Current CGs - is this some kind of joke?

Not been paying attention to the current CGs so forgive me if I'm half a week late - but

  • Not one, but two CGs that rely heavily on re-logging?
  • Payout in the 9, even 10 digits?

Really, FDev?

What the heck is going on here? ? A social experiment? Employee responsible for CG design roped into EDO release crunch? A honey pot for testing logging mechanics? Someone at FDev losing a bet? To generate salt?

I don't get it.

I see the top 10 of one of the CGs yields 4bn. Four Billion.

Ok, only a handful of CMDRs will benefit from it but.. that's 1bn short of a FC. Something you're supposed to slowly save up to over time. I assume it's to give players a boost ahead of EDO but given you don't need credits for EDO specifically (unlike for when FCs released) I still don't see why FDev feel this is a good idea.

Maybe just get rid of credits altogether then, what's the point at this stage.

Oh and of course on top of all that we get some more double engineered modules. People will collapse of dopamine overdose if this carries on.

Dude, this is so jacked up it's a comedy. Data is one of the hardest things in the game to really come by organically especially early on. I can't stand re-logging so there is no way in hades I would hand in data to compete in a CG. The only possible way to do it is to re-log farm. They could not possibly have thought it would be done any other way right? And to pay people multi-billions to do it.

I'm currently at Jameson's crash site, just to see what the spoils are (been here once before). Just imagining how much re-logging is required to even get to the top 25% is making me dizzy. Are people really that desperate for credits? I'm actually not even signing up to this crap. Hope the CMDRs involved have a blast :ROFLMAO:

What's the point of dedicating several months on credit rebalancing and then coming up with CGs like this? Mental.

It will be 8 billion when it completes. And yes, I'm definitely laughing; laughing all the way to the bank.

By all means, if you enjoy spending most of the time staring at a loading & menu screen, that's fair enough - I don't really need the credits myself, and it's not that EDO seems to come with any high value assets either... and the Harmless/Novice noobs that I've been observing for the past few minutes who keep re-logging back into an Open session ... they'll be skipping the majority of the ship progression curve if they do a couple of CGs like this. It just makes me a little sad that's all... as I said, just get rid of credits altogether then and unlock everything from the get go.

There's no sense of satisfaction derived from the credit progression if the game just chucks money at you like this.

The part I like best, is how we're helping Winters fight against Federal surveillance by handing her gigatons of Unusual Encrypted Files.

Don't expect any of this game to make sense anytime soon, including the gameplay. Just try and get all the rewards and enjoy yourself whenever there's not a CG running.

The most interesting rewards in this for me would actually be the modules - and even then I wonder why I should bother as they're quite niche all the same and will just end up clogging up my modules storage. Not like I don't already have hoarding issues as it is!

I was taking part, I gave what I already had - then started grinding out data for the CG the painful way (no relogging). I did make top 25% and was very pleased with that result - this was very early on in the CG.

It very, very quickly escalated way out of my control to compete - I was regularly getting kicked out of the top 25%, in the end I gave up and the way things are going I’ll be lucky to finish in the top 75%.

FDev adding a new tier shows exactly where this is going to go, and it is overpaid - it’s just silly numbers now.

Yup. Only reason I'm participating is for the KWS. Not sure I like being compelled to play the game, especially when it's some brain melting kraut activity like Jameson's relogski.

It's all very whacky.

I'm currently sitting in my SRV at a safe distance, and watch the occasional logger plopping in and out of the instance - and sometimes a ganker Cutter (also logging in/out) ramming/shooting at landed ships/SRVs (he didn't get me earlier, came out of nowhere - likely logged into my instance - and I had a Cutter nose in my face...).

There is quite an amusing dissonance between the sophisticated Elite game trailers aiming for realism, and the muppet show I see in the live game.

I visited the Jameson crash site once on each account - drove around, scanned, left...
Been to Dav's several times... Still not got to the top of that mountain :devilish:
But this CG does seem to be a relog fest on a grand scale...


Which Data comes from the Jameson site again? Asking for a friend :ROFLMAO:

Think it's mostly G1 stuff, not sure... I've done a number of Dav's Hope relogs in the past, in part to see if I could get any ganking action (on the receiving end, that is).

I don't have any problems with people re-logging, it's just that this is not the first time FDev designs CGs that sort of ask for it. I might just go back ignoring them again if this is how it's going to be - for me the only attraction at this point is to meet some other players and taking pot shots at gankers (or playing cat & mouse), but I can easily get that at Deciat. Life's too short for the underlying activity involved and I hope FDev up their creativity when it comes to CGs when EDO lands.

Its almost like we have a spy working on the CGs sneakily making them the ones that need exploit or bug fixing.

Next will be collect Earth Relics or Unstable Data Cores. (legal ones)
Or heaven forbid they do a CG to collect Legal AI Relics or Anomaly Particles.
Now that would be funny :)

Thanks my friend - I couldn't remember.
