twisted puppy

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. |

Probably this ^
Previous million clone challenges have been pubs only, and ambush is our bread and butter for churning out clones, so get ready to jump into the meat grinder.

Wow nice troll. I like how offering the players things they can spend money on to customize appearance or try out new gear more quickly on a FREE game that costs millions to develop by tuis point is being money whores...
Glad you're not coming back, mooch.
The hard working devs here don't need more people taking something for nothing and then bitching that their free game has too many ways for ppl that actually give a **** can pay them for their hard work.
As one of the many software developers struggling to find work in today's over saturated market, I have a secret to share with you.
You're wasting perfectly good oxygen and food that useful people would be better off having. You should find a deep hole to vanish into

I appreciate this event.
I am a recent player, so i need SP.
So I propose to put a secondary objective: if the community reach to destroy 6 million clones, CPP could offer a bonus of 5 million sp.
Yes, i will be a important target in the jorney to reach the 5 million clones!!!

Buddy you just got your first like.
+1 for the new player all up on the forum and contributing.
Hope you stick around and have a good time.
The first several million SP is tough, but level based matchmaking is coming soon and newbros like you will be an integral part in ensuring the future success of this game.
Enjoy the event, well be gunning for ya!

And they leave a green residue everywhere kind of like "Slurm" from Futurama. And any player damaged with them would be covered in it too, and then everyone could look like they have the rattati suit......and then Dust would crash and burn into a pile of smoldering warbarge components and shredded pieces of dropship.

Or they could just give the new players 1-5mil sp and not waste our time with some stupid keys that we'll get 20 pieces of crap we aren't skilled into from. The bpo probably wont be worth paying 1aur for anyway.

An ALT stands for "alternate character", having up to three characters with one being your main, and two others as alts.

what a whack @ss event, was this another cpm idea? Sp is the most valuable content in this game, and the only thing that actually helps new people out. not 20 keys where 90% of the boxes are weak @ass advanced suits and garbage modules, not 1000 warbarge components when it still will take 3 to 6 months to max out to level 5 without aurum. Ooh a secret BPO? let me guess are you going to introduce something that marginalizes all the bpos your original player base bought last year? are you going to give us a new cool skin dude? you are asking the player base to do more for less. i am personally putting uplinks up high, running proto, using needles, logi'ing non stop, and all the other crap you've seen people complaining about in GD. |

This is actualy true. Why give someone something he won't use or he can't use? All the chests I opened gave me heavy and highly expensive weapon I'm not even planning to use, or weapons I don't have enough skill to use. I just sell them. Why don't chests contain SP, and ISK, or boosters? Or even things that don't require any skill but are still good quality.Those are useful. By the way, since we're talking about rewards daily missions need to be rethinked. Cover 2000m on the battlefield. To me, this is not a mission. It is simply something we do in every battles. Also, weekly challenges would be nice too.
Always report to tomorrow what you can do today, because you might not have to do it anymore tomorrow.

Maybe it`s time you take our suggestions to heart, put our suggestions to the test and show us what YOU got! Newer players are struggling to keep up and get ahead. It`s a long uphill climb to level up and make decent fits, and I know a full 2/3 of newer players give up, the odds are stacked against them. They could use the SP, I would think. Or do you care that new blood turns away from Dust in disgust and frustration before they can get into it? By the way, it`s pretty damned cocky for you say we got more than enough SP from the previous Clone Events, don`t you think? How are you qualified to decide?

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.
Take these deaths as a lesson.

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.
Can I haz your SP CCP?

I agree with this, mostly. While SP is nice, it's easy enough to get to ADV level skills in a short time, and the experience gained from earning the rest of the SP is crucial to how you play once you unlock proto gear, should they choose to use it.
I think the BPO as the main reward is great, as long as it's not something useless to 90% of the players (iirc, it's supposed to be useful to most, so that shouldn't be the case).
The WB components and Keys are just icing on the cake.
In the long run, i'd choose the BPO over 5m SP, every time.

Um.
While FW matches don't count towards the clone total, would three wins make you eligible for the rewards?
... I've been playing too much FW and not enough pubs. Although we might not make 5 mil anyway.

And why have all the big corps been queue-syncing FW matches FOR THE WHOLE DAY I was playing if we needed to reach 5m clones through public contracts!?

I noticed a Dust 514ish gun in the background there, any chance you could mass produce those for selling? It would raise a substantial amount of money, plus it would also put the name of Dust 514 out there.

I strongly suspect this kind of behavior - especially after issues with it in EVE years ago (BOB...) would not be condoned or encouraged. That said... it would not be nice if they did without going through the hoops we go through. ;)
edit: so the prospect of that suit... An Amarr or Gallente based suit would be a nice change from Caldari and nice looking than Minmatar. |

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.

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?

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.

I dunno I've had a blast this event. Running around like a nutter dying and killing. The odd protostomp or two. But I just played the game too - I play DUST. So this event is like, hey go play DUST like you do but maybe you could have some fun running without HP mods and change it up a little.
Sure there's been the proto stomping KDR-padders with their dirty needles but screw them, I've not seen enough of them to spoil my fun - maybe I'm lucky on that count.
As for 20 wrongbox keys for free - don't look a gift horse in the mouth. As for SP rewards - yeah I'd like some too but not that fussed that there ain't none because SP is being thrown around these days much more in terms of daily missions etc.
You just gotta have fun with it, it has not felt like a grind to me at all.

Well after 5 days of ISK burning and watching blues leave, where do we stand? 0.7 Million over the weekend does not add up. I saw proto needles, but nowhere near enough to discount that many kills. Basically a whole day worth of kills is unaccounted for.
Also, I encountered a handful of match-making issues. I've been pulled into matches with 0 clones remaining 4 times in 5 days. As well as playing a game of 5 vs 12. Don't get me wrong, that was my best game to date, but we had that at 35/50 clones remaining with no reinforcement. I know it takes time to modify and test new code, so I'm not mad: just giving an honest account.
Based on the time extension message, we're getting a module BPO. Likely a dropsuit module, but what kind? I bet on a Damage mod, or a Biotic (Myofibril seems likely).
We'll make the deadline now

It won't be the yellow mod, my guess would be a mod that increase just the jump night.

I don't think that is dropsuit module. We are not fighting for a module. I think (not sure) it will be 80% weapon and 20% dropsuit!

Thank you.
You know what would be awesome?
An ingame counter during the matches.
I know, it's not possible. But imagine what it would be like to have a live update on every death. It would be so ******* rewarding. |

Now if we only knew which dropsuit or module has been flogged for it's maximum shelf-life AUR sales... we'd have it nailed.

That would be cool. Or a BPO that adapts to every player depending on the skills they have.
If you had level 5 Min Assault and level 4 Gal Assault, you would get a Min BPO.
If you had a level 3 Am Sentinal, and a level 3 Cal Scout, it would be random what you would get.
If they did this it would be awesome.

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

How is it we can manage 1 million clones on a Monday but only 700,000 over a weekend? They gave out a hint as to what the BPO might be. So people were more incentivized to play.
And the hint was........

Nova knives also tend to do exceedingly well on this map. At least for me. I went 21-15 with STD Nova Knives on my APEX Tiger.

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.

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. |

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. All things considered: "every player that won at least three battles during the event period" means during the last few days, you needed to simply win 3 battles. It is more challenging to win against well organized teams as a soloist and it does not help when your team loses heart and simply stops going after the objectives. Still, my kids and I have managed to win at least 3 matches over the last few days. Hard, but not impossible... Harder if you only have time to play a couple of matches and get stuck in heartless teams. The matchmaking for this game is a bit odd overall. Sometimes it seems I get placed on the super teams, sometimes I get placed on the under-achiever teams, and sometimes I get placed on teams that seem balanced. The rewards were... interesting. I like the idea of a BPO. I don't like knowing if it will or will not be something worth having. I understand why Devs like surprises, but for an event requiring you to sacrifice so many clones an unknown reward is not the best way to incentivize people. The number of warbarge components being offered is not an impressive amoun. But considering that the running of this game relies on micro-transactions of which warbarge components are valued at 3 AUR each, 1000 warbarge components equates to 3000 AUR. Regarding the decryption keys: if you have a lot, 20 does not seem like much, if you have 37, like my daughter does on her character, its a lot. Maybe if they scaled the number based on the number of lockboxes? But then people who opened theirs or bought a bunch of keys and opened them prior to the event would complain how unfair that was. Also considering that decryptor keys are part of the micro transaction system, it is not quite a stingy reward.
The issue I have is not with any one of them individually, itGÇÖs all of them combined. Change one and I probably would have had the energy to continue with this event.
If we had no mandatory wins (just complete 10 matches like last time) I can easily overlook proto stomping and meager rewards. I wouldnGÇÖt have to worry about fighting the objectives and trying to win, I could just run in there and die.
If we had mandatory wins but a proper matchmaking with even matches and meager rewards, hell yeah! Even matches are what kindle my love for this game. I love tough fights that go down to the wire, I donGÇÖt care how many times I die if the fight is good and leaves me wanting more.
And I could cope with mandatory wins and proto stomping if the rewards were not only amazing but known beforehand. Super-awesome-BPO, 5000 Warbarge components, 50 keys and extra SP? GÇ£Here is my head Mr. Proto Stomper, please kick it repeatedly and I will be back for more in just a secondGÇ£
Based on the failure of the event, I donGÇÖt think I was the only one to give up on it. Too many things went wrong.

GÇ£What ifGÇ¥ is gambling and I donGÇÖt gamble much. Having an unknown BPO as a reward is pretty much the same as buying keys to open boxes. ThereGÇÖs a chance to get something good but also an equal chance to get something utterly useless. For that reason I donGÇÖt buy keys even though I would very much like a Pink PLC BPO and have the AUR to do so.
So without knowing the BPO beforehand, I donGÇÖt care about it at all. To get people excited is to give them something, anything to go by. You need to make me want the rewards.
If the KrinGÇÖs message is correct and what weGÇÖre facing is a module BPO I am not impressed. If itGÇÖs a new Myofib module my response to that at best is GÇ£mehGÇ¥. Module BPOGÇÖs are handy but do not excite me much but thatGÇÖs personal opinion and taste. I like weapon and suit BPOGÇÖs as they feel more substantial than module BPOGÇÖs. I can see my gun and suit, I cannot see a module. But again, that is my personal preference only.

I want the BPO and the Warbarge components and the decrypter keys! I think they are great prizes! The only people complaining they want sp for the event are noobs that actually need the sp.
I agree with this, mostly. While SP is nice, it's easy enough to get to ADV level skills in a short time, and the experience gained from earning the rest of the SP is crucial to how you play once you unlock proto gear, should they choose to use it. I think the BPO as the main reward is great, as long as it's not something useless to 90% of the players (iirc, it's supposed to be useful to most, so that shouldn't be the case). The WB components and Keys are just icing on the cake. In the long run, i'd choose the BPO over 5m SP, every time.
This is the first time I have ever posted anything in the forums so sorry if I **** up, but the
new players need the SP i barely touch the game cause I can't kill anyone and I would love to
play this game more but i cant get into a match without going negative constantly and it gets
depressing. (at least make it so from the start new players have 2 mil SP so that they can form
their character from that and not be outclassed by everyone(1st Character/Recruit) |

Hey man if it's any consolation I have a 1.16 KDR, have been playing for 18 months, 40m SP. I die less than I used to. But I die a lot. I almost always run ADV suits, ADV weapons, proto modules. I go ISK negative a lot of matches...down to 25m ISK from ~80m.
You might also hit up "The Learning Coalition" here and in-game if you haven't already for support and ppl to squad with - or just advice etc.
Hope you get some fun out of it!! |
