I had one of the most frustrating moments in months of Dust Beta playing: In this new build, money is hard to come by, but I saved and bought all the militia gear I needed to fit a decent Sica. I finally spent my hard earned $150K for it, and went out swinging my big bat with a big grin.
The Sica eventually gets destroyed (no problem). But the fit is now invalid!!!!!!!!
The Sica is now a BPC!!!!!!!
W...T...F....
I can live with the fact that it is a BPC (maybe). But the real frustration is realizing that I wasted (yes, wasted) my ISK on a BPC when I thought it was a BPO.
How hard is it to show SOMEWHERE, that it is a BPO or a BPC. At one point it was known that "militia" was all BPO, now it is not. This is critical when the game comes out for real. I can still tell myself that the next wipe will "erase" my error (which is not my error btw). But when it comes out, there won't be that option to calm myself.
Frustration = lost gamers = bad game
Now I am frustrated. And since money is so hard to come by in this build, I have stopped buying stuff. So I am left to battle bouncing bunnies with my lower-than-average thumb skills. Goodbye logistic role, goodbye pilot role, welcome bouncing bunny hunter. And this is not what I want to do in a game. So I stopped playing.
I played many more (short) sessions since, telling myself that it will pass, but I remain a bouncing bunny hunter who doesn't like to hunt bouncing bunnies.
I will probably keep playing a match or three now and again to see if anything changed, but no more long DUST sessions for me.

If it took you a long time to get 150,000 ISK, you are doing Dust wrong. :P
However, I do agree that a better line should be drawn between BPOs and BPCs. I am, however, getting the feeling that BPOs aren't going to be incredibly common, though that doesn't change the fact that it is currently really hard to tell the difference. |

I agree with this. There needs to be somehow in the marketplace to distinguish between BPO and BPC. |

Instead of having a militia gear section in the marketplace there should be a BPO section in the marketplace. |

I totally agree with this, I had the same thing happen, I had specced my militia tank to be quite defensive, only for it to get blown to smithereens by a single swarm launcher volley! Only after the game did I see my build was now invalid. |

I agree with the fact that BPC's and BPO's need a clear distinction from each other.
How ever, keeping the Militia Gear tab is very helpful. If your low on ISK, the militia gear tab almost looks like a "cheap items" tab.
CCP, if you want "easy to understand", add labels to pretty much everyone item you see on the market place (i.e. "This Item Is A BPO" or "This Item Is Worth [insert number] BPC"). Might as well add little notes into the description of each and every item stating the same thing. |
