Dear Fenris (CCP) or whatever the ---- you guys wanna call yourselves:
Why is this so absurd? Every other title goal is fairly achievable. 2.5m units of ore? A couple hours of easy veldspar mining. 500 wrecks salvaged? Doable in a couple weeks time. But a MILLION units of gas? I’m a career gas huffer. I doubt in my 18 years in Eve of nearly full-time gas mining and L4 gas mission running I have anywhere near a million units of huffed gas.
The best gas sites have a measly 6000 units. This needs to be dialed back. ALOT. Like 100,000 units or worst case 250,000 units. But whoever decided on a million needs to be fired. Or they need to sober up.
Oh noes! what ever will you do with that much gas at the end! It’s an achievement, it’s supposed to be a grind! It’s not even the most grindiest achievement out there!
Wow, the attitudes. No wonder Eve has the rep it does. Also, seems that so many of you salty old dogs have confused grind for the sake of grind as good game design and entertainment.
Grinding is fun, especially if the grind is something you like doing. For gas huffer, this really isn’t a huge ask. If someone doesn’t like gas huffing, then they shouldn’t try to go for an achievement related to it. BTW, I think the other easier tasks should be upped, not lowered (and be M3 related for all mining so no one can cheese it with veld).
I agree with you on upping some AND converting to m3. Converting the gas achievement to m3 would make it much more achievable. I’d also like to see the daily task go to m3 rather than units.
its unbelievable. miles harder than most other achievements. for people suggesting instrumental sites each one takes 8 hours of huffing to clear solo. which the achievement requires. so you would need to harvest 39 clouds which is over 300 hours of mining.
In fact, I think the amounts required to complete all the goals are way off base, somewhere out in left field… Meaning the amounts are either too much or too little…
In agreeing with this, I also find it annoying that these weren’t applied retroactively. I know the entire history of my character is stored someplace deep on the server. It seems odd to me that people playing forever now have to start over on these “titles”.
Since this is a War Campaign, I think the achievement ‘Titles’ should actually be Medals that are pinned into the Decorations tab of the character screen..
And, to your point…I should have clarified before I got flamed: I huff gas solely in high-sec and in L4 mining missions. Sure…it’s much easier if you have access to a static null constellation, or a good high-end wormhole. And playing over 18 years…gas was much less plentiful “back in the day”.
But you are correct…high-sec gas is not common. And since CCP continues to exclude it from the map so we know exactly which regions can spawn which flavors, you have to use past experience to know where to find said gas. Of course, there is a infinite source of one flavor but even that will be reduced/moving to Exordium soon.
Ugg I just realized I am using CCP and FD interchangeably in my comments. Sigh. I guess our dear dev overlords got tired of being confused for the Chinese Communist Party.
