Introducing the HyperNet Relay

Even if it’s just isk, you can by isk via plex anyway. So what’s the difference? If people want to spend RL money on this stuff, there’s a legal way to do it. Has been for years.

I am not sure why people are reeeeeing here. The is essentially a raffle system in-game. It provides folks with a different way to sell high-end and sought after items. I don’t see how any of this is really bad.

It’s not loot boxes, and it’s not RNG for an undisclosed item.

Folks need to chill and think about this more.

you know i agree with you but with the hypercores being bought from the nes-store solely it will push up plex prices on the market. How far? … i dont know.

(edit: changed hypernodes to hypercores)

Well what do you know? CCP are now putting in literal gambling platforms, in a day and age when that has been rather well established as the fuckery it is. I don’t even care about the dev time spent or how hilarious it is that you don’t understand your own damn in-game economy, but you’re actually going to push a gambling platform that can be funded through real money with very few conversion jumps along the way. Unbloodybelievable.

You guys already lost my subs with your indifference, greed and refusal to fix things that are blatantly breaking Eve. This? This makes you loathsome as a developer. Flat out heinous. Christ on a stick, I can’t even find the words for what a crap thing this is.

How about you learn to read with comprehension (and no, please don’t blame it on simple grammatical error of mine) instead of projecting your own stupidity on others?

Also what is obvious for you may not be obvious to everyone.

small correction hyper CORES are sold in NES, hyper NODES are raffle tickets bought for isk :slight_smile:

will it push plex prices? probably - it is another use for plexes after all, but I suppose that mechanism is there to limit who can set up those raffles to an extend.

So you shut down sites like Somer Blink, and I want Isk… Then you come up with your own system. You PERMABANNED the people involved with those sites, even when no RMT was involved. Now, you’re turning this into an RMT casino. This is a spit in the face of the community, and anyone who either was A. A part of those sites and you banned, or B. Enjoyed those services and you screwed out of isk when you shut down the services. Just another example of a not well thought out change by you CCP.

And HOW did our CSM not see this and say these exact same things to CCP? If our CSM saw these changes coming and didn’t tell CCP how utterly pissed off we were going to be due to how they handled IWI and Somer Blink, they should be ashamed of themselves.

They don’t actually believe it. It’s just PR excuse to justify their main goal of bringing in gambling mechanics into the game to make money from plex sales to degenerates.

It’s just another item you can buy and convert into isk from the NES, like plex, skill extractors, skins or the like. Shouldn’t have a huge impact.

Honestly, Arrendis’s point above is probably on point. I don’t know how used this will be, depending on whether it actually results in stuff being sold quicker and at a higher price point than on the market. I can see the appeal for the buyer - you buy x number of cores and get a chance to win a high end mod or ship really cheap. But if the seller doesn’t make as much or more money, then I don’t know if this is going to be used much.

We will see when it hits TQ.

So a market with no guarantee that you get what you paid for, which is pointless from gameplay point of view, but with special currency bought with real money. Looks like you though that selling PLEX isn’t enough and gambling is a perfectly acceptable way of getting more out of your player base for the same thing.

Maybe you should think about bringing back captains quarters and start selling cat ears, tails and boob enlargers, since that’s the direction you’ve taken.

The Korean surprise mechanics took a long time to make it to New Eden. Loot boxes before the year turns.
