Live Events fleets will form from Live Events.
You also want the two CCP run channels, as CCP will use those for any actor speak or local.
Other than that, fleet chat probably.

18:50? Why?

18:50? Why?

two staging systems...two 1.0 systems.... no comunity for flashies...

Is it worth a new player joining this?
Like a 2-mil pt character in a Talwar or will I just be fodder and last 20 seconds?!

And even if you do get nuked in seconds EVE is a game designed to be fun, and what is more fun than exploding in a glorious ball of fire and molten metal. though considering the Talwar is a minmatar ship you might survive longer than most people as you might be mistaken for an already destroyed ship.

So let me get this straight.

The forces of good fleet meets up in Sarum Prime at 18:30.
Meantime, CCP has announced in a forces of evil post that asshats can hammer empires at 18:50 in Utopia or MD-.

Sounds like the lambs are being led to the slaughter.
I am reasonably certain that PL and CFC will have moved their supercaps into those systems and logged them off at POS's, long before CCP cyno-jams the systems.

This stupid divide betwen "good and evil" in my EVE... never. Also we don't know where will it happen those four know system are supose be only "staging/form up" ones.

Attention mass of people in Sarum Prime. We kindly ask you start trickling over to Ihal for the event. #eveonline #tweetfleet

Is anyone going to stream this on Twitch?

No fleet reps in Sarum Prime? Why even advertise this as a "staging point" if you are not going to use it?

Yay, arrived two hours in advance ................ and it's 10% tidi the whole way. Will take about three hours to do the 20 jumps to Ihal.

It gets better. The high sec fleet that is heading to Utopia won't even make it as the null sec fleet is waiting for them at Doril.
Most of the people that gathered in high sec for this event won't even make it.

This is a giant troll by CCP to give null sec players more epeen and kills, nothing more.

CCP Fozzie just told everyone to go 20 jumps at 10% TiDi. I'm over it. I don't even care. That's like 3-4 hours of travel. WTF CCP can't you math? Real let down. /disappointed

Where is it going, so people can catch up.

Well, it's a sandbox after all. Too bad CCP didn't think of people who like breaking other people's sand castles, but oh well, it's fun watching the livestream.

Then why did CCP offer pirates the chance to join in?

Well that's because this event was intended for everyone to take part, not just high sec people. If you bothered to look, the news about where to start in null was announced hours before the event began

No communications from CCP, huge gate camps preset by 0.0 residents who apparently had prior warning to be waiting, what was the point?

SANDBOX! what do you not understand about that

SANDBOX! what do you not understand about that

To be fair to CCP, we didn't get any prior warning... of course, when your fleets came straight at where we are staged, we didn't need it!

I just sincerely hope that there was no significant loot dropped at any point.

Ref: EMPIRE NAVIES PUT OUT CALL FOR CAPSULEER ASSISTANCE

I'm looking for the in-game coms channel for the Sarum Prime fleet. ...are capsuleers just using "Live Events"?

Just from the hundreds of wrecks offered up on the altar...

It was a trap.

a hidden jumpgate

Between SOMER offering a billion ISK for people who buy GTCs through him and this abortion of an event I'm pretty well over it. I need an EvE break.

The Empires called for Capsuleer support and didn't even field anything themselves not a single empire navy deployed any forces to the assault they just left their capsuleer supporters hung out to freeze in space

Next time the Empires call for help. There is going to be much less support from the Capsuleer.

I want to preface this post with the fact the I appreciate the live events team for all their efforts.

< quitting eve, who wants my stuff?

I am curious if CCP is aware of how incredibly frustrated the vast majority of participants are in the fact they never actually got to participate in any form of event. This showed a complete lack of planning(or was it) in having almost 2000 players or more(just from the amarr region perspective) travelling 17/23 jumps under 10% tidi to face gatecamps and secondary rerouting to the main area which the"actual event" was over well before the vast majority of players had even had time to travel said jumps .

While most of these live events understandably face unforeseen circumstances mainly caused by player actions...CCP has had 10 years to know what the hell we are gonna do with it when given the opportunity.

If you are gonna hold these types of events in the future please ensure the people that show up can at least feel like they contributed something other than a giant conga line thru empire at ridiculously slow speeds.

I enjoyed the fast response from the resident yarr! and alliances that chose to face us and yes i lost a ship but was reshipped in less tha3 mins thx to slow warps during tidi allowing me to purchase an entire fit and have time for bio/smoke during a one sys warp.

The real fail lies solely in the hands of CCP right now....remember....WE are the game

So Trusting a CCP FC when he said "ahoy boys lets go null and kill serpentis safely for ze empire!" should be that kind of naiveness..

The part where the all powerful omni-potent rulers of the sandbox let down a huge part of the players in that sandbox.

We're not upset about the people who decide "we'd rather blow up the live event people then help them" that's called living in a sandbox. It's when the people who you pay real world money (aka NOT sandbox money) tell you that they will be doing something fun in the sandbox and would like you to come along then **** you over that's when you get upset.

Nullsec got its killmails, CCP will sell PLEX so lost ships can be replaced and Highsec got to learn an important lesson.
