Finally, there is a bonus event in the space online game Elite Dangerous – and some players are already complaining.
In the space online game Elite Dangerous, not many events take place. Now it’s here, but the developers are facing criticism: What is going on in space?
An event and not everyone is happy about it
What does the event offer? The “Extended Bonus Weekend” increases all profits from trading activities, with the amount of profit depending on what and where you send something. However, rare goods are excluded from the bonus. The costs for engineering your modules will also be reduced. The event takes place from May 24 to May 30.
The players are not happy. The community of Elite Dangerous consists of players who take the lore of the game world very seriously. Therefore, it is primarily criticized that this bonus weekend does not fit into the background story at all and seems extremely artificial and forced. Players believe that events should be better integrated into the game world and need to be logically explained. They should make sense from the lore perspective. Furthermore, some fans believe that this event promotes grinding.
But this of course does not concern all players, some are just happy.
How do the developers respond? Frontier Developments appears somewhat perplexed by the negative reactions. The developers simply wanted to create a fun event that might also lead some former players to return to the game.
The developers of Elite Dangerous have a lot more in store for the space online game.
