wow.. the rewards are so worthless to me that this event is meaningless to me. the only worth wild thing is 'Haywire' Wirykomi Swarm Launcher BPCx50 and that's prototype and the only one that is prototype is AV. vehicle hate much? |

i'll still AFK past through the losing matches. the rewards are so lack luster to me it would not matter one bit if i got them or not.
EDIT: it never said if you join a losing a match but failed to say if you leave that w/ less then 100 WP does it still count as a lose? |

I realized the FAQ for the event noted that leaving a match will still result in a loss (or a win for that matter), depending on the final outcome. It seems they implemented a 100 WP minimum for the match to count for the event, so that AFKing wouldn't be a viable option, but this also protects players that were put into a game on a losing team with the match about to end. As long as you don't charge in and hack an objective or kill a couple of people in the short, losing effort, it should not count against your record.
i wouldn't put it past CCP to say that a loss is a loss no matter your WP. it is CCP. |

I have to agree; there was nothing here new that I couldn't buy at any other time. On top of that, the event's constraints forces you to give a crap about the outcome of the battle for meager prizes. The Dropsuit BPCs are A-1 class, which if my memory serves me right is the advanced suit, however, suits that I won't use at all since I have been using vehicles recently. The rest of the items seem just as lame to me. Why CCP... why did you just hand out AURUM Prototype Swarm Launchers (Haywires) to anyone with advanced swarms, yet not a single item for Vehicle players? Do you really just not care about us?
the suits are standard
"-series" are advanced and w/o that it, its standard. |

AURUM and ISK still fall under the same naming only a very very small amount of stuff doesn't follow the naming rules and don't share names.*cough* turrets*cough* |

Actually AFKing for people who don't care about the event will go from passive SP collection to full on greifing. Zero WPs then no loss hit while actively holding back their side (that is presuming the person AFKing even intends to play any matches that week much less plans to go for any of the rewards). Law of Unintended Consequences in full effect. Aside thank you CCP Cmdr Wang for some of the answers. They were helpful.
i like griefing  |

We want to make sure the events themselves are working in the right direction before we start throwing out the goodies, and believe me, there are some sweet things coming (for events at least  ). We are working on a holiday themed event for later this year, and we'll make sure you guy get lot's of cool stuff, but to do that, we have to make sure the event goals are solid first. So, thanks for all the comments, yes, even from you trolls because even your rants provide useful information and I'll be seeing you on the battlefields of New Eden soon.   Honestly, this seems like a poor excuse for offering rewards that are mediocre at best and would never be used by most of the people receiving those rewards. Testing an event with decent rewards at stake will reveal far more valuable information than testing an event that has lost the interest of the player base before it has even started. I really don't see what the big deal is, and I'm not trying to troll. If you are worried about making sure the mechanics of the events are sound before "throwing out the goodies", then stick with the BPC rewards and avoid handing out BPOs. The BPCs are consumable, so any damage that may occur as a result of flawed event mechanics and/or people gaming the system would be limited due to the finite supply of rewards given out. I don't think I would be alone in saying this event would be much more exciting / worth participating in if the reward schedule were something like this:
- Tier I - Cala's MK-33 Submachine Gun BPC x 10
- Tier II - Balac's GAR-21 Assault Rifle BPC x 10
- Tier III - Thale's TAR-07 Sniper Rifle BPC x 10
That's only 30 total consumable BPCs maximum, but even at such low quantities, that schedule of rewards is orders of magnitude more appealing than what we have now. You are at the dance and you really want to kiss the girl you came with. Good news, she really wants you to kiss her too, so stop worrying about whether the moment is perfect and get on with it. As long as you don't puke on her, it will be a win-win. Stop being such a prude, or before you know it, the dance will be over and nobody will go home happy. Sounds like trying to get to 3rd base on a first date to me.
so that not normal? |
