has anyone else checked this out on the test server and agree the rewards are all completely worthless?
>useless booster >useless amount of plex >slightly darker version of the generic tengu skin
dont see much of an incentive to actually try and go out of my way to do the ... erm tasks i guess. |

for additional "luls" if anyone had not previously checked sisi, the rewards on sisi were actually better. ccp removed some of the rewards, you originally got 5 plex for the final plex reward, not 4.
.......
seriously, 5.

does not appear so, cant slide the rewards bar so i dont believe theres anything above the tengu skin. |

if youve viewed the skin its just the regular tengu skin but slightly darker. i doubt it will end up being worth much.
the point of the event is to grind endlessly for embarrassing rewards, youll likely have plenty of time to complete it. |

I haven't had any issues yet that I had a few days ago on sisi.
Only two I have left is t3 cruiser which I can't fly. (So I basically have it stuck there) And the battle cruiser Sig one. I've done SIG's but I have not actually scanned down a signature in the BC itself and complete that same sig. |

in that case it must be the same team behind rogue swarm. oh look 1 plex drop after running 50 swarm sites, just 499 to go. |

dont see much of an incentive to actually try and go out of my way to do the ... erm tasks i guess. Dude it's free things just playing the game. Do I agree the boosters should be maybe packages of 3-5, yes. But just doing normal gameplay (usually) you are rewarded.  If NPCs had Plex in the drop table maybe. CCP is desperately trying to lower Plex prices only they haven't done a single meaningful thing to achieve that. 1 Plex for 2-3 days of this event is embarassing even by their standards. Throw a 100 Plex drop into faction spawns loot tables as an ultra rare drop. Problem solved. Why waste time trying to get people to follow these timers for two weeks and accomplish nothing. Faction spawns are dud drops 9/10 times already. It's time to buff them. |

Why is this for new players tech 3 ships and battle cruisers ftw? So if you don't have the skills for those ships go pound sand. Sweet I guess CCP opted me out of this one?
CCP stop awarding 1 PLEX it makes you look like morons. No one wants 1/500 of one month of game time as a reward for anything other then logging in. You want to give me 1 PLEX a day for a login bonus i'm down but if I see 1 PLEX as loot again i'm trashing it. It makes you look stingy and is a big screw off when players figure out the drop rates of your 1/500 of one month of game time. Just give out something else give me a booster or some valuable skill book stingy PLEX is not rewarding.
Lets do the math on that so for everyone involved can see.
1/500 = 0.002% of one month 1 PLEX = 1.44 hours of game time on a 30 day month (720 hours).
Weak Sauce.
Not to mention the commodities markets are getting beat because their is a flight to safety in the new PLEX denomination and vault changes. This has caused a defacto reserve currency outside of ISK (PLEX) and thus tethering your game currency to your reserve currency (PLEX).
This creates two problems CCP selling PLEX for dollars so this reserve currency cannot crash otherwise this will cause CCP loose profits. You cannot exercise control over the market like a central bank because your profits are tied to the dilution of the PLEX. Players are hording them being the safest asset to hold because of Plex Vault changes. This causes the price to climb without much of an end in sight except the occasional crash i'm sure. The other problem is when PLEX climbs now anyone that buys plex has much more leverage over the commodities economy. You would normally re-balance this would by "printing" currency however every PLEX you give is viewed by CCP as a Plex not sold ouch.
CCP you created a reserve currency that you don't want to manipulate without hurting your short-term potential profits. This will cost players potentially and CCP by extension. The problem becomes exacerbated when you don't want to dilute the market because your cannibalizing your profits (IE giving out 1 PLEX as loot) and this means your have no measure to stop the inflation of PLEX and deflation of commodities that is sure to come.
So in short ISK is not money anymore PLEX is and if your wallet is filled with ISK, materials, or any under preforming assets you will be losing money by holding them versus PLEX.
This just in a new position created at CCP an economist to help them not ruin their game.
See this guy gets it too. It was the same during the rogue swarm event, Oh look at that, I ran 200-230+ swarm sites. Give or take ten. Got 4 Plex to show for it. Plex drops during the swarm event were so worthless you were actually losing money over any other skin drop/booster drop.
The 1 hour of game time you get after 2 or 3 days of doing these tasks assuming they don't glitch and you can actually complete them is completely offset by the time required to do the actual tasks so in the end you're actually losing game time and the Plex reward itself isn't actually a reward. The net gain is less than 0 to anyone participating unless you happen to fly a tengu and really want a gray ship to have a gray skin that's slightly "grayer" |

The real tell here in all of this is not a single dev response, CCP radio silent in full damage control mode as usual after a glaring blunder.
Had a Corp mate log in excited for this event excited to go out and get 90 Plex as the first reward after he had finished the first 6 tasks the day before, we all sat silently for a few seconds before I whispered "uh you know if you hover over it you see you only get 1 Plex for accumulating the 90 points right?"
Room went dead silent with a befuddled "what?" Several seconds of more silence pass followed by copious amounts of cursing out CCP which was met by laughter from all.
He is no longer actively trying to complete tasks. |

Do I agree the boosters should be maybe packages of 3-5, yes. But just doing normal gameplay (usually) you are rewarded.  So why bother with the event. Why even waste the time adding it into the game, it's safe to say everyone in this thread is aware they can make more money doing literally every other task in the game. So what incentive is there to participate in the event.
Back in the runescsoe days you had a whimsical holiday themed quest, a unique holiday themed area, mini games and the quest itself gave out a non tradable item only available during the event. Collectors items inherently worthless but at the same time priceless. Not just a recolored version of an asset we already have in the game (looking at you project discovery) try making a new tattoo or facial augmentation or a unique outfit that isn't a palette swap. You want to make a grindy event here? Create a story arc available during the event duration. 10 missions, incrementally more difficult but reasonable for all to complete alone or in groups. Voice acted like the new tutorial, have some cutscenes and actual story for once. Everyone gets the item from the levels they complete right into their redeem box. Promotes group play right there, add a few bonus rounds that don't contribute to over all progress that diverge from the main quest and focus on pvp and back stabbing for some extra fun stuff. Cosmetic items, not junk skins, actual amounts of Plex, limited 1 bpc for an event ship that will never be given out again. Maybe have a competitive event after that an (In regard to the last event this would be an "infested cruiser, BC, battleship" hull with a unique skin and some quirky bonus that isn't broken balance wise.
Log in and complete menial task #___ for junk is pretty lazy. They should have spent the time they used for this event to fix something else.

since the devs have abandoned the old forum to answer yoour question ccp admitted it was a buggy mess and they screwed up bad and dont know how to fix some of the bugs with it atm so they extended the event. |
