Fireworks!
I daydream about things I would love to see in eve, or a game in general. Eve keeps implementing those things. Granted my daydreams contain a few orders of magnitude of additional stuff. If I wasn't poor, I'd throw more money at eve. |

But one question: If the firework will end in an response of CONCORD if I am not in war / they are not a suspect, and I do not have a limited engagement with them.. how do I fire this firework the normally way? Do I have to wait till a suspect person crosses my way? CCP meant that if you fire back with a normal, damage doing weapon you will get CONCORDed. If you fire back with the festival launcher, no issue. http://vincentoneve.wordpress.com/ |

Can I have a BPO for the key to open the door pretty pretty please? Maybe. Maybe not. Suppose there is still some surprise to be had. :) I promise you my first born if this happens. Or someones first born at least. Dont do it (the first born part). The BPO bill of material calls for a Villard wheel, an item not in the game. So you cannot actually make the key.
Unless CCP adds Villard wheels.......
Im surprised you could not have both boots.ini (female) and boots.ini (male).
To everyone: Last time we had snowballs shooting a station caused it to fire all its sentry guns in random directions. I have yet to test this this year.... anyone? http://vincentoneve.wordpress.com/ |

There are no plans to as it stands, but we may. Thanks for the quick answer. So, you may at some point in the future give out more T2 BPOs? Or more tournament ships? You can see why we would want some confirmation of the uniqueness of these items, or it becomes very risky to collect them. Personally I will be collecting this year's snowballs, launchers and fireworks. Especially now they won't melt :) Iskflakes CCP released snowball launchers more than once and never claimed they were going to be limited, one release items.
T2 BPO's have been clearly announced as never being released again, and tournament ships specifically state that they will only be given out as prizes for that one specific tournament.
I'm not being catty, I just think they have spelled things out pretty clearly on those particular items.
What I'm concerned about are the ships in different corporate colors that are being given out with certain promotional offers. The wording on those is a bit ambiguous and I'm going to be irritated if they are never available otherwise. To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

iskflakes wrote:This may be the only negative post in the thread, but I'm not happy with these festival launchers. A lot of us spend time collecting rare items, and some of us had stockpiles of snowball launchers which were worth large amounts of ISK. Now suddenly they're worthless, billions lost. I know reimbursement is impossible, but could you take more care in future to not destroy collections like this? The festival launcher could have been introduced as a new item, as they've been out of circulation for several years, and nobody would have LOST money at Christmas time. I am happy you kept the snowballs separate though, very happy. Will festival launchers be a unique item now, or are we at risk of having them appear next year?

Iskaflakes I know how you feel i had a BPO's for anaconda and python mines When they removed them from the game granted you couldn't make them anymore anyway but it was a nostalgia thing still Alas they disappeared never to return and no compensation was ever given |

Thanks CCP for the awesome Xmas gifts. Very cool. I hope to be able to display them in my CQ someday.
Speaking of which - was that a little Easter Egg hint I saw from you about the key actually unlocking something???
Could it be....?
IF so that would be fantastic. We have been overdue for some CQ expansion and possibly NEW clothes! The art department in EVE has so much love to give! Lets see their work! :)

Firstly, thank you for the gifts and another great year.
Secondly, WHY THE **** did you have to get rid of the old snowball launchers You alluded that the answer would be in the dev blog, but then nothing. No technical or logistical reasons for ruining a perfectly good collectors item that some people have had for years. WHY were you not able to release this new festival launcher as a *GASP* new item - leaving our old launcher alone - is beyond me. If you messed up(and fixed!) the Ishukone Special Edition Shirt then you can fix this too...

Reading this blog is much more entertaining if you have met FoxFour in person and can picture his excited voice saying all this in about 30 secs, with a look of glee on his mischievous Elvish face. :-)
It would totally rawk if we can find BPCs in hacking sites or something for the snowballs and fireworks to keep the festivity going all year round.

The snowball launcher was never released as a collectors item. Each year it was gifted it was compatible with all previous releases of the item, all snowball launchers would launch all snowballs. They decided that consistency with previous gifts was more important than catering to collectors that were collecting an item that was never intended to be a collectors item.
The number of eve players that have snowball launchers are far greater than the number who collect them, so they they made the decision that benefited the majority. Because of what CCP did, I and many others will have multiple festival launchers for launching multiple fireworks at once. http://vincentoneve.wordpress.com/ |

I'M THROWING MONEY AT THE SCREEN BUT NOTHING IS HAPPENING!
In all seriousness, you guys are the greatest gaming company on the face of the planet, in terms of the connection you have with the culture and community we've all created. I was just reading this blog with this :D plastered on my face the whole time, giggling like a school girl. I also want to use the word "glee," but I think I have conveyed my point.
Thank you CCP, for all you've done. Even the bad stuff :D EVE FOREVER! |

Change all the in-game snowball launchers to have the same stats as the new festival launchers, but leave their name as "snowball launchers". That way people with old units can have multiple launchers, but collectors will still have a uniquely named item.
I would like to point out that the festival launchers are in the "Special Edition Assets" section of the market.

This issue came up with the Ishukone Special Edition shirt that CCP had advertised as a unique item and used in a PLEX promotion (I believe it cost 13 PLEX), then later CCP accidentally put them in the NEX store for 300 AUR (virtually free). It was made VERY clear by the devs involved that the Special Edition shirt was supposed to be unique, and so they reimbursed everybody involved.

It was made VERY clear by the devs involved that the Special Edition shirt was supposed to be unique, and so they reimbursed everybody involved. I am well aware of the incident, note that the descriptive text explained that the Special Edition was only going to be available thru a "Limited" time offer.
You CAN have a Special Edition that is ALSO a Limited Edition (as is the situation in that particular case), but that is often not the case. Unless an item or offer specifically states in its verbage that it is a unique run only available for a "Limited" amount of time or "Liimited" to a specific number ever being available assume that it is not.
Again, Special Edition does not automatically mean limited run. Limited Edition (or text explaining that it is a "limited" run of some sort) does. To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |
