EVE General Discussion

When i bought em, i was under the impression they survived Pod death. RE: http://eve-search.com/thread/1570396/page/1 and many other threads.

However, i was recently podded lighting a t1 cyno frig and whooosh! no mone speed goggles!? I petitioned and was told it was an "Intended game mechanic".

So, with these new mechanics i think you've actually managed to put off one of the seemingly few supporters of nex, i have no use for nex **** that'll vanish with my pod - i'm not a carebear.

Do an in game item search. They should show up.

That's awesome, you sir just made my day!

Also it seemed you got trolled by CCP, always a good thing!

Yep, thats what i get for having a little faith in ccp lol

I mean really? You flat out say Indestructible, all over the forums, and then reverse that silently? I really hope you expect to refund everyone who bought them on the premise that they were indestructible as you claimed them to be, And don't mean just reimburse the goggles i mean reimburse the PLEX originally used to obtain them because there's no way people will buy any NEX items that they cant freely use - this stuff is effectively useless... even in vanity terms.

Destructible = good.
pack of 50 or more at current AUR cost = better

With the lore of the EVE universe in mind, it is completely idiotic for them to survive a pod pop. If CCP implemented this then it is a lore sound decision.

EDIT: Did the goggles show up on the kill mail in the list of destoyed items?

That sounds like a bug. They should either be there, or gone, not partly one way and partly the other. If its still that way after a down time, bug report it. Screen shot yourself in CQ with them, and in re-customization without them, and describe how they got bugged.

Your attitude of "Ill not use it if it is destructible" it exactly why CCP made them indestructible. Or as I prefer to think of it: Your clothes are stored in the pod, and when the pod pops, a scan of your mind and your clothes is made, and both are reconstructed at your clone station. In other words, your worn clothes are destroyed when you get podded, you just get free replacements.

Yeah, i really dont care what RP/Reasoning they make up to describe the mechanic, I just paid for these under the impression they wouldnt blow up - and now they do. So i should be given a special pair that never die - like the ones i PAID FOR - or you give me back my money.

RP/Reasoning: You're a ******* store and are illegally making false claims about your products. CONCORD should shut NeX Down, liquidate their assets and reimburse those who suffered losses from your scamming business model.

If the NEX item is in your cargo hold it can very well go *POP* and make an interesting line on a killmail . On the other hand if you are wearing the item it should reappear on your character when your medical clone is activated.

Have you tried playing with the recustomization feature (The mirror in the CQ or the button on the station panel) and see if you can "remove" the goggles and have them show up in your inventory? I would do this and update your petition with any information you find to help sort out the problem.

I still see them on your avatar's portrait so it appears that you are still wearing them even after the pod loss. Although I haven't looked into your account so I can't tell you if that is an old image, new one, or a glitch. The GMs will be able to do that for you.
