CCP Affinity C C P C C P Alliance 1808	Posted - 2016.07.06 18:15:07 - [1] - Quote Greeting Spacefriends, IGÇÖm here to update you on the Scope NetworkGÇÖs Shadow of the Serpent event and how itGÇÖs going so far. First I would like to mention that we really appreciate all the feedback we have received surrounding the event. We really value the time you take to talk about the events and we are listening and will be using the feedback to influence the changes we would like to make for the next event. We noticed a recurring critique was the lack of loot in the sites. While there are not many changes we can make to this event as a lot of you have already earned the containers (it would be unfair on those who have already earned a containers to now change the contents), we have been able to make a small adjustment by adding some loot to the battlecruiser NPCs that visit all the event sites. We do hope it shows that we are paying attention to your concerns and will be taking bigger steps to resolve them for next time, as our metrics clearly show the demand for events like these. I would also like to congratulate Kirev, who on July 2nd became the first capsuleer to own a Vehement BPC by unlocking the gold container via Scope Network Challenges. As more of you earn the gold container, donGÇÖt forget you can still continue to earn points. Five single-run Vendetta BPCs and five single-run Vanquisher BPCs will be available through the Shadow of the Serpent event. The top 5 highest scoring characters during the event will receive Vanquisher BPCs and characters placing 6-10 will receive Vendetta BPCs. The Scope Network will count the points on August 9th and announce the winners, but as of today the top 10 capsuleers with the most points are, in order: BUISNESSWOMAN Kamamdzava Tekerava Alen Asques DaOpa Muravey Virpio Zeraph Dregamon T4T4TOS DimS KosS Phytor Breaking Fast You have until August 9th to earn your place in the top 10 capsuleers list!

The Serpentis Shipyard one seems to be on infinite loop. Also be nice if missions didn't expire once started. Hate to lose progress because RL keeps me from logging in. Or alternatively, I also had the thought that a progressive system might work better for those with intermittent play and won't penalize someone who grinds missions out - progressive rewards. If a mission is clear 5 Serp Shipyards for 500 points, each site is 100 points. If I complete 3/5, it'd be nice to get 300 when the new mission resets. If I'm lucky I get an hour or two to play and it's not a lot of time for the reward thresholds. We decided to have the Serpentis shipyard one always available as a challenge so you could always guarantee points from that site. I would love to hear your feedback on that. I agree on the expiry, ideally we would have a way to remove a certain number of challenges per day that you did not want to participate in and the others would remain. This time around, we decided to have the 3 day expiry so no one would be left in a state where they had only challenges they didn't wish to complete or had tried and were unable to do. You're right, we definitely need to reconsider the multiple sites per reward. Thank you for your feedback, it's much appreciated.

For the past week since the beginning of this event I got 2 Drifter events simultaneously (Kill 10 and 50 Drifters) and this happened twice. It's not just me - you probably already seen those rant Reddit threads with 3 Drifter challenges. Any quick fixes incoming (at least make all Drifter events 24h) or we have to do something else instead of participating in the event? Also there should be option to forcefully cancel at least one challenge per day (hint: you can even charge ISK\AUR for additional cancellations) I agree, we should have provided an option to cancel challenges you do not wish to complete. The challenge allocation is entirely random, although I can understand how it would feel very frustrating to end up in a position where you have 3 challenges you do not wish to complete and your only option is to do them anyway or wait out the timer. Unfortunately, for this event, there will be no quick fix for this. However, I am currently working on a redesign and this is one of the big issues I will be addressing for the next event.

Um... standard NPC loot, NO chance for Serpentis or Angel faction modules? If so, this sounds suspiciously underwhelming, and not the treasure hunt I was hoping for. I don't expect faction modules to drop every time, but we need to have a chance to see an Angel / Serpentis faction commander NPC, that type of loot chance, to help drive interest on a per-site basis. it's a completely pointless change, but hey maybe next event will be better It would be great to be able to add high value loot, but as the battlecruiser NPC was not originally designed to have loot, they are in all the event sites.

I got two of these and thought, not too bad, Seekers are listed as a a type sleeper, at least when you right click on them and look at "remove from overview". So I went and killed one, and got no credit. What? I killed a sleeper, and got no credit? CCP Affinity, you can make the sleeper challenges much more acceptable if all sleeper ship types were counted. This is a defect, it would be great if you could file a bug report with the specifics :) For this kind of thing that seems very strange - always file a bug report as we probably don't know about it!
