Another happy hour - bugs or intentional?

If there is one thing that most players regretted, especially the newer players, 2006+, was not playing the game back when good stuff were in loot, like imk2.
We all got to live those days now, when epic stuff drop to relatively active players and the amount of crazy good weapons in loot is pretty huge. I don't think we could have had more for TWEN and the event just started....

Ofc not every hunter will loot a TWEN weapon, that would be ridiculous in a RCE, but many will so everyone should look at ways to improve their chances, fast!

U missed to add link to your sales thread...
 
Boy, youd think this thread would be locked by now🤣. i guess they wanna see how far this fiasco will last till we lose our breath and get to business as usual. Honestly, never been happier to have quit hunting and become an all time miner....Im sure if i was still a fulltime hunter id have a lot more to rant about this. I guess at this point all hope lies on Unreal eh?. The hamsters will always hope to get to the cheese no matter how far it is....
 
Pretty funny to see the person who got the glitched loot defending mindark and disagreeing with any complaints about it while spam replying.

Goes to show how bad the situation is, if it wasn't a huge problem they wouldn't even need to post trying to defend this. Every uber in this thread trying their same old tricks. Its not working this time boys

How is this a bug? still random just goes to whoever in the right place right time like any other HOF or rare, what you are really saying is I want them to meter any changes to loot table so more players split and you still get none or get it but less, everyone stuck on I want to have my cake and eat it also argument, loot should be even, except the HOF and rare I get.. then I want it huge, I will still cry and trash the game and any player who gets anything but me either way... ma should listen to me... Somehow MA supposed to not only make 0 profit but put money in so we can all have over 100% returns? So many real problems to be fixed and great ideas for EU.. but no we want to cry abut how the world has wronged us, ma sucks and everyone should quit... Great for the game right? accomplishes less than nothing just detracts from anything positive ever being accomplished.
Of all the issues I have with MA and EU loot has never been one of them, if it was would have left long time ago. Whatever the many layers of how MA balancing loot is. It is defiantly consistently the same... unpredictable with room to profit if you put the work in or some loss for the rest of us who just want to play the game and have fun, with rare random huge HOF and rare mixed in to give the hope luck will save us from ourselves. Loot is what it is supposed to be unpredictable and random while not robbing us all blind but robbing almost all of us a little lol.
Really annoys me though, put over a year of work and allot of PED into make armor set and all I get is players trashing me and crying over how MA updates loot when know one even knows when or if they ever will and it just goes to whoever in the right place right time if they do. Really we should all be ok with that even when we are not the one to catch it, just be glad MA did not keep it all, but we stuck on how they giving it back forgetting they could not give it at all lol.
Even more annoying... stuck on "its a loot bug" and who knows what other tin foil hat ideas while in this case the real complaint with pristine drops in loot most are clueless of, while I and a few other should be but are not crying about it, we all lost huge.... lets say you cycle 100's of thousands of PED and spend more on top of it buying pristine and materialists to make an armor set with a crazy good buff and ok defense, then this cool new TWEN armor comes out with better defense and almost as good a buff devaluing the set you put all that PED and time into. On the up side, probably why MA adjusted the drop rate, on the down side its worth less as a result. Players like me who had allot into it get to eat the loss. It Is what it is wont see me crying over it. Other than loot balance MA has an economy to manage as well, players get kind of mad you devalue there stuff. We all want great gear easy 2 get and priced well and at the same time want our stuff to be same or higher value than we paid with silly markup.. Just like loot not really possible, we cant have our cake and eat it to.
I happen to Love EU, MA been running 20 years and we still here, they not doing all bad. I want to see another 20 long as they don't rob me 2 much and game fun I will be here. We need productive constructive ideas and complaints we expect MA to listen. Maybe even not trash our own game and community chasing what we really need, more players away. Most of this tread makes me want to quit EU not because of MA but the players, Already have to deal with all the greed and shady silliness we get as a side affects of a real cash economy, do not need players trashing my gameplay and work to top it off, rather rude and kills the fun.
All that being said I am a mostly unstable old man who probably spent to many years in 3rd world country's to have much tolerance left for people in general, playing EU to keep me off the streets and out the bars what do I know. Other than you may want players like me putting money in the game and having fun, try not to chase us away with your sky is falling the game is rigged BS. Everyone with the loot anger must have a gambling problem, not that hard to profit in EU just more fun doing all the things that eat PED while ignoring the many ways available in EU to make PED. Almost like MA knows what they are doing, give you every chance to make or loose PED in every way but make loosing PED so much more fun and gaining it so much more work.

like many , you seem to miss the big picture . no one is mad at you , they are mad at the system and the constant fuckups of this company .
The amount of blunders and unprofessionalism should not be the norm in a real cash "game" .
Just because this "game" is a coping mechanism / addiction for you and you put up with this kind of service it does not mean that others will.
the whole development team look like clowns in every action they take and growing the players base is a pipe dream .

More funny to see myself understanding mindark pain and the silliness they learned to ignore, never though I would see the day. life full of surprises that's for sure.

This is cringe. No one even cared Vizz existed until they made it their primary focus to cup the balls of MA while they tell everyone else how much they didn't deserve something.

Imagine this happening in real life where 100 people are told to go hunt for something randomly dispersed all over a massive area. People all go different ways, looking high and low, and then an event organizer comes over and gives all event prizes to 3 people. That is literally what happened here. Pretending it's not a "bug" because of greed is disgusting. I honestly feel bad for every single big cycle on Cyrene who was waiting for something to finally go right for them in EU. It took me 10 years while everyone threw shit in my face, so I can empathize.

You know you can be a decent human being while also keeping items, right?

This was pretty clearly NOT intended. 2 rare items to one person is lucky. 8 to one person all at once is a malfunction.

Infighting just takes the heat off MA, which is where it belongs.

Please stop attacking each other. MA knows if they don't speak then we just start taking shit out on each other.

Meanwhile, in the rest of the world, loot percentages are starting to become regulated and requiring transparency...:rolleyes:

Any theories on why they want to keep it a secret?
The only logical reason I can think of is it would break the game because it's so poorly designed that it's easy to exploit once you know how it works.
There is no casino in the world where you don't know the rules of the game you're playing. Entropia is truly unique :thumbup:
 
Probably because on one or more of the following:
1) It lets them play god without any consequences in a real cash economy with real money consequences
2) if something gets messed up they don't have to explain what went wrong
3) They think obscuring the system makes people play more?

I can think of no real reasons for the lack of transparency with how the loot system works.

Money.

they know their system sucks and as we’ve seen can be easily exploited
 
I've been thinking about this thread for a few days. Loot has always been a bit of enigma in PE/EU. This isn't the first time something like this has happened and I don't have any ill thoughts towards the looters that it has happened too. I really looked at this as a bit of attention leading up to a big event on Cyrene. Loot is our motivation so when MA wants us to pay attention to certain aspects of the game its usually via loot. TWEN items pull our focus towards bot events and Lotus armor makes people pay attention to those instances. All of this is so we grind a little more and add more funds to the game. A lot of uber items come up for sale whether a person loots a new item to replace what they use or its just strictly for sale. For every action there is a reaction that ripples through out the system. A windfall loot is never unwelcome in my opinion.

Is it a bug or intentional? I cannot say but knowing it might happen again will make me rethink how I position my avatar in game or whether I give into FOMO or not. I ended up going to Cyrene just because it was on my "to do" list and have stayed longer because of codex and the event. There have been a few bugs but so far its been fun.
 
I submitted support case on these happy hours.

they said can’t comment, blah blah usual stuff then said “ but keep an eye on latest buzz page” ….

Take what you want from that 🤣
 
If they told people how the system worked and were transparent, it would be exploited more than it already is. People already exploit the system with the waves and that is just with what is glaringly obvious (which so many still try to deny) -- and they would never be smart enough to make it more resilient.. or they would have already.

Just watch where people are, when you know they have multiple accounts. You've got a couple people with multis, well known, farming cyrene event when previously on separate planets trying to loot TWEN items because the "wave" would tell you that they were next.
