Simple question that I hope someone from CCP deigns to look here to answer. Is the statement:
with the most valuable spoils lurking in lowsec’s Derelik and Blood Raider-occupied Delve.
True this year? Last year’s announcement said the same thing and the high value LS region ended up being a repeat of the Previous year in just a few Min FW Constellations. Am sincerely hoping it is true as Crimson Harvest was much more fun when the main area was Derelik.
Thats just decoration for what the Crimson Harvest is really about. The real event with the nice goodies happens in Highsec not in Delve.
Fun fact: Crimson Harvest origins from DUST 514 event in Oct 22-29 2015…
Hence the main reward nowadays are Warclone Blanks
DUST 514 Crimson Harvest Event was just two objectives actually with rewards:
I think I found last years announcement
… I was not able to find anything about Derelik / Delve for last year.
That is not to say that they did not change the post during the 2023 event for unknown reasons.
As much as I would love this year to be in my own back yard again (like 2023) I think they will indeed move it to Derelik and Delve as announced.
With the new insurgency taking place in Min/Amarr faction war space it is already crowded and busy. Placing the prime combat sites on top of that would give me and my boys a very unfair advantage this year because we control everything that goes on there during peak USTZ.
They did not … see my other post. Last year, like this, in the run up to the event they said that it would be in Derelik, like it was in 2021 … but last year, like this, when the patch rolled out it was in the same three unconnected Min FW systems.
And yes I agree to the ‘advantage’ part. The FW/Insurgency Corps are going to own this driving out any unaffiliated, pretty much like last year.
If you search for it: derelik site:eveonline.com/news (change date range to last year in search) you can see the cached sentence that had Derelik. If you click the link though you can see they edited it back to the same areas as last year. Kind of annoying as I had some ships hauled over.
Same here … ships and clones prestaged
