Don't the announcements usually come out around noon ET? Might be time to take a snack break
Lol yeah I really wanna see what's coming next week so I can plan out this event too! Do I level for next week? Do i pile my Chrons into this galaxy? Or do i just sit and wait?
I think usually right around then. I usually see them on Fridays I work when I get off at 1300. So, I won't know until tomorrow, I guess. Leaving at 1200 for lunch.
There is such a "Requirement". If you skip the Galaxy Phase, you do NOT get the Community Rewards.
I think he's talking about the people who craft 1 batch for VP and then drop out of the galaxy part completely.
If everyone had that attitude, no community rewards as we'd never have enough points. Fortunately that has not been the case in many moons.
Well, they ARE doing something in it. What could DB do? Put a minimum number of Points for participating for Community Rewards? Tier it, so that you have to do MORE Points to get the higher Rewards? Not everyone would be able that. Some {especially new players} probably do all they can in every Event. It's just not as much as those of us with a much higher Chroniton cap can do. Or a good Fleet. Or a deeper wallet.
I think that as long as people do SOMETHING that is about all that they can legitimately require, really.
Oh yeah I'm with you, I was just clarifying his point. I don't really see a way for DB to do anything about it anyways. On top of that I really don't care if people 1 batch and drop. We have consistently hit all Community Rewards for quite a while. I recall an event when I first started where we didn't hit the final Community Reward, but that was a LONG time ago.
Voyages changed that to some level, mostly pre nerf... course that's why the nerfed em.
Two possibilities:
1. Everyone has this attitude, because Galaxy Events are awful. Outcome: Nobody gets community rewards for a while, then DB changes the format into something people actually want to play.
2. Everyone has this attitude, but this makes Galaxy Events easier, which some players see as an opportunity to do better than they do in other events. Outcome: Everyone gets community rewards, based on the participation of some. Those some are rewarded with increased rank rewards.
I'd say we're at a pretty healthy balance between Nos. 1 and 2.
(To clarify: among people who hold this attitude. Obviously there are others who legitimately enjoy galaxy events.)
What if everyone had that attitude?
Galaxy Events would actually be fun again. You wouldn't have to spend a fortune and throw chronitons and items down a bottomless pit while mashing your screen until you get carpal tunnel syndrome
Well, that's the way I look at it.
Don't bother, just let a shuttle opened during phase 1 come in after phase 2 starts. That'll give you VP gain, even if a loss, during phase 2 and get you rewards.
I'll be collecting community rewards with no crafting.
Y'all know by now I do......
You do know that some folks just save up chrons and play and thus are not whales in the event right?
There is a huge difference between winning (99% large marine mammals) and finishing top 1000...
PS Galaxies have been won by VIP0 players.
I kinda thought that was the point of the "players strike" last week.
Alas, the player base didn't hold firm against the powers that be.
I could do with a few re-runs of previous events where I wasn't strong enough to compete in last year (I appreciate many of you probably maxed certain characters in these events, but I didn't).
I know I will never be in the top 1,000, but really doesn't bother me that much
I prefer galaxy stages to Faction.
With faction you lose valuable crew for hours at a time and have to do shuttle missions for a faction you might not even need equipment for (like this one)
