I hope you don't put all this down to just fanboys who are never happy. There are far too many unhappy people for that.
"Cool modules and equipment to use and play with? Yep. We didn't forget about those. I won't tell you exactly what we have in store, but I can tell you that each of the four arcs has at least one unique reward."
This is just one big joke. There are complaints after complaints. Many of the so called unique reward's are either useless, not worth it or worse than the normal rewards it's based on. Why pick a 2% shield recharge, 2% hitpoint implant in a low sec mission when a normal 5% hitpoint implant gives more HP regen and more hitpoints? (Unless I got the math wrong) Going from 80km to 82km, or 100km to 102km drone range is an extremely poor reward. Going by contracts most people are value that at 2milllion, hardly rewards worthwhile for an epic.
Some of the Caldari rewards are worth 100+ million, some of the Ammar and Gallente rewards are worth 2million or only worth it for like 5 players who collect items.
"The story forks: Do you want to risk your ship for the greater rewards of lowsec?"
What went wrong? Some of the low sec rewards are worse than highs sec.
"However, this will not just be wave after wave of battleships and elite cruisers waiting for you after each gate."
What went wrong? For the Gallante arch that's pretty much all I had. It was warp in, aggro everything wait for drones to kill, move on. It was just wave after wave of battleships and elite cruisers waiting for you after each gate.
Apart from one mission which was warp in, go though a gate over 20km away, I think it was repeat 3 times for 3 gates for what appears to be no reason, find out you need a salvager, fly 5jumps to get a salvager, fly back then wait as you fly though all pointless gates again. I don't have an issue's needing different modules. I have an issue with not knowing you need those modules with lots of 20km or more pointless gates.
The Gallante epic arch has far to many pointless timesyncs. In short the Gallente story was very bad and the missions felt like standard level 4 missions with just waves of rats at gates with a very poor unique reward. There was no challenge either just warp in, aggro and wait. Apart from one exception no different styles of play in the path I took. Not to mention all the bugs, far too many at one point I got stuck for over 24hours due to bug. I also had the good guys in white ships not like my drones and start firing on my drones which in return blow up all the white good guys. At one point my drones killed the NPC I was ment to talk to as the agent shot my drones. Agents not wanting to talk to me without waiting hours at one point 24hours. Mission text repeated x3. One point I was offered over 5 branches for one mission, nice bug there.

something somethingdark said "again
i dont blame the writers or the people who brought it to live that much
they cant do something "epic" without the necersary tools
and in the eve pve case all you got is a selection of npcs and how many to dump in the room"
CCP should have the tools, we keep getting new blogs along the lines of
"we're very excited to have a number of new tools we can now really begin to put into use."
"It may not seem like much, but from a story perspective, it opens up a ridiculous number of options-"
Yet we never see anything new in game. Just the same old wave after wave of NPC's. Just when are we going to get decent PvE? Just when are we going to get decent missions or is it just wait for more blogs about more great tools that seem to have zero impact on missions.

Dagobert Dog said "But i will not grind hundreds of Level 4 missions just to get the required 6.8 faction standing. Sorry. No."
It's not that bad, a few Cosmos missions and hand a few tags in for faction standings and you are pretty much already there. You might have to do a few missions but only a few.

Well it's been confirmed the low sec Sansha modified epic reward gives worse hitpoints and worse HP regen then the normal implant it's based on. I wonder if CCP will ever comment on all the problems with epic missions? Will the rewards get fixed? Are CCP even aware many of the rewards are useless and the low sec rewards like the Sansha one are worse than the high sec reward?
