Post: your thoughts for a Decathlon Event.

List: 10 progressive daily missions, with better rewards for increasingly difficult missions (1-easy,10-v.hard), with bonus for 5/10.

eg.

1- Achieve 20 Kill Assists = 20K SP + 200K ISK
2- Kill 35 Enemies = 20K SP + 200K ISK
3- Earn 5K WP = 40K SP + 400K ISK
4- Win 5 Battles = 40K SP + 400K ISK
5- Complete 15 Battles = 50K SP + 500K ISK
6- Hack 10 Primary Objectives = 50K SP + 500K ISK
7- 75 Vehicle Kill Assists(not DMG assists) = 75K SP + 750K ISK
8- Earn 15K WP = 1mil ISK + Racial Officer Suit* (+ the appropriate officer weapons to fit to it) *to change daily
9- Destroy 15 Installations = 1mil ISK + Proto Vehicle & AV bundle
10- Win 10 Battles = 1000 AUR

Bonus: Complete 5/10 Missions = 500 AUR

Notes:
The total obtainable AUR (10,500) is still shy of any worthwhile BPO investment and may encourage spending, to get the little extra needed. 500 AUR per 5 daily missions is encouragement to participate, the real reward being the mission 10 prize.
The rewards CCP tend to throw out are pretty meaningless in terms of quantity when you consider what you lose in trying to complete the requirements. Rewards should do as they state and have more impact than they have done (and seemingly will do in future events). If agreed, speak up.
This is just working with current daily missions (with a fix in mind for vehicle kill assists), I wish we had better ones.

Getting kill assist in a vehicle is hard to do, the assist we get from others inside don't count and if I shoot someone it's more likely I get a kill then an assist. Also you are asking me to do something I'm not trained to do and have no interest in. Also tankers DON'T need my help to kill stuff, they do fine without me. I will however get my AV gear ready for battle, my quess is that vehicles will be full of players. BOOOM kill kill kill +50 +50 +50 =ƒÿÿ Yup, I think I am going to make an AV nade spam suit just for this... I'll be pulling my AV suit out of the attic for this event too.

Demandred Moores Sardaukar Merc Guild General Tso's Alliance 42	Posted - 2015.04.27 19:50:00 - [32] - Quote Kills assists while in a vehicle, not vehicle kill assists, solid complaint. However how hard is it to get in a blaster tank, hop out with an hmg, light everyone up, then let the blaster finish them while hoping back in? Who needs a bib and bottle? The tears are real! Free **** if we choose to do it so terrible. I agree that the mission needs fixed to count ACTUAL vehicle kill assists not assists while in a vehicle there are more pressing issues in game.

Excuse me sir, but if you do 0-11 in pubs (or FW), even as a logi, you suck. The sentence I quoted is the one losers say to comfort themselves not beeing so bad. KDR matters in dust. Not in the same way as CoD for sure, but it matters. Fix the game before trying to add anything else. (Hint: hit detection, lags, glitches,.. you've got some work :) )
DDx77 The Exemplars 221	Posted - 2015.04.28 14:46:00 - [42] - Quote Vehicle kill assist missions are tedious exercises in frustration. Avoid like the plague I tried (and finally succeeded after 4 hours) in getting 11 kill assists yesterday I can't count the number of times I just plainly killed players unintentionally I also many times got a "kill assist" that wasn't counted - yes it said kill assist. Assisted kill of a turrent, and got one from a vehicle explosion that wasn't counted, and an kill assist of another vehicle wasn't counted This mission simply needs to be removed, it serves no purpose. It is not fun and it makes no sense to have a mission that encourages players to not kill the other team May the Dark shine your way

These useless stuffs that nobody wants them to do but still manage to make them come true. It's like there were not enough things to complain about already.. I may be a bit rough but hey! It doesn't make me wrong! Look at how much they fuc ked up the SKIN thing. I thought we'd be able to buy them with ISK and LP. And boom! 10Gé¼ for that sh!t ! But that's another story..

Realize that it's harder to get vehicle kill assists than it is to just rack up outright kills. Note that they either have much higher damages per shot or have much higher sustained damage over time compared to like any other weapon in the game. Not killing my opponent is more difficult than tagging him with a single shot of anything and waiting for some infantry dude to finish the job. I specialize in AV and I agree with you totally . Having a event where you just can't achieve the goals defeats the purpose . Doubts are like flies and should be treated as such and crushed . #PubsShouldBeRandomPlayers

And your idea of rewards are even dumber. Why would you ever think that 20 kill assists would grant 20k sp... adjust the order and rewards gotten and maybe you'll have an argument. As is though, it's not that hard to get the assists that everyone is complaining about. I get about 30 every day without trying. Just quit whining.
Kierkegaard Soren Eridani Light Horse Battalion 792	Posted - 2015.04.30 00:05:00 - [54] - Quote It's not that the kill assists are hard, it's just that "vehicle kill assister" is not an actual role within Dust. AVer, slayer, logi, tanker, hacker; these are all defined roles, with obvious associations of suit types and load outs, and so rewarding these styles should clearly take precedence over kill assists, which is essentially "a vehicle gunner who misses a lot." Why are we rewarding that play style, exactly, irrespective of its percieved difficulty? It doesn't make any sense to me. The three missions should be more like: 1) kill 150 mercs. 2) kill 35 vehicles. 3) hack 50 objectives. Rewards? AUR is nice, sp is only useful in this instance to new players but God help them trying to hit any of those benchmarks so scratch that. Frankly o can't believe they're not offering SKINs as a reward to drum up interest. Dedicated Commando. "He who can destroy a thing, controls a thing."

And I will never understand why must you mix GÇ£winningGÇ¥ and GÇ£actively not helping your teamGÇ¥ in the same event. So there will be people on your team trying to get vehicle assists while you try to win the game to make your quota; nothing better than some tank or LAV spinning around somewhere actively trying to not kill anyone. But never mind, I wonGÇÖt be participating on the main three. I will be there for the AUR though. =ƒÿ¦
