Reading through the Operation Permafrost Event 2018, coupled along with the 13 Days of EVE, gotta say, quite thrilled.
My question is though… if any in the know can peek at the answer… will Glacial Drift SKIN’s be making a return during any of these events, wether in the 13 Days or the Permafrost? It’s a SKIN I tend to fancy, and I kind of am hoping they will make a comeback, considering they have dropped during the 2016 and 2017 EVE Christmas events.
The picture of the Mordu’s Legion ships emblazoned in that cool looking white and blue came is making me hopeful… heheheh.
Actually, since we’re discussing Permafrost, some wording in the event description disturbs me…
“Here’s how you can go about investigating the mysterious ice dwarf, occurring once per constellation.”
“once per constellation”
So, are we saying that the frequency of sites is going to take an absolute nosedive compared to previous events? That we’re going to have to do alot of jumping in between actually finding and processing a site, god forbid it’s contested?
There was some talk about capsuleer combat/competition points, so I think contest will be a main theme this time. Which is good … I‘m so annoyed about the late start.
I’m testing the event on Singularity…I think we have some bugs…
Once I land inside the gate rooms, I lose my camera functionality. Once I land, I can’t zoom out to my maximum view distance, and I can’t view targets directly above or below my ship by 90 degrees. Apparently, this also happened when abyssal sites were first deployed.
Although, I’m not enthused about the requirement to kill targets with certain sized weapons.
What does it matter how I kill the target, as long as the target is dead?
Singularity testing indicates the Northern gate room is FULL of bad guys - eyeballing it, I counted 8 battleships, several cruisers, and unknown number of frigates in at least 4 large groups.
Also confirmed as well. I would be jumping with joy… except, and as you adequately put, their acquisition is particularly brutal. Got mine from the hacking sites, virtually on MAX difficulty, even with maxed skills and a proper hacking ship, and keeping those pesky Mordus Legionares off my hide.
Yah… definately gave us pain…
And I was so looking forward to the rain of SKIN’s like the one we had in 2017…
Well, now that the event is past, and at last managed to acquire almost every Glacial Drift SKIN, wether via the hacks or buying the rest. Only falling short on the 4 in particular: the Force Auxiliaries.
I was puzzled to see that the SKIN’s corresponding to the Force Auxiliaries class ships, were virtually absent. The only one on sell order being 1 Lif Glacial Drift selling for 2 billion ISK’s in Jita. I may be a bit of a completionist, but not that crazy to spend that much on one SKIN, heh. But I do wish it would have been seeded as frequent like the rest of the SKIN’s. Also, would have loved correspondent SKIN’s for the Triglavian hulls as well. Here’s to hoping to next year.
But other than that, I am ever so pleased that I can finally fly virtually all my ships emblazoned in my signature blue and white. Jolly Holidays to you all!
