The Jackpot weapons can't be traded no more, why you have to put EGO rating on it? :mad: :mad: :mad:

Nice little gotcha by Trion isn't it?Quote:

With all of the bad feelings that have been created by the buggy release of expeditions you would have thought that they wouldn't want any more reasons for people to get upset.
Trion was aware of the problem before-hand, that's the reason for the non-tradeable gifts in the first place. However, instead of fixing the claims before the event they did that patch job because they said that the people who would work on it were busy with alcatraz. Apparently they had some free time before alcatraz released.Quote:

Trion: oh you paid for extra characters? Sweet, sucked in.
I actually think they do want older players to get upset and leave the game since its obvious that their servers can't carry the load. That's probably what they understand with " fixing server stability ".Quote:

Pushing people into buying character slots just two weeks ago and now making them useless. This is corporate greed at its finest.
Can't wait for a dev to show up and telling us that this is for the good of the game
All f2p pull these tricks eventually.Quote:

I can understand that it sucks it not being mentioned in the Patch Notes at all, I was surprised as well when I saw the first thread(s) on the forums.
Also, the presents are, like their name says already, presents. Originally, Halloween and Thanksgiving didn't even give presents, Christmas was the first time we had them. They were in no way obligated to give us anything for free, and yet they did.
And now people first are crying that they can't trade presents anymore when some people farmed them with 5+ accounts and got ~20 jackpots with each event, all Ego 5k+. Now you're crying they fixed an exploit most of you kinda liked and abused, or even better, cry about the presents they got.
It's something for free, and yes, I can understand the frustration not getting anything from Arkfalls (2 Weeks farming Arkfalls non-stop brought me one whole jackpot weapon from Majors, so yes, I know what it feels like. Some have received none at all, which is probably even more frustrating). My weeklies haven't been what I would have liked either, but I know it's something free.
What I do agree on is RNG being sucky, giving out jackpots from majors to the same people all the time while some are just unlucky. I also agree that the non-trading thing now that the claim bug is gone is a bit stupid. What I do not agree on is some people whining they can't abuse the system anymore.
So you can buy arkforge... Next question
I just bought 100 bucks worth your welcome trion :) THANKS FOR THE FREE STUFF THOUGH!
See its all about give and take. you give me named's I want, I'll give you a portion of my paycheque.
Better than the RNG lottery where i get Garbage anyways.
If you spend it now they can't tax you later eh?Quote:

Now everyone has to play the game the same where every toon is unique.
You're so right--what with Trion giving everything you need to play the game for free and all. How incredibly greedy of them. Can't believe they'd pull something like this.
OR.......is it the players' greed for tons of named weapons and shields which they can trade for whatever they think they're worth and or that they can spend time on the forums and zone chat bragging about who has the most <whatever>?
Take a step back and look at the situation before you answer that.
Like I said they warned that this would happen eventually. Have to have ways for them to make money or we wouldn't have to worry about playing this game. It wouldn't be around for long, plain and simple.
All I hear is "free" and "presents" but I don't really get what you mean? Am I supposed to pay every time I receive a weapon, mod etc? Am I supposed to pay for every minute that I play this game? I have purchased every available retail edition and dlc. I have spent money in the bit store. Nothing I do in this game is "free".
An honest company tries to make money by adding value to their product. Trion is just trying to milk us every way possible.
But you CHOSE to spend all that you never HAD to. I also chose to spend money. Bought the ultimate edition then just dropped some more on expansion slots. I'm not crying about it because it was my choice to do so. Trion offered me (and everyone else) everything I need to play their game for FREE. Just because you don't feel like you should have to pay for all the extras doesn't mean you're right. I don't feel that I should have to pay taxes but I do. I do it so my garbage gets picked up and my roads get repaired, etc. if no one pays taxes then all that **** we take for granted literally piles up. Too many people are taking Trion for granted here. How do you expect them to keep the lights on with no income? So you've spent some money. Good. Spend some more to get things faster to r so it the slower FREE way. Your choice. But don't whine about them offering a faster way of getting what you want or more addons (slots,toons etc) at a price.Quote:

Well played Trion, fix the rng and people won't want to exploit the game.
You guys don't know me so don't try to tell me why I am angry.
Trion made it virtually impossible for me to get the one weapon I wanted when they made the weekly pulls untradable. I had to rely on a broken RNG for that so I did everything I could to max my chances.
If you think that this makes me a cheater or thief or whatever well...
The problem here is that the prizes being untradeable SCREWS the rest of us getting something new for our main characters. I've pulled two weapons I ALREADY had with this character. And I don't even HAVE very many unnamed weapons to begin with. But i cant trade them or sell them to earn scrip to get something I don't have or even give them to a friend. I'm stuck with useless weapons from the boxes which were implemented to all but GUARANTEE that the people who did their share of participation were able to receive SOMETHING for their effort if the arkfalls shat on them.
So now Trion is sh*tting on us too and may as well remove the weekly reward altogether if they arent gonna make the weapons tradeable. This whole event I'd like to come out with at least one new weapon from the weekly "reward." Whether its from the box itself or being able to trade or sell it for something new.
Sell or trade the weapon you already had. Problem solved.Quote:

Ah but now you have to go to the bits store and take a chance on the same crappy rng and buy a box.Quote:

The rest of us? Who is us? Not me. I've never done the low ego collects good weps and high ego claims them thing. But only because I didn't know I could until recently after reading these forums for the past few months. But by your rationale we should never get duplicates of any kind because no one wants them. Further if we do get duplicates then they should be tradable/sellable for the almighty scrip.Quote:

Well if you can't sell jackpots anymore then there's no need for tons of scrip for this stuff. If scrip can be used to buy other hot commodities like boxes for gear and reqs (who knows...it could happen) then people will be saving their scrip for that instead. Why would you pay $10 million for a gun when you could buy something else that's just as needed for much much less?
Even if they don't allow reqs to be bought with scrip the prices will drop--but not at first. First they will go up if no t continue as is. But then when the trading/selling of old guns is gone and newer guns get introduced that can't be traded then there's no jackpots on the market. Mods might increase at first but mods are dropping like crazy right now. They may always drop like crazy from now on who knows?
So farming will have to be done the long hard way now and stuff will be more difficult to come by and people will be less willing to part with what they've farmed so hard for. Now people can focus less on exploiting and more on shooting.
To be honest if I'd been around long enough to do the multi-toon gear farmer thing I probably would have too since it didn't seem like Trion minded all that much. I mean nobody got banned or anything so why not? But they're no longer willimng to turn a blind eye and this results in some changes to how people play. I'm sure someone will figure out a way to make scrip off this--there's lots of smart people who play the game.
Trion says oh btw there's arkforge in the bit store just buy it to upgrade your low ego jackpot weapon!!
Could someone remind me why jackpots were made untradable in the first place? Did anything good come out of this at all?
Very few people got jackpots they are happy with. The economy got blown up to the point where prices have doubled if not tripled.
This whole idea was a disaster for us players. For trion on the other hand...
Having low ego jackpot weapons encouraging players to exploit coop maps to get more arkforges!
LOL Read your post again. Hahaha. Here's a summary:Quote:

You do realize that random is not equal to guaranteed right? This is exactly why people are complaining--they don't think they should be randomly not given stuff like others are randomly given stuff.
If you want to do it quickly. They also say just earn it the old fashioned way but it will take longer.Quote:
