DUST Search - Sticky:EVENT: Mordu's Challenge

Went into an ambush OMS just now and several people from different corps were farming a supply depot - hacking it back and forth from red to blue. One of them - mock holiday or sommat came on team chat and told me that they weren't killing, that Oceania was the farming server. That I should leave if I didn't like it.

I went about business as usual killing reds. Then the blues started shooting at me. When a red finally took me out I was revived by a blue while literally surrounded by reds who killed me immediately, rezzed again and killed again 4 ******* times before i shut off the PS3 to escape this broken mechanic.

They were in different corps, with Pradox One being the main corp. Natalie Kush was the Logi aiding the reds.

Some challenge this is...

ProTip: CCP when you create situations where the opposing sides can work together to farm one of your events you ruin the game for those who just want to play the game.

I've posted this in general and feedback as well. https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=94379&find=unread

Hi Eterne, I have a question. in the post at: https://dust514.com/news/blog/2013/07/weapons-free-with-dust-514-events-in-july-and-august/ Commander wang says the following: "100x Objective Hacks GÇô (includes vehicles, CRU, turrets, supply depots and the skirmish objectives. Hack assists do not count) GÇô" yet in your post at: https://dust514.com/news/2013/07/mordus-legion-announces-mordus-challenge/ you state the following: " Vehicle hacks do not count" I personally have almost all of my hacks completed, however if now, after having proceeded based on the original news post, I am not going to have those vehicle hacks counted, I will have wasted a good portion of the first day on flawed intel. Thanks sir, Bill

"Qualifying actions: Objective points i.e. A, B, and C points in skirmish gamemode, turrets, CRU, and Supply Depots" Note that the exclusion of those two letters is simply a form of brevity in the example "IE." They are skirmish "Objective points" and count if I read the intent of the statement correctly. Had I written the statement, I would have done so thus/thusly: (whichever you chose) "Qualifying actions: Hacking the Objective points, ( i.e. A, B, and C ect. points in skirmish gamemode and A in Domination) turrets, CRU, and Supply Depots (also found in Ambush OMS)" o/ Bill

You're welcome Sir. Generally, rewards are given at a time after the completion of an event, or at a set schedule during the event as was done in the stamina event, in this case, I'm guessing that these rewards will come after the event, also, in EtErne's Post, there's a link to share your thoughts and gain extra items (a damage mod) which will be given by the 25th. (IIRC) Don't miss the opportunity to get in on that as well. o/ Bill

I couldn't agree more, I wish I could share the responses of my last few support petitions with the forums without violating CCP's rules, if I did, you'd be scratching your heads as I was wondering "WTF?" and "is this answer supposed to be real?" Seymor Krelborn wrote: I encourage everyone to stop trying to win and start helping each other complete the challenge and if some honorable fellow like the poster comes along trying to play by the rules, give him exactly what this guy got.... Again, I couldn't agree more, after all, DUST is about teamwork right?, doesn't say which team either, so anyone who wants to work together, holler at me in game... I'm game... are you? o/ Bill Edit: I'm perfectly happy finding some out of the way turret, or CRU or Supply depot and taking turns hacking... I'm also perfectly fine if we get 2 squads running starter medic fits and take turns shooting and rezzing each other... (no head shots so we don't cost someone a suit of they don't wear a free one)

Of course we're not happy people are farming like this my post offering to work with opposite teams aside... That's not my normal style of play, never has been and never will be, however after the mess with the vehicle hacks being included, then excluded and many of us not knowing this until after the fact, I am a bit cynical about the whole thing and intend to gain back my lost time hacking vehicles in whatever way I can. I believe you know the type person I am from my EvE character(s) even though I don't expect you to remember everything I've done, I've just gotten a "case of the ass" over a few things in dust recently that simply haven't been right and I think this has been exacerbated by some of the support replies I've received. In any case, your attention to the game(s) and the community is always appreciated Eterne. o/ Bill

I've seen nothing to make me think that they will extend the event and after asking specifically in a support petition, I've asked for my Ticket to be escalated to a supervisor. TL;DNR Don't hold your breath for them to equalize it in any way.

Why should we have to wait until the enemy takes control of them to gain points? Without a doubt, if you don't hold or can't get the asset, then don't allow your enemy to either... unless of course you'd like that asset turned against your team? o/ Bill
