im still curious whats going to be done with 2m sp vs all the beta players... still seems underwhelming to me... there is little to no incentive beyond the required 20 matches aside from reaching the WP goal.
300 templars... the 100 PSN community members i dont expect to finish the event... getting stomped by an underwhelming character in EVERY match they play...
leaving 200 DUST Templars, of the 4-6.5k players online, IF every templar is online at once, that means 0.5% or less of the online community is Templars... pretty slim pickins finding them
then you have to count that you might be on the same team, so your chance to get credit for the kill just got cut in half...
the 4 different public play modes reduces your chances of finding them further... but at the same time increases the likelyhood of not running into the other players... this point kind of balances itself out so long as you have templars actually playing somewhere in your prefered play-mode.
but by my math, you have a pretty slim chance of even seeing a templar, not to mention the seemingly low requirement for them to play. it is admittedly higher than the human endurance events requirement(average of almost 7 matches/day up from 5) but it is easily attainable in a single day if you have time to play all day on a weekend.
and they have no incentive to play beyond their match requirements because the SP does not carry forward, meaning a rookie should focus on their own characters(templars are to be deleted automatically at end of event if i recall), and the limited SP on the accounts make them pretty terrible compared to most beta players main character...
still not impressed with this event... i feel it could have been managed better... and they could have done something really cool with this event too... such as new weapon introduction, or the introduction of new suit or vehicle lines... introduce a 'prototype' or 'secret' weapon with lore over a weekend or even full weeks span, let some players get hands on real time test, allowing for tweaking and balancing of the future mass production(read final version) models. rather than just issuing vanity skins... unless these templar suits are somehow improved over standard isk versions, they arent a terribly spectacular reward, considering they made Standard and Advanced variant suits fairly sustainable... |
