And now my joy is spent. Back to grinding...
Deliciously nutritious!
This just sad, is the event at least going to be left on thru all of January to make up for this?
Make up for what? Its not like they said it would be earlier than that. and it usually goes a little into January. The Event has never lasted a whole month in the past anyway, you are owed nothing.
Last year it was 2 and a half weeks.
Wait? Whaaaa..?
Y'all are getting an event that includes presents galore, a minor daily, and what is reputed to be one of the most annoying fights in the game, Clarence. You get all that for no additional charge. Apparently, there are even new costume pieces this year. And all you can do is complain because they're only giving this free stuff away for ten straight days??

"Okay, you're DEAD, what do you do NEXT?"
I agree that getting all tukus-sore over this event is a bit silly, though- actually, I think it's pretty stupendously silly. The event is a bonus; enjoy it while it lasts instead of getting all irritated that it will end.
Once something is older than six months it can no longer be used to criticize dumb whines.
Oh wait! I think the word "whine" is also older than six months. Does it get a pass due it's longevity like The Rolling Stones and their surprisingly good song "Doom and Gloom"? Do we have to invent new words to describe the kvetching over this? That will take a bit of time.
Or did you mean it has to be used more frequently? Like after every post about the game not being hard enough for some player's twinked-out freeform?
Guidance! We need guidance for without it our sarcasm is out of control!
Wait? Whaaaa..?

Why not to do surveys and free offers
All right let me rephrase/clarify things a bit. My initial post should have been much clearer and was expressing my frustration/disappointment with the companies apathetic efforts.
1) STO, COs sister game started it's holiday event a week ago and is running the event for 35 days.
2) The duration of the CO event has been shortened down to 10 days. It was closer to 3 weeks before this.
3) Since CO has barely any work/content being released currently, extending the holiday event duration to match/exceed what STO is doing would be a way to garner some good will for the company that would cost them nothing and give the players something extra to do for a while. Just my thoughts on the subject.
Then i say we get the pitchforks and get them to extend it! Course that would mean they would have to actually read our comments.
True enough.
I suppose you don't mind that products are getting smaller while prices stay the same? Like, I remember buying X oz. of soda for Y dollars. Now I get X-4 oz for Y+1 dollars. Oops. I guess I should just stfu, according to your logic, and just be glad I am getting anything at all. Please sir, may I have some more gruel? You really need to re-read what you write before hitting "post". :rolleyes:
Here I was, getting worried.
And to follow on to the STO thing, its event has to be longer because you have to do the daily mission 25 times to get the new starship (which looks pretty useless to me, but some folks just Gotta Catch 'Em All, you know?). It's usually not that hard to get whatever new freebie is offered in CO.

'Caine, miss you bud. Fly high.
This thought occurred to me as well. That said, I wouldn't have minded it at two weeks.
In other words > stop fanboying, please and open your eyes to the truth.
# well and raptors are most likely, as it happened with takofanes, going to kill the entire event for melee players.
I hope clarence is as strong as last year, maybe he can kill the raptors with that big aoe thingie.
I saved some of clarence's robot parts you get from defeating him and took the time to actually run the robot factory thinking it would be the same like I did previously, thinking it would be the same run on another character since I saved the parts on more than one for keepsake.
I changed the color of the text if it would help as to hide things, not sure if it will. So don't look if you don't want to be spoiled.
While the core of the mission is the same, there are new cutscenes added with black harlequin while inside the factory.
There is also the use of a new final boss and from my experience it starts off similar, but then comes the change. Do not attempt to take on the factory by yourself unless you have good healing and are able to work yourself in a tank role and possibly have a good pet to assist. I won't ruin it further on that, but think what that might mean.
After about nearly an hour of a fight since I soloed, I was awarded a new costume piece which I do have now and it is unlocked, and it seems the first time you get them auto unlock without them staying in inventory. So possible bind on pickup.
You can also run the factory now up six times a day from just one last year, therefore you can possibly run it 60 times total for duration of the event if it lasts ten days and down from a little over 15-17 last year.
I like the fact of what they did add into the game as far as the q store goes meaning I can finally get snowball roll and the fact that devices are in a way more available for the right q, gives a reason for them to increase in value in getting the resource for now.
So now I only have 10 days to gather a team to run through the 3 hardest and least popular lairs in order to get my unlimited mistletoe...
Challenge accepted.
Well I never did the run for that last year and if you're looking for any takers I wouldn't mind a team up I have plenty of 40s that are ready for the event, probably like everyone else does.
Store mistletoe in an SG vault (It must be SG) when its about to expire, that stops the breaking of it, when withdraw one piece from the stack, and the single piece will reset timer, than withdraw the rest, and they go onto that stack and have a new timer.
Also you should note, you can actually complete that perk any time of the year, there's no system check if the event is on. just that it's assumed no one ever obtains mistletoe outside of that event. then you can just withdraw it when you are going into a lair, so you have all the time in the world.
Finding people is still a different story.
That's useful to know
Thanks.
Shush you!!!

LMAO - Thankfully I wasn't in the middle of sipping any beverage. I learned a long time ago not to drink beverages while reading a CO thread.
Comedy lurks within all CO threads.
I could be wrong, but I expect to see as someones sig in the near future. LOL
I was doing that last year, in my hideout, to "keep it fresh" and then all of a sudden it just got stuck. Could not move it to my personal bags or use it or get rid of it. Nothing. So my Valentines Day surprise was over.
Then, one day in the middle of the Summer, I stepped into the old moon base and a bunch of messages appeared that said the mistletoe had "timed out," popped up. I checked the vault and { poof } gone.
The lesson here is, use it before it gets stuck. Or something like that.
I remember one of the PVPers who thought of the RENCEN as their best place to fight, posting a wish for a shortened event, but I don't remember any other requests for a shortened GrandFather Winter Season.
I dont have anything against pvp or pvpers, but wanting events to be shortened because they use an area that they want to duel in is pretty selfish when they can duel anywhere.
The space was intended as a social hub not a dueling centre, the fact they use it as such doesnt change that fact
I agree.
While I do appreciate the new content, I think the bugs that have been plaguing this game for quite some time NEED to be fixed... like, you know, as soon as possible? I understand that the glitch with picked-up objects turning invisible is a minor nitpick, but honestly, it's these little things that are the most annoying because they're so easy to spot.
It's been several weeks now since I've last logged in and I noticed the issue is still here... is this being ignored or what?
Id say probably being ignored, there are bugs still there that have been there a year *cough*biselle*cough* (they even announced it was fixed but the fix they made was to a part of it that want broken to begin with, ignoring the actual bug!)
I cant comment firsthand but ive seen people say there are bugs still in game that were there at launch over 3 years ago!
That concerns me. They should at least make the effort to acknowledge the bugs exist and are in the process of working on them, or admit that certain things can't be fixed and therefore should be removed or otherwise revamped. These issues shouldn't linger, or at the very least people shouldn't be left in the dark.
I would like to offer a review/feedback for this game, but at the moment with the issues surrounding it I feel like I won't be able to provide a fair write-up, which is why I'm holding back and watching things unfold instead. But if what you say is true about bugs occurring since at launch over three years ago is true, then I'm afraid there's no hope for this game after all.
Yes, this is why i said it must be SG Vault. The player's account hideout is different to the SG vault, this is now easier to prove with "bound to account" devices/gear
SG vaults and hideout vaults are different enough that using an SG vault to store timed items will not be stuck or vanish. The hideout will run a check on stored items as you enter the zone. as shown by messages upon entry. the SG does not, as it's not location
