Amazing what people will complain about. Holy hell!
Have fun or freakin quit.
Quite right, Gotme. Dust 514 (and perhaps Eve Online's fourm site too?) is reknowned for its limitless capacity to indulge "farming". The same way we must tolerate a certain amount of "farming" for WP and SP IN the game, it seems we'll always have to tolerate what almost seems like "Complaint-Ticket Farming" by members in the forum. LOL!
I don't complain about the special bonus events in Dust, (because I've become calloused by the grind, and don't believe we'll get free gifts in this game).... But I would like to suggest to CCP ONE thing for clarification purposes:
I suggest CCP adopt a discipline of calling these events "ACCELERATED SP/ISK" events. Not "double SP" or "triple SP". Both terms "Accelerated" and "Double/Triple" were created by CCPm but are swapped around a bit too ambiguously now.
We've only had one Double or Triple SP event since the official May release, a TRUE Triple-SP event. It meant your performance ACROSS THE BOARD literally TRIPLED, regardless of any particulars about what SP or WPs were being awarded to you in the match. I believe CCP should only refer to THIS kind of event as a "Double" or "Triple" SP of some kind.
The more frequent events, like this upcoming Fanfest event, should really just be called by their other term "ACCELERATED", as in Accelerated-SP or Accelerated-payout event. It is only targetting a PART of the grind ("WP-earned-from-kills", "SP given to direct kills only", etc...) and shouldn't be announced with the same style as the events that multiply the "FULL" ISK/SP you normally grind out.
Dust 514 showcases "Information delivery" as an incredibly imperative player tool in the matches (that's why our HUD lights up with an overload of data about the next red-dot before you even pull the trigger, right?) . CCP knows that, so they REALLY ought to make that little change in their verbage to deliver information about their "event" better. It wil spare the devs a lot of confusion to clear up, and a LOT of complaining too, I think.
I would drop my cookies, pull up my panties, and dash to my PS3 if I ever see another "DOUBLE 0r TRIPLE SP" event.
But with "ACCELERATED-SP" events, (which is what this one is, believe me, though it's not fully explained)...I don't feel much interest in participating at all.  |
