Yet another "free victory" for the gal/mini militias, well done CCP.
Anybody who's been in caldari / amarr militia for a bit will have bad enough standings to be instantly hounded by faction navy spawns...
It's funny really how CCP Falcon tries to uphold the charade of not favouring any factions when CCP pumps out utterly biased scenarios like this!
I wonder whats next, maybe an "awesome and cinematic" live event where THE ELDER FLEET (isn't that a cinematic and cool name!?) cyno's into Amarr and doomsdays Athra? Of course the amarr RP'ers have a chance to down the titan once their homeworld is burnt to ashes, yeah... |

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.
Leaving the militia does not reset your faction standings, so yeah, this is a heavily biased event and not worth anybodys time on the amarr/caldari side... |

Yeah being in the militia is not the problem. The problem is Laerise wrote:Anybody who's been in caldari / amarr militia for a bit will have bad enough standings to be instantly hounded by faction navy spawns...

How are the Caldari players supposed to be able to do anything when they are being hounded, NOT SOLELY BY THE FW NPC'S BUT ALSO THE GAL NAVY because they have poor standings.
They aren't.
It seems to be CCP's new policy to hand out easy victories to the gal/min militias and to exclude vast swathes of paying customers from live events.
Good job CCP :(

CCP Affinity wrote:I don't think the shame of having a Caldari Titan in your home system for 5 years is really the victory anyone would ask for :P
If you mean by that:
"The shame of having a burning titan in the orbit of your homeworld, visible to both Dusters and EVE players for eternity.
The shame of having to watch that titan being shot to pieces while being damned to watch it happen impotently.
The shame an impotent victim to the whims of a CCP employee who is evidently mad with power."
Then yes, yes I guess that's not anything a paying customer would ask for CCP Affinity. |

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.
So what you're saying is that the gal/min get yet another highly publicised "victory" handed to them because CCP Falcon says so?
LOL
GG CCP, although winning your own game with devtools must get kind of boring after a while, huh? |

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. You should also visit the Ishukone station in Malkalen and the CONCORD station in Yulai.
Or to condense this answer a bit more:
Go visit the places where the gal/min got to break the ingame rules and subsequently "won", yeah... great story mate, but I think I'd rather watch paint dry, it's much more statisfying.
To sum it up:
Yulai: A "mysterious minmatar fleet" blows up CONCORD headquarter. (Negative consequences for the minmatar? ZERO)
Ishkuone station in Malkalen: A "mysterious gallente rogue Nyx" blows up a caldari megacorp headquarters. (Negative consequences for the gallente by tomorrow? ZERO)
Luminaire: The gallente navy gets to blow up a caldari navy titan - which does not do the obvious thing ( HINT FOR CCP FALCON: It warps to the galente home world and unleashes it's DD into the atmosphere to toast all the frogs). (Negative consequences for the gallente? Let's take an educated guess here: ZERO)
Edit: Regarding the Yulai debacle, lets not forget that said "mysterious deus ex fleet" also ravages the amarr empire, rapes and pillages unhindered and then escapes with some minor losses back home.
The amarr empire, who has the largest fleet and standing ground forces obviously DOES NOT pursue the minis home to burn Pator and Rens to cinders. Oh no, they turn around at the border. LOL |

Yeah, just like the empire navies can't cyno ships around - oh wait they do all the time, in highsec.
You are so ignorant that I'm surprised you aren't rolling around the floor screaming in pain. |

They threatened to glass all the Gallente citizens within the containment districts on CALDARI Prime if the Federation attempted to take it back.
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. |

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.
Check your old forums, TonyG said the same. |

If that's true, you just ruined any chance of this being an actual live event. You just made it a FFA killfest which will do nothing to help EVE story or Live Events. I'm REALLY hoping they are wrong, I really want to believe that there are those in CCP who see the lore and story of the game as more than something to get 2000 players in a system shooting each other for no reason other than they can.
I will sit back and wait now but today will be the day that shows me if CCP are interested in story and the RP community or keeping the mass population of KM-whoring morons happy.
Bah, I guess that's the only thing we can do for now, sit back, relax, watch the fireworks and see how it goes.
Verone seems to be set on his path so all we can do is hope that caldari / amarr will get some "awesome cinematic events" as well. |

(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_RestrictionsCONCORD 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
You're the best you guys.
My faith has been restored, let's hope many frogs die and lots of fireworks are had. |
