Speaker4 theDead Furian Necromongers 17	Posted - 2013.03.22 18:15:00 - [1] - Quote Why would you hold a live event, then prevent most people from being involved? If you really can't provide the level of equipment needed to actually allow players to play the game, then you have failed at this idea... Of course a sharded universe in EvE would probably be even a bigger failure, so maybe you should invest in equipment that can actually provide the service you claim to?
Doc Fury Furious Enterprises 1181	Posted - 2013.03.22 18:16:00 - [2] - Quote No, but they sure did cause a lot of forum tears. My bucket runneth over. /CCP troll is best troll The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the ho's and politicians will look up and shout 'Save us!' and I'll look down, and whisper 'no.'

Klarion Sythis Quantum Cats Syndicate Samurai Pizza Cats 154	Posted - 2013.03.22 18:24:00 - [7] - Quote Single shard doesn't mean single system. Are so many people really just figuring out how this game works? The tears of uninformed entitlement are reaching flood levels today.

What hi said if jita is going lagy on 2000k ppl not doing much 1000 ppl shooting will make a mess having ccp letting in ~1600 ppl shooting + navy thing going on + console game kicking hamsters in the nuttsack as well......well that was overkill What the hell are ppl expecting!! But CCP made mistake lifting cap to ~1600. http://i.imgur.com/1N37t.jpg http://i.imgur.com/KTjFEt6.jpg I dont always fly stabber but when i do...

Winters Chill Ministry of War Amarr Empire 98	Posted - 2013.03.22 18:31:00 - [11] - Quote Actually the early event that involved bits of a jove pod pilot was the best event.
KIller Wabbit The Scope Gallente Federation 338	Posted - 2013.03.22 18:33:00 - [12] - Quote CCP - thanks for turning Concord back on without warning us. Class move CCP Punkturis-á "I want to get in on the goodposter circle jerk!"
Herzog Wolfhammer Sigma Special Tactics Group 2511	Posted - 2013.03.22 18:50:00 - [13] - Quote I would not think they are a total fail. While I have some complaints on the matter, I think they simply underestimated the importance of storyline-related live events to the player base. Yeah, CCP failed to realize that we eat this stuff up. Everybody who is not into this has to realize, if you like reading science fiction, and the game you play is based on that genre and has books based on it, and the game has events in it that are going to be reflected on in those books, it's like actually being IN the book. Every time the topic comes up, I try to remind people that this could be the future of books. Not just books that you read and collect, but stories that you participate in while the series progresses. If there was ever a marketer or publisher brainstorming over how to sell books, and an MMO, and from an education perspective, how to encourage young people to read more, THIS would be it. This would be the perfect storm of accomplishing those goals. So not all of Eve Online is bored gankers mindlessly killing everything that moves, and bored miners sucking rocks till they are bored out of the game. Hopefully CCP would realize what they have here, and the potential for it. It might change the way books and games are sold.
Mr Kidd Center for Advanced Studies Gallente Federation 1076	Posted - 2013.03.22 18:57:00 - [14] - Quote This isn't the first time CCP has had a live event. Given that Jita can accommodate quite a few more players, live events always draw interest, it was utter fail that CCP capped the system at 1025 when I was in it for an hour. HTFU!...for the children!
Angelique Duchemin Serenity Prime Kraken. 308	Posted - 2013.03.22 19:25:00 - [15] - Quote I have been avoiding this whole thing in it's entirety by hunkering down with a bag of chips and a game of "Don't starve" but let me see if I get this straight. They invited the whole community to a massive pvp event and then the whole thing toppled because too many people showed up. Despite them hosting the event and being ready for a player spike way in advance? We miss you Saede.
Beekeeper Bob Beekeepers Anonymous 527	Posted - 2013.03.22 19:35:00 - [16] - Quote I checked the calendar, it's not April Fool's day yet...Guess CCP is starting early.... The single biggest danger to EVE is the proliferation of ALTS! Kill an alt today! Petition for a Minimum bounty of 10 mil. Prevent useless bounties!

Despite them hosting the event and being ready for a player spike way in advance? No, not really. There was a system cap of 1600 people, so there was a considerable group at the entrance gates waiting their turn. Once people started dying many of those people waiting got in... while many that died went back in the que to wait their turn. Also, many people don't really understand what 13% Tidi means, and think that they were lagging out when their computer didn't respond to their commands immediately. To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base.

Jenn aSide STK Scientific Initiative Mercenaries 1515	Posted - 2013.03.22 19:51:00 - [20] - Quote Very easy solution. Next time hold the event 1 jump into null sec, that will eliminate 95% of high sec participation in a snap, thus no lag.
baltec1 Bat Country 5693	Posted - 2013.03.22 20:03:00 - [21] - Quote Still a bigger fight than any other MMO can pull off
S'Way Bitter Vets 484	Posted - 2013.03.22 20:05:00 - [22] - Quote The mind boggling thing is they limited the number of people in Jita at a time - then decided to hold an event for everyone who wants to take part in a single system. The only way a live event would be a real success is by spreading the event over a few systems (say a constellation), that way there's no need for queues to get into one single laggy system.

I tend to agree with this, they need to take the strain off of individual systems in a large scale event like this... however that means that any Dev's present will need to be spread throughout those systems as well which puts a strain on manpower.

I was at work during the EvE portion of the event and had zero chance of doing either one. Perhaps I too should start a whine thread. Edit: I was able to watch the live stream however, which was a nice touch.
