and asking to get 1-2 R14 destroyers 100% for free isnt whinning (considering what ive already sayed: you were warned, you had time, you had ways to do it, you can still do it).
Although i agree with you on several points, the wanting stuff ‘‘100%’’ free isn’t that weird of a complaint imo, not saying all 3 destroyers should be free (i’m gonna assume only a very small minority is so entitled they want everything for free), but i do think getting at least 1 destroyer through ‘‘normal’’ gameplay should be at least relatively user friendly.
We know we’ll be getting at least 1 destroyer for free as long as we keep doing the event tasks, but i think some people are just annoyed that the Sirius is pretty much behind a steep pay/grind wall and the Jericho destroyer is a maybe if we can get it without grinding (remember this is still a game, not work), some people are just annoyed they lack a choice into what destroyer they can build unless grinding or paying is involved.
If somebody started the game 1-2 months ago, they would be highly handicapped going into this event, like you said, some of us had months to gather resources, but others weren’t so lucky. Not to mention you also got to factor in the time investment, with people having jobs and whatnot.
We also don’t know when they will be put back into the game for manufacturing, can we agree on that a lot of this negativity could be avoided if the devs communication was a bit clearer/less secretive?
Just to clarify, so this also doesn’t look like me ‘‘complaining’’ for myself. I myself have 2000+ monocrystals and plenty of Neodium and Beryllium, the only thing i’m lacking is Electrum, so in terms of resources i myself am pretty solid. I’m just more commenting on this matter because i do feel the event is highly skewed towards veterans, grinding and paying, pretty much leaving the ‘‘casual’’ player behind.

So, no especulation at all, just facts (from quoted persons. Please take your time to see where theres: whinning (sry i only selected a few cause they talk about the same subject), offensive language and speculation). You may also want to check posts in other threads to understand why im not freaking out for a grain of sand. And btw, before stating my opinion (yes i do acknowledge im using opinions often) i refute with facts, many of them comming from what i have achieved in this game (as you mustve read, ive played most of my time as a 100% free player and only for the last months i got GS to buy stuff thx to my translating job in SC).
I can clearly see Xenon’s posts are bit a more…’‘emotional’’ shall we say :P, but i don’t really see Phoenix his posts being all that aggressive. Do they carry a somewhat negative undertone, sure, but he does state his reasons normally. Not all feedback can be positive, seeing there’s always room for improvement.
To be fair, i myself still have no definitive idea what the amount of resources we will be getting after the end of month 3 of this event will be, i’ve seen numbers from normal users, but that’s all speculation so far i know. I would love if a dev would actually come out with at least a rough number, kind of coming back to my earlier statement of communication could be better.

BTW, i remember some players saying that destroyers needed to be expensive, thus hard to get, in order to balance their population in the game…but after they are giving a R14 destroyer in a dish there are still complaints to make it even easier to get? isnt this hypocresy? contradiction? Whenever something happens you have “opinions” (actually complaints): whether devs make them true or not, complaints arise anyway.
I will reply to this with something Phoenix said;
‘‘Different people, have different tastes. Like in another game I’ve been following, some people wanted more units of a resource made available, so kept posting to that effect, then when the publisher added more, other people kept posting to complain that they added more. Can’t please everyone, especially when there’s no room for choice.’’
You will always have people complaining/giving feedback, that’s not the fault of anyone, you can’t please everyone (no such thing as a perfect product/game).

I shouldve quoted this as well.
For the most part i agree with Spongejohn’s post (i myself have spent money on this game), right now with the destroyers my complaint is more about the ‘‘how’’.
