Tile Set Reward

[Slurmageddon]

We're already at 53% at time of posting so can we now all please stop cribbing and biitching about whether or not DE would withhold the new tile-set ?

 

What we SHOULD be worrying about is whether we'll get it when the event reaches 100% completion (as I hope we do) or if we'll have to wait it out for 5 more days. Which would suck.

 

EDIT: WTF!? All of you are still QQing about nothing but the "withholding content is a $&*^ move" thing... that is NOT what this post is about. I don't care about the ethics or the business sense of withholding the tileset because at this point its fuckiIng irrelevant. 

We will not fail the event. No more QQing ! 

My remaining concern is WHEN we get our reward. Not if.

the update was 350mb big.. i guess the tileset is already in

[Hayden11121]

It's not whether or not we win.

 

It's the fact they want to withhold content when we are the beta testers and they are the game in beta.

 

 

 

If I am your best friend and I say "If you ever check out my girl I'll knock the S#&$ outa you" that changes your friendship.

It doesn't matter if it never happens, he still said it, and that will always be there.

 

It's kind of like that, in a sense. Vague and useless threats to prevent content from being released are the reason this event has been boycotted for many.

Stop whining and start making threads about people whining!

[Namacyst]

Maybe if we reach 100% by Monday they let the Event go in the second phase and this time with actual rewards? that would be nice.

[Trollin4ThePrimes]

DE need to learn holding back content will easily screw over their game and their chances at making money.  I really want to lose this event to show that we won't do things like this for stuff we want to do in the first place.

[Cinderain]

Then: "haha, we can't fail events, DE just gives it to us" "we need better/meaningful event rewards" "events should be failable"

 

Now: "o god qq, failing, meaningful, effort, so horrible"

Now: Events are in place for every content addition to even unlock the chance for a grind.

DE can do what they want and when they want. And if they want to make events that we as players are able to fail then so be it, it means that items they have desgined will have to wait its turn to be released. Yeah it would suck, but how about you stopped whining about it and started playing so the event wont fail.

 

Get over it.

[Antipremium]

But if it ends before the 5 days we'll all have so much QQ from people who "missed out"

You do not realize.

 

 

 

 

THIS IS A BETA GAME.

 

Preventing concrete additions of the game from being added is a terrible thing to go off of, especially for how little we have now.

 

If we have to grind to have fun, I don't want to do it.

The heck? When did the community start saying this?

So much assuming.

Events aren't the issue then. You know that.

Assuming?

 

We are unlocking the grineer tileset. Not the weapons, the weapons are in the tileset.

 

DE isn't even giving the privilege to give us a weapon, they give us the MAP to farm for the weapon.

 

Or, you know, buy it with plat because that's how this game does things.

[Cinderain]

Now, I may be mistaken, but I thought people were tired of weapons and wanted bigger content. When did it become about weapons again?

 

And you're assuming that every event from here on is going to unlock content. And that the new settlement is going to be boring/grindy.

This is a beta game... the community being forced to play to unlock content is absurd..

 

It's like they don't want us to test it.

[Slurmageddon]

That would make sense, but the interface to access it will probably only go in after the event. 2 smaller downloads instead of one big one.

Beta means nothing. When the game is out of beta, it's going to be in the same position. It's going to be updating and being fixed, constantly.

 

Now, I've played a lot of games... and I think playing to unlock content is... kind of a typical thing to do. In regards to testing, we can test it when we unlock it, they're not going to get rid of it. We're also testing DE's events, so that's fun too. Lots of progress, lots of tears.

Or they want us to test the process of unlocking content so they can do this kind of thing much smoother in the future. Lol

Or this!

[Lumireaver]

So in an attempt to rail this one back in, we were talking about when we'll see the new tile set?

 

I'm pretty sure after we nail the first 100%, we'll need to take the next two flocks on.

[Cinderain]

Nonsense, birds of a feather flock together. We'll get 'em all in one go.

[RahuHordika]

Huh, that explains why it's lasting 6 days.

 

I mean, at this rate it did seem to easy. But I still have hopes.

I think the rate which we advance the event is rather fast for a 6 days event. If we can unlock it shortly after the completion then it'd be nice. If not, it's terribad.

However, I still like the concept of using lore/content/event to weave the game. As for the game being in Beta and we should get access to it right now - this reason is already made invalid a long time ago. Frames and weapons in previous updates weren't readily available as soon as the update went live. You still have to farm boss for BP and wait for 3 and a half days to bake it.

I think DE is testing two things.

1. Is the concept of using event as a gate to new content is going to be accepted by the community?

2. Is the new content like tileset is enough to be a reward for an event? Or the community need a shiny reward dangled in front of them to do the work?

[Pro3Display]

the problem is not that reward is a badge, not that if we fail we wont unlock desert outpost

the problem is that you need to monitor for alert that is half usefull and has a chance to be a defence alert, that will take 20 minutes only to have 1 half of a key that will be gone in 3 minutes after it was used

u waste more time on farming event-key parts rather than enjoying event

farming xini for 20+ corruptors for 30 minutes to hang out on fomorians for 2 hours is one, wasting 20 minutes for half of a key is much different... and much worse
