Play a few matches to gain ISK then buy that "normal free stuff".

Seriously it would take ONE single match.

LoL

I don't know, not starting with any ISK, just the permanent Fitting Tutorial assets and the 7 Templar BPOs, I can see where they are coming from.

^20 people is not bad.

What did people expect? Giving random people this is all noble and w/e but you really think 200 people from THIS community will play the character as intended?

I made a thread asking what happens if Templars AFK in the MCC... the answers I got was "why would they AKF?"...derp.

CCP should have never made this a random selection. Select corps, and THEN hand pick players from the pool. Giving noobs and trolls this? Yea, that makes sense CCP.

But selecting corps would cause outcries of favoritism, and rightly so. Probably shoulda done background checks of the players they chose, and maybe bumped the number to 700 Templars (about 1/10th of the playerbase). Have yet to see a Templar, and I don't think I will see one the entire event :l

We have no free AV, LAV, starter fits. Why should we make you life easy.

Favoritism? So give people who did nothing to make this game better, who never played the game for any amount of time, no beta testing, nothing! Only have 200 of this, and make it random. I watched that list, and I prob only recognize about 15-20 of the names on that list. The rest of the people there could have showed up out of the blue for free ****!

In cases like this favoritism HAS TO BE SHOWN. Give people who were loyal to the making of this game, not a bunch of noobs and nobodies for them to be MCC AFK, and jumping out the MCC to suicide.

Then choose from accounts that have existed since beta, not accounts that are in this-or-that corperation. And I agreed with you on the 'too few' thing, or were you too indignant to catch that?

Remember those 100 players NOT randomly chosen?

Would have been a good idea to find one of the people who chose them and asked to join that way...

Too bad this one wasn't going to hand out Templar spots to people who complain too much...

They should of chosen from the people that already have a templar uplink in their inventory. That would be the only fair way to choose who got it.

I think that Sony gave them out internally. ( or that is what i am betting)

Another brilliant event brought to you by CCP.

This game is so borked that the people chosen for special events would rather sit in the MCC and commit suicide than actually play.

I've noticed a whole squad of templars committing suicide in the MCC. What a waste. These people should have their free gear stripped and new templars should be selected.

FREE GEAR???? The
"FREE GEAR u speak of is MILITIA GEAR....
If they strip it will be no different

heres what i think of the templers

A di ck has a sad life. His hair's a mess, his family is nuts, his neighbor's an as shole, his bestfriend's a pus sy, and his owner beats him.

Seen one occasion of qsyncing just so everyone from the corp could get the 2,5m. I don't know why organised proto corps would need that ISK so badly but hey.

I've noticed a whole squad of templars committing suicide in the MCC. What a waste. These people should have their free gear stripped and new templars should be selected.

This is why I was so disappointed not to have been selected. I'm a huge Amarr fan, would have loved the opportunity to RP and an Amarri Templar and not bitched an moaned about the gear you get simply because I understood you are supposed to be RPing a faction based soldier gone rogue.

Sad thing about this event was that no one gets anything worth having.

2.5 Million ISK- to most players isn't worth jack ****

300 standard Amarr suits (that aren't even Templar suits?) This would have been the thing worth having, but since they aren't even the specialised Templaar suits you could go and buy 300 on the cheap.

Most of my WP comes from my drop uplinks lol.

Not if its 200.

the 100 playstation communtiy members are expected tos imply rage quit facing protobears

When 20+ of those 100 belong to my corporation on their mains and some have already hit their 20K WP goal...

Using the multiple "MVPs" in your corp to swing influence your way?

Who'd've thunk it?

The suits are A/1 advanced suits not standard. The A/1 assault is what I use most

I sense a tad bit of jealousy Ogre. Perhaps bitter that your guys weren't the ones given the opportunity?

You could have asked to be on the list; maybe someone would have given you a chance...

Or maybe not, with the attitude you have...

Couldn't. Care. Less.

TBPFH

Using the multiple "MVPs" in your corp to swing influence your way?

Who'd've thunk it?

after much testing we found the following ways to kill yourself.

cook nades, cook nades falling out the mcc, cook nades running at people, throw nades at the floor, run in front of them let them got lots of hits then cook a nade and make them watch that kill vanish in a puff of smoke.

jump out the mcc, jump out a dropship, jump off the top of really tall building

jump out of moving lav and let it run you over (this one is a bit tricky)

jump into acid pits (fastest way to do it)

over heat the SCR.

and before people complain no where in the event did it say we HAD to let you guys kill us :P but after asking around pretty much all the templars have been running around normally, just taking advantage of the fact we dont have to worry about our KD.

secondly bio-massing your Templar is just freaking stupid.

will post my event feedback later on tonight i want to go do other things now

200 Templars wasn't enough to begin with. I'll bet this is what will happen:

25% won't even be on,
25% will play them just long enough to get the free stuff.
25% will QSYNC with their corp to get everyone them all some cash. Then go back to their main.
15% will cheat and self kill
10% will actually play normally

Well I was in the corp chat channel on voice while some of the Templars were doing the suicide jumping, I thought it was pathetic. People who were selected to be representatives during an event were being childish little pr*cks. Was very disappointing to listen too and see.

Although it was at most 1 squad lead by a whiney American lady.

If we could get the normal free stuff then we could be competitive.

Templars suiciding during matches instead of playing won't get the bonuses for being a Templar.

You need 20K WP to get the suits...and you can't get any from suiciding.

I've played...10 or so games on my Templar character, and have 7K WP (Thanks noob gear vs Proto gear!). Its going to take a LONG time to get to 20K.


EDIT: And just for the jealousy factor...there are 22 (maybe 23) Templars from my corporation
