I believe the most accurate term is supremacy goods. That is why I use it.

Honestly even that seems a bit excessive. I get it that technically they are the "supreme" version but when you really get down to it the advantage is seriously not that great. To be perfectly honest people have no perspective at all and think anything stronger than them is completely unbeatable and isn't fair.

General, the rest of this is directed at everyone so it's not a personal attack.

So the other can use AUR items to fit a complex damage mod when you can only fit an advanced. He's doing 6% more damage than you. That's a winnable situation unless your only strategy is to stand there and shoot each other in the face until someone dies.

Yes there is an advantage with these items and no I don't think they belong in the game but everybody seriously needs to stop acting like everybody else IS OVER 9000!!!!!!!! because they have AUR gear. It's hurting you as a player. When you die you need to run over every mistake you made in your head and improve your game instead of raging about the other guy's gear. That's why everybody is still so damn scrubby.

I've listened to weeks and weeks of whining about broken damage mods when they weren't even broken. That means they got straight up outplayed and I bet they didn't learn jack from it.

I called it "AUR grade" gear in another thread and I'm going with that.

P2W is not what CCP wants to see in Dust as P2W carries a certain stigma that many games want to avoid at all costs. 3. Cosmetics are a great alternative to P2W as there will always be players wanting to show off their suits to the enemy they are killing. It's just part of human nature to look as awesome and terrifying as possible. Native Americans use to wear war paint to intimidate their enemies. It didn't give them supernatural powers, but it created a level of fear on the enemy that they were hoping for. When King Xerxes of the Persian Empire mobilized his troops, he had an elite group of warriors called "The Immortals" who covered their faces with a thin veil and were trained to stay silent. Their purpose was to make the enemy think they are unstoppable. Unfortunately for the Persians, the Spartans called their bluff... the hard way. The Spartans wore armor that, in a way, made then look like one solid wall of metallic troops. My point is that it doesn't matter how weak a weapon really is. If the enemy can scare you, that weak weapon will look terrifying. Apparently, I'm seeing a similar effect in Dust with my Nova Knives.

I remember when the suits use to be P2W until CCP fixed them. It's just a matter of what's priority at the moment. Not really sure you read the same words that I typed. I don't feel the need to report it since someone at CCP took the time to add it to the game yesterday so I'm sure they are already aware of it.

Looks like it will let you get an extra damage mod without losing anything other than one shield extender when using proto weapons on an advanced suit. Marginal advantage but this would honestly get most players killed even faster if they don't adjust their play for it. My main concern is the economic impact of these kinds of modules, but that's a conversation for another thread.

If dust 514 shifts in the direction where i think it will for manufacturing these will continue to be treated as 'blueprints' where everything is truely built on demand thus majority of the research would be in creating copies (which could require materials to copy) and making copies cheaper to produce. Then on dust 514 we would have to bring mass into the battle to build the guns. It can also be shifted that in order to get an aurum based items you have ot buy the base item to manufacture it, there are various solutions that can prevent 'injection' of materials into dust 514 / eve online.

AUR prices will have to be set by CCP, so there's no way a system for players to manufacture them will work. They'll be created by the game at the time of purchase and that is my problem with them and why I think this would have a serious impact on the economy. But that's for Tosch's thread.

Im talking about Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition - Remix, in depth. It is a racing game. In that game you could customize A TON. For paint you got different 'types'; there was glossy, metallic, matte and my favorite, pearlescent (two colors show, depending from where the light is hitting it). You could change windshield color, bumpers, grills, neon lights, hoods, trunks, tails, wheelie bars, mufflers, decals... And so much other stuff that I can't remember. I want my dropsuit to be a work of art, I would pay money for that! :D

I'd agree with you except they specifically stated it would not be. Unless we want it to be p2w, which I at least would prefer it not be, then we have to keep calling them on crap like this. CCP keeps 'accidentally' putting in AUR gear that is better than ISK gear, having it pointed out to them, and then promising to fix it (which they do -- after selling a crap ton of course). This is not the first time nor is it likely to be the last.

That means they got straight up outplayed and I bet they didn't learn jack from it. I called it "AUR grade" gear in another thread and I'm going with that.

He's doing 6% more damage than you. That's a winnable situation unless your only strategy is to stand there and shoot each other in the face until someone dies. Yes there is an advantage with these items and no I don't think they belong in the game but everybody seriously needs to stop acting like everybody else IS OVER 9000!!!!!!!! because they have AUR gear. It's hurting you as a player. When you die you need to run over every mistake you made in your head and improve your game instead of raging about the other guy's gear. That's why everybody is still so damn scrubby. I've listened to weeks and weeks of whining about broken damage mods when they weren't even broken. That means they got straight up outplayed and I bet they didn't learn jack from it. I called it "AUR grade" gear in another thread and I'm going with that. This is a pretty good article on supremacy goods in general if you haven't read it. Actually, all of Ramin Shokrizade's papers on game economics are worth reading. He was also one of the people who helped with the initial launch of the EVE economy... Anyway, here's the pull quote: "A supremacy good is a good or service that reduces the value of all other linked goods and services in its space, including itself." (Read the article for his full reasoning on this.) Isn't this what you just argued that the current set of top-tier/proto-tier AUR goods were going to become? That is why I would argue that the term 'supremacy goods' is accurate for those items.

You have to understand, DUST isnt there only game... they get money from PLEX and subscriptions on EvE side. I dont believe CCP is hurting for money, if they were they wouldnt be risking a chunk on DUST. They do it so the people who use their AU to buy these items can feel its justifiable purchase. Just having it be available at an earlier level isnt enough, the stats must be better, you are paying real money for something that doesnt exist... and the only way to not have this issue is to not offer those items in the first place.

With and without the AUR fit reduction items? It can make quite a bit of difference, but not huge. Looks like it will let you get an extra damage mod without losing anything other than one shield extender when using proto weapons on an advanced suit. Marginal advantage but this would honestly get most players killed even faster if they don't adjust their play for it. My main concern is the economic impact of these kinds of modules, but that's a conversation for another thread. If NPC corps buy materials from pilots and then manufacture aur items to sell to dust mercs would this fix the economy problem? I like the aur items, I don't use aur modules but I like them being there because they let other people pay for my game. If there is a mechanism in place to use resources produced by dust or eve then I don't care but if they are made from nothing then I do care.
