im a huge fan of both games and I understand the latter is a work in progress.
ive been playing dust since January 23 and im having tons of fun which is only magnified by the wonderful corp im a part of.
I know CCP is working diligently and tirelessly on both of their games and I give them big ups for their hard work.
now, that out of the way, I must say this mordus challenge is the worst thing to happen to dust yet.
this game already has enough issues and this challenge has thrown in an un needed element of chaos.
until this challenge began I was all about team work, now I don't give a crap, I just want to meet my quota for the challenge, which means im doing all things I hate about the other stupid blueberries like shooting my teammates to scare them off a hack so I can hack, or blow up the installation before they hack it, or letting raspberries hack so I can hack it back...to make sure I get kill assists I only shoot red dots a few times and then leave them to the blue dots hoping they finish them off... I don't care if we win... I just care if I get an assist... just 1 will do...wtf CCP! DIDNT YOU SEE THIS COMING?
I admit I didn't but im not a super genius dev...maybe a challenge based on winning and teamwork would have been a better fit for this game?
I was appalled when CCP told us we would need to track our progress with pen and paper... REALLY!
granted im not a computer programmer but is the coding involved so complex that a counter couldn't have been incorporated for this challenge? was it laziness a brain fart or classic CCP trolling? which ever it was in and of itself it wouldn't be a big deal but you guys have been extremely abusive in your dealings with the dust community.
I will not go on a rant pointing out all the ways in which you have been abusive I will just point to your forums and your ominous silence on them... your community is EFFING PISSED!
yeah yeah its a game I know... look I have a wife and a kid and better things to do but as ive stated im a huge fan and this is how I unwind... and when the way I come to unwind makes me more stressed out well its disheartening and that's just a real efing shame....so I implore you CCP figure out how to respect your community and engage it in a meaningful way or GTFO... cause I sure will.....
Seriously?
These are
optional achievements.
The fact that you are behaving like an arse to get them has nothing to do with CCP and everything to do with you.
The way I have approached this is:
I don't drive a Tank, I haven't specc'd too much into AV yet. So not going for the Destruction Objective.
Kills/Assists No problem
Hacking, not going to get that one. I only ever Re-Hack if noone else is around to do it (because I don't run in a Squad. I think running around taking WP from a Squad who might get an OB is a bit ******).
So, unless I missed the CCP team when they came round to force me to behave like a ****. I have participated in this event and await my prize.
My life will not end if I don't get them all. I feel no self-imposed pressure to get them all. I'm playing DUST514 because I actually enjoy it (mostly, Draw Distance and Rendering blah, blah...).
