When all is said and done in a few days, I'm going to be left wondering what the hell was the point in all this.
Why mix in what seemed like dynamic events with usual pre-wipe events? If you weren't planning on wiping, who's bright idea was it to not only have $100k up for grabs, but it be repeatable?
What was the point of doing pre-wipe events and not calling them pre-wipe events? Those of us who took you at your word didn't really care, it didn't change how I played the game, but the rest of the community assumed a wipe was coming no matter what you said or did. I wasn't convinced until the $100k into raiders on every map pre-wipe event but you didn't fool anyone else if that was the point. But why bother?
I've really got to hand it to you Nikita, you really are the most incompetent PR man for your game/company I think I've ever seen. Rivaling the likes of Pitchford and Howard but where Pitchford's misconduct all came from outside the company, and, Howard just comes off like he doesn't understand his games at all, Nikita sets out to ruin his own reputation.
Now, going forward, we can't trust a word out of your fucking mouth. LOL – tell me why are you the face of the company and the PR man again? In one fell swoop you just made the entire community forever hostile to anything you say and do now. And you didn't really fool anyone in the process, so, Congratulations?
This didn't even set a precedent in that wipes will no longer be announced like we thought but it did set the precedent that no one has any idea what they're doing, even at BSG. Geez, I hope no one was on the fence about EFT and watched this unfold, eh?
This whole thing has just blown my mind and I can't stop laughing. I'll log on to check out the new factory but man is this community and this game going to be a shit show from here on out, there's no way you're living this one down.
**A lot of people don't seem to understand what the underlying problem is here. So here's Nikita unambiguously saying there will be no wipe with 12.11, it's not planned "we do not plan to do it", nothing is planned for "weeks or months".
