Same story here. Event doesn’t work, nothing gets counted towards your progress.
On a separate note, I rarely come to the forums (or even check the r/eve subreddit these days) but as I’m here I’m going to speak my mind for a minute in the vague hope that someone at CCP is bored and reading these replies.
After playing on and off since 2013 I stopped playing early last year for exactly these kinds of reasons, every update there is game breaking bugs. Changes are poorly documented, appear to only be tested at the last minute and almost every patch note is riddled with mistakes. I was really hyped after seeing the new Eve trailer. It gave me hope that CCP had learnt some of the mistakes from the past and were working on bringing their product into this decade with renewed vigour and passion. I couldn’t quite believe my eyes when I came back and found that even the chat system was still borked.
Trust me - I don’t want to be one of those people who come to forum just to moan, I want to come here to congratulate you guys and girls on your achievements and changes. On the whole I actually like the substance of the updates but your execution is straight up dreadful and does every hardworking dev at the company a serious disservice. You guys have been developing eve for years, you’re not a newbie company that’s finding its feet. We expect better and we deserve better. Many of us have spent hundreds if not thousands on Eve, the least you can do is pay someone to proof read patch notes or double check the absolute basics like ‘does this new event we added actually work’.
I’m not going to threaten to un-sub the 1 account I re-subbed this month. Mainly because I’m not a petulant 12 year old, but also because I’m well aware it won’t hurt your bottom line whatsoever and besides I paid for it with in-game assets anyway. But given my experiences over the last 7 years and the impression left after coming back this month I cannot with good conscience spend real life money on this game or your company at the moment. As a long term fan of Eve it’s really sad to see you guys still making the same mistakes year after year. Please be better guys, we all know you can do it.
Stay safe, o7
EDIT: Also while I’m here, Can we please get an option to turn off the red dots? I’m not sure who comes up with this stuff (I’m still suffering PTSD from the kill GONG from a few years back) but I’m struggling to imagine that the person has ever actually played any Eve.
hm yes, i have the same problem, it worked fine for me yesteday but … for some reason is the event today not longer counting shootdowns in abyssal space. i have to kill 5 drifter/sleepers, 10 drifter/sleepers and 10 drones … i clearly fought all of them in 3 abbyssal rounds. on the 2nd one noticed i already that it dosnt counts up on the left side … so i was like … hum … maybe that escort isnt a sleeper/drifter … then on the 3rd one encountered i lancers WHICH would count to 100% torwards the sleeper/drifter … nope … was afterwards still 0/5 0/10 =w= the mini patch today broke something in the event.
Expect a hotfix to hotfix the hotfix for the event they failed to release so released late. CCPCEPTION!
So we’re at what, 5 consecutive failures to release a simple event properly (that is basically a carbon copy of the event they failed to release when Abyss first came out like 2 years ago)? If they can’t even do something this simple, how do people have ANY faith that they have any idea how to properly handle this “long term scarcity rebalance” project they’re doing now? It should be extremely alarming, considering how much harder that will be to get right, and the stakes are the game as a whole.
Or rather, expect nothing. As usual, there is no communication from @CCP_Dopamine or anyone else on this issue. No acknowledgement, as in Yes, we’re looking in to it, or even a suck it up. Not here not at https://twitter.com/EVE_status. Is CCP even watching this forum?
It is broken for me too. Did dozens of abyssal sites and only some parts registered… they should give the SP directly and not through events they seem to always not get things right.
Thank you all for the reports that since downtime the counters aren’t working.
I was gonna try and head back in and get today’s out of the way early… but now I will wait. I did yesterday’s with 1-2 hours remaining before downtime and then suffered a power flicker/outage while in an abyss room… fortunately was just for 1 minute and was able to get computer booted up and back into game with 7 minutes to spare out of the 20… ended up exiting with 2 minutes left (exhale…)
Last time I lost power during the abyss I lost it for 30 minutes, so… yeah, that was the only time I’ve ever died in the abyss. RIP cheapo WH gila that time.
Well said, thanks for not threatening to quit, and thanks for that bit at the end. So many of us… still waiting, patiently or otherwise, for the opt out option on those red dots… :::fingers crossed:::
Ye olde socket disconnect strikes again. As long as you can get back in (unlike my power failure funs aforementioned), can usually save yourself… was your alpha able to survive?
i lost already faith in the CCP team after they did that -20% ressistence on all shield and armor hardener modules.
the incursion community loves that update for sure! (i can tell, yes, they love it … ofcourse is this meant as irony)
sometimes have i the feeling that CCP dosnt looks into everything before they change something.
Yesterday my SP totals (from all 3 tasks) for my 3 mains was… 15k, 20k, 25k. If I’d known the event was promising 80k+ and delivering 40k… I would have been a bit less into it.
That said, my 3 toons had to run 1, 3, and 5 tier 2s to get their tasks done… yes, the one who had to run 5 was especially unlucky.
BUT… each of the 3 toons got exactly 1 Drekavac BPC… and last time I abyssed a year or so ago, I didn’t get a single one of those, so I was very lucky there (now I just need 2 more Kikimora BPCs as I only got 1 way back when a year or so ago… wanna bake 3 of each like I did with Damavik/Vedmak/Leshak 2 years ago!).
Don’t worry they broke the patch to fix the patch , you DO NOT get SP for killing the ships in abyss , and the ship kills do not update in the skilling in the abyss overview
Ok, next. Yesterday I finished this daily activity, instead 30k SP I have 15k. Ok. Today counter don’t work proper, but after restart client it start count. But only few lvl 2 abysses. Now It don’t count again, my guildmates say they have this problem to. Very nice. Have a nice day, CCP.
