Me checks event bonus and realizes: no skill-boosts.
Also me being happy: “Finally an event I can ignore!”
Btw CCP it would be great if we could remove that annoying event indicator from our screen, it servers no purpose to anyone not doing the event.
Later that day: Alliance mates complain about the bugs and general shittyness of the event. Yep, that’s what my expectations to you CCP are down to: low quality crap that tries to entertain but fails. Have you ever considered that there is a general problem with the Horizont of your game-devs?
I just tried it for over an hour or so. Horrible. Waste of time and ammo on my part.
Kept on killing frigs and cruisers, no BS spawned. The whole whiteness and damaging to the human eye thing, very bad, all the cans still empty. No idea if they have been supposedly patched or not by now.
Also, as pointed above, W T F is going on with the camera here ? And I don’t mean tactical, just even regular camera, just W T F ?
All in all I got nothing, doing it cost me more in ammo then what I got. On top of that its overly and unnecessarily complicated and restrictive.
Because only dedicated and passionate players test on testserver, those are not the target group of these things. It has to work for the masses, not the special snowflakes we are.
Complaining started from a person that tested it. Before it went live.
I just think lets leave that event to people who are really desperate now, for some reason. If curiosity is killing you, you have to try that event. Experience the trainwreck! \o/
Because CCP gets trolled all the time by small numbers of dedicated and passionate players, they seem to wait for the “real” feedback they get, when a feature goes live. They can’t trust what some players say other players might do, and wait to see what we ACTUALLY do.
Beside the bugs (camera, brightness, respawn), the event is actually innovative and promising. You need to invent some new tactics to “win”. It’s a shame, CCP messed this up again big time.
As I’m off soon for vacation, I will not be able to complete anything. With no bounty / sec status gain, it’s not worth for me to farm. The BS is just too rare to wait for.
I use to love farming the simple combat events me and my friends would race to see who could get the most boosters etc. If it were me in charge i would put it back to what use to work its win win simple event lets players farm and there is less things that can brake.
They wouldn’t have to trust, if they tested their stuff, and tried reproducing reported bugs on SiSi. I’m not talking about gameplay flaws (which could be subjective), but the obvious mechanical bugs.
If this is what the future PVE is supposed going to look like to earn money for the supers and titans that CCP pushes everyone into, I am very worried about my already strained sanity.
If this event was in every system like it is, the loot would probably by on point, that is other than the things that just aren’t respawning like ore, gas, or data sites. But with extremely lessened amount of sites (1 per constellation) you would expect the loot to be better to encourage fighting over it. In fact it doesn’t appear this way at all and in fact if my loot is any representation than things like boosters will likely increase in price from lack of dropping. There also seems to be way less accelerator blueprints dropping than I would expect with the far majority being basic, at least for hisec.
First when they mentioned that event on EVE Vegas I thought it will be like an opened abyssal pocket, but for many players at the same time, in many places at the same time, and completion would open it somewhere else, like usual, so more people can do it.
Well other things to consider are also the fact it is not meant for everyone so you wont need as many sites since the difficulty removes a large amount of playerbase.
There are also good drops but they are infrequent but arguably better than anything else in hisec.
