  1. I logged on the first day of the event, and saw that Phase 1 completion was ALREADY at 40%+, so I think you're deluding yourself that some people weren't participating. Some of us still have void keys that we can no longer use, and the event had 3 days remaining, according to the alert system.

     

    if you compare the speed at which phase 1 was completed with phase 2, the difference is clear as day, phase 2 just vanished in thin air like it was nothing(just goes to show how many more players started running it)

  2. and if you are talking about the games you host for us in the states... Of course you aren't lagging you are hosting it. When I host for my friends they lag like hell because my net isn't the greatest but I'm still perfectly fine because I'm the host.

     

    I've played with a few people in South America and Europe. It's like playing this game as a Jpg Choose your own adventure story.

     

    i don't host games outside south america region(if i do its private or i'm soloing anyways), i'm not saying i don't get any lag at all, but it seems to be 150-250 ping? thats perfectly acceptable

     

    on the topic of actual servers, id say p2p is cheaper which fits a company like DE more, plus p2p has one big advantage, if they had to buy servers, they sure wouldnt buy servers worldwide, they would buy them in North america, meaning that only players from NA would get good ping, p2p allows players from SA to get good ping when playing with others from the same region(same applies to others)

  3. This was a community event in which the community had to work together towards the goal. That didn't happen. Here's what actually happened:

     

    1.) All the big clans went in, wanting to act like Operation Heroes, and finished the Operation, taking away the chances of the community to get points.

    2.) See #1

     

    Honestly, it's the same deal with Defense Heroes. You've all heard of them, right? Those guys that don't stay at the cryopod/reactor and rush out to spawn camp, stealing all the EXP?

     

    Except instead of rushing out and stealing, not only the EXP, but you're taking away the chances for other players to work to their reward.

     

    what happened

     

    1) event started without any mod rewards announced, which resulted in only the players that wanted to help and the big clans doing the runs while all the others did only 1 point(at this point, no one complained, they actually wanted the big clans to carry them)

    2) mods were announced at phase 2, suddenly everyone got interested, not to help the community, but to help themselves, so they started trying too, sadly that meant they started one phase later and that the sheer amount of people rushing(that would normally be distributed among 3 phases) ended up being in only 2 phases, which caused these 2 to end extremely fast.

    3) QQ starts.(at this point people like you blame the big clans)

  4. The ending of this event was not clear.

    Those people who are whining are doing so because of that.

    If they knew the event would have ended today I bet they would have put more time into it.

    Usually they state the exact amount of days you have, Most of us thought this event would be 6 days long.

    Not to mention other factors in this event..

    I feel bad for the people who actually had to work on it, considering all the people who cheated.

    wait, what cheating?

  5. Snipetron vandal = 125 dmg

     

    Saw blade thing = 125 dmg

    If the saw blade thing did like 500 dmg THEN it would be good.

    but right now I see no reason to stop using my snipetron 

     

    from what i've read the miter saws can bounce of walls and hit more then 1 target, if its true it has great potential but requires better skill compared to just aim and shoot

  6. its true, but i still find it messed up to end an event which is "estimated" to last 6 days, is ended three days earlier. 

    i have never seen any game make an event that ends 3 days early. I dont even know why are people so against it. Its not like extending the event is going to affect anyone who has their points in any way shape or form. 

     

    i'm not personally against it..but i'm just trying to clarify here that DE hasn't really done anything wrong, if they extend it, good for those players, may they learn(hopefully) for the next events, if they don't, deal with it i guess, those mods will probably end up being avaiable later in nightmare mode 

  7. Even if so: Yes, you can run faster than 6 days, but did not specify how many of the phases of operations will be in the event, similarly as in the previous event Fomorian, and this led to such consequences.

     

    actually the arid fear video the corpus guy there  said they would be divided into 3 groups/flocks, giving the idea that there would be 3 phases, everyone went 100% sure on this once phase 1 ended and a phase 2 appeared.

  8. not free, but i kind of understand why people would be mad. the event is suppose to last 6 days but only lasted 3. If it was a 12 hour difference than i can understand, but THREE days!! thats a lot. 

    Then again i could care less, i aint doing this event whether its extended or not.

     

    see, theres the thing, it wasnt supposed to last 6 days, six days was the LIMIT we had, it was supposed to last until it was completed(or until the time was over, in which case we would fail)

  9. Why ended Event? After all, it was clearly written that last for 6 days.

    If this is the end of the event that I did not like it for reasons:

    - Event lasted almost 3 days instead of 6 as promised. (respectively, to the people that made ​​a schedule that is possible and not spend so much time playing).

    - Information about the awards on the forum mods appeared only in the last day. (from the first point, all players are excluded from the award.)

    Question: Why then was to write that event will last six days?

     

    it was said that we had 6 days before we would fail, never that it would last the entire 6 days regardless of result, we got 100% on all 3 phases ealier, meaning the operation is done, so why would it continue.

  10. I'm glad you used that analogy. I'm a student that needed all 6 days, but because so many people handed in their assignment early, I didn't get the other three days.

     

    except that every student has their own time for assignment, its individual and so is the time limit meaning that one shouldnt affect each other, meanwhile, the event was a "community event", it wasnt individual.

     

     i missed on the informer event due to work but i sure as hell didn't whine

  11. Yes a SIX day event that only lasted THREE days, sure it's not DE's fault for ending the event a full THREE days early, thereby screwing a lot of people out of a chance to get mods.

     

    While I only managed to get 54 points, (due to no one in my clan actually bothering to help me when I asked for help grinding out points) they should at least have allowed people to keep running the event and gain points till the allotted time that was originally planned for the event was over.

     

    Also introducing rewards during phase 2 of the event was a bit backhanded of DE, either they should have made it clear at the beginning there were going to be dual stat mods as rewards, or not added them as part of this event and instead just put them in the drop tables together with this 'loot tables 2.0' thing they are currently working on.

     

    Not their fault, if you wanna blame someone, blame the community for rushing it =D and even then, we were just doing the event like we normally should

  12. we were NEVER promised a 6 day event, they said we had 6 days to complete the event, that implies that if we completed it before the 6 days, it would be OVER(at least for me it did, thats why i tried to do a bit each day when i had the time)

  13. When we are promised a 6-day event, we need it for 6 days, not half of that. There is no reason why they can't have us still join these missions and get our points. For me, it has come to a point where these 'clan wars' are breaking the game for me.

     

    we had 6 days to complete the mission, it was never said(at least i didn`t see) that it would LAST 6 days, i always assumed it would be over as soon as we reached 100%

     

    @Rammiton

     

    if mods were dropped in the event missions it would be even worse, since they are RARE mods, the drop rate wouldnt be high, so you can bet there would be people grinding over 100 points and not getting all 3.
