Betting on Battlecruisers: Pirate kills don’t count for challenge (mission(s), anomaly site(s))
So 0 points for me today and so much for getting to 140 points, thats now almost impossible for me, even if the challenges work for the rest of the event duration (which i doubt).
Well, at least i won’t miss anything since the rewards are useless crap.
For people experiencing problem that the game “doesn’t register your progress”, might just mean that like in the previous event, it’s displaying incorrect or inactive mission description and requirements. Just logout and login and this should be fixed and correct task and descriptions should appear.
For me those would be incorrect straight after the countdown timer would reach zero and the task would become active, so I had to re-login to fix that.
So what is the point of releasing next “unbaked” event? This is just low. Quality before quantity. You are not closing to perfection here, Dragon, quite the opposite.
I’ve completed all Agency tasks 3 times now and haven’t had any problems at all with the Event. All kills, countdown timers and tasks are updated correctly and rewards are quickly dispatched through the redeeming queue.
I used my Tech 1 Hurricane Battlecruiser to complete all of the Event tasks, 2 tasks get completed at the same time - using a Battlecruiser to kill 10 NPC’s and the other task of just killing 10 NPC’s.
I run about a dozen or so high sec anomalies and a Lucky Clash site which easily completes the Event tasks in about an hour or so.
Nice article … one point, you mentioned the tank booster slot, does this mean you can combine blue pill / antipharmakon plus tank booster and the effects add up?
If true, this would indeed make them more valuable than I expected.
Antipharmakon Thureo plus tank booster III then gives 8+5 = 13% shield boost bonus without any penalties. Standard blue pill gives 20% but with side effects.
yeah i meant the agency boosters
i guess an extra 5% is okay still not a massive deal though when you compare it to
37.5% from role bonus
plus your command burst bonus
then exile or blue pill bonus
an extra 5% is fine if you remember to use it though
Well, it seems The Agency task counter is indeed bugged. I’m at 108 Agency points and 3 of the 4 task timers had reset and were ready to go with the 4th task needing another 30 minutes to reset.
I went out and completed a few Lucky Clash sites and the task completion didn’t update in the Agency window yet I still got Bounty pay which was added to the Bounty task. So I then ‘Cleared All Cache Files’ in Esc menu, did a relog and logged back into the game.
I then went around and completed quite a few low level Sansha Anomalies in high sec and the ‘Destroy 10 NPC’s’ task never updated, however the bounty from all those NPC Frigate/Destroyer kills got added to the ‘Get 1 mill ISK in Bounty’ task which is now showing over 600,000 ISK. Also there was no notification alert or any Concord mail messages about it.
Still waiting for the timer to reset on the 4th task. Since it’s downtime I decided to run the option in the Eve Launcher to ‘Verify integrity of downloaded files and purge all extra files’ in the ‘Shared Cache’ menu of the Eve Launcher. It’s about 70% done now and when it completes, I’ll log in and hopefully The Agency tasks will update.
That sux to be so close to completing it and then have it bug out.
EDIT:
The Launcher is done verifying the files and has purged 5144 extra files. Hopefully that resolves the issue.
I just got killed/podded in Low-sec searching for one of these Lucky clash sites because of disc. Now I dont complain about being killed. Buuut! For me to break even doing this event just by that kill and pod. I need to do maybe 50-60 sites? And that was in a destroyer. If your going to make an event. At least make it worthwhile doing… Just laughable drops and reward
And no. Not a complain because I got killed/podded.
No different than July’s Agency event… and no different than last summer’s Shadow of the Serpent event. All 3 of the events with tasks and timers (instead of just sites and skin and/or skill accelerator drops) have had points you could keep getting past the final reward.
I believe a CCP dev said they might implement a scoreboard at some point to give people something to shoot for past the final reward.
I would be fine if half (50%) of the extra points I get would be added at the beginning of the next event.
Also, can we get some tool to design/recolor skins and clothes, if that’s really all that we will get from these events? Release the tool, make a contest, pay with plex, skill injectors, the stuff we made, or all of them.
