News Skimmer Massacre Mission - Temporary Removal

[sedilbur]

Don't forget to empty Yamiks balance cart =) and all of his followers.

BTW no fixing for wing assassination mission ? haha

 

[Aashenfox]

Also, how about doubling the payouts on pirate massacre missions. 124 pirates for 6m? The phrase that comes to mind rhymes with duck and cough.

To all of you who think they fixed this because it was unfair to other players: LOL

The only reason they removed the missions is because some very smart guy decided to make a vid on youtube and post it on forums.
This "exploit" has been around long before Beyond. They tolerated it because it was not so popular.
Now that 30k+ people went there, it is a big problem, because if they make credits this fast, it only means they will discover that
there is nothing to do in this game because of lack of competition and quit it much faster.

Instead of making other ways of moneymaking viable, they nerf this.

BGS wants us to be rich.

It's alive!!!!!

 

[Curvemn17]

So we can expect the same level of promptness to fix the PowerPlay undermining big correct?

 

[Tempest Rising]

Oh it's all so your fault Yamiks!!

Wasnt it planed ? ^^

 

[Phoenix (AI)]

someone always ruins it for others

 

[jasonbarron]

Because this is the worst thing in the game ATM right?! =}

I could only wish we got such initiative to fix MULTICREW.....

If it's fun, count on fdev to be right on top of fixing it. If it's bugged multicrew, beige planets etc, wait between years----never.

 

[oscarolim]

If only the bugged guardian bases were fixed as quickly...

Considering EVERY exploit in ED is exacerbated by mode-switching/board-hopping do you think, rather than switching off every single part of the game the idiots start exploiting, you could perhaps... FIX MODE-SWITCHING?!?!?

 

[whaaw]

So accepting mission in the mission board is now considered an issue? or ist just an issue when you can make more than 1.25 credits /h with normal mission from the missionboard????

Going to make this quite clear.

Harassment of Frontier Employees will incur the full wrath of the moderation team.

Please consider what you post if you wish to continue posting here.

Thanks all

Sorry but as you can see for guardians stuff, mode switching is part of FD emergent gameplay now.

 

[BrownSeaPoster]

This was fixed quickly. Why not fix a lot of the other things in the game?

When will powerplay be fun ?

What about being passive-aggressive?

 

[Knite]

You can't earn credits in Elite whilst it is on the shelf.

How do you earn enough credits for multiple medium/large ships and the associated outfitting costs without dedicating all of your playtime to Elite?

Find a Gold Rush, otherwise you don't.

Nah. That´ll be fixed as quickly as they fixed the issue with FDL-weapons not working "as intended"... in a year or so...

Raise a bug report about it not being fun. That seems to be the appropriate way to bring these things up nowadays.

No mate, the skimmer spawn rate is totally different now and made this mission 3 times faster than in 2.4, dramatically increasing the potential payout.
