Trailblazer Resupply | Community Goal Update
- Thread starter Phil W
- Start date
Didn’t an engineer recently stop accepting new visitors with no explanation why? I remember something on the galnet..
I strongly agree that CGs need a more stable structure with fixed reward tiers based on absolute contributions, not just percentages. The current system, where extending the CG shifts the goalposts and risks nullifying the effort players invest due to relative rankings, feels unfair and demotivating. It undermines the hard work many put in, especially when the criteria for rewards change mid-event. I hope the developers are closely monitoring this feedback and will reconsider their approach to CG extensions and dynamic goal adjustments. A more transparent, predictable system with permanent reward thresholds would respect players’ time and dedication, fostering a more rewarding experience for the community in my opinion.
So, this is why I went back to finishing out my trailer parks...
Aww, and I was hoping to get those sweet, sweet TARDIS cargo racks this week!
But it's exhilarating seeing Panther Clipper II traffic outnumber Cutter traffic 5-to-1; has to be the most successful new ship launch ever!
No there are at least 4 others besides me as I have seen that many around the station as I was making my way in past the guns in continuous salute.
Instead of adding credit rewards, you should add an additional 2 sets of the cargo racks.
Frontier, when adding new tiers like this, it would be great to add some solid rewards to it as there was some expectation of the early ending. Now people may need to do more to maintain 75%. This is especially cruel if there was a special top 10 reward, but it wasn't the case for this CG.
In this case if you added an extra pair of cargo hold rewards to "contribution above 1", you'd be compensating everyone that may lose top 75% due to the tier extensions. Of course people may still want to keep top 75% for what would become a 3rd set, but that is an entirely new situation benefiting everyone.

They used to, sometimes.
and created copious amounts of salt and outcry.
Indeed.
Now the moving goalposts are doing the same thing.
I sometimes (almost) sympathise with FDev, nothing they can do will avoid an outcry from someone...
Maybe that's because, in general, gamers seem to be whiny crybabies that are never satisfied with anything no matter what. Just a thought.
There is that.
Of course, any large group of people will have some people who don't like any given decision that is made, while others think it is okay.
FDev don't seem to help themselves though, the way they go about things leaves much to be desired most of the time - although they do seem to be improving slightly of late.
If they wanted to guarantee the CG wouldn't end early, they could have made the final target impossibly large in the first place, rather than adding extra Tiers in after it started.

They could. They have this tendency to underestimate the players.If they wanted to guarantee the CG wouldn't end early, they could have made the final target impossibly large in the first place, rather than adding extra Tiers in after it started.
On the other hand, this kind of CG has a track record of getting extended, plus it was not only announced for four weeks, but also removed the usual "If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately" disclaimer. It was absolutely clear from the moment the CG started that it would not end early.
Or, as my friends the Vogons used to say: "There is no point in acting surprised about it!".
The last bit of the "if it ends earlier yadda yadda yadda" hasn't been in place for a while now.
As was pointed out to me (and rightly so) when I complained about them increasing a Tier in one of the last CG's
