It's still a grind and we probably cant get past the 20 hour cool down.
But seven days, playing content thats surely going to be infinitely more interesting, is better than 15 days chasing blasted mini Q's all over the place.
oh don't worry, did you forget about the new cooldown token were gonna be able to buy that's on tribble..
and I find it funny that keys are on sale, as we predicted they would be...
Since they released the blog entry about the anniversary event (without changing a thing,) there's no point in posting here. They're not reading for feedback, constructive or otherwise.

Actually, this thread needs to pick up steam, along side of people not participating. I am tempted to not even log in at all during this, myself. Those who oppose this change should make the first days of the event the worst for activity and participation yet. Give them terrible player numbers as that seems to be what they care about and are trying to boost. Then when they wonder why its failing, they might then actually look to this discussion more seriously.

Sure they are. They're monitoring it closely, for the sole purpose of knowing what to expect when the Spring and Fall 1000-item grindfests are added. :P

This... if we do nothing more than b&m on the forums, but then go off and grind these ships out on 1, 5, 10, or 1000 toons... the later will speak more than anything written here.
My 6 toons will not be participating. Its the principal of the thing.
Not only do we have to grind for this, we'll probably have to buy the Fleet Version (with no discount) for that fabled 4th set piece that will be coming out later.

Don't you mean the Lobi version?
Don't forget what they did with the Obelisk.
You're just a machine. And machines can be broken.
ya as long as we keep jumping the ring masters hoops then they will just keep on with this type of stuff
im gonna run the mission once, possibly another time for the consoles (if they work on other ships and not just on the new ones, and I hope they do cause that would be crappy.. rewards that only work for a ship that you might not want to grind for, or like).. and that is it.. I have no interest in the ships.. not only are they not canon (my thing, not saying it should be everyone elses), but they are fugly, and the juice isn't worth the squeeze..
I hope others help send the message that we are done with the uber grind.. a small grind here and there isn't bad, but long drawn out constant grinds suck.. especially when the means of obtaining the material you are grinding for is pretty lame..

you know what funny i bet season 9 new rep new fleet grind and that just a few months away? any one else think this to?
I like when ppl complain about "free stuff."
You dont want the free stuff, then dont grind for it
and we who complain love post like this and ask for free when you give a gift at Christmas do you expect them to go do something for you for 15 day then they gget their free gift or do you just give it to them???

Someone has missed the meaning of free.
Y'see kid, this isn't free. It has a price - 1000 Qmendations. And those Qmendations can only be earned at a rate of 40 per day, which means you have to spend at least 15 days doing the Party Patrol mission, assuming you got the 400 Qmendations from the new FE.
That means, you're working for a new ship. In which case, it's absolutely no different from putting it in the C-Store. Worse, in fact, since there are plenty of people who could grind out enough Dilithium for a top-end C-Store ship or the equivalent in Fleet Ship Modules in less than 15 days. And these ships aren't even as good as fleet ships (the advanced one will be, obviously, but that'll set you back 800 Lobi, mark my words).
Don't be confused. That you don't put up cashy money for this ship does not in any way make it free.
You're just a machine. And machines can be broken.
Guess like so many others I'll not be getting these ships. I simply have way too many toons (20) to make it worth my while. I'm well aware that I don't HAVE to collect the ships on ALL my characters but I WANT to. I should be able to collect any ship I want on any character I want and not have to pick and choose.
I think the previous model of GIVING away the ship as part of the festivities and then selling a stronger version in the C-store or fleet shipyard was a MUCH better choice.
It'd be nice to think that the Devs are looking at this and going "Jeez, maybe this was a bad idea".
In actuality, everyone except Bran (who is clearly doing his job posting blogs and whatnot) is opening champagne and celebrating that they've still got enough players left to tide them over to this fourth year.

Since the developers are keeping an eye on this thread, I wonder if we could get a poll on this thread, so the developers could get more accurate numbers as to what percent like it, and don't.
It is clear that the majority are opposed to it, but a poll will give numbers they could actually work with.

O_o' You'd rather do a long mission 6 times than a short minigame 15 times? Um... which one takes more time?
i would rather it be like the last 2 anniversary events and chasing mini Q around SFA is not fun more of a facebook mini game not to say if you got to compete for them from other players like that one mission all ready there

It's not just about time. One thing is for sure - I won't be griefed in the FE and there's no chance of failing it. I won't have to compete with my fellow player, wherein one or both of us is going to get frustrated.
The FE was also full of interesting little tidbits and things I missed first time around, so it was pleasure to go back and find them.

Keys almost always go on sale when a lock box is ending its run, i wouldn't read too much into that.
However, the cooldown tokens are entirely new and, imo, unwelcome
Gotta P.T. Barnum people into using it somehow, I suppose. :rolleyes:

Wouldn't it make up for everything if it turned out that tomorrow's free giveaway was 15 cooldown tokens per character?
No. No it would not.

I'm going to take that bet and also bet that they don't sell.

Well, welcome to the fora.
And what a sparkling first post it was too.
Thing is, free means gratis, for nothing, a gift.
Something obtained through grinding is not, therefore, technically free.
Or, as someone memorably wrote earlier, do you get a free pay cheque every week and the week worked is entirely coincidental?
and we who complain love post like this

It's the erudtition isn't it?

I reckon at least 85% firmly opposed.
