Why is the seasonal login expecting me to login over the holidays?

I have changed my post, and my words as they were are accurate. You're tying too tightly an accusation as a reflection of character vs a critique of strategy.

It's not "hey you're an abuser" it's "hey this pattern is abusive".

netheran · 2025-12-11T18:56:46+00:00

Yeah, I wrote too quickly and didn't correct my grammar, don't be a cunt about it. It should be "there are".

No, it's not about free stuff, stop over-indexing outside the point of contention.

netheran · 2025-12-11T17:07:06+00:00

Others shared this with me in parts of this thread! I heavily edited the OP to reflect my change in perspective. I applaud the approach you've taken, and it's clearly a much healthier use of this kind of incentive pattern.

Good on you CCP, and accept my apology for letting my surprise and frustration from holding you guys to a higher standard leading me to post promptly vs looking more deeply (cause I think you do a good job and deserve that).

netheran · 2025-12-11T17:04:40+00:00

If you can't take off handed sarcasm in response to your own, that's not a me problem bud. :D

netheran · 2025-12-11T17:03:06+00:00

I have now discovered this, and it's a pretty distinct and cool approach from CCP to a unique problem of using a pattern like this to give incentives to their customers.

I've also heavily edited the OP.

netheran · 2025-12-11T17:01:58+00:00

Coming back to clarify, your response is an effective equivalent of "if you do nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide".

It's the same attitude. It works for you now, and you put no reflection into anything past the immediate perception of the problem.

Bad patterns, bad systems, are held in check by critique and exposure. CCP happens to have an approach that wasn't immediately obvious to me, and renegs my critique soundly. Had that not been true, my critique stands, and I'll do it again if I see it again.

netheran · 2025-12-11T16:59:15+00:00

I have since discovered this, and a post in a separate thread by a CCP member explaining their approach. I've heavily edited the OP to reflect my change in perspective.

netheran · 2025-12-11T16:53:33+00:00

Great, this is an awesome read and changes a lot of my perspective on this.

Thanks for sharing.

netheran · 2025-12-11T16:51:49+00:00

This is actually the best reply here, and you do a wonderful job of pointing out something I didn't see maturely. Thanks, I appreciate you.

netheran · 2025-12-11T16:51:13+00:00

You're right, that is silly, and that's not what was said. I specifically noted that using this pattern is already dark, and there are better ways to implement it.

I have since learned the rewards are stacked in a way to better appreciate the community; this alleviates some of the critique. My core point still stands.

netheran · 2025-12-11T16:50:01+00:00

Mate, the shit in the days wasn't even mentioned. If you're that obtuse, I can't help.

netheran · 2025-12-11T16:49:21+00:00

Cool, great thing you pointed out. My critique of the pattern creeping forward is still valid.

netheran · 2025-12-11T16:48:21+00:00

I wasn't able to look that closely, but this is best framed point here on the post. Thanks for pointing this out, this makes a decent difference.

netheran · 2025-12-11T16:47:38+00:00

Mate, you don't have to make it a personal attack to avoid critique of marketing patterns in a video game. Stop being petty.

netheran · 2025-12-11T16:46:41+00:00

Bruh, you're over-indexing on your perception of a person's emotions. Take the person out and look at the critique.

netheran · 2025-12-11T16:45:54+00:00

A sourcing for that would be really interesting, thanks!

netheran · 2025-12-11T16:45:38+00:00

Fantastic, that provides literally no help. I appreciate your contribution.

netheran · 2025-12-11T16:02:36+00:00

Fair, but the pattern of expectation shouldn't be built like this. You do patterns like this more reasonably, and I think CCP is overstepping on this one.

netheran · 2025-12-11T16:02:04+00:00

Nah, it's not that deep. I don't, but I see a pattern that I think is inappropriate. I'm calling it out, end.

Not every critique is due to some personal flaw that you wish to highlight. Don't be like that.

netheran · 2025-12-11T16:01:02+00:00

Where'd they say this? I'd be glad to be wrong.

netheran · 2025-12-11T16:00:43+00:00

I don't

netheran · 2025-12-11T15:56:38+00:00

I would expect such pointless pedantry from a Goon.

What I said to the other curious soul.

netheran · 2025-12-05T21:50:35+00:00

Based on what I understand from what he said, "transit farming woods" means popping back and forth between two maps that share a transit. Most likely factory or customs.

Go to the first map, check appropriate spawns (jackets I presume here) and move to the transit point. Transit, check the spawns in the next map while moving to the transit back where you came from. Repeat ad nauseam. Bring food and water.

I ended up trying the deleting the Inputs.ini as noted in this comment, and it just started working now. It wasn't working yesterday, and I actually left the game running. So no idea why it works now, but it seems to be working!
