EVE General Discussion

It's not to make the game dopey, it's because the raw blueprint information is important, so yes, if you click in the way the shows the BPO information, you get exactly that.
How much did you even lose? Was this even a scam or did you just find a random contract and buy a single run BPC at the single run BPC price?

Seriously, if you can't figure out the very basics and you're going to explode this badly about such a tiny problem you should probably pack your bags.

lol

Doesn't it tell you all the important info in the contract, or when you mouse over it?

I have bought a few BPCs in the past and Ive always known what I was getting

Yes, I can, and since I have at least a passing familiarity with English, what I can deduce from that is that the absolute max number of runs a copy of that blueprint could potentially have is 15.

Doesn't say a damn thing about how many runs a copy will actually have, however - just the potential max.

TL;DR: Learn to read.

Because somewhere at CCP a Dev is giggling his ass off at your impotent rage.

That's why.

So you lost nothing, and you are freaking out about it?

Yes, you don't bloody care. You. Some of us do care, which is why both sets of information are available.

Do I think it's important that they leave in the ability to look at the raw blueprint information as well as the specific BPC information from a contract? Yes I most certainly do. If they didn;t, rather than just being able to grab both sets of information with 2 different methods. If they made it so we can only get the BPC info, we'd have to go elsewhere to get the BPO info.

Or your parents could make a patch where they add a few extra IQ points to your genepool. That way, when you are in a position to lose a meaningful amount of isk, you can avoid the dumb mistake and we can be spared yet another rage filled thread where it's all CCPs fault for not catering to your exact specific needs.

Double click the contract. Actually open the contract so you are looking at the specific BPC and not the header for the contract.

Ok wiseass! Make a patch to write in the description (refers to Blueprint Original) or words to that effect, so that geeks like you can find out how many copies of a Blueprint you can make from an original, NOT the relevant info the purchaser of this contract wanted when they quickly used the Show Info button rather than clicking through the contract and then checking the details of said contract.

I said I made a tiny (yes tiny) mistake, due to the fact I was playing on and off and used a shortcut.

All I'm saying is CCP can make the game clearer without upsetting the geeks who wanna know all the bloody info of a BPO, while the people who wanna just get up to speed quickly get the actual relevant info as quickly as possible.

Fair enough!?!?

What are you going on about? Clicking the show info doesn't show a Blueprint Original. BPO's show on it "Blueprint Original". What you have got is the Hardcopy base rate BPC (Blueprint copy) as I have stated to you (and others too) many times during this thread.


Tiny, dude its right there in grey and white... You need to read it thoroughly. Just don't make the same mistake again. All the information is right there on the contract for you to see.

Or... they can leave it as is. It's pretty clear that the show info is showing you an original and not the copy, i mean it doesn't say "Blueprint Copy" at the top like copies do, it's a different colour icon and it has no licensed runs listed. If they said "original" that would be lying too, since you aren't looking at the original, you are looking at that blueprint type, not that blueprint item.

And the info that window provides isn't just the max number of runs. Learn a bit about industry and you'll realise why it's useful on many occasions to know type info.

yup, you did, and that was fine and if that's where it ended, that would have been that. But it didn't. You cam on the forums yelling about how this was the stupidest thing ever and telling us why it must be changed.

It's clear enough. If you open the contract the information is there. It's not provided in the header since that is telling you the type, not the item (see above). Why don't you just learn from this and not take a shortcut that doesn't exist?

Just for the record, in the context of industry, the "stupidest thing" is the material amounts when running a blueprint with materials that appear in both regular materials and extra materials on a character with less that max material efficiency skills.
