CCP Fallout	Posted - 2011.07.18 17:07:00 - [1] Sansha is back, and he's looking at killing a capsuleer or two. CCP Headfirst's newest dev blog gives us the scoop on the summer of fun. DE RU Fallout Associate Community Manager CCP Hf, EVE Online Contact us

Niraia Zaratha Zarati Aggravated Assault..	Posted - 2011.07.18 17:21:00 - [3] That's great and all, but the player (Ghost Hunter) you use to communicate with on the Sansha side is an alliance thief who has banned me from the in-game channel that event staff roleplaying Sansha characters use to communicate the location and progress of incursions during live events. I've attempted to contact them about this and have received no response, so modified my roleplay accordingly. What good is this to me? I'm most likely alone, but I also think of pilots who would rather not associate themselves with a known thief and the kids that flock to his banner; some of which laughably aren't deemed worthy enough to be in the aforementioned channel by the aforementioned moron who owns it. Is this something you can address? I'll live, but it still leaves a sour taste. Further, it's still near-impossible for Nation loyalist capsuleers to help during unmanned incursions. Kuvakei owes me a Megathron from my last attempt :p - gallenteprime.com
Kyoko Sakoda Caldari Veto. Veto Corp	Posted - 2011.07.18 17:22:00 - [4] I like pie. Pie and live events.
Jacen Aris Caldari Sphere Systems Obsidian Fusion	Posted - 2011.07.18 17:22:00 - [5] wooo
J Kunjeh Gallente	Posted - 2011.07.18 17:24:00 - [6] Very excited! I read the news bits about the wormholes that recently opened and figured something big was coming up. I'm such a PVP noob that I don't think I'll be directly participating, but I'll be watching intently from the sidelines. ~Gnosis~
Warmaster Abaddonn	Posted - 2011.07.18 17:32:00 - [7] Roleplaying within the game needs a major boot up its ass. I mean, major. Roleplayers within Eve are the biggest bunch of elitist idiots I've ever tried to talk to - they do NOT let you join in, they don't help you with background material, they are just so full of it. I would much rather play around with BoB/IT/Raiden. than try any more to integrate myself with a bunch of... I won't say, I'm too polite. Some will say "the material is out there" and "if you hang on the roleplay forums you'll learn" but the truth of it is, I was drawn into Eve by its background story. I'm a Caldari fan through and through. And yet trying to get into the RP crowd is harder than forcing yourself between a nun's legs. It's not impossible but it's so much effort! CCP, you want better integration into the game? Try helping out with the roleplay side of things already. It certainly doesn't help that you have your favourites that get access to all the good plot! Yes, I'm an alt. Deal with it.
Grideris Gallente Fleet Coordination Command Fleet Coordination Coalition	Posted - 2011.07.18 17:39:00 - [8] I endorse this product and or service. Also needs less wormholes leftover from previous events. -------------------------------- Fleet Admiral, Fleet Coordination Coalition
Ugleb Minmatar Sarz'na Khumatari Ushra'Khan	Posted - 2011.07.18 17:47:00 - [9] Excellent to hear guys, hope you remember what I said at fanfest; recruit more conspirators within CCP to help you roll out this stuff! The Journal; Walking The Road To Liberation
Sarmatiko	Posted - 2011.07.18 17:51:00 - [10] Please can you fit normal supercarrier fittings for capsuleer eradication and actually kill them? Not much fun in event when you just kill hundreds of npc battleships and then just smashing SC till the end without risk Fit deadspace modules, greedy slave! Also, when will Angels show up? What is project "Thanatos"?

Xideinis The Concilium Enterprises Spectrum Alliance	Posted - 2011.07.18 17:56:00 - [11] YAY! You linked my video! I love you guys ^.^ <3 Thanks CCP!

I would much rather play around with BoB/IT/Raiden. than try any more to integrate myself with a bunch of... I won't say, I'm too polite. Ignore those people and carry on RP'ing your thing regardless. If you come up with something interested it will get acknowledged sooner or later. Personally I don't use any of the community sites other than the IGS and I just do what I think makes sense for my character. What I don't do is try to involve myself with every damned thing, for one thing I only have some much time, for another I prefer to pick and choose what is relevant to me. So long as you are respectful (OOC at least!) then you should be 'accepted' sooner or later. And if not, ignore them. The Journal; Walking The Road To Liberation

This is already happening, check the posts in Intergalactic Summit by Hilen Tukoss. And please join us in the Arek'jaalan ingame channel. It's a very fermentive brew pot of loremongering. Arek'jaalan Project page I'm with you on blowhards, just ignore them and carve your own niche. Dare to be bold pilot and don't let anyone get in your way of your ambitions for knowledge. Also run the COSMOS constellation missions, they have a lot of important storyline material in them. Since you are Caldari you might be interested in the sites in the Okkelen constellation, they include Talocan archeological sites being excavated by the State. Algintal in Gallente space has Yan Jung ruins, Ani in Minmatar space has Sleeper ruins and story.

Buzzmong Aliastra	Posted - 2011.07.18 18:57:00 - [18] Edited by: Buzzmong on 18/07/2011 18:57:36 Silly question coming from a casual '05 player, but how on earth do you actually find out about the live events before/as they're happening. In all my years, barring the recent Incursion ones, I've only ever found out about live events in the news reports after they happen. Do you guys at CCP actively advertise them, or are there channels/newssites I can go to get a heads up? I'd hate to only find out about them as they happen again and be 30+ jumps away as per usual. --------------------------------- Go Web! Go!

Unless the sneaky devs drop clues, we have no warning. Best bet is to listen into the "Live Events", "BTL Pub" or "The Ditanian Fleet" Incursion channels if you don't RP. If you RP, "SYNEPublic" is a good choice, but be warned that it is an IC channel. I almost forgot to add that you can join the FCORD Mailing list, as we usually get a mail out ASAP if there is one going on. And who knows? If they hold one when I'm online, I might be able to run a fleet again! -------------------------------- Fleet Admiral, Fleet Coordination Coalition
Gnulpie Minmatar Miner Tech	Posted - 2011.07.18 19:09:00 - [20] The linked YouTube video is censored in Germany, the access to it is blocked. Can you provide an alternate link? Otherwise? Good and interesting stuff.

Dalilus	Posted - 2011.07.18 19:20:00 - [21] Any content for the solo player in the works? I don't much care to follow orders from a fc and am not looking for safety in numbers. Lemming play is not for me.

CCP Headfirst	Posted - 2011.07.18 19:34:00 - [22] Originally by: Warmaster Abaddonn Roleplaying within the game needs a major boot up its ass. We don't have any "favorite" RPers, people. Anyone who shows up to an event and makes an honest attempt at interacting with us in character has a good chance of getting pulled into the story line. You're absolutely correct, though: Role-playing in EVE needs a major boot up the ass. Your boot, your ass. Let's see what you've got, EVE community! :)

Eshnala Muppet Ninja's Ninja Unicorns with Huge Horns	Posted - 2011.07.18 19:34:00 - [23] CCP is cheating with jumping out carriers who are infinite pointed and stuff to prevent it from being killed... :T20: much, right?

If I had my way (and lots of money), that Chemical Brothers song ("Container Park") would be the official song of Sansha's Nation.

CCP Headfirst	Posted - 2011.07.18 19:46:00 - [27] Originally by: Buzzmong Edited by: Buzzmong on 18/07/2011 18:57:36 how on earth do you actually find out about the live events before/as they're happening. Some events have warnings, but most of them are rather spontaneous. There are some tricks to being in the right place at the right time, though: * Sansha events are happening a lot more often in incursion regions * Faction Warfare events are going down in... well... faction warfare systems. Also, certain players in certain NPC corporations get advanced notification... guess which? :) * The forums are also a great place to find out where and when some events are going to happen.

Lotus Alunis	Posted - 2011.07.18 19:48:00 - [30] TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN... I AM CONCERNED THAT THE ACTORS YOU EMPLOY FOR THESE LIVE EVENTS ARE RACISTS AGAINST US LOYAL SANSHONIANS! IS IT CCP POLICY TO EMPLOY RACISTS? THANKYOU FOR YOUR TIME.

If you notice anything happen during a live event that seems to fall outside the rules and game mechanics players must abide by, rest assured it's to perpetuate the story, not to win a fight.

EndoofDays	Posted - 2011.07.18 19:54:00 - [33] I remember this one time, i made a petition, the GM told me he can't modify the game or make any changes that wouldnt naturally occur in EVE online. Apparently noob Chimera chump didnt get the same CCP load of **** i did?

Maybe you should take FW to highsec where pirates can't stop people bursting to tears and cheating like you guys do, If you guys run in lowsec or 0.0 your going to run into pirates, deal with it, don't cheat like a bunch of *******s..

What happened to the other pirate factions? Blood Raiders, Guristas, Angels, Serpentis.. Are we to think they are unable to do an incursion? The key to the incursions is the fact that sansha have the wormhole generating tech. I remember hearing about some angels in an event in minmatar space, though i wasn't there... I imagine the other factions will be making appearances too.

Throatslitter	Posted - 2011.07.18 21:27:00 - [48] Awesome! Cant wait to participate! Oh wait, I can't because it's not for all timezones, only EU (and some early US players). Way to go CCP, doesn't you game run 23/7?
Velarra Caldari Ghost Festival Naraka.	Posted - 2011.07.18 21:46:00 - [49] Do your actors/GM's running events have greater control tools for use with the NPC's they spawn, than in past live events?

Warmaster Abaddonn	Posted - 2011.07.19 00:30:00 - [51] Edited by: Warmaster Abaddonn on 19/07/2011 00:32:51 Originally by: CCP Headfirst Originally by: Warmaster Abaddonn Roleplaying within the game needs a major boot up its ass. We don't have any "favorite" RPers, people. Anyone who shows up to an event and makes an honest attempt at interacting with us in character has a good chance of getting pulled into the story line. You're absolutely correct, though: Role-playing in EVE needs a major boot up the ass. Your boot, your ass. Let's see what you've got, EVE community! :) Firstly, thanks for the response :) Second, it certainly appears to someone on the outside like me, and with my numerous abortive attempts to get into the RP scene, that the perception is at least there that there appear to be favourites. I assume you've heard this remark before as it was the first thing you decided to be defensive about with regards to my post. You say just turn up to an event and make an honest attempt to interact in an IC fashion; my point is even more valid. People like me get ignored in favour of more established RPers and actors thrashing out their latest *****-fest. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for continuity of plot and interaction between long-established rivalries. But that elitism again rears its head. You don't get that level of pig-headedness with PL or Atlas., and they're pretty arrogant when it comes to their specialist subject. I shall be watching this however. Just because I am massively disillusioned with roleplaying within Eve, doesn't mean to say I've given up on the idea entirely. Edit: if somebody out there is taking even the slightest bit of pity towards me, I'm interested in either Caldari or Sansha rp. Help a bro out with a friendly mail pointing me in the right direction please :) Yes, I'm an alt. Deal with it.

So long as you are respectful (OOC at least!) then you should be 'accepted' sooner or later. And if not, ignore them. I agree Ugleb. I run with a bunch of OOC'ers, but I fully enjoy PVP and RP myself. I contribute to the immersion when and where I can. I have read a lot of the material and I even find PVPers getting into the story a lot. Best thing is to do your own thing and stitch it in with others. Write a blog that is setup like a captain's log or etc. Use the gate.eveonline.com site to broadcast things. Get a Twitter account for your capsuleer. Find others who are doing the same. My RP style tends to float around actual events that happen to me in game mixed with out of game events. One thing I've found is that on teamspeak and in everyday Eve related communications your character becomes you. What's interesting about Eve is that you are never given a role to pick. Like you know, "I'm the barbarian, you be the thief, etc"... what interests you as a real live person is what you gravitate to. Your involvement within the politics of Eve, or the looting of scraps, or hunting foes.. all of it... writes out who your character is. If you happen to get podded like 100 times a week. Write about it. Try to use available "game lore" you find on the Eve site and those awesome short stories to color what you write, but don't let it constrain you to feeling like you have to always do this. Use the Eve communities words.. yeah even things like getting "Concorded". Many non-roleplayers could identify and may want to join in. Be that which you want others to be. Be the example. _______________________________________ *For the Republic, For the Minmatar* http://eve.tilt180.com
olimacus Red Sky Morning	Posted - 2011.07.19 01:26:00 - [53] Originally by: Niraia That's great and all, but the player (Ghost Hunter) you use to communicate with on the Sansha side is an alliance thief who has banned me from the in-game channel that event staff roleplaying Sansha characters use to communicate the location and progress of incursions during live events. I've attempted to contact them about this and have received no response, so modified my roleplay accordingly. What good is this to me? I'm most likely alone, but I also think of pilots who would rather not associate themselves with a known thief and the kids that flock to his banner; some of which laughably aren't deemed worthy enough to be in the aforementioned channel by the aforementioned moron who owns it. Is this something you can address? I'll live, but it still leaves a sour taste. Further, it's still near-impossible for Nation loyalist capsuleers to help during unmanned incursions. Kuvakei owes me a Megathron from my last attempt :p Perhaps you would be more accepted if you were to get that breast augmentation you so desperately need?
SamuelK Natural Selection.	Posted - 2011.07.19 03:08:00 - [54] I'm simply happy some content is finally coming back into EVE. Live events and a dash of fiction is just what we needed :)
Jonathan Ferguson JC Ferguson and Son Ltd Ferguson Alliance	Posted - 2011.07.19 03:21:00 - [55] Originally by: Kyoko Sakoda I like pee. Pee in sandboxes. FYP Dear lazy, bored devs. Instead of wasting your time roleplaying for a few hours, fix your game. In sandbox games, events should be player-driven, not dev-driven. If you find yourself being forced to do this crap to keep your fanboi flock of golden geese interested, there's something wrong with your game.

Circumstantial Evidence	Posted - 2011.07.19 04:12:00 - [57] The sky is not falling, these events are not taking away time from fixing bugs. If not for a few writers creating the backstory for the sandbox, we'd all be... pushing sand around, I guess.
Imperator Sinntha	Posted - 2011.07.19 04:31:00 - [58] Live events are great. Incursions was disappointing overall as it is localized to areas with accel gates. One question though...why do the Sansha carriers not fight? During their recent invasion in Hebisa the Chimera was seemingly a sacrificial lamb. Other than a few smartbombs, why dont we see drones, fighters, or a wave of support ships? Anyways, this is a good move in my book.
Callidus Dux Caldari	Posted - 2011.07.19 05:31:00 - [59] ALL what CCP does now is worthless, useless and unwanted crap. Do something useful. - Close the NEX-Store - Bring content to the CQ (it is now absolute useless) - BRING BACK THE OLD HANGAR VIEW!!! ("The door" is a affront) - Fix Bugs (there are enough of it) - ... I do not want to interact with one of the CCP guys. -CCP vs. Player- Facepalm.. what's this crap? Do your work and fix the game and do not deviate from the current problems in EVE. Not all of us are happy with the last expansions / patches. CCP has enough proposals how to do better. Read your own forum and act! And remove the damn door in my station!!!

Vyktor Abyss The Abyss Corporation	Posted - 2011.07.19 11:04:00 - [61] To be honest, I thought the FW event in Abune last night was a bit rubbish, especially in terms of "generating more RP story" since all it involved was two opposite faction carriers sitting at a planet and writing pre-scripted guff in local and FW channels, and waiting to get blown up. There was absolute minimal "interaction" with the players so it felt like only one CCP guy was playing both sides while reading a copy of Timeout magazine, checking back on things between sips of coffee only to follow the lame sheet of A4 script. But I suppose it did at least get a few more targets in system for an hour or so doing something different than running missions in a stealth bomber. The event demonstrated how disorganised and un-enthused FW generally is right now more than anything else - when after an hour only 20 or so FW players who were mostly newbies showed up out of curiosity then got mopped up or dispersed when a relatively small organised gang of pirates came to clean up. If you at CCP class this as event success then welp \o/ ; You should really scale up your imaginations though and your thought/effort that goes into the Live events if you want to generate significant player interest. Although it is a shame the pirates felt the need to rush over to shut down the event so quickly, I understand the motivation. The exact same thing happened with old Live events, often with PL or some overwhelmingy organised blob rushing a cyno over to syetem to drop a relatively untouchable blob to grab any "phat loot". Sad there is nothing else to keep such folks busy. And while the pirates are crying about pointed carriers cloaking or warping off they need man-up and remember the mechanics of belt rats who do it too. Event ships are effectively obeying the same rules as NPCs. You blew your wad for 1 NPC carrier kill pretty much - if you'd waited longer until larger FW formed (though that's a gamble these days I guess) you might have had more fun. In future a better incentive for FW Live events at least, might be for CCP to offer Faction LP or Victory Points (if they were actually useful) as a reward to FW players showing up and taking part. Even doing the Event in a frigate only PLEX or some such environment might make it more fun. It is a sad reflection of FW that even the once popular Caldari FC, Gavin Goodridge couldn't even muster a Caldari fleet, despite being on the scene from the start. Maybe he did "dial up" pirates only they know that, but we all know the overriding truth is that low-sec boredom and coveting a phat loot drop drove the pirates there for the hope of some actual action. FW was originally a novel and fun shake up to low sec, but these days its been so ignored by CCP despite many terrible mechanics and bugs, its abuse by players (for LP farming/easy spy alts) and generally left to fester that even FW Live events won't drum up much interest. Sad times indeed, and if the events team feed anything back to CCP management, it should be that FW and low-sec in particular need much more love if you're ever to see 200+ man FW fleets again fighting eachother making proper "content".

Syekuda Hell's Revenge	Posted - 2011.07.19 12:54:00 - [63] Stfu if you can't say anything good about Faction Warfare. It's so easy to diss and destroy a feature but it actually seems hard to say something good about it. Sure theres lots of problem with FW and lots of people know about that (especially the players in FW and CCP dudes as well). And what Caldari Dux said is sooo true. I do give him credits but if these events help my gameplay and makes me happy then so be it. To CCP, just continue those live events but don't forget to work on your bugs, revamp features and making new one as well (give more time to fix bugs please lol). -------------------------------------------------- Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome. ISAAC ASIMOV

Smagd Encina Technologies Namtz' aar K'in	Posted - 2011.07.19 13:06:00 - [65] +1 for Live Events. They don't have to be grand or anything, just add a little color. One of the simplest, most awesome Live Events I've ever seen was a single Rogue Drone Hive Mother sitting in a Rookie Complex in a Rookie System challenging Local to come get her. Of course, the Acceleration Gate to these Complexes only admits Rookie Frigs... And the Hive mother was in a Dominix with Scout Drones... If you think the fun in this is the loot in the wreck, or the :awesome: PVP then you're wrong. The fun in it is 40 Rookie Frigs with everything from Civilian to T2 modules finally deciding it's safe to storm the fortress.

Throatslitter	Posted - 2011.07.19 20:05:00 - [67] Originally by: Jowen Datloran Originally by: Throatslitter Awesome! Cant wait to participate! Oh wait, I can't because it's not for all timezones, only EU (and some early US players). Way to go CCP, doesn't you game run 23/7? If you paid a tiny bit of attention during this vid you would know that CCP Dropbear and Headfirst working hours are according to EST. But I guess it's more fun to be another fool on the forums. Nice to know, so if they cover EST now, do they then do an extra 8 hrs for NZ/AU? Didn't think so.

Wyke Mossari Gallente	Posted - 2011.07.19 21:14:00 - [69] Originally by: Warmaster Abaddonn Edit: if somebody out there is taking even the slightest bit of pity towards me, I'm interested in either Caldari or Sansha rp. Help a bro out with a friendly mail pointing me in the right direction please :) If you want to get involved, you have to make the effort to understand the evolving storyline. The whole point of live events is that there is a puzzle, a challenge, the answer it's not being handed over on a plate, it requires effort and just like everything else in Eve there is a steep but rewarding learning curve. In the Sansha storyline, it revolves around trying to work out what he is up to, what is his plan, his strategy. Watch the IGS and Eve Fiction forum, pay particular attention the posts bound by coloured bars of event actors, like this and this. Watch local for teal/purple text of the event actors. Join one (some) of the many channels dedicated to the story line. Watch the recent changes of Evelopedia Join the RP channels. Join a corp with RP members that watch these channels. The clues are out there, you just have to learn how to spot them.

I appreciate that you supplied some advice in your post, but that ambiguous comment really sums up in a nutshell the attitude of a large portion of the current RP crowd. How can I make an effort to understand evolving storyline if I have the door slammed in my face with nothing more than "find the clues" whispered to me? And I'm willing to bet I'm not the only person who feels like this. Yes, I'm an alt. Deal with it.

CCP Headfirst's newest dev blog gives us the scoop on the summer of fun. Thats great fallout. But can I ask that somehow you can manage to do some of these live events during AU prime time? I have never been online at the same time as one of these live events, and they are something that I would like to be part of. I'm sure all of my corp mates would appreciate it as well.

And I'm willing to bet I'm not the only person who feels like this. I can't give you the answer, they change, that is part of the challenge. I can give you an example. I spotted this News Story, there are two easy clues in that story. The System name 'Eram' and the Scientist name 'Hilen Tukoss'. I checked the Evelopedia; Eram is basically unremarkable. I already knew the Hilen was an important character but anybody that checked the Evelopedia would also know that Hilen is an important character from past storyline threads. I travelled to Eram and Hilen was chatting in local, I found out about the Arek'Jaalan project and channel. That appears in other posts, threads, news stories and other channels. That is how my involvement in this story line began and it is still very much a work in progress. As as said originally it takes work, if you expect to be spoon fed the answers then live events are not for you, the challenge, the puzzle, the difficult is huge part of the point and reward. If you find that arrogant then

Major Ream	Posted - 2011.07.23 21:37:00 - [79] This is all part of the master plan: (1) Eff up the game bad: - Unbalance Supers so 0.0 sandbox is broken - Nerf anoms and boost officers so there's no ISK in 0.0 for individuals - Leave lowsec broken, it's been that way a long time, - Never make FW worth squat, it was broken at its launch (2) **** off all the older players that were behind player generated content (3) Now everyone is bored with just L4s and the carpalfest of PI to do (4) Create "Live Events" and Incursions because there's nothing to do any longer, as a "remedy" (5) Welcome to eve, every day will be like the last and nothing will change. No need to go through with your plan to license 3rd party sites about Eve, like Eve Tribune they're all gonna wither and die due to disinterest. -- Good frelling job.
