Capsuleers,
For five years a wall of Caldari steel has sat in orbit of the besieged planet of Caldari Prime. The Gallente who still reside there cower in its shadow, held to ransom on the whim of Caldari State Executor, Tibus Heth.
Soon, it will be time for you to show your worth, and display your prowess on the battlefield. You've all come so far in the last ten years, and the time draws closer when your immortal brethren on the ground will begin to assist you in shaping the political landscape of New Eden.
A storm is coming, and when it arrives your actions could either assist in maintaining a fragile stability, or usher in a new era in politics that will resonate across every world in New Eden.
You can read more about the storm that is brewing here.

CONCORD and the navies will still be on the prowl for those who choose to breach the Yulai Convention.
At the same time, trust me, you'll be able to shoot at eachother.

To clear up the most common question:
It's not physically possible to just "turn off" factional warfare NPCs, or the status of a system as a Factional Warfare system. Whether or not players decide they want to depart from the militia for a few days or not is entirely their own choice.

If you actually bother following the news, you'll see that all 4 empires are in the process, or have been through a purging of mercenary enclaves.

This is one of the reasons why we are streaming the event - so that those that are unable to participate can still see what's going on. It's regrettable that the nature of the event and logistics of running the event don't allow for 24 hour coverage, but them's the breaks. CCP Goliath | QA Director | EVE Illuminati | @CCP_Goliath |

From our standpoint, it's not. Manpower drops at the weekend, for obvious reasons. CCP Goliath | QA Director | EVE Illuminati | @CCP_Goliath |

Octoven wrote:The real ironic part I find funny is that Any Gallente militia toons can show up and not only hold a tactical advantage of having their NPC big brothers to protect them, but they can also OB dusties.
As I understand it, and thanks to CCP's brilliant game design, you can only OB if you are in FW. Since Caldari militia will most likely be targeted by NPC Battleships and player militia, it stands to reason that CCP is essentially precluding you from being able to OB unless you are signed up for Gallente militia. If you are signed up for Caldari, you will find it damn near impossible to get off a OB shot before being gunned down by NPCs.
Meanwhile, Gallente are free to OB. It seems that there is no way to play this from the Caldari side. Another blow to Caldari pilots. Give it time and no one will even play the race let alone fly their ships.
You can also only OB if you are in a Factional Warfare system.
Luminaire is not a factional warfare system.

Quick question for those dissatisfied with Gallente NPC aggression in Luminaire.
When you took the decision to join FW and war with the Gallente, you understood at the time that it would cause faction standing loss, and that it would cause NPCs to aggro you if you entered a system hostile to you. Given that EVE is a game known for having consequences matter, what makes this different from any other reason you might have to want to enter space owned by those that are hostile to you? There's no "you can't enter" sign on the gate; it's just more difficult for you to be in that system, which seems perfectly natural to me as you chose to be at war with the faction that controls it.

Is this live event something that players can influence the outcome of? If so, by omitting the majority of those people who've been fighting for FW this is pretty ******.
However, if this live event has a pre-determined outcome, just let us know that is the case and we can happily just watch the show.
Events where players can completely rewrite the outcome from the ground up are something I would love to see happen someday and I think a lot of people here share that dream. However we are still building up our capabilities in this area and that's not something we're ready to pull off yet. Game Designer | Team Five-0 https://twitter.com/CCP_Fozzie |

Is this my last chance to see an actual titan idly floating around in high security space? If so, I'll make sure to travel to Luminaire in a few minutes. Being a new player to EVE I don't think I'll be seeing a capital ship in first person any time soon. Edit: Oooooh. Looked it up ingame, tooltip says it's 18 km in length. That's huuuuuugh. I'm going to go sightseeing. Luminaire is most certainly a good sight-seeing destination, more so now than ever.

Might also want to remember that the threat the Provists made to the Federation had nothing to do with Gallente Prime.
They threatened to glass all the Gallente citizens within the containment districts on CALDARI Prime if the Federation attempted to take it back.

Icelandic work rules or something apparently doesn't allow CCP event "masters" to work outside M-F 9-5 Iceland tz. Annoying as hell - especially when the customers are willing to alarm clock CTE's on the weekend wherever necessary. You would think Marketing/Sales would step in and explain the concept of comp time and not screwing over a large portion of the customer base consistently.
Also, this is not the case.
I'm at work right now and have been for the last 12 hours. It's 21:04. The issues that we have regarding manpower have nothing to do with working hours.

Well Verone, look back in time to when TonyG was head of the fluff. He managed to drive away 50% of the old guard active RP enablers of the caldari and amarr. I'm not going to tell you how to run your show man, but consider that you're about to drive off the other 50% if you stay your current course.
The fact of the matter is that things are changing.
I was a roleplayer in EVE from release until I was hired. I share the sentiments of the vast majority of the RP Community when it comes to storyline. If you could see things through my eyes now, you'd know that things are changing for the better. CCP Abraxas and CCP Gnauton are doing an absolutely amazing job.
You're attempting to crucify people before you've even seen the tip of the iceberg. For things to get better, they first have to get worse. A lot of wrongs will be righted, and a lot of new avenues for conflict will be opened up.
Patience is a virtue.

War on the impossible ;) There will be 1 spawn of 4 NPCs that can easily be taken care of but the further spawns after the initial have been disabled.

(This does NOT affect the police response to crimes and outlaws - CONCORD consequences will still be in effect for now) To expand a bit on the above reply:
DISABLED: Faction Navy.
The Faction Navy will not respond in Luminaire regardless of your faction status with the Gallente Federation, e.g., regardless of if you are allied with opposing factions.
NOT DISABLED, still in full effect: Faction Police and CONCORD.
The Faction Police is still operating and will respond if pilots with a bad security status enter the system (note, your security status is your standings with CONCORD). Since Luminaire is a 1.0 system then pilots with a security status of -2.0 or worse will be attacked by the Faction Police. For more details, please read http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Security_status#Security_Status_and_Traveling_Restrictions
CONCORD is also still operating and will respond to criminal acts with deadly force. For more details on Crimewatch and CONCORD's response, please read http://community.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&nbid=73443 Erlendur S.

I can't log in my character there that I literally spent hours with moving in equipment in order to participate. Oh wait - U.S. tz here. Short. stick. end. Remind me which CSM candidates have a cross section of non-EU tz and Live Eventson their platform? Further thought - if you are going to over hype these things you need to come up with a system that won't waste customer time. How about a participation lottery? Something that get's drawn against days ahead of time. Then players can chose to use or sell the "ticket". Add'tl - ROFLMAO The blue donut people must be rolling on the floor - they fight under TiDi all the time. Live Events afraid of going into overtime?
We won't be able to announce when it gets altered due to the speed at which we will be managing it. Unfortunate, but unpreventable. TiDi will be in full effect in the event, but it can only go so far. Better to rev up slowly and ensure a stable environment than open the floodgates and hope for the best.

What will the range be on the capping? 1000 <> 1500 or 1800 <> 2500? What's likely? What would you estimate? We'd love to form up tribe and join in on the festivities, but if I am gonna spend 30 min. trying to get 100 tribbles through the gate we might as well go roam or something.
My estimate is probably worth nothing, but I would love to see 2k! I'm not a server dude though, so don't know if that is feasible. Rest assured, it is not me that's on the dial

We'll be increasing the cap as we can, keeping a close eye on how the servers are handling the load. However we will be waiting until the fighting starts before cranking up the cap, as the CPU load per pilot now is much different than it will be then.
