Yeh, I don't understand why they have the MAG scout suit BPO for sale yet none of the others. Is it because introducing those BPOs has been recently calculated to gain money now but potentially lose them larger sales in the future. My having a type-I suit BPO outfitted with militia BPOs means that I've very little reason to need to buy more aurum than was in the merc pack. I still have ~10,000 left, and UVTs are the only thing that I need it for now. The ISK I earn has me outfitted really well when I want to run with my best gear. Still, they should at least allow you and the rest of the beta testers to get them.

Skill boosters, unless you've 100% capped your character skills boosters and UVTs are going to be continued AUR sinks (even tho the value of the booster has been reduced by the current SP cap system in CODEX)

I've stopped using boosters, so it's just UVTs. Once the game goes to full release even these should be available for ISK.

You do know the booster is applied on top of the cap right?

Ty 'SweetCheeks' Borg Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 192	Posted - 2012.11.13 13:31:00 - [1] - Quote I was recently looking online for cheap deals on the PS3 bundle with the Dust code. One because I need a new PS3 and two because I want a pimp LAV When I sorted them by price to find the cheapest, I came across a couple of headsets for sale at HMV. They all offered a "Dust" voucher with them and yet showed no info on what you actually get. Today I went to town, looked in store and found one of them on the shelves. It was a Sony Headset that included a "Dust 514 Voucher" and that is the only details it gave. Now I'm curious as to what this voucher actually contains tbh, there's very little info on the web and nowhere on the box does it say what it is. I'm in need of a headset also so if this contains something else then I'd be quite interested. Here's a link to the one I saw in town :- ttp://hmv.com/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?sku=968024 Here's a link to one on Amazon :- http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-PlayStation-Wireless-Headset-Voucher/dp/B009VUPAA0 As you can see there's zero info and even looking at the -ú79.99 one's box in town, it still told me nothing about what I'm getting. Can CCP clarify what exactly this voucher offers please?. Is it a Merc Pack?, Is it a beta code?, Is it aurum?.

Also, how in hell can voucher be released without any INFORMATIONS about it ? That's just insane.

Cross Atu Conspiratus Immortalis 775	Posted - 2012.11.13 21:50:00 - [8] - Quote I'd be great to get details confirmed on this. Seems kind of like the type of stuff that might belong, I don't know, say posted by a dev on the official game forum or something? EDIT: Assuming of course that this isn't just something Sony has done without bothering to inform anyone first... ah Sony
Ty 'SweetCheeks' Borg Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 192	Posted - 2012.11.14 10:54:00 - [9] - Quote Any info yet please CCP?. I really want to know if it's worth an investment. If it's only a Merc pacl then it's definately worth buying the -ú25 headset, if not then I'll just get them seperately later on down the line

Ty 'SweetCheeks' Borg Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 192	Posted - 2012.11.15 13:13:00 - [11] - Quote I'm beginning to think they don't even know about this pack tbh. That said, it seems the PS3 deal is only available in the US. So it stands to reason that this is the euro version of the deal. I'm seeing more and more Guristas LAV's on the battle field and surely they can't all be getting the pack imported to the EU? It seems that it's a bit unfair that we don't even have the opportunity to get this BPO in the EU tbh if that's the case.
Oxskull Duncarino Shadow Company HQ 165	Posted - 2012.11.15 15:27:00 - [12] - Quote Yeh, it's weird having no info available on the headset bundle. I'm getting the wireless 7.1 digital headset soon, and would love to know whether I should grab it now for bonus gear. While looking though, I came across some of what the new PS3 Dust bundle has. "Included with this PlayStation 3 bundle is a promotional code for your personal DUST 514 ordinance pack containing a 7-day active skill booster, a permanent Armored Personnel Carrier, an assortment of digital items, and 2,000 Aurum to spend on in-game gear, weapons and equipment." http://store.sony.com/p/PS3-250GB-UNCHARTED-3-Game-of-the-Year-Bundle/en/p/PS399106 Other than the the Armored Personnel Carrier, which sounds great(or is it just an LAV), it doesn't seem like alot that a buyer is getting unless there's more BPOs not mentioned. Either way, it really makes me appreciate my MAG merc pack.
Ty 'SweetCheeks' Borg Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 192	Posted - 2012.11.15 15:31:00 - [13] - Quote That pack you refer to contains the "Guristas Saga". It's basically a gold plated LAV and looks pretty pimp. I'd personally like some way of buying this since we can't get it in EU it seems. I'd also like to see Aurum variants of the other MAG suits available, as I missed that deal :(
Oxskull Duncarino Shadow Company HQ 165	Posted - 2012.11.15 15:56:00 - [14] - Quote Ah right. Haha, it shows how much I've looked at vehicles on the market by the fact I though the golden LAV was just an aurum variant like the gold dropsuit ones. There goes the image I had of a proper Dust APC. Yeh, I don't understand why they have the MAG scout suit BPO for sale yet none of the others. Is it because introducing those BPOs has been recently calculated to gain money now but potentially lose them larger sales in the future.

I'll more than likely buy future packs, like the merc pack I have, and if they leave me with spare aurum, I'll treat myself. But I'm not buying aurum purely for boosters. I'll get enough SP every week to keep me advanced enough to have fun and hold my own.
Oxskull Duncarino Shadow Company HQ 165	Posted - 2012.11.16 11:29:00 - [20] - Quote Out of a mixture of interest/boredom I made a few calls to see if I could find out what the Dust voucher with the headset bundle consisted of. First stop was Sony. Haha, I was told that they couldn't tell me anything as it was the retailer that would have the information not them. Bull****. Next I got onto HMV Ireland and even though the bundle was never sold here, I was told that HMV have discontinued it. I've just sent a email to Dust support, so here's hoping we can get to the bottom of this soon.

Ty 'SweetCheeks' Borg Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 192	Posted - 2012.11.17 11:55:00 - [21] - Quote Nice one Oxskull!. Perhaps we'll actually find out eventually lol. I can't believe it's taken this long to get info on a product currently being offered tbh as part of this game. Like I said, the set is still on sale here in the England as I had one in my hands last Tuesday. I've just no idea what the hell is in it lol.
Ty 'SweetCheeks' Borg Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 192	Posted - 2012.11.19 17:39:00 - [22] - Quote Ok, since the GM's aren't bothered about supplying information on a product Sony is selling on behalf of CCP. I ask the community for help. Do any of the player base know who or where to contact regarding this?. I'd like more information about this and it seems posting on this forum is not the place for it.

And I'm not bothered at the moment setting up an Amazon account so I can ask anyone viewing the page a question that they will most likely have themselves. I might do it tomorrow.

I suppose I have mentioned in the thread that we in the EU can't even get hold of the Guristas Saga even if we wanted to, as it's only available in NA. It seems also that these EU deals are not in NA? Here's hoping they can clarify, I want my pimp ride! ;)

Ty 'SweetCheeks' Borg Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 192	Posted - 2012.12.16 12:56:00 - [33] - Quote Presumably this http://www.dust514.com/news/2012/12/european-bundle/ is my reply. If that's the case then I'm definately not buying it lol. A permanent shotty is not anywhere near a LAV and since I still have 50 of the ones you get from the merc pack, I'm not shelling out for a BPO one I'll never use either lol. How come we Euro's have no way of getting the LAV?? and likewise with the US guys not getting a Shotty if they want one??. I seriously hope these items find their way into the market like the MAG suits, as I'm not importing a PS3 just for this and as it stands there's no other way to get one.... Why not just sell the same things in both parts of the world?, it makes no sense. Thanks for the info anyway CCP.
