if it does reset every 15 hours, that brings into the range of possibility, if still fully committed possibility. even with that possibility, They really borked on the level requirements on this one though.
almost worth boycotting this one to send a message.
edit:- I look forward to these events, They do encourage me to sign on, this one won’t though, I have decided to treat this one with the contempt it so richly deserves.
double edit:- no it doesn’t reset twice daily It only resets if the have completed L5 in each challenge. so back to it being Bat ■■■■ crazy after all.
It’s not even so much playing every day. Lord knows I don’t. But it’s the amount that you have to play each day. Like, devote the entire afternoon.
But that’s who CCP wants this event to be geared towards. Those who have that sort of free time consistently. I won’t knock 'em for it, but I will say it’s not for me.
Well, I’m running the lv 4 Minmatar Epic Arc and by the time I finished the 3rd mission of the arc, Agency bounty tasks part 1 and part 2 completed rather easily with about 1/3rd of part 3 bounty task done. Took a few more Lv 4 epic arc missions just to get Agency bounty task part 3 completed. I now have about 10mil of the required 50mil to complete Agency bounty task part 4 and quite frankly I don’t see it happening.
I have to agree with those who say the amounts of bounty required within the Agency time constraints is unbalanced and definitely needs to be revised.
Those who say all 5 parts of the Agency bounty tasks can be easily completed by doing a few lv 4 encounter missions are just talking shet.
Right now players need to collect at least 50 points a day to complete the required amount of points. That isn’t going to happen unless you’re a Null sec player piloting a Super Carrier.
As for me, sorry but I’m not looking to stay logged in 23/7 just to get 300 points for a couple of Gnosis skins. There’s gotta be a way to streamline the time investment. Even though I don’t do mining, I think I’ll try doing the first 2 parts of the Mining tasks followed by the first 3 parts of the Bounty tasks.
If that becomes too mind numbing and even more of a time sink, I just won’t even bother with it anymore. Seriously, the CCP Dev’s who decide on these task amounts and time allotments definitely need to get their asses into the game and try it first before actually implementing it.
The last event was fun, fast paced and easily completed without having to sink a ton of time into it. This new S.P.A.C.E. event is very disappointing and time consuming.
as you mine out the 1st lvl, the 2nd lvl will be minus veldspar and scord, as you mine out lvl 2 you will lose more ore options, by 5 it basically null ores.
When will we have an event for the haulers of EVE? Complete 100 Freigher gate jumps. Complete 2000 AU system travel with a freighter. Manage to get a DST to a high sec island. And so on.
level 1 I can mine 10k m3 of Veld or 1.6m m3 of ark, where as with the combat version I can kill 100 1k isk belt rats or 1 lvl 4 BS rat.
I would be all for increasing the total volume per level, or reducing the available ore while keeping the total volume the same, but adding the arbitrary penalty for mining higher value ore is just rediculous.
100min bounties, every day, for five straight days, so for normal humans old players with excellent skills, that is an entire evening, ratting. or for miners, move to null and spend an entire day at it, every day… every bloody day.
For those super ratting or rorqual mining, it doesn’t effect their normal play in any way, they just get nice alpha skins, (and alphas have no possibility of achieving this at any level).
On what planet does that make any sense whatsoever?
I reiterate, the developers have either no idea of what is involved in playing this game, they don’t care a lot, and just bang any old crap out, ticking a box, to say they have done “something”, or they are just cruel. You decide.
its really funny
there is a small side event and all you guys can is to complain about it … lol …
too much points to gain … to less reward … WTF?
if you dont like it just leave it where it is and do your stuff
is it that hard to just take it as it is?
if you want participate … if you dont like just dont participate
its allways the same … you get something free but its not good, not enough, not cool, not whatever …
nice troll, here here is a nice piece of chocolate, It has broken glass in it, If you don’t like it don’t eat it.
damn whiners /s
sometimes one complains, sometimes, one boycotts, in this case ridicule may be more effective, They “screwed the pooch” with this one and didn’t even give the doggy a nice treat to stop it biting their balls off.
On a side note so what if not everyone can do all the steps in an event?Other games have quite the grindy milestones to keep servers activity up,one example I experienced was path of exiles league challenges and rewards were of course cosmetics.
I hope for the future CCP considers actual milestone events that take some grind like other games have our players are just too fat and lazy.
