Question for the Devs

While I recognize that all of you at CCP are just trying to make the game more enjoyable, I have an honest question for you. Why do you insist on putting all of these stupid fireworks into the daily rewards? For those of us with multiple accounts, it is a hassle to take the time to destroy it all.

Most of us who play this over-20-year-old game are dads, and we are not into these fireworks and whatnot. Please provide us with more reality-based rewards.

Thanks,
Saba

You can always sell or gift them. Fireworks are great, some people enjoy performing them. If nothing else just jetcan your fireworks in front of a station, if a local trade hub even better and maybe someone will get them. Pretty wasteful to destroy them.

Obligatory:

:blush:

You don’t have destroy them. Just ignore it. They go away after a while.

Fireworks are nice, please keep the tradition of handing out fireworks during events!

If you don’t pick the reward up, it expires and you never have to deal with it.

I’d perhaps also suggest to CCP that things like event Fireworks or expiring Filaments or Boosters that many people don’t use, all be Reprocessable for a small amount of minerals or something. That way a player could select them all, dispose them in one batch, yet still feel they got something of value from the even clutter.

They are not “stupid” as you purport. I love them, I think it is nice that the devs include things like that in the dailies, it shows that they know what fun is and are willing to make us share their idea of fun.

Don’t have multiple accounts then? I don’t know…

Why can’t I have my original INFO windows back. The new one is horrible and nobody ever ever asked for a change.

WHY DO YOU BREAK THINGS and ignore glaring decade-old issues?

Here’s a few more questions for the dev team.

  1. Can you hire some moderators for the forum?
  2. Can you stop these yahoos that are multi-boxing the forum?
  3. Can you make a sub-forum for the Alphas?

Thank you.

nothing to see here

I admire your recent actions of pointing out all these temporary forum alts, this may be the first time we’re on the same side Mr Epeen!

I just want to point out that the OP here may also be new to the forum, but doesn’t seem to be part of the current plague of new forum alts though.

Plot twist: All this alt invasion is just a ploy by him to force restrictions on the forums, hoping to limit Alpha access to the forums. :thinking:

:eyes: :wink: :blush:

Could be. He’s two months old. Most of these temps don’t last more than two or three weeks.

It’s just his bad luck that he chose this point in time to join the forum.

I shoot them at others who knee jerk into shooting back, so I get a kill. :wink:

I still glance at my damage indicators when exiting a station and getting bumped around by the explosions. No damage? Just fireworks then.

Have fun!

I did a little bit of grifeing before there was ganking. Its far more fun and fair if you can sucker them into firing the 1st shot!

Yes most are dads, you know what dads all have? Children who would love to watch some spaceship fireworks! Seeing them excited surely is reward enough right?

Some people find fireworks quite useful for purposes other than display. They can be used as a distraction and annoyance against fleets, for example, by people defending a station. I have seen that a number of times.

Gosh…will have to mark in my diary one of the few times I’ve agreed with Mr Epeen.

They don’t bother me! :blush: I like to put them in my cargo and jettison them in space. Makes me laugh.

Well, there has to be some sort of down side to multiboxing.
