Yes this is just the worst…everyone said when Pearl abyss bought CCP they would bring the loot box thing. Plus event is just broken.

Theoretically yes, but getting the balance between BPC and materials right, is near impossible. In the previous events BPCs were more or less worthless, because the price of the final product was dominated by the Chromo stuff.
Keep the principle for more rare event rewards, and going back to direct drops for the accelerators (as the bread and butter drop of events) is the better option IMO.

So, CCP, do you still require more feedback after all of this? “Is everything ok at home?” Do you all have a “radio silence” order in which you can’t comment at all on this thread? In that case, why even bother on asking for feedback for something you can see left, right, up, down is totally wrong?
Do you want more paid suscribers to drop their subscription just because you can’t attend to feedback quickly like* you are expected and supposed to? I was really considering on started a yearly subscription after playing for one year, now I’d rather keep on grinding ISK until you go full microtransactions/lootboxes b%&&$#)%.
Seriously, CCP, talk to us, WAKE UP. We are sick and tired of this silence and the way you’re making us feel our feedback doesn’t matter to you as long as the real world money keeps flowing; because it will stop sooner than you think.

Not sure if anyone else is having this issue or whether is intended by the event, but last night (2/12/2019) as I claimed the rewards through he Agency window, I was not getting any new challenges to replace the old ones. Very little “event loot” after running 2 sites (and even killed a carrier in one). The rats also seem to warp off when they feel overpowered (or there is a very small window to kill as many as you can before they bounce).

I think the warping off thing is working as intended atleast. When you kill the “Main” ship the rest warps off in fear. So basicly you can offtank the BS or BC while killing cruisers and Frigates.
And when you had enough kill the BS/BC to make em flee.
But they dont give Bounty only maybe -13m Loot Box Tickets…

check the medium wrecks it seems you have a chance of a gala ticket dropping as well as one from the BS

Three fixes that CCP should immediately apply to this event:
- No ISK cost to loot boxes (keep the chromo deposit if you must - 5 of them costs pretty much the same as the ISK now anyway).
- Reduce the refine ratio to 2 chromo per 100 amethystic.
- Add bounties to the NPC’s. They are rats after all and that would cushion the ISK sink from the loot boxes.
Otherwise - #stopguardiansgala

problem is that boss battleship can warp off as well (no idea why). Found 2 empty event sites, got close to killing this battleship once. after a second attempt frustration won i decided to skip this event. I wanna belive that CCP is working on the fix for this event, but i am starting to lose hope :C

So once again, an event is broken.
I too have the issue of broken missions/missions not respawning and am down to 2 in the journal, one of 1 of which has an expiry time of 0 (zero) seconds, so technically 1 available mission. Does anyone from CCP actually pay attention to these forums, because it seems this issue has been ongoing for hours now without any kind of acknowledgement, that yes its an issue and yes its being looked into. As others have said, why bother with feedback, if the relevant parts dont get acknowledged?
Its getting boring that the only way to get the accelerators is from the BPC’s, and the whole turning in a ticket + isk + ore is kind of becoming EA style pay-to-win loot boxes.

That’s likely the intention of this experiment … get prepared for more gambling mechanics. First the gambling with module stats, now gambling for loot boxes. There is a clear direction.
Be under no illusion, there is zero acknowledgment of any critical feedback given here in the forum. The only thing what counts is, does it help the bottom line and does it not harm the “too big to fail” nullsec blocks?

9 year paid sub. I’m dropping my sub right now. Feel free to verify that CCP. Total joke. No gambling for me.

I suppose there could be a some sort of timer involved. But for me that was the only thing i actually liked about the sites. That you could decide how many Frigs and Cruis you wanna kill because they keep spawning.
But then after a while i realized that the best loot was the Gala event Log paper.

the boss warps off like other events ive done has to keep you from farming kills with the constant warp ins
Ye thats what i thought. But basicly you can w8 one or two minutes before killing the boss.
But as stated whats the point…
Even removing the lottery isk payment could help things up, if nothing else. But the ore yield should be bigger, to bring the prices down… The standard accelerator is really expensive.
My favorite event ever was the one with drones everywhere. Would like to see something like that again.
