DUST Search - APEX - the best solution for CCP & the players

Players want to be able to edit their suits with other standard gear, but there are concerns by some that it would lead to op BPO fits.

When the APEX were purchased, it was sold as seen, no hint or suggestion of being able to edit anything.

I was thinking the solution is for the suits to not have the role bonuses applied, but this is unfair to those players who purchased the suits already, and probably difficult for CCP to implement without a client/server side update (bro science, I don't have any technical knowledge).

So, the solution that makes financial sense for CCP, and satisfies the players is..........

Basic frame proto suits, which will fit any militia/standard weapon and modules, a win win solution for both parties, CCP vets more AUR sales and we get modability AND variety because the majority of basic frames have different slot layouts.

EDIT: to clear up a misunderstanding, keep the current APEX as they are and keep them on the market AND also introduce the new APEX basic proto (similarly racially pre-fitted) alongside them. So max revenue for CCP and more content for us, and you got a choice, if you want role bonus get the original Apex, or for modability get the new APEX.

TLDR - introduce APEX basic proto frames that fit any militia/standard weapon and module

Juno Tristan Obscure Reference 553	Posted - 2015.04.20 08:58:00 - [6] - Quote APEX should stay a fixed loadout, they're powerful suits (given their value) but one of their weaknesses is you know exactly what weapons they're fitted with. Being able to edit the suits removes the smart player advantage ADS Ramming Revenge! Plasma Cannon Rampage
Foo Fighting Sinq Laison Gendarmes Gallente Federation 256	Posted - 2015.04.20 09:49:00 - [7] - Quote This would devalue the current basic bpo suits that players own and goes against the original concept of Apex suits. They are supposed to give a racial flavour and not simply be used for hp stacking.

The original concept of APEX was to make the game profitable so it didn't get shut down before other monetization methods were introduced. The cost of this was wrecking the future economy, permanently. Usually banned for being too awesome.

It's to see my numbers go up, and your numbers go down. The thing is, winning doesn't matter. Making you suffer matters. In this regard, its impossible to lose with APEX. Hence it being the worst thing to ever happen to the game. Usually banned for being too awesome.

Leave the suits as is, just give the players the ability to rename and favorite the suit once again. *\|LOGi GOD\|* Director of Fatal Absolution
