EVE General Discussion

I likewise did not receive what I was supposed to. I wonder if this was a miscalculation. I had some Ishukone's from before the mistake patch, which I have kept untouched. I also purchased two during the mistake patch deployment from some enterprising individual buying 100AU shirts and selling them to me for a few hundred. Those two new shirts I sold recently, but have kept the originals.

I am wondering if the system deducted those two I sold from my tally of how many Coats I am owed. And if that's the case, does this mean that someone else has been given my coats?

I have created a petition myself, but past petitions take 7+ days, so I don't expect to hear back for a while.

Edit: I am very pleased with the look of the coat and such. Definitely an acceptable replacement!

Yup, file petitions if you think you're missing something we did our best to make sure we had everyone covered:

CCP Navigator went over the eligibility criteria here:

Thank you, CCP Bayesian and CCP Navigator.

Thanks for prodding. I wait with bated breath :)

Also while you're here, I'm very excited about the ideas your team (if I have the right team) has for the avatar system. I realise a while off, but still promising!

An update for you all. With the reported info above I went off and spoke to the people who setup the redeeming. We made a very slight booboo in the initial redeeming offer in that the people who were supposed to get more than one coat to replace their shirts have only been sent one. This was entirely my fault for not being explicit enough in the instructions of what we need to do.

*hangs head in shame*

Good news is that as I'm typing this we're sending the affected players a new redeeming token for their remaining coats if they've already claimed the first one. If you've not claimed the redeeming token yet then we've updated the existing token to provide the correct number of coats.

Apologies for the **** up you may now commence the flaming!

That's a terrible attempt at flaming!

I won't do much better though. Got my missing coats, so thanks! Petition cancelled.

You should make the Marshall coats un-buttonable so that you can see what the wearer has on underneath it's comfy folds.

You are aware you still got the value of the PLEX, (whether used for game time or sold on the in-game market is irrelevent), for the value of that purchase price right?

Also, CCP isn't the first to do this, but the first to make ammends for it.

Dozens of games do this as a matter of course, and quite often, directly with what you paid for, rather than something you got as a free gift with that purchase.

I had it happen in another game less than 2 months ago when I bought an expansion and the developer released everything, (the content), in the in-game f2p store for less, within what appeared to be two weeks of the expansion release.

Mind you, the same didn't happen with some silly useless tripe item you got with it, but then that item was actually only usable on other players to their benefit and if you wanted the same benefit, you had to get another player to use one on you.

In all, considering each player could only benefit once per server with one character and each player who purchased the expansion could grant it 3-4 times per server, who do you think really benefited from it?

I'd have been less offended if I hadn't paid nearly 1.5 times what f2p players had it made available to them for, and anything compared to the VIP players getting it for free when it became f2p content after being released under the premise that it was a paid expansion.

SO CCP "fixed" this...

We still have bugs
the ui still sucks

But hey space idiot barbie here who paied massive RL money for some pixles got his tears fixed lawl.

How much fail...
