Calathorn Virpio ZionTCD Legacy Rising 18	Posted - 2013.03.22 20:33:00 - [1] - Quote really, how many "this was scripted" posts need to be made for you to own up? 30 dreads blaping a titan was a TAD obvious, but no counter attack? really? CCP are the French gate camping=/=PVP everything else is fair game
Inkarr Hashur Sine Nobilitatis 277	Posted - 2013.03.22 20:36:00 - [2] - Quote I'm just mad no Gallente civilians got Doomsday'd. And I'm not even emotionally invested in either the Feds nor Statists. Hold a hostage at gunpoint, the cops spend 20 minutes barging down your door, you don't just kill the hostage?
Steve Spooner Divine Spirit DSM Strategic Operations Brigade 6	Posted - 2013.03.22 20:37:00 - [3] - Quote From before the event even started people were saying the whole thing was scripted, and violaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa it was ******* scripted. What did you expect? CCP actually tell the truth to the players and tell us "no matter what you do the Titan will die". Oh but the marketing.

Actus Ner Future Corps Sleeper Social Club 0	Posted - 2013.03.22 21:00:00 - [5] - Quote Doomsdays only work in nullsec, it's unlikely CCP wanted to mess with game mechanics just for a live event

And I'm not even emotionally invested in either the Feds nor Statists. Hold a hostage at gunpoint, the cops spend 20 minutes barging down your door, you don't just kill the hostage? Actually I like it this way better. That way the State can say they were all humanitarian and did not kill all those people. Instead they can rage against Gallente for endangering the civilians and causing the deaths and whatnot (look up Endor Extinction Event :P). Black and white is too simple.

That's incredibly disingenuous as you can't call a kidnapper humanitarian if he decides not to kill his hostage. Mutually Assured Destruction isn't a black and white concept, but a morally grey one.
iyammarrok The Synenose Accord Celestial Imperative 20	Posted - 2013.03.22 22:16:00 - [9] - Quote FFS. At no point did anyone say the entire event revolved around the destruction or survival of the damned titan. PEOPLE ASSUMED IT WAS. oh look. They were wrong. HTFU and get over it. The real event is the current battle on the ground and in space to determine the lore OWNER of the planet after the dust settles. is that not obvious enough. you want to try to affect the end result, get out there and choose a side, don't sit here providing sweet tears due to a single aspect of the event being scripted.

Abrazzar Vardaugas Family 1156	Posted - 2013.03.23 01:23:00 - [12] - Quote I assume creating a custom 'QA' item that imitates the function of a DDD without technically being one isn't a possibility? Mining Overhaul Nothing changed since 2008.

Exactly. Why can't you create a dummy module that shows the DD fireworks then use your dev tools to make a Gallente Dread explode. /kill Gallente_Dread_5

There was no way we could used it without rewriting fundamental game code, something that wasn't feasible. You know, a lot of people mistook the point of the event to be about the Titan. Including me. Did you guys anticipate that? There's been absolute silence since the last news post, for a long time now.

iyammarrok The Synenose Accord Celestial Imperative 30	Posted - 2013.03.23 10:04:00 - [18] - Quote They used RP to show the DD firing instead. and allowed it to target subcaps. be happy that they did that at all rather than just saying 'CONCORD stopped it working' also, she was keeping the DD ready to fire at the planet in the case of her loss. it was the capsuleers in the battle that apparently stopped her from cracking the crust of Caldari Prime as her last act. So. if nothing else, the fact that the Caldari still have a 'home' to fight for is in the hands of those who were defending the planet against the orders of an insane executor and his provist lackeys.

This is the problem everyone is having with RP in EVE. To create RP magic you need to be able to trust the GMs to bend the laws of physics, in this case hardcoded system mechs. For a game loosely styled on MtG they've not been able to take the exceptions to the rules far enough. I enjoyed the event's so far. All three of my bods were involved in some way. From populating the Luminare market with ammo only to have a State alt buy it all up( ... that was a big deal btw) to the frustration of getting locked out of Luminaire and having perceived vital storyline courier missions impeded, on to scrapping with hostiles on the gates along side Fed Navy brethren. You make your own game. Sure there are tonnes of things I'd have done differently, but I'm not running the show, I'm taking part in it. Letting the plot slip on test servers is a big no no tho, I guess you don't need to be told that.

DiKKy Heartiez Hearties Industrial Incorporated 5	Posted - 2013.03.23 11:27:00 - [21] - Quote Obviously CCP favours the Gallente. This is most likely due to the many new players(n00bs) in their ranks.
Alesius Lerance Worlds Without Boundaries 0	Posted - 2013.03.23 11:47:00 - [22] - Quote How are we supposed to continue fighting for Caldari prime when no one has suspect flags or marked as "In the hostile fleet" ?

They just used dev commands to make the CONCORD / DED ship go pop, and said the DD was responsible for it or something along those lines. In this dark void we are like brilliant stars, holding within us both the creative and destructive power to bring a new dawn upon worlds or plunge them into eternal darkness.
