    It seems like this event was purposely made to screw over non-mega coiners. Welp another time Kixeye says Fck you to its customers. These may be my last few days with Vega. Oh well, I don't give any shts anymore.

    ANNOUNCEMENT: We have extended the activity by one hour due to the delayed start. As this would overlap the Civil War, we are moving the Civil War to after Alien Mobilization. This should also allow a bit of a breather between Decimation and Mobilization.

    Have you read the 8 zillion posts about how a lot of the player base are close to breaking point?

    Another hour of sucky alien BS. Wow great response there. I'm sure everyone feels content now.

    After we already died and logged off trying on the original fleets. this is what 10 friggin pages of "balanced" complaints was about, we HATE when you do this, and we TOLD YOU THIS WOULD HAPPEN.  BALANCE IT BEFORE THE EVENT STARTS. 3 hours of 25% repair bonus will not help, honestly at this point 100% repair bonus will not help if you havent already coined the top tier fleets with top tier tech, and refit them 3 times already since that top tier tech is outdated literally days later.

    THIS IS BULLSHIT Kixeye.  Balance the event BEFORE it starts - these events are now purely designed to **** your fleets so then people coin the repairs - GET OVER IT and stop this BULLSHIT.  Now I know Coineye are going to disregard this coz I swore.  Wonder why so many people are???

    Earlier you also said
    "- Yes, the latest Xeno ships with the latest Xeno tech equipped will be the most efficient means to destroy a target. As was mentioned at the start of this season, the highest level tech from the monthly events and various sector activities are subsequently going to be the best to use for the highest level Alien targets. They are not the only means to destroy a target, just the most efficient."

    Are there changes to the event planned to make this statement true?  Because currently there is no other means to destroy them other then marked up xeno ships with latest xeno tech

    The co-op aliens and the repair time decrease is just not good enough when the intel payout is this low, im still not grinding this event out again. Do something about that rather.
    Go forth and take a walrus.

    exactly, we need to be able to do SOMETHING without being a mega coiner, otherwise you are alienating (pardon the pun) 99% of your players

    And what about those that have already spent time and fleets killing 80 hives before you made these changes?  Oh, that's right.  You don't care.

    Whoooaaaa enuff with the strategisticism mumbojumbo bulldoodies!

    Bros, peeps, pilots n creeps here it is straight:

    Kix is exiting Vega.

    Yes, new toys ignore mid to low players coz they are of no $$$ value to Kix. Please log off now noobs and coin freeloaders.

    The next month is continuing to accelerate probably a years worth of planned devs - makin hay while the Suns are shining.

    Of course it's op. Every event starts op so eager dollar warriors go hard and take heaps of damage and have ta Coinaroo. (Do u really think Kix is so dumb they don't test event fleets??) it's meant to be this way galactic gooses.

    There be some crazy spending vegarites that will glad coin til the Vega corpse lets its final dying breath out. Well done chaps - I be spending my coins elsewhere ===~

    Any ways back in me pathfinder to find some level 3 PvP - pew pew puke. Yaaaa hooooooo!

    lmao...I just hit a reaper which I was able to hit quite a few before needing repair last time, and now my fleet lost 2 ships and heavy damage on the others.  So I play for 3 minutes and have almost 5 hours of repair.  This game has been a joke for a while, this event confirms kixeye garbage.

    oh yeah.....139k is all I got.

    what I hit with last time........ just dies.

    barely any damage done to decimation fleets

    either spend a couple hundred $$$$ a week or just quit.

    I haven't gotten new tech in months.

    I'm not capable of spending hundreds to have a new fleet done 2 days after an event.

    which is what browneye has been building up to for a year. It's finally here and it shows everywhere that if you don't pay??? you can't play

    in a FREE TO PLAY GAME.

    FREE TO PLAY means you get to play the **** game!!!!!!!!!!

    Not you can log in and watch paid players ........Just sit for hours watching for nothing.

    Punisher parts were in a 93, had little chance of getting many, can get more swarm, ranger, gladiator swarms (need no more!!).

    all fleets dead

    repairs longer than the entire extended event. 3 hrs of increased speed of rep only helps coiners of course.

    A non coiner could rep 1 dead ship .............YAY    

    actually, just put in ships to get the longest rep time you can, the 25% counts at the start of the rep, and then the rep takes that much time, unless you restart it

    I put 6 cruisers in a flt, 13 hrs instead of the 18 they would usually take

    mega coiner only event, for those who spent money to get mk 5 decimater cutters. due to power creep rape nobody else has them other than mega coiners. kix doesn't care about the game anymore, just the money a handful of people are putting into it. stop complaining and just stop playing
    says the one that is wasting their time by coming to the forums of a game they supposedly dont play to say this. you are not giving a good example here

    but you are very right
    I never said I don't play :P just stop complaining and stop playing. I do admit I'm a hypocrite, done nothing but **** and moan on forums about power creep rape for 3 months now on forums. Even put kixeye down and called them the trash they are for what they are doing to an amazing game. 1 year ago this was the best game I have ever played on pc, now its depressing every event(which is now 2-3 a week instead of 2 a month). and as long as kix doesn't ban me I will keep playing, and complaining about power creep rape and how they ruined the perfect game. But that's just me, complaining is a hobby of mine, and I am proof kix doesn't even read any of this since I am still aloud to post comments on here

    Well the Reaper fleets are definitely doing more damage this event. Need to tone them down. Less payout and more rep?

    Before with a punisher I could hit 5-6 fleets easy. Now I hit 2 and done for the night. Nice.


    Each even should not be scaled harder with less payout for the same level fleet. Give you base a chance to farm the fleets without changing the rules. Now it could be that Kix is just inept in fleet tuning every event and can't remember where they had it set the last time....I'd rather assume they are just doing it on purpose.
