I read the following news blog while at work this week:
I figured fine, 7 days of rewards, 12 days to get them, pretty good. I can log in on the weekend and get started.
However log in, and the launcher says 7 days to get them, of which 2 are already past.
Did anybody see a stream or dev comment somewhere that clears up whether it’s 7 or 12? I thought CCP had moved past the old days of announcing events at the last minute with only exactly enough time left to claim the rewards.
I never saw any advance notice for it, just popped up when I opened the Launcher. It should have extra time past the initial 7 days… If not then CCP definitely sux…
Luckily for me I’ve been keeping track of the Launcher updates daily since July 4th… Also been running the Daily Goals in Opportunities to help reduce training time on Level 5 Capital Ship skills…
Anyway, CCP needs to be more up front with stuff like that in these forums… Hell, I didn’t even know about the free weekly 15,000 SP’s in the NES for Omega accounts until I saw it mentioned in the ‘Known Issues’ thread…
EDIT:
Just saw this Eve Online post on Twitter / X site…
That makes no sense whatsoever. I wasn’t able to log into the game for a few days cause I have internet at my significant other’s place but the forum can be accessed via internet on a phone.
I was playing the game not an hour ago but my tummy yearned for Subway so sorry that I’m not logged in right now, I’m waiting for my order.
I should be back in game within 90mins. @LordOdysseus saw me online yesterday. He’s in my contacts because he’s not a pretentious troll.
Look at all the time you wasted just making your last post. Even - as you said - you go to see your SO and still post on the forum instead of paying attention to him/her.
Another gripe I feel needs to be spoken about reguarding the expiry dates of our goodies we so carefully had once clicked on to accept their offerings!
