Sentient Archon Red Star. 690	Posted - 2012.10.16 14:27:00 - [1] - Quote These are the only BPOS worth spending any AUR on;- Valor Scout dropsuit - Available in the market and part of the MAG special edition Raven Assault dropsuit - Part of the MAG special edition SVER Logstics dropsuit - Part of the MAG special edition Dragonfly Scout dropsuit - Part of the Merc Pack Skinweave Heavy dropsuit - Not available anymore. Part of weekend giveaway Toxin submachine gun - Part of the Merc Pack The rest are absolutely worthless imho! When the market opens, these are the ones you want to get as they will help you down the long run.
Calgoth Reborn United Front LLC 145	Posted - 2012.10.16 14:41:00 - [2] - Quote Well thats a misleading post as in actuality none of those suit's or the toxin sub cost you Aurum at all well the valor but only for people who missed out on the 3 suit's when you bought a merc pack

This creates duplicates of the items I have listed above which they may or may not put on sale once the market opens. FYI!
dent 308 Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 967	Posted - 2012.10.16 14:49:00 - [4] - Quote I get plenty of use out of all the militia BPOs I have picked up.
Calgoth Reborn United Front LLC 145	Posted - 2012.10.16 14:51:00 - [5] - Quote Even if they put them on sale it will be for Isk not Aurum so post is still misleading
Sc13nce Geek Seituoda Taskforce Command Caldari State 5	Posted - 2012.10.16 15:30:00 - [6] - Quote Militia BPO's for Aur means you always have a customizable "free" fit.
Reimus Klinsman BetaMax. 319	Posted - 2012.10.16 15:32:00 - [7] - Quote Yeah. The BPO drop suits, especially the ones with standard suit stats are way OP because they are free.

True but the CPU and PG usage on them are high. All the dropsuits I mentioned above except for the Skinweave heavy are essentially Tier 1. They have all round better performance than your standard militia stuff. That means you can get more modules in there as compared to a militia dropsuit BPO.
Whispercrow Seituoda Taskforce Command Caldari State 102	Posted - 2012.10.16 17:09:00 - [9] - Quote With the 'new' character reset, it's obvious those Skinweaves are quite useful, assuming people managed to get them. The Skinweave Heavy is the only way to get in a heavy for many days after reset unless you picked that specialty, as it requires no skills to get into whereas the 'normal' version requires you to pick it or save up 800,000 ISK (!) for the skill book. The other Skinweaves are the same in this, as you can use them unskilled, and since the Militia Suit BPO's went away, people are pretty much forced into their basic setup. I find the Valor suit to be sub-par. To get it, you had to get the Merc Pack at a certain time. The Merc Pack comes with the Dragonfly, which has the same stats, looks better, and has LESS (which is to say: no) skill requirements. It should have been a Heavy suit.
Knightshade Belladonna Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 288	Posted - 2012.10.16 17:11:00 - [10] - Quote why did they put only the mag scout suit on market, fkn stupid imo . Almost anyone who has aurum already has the dragonfly scout.. why couldn't they have put one of the other mag suits on there instead -_-

slap26 Pink Fluffy Bounty Hunterz RISE of LEGION 462	Posted - 2012.10.16 17:42:00 - [11] - Quote never got a skinweave heavy damn

Fivetimes Infinity Immobile Infantry 1086	Posted - 2012.10.16 18:31:00 - [14] - Quote They need to do away with BPOs, make the BPO dropsuits into dropsuit skins you can apply to appropriate dropsuit types, and move toward providing players with customization options for AUR rather than items they can use in games for AUR. Their entire schtick for this game is the idea of everything having a cost, about caring about your deaths no matter what because it all costs money, and so on. BPOs contravene this. Starter fits are as far as it should go. Couple basic starter fits, and everything else you need to pay for. Bottom line is that people aren't going to spend AUR on weapons. A weapon that's a bit different or has a bit lower PG/CPU isn't worth spending money on. People do it in the beta because it all gets reimbursed with the resets, but eventually CCP will need to come up with some stuff that people actually want to spend money on.

Have you played ME3 or been in the forums for that game - you will be surprised what people will spend, just make it "exclusive" with slightly improved stats and they will sell IF this game attracts and keeps that type of gamer. There was this one guy that dropped around $2000 to get all of the available stuff and Bioware continues to crank out free DLC even though the player base has supposedly shrunk because they have gamers willing to purchase..... and that is basically just a horde mode.

No to both. Sounds like a bunch of bullshit. I don't want to play a game like that. CCP said that the AUR stuff would be about cosmetic business rather than gameplay affecting stuff. Making dropsuits whose only significant feature is that they undermine the merc aspect of the game and look fancy isn't what I was hoping for.

But this is a free game and the model dictates using AUR to get those people willing to spend to make this game profitable and allow us all to enjoy the stuff CCP will give us. I think the difference will be more than cosmetic for people to continue to spend but maybe making them BPO is going to far. Anyway, it is up to the developer to find the happy medium to please the majority of both camps. The more money people spend, the better experience we all should have providing CCP keep delivering.
