Edit: I was expecting this negative feedback. but i'll add this:
For all those saying I had over a year of knowing this would happen, I'm only 5 months old. I shouldn't be expected to go looking around on forums for this kind of thing. Why would I be doing that? Don't you think if I knew something like this was going to happen i'd be more prepared? Like I said, I began my training for the freighter only a month ago. I didn't even know what odyssey WAS until about 2 weeks ago.
So you expect CCP to make reading ALL the patch notes for every expansion mandatory? Because that will go over well with newer players...
A lot of things have been changed quite a lot. I think you expect CCP to take a personal interest in your own situation and talk to you, just you, about what you have to do. That's the impression you give here in any case - Or do you really want to be forced to read through ALL the other changes aswell before you're allowed to log in 4 months before the actual patch is supposed to happen? The change to moon mining may not affect you in any way, but i bet you'd be pretty pissed off if you were forced to learn all the changes up front and memorize them by having CCP shove it in your face at every opportunity.
Fact is, CCP posted about this in a lot of places over the past year. They have done everything they could to inform the playerbase of this change without actually spamming it in everyone's face. It's you who dropped the ball, not them.
Let this be a lesson about EVE in general. The big patches (expansions) always change around a LOT. EVE isn't what it used to be 10 years ago, even some of the underlying systems have changed over time. It pays off to read up on what a patch will bring up front and it should be an extra hint if the developers have been posting about a few issues more often than others.
Adapting to change is a necessary skill to progress in EVE. You can't count on anything staying as it is for all time, if you do you will be left behind very, very quickly.
If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all... |
