I was under the impression this thread is more for feedback in regards the the current and planed Agency events, not a generalized and disgruntled moan as to why you are dissatisfied with the game and companies overall strategies and unwillingness to take full responsibility for your clearly entitled happiness…
Ugg…
Why does ccp keep trying to make eve more like other games rather then building upon what makes eve unique and fun? Other games have dailies so we have to have dailies? Also why push some of the most grindy boring content in eve? Does it really make sense to tell newbros and alphas to grind rats until their eyes bleed? How will that help with retention? Boring them to death is the new business model?
Also the rewards suck, which just add to the lack of motivation to do this stuff.
I run this with 4 characters on 2 accounts, just to see (I’m that dumb). So far, I think it’s a psychological test to see how much we can endure bugs for measly rewards… (joke? or not)
The stuck at 0s bug. Others bugs when the interface indicates (after theoretical reset) that you have some challenge fully completed and then messes all.
And now better : this bug when you don’t get anymore rewards on a given character. No booster, no 4x plexs, and I guess finally no Tengu skin… This bug happened since the last fix, because I had the 1x plex on all characters before, no issue.
Chan’aar and others, if you didn’t get the booster and the 4xplex, you will probably get nothing at the end if this isn’t fixed. The joys of beta testing
Overall, the feature is not that bad. It’s a plus for doing things in space. Why not? Listen to Memphis too, for the future think about rewards for doing PvP things too. Depends on how and if you want to expand this.
One thing that I really don’t like: the 23h timer. Get rid of that, tie the reset to downtime, let us log in “daily”, like you wish for, but at our leisure.
Not sure about this. It may work simply because it terminates the client, which is the first thing I tried (and worked for me) when I saw yet another of these ‘fixed’ stuck at 0s problems.
This is a good point considering how buggy the feature is; one would expect these are the best rewards we’ll ever see since it is compensation for all the free testing and feedback we’re providing CCP.
Understood. We have a possible fix for this in today’s patch. If you are still having this problem, please let us know so we can look at it again. Thanks.EDIT: Still working on this.
How do we know you aren’t the one behind this? Totally. Not. Related.
Please submit a bug report. We have had some trouble finding the root cause of this but this is priority number one now.
With all the bugs, is the event going to be extended ? , since that 0 second bug, kinda made me give up doing them. Not wasting my time for no rewards… !!!
You are right, “daylies” are quite the opposite of the sandbox idea. But this is the feedback thread for a daily and I don’t get why you seem to think dailies for newbies are worse than what we have now. I even counter your statement and say that the agency has more purpose for new players than it has for older ones as those hopefully found something to do on their own.
And what is it with those silly “EVE is not for you” lash outs? Seem to be a reflex of a certain kind of player. Most MMOs have this kind of demarcation, but in EVE it seems to be more than usual. No worries, I don’t take it personally. EVE is only for the bravest, OK. Guess you guys need it.
I completely understand and it’s highly likely. I just want things to be fixed first before we decide how long to extend it. Or if we decide to do something instead of extension.
Also, you can resize the client window (not agency window, the entire game) and it should update your challenges correctly whenever you see the 0 second bug.
I’ve tried this, with mixed results. I play in full-screen, so I had to switch to windowed mode to even try this. Besides screwing up my window placements and sizes (fortunately, not enough of them to force me to restore a backed up Settings folder), it didn’t work for everything that was stuck (however, a restart of the client sorted out the naughty one )
EDIT: Additional info: I generally keep the Agency window minimised, not closed, as opening it from scratch is so much slower. However, it seems that wig-outs are more likely in this state, so my first thing to try when something goes pear-shaped is to close the window and restart it - sometimes, it fixes an incorrectly displayed challenge.
