Luminaire. You may want to remove the Titan beacon, since, you know, it's not in orbit any more. I did wait until after DT next day just in case it was not an omission.

I don't know if the live even's team and the storyline contents writers ever get to sit in the same room, but I wish you'd get on more. Seems to me you could do with getting your guns pointed in the same direction. Just a single viewpoint observation. |

We sit in the same room on pretty much a daily basis.
All the live events you see happening are organized, created and scheduled based on a storyline narrative brief that we receive from, and discuss with, CCP's storyline team. CCP Falcon -á || -á EVE Community Team -á || -á EVE Illuminati -á || -á Live Events Organizer

The Caldari Prime event suffered from a few things.
The #1 issue was getting a ton of people concorded when there was some sorta scripting/error. This occurred directly after CCP opened the flood gates to 2000.
The 1400 cap was pretty low. Given the expected turn out CCP must have had for this, and the tons of hype, I feel like this could have been higher. We had 500 on just one gate waiting, so I do not believe all players could be accommodated, but combining the 1400 cap + a hardlock was very impacting to those who wanted to attend. I spam clicked for 15 minutes before we got people in to tell us what the cap was so we could just wait until it fell.
The predetermined out come. This completely ruins any immersion a player has for these events. I am not myself an RPer, however knowing a fight is fixed is pretty hilariously discouraging to anyone.

CONCORD wasn't an error, it was the unfortunate timing of flags expiring at that precise moment and not repopulating fast enough due to TiDi and the vast influx of people in the system. You can feel the cap would have been higher all you like, but the reality of the situation is that raising it would have been massively detrimental to the event. Also your numbers aren't quite correct - the cap was 1k, raised to 1200 (resulting in 1600 getting in due to timings), then raised to 1400, then 1500, finally to 1800 (resulting in 2100 getting in due to timings). After the first spike to 1600 we weren't expecting, we had to stabilise the system before letting anyone else in which took a pretty long time.

I haven't yet had a chance to take part in the current live events beyond dropping some supplies of for Caldari Prime after the battle, but I do have one request. Give us some closure on the Arek'Jaalan storyline. Even if its just in new items. When Dropbear left, the previous live events team kinda just went inactive without bringing the storyline to a close. Ideally, I would like to see that storyline reactivated, but I understand that this may not be possible. Follow my Adventures in New Eden! http://www.skorpiuschronicles.com/

If the outcome is a ton of people dying when they shouldn't have, that is an error. The flagging system did not work to the clients fast enough. I get you guys could not have tested that, it doesn't change the fact a ton of people are now disenfranchised from the first event they tried to attend. (Goons had not previously attended events since the MS wayyyy back, because we caught CCP volunteers cheating)
My point is this, if you want to massively hype events where you KNOW you cannot accommodate the players attending, and you have not tested the systems you will be using fully, perhaps you could have sub fights on the gates to get in, or flagged multiple systems, or really any solution other than locking players out for the entire event.

How is that not an error? "The mars satellite crashed into the planet instead of orbiting it, but this was not an error it was the result of the satellite going exactly where it thought it was supposed to go because we forgot to convert meters to feet". It's not suddenly not an error because you know why it happened. |

It's not an error, it's something that happened. For instance, if the pilots shooting had had their safeties set, they wouldn't have shot. Intention doesn't really come into it here. CCP Goliath | QA Director | EVE Illuminati | @CCP_Goliath |

"Not fast enough" implies an error condition, does it not? A corner case to be sure, but an error none the less. |

Orite, I forgot to write to the feedback thread.
1) Gallente/Minmatar current storyline is way too much fun for a computer game, I'm having a blast.
2) As a minor point of criticism, I really hope the complete lack of sensible strategy by the Minmatar NPCs (enter Colelie with a cap fleet when as an attempt to extradite one individual from central Federation and when you know opsec has been compromised, WTF Republic Fleet?!) will be eventually explained with further information about either how high-sec battles between empires work or about everything not being what it looks like. Because I'd really like to think our Fleet is even remotely competent if they want to be, even if the Tribal Council is full of morons. ;) |

The concept of 'competency' from the NCP's is kinda lacking in all the live events, honetstly. I suspect that is because part of their primary role seems to be to explode to provide entertainment to the players. You can't have the live event fleets be too competent or the players trying to kill them will complain about the devs being too 'OP' or favoring themselves over the players. It's a strange situation. |

Yea, I get that, and I really have no big gripes about them not being ubergood or overpowered fighters in space. It's just it would be nice if the strategy they (incompetently) attempt would at least begin to make some sense. And that has been possible in at least some previous events, so I have some hopes there being an explanation here too. (Even if it is just "they did not really have a plan beyond show of force". Shows of force without a slip of sensible strategy happen. They are stupid but they do. ;)) |

Hi,
I participated in the live events leading up to Incursions and recently decided to try and relive the glory days and participate in events again. However, I've found that there are some fundamental differences between the events back then and the events now, which makes the current events much less 'sandbox-friendly'.
I'd like to explain how.
The Incursion events, possibly most importantly, where easy to predict. Not in terms of when and where, but in terms of what Sansha was going to be doing; opening wormholes over populated planets to extract civilians. The reason this is so important is that by being able to predict it, players where given time to create their own place within the narrative.
The current events are much more diverse in nature, and show a much less clear progression over the course of multiple events. This means it's harder for players to plan ahead of an upcoming event and create narrative of their own that fits within what CCP is doing.
I can see how CCP is trying to create a list of which players support which faction, allowing them to group together, which is an important step, but it's missing something related to the point of anticipation and prediction I brought up earlier: motivation.
If you want these groups of people to move on their own and create something within the sandbox that is Eve, you cannot count on them caring about your story. They are much more likely to care about the stories they create for themselves. I saw this happen during the Incursion live events, and it worked beautifully. CCP didn't even know that player-created story had caused a battle at Maut involving hundreds of players, until after the fact. But it was the CCP events that sparked it, and the player sandbox that carried it.
During the current events, it seems players are allowed to pick a side, but aren't doing much on their own to forge their own narratives within those factions that have an easily discernible impact on what CCP is doing. I've seen Grideris attempt to force peace through special tactics during live events, only to find out that CCP blocked him by using ships that where immune to this tactic, rendering his interaction null and void. The opposite of what the Incursion events did.
It reminds me of a problem that Dungeons and Dragons dungeonmasters can encounter if they want the players to go one way but the players want to go another way. A beginning dungeon master might say that you cannot go the way they want because something blocks their path, where an experienced dungeon master would let them go the way they chose and adapt his story to take place in the direction of the player's choosing. |

I don't like using forums so rarely have any clue that live events are even on, let alone where or when or how i get involved.
I'm here trying to traul through this section of the forum just to find the ccp fleet fight on tq event but I give up .. all the threads have random non explanatory names and filtering through all the useless spam and troll posts before finding any real information is too much for me.
All i heard was ccp soundwave mumbling about this event on alliance xi stream, no when, where, how or why. |
