[SC] Events: Christmas or Birthday= Mix up

Well,
I, for one, was looking forward to this set of events. However, I think the community has 1. been mislead. And 2. Been left bewildered and confused.
Lets start by saying Skoll gate isn't nothing to do with Dark Orbit's Birthday therefore shouldn't be labelled as "Birthday gate"...To add, I have a similar amount of DeJa Vu because this has happened before...Hasn't it?.
Another really bizarre issue is the cold wave event...The easy mission(1) was much more difficult than the hard mission. Why? Because unless my Algebra hasn't been taught correctly (it's been a long time) then the confusing x2 maps to farm resources was totally wrong.. I'm certain it should have been the other way around(2x)?
Even then player's were probaly running around for hours trying to find the correct map to find the correct resource/npc. Seeing as Terbium is difficult to farm and you cannot get it from the NPC'S anymore !
Solution: Could Winter events and gates be rolled out seperately in the future?
Winter is winter Birthday is different.
Or will you give the Birthday gate later (like you did a few years back).

As for the error in the Easy wave, maybe I am wrong and I can't read maps anymore?

 

Terbium is dropped from everything above a Lordakia (including these) it is also in all 3 maps x-2 to x-4. The only reason you may not see it is because you have Premium and Auto-Refine which causes these to be turned into Promerium before you really see you had it, unless collecting Lordakia/Streuner drops then you will see an odd amount occasionally.

Winterfest starts December 1st and runs all month long. The Birthday gate always happened on the 11th and since 2014 (the creation of the NEW Forums) has always been called the Cold Wave Gate. YES I really liked the 6th Birthday Gate as it was something special and was very fun using the special boosters that were in there to assist us in killing the NPC's but sucked when they went thru the maze and we had to chase them around the outside of it. I can only assume the NEW dev's are unable to reprogram that gate (just like the crazy cube's) to run it again, that and it probably will not run on the NEW AI that was implemented that spring or the current Reloaded.

 

I guess what you should say to dark orbit is thanks for the 2 new lf4's that were given for a FREE gate. How awesome was that. thanks dark, orbit. just have fun its only a game.

 

yh, great...What about the easy cold wave quest? Was it me or was it them?

 

X-2 map has all 3 ores in it, Prometium, Endurium, and Terbium. It is the ONLY map that has all three raw materials in it to be collected. X-1 does not have Terbium, X-3 & X-4 do not have Prometium and all NPC's in maps above X-2 drop all 3 plus some of the refined ores unless you look at the Lordakia and it just drops the 3 raw materials, bosses drop Xenomit (the Streuner is the exception to this). This >THREAD< gives you the full details of the ores dropped from the NORMAL in map NPC's (Regular, Boss, and Uber) it is missing the Plague Event (they don't drop Cargo) and Kuiper Event (basically an over glorified Streuner) added NPC's.

I just looked at the Easy 1 Quest and you kill Lordakia on X-2 and X-3 and collect Terbium on both maps (Mid Lower of X-2, and Top Left of X-3) it is easy peasy. There is even a Daily that requires you to collect 20 each of the 3 ores which is done in X-2 or X-1 for the Prometium but can be any map (again except X-1 for the Terbium) as Endurium is found in all 4 lower maps.
