Event rewards needs fixing

Communications Center General Discussion

The event reward claiming system is bad, but it was kind of just an annoyance when there was only EVE involved. Now we have tasks in Vanguard, and the design of reward claiming system just became worse.

You know when you complete an event task, if you don’t manually click “Claim”, any further progression for that task is wasted? Well, we have tasks in Vanguard now - “Complete 5 assignments“.

So what you need to do is:

  • Open Vanguard
  • Complete 5 assignments
  • Open EVE
  • Click “Claim” for the completed event task
  • Get back to Vanguard to do more assignments

Why isn’t claiming implemented as automatic the moment you complete an event task is beyond me.

So that…

That’s the feature, not a bug. They want you to mess up and drag the slog out more. It kind of gives you an insight into the mental state of the people who run this game.

Nah… I work as a software developer. This is just plain old bad design.

Yah, they have been told to fix this for years. They know it’s bad and it’s purposely bad. Otherwise, it would have been addressed YEARS ago.

Absolutely agree, even just within EVE, that manual claiming of any reward is just extremely annoying. Opportunity interface… my ass…

In Events, where it blocks further progress if you simply forget to “claim” in beween, its super-extremely annoying.

And if that process is even streched among two applications that need a re-log in between, its beyond-stupid annoying.

All rewards should automatically be paid out once earned, period. Can’t be so crazy complex to understand for the devs?

Don’t ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence.

As Vanguard is still being built and in (pre) alpha stage I can imagine the tech to share an event progressbar with EVE that both games can complete was no yet a priority. And that they went with the easiest solution for now:

Vanguard can keep track of how many assignments have been completed while EVE’s existing event tracker can call metrics from both EVE and Vanguard to see if tasks are eligible for completion.

What I am disappointed with is that even though EVE’s event tracker has been around for years now it’s a recurring complaint that tasks don’t automatically complete, so that further progression is wasted until players manually click that button.

It shouldn’t be so hard to fix that?

This just seems like normal free games design.

Apathy that leads to negativity is malice. Incompetency requires a level of ignorance. They are not ignorant. They know exactly what’s going on and choose to leave it as a nuisance. No more excuses for these people. At this point it is malicious and intentional.
