I used to look forward to Crimson Harvest every year. It was one of the few events that blended good lore, fun PvE, and accessible rewards for everyone, whether you flew solo in high-sec or with friends elsewhere.
Now, CCP has “iterated” it into something unrecognizable. The best sites and rewards are locked behind low-sec and null. High-sec players get the scraps. Even worse, the 50% pod drop rate basically turns high-sec into gank season.
So congratulations CCP, you managed to ruin one of the few events I actually liked. Instead of fun, casual content, we’re now forced to risk expensive ships just to participate meaningfully.
If the goal was to drive more PvP content, fine. But don’t call it an “inclusive seasonal event” when the only real message is:
What is problem, loot? I have not played for long for under stand that Hi-sec is EVE red-headed step child and only good for using market and noobs carreer agents beside that there is not lots of interesting ecept wormholes annd combat signatures.
So why not go to Low-sec? That is like real pirate space its exciting dangerous rewarding but follow my opinion in this post for not spend too much isk and time.
Well done. Many gamers think they have to be in front of screen or they will miss something. All they end missing is their spouse, children, friends and peace of mind. Games were made to fill empty time, not to take away time from people we love and self-care.
I only play few games but only when bored or clear schedule. I don’t feel fielty to anyting that doesn’t help, enrich or pay me. I have a game I didn’t play for two years. Right now EVE interest me maybe for few months or years I don’t know but it, like all pc games, are on bottom of my important scale.
I know that feeling when things are perfect and itsa lot of fun. Lots of multiplayer games were like that until things change and become too boring too expensive too time consuming… I think it isn’t healthy to keep push to game devs on forums and wish an want and complaint. We are only consumers only our money matter so best actions we can take when a product isn’t to par is not buy/use it.
You know everyone is allowed in both low sec and null sec, right? Nothing is actually “locked behind” them because they are wide open doors. You just click the “jump gate” button and there you are.
Scraps? Why should hisec be equivalent to less safe areas? We are talking pirate null, right? Player null should be like hisec if it has anything related to the event. There has always been better sites in low and null during this event.
The problem is the difficulty of hacks. It’s not really accessible to everyone. All I see are complaints. I did one site with a maxed alpha in a Metamorphosis and completed all 3 nodes on the second try for each, but it felt like luck. I could have easily failed all 3. I could see if there were infinite tries, but if it’s two attempts like normal (that’s what I’ve been told) and everything being red cores, even in hisec, it is a tad extra. An event should be enjoyed, not a frustration.
And they blocked out all non-combat only ships from the new sites. So you can’t explore and do combat. You either do one or the other as a probe, magnate, imicus, heron or any T1 faction frigate can’t enter the Class 1 sites. Only the standard “combat frigates” as if you can’t fit other types for combat. I don’t even think a corvette can enter. I can understand blocking logi and combat faction ships, but exploration ships?
I lived in NS in 2003 and have spent 90% of my time there. If you’re part of the big blocks you’re far safer in NS and shouldn’t get the highest rewards. NS already has that in virtually every other area.
I think gaming is not for make people happy butjust entertain and make business work with most ships explode for players go buy an other ship for explode again and many gamers like distruction in versus situations one against the other like cock fight. That is not happiness. Happiness is a picnic with signifcant other in a empty field.
Try the BioCybersecurity, it’s FUN. I also went in a Crimson site with the normal contested last Room Drama unchanged… The Big Risk comes with Data sites, in WH space….
HS Sites were blitzed by Marauders and ruining life of everyone else, so I kinda prefer it this way…
I completed a BioSite in HS without any interference.
This is the first year I’m actually enjoying this event! Clearly CCP listened to player feedback, and there is more variety in sites.
The only problem is that the timer stops (on bio sites) and the site fails just because someone else drops in and leaves. I’m guessing that is unintended and hope that will be fixed next dt.
You’re guessing on some MOTD or some info backed up by some people misfortunes??
I heard about that and I don’t know what to do with that info…
Where it applies, why… is it to deflect gankers and pirate looters???
Everyone will lose so eventually Pirate looters will devolve into something else eventually…
time will tell…
My guess is it is hardly anything unintended….
Minute 3:30, pilot Alyssa Rotschild enter the site and the site fails… Mamba pilot flies away without the main loot… is this what are you talking about???
