EVE General Discussion

I've found a Cynabal skin. This post is beneath you, Arthur. Stealing wrecks is part of normal gameplay. So is racing people to clear out sites and finding SKINs, what are you complaining about that isn't a core factor of other PvE?

SKINs plus accelerators is always going to beat out just SKINs, but CCP seem to be rationing out accelerator handouts to around every 3-4 months or so. The last one was the freebies over the winter holiday so the next one should be around Easter, give or take.

Thinking about it I'll bet on something Guristas themed, since we should have the new Caldari ship models out at that point, and releasing new SKINs for them would be a good way to get people out and going pew.

Are you sure you're not making a cultural assumption? Or perhaps trying to impose a hierarchical relationship that's not justified?

Everyone who has the right to post to this forum has the same right to an opinion as the most experienced, ISK-richest, or most spectacularly dishonest EVE player (a few examples of what "highest status" might be in EVE terms). It might not be fair (you'd expect CCP to prioritize the player with the largest number of paid subscriptions), but compared to the game itself it's good enough.

There's certainly no basis for filtering based on poster aggression or rudeness.

The event is the same as the previous events which is fine, but without a valuable reward ... so this will be the first event I will miss (at least from the PvE part). Just collecting tears by sniping the skin is not enough, and the novelty of skin collections wears of after the Amarr event.

I will grant you that the competition aspect is probably the most enjoyable.

I had a similar experience when I sniped a Nyx SKIN, but you know what? I just chalked it up to the guy being frustrated and left the Nyx SKIN for him in a contract for 1000 ISK. He actually emailed me back to apologize - and that he couldn't believe I would do that for him. Turns out he'd had site after site sniped all evening and just lashed it - which I completely understand. He earned my respect by sending that email.

Sometimes the most rewarding experiences in this game have been when you've done what's least expected.

I'm just saying that there have certainly been better variants of these events, and that this one falls on the lower end of the spectrum. This is just my opinion - no one is under any obligation to agree or disagree. And if you're in the group that is enjoying the event, more power to you. o7

It's still 3 PLEX for $10 off.. the skins are a good deal because they basically come free with that..

Oh I see what you mean. Yeah that's awful buy the 3 PLEX pack instead

They always want too much for their NEX or Aurum or whatever.

Nah, I don't disagree with this. As these events go this one seems to have about the least variety to it, and is very cookie cutter.

That said, I don't think it's a bad event or that they shouldn't have done it unless they could put more into it. Even if they added 3-4 more site setups or spawn configurations that'd get me about 2-3 more hours of interest out of it.

Also I love the idea of a sort of Gurista's easter event just for that pun... xD
