oohhh! Soo...the Nation are working with the Sleepers..
Sleepers only exist a downloaded collective intelligence from their former race, whatever that may be..they simply exist currently as sentient AI in their drone bodies, hence the name Sleepers I guess.
The Sansha Nation are helping the sleepers to re animate into flesh bodies once more!! Ooohhh queue The invasion of the body snatchers Watch your pods....you could be assimilated...
Arghhhh!!! *RUNS FOR COVER*

Thank you CCP. I had heard of the events in the past and was sad to have missed them. This is the sort of thing that can take an MMO from good to amazing.

I didn't expect events to be helt so frequently, and I love it! I did notice that some of the 'breadcrumb trails' we're following, studing things from the events, lead to non-roleplay things. Such as asking an agent where a true slave currently resides...

Edited by: CCP Dropbear on 12/05/2010 16:53:19 Just wanted to drop in and let you all know that we'll be responding here in a little while with some more information and addressing various concerns that have been raised.
We're watching this thread too, by the way, alongside many others like SHC and Chatsubo. So those of you who read here as well, please pass that on to those communities. Since we can't come over there and reply directly on the forums, there will be some replies to issues raised on 3rd party forums posted here.
There are already masses of good questions, clever suggestions and insightful comments being floated around, and we plan to incorporate exactly this type of feedback into future events, so I will very humbly ask that you guys give us time to react to it all, and to give these events time to evolve and improve based on your own feedback.
Edit: fixed link fail

I'm curious - is there any chance you can create a long term campaign, and then create areas where mass battles are always going on between npc factions? People can warp there, and watch, or join in. As the long term campaign goes on, these areas can shift and change location, etc.
I just thought it'd be a great addition for some who are looking for quick action. Also - I'd love to see huge fleet battles with titans and carriers on the field.

How the hell concord and the navy ships in empire work then?

I'm not 100% what these "live events" are, where do they happen and how do you participate?
How big are these NPC fleets, and what AI drives them, or are all played by devs?
Do you have to fight on a certain side, e.g. Amarr vs Sansha?
Timezone specific then? I.e. Oceanic cannot participate ...

I really love the frequency of event-related occurences. Even the little propaganda messeges spread across different locals add a lot to the feeling that there's always something going on in some way, somewhere.
I wonder though, should the actors related to Nation be addible to contact lists so players can see if they are online, because to me it seems a bit odd, roleplay wise, that players can do this. Agents can also track their current location, which sometimes leads to non-roleplay results.

So you found a way to compensate for the scaling issues that caused Aurora to collapse I take?
I am most pleased that you will at least try to reattach the RPG to the MMO once again .. make Eve a true beacon (no, not bacon, that would be silly!) for the entire industry!
PS: Looking forward to the first instance of a NPC faction putting a random tower or other structure into reinforced while spouting propaganda in local!! \o/

speaking of NPCs, are major characters such as Tibus Heth going to get involved, or better, will such characters appear in the live events as actual characters?

How do I know when and where the next event takes place? Does one get bounties for killing those Sansha ships (especially the carriers?) Do they drop special loot or something? Or is it just for the RP's?

You do get bounties for destroying the many Sansha NPC ships that come through the wormholes but I'm not sure about destroying the Sansha actors. Regarding loot, I would guess you get normal loot drops from the NPC ships and some of the modules from actor ships according to normal PVP game mechanics but I can't say for sure as I am always at work when the events take place. The actor ships do seem to be equipped with Sansha faction gear so looting those ships could be very nice.

EVE needs this...
In a not so longer run, CCP will find a way to create events dynamically without implicating CCP staff so it remains as something usual in EVE.
Getting the story of EVE in the game is a necessary step since very long!
So I just can give my full sopport for this! yay! ---

Just dropping to say was in the Umokka event that just happened and it was rather awesome i must say. Great work ccp! Only thing i would suggest is maybe a scaling tool that adjusts the number of npc's generated based on amount of people at the event. Saw ummoka jump to 300 and most came ot the event making it go quick.
Also dont know if its been looked at but no lag for me.

I've noticed that giving us little breadcrumb-trails at an event that we can follow will keep us busy far longer than the duration of the actual event. I've seen how every single thing that was said by actors is being scrutinized to find out more about what's going on. Every profile of every character involved is being investigated, and referenced across all the Eve canon. Players are taking that extremely far, and I very much enjoy doing that and seeing others do it. I hope CCP will give us plenty of crumbs to analyze and disect, and I hope non of the information we can derive from the events or the characters involved is unintentional. The argument was once raised that events cost too much resources for the amount of players that get gameplay out of it, but I think these breadcrumb trails can provide plenty of gameplay while the people involved aren't actually doing an event.

The only thing I don't like about this is that you can't be apart of the Sansha's Nation attack itself on the side of Sansha of course.
But apart from that it's awesome

So, one of these just finished in Teon.
Basically, a wormhole opened at Planet 1 and a bunch of Sansha came through, about the size of a lvl 5 mission. The Sansha FC (a dev) politly smacked in local for a bit, then a Minmitar dev asked for help in local etc etc
Then 100+ locals came and there was big old pew pew, kinda like sisi really, drones, cans, wrecks everywhere. Local hit approx 220 players, everything lagged etc then the Sansha bailed back into the wormhole out to Jove space and kidnapped 150k people from the planet as they left.
All in all an interesting 10 mins of random fun.
The End. |
