Edited by: Dalron on 22/12/2004 20:26:13 Title Changed from Extravaganza to Slaughter by: Dalron on 22/12/2004 17:31:08 Wow I thought when I saw this mission.. 10 BM's with LOADS of rats and BS to kill.. Nice 3% Speed Increase hardwiring as a reward. (18mil in bounties total).
But the first 4 BM's took me 2.5 hours.. Then I had to go to bed (real life you know) and I realised that there's no way that I'm going to be able to do the next 6 BM's in the hour I have left (between getting back from work and the 24 hours allowed for the mission) is up. I didnt even think about the time bonus (125,000 light missiles!) to complete it in 45 mins.. even with a bunch of friends that just was not going to happen.
CCP we have lives outside of EVE.. if you are going to make these missions take an age to do then please give us longer to do them. The time bonus should be shortish (but possible) but the overall time to complete it should give us a lot of leeway. (This is a game after all.. I play to have FUN).
I'm just going to have to lose the standing (quite a lot) and be happy with the 12mil I've made out of it (and 7 Palladium tags) but it would have been nice to be able to complete it. ---

I think the bonus time limits on the level 4's need to be extended in general.

Originally by: MachineMk2 I think the bonus time limits on the level 4's need to be extended in general.
I beg to differ: In general there's enough time to finish Lvl 4 missions within bonus time limits. I'd estimate in 80% or more of the missions I'm doing -and that is doing solo- I'm able to finish within bonus time. It does need some preparation, though, and you might have to change your tactics and equipment. (Hint: In most cases you don't have to pick up the loot right away. Make a bookmark, finish the mission and come back to fill your cargo hold.) There might be some missions which set a time limit too short to accomplish, even with the help of friends. Those missions should be adjusted individually.
In reply to the original poster: You've got a point there. I can see no harm done by extending the mission time limit to 48 hours or more. No one's gonna reap big profits from such an extension and it would allow casual players to do those missions, too.

was that implant a loot drop or a reward? I checked most cans (but not all) and didn't find anything good in any of the cans. only one out of the 4 BS dropped a can at all.

Nobody was around to help
Implant was a reward for the mission.. Most of the loot was awful.. out of 3 Core Elders they dropped one (unnamed) Large Electron Blaster. The Cruisers did ok tho, 1 250mm Carbide, 1 250mm Proto I and 7 Serpentis Palladium tags. ---

Cant remember the exact numbers when I did it but I know I had.. 9-10BS (2 groups of 3 Core Elders, 1 1.25mil Core BS, 2-3 solo Core Exec's) + lots of cruisers.
Oh.. not sure if this is an cheat... Kill all but one of a group just before downtime (I killed 2 of the core elders + the escorts).. come back after downtime and they are all back again! (nice extra 2mil).
What ship do you use ? ---

CCP has said multiple times that L4 missions are meant for groups.
If you look at it from that point of view, these missions aren't that hard, and don't take that long.
It's when you try to do everything solo that it takes forever and is very difficult.
Probably not what you want to hear, but that's just how it is.

Some of the deadspace missions (Pirate Extravaganza, most notably) are even in groups virtually impossible to finish in the bonus time, though.

Edited by: Lardarz B'stard on 24/12/2004 14:11:43 The Pirate Extravaganza bonus stage is a little nuts.
We tried in a group of 3 and I got promptly scrambled, webbed and generally obliterated.
Great Fun!!
No way on earth the actual mission bit can be done in 45 minutes. It takes longer than that just to do the travel.
edit - oh youre on about Pirate Slaughter - my mistake. That one can't be done in 45 mins either, unless you have like 8 people and they all have the different bookmarks for the locations. If that happened, then yes it would be very easy.
