Originally by: GigaIndy It was fun while it lasted. Then alliances ruined it. Ascn came into ikuchi, and camped the free station. Killed anyone who tried to dock or undock. So no more free ships if you die instantly to 25 battleships outside.
Then you had people pod killing as well.
Real fun ascn GG.
Tell some of the super chars who were on the server, I know some of the vols went after people who podded yesterday. We're like Concord only more fun.

Sounds like it was a lot of fun, too bad I missed it! Will try to show up for the test tonight instead!
Unfortunatley I am not suprised that people took advantage of this rare occation to ruin the game for others. Sure, it was a test and it does not affect anything on tranquility, but why rob other people from the opportunity to try out some real PvP?
Interesting how some people constantly complain about not beeing able to ransom people and a lot of other stuff and thus having to resort to ganking and sniping, and still when they have the perfect chance to show the PvE-centered part of the playerbase how fun it is to take part in fleet-battles they still resort to ganking people coming out of stations and gates. Letting people try out some real PvP could have led them to embrace the PvP part of the game and ventured out into 0.0 space, but instead being gangked right outside a station more likely discouraged most everyone...
So please, read what Oveur said and grow some balls! Allow less (and of course more) experienced players a chance to leave the station and give them the chance to regroup and fight! After all, a 10 vs 10 fight loads the server many MANY MANY times more than a 10 vs 1 does, and the whole idea was to test the server, right?...

(re-posted from diff thread, fits better in this one though)
I really really hope that there will be less of the insta ganking of people at the stations. If they wanna do mega gankage fighting, do it at planets or anything, just not at the undocking ports, it was borderline retarded how bad it was getting. out of 10 undocks, about 4 made it out. The other times by the time the black screen was done, and I could see anything, I was already in a pod..... where is the enjoyment of that? I can offer a piece of advice on a way to help with that though, as soon as you undock, and the screen goes black, quit eve, then log back in. You will most likely warp out/warp back in upon re-logging. Now all you have to do is try to warp away in time
I would not mind seeing 25-30 sentry guns at the statins that are seeded to keep them clear so people can actualy use the stuff.

Good post Oveur
Hope you can find a way to prevent the station campers, might be fun to them but not so for the rest.
On test i don't mind loosing a ship, but at least give me a fighting chance(i suck at pvp anyway), being blown up when sitting with a black screen for 2 minutes is not my idea of fun or a good way to test anything but my monitors display of blackness :)
Big fleet battles might be fun but station camping is lame, but guess the hardcore pvp'er are cowards :)
As for people with no or little lag what kind of hardware do you have? mine is a Amd 64 3800+ 2 gig ram Nvidia 6800GT 256mb broadband connection 8mbit down 1 or 2 for upload, at the time not used by second computer.
With this hardware i had bad lag, after jumping to Rens planet 1 it took me 20+ seconds to see the ships around there, there was loads so i can see why the lag.

Has there been a "Downtime" for the server today? If so, will all the stuck characters be working again?
I got stuck while jumping through unpopulated systems and couldn't log back into the game all night! Would be nice if I could have a more fun-filled night tonight!
Of course, it'll be another nice test, to make sure the new hardware/software handles such situations correctly! Didn't think submitting a petition about being stuck would be a good idea so I didn't bother, hehe.
Show them no mercy ... for you shall receive none!

Yeah there was ganking. Gate camping and stuff. It was fun, I lost Ravens in some 2 second long firefights
But once you got around them and into good tactical positions... I enjoyed back stabbing others (1 on 1, 2 on 1) and so on. I nailed umm let's see one Brutix, one Domix, tried to nail one dreadnaught but my cruise missiles didn't even manage to irritate it, back stabbed one Tempest, got warp jammed by af and got wrong type of ammo with me (I would have needed expl damage type) and then I got the previous dread to finish me.. I lasted some 5 minutes though, I was kinda far from him and tried to keep moving and nailing the af
Ooh, saw a Titan too but I got too scared of it attacking me and run.
Almost never had as much fun. Shame I don't have the resources to do that stuff on main server Anyways, it wasn't all bad. You could have insane fun even without being in some 20 strong camping fleet.
Thank you devs for the last night

So who fancies rumbling with the MC fleet tonite? Last night was great fun, lets have some more tonite and stress the server as much as possible. This time lets do it away from the station so people can get new ships without lagging to hell and back
Hopefully people will be a little more respectful tonite and not gank undockers or pod kill people (complete immature idiots tbh). Lets have some fights and see if we can trip the new server up before it goes live tomorrow

Originally by: Krxon Blade Yes it sucks
Jet again several players prooved their stupidity shooting till destruction, even MODs asked not to do that.
That what suppose to be fun and helpfull turned into frustration for many of us as several of us was being ganked by imature players.
I came on 87.237.38.200 to help you to test server and not to be podkilled by mentioned retards.
So, dear Oveur and rest of DEVs you should predict that many ppl wil not obey your asking not to shoot till destruction so you should provide us for example security mechanism which would make last 25% of our hull untouchable.
OP is a whiner.

I had the time of my life. Really fun. Had several really good fights and tried several new setups. Everything went smoth until we tried to engage the stations campers....booom
The server was up and running this morning too. I guess it will be online almost all the time.
As for the rules, I was under the impression that everything goes. It's 0.0 and all mods costs 100 isk. I was online for quite some time last night and this morning and never heard anything about 'stopping at structure'.
Anyway, it was a great opportunity to try new setups and things that you normally don't dare
Thanks for the test.

Agreed this was a blast but the station campers were lame. I ended up going two systems over from Rens to get my fittings as trying to get in and out of BTT was ridiculous.
Got podded once, on purpose, and reported it on the invader channel and was told it would be taken care of.
Left Jita early on as has been stated the free station there was so camped it was beyond hope of getting in and out. Yes it was a test server, yes stuff was cheap but as has been said over and over why do I want to let you test ganking me while I undock. Camp the gates/plantes etc rather then the stations so you can at least have someone shoot back at you. I had loads of fun attacking people at gates etc.
Perhaps the station guns should be turned back on and intesified

I think the best thing to do to avoid the station campers (though hopefully they will be less numerous this evening) is to use the free stations in less busy, nearby systems and just set your clone there.
I mean, people are allowed to pod you if you ask them to, right?

the campers are defending their actions vehemently even after Oveur said it was cowardly.
people camping the gates to one of the three systems have no honor. understandably they have no shame also. and camping the supply station is equally pre-pubescent.
you should raise the age range to 18+ will fix alot of them kiddie problems
