I’ve been flying around in my Buzzard for over an hour in high-sec looking for event sites.
I was searching specifically for exploration event sites. I was on the “wrong side” last time, so this year I wanted to figure out which side actually has the most content before deciding where to commit.
After an hour of flying, here’s what I’ve found:
Tetrimon Combat Sites: 4
Cybernetic Incident Sites (Tier 2): 5
Cybernetic Incident Sites (Tier 1): 3
Tetrimon Network Node (Exploration): 1
That’s one exploration site in over an hour.
So the serious question is: where is the content hiding?
Flying around endlessly and only finding a single hacking site which then gets immediately warped to by another player who’s also starved for options isn’t really engaging.
Why is the content spread so thin?
Wouldn’t it make more sense to reduce the rewards but increase the amount of activity available?
Or am I supposed to go into null-sec for that?
You guys know that’s where all the big corps are sitting.
If it’s meant to be an event for everyone, why make the content so scarce?
I really want to play your game, but it feels like you either have to create your own content, or there’s simply nothing left to do.
The content that’s actually offered as part of the event seems deliberately thin.
Or am I just looking in completely the wrong place?
Is the real expectation that I should be 60 jumps away from trade hubs like Jita just to find some event sites?
Ive got the same problem.
I fitted a Tormentor just for the Scale 1 biogenetic incident sites, but i cant find any over large timespans.
Sure we are all flying in circles but its the space we inhabit normally.
It seem very periodic that event sites appear, and then mostly the gauntlet type, sometimes scale 2.
But hey, im not giving up!
(One thing that is rather anoying in this; when someone else warps into the event site but notices its already being actively engaged, and warps off, the event says there are no ships in the circle and fails.. happened twice, when i actually was able to find scale 1 sites).
I might, but i am not so experienced with the Crimson Harvest event, so it took a while to notice exactly what happened.
My weapon skills are low, so i need my forcus on not dying lol
But i managed to complete one just now.
It helps to keep the opportunities window open while traveling, so You can see whats in adjacent systems.
That helped a lot.
Still mostly seeing gauntlet and biogenetic site scale 2.
I tried a gauntlett also, but lost almost all my light drones at the entrance, while the rest of my drones were in severely bad shape after fighting off the gang at the entrance.
Ok, i learned.. dont warp in on 0, lol
I went around in a jackdaw i purchased for scale 3`s, but never found any.
Not different time, different place. It’s knowing how site spawn mechanics work and using the in-game tools to figure out where the sites are sitting stagnant. When I posted that comment earlier I was in a system 9 jumps from Amarr with 3 Class 1s, 5 Class 2s, 2 of the BC sites, and 5 sigs that I didn’t have probes to identify.
Knowledge is better than luck in Eve, and rage posting where you blame everyone and everything for your lack of both doesn’t get you a lot of support.
Sorry for your confusion. I’m not in “rage”.
I don’t blame anything or anyone. The game is the game.
I just wanted to ask a honest question. If that is already too much nvm.
As for the game. If the game doesn’t suit me, then it just doesn’t suit me and I won’t play it.
That might sound harsh to you, but is it really? How many thousands of games don’t you play because they don’t suit you?
We make decisions every day about what we do with our time.
That’s not rage, that’s not anger, these are simply normal decisions. Decisions that you make yourself.
And the game doesn’t care whether you play it or something else.
Of course, I wasn’t sad then. No, I played something else, and I had a lot of fun.
You played Eve and had fun too.
It’s all good. I was just asking where the content was to possibly play Eve. There was never any requirement to “have to play.”
Maybe at some point I’ll be in the mood to make xx jumps to get to my “event hub,” which I set up for the winter events. I’d just have to bring the appropriate ships there for the current event. Maybe I just don’t feel like it, we’ll see.
So, thanks for your answer, but I guess I don’t see it quite as emotionally as you do.
