"YouGÇÖll also be the first to test-drive three upcoming Amarr Templar Dropsuits and three Amarr Templar weapons, all of which are exclusive to the EVE Online-« Second Decade CollectorGÇÖs Edition. "
I thought the Second Decade set was going to be standard?
i thought the suits were adverted as ADV suits in the forum postings about the event? or are they just the advanced 'tier' being logistics, assault, and sentinel?
so i am confus...
and yeah... the 100 new-berries from playstation should probably get more than 2m SP to allow them to be competitive... even against others with the same SP level, they have zero experience in dust and or with fittings... someone might want to consider sending them fliers on 'this is how you play'...
not to mention even the vet players should probably get more than 2m SP... since they will likely be downgrading from more advanced characters if theyve been around since fanfests triple xp week... leaves VERY little reason to continue playing beyond the minimum requirement of matches... unless theres some hidden kicker for those who perform well, bonus loot for those who get good KDR, or good scores... at bare minimum a leaderboard posted after the event with the main character listed so people can say 'im Amarr Templar Schmuckatelli, and i was awesome!' |

if the lore behind them is that they were first gen troopers... shouldnt they have a TON of practical combat experience and be prettymuch badasses if they think they can take on the world?
and the number 300... Spartan 300? im just sayin i think they should be super elite troopers. perhaps for future events, give them premade skillsets based on the lore you want them to have? if you dont want them being vehicle users/abusers, give them infantry skillsets. or disable their option for buying market assets and force them to use a lineup of bpo event suits and equipment. since there is no trading and the characters set to be deleted after the event, its not like these could possibly leak to the general public.
and as for giving out over powered characters, theyre all getting deleted afterwards anyways right? so whats a weekend long event of a SMALL fraction of the playerbase really going to do beyond add one more protofit to the fields full of beta player protofits...
this post from CCP has me feeling that there is a serious misconception about the current state of DUST....
giving 2m SP to a new player may be over powered compared to what theyre used to, but they will be competing against MANY players with 6m+ SP, and being singled out in EVERY battle they play... giving 2m SP to a beta player is gimping them down for as many rounds as it takes them to get the matches and WarPoints to qualify for their rewards, and they will return to their main characters loaded with proto gear for the remainder of the weekend limiting how many people get the hunting payouts...
*EDIT*
and how much isk do they spawn with? because if they dont start with a sizable sum of isk to support their intended losses, how are they going to be expected to afford tanks... your going to see them in free LAVs going for roadkills rather than try to actually use weapons or expensive suits... |

i thought it was supposed to be posted thismorning...
i just checked the announcements thread for it though...
https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=881321#post881321
locked and drawing, with no information about the names drawn...
*EDIT*
took a quick look, no forum threads with the names either, checking devblogs next
*EDIT2*
no dev blog posts, no press release about it, no details that they had said would be announced... way to keep things cloak and dagger for no apparent CCP...
i guess we shall see come tommorow morning at downtime who got them. wonder how many people signed up and quit playing before this event went live...
i expect this event to be quite the dud... |
