Hi CCP, Thanks for operation frostline. Supposed to be this big deal where things were stolen and we go and get them back. 57 sites ran in wormholes, and I get clothes/quafe if that's all that was taken then this event was way overhyped. Bloodraider event was awesome. The accelerators were great. Operation frostline is a bust. Basically you get a t-shirt and a drink which would be cool if the drink got me drunk but it doesn't =ƒÿá. |

Totally agree.
The amount of time invested compared to the reward has been disheartening.
Blood raider event I felt as though I was accomplishing something positive for my character.
Frostline? Yea, I feel like more and more of an idiot with every one I do. |

What is the point of doing something like that if people see the site and say you know what I'm not going to run it and just move on. Sounds like there are some potential big drops, I've heard of officer loot, multiple character certs, Plex, hardwire implants. I can't confirm any of that, best I've seen is a vindicator bpc.

Seriously? The rng gods must hate you. I ran like 10 sites in highsec, got absolutely nothing special, then the moment I went into a wormhole got a frigate drone chip and a 4% medium hybrid damage implant. First 2 sites I ran.

was it hyped? well they wrote a whole dev blog on it and mentioned it a few other times.
that said with some of the drops that are possible you have to go low on the RNG, and that can result in a whole lot of nothing special. With the BR event most sites had loot, but with this one you can (supposedly) get a plex, and that is worth a bunch of the BR accelerators.

Even for someone like me, I'd probably get a plex faster via my domi grinding L4s. Too much competition in high, too much activity in the null region nearby for my liking.

The fact the Tshirts have been a 100% item is the biggest let-down to me. As it means that people end up with hundreds of them. Quafe is nice as a reliable reward. Though more than 1 per can would have been better I can understand that the price at the start of the event was high enough to make that an issue. But clothing as an 'always' reward feels wrong as an incentive. Much like most people who did the Harvest events have a million Abaddon skins they will never use or sell.
Make 'always' rewards consumable items, like the Quafe & other boosters. Then you always have a use for them. |

However: For that "operation Frostline" is very very easy, you have the --> CHANCE to get some really good stuff.
Hey, i mean PLEX! And other really good stuff... No way to get that in Omirs events.
OK, did not drop on my three tries, but it has chances.

They screwed up the rewards big time on this one.
Not only are the rewards bad for those who run them they are also bad for CCP.
The Serpentis shirts devalue all others t-shirts in the store. Them always dropping is poorly thought out as they could have been great if they were rarer.
So now you do a bunch of sites that drop next to worthless shirts that everyone will have. At least the Quafe is nice because it is perishable/destructible, but just a Quafe 90% of the time is very lackluster when you consider the hype around those sites.
The rewards are way too skewed toward the higher end, and are utterly terrible on the lower end.
Only way to save those sites as they are is to remove the shirts from it so they can recover from being worthless, and replace them with a more diverse array of loot so that you don't end up will all them dropping in value, like faction ammo, low-end faction modules, things that can at least be consumed/destroyed unlike a bunch of shirts.
Hit and a miss, so far CCP, hit and a miss |

they gave out clothing and skins for the blood raiders event as well... i have a feeling they don't care about devaluation. |

Cerebral accelerators had a 50% chance to drop cos they had an expiration date, if ccp put a 50% drop chance on plex it would mess up the economy.
That being said, i have done about 20-30 sites and all i got was sinth drugs and one green coat. I wont bother doing them any more.
CCP you could have used this opportunity to introduce a bunch of new skins and make them cheap so that almost everyone can afford one or two that they like but i guess designing skins is expensive and you would rather get $ for your effort. |

A possible way for CCP to make Frostline/Harvest loots more interesting:
- Identify about 300 different items as possible drops.
- Classify each item as either ultra-rare, rare, uncommon or common.
- For each site, drop one rare, two uncommon, and four common items.
- Have a small chance for an ultra-rare (eg, PLEX) to drop instead of the rare.
Pick the possible drops so total value of a typical site is about 10 to 15 million ISK, with the ultra-rare items ranging from 50 million up to 1+ billion.
One of the things I find so mind-numbing and uninteresting about PvE in EVE is how little variation there ever is - every Worlds Collide is the same as every other Worlds Collide. Providing a wide array of different possible loots might keep events like this a bit more interesting, even though it's not any more lucrative than getting the same Quafe over and over.

... 7 sites so far, ~5min each, one add. clothing drop, else standard only. Had no luck yet with bigger piles in WH, only got a Venture. The motivation is not that high, because you are just hunting this one rare drop instead of quite steady income. But I admit it being difficult to find a new consumable everybody wants, without crashing established markets (quafe zero had almost zero market). Let's see what adjustments will be made over the next weeks ...

In ch there was reasonable certainty of a reward dropping that most everybody wanted. For me, it was about every 3 sites that i got the booster. More importantly, the sites spawned frequently -- they always seemed to be up - sometimes more then one in a system. As a result, there was a lot of traffic in the sites, which lead to lots of pvp.
The frost sites seem to spawn much more infrequently, and have a much poorer chance of dropping any thing good. As a result, there is not the same urgency to run these sites and there is a lot less pvp imo as a result. Overall, imo frost is no where near as fun as cs as a result.

'Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la la la la! Don we now our gay apparel, Fa la la la la la la la! Troll the ancient Yuletide carol, Fa la la la la la la la!
See the blazing yule before us, Fa la la la la la la la! Strike the harp and join the chorus, Fa la la la la la la la!
Follow me in merry measure, Fa la la la la la la la! While I tell of Yuletide treasure, Fa la la la la la la la!
Fast away the old year passes, Fa la la la la la la la! Hail the new, ye lads and lasses, Fa la la la la la la la! Sing we joyous all together! Fa la la la la la la la! Heedless of the wind and weather, Fa la la la la la la la!

You're right guys, these sites are awful, RNGesus hates you so CCP should fix their game or just roll them back and pretend they never happened. [/sarcasm]

It has a 25m signature.

If you don't like them then don't run them.
The Quafe Zero is a reasonable base reward (just do not sell it now).
The t-shirts (as the abaddon skins before them) really should only drop occasionally, chuck in some faction ammo instead.
It's not much different from combat sigs, the overseer's personal effects are a given, you're playing for the chance at the 1B isk faction drop... |

For me, it was about every 3 sites that i got the booster. More importantly, the sites spawned frequently -- they always seemed to be up - sometimes more then one in a system. As a result, there was a lot of traffic in the sites, which lead to lots of pvp. The frost sites seem to spawn much more infrequently, and have a much poorer chance of dropping any thing good. As a result, there is not the same urgency to run these sites and there is a lot less pvp imo as a result. Overall, imo frost is no where near as fun as cs as a result. I doubt there is a difference in spawn rate, I'd guess it is more that people are running the sites less so they respawn less frequently. Sounds like there are a bunch of null systems or wormholes where there are multiple sites.

Yeah, there seems to be 2 groups of people when it comes to dissatisfaction with the event:
1. I can't find it/someone stole the only one I found/etc These are the people are trying and failing at the event. I'm not sure how I should feel about this. On one hand this is EVE online and everything you do is a competition. On the other hand, I'm in this group, I just resubbed after awhile, and not being able to take part in a holiday event that involves blowing crap up is frustrating.
2. I've run it and it's boring From everything I've read, getting into one of these sites completely depends where you are. For the people facing a bonanza of them... they don't seem to be entirely thrilled with it. It seems like it was aimed at everyone who can get into a cruiser (almost everyone playing the game) so the difficulty and rewards of the site were toned down on purpose.
One one hand, this might encourage people to stop going to the sites over time... if it lasts that long. On the other, it seems like the skill level of the site isn't aimed at the skill level of the people who are actually getting into them.
My thoughts? This bothers me because it sounds like the level of effort to reward is completely out of whack. I'm kind of glad that it is encouraging people to explore (I even went into a bloody wormhole for the first time trying to find one). On the other hand, if the people who are getting into them aren't enjoying the content, something is clearly wrong with the design and mechanics of this event.
In terms of content difficulty, this seems like it was aimed at newbies and high sec carebears. In terms of content availability, it seems like it was aimed at a quarter of the people who have a svipul and no one else. Part of me is wondering if the devs were hoping stuff like ninjas would lead to fights, only that the ninjas have svipuls and the other guys don't meaning you can't do anything to the ninjas as they'll either get away or get to kill you for your effort.
So I guess the best summery for this event is boredom and butthurt.

IMO the site would have been -greatly- improved with a simple low tier Overseer effect being RNG'd in. Like 5% chance of 7th tier, 10% chance of 8th 15% for 9, 25% for 10, 15% for 11, 10% for 12th, 5% to 13th tier. Nothing huge but would add a nice bounty without being silly. |

These cant be shoehorned in isk/h equation the more ppl run them the less of a chance one got high sec being the worst of all due to ease of travel for the most part.
That is not to say that they don't spawn often enough just hype is too strong many ppl run em
Got my self 65mil chip some extra apparel drugs was called *** other times shithead and gg as well wardeced by just being better then some.got some 10-15 sites running today.
All in all i like it it is content creator but there is a way to improve it CCP should look hard and invest in this kind of PVE as something that occurs often. |

Yet if you take other players out of the equation, the sites themselves are dreadfully simple and easy.
There were probably better ways to do this event, either way.

Oh and NPC tears
BTW.. As I was able to show in my post these things are huge magnets to T3 Dessies and Strat pilots who almost always have some kind of shine to them. So again why run them let someone else then gank them, scoop there loot and the sites loot, rinse and repeat.
Players of EVE expect to be hand fed everything and that is totally what is wrong with this game. It used to be about creativity and finding your own content. Instead it has now become GRR Goons Online, with a side of give me it for free or I will cry to everyone.

"The amount of time invested compared to the reward has been disheartening." "Frostline? Yea, I feel like more and more of an idiot with every one I do." "We demand hype vs reward balance!" "No I'm not entitled, CCP put out an event, hyped it up, and then doing the sites is an utter let down. CCP set the bar and expectations not me.

Bloody joke" "Even for someone like me, I'd probably get a plex faster via my domi grinding L4s. Too much competition in high, too much activity in the null region nearby for my liking." "Crimson Harvest was way more fun than Frostline so far." "They screwed up the rewards big time on this one.
Not only are the rewards bad for those who run them they are also bad for CCP.
The Serpentis shirts devalue all others t-shirts in the store. Them always dropping is poorly thought out as they could have been great if they were rarer.
So now you do a bunch of sites that drop next to worthless shirts that everyone will have. At least the Quafe is nice because it is perishable/destructible, but just a Quafe 90% of the time is very lackluster when you consider the hype around those sites.
The rewards are way too skewed toward the higher end, and are utterly terrible on the lower end.
Only way to save those sites as they are is to remove the shirts from it so they can recover from being worthless, and replace them with a more diverse array of loot so that you don't end up will all them dropping in value, like faction ammo, low-end faction modules, things that can at least be consumed/destroyed unlike a bunch of shirts.
Hit and a miss, so far CCP, hit and a miss" "SKINs and Cerebral Accelerators are a lot more interesting than Quafe and t-shirts..." "That being said, i have done about 20-30 sites and all i got was sinth drugs and one green coat. I wont bother doing them any more.
CCP you could have used this opportunity to introduce a bunch of new skins and make them cheap so that almost everyone can afford one or two that they like but i guess designing skins is expensive and you would rather get $ for your effort." "The drops are poor in this one.
The great thing about the blood raiders event was even in highsec site runners where more than willing to PVP with each other over the drops.
This one isnt wirth fighting over" "At least the T shirt I got said " I ran a Frostline and all I got was this lousy T shirt"
gotta be worth something lol" "Yep this event is a joke, mostly due to poorly considered rewards.

That said, I got a +5 cruise missile hardwire on my second site. Of course the better the prizes, the less likely they will be to drop. If you aren't happy with the prizes, just go hunt other people running them and take their loot instead!

These things are just littering up my overview...in highsec. They're most certainly here - and in large quantity - but you have to get off the beaten track. Outside of pipes, in dead-end systems and less-populated regions, they're quite numerous, much the same way that cosmic sigs tend to accumulate.

I think I said earlier about the implementation of the sites, but they definitely got one thing right, the fun of them when combined with exploration. The removal essentially of unique items from survey sites when they wete redone always made me kinda down. Lost the charm. At least with these, every once in a while find something new and interesting. Found the catalyst serp skin the other day, permanent. Hell, it prompted me to get a catalyst which I never owned in eve yet. Yeah worth isk, but fun.
Found a 30 day one as well, so I flew to couster and gave it to a rookie... FUN!

Now actually sell that stuff for 2.8 Billion.... I seriously doubt you'll actually get anywhere close trying to sell most of that. Sure, if you run enough sites you will eventually get something decent. But you are talking well over 20 hours of actual play effort there. And a purely theoretical value on the items. And no proof that your results are even slightly the norm.
However sure, RNG is RNG. But the basic site drops shouldn't have had the T-shirts, they should have been a 'common' drop so run 10 or so and you should get one. But 77 of them is just silly.
It's nice to see that CCP have acknowledged some of the issue though. |

Imagine you are eating a cheeseburger, it is a decent cheeseburger, but in the back of your head you are thinking about that cheeseburger you ate a few weeks ago, and you just think that one was better. I have a really hard time calling that "tears" or "salt" Although some of the posts are more bitter than others, most of them seem pretty comparable to that.
Thanks for the list of drops. although at 2.8b it seems a lot of that is the MCT, the quafe zero would be a decent part, and then the rattlesnake bpc. I'm not sure how much the clothing is worth, there are a few bits that have similar expensive versions but are cheap, although there is also the possibility some are the expensive versions.
I still run the sites when I see them, but don't expect all that much from them. although CCP said they boosted the loot today so we'll see.
and yes getting out of highsec does seem to be the best way to find the sites. There are a lot in wormholes, and I've heard of a bunch showing up in null. Haven't been in low lately but I'd guess there are some decent spawns there, as there are a lot of out of the way lowsec systems.

You run these sites for the loot? Hmm, I run them for the comments I get in local.
Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

First couple days, I was getting an extra item every 3-4 sites, since then I run close to 30 sites in null and got just the basic stuff. Has the drop rate declined? Or, does the system you run in have an effect on the drop rate? Feels like CCP hooked me at first then put me on the cut stuff... |

Well if any of you bothered to read the first post I've ran all sites in wh space. I've add 22 more sites to my list. I've gotten 2 skins one serpentis hardener and 5 cloth items that aren't part of the standard drops. I've ran these additional sites since the supposed increase in drop rate. The fact remains operation frostline is a bust and in no way comes remotely close to as awesome as the blood raider event was. |

Just passing by to report that now the sites may drop PLEXes even in highsec. 
CCP Seagull: "EVE should be a universe where the infrastructure you build and fight over is as player driven and dynamic as the EVE market is now".

So far I've run around 12 of them (all in WHs) and each and every single one of them so far dropped utter junk.

This thread did not deserve to be resurrected from the bottom of the page.
This is a signature.
It has a 25m signature.
No it's not a cosmic signature.
Probably.

I finally saw one of these sites. I undocked to do a mission, and there it was. All I had in system was my mission Nestor, but I went for it anyway. Got shirts and quafe. Then, after completing the mission, and getting the next, I undocked and there was a second site. Did that one and got a catalyst skin, 80 mil, along with snowballs, shirts, quafe, and a booster. In high sec.

I did 5 of them in deep lowsec space, and gave up, realized you had to do 100s of them to get a plex. and then I saw on reddit someone got 1 plex after doing 400 of them. well, thats not good enough. whole event is busted and ccp failscaded totally here. |

Like a cloaky Proteus to the face :D Maybe it's more profitable to farm Frostline site runners instead of the sites?
