Stargate Trailblazers Event

Instead what we get is a the lying hand of god giving them a freebee gate so they don’t have to work for their content.

The new gate to Solitude is in that Kenninck system on the extreme left.

[Pierre_de_Bricassart]

It’s a bug, no doubt. Don’t know what they are counting. Just keep on trying.

@Tipa_Riot

Do we have the chance to prevent the gates to be build, or is the outcome all set in stone already?

No because they are fixing the mess they made with the Trigs.

@CCP_Fozzie

the empires are going to be completing these gates next month no matter what

So you undid the players effort.

Not only is this not a sandbox anymore, you are intentionally removing player accomplishments.

CCP I would like to sincerely thank you for this event !
This is one of the best things that I’ve seen in the last years !
Keep up with the good work and ignore the regular trolls and wannabe Eve experts on this forum !

For you wannabe Eve experts and cry babies: You have all failed to see the PvP opportunities these new gates will provide you with .

P.S. Cut off with the racist BS every time that you mention PA , there’s a lot of you on these forums that treat them as they are inferior and not worthy of you .

[Dav_Varan]

Everything must be vanilla
It was better when teh stain gate was an Aprils fools.

Also why include a low sec on the Jita / Amarr route , Min / Gal does not have one.
Its gonna be the new rancer and indis are going to have to make the 40 jump high sec route or die in a fire , so what is the point ?

[Makshima_Shogo]

New place for new players to die from auto route

@Faylee_Freir

The PR surrounding this as explicitly said by CCP was that we can choose a side. We can effect the outcome. That what we did mattered. None of that is true.

Just like Invasion Chapter 3. What they say and what they do are very different things.

Waay back in the fallout from the Incarna patch and the “thousand dollar jeans” argument Hillmar said the following about the playerbase “watch what they do not what they say”.

Words we the playerbase should follow. Dev Blogs and teasers are so full of marketing bullcrap, don’t believe anything or plan for anything until you see it in game.

@Brisc_Rubal

That being said, as I noted before, it seems clear that there is a ton of desire from people to be able to make permanent changes to the game through their actions. I think that’s good to know and hope it will be incorporated into future content

I am undecided. Technically I think its a great idea for players to have agency and impact on the game. Unfortunately TTP comes into play, things will be done for the lulz.

[Igzorn_Buelle]

@CCP_Fozzie any plans to keep this iteration of resource wars in the game again ?
it would be lovely to have it after the event.
especialy since it is not as scatterd than the last one.

[Jenn_aSide]

This event is proof that a company famous for making a hit sandbox game shouldn’t be trying to make thempark style content.

Thats what this is. We can’t stop the gate construction, we can either “help” or not participate. That’s not a choice at all.

The current devs, foolishly, naively, think that they can use cheap tricks to get PvE players to PvP zones.

Real sandbox/PvP devs would know that they way to increase PvP participation is the make the PvP great, drawing in the millions of PvPers world wide.

[Dior_Ambraelle]

Seriously @CCP_Fozzie test the events!
Close Sisi, log in as players without cheats and test the events!
Have ISD and CSM test the events for a week! They already have NDA right? You may even replace the loot with metal scraps if you want to.
Almost every single event is broken on the first day. This isn’t even embarrassing anymore, it’s just sad!

[Deantwo]

Where are the Loyalty Point (LP) stores even located? It doesn’t look like the mining corporations own any stations and there is no information about it in-game or in this thread that I can find.

Will the LP store be open after the event ends? For how long?

I mean in this case it deeply embarrassing because it’s literally a reskin for the 2017 resource wars.
It means either there events are setup in such a messy way they had to re-write a 2017 event to make it active again or they broke it then released it based on a core event that was functional.
Like nothing in the event seems unique or new other then the reward table.

Like it would be funny if it wasn’t for the sad fact there are still people paying money to get hosed like this on every release.
The sad reality is if broken releases don’t impact the bottom line why should CCP change or even care?

My understanding is this is the whole point of the exercise. CCP (or at least the Dev in charge) are effectively piloting a revamp of RW. Complete with a 400% increase on previous payout. Based on feedback for this event (ie on the mechanics, not the storyline) they then hope to have an idea of if/ how to perhaps reintroduce this mechanic in future.

EDIT:

Based on a Dev’s posts on redditt, this is exactly the point.

@Hariet

I’m mean that’s just lazy, failing to release already made content in a working state is just bad.

They also had 4 years to deal with the issue’s so they didn’t have to write a exploit notification on day one, because they already known the mechanics they used them before.

Like it all screams where trying to cover up us being lazy ( read cheap ) with the event, so we rolled out something we already had and didn’t really bother with testing if it still worked, aka it looks like a 1 day job for a couple of people to reskin.

Like if you asked me they where forced by PA to do a event and quickly worked out something they could hook on there already planned gate changes, if this had more then a day of development it really doesn’t show.
