TiDi is expected honestly but I feel that this could have gone over a little bit better with some better preparation.
- 800+ pilots had gone to Sarum Prime because that was the original staging system in the World News event. - The node didn't seem to be reinforced, and thereby TiDi kicked in, as to be expected. - The staging point was then moved to Ihal, but the node(s) were not reinforced, thereby making the jump to Ihal excruciatingly long. - We were then informed that we should be moving to 8V-SJJ which was (hilariously) in the opposite direction. - Due to the distance of these jumps and the TiDi factor, I had made some spur of the moment calculations based on how long it was taking the larger ships to successfully jump into the next system, this was about 20 minutes per jump. I then applied this to the amount of jumps to the target destination and it came out to be about 9 hours or so, at which point TiDi was reduced to 30% as a mass of the participants logged off.
I'm still not quite sure what was supposed to happen in this event. Maybe something about the Empires fighting back their associated Pirate organizations but as far as the Lore is concerned, Capsuleers seem to be a greater hinderance to the Empires than the Pirate organizations. Like I said, not sure what was supposed to happen in this event, I have class in an hour so I had logged out early.

This was indeed handled very poorly, and I'm disappointed in what appears to be CCP's lack of foresight.
Having a staging system announced a day before the event and then changing it one hour before the event was bad planning. Having routes travel through known staging systems for large alliances was not the smartest idea either.
I hope live events continue and that the higher members of CCP don't see this as more reasons to ignore the events or postpone them. The events as a whole have potential but they really need more thought and consideration to what can and will happen. |

At least the OP was 1 hour.
I've been here for 5-6 hours trying to organize a fleet, with no information, hours of travelling, and now many more trying to go back with a 10% TiDI that has me slowboating in warp.
If this is pre-rubi warp changes, post rubi, battleships will never be used for pvp anymore. Unless they are at least dualboxing something "fun" while the boring one hauls for 10 hours just to go to a gate. |

Thank you for the event, it was great (no pun inteded).
What is really awesome, it shows that CCP doesn't have a faintest idea how the sandbox they created works.
See you next time,

Someone should get fired over this. Seriously. This one a total ****-show and CCP pissed off a huge number of people today, people who will in future think twice about plexing or subbing their accounts. No renewal = loss of revenue. And for this, the revenue drop will be significant.
So... bye, bye event organizer! The door's over there. |

OP nails it pretty good. Spent 2 hours going from Sarum Prime to Ihal, by the time I got there the even was mostly over (not that anyone had actually reached the event, most died gloriosly in the Doril gatecamp or in Sendaya) :)
No attempts at organization whatsoever from CCP, contrary to the expectations created by those news items.

CCP Fozzie organized Sarum Prime -> Ihal event (https://twitter.com/CCP_Fozzie). Guess he is better off rebalancing ships than doing anything related to live events. |

Great idea Terrible execution. Spent an 1.5 hours waiting in FD while fleets formed up, The only fleets made where alliance fleets, there was no way for others to participate, the only action taken by the ISD where local dialogue, When defending the beacon, there as no way to tell who was on whos side, since no fleets where formed, so it was just a big FFA for the 2 aliances able to assemble fleets. Complete joke really, no way to join with the pirate side, the first thing that shot at me was some serpentis vindicators, the very pirates i was there to protect. I am extremely disapointed in this event, i was excited that it might be something even remotely different from the everyday eve experience but i could have just headed into the middle of some big fights and would have been same thing. If we are meant to be supporting the pirates or empire where the hell are they, where the organization.. The event should have said, capsulers put out call for help from empire and pirates. |

Yes, someone's family should definitely starve because 0.24% (accurate number based on those who participated versus active subscribers) had a bad experience. For a few hours out of a single day.
Get real dude, if anyone should suffer from this it should be you and your ilk for over-reacting, not only over this particular instance but over a -******* video game-. |

CCP - This was a disastrous failure. I have nothing to add, which has not already been said.
I hope you learn from it, but I am done with your live events. This was too much. It wasted my time, and the people I asked to come in my fleet.
Getting a fleet together, waiting in Sarum Prime for hours, getting directions from Twitter?? and via totally spammed local channel only to end up warping through 23 jumps (many in 10% TiDi) to get to a staging area which just points to a new destination in null. Not fun, and I dropped the whole idea since I knew jumping into null would be straight into a podding meatgrinder. So, I disbanded my fleet even before we hit Ihal. That was all just a bad joke, and I actually regarded every piece of information as people trying to get others into a gatecamp killzone, instead you did that. Makes me wonder if you know your own game?
Here is what you should have done.
1. Hold the Events in the systems you define, for me that was Sarum Prime. When too many people are in system, lock the gates and spawn a new area where you have a similar event and keep doing this everytime you reach a certain limit, so you split the load and keep people from travelling. 2. Start the event a bit like an Incursion, so everyone knows when it begins, and people get into an intel channel where you convey the role playing part and maybe a fleet channel as well. 3. Fleets, get people into fleets! Especially if you do capsuleer vs capsuleer. Else, build the storyline around everyone going suspect or make the loots so irresistable that many do. Best would be, if you could pit fleets against each other, but I do not know if your game engine supports that. 4. If you want to do something new. Do the above, and once a certain force prevails in a system, open up a wormhole or special gate to a second system where the survivors from one system can do battle with the survivors of another system.
That is basically it. That way you cut out the stupid travelling, you know what nodes to reinforce and you open up the event in a way that will scale according to how popular it is. Also, you can reuse existing game code for this, should not be too hard.
This makes me wish I worked for you and did all this for you, since it could be so good, but you guys ruin it and I have a hard time understanding why since you must be intelligent people in order to write software and do all the great stuff that you actually do accomplish. The story line and event making of Eve is a problem, and you should look into solving it, since so many actually do come to these events in the hope of finding valuable content. And you let them down, time and time again.
