Very nice!!
Cool, this is an hour after work is finished.
Looking forward to it, and good luck LESIG.
Awesome!I'll try not to miss it..
I'll try to make it.
Im real excited for this maybe we can get some more Smith Candy and Malphas can show up and RP with us like he did at the Effectuaters Party on Vector
Oooh! Vampires would be so spoooky!
I may have to attempt to wake up early to attend this.
In retrospect, I should have spent those 2 hours leveling instead. The scavenger hunt aspect was cool. The "treats," not so much.
What were the rewards?
1 SSR gum, 1 smith firewall candy, 7 anniversary cookies, 6 smith rage pills for those that completed the entire quest. The "winner" got 10 of each pill and a blue sky hat/shirt.
The thing is that the attendence was practially nonexistent, and those of us that bothered to show up... well I can't speak for everyone, but I know at least 75% of the people there have a ton of rage pills, cookies and such we've farmed over the years. I have several hundred from Brewko trivia alone. Many players have in the past noted that these "prizes" were completely worthless to players who already had them, when they were given out as endings of Machine events as a substitute for perpetuals or FM1500s. I don't see why LESIG thinks they'd be popular now, and I saw many people who apparently shared the same opinion as me tonight going "boo I don't want your smith rage pills" in area chat, in addition to the conversations I was having with friends.
I'm not being negative for the sake of being so, but I hope LESIG at least read this feedback because I know several people who feel the same way.
Yeah, I would tend to agree. I understand the fairness aspect of giving them to everyone at machine events, and thats swell, but I'd say the market has been well and truely flooded with them now and their value, both in selling and keeping, has depreciated on VECTOR at least, oh and a year and a 8 months of no opportunities to win the prized weapon of the machinists is a little long.
Returning back to the topic at hand, I was a little annoyed I missed the start by an hour due to forgetting that daylight savings affected Mega City Time. Hopefully I'll catch one of the other servers events.
