I suspect the "double reputation" from Elite is referring to the old level 60 dailies (faction rep), and has absolutely no relation whatsoever to what the game now calls "reputation" (vanguard rep points). Technically, Vanguard …

My money is on March 13th! (The clues are out there... but of course, anything could happen.)

(Quote) Just want to say, for whatever it's worth... this isn't really the problem. I mean, it feels like a problem when surface-level preventable mistakes are made in event rewards and other things, but it's not the root of the problem. There ar…

(Quote) It doesn't make sense because that wasn't the reason they cancelled the event at all. If it weren't for the server performance problems (caused by BHS's inefficient code), they would have left it running as planned.

I think the money question should be set aside entirely. In a free-to-play game, everyone invests their time, and that time is what the game makers primarily ask you to invest. Time is a valuable investment. It's also the only thing that 90%+ of …

I think people have every right to complain and criticize, but the way people go about it is often toxic. The problem isn't so much whether the staff will be offended or whatever -- I'm sure they're used to the bile by now. It's more that this att…

They already explained that the problem was CPU spikes on the arbiter servers, so it has nothing to do with where the BAMs spawned. It has to do with the overload of communication related to tracking the kills for everyone (which was happening both…

(Quote) I don't know the structure behind the scenes, but if it were just a matter of giving it to everyone who hit 500 after a certain point in time that's one thing, but those people could also have already gotten the prior reward tiers (so would…
-
Assuming it were possible to change the rewards like this on the fly, the problem is that people who already hit the 500 BAM threshold (even after the change) wouldn't be rewarded retroactively. Some of those people would have had the earlier tier …
-
I expect the reason is because the whole thing is just coded really inefficiently, and all the different tiers were like 10x different events all going on at once, each one doing its own separate callbacks and calculations. So when you're in a dung…

The news post said that the rewards are character-based. (Edit: Also checked it now, and confirmed.) The incentive to hunt more than 100 BAMs on one character would presumably be the increasing chance to get the frosty mantle.

(Quote) I think you perceived my post as more antagonistic towards you than I intended, and I'm sorry for that. I was not trying to derail the topic -- it seemed to me that you were complaining about the tone of the people on the stream, and I was…
-
(Quote) What is your point, then? You said that they didn't seem enthusiastic on the last stream, but it's production folk. They're not there to be enthusiastic on stream, but to deal with the day-to-day work of keeping the game running. That's …

(Quote) They seemed pretty earnest about what they wanted to do (particularly Singlebear's explanations, as someone who has been at EME for a long time), but they were production team people. Their job is behind the scenes and in management, not t…
