haha I bet if CCP tried to lead a bunch of unprepared hisec care bears to null to purposefully get them ganked by nullsec gate camps they wouldn't have as much success as they had here.
Magnificent job CCP. Something like this could only have come about by supreme incompetence. Remember, never attribute to malice that witch can be attributed to incompetence. |

To be honest the main comments from other newer players have been long th e lines of "if that is large fleet combat it really sucks and those idiots in null can keep it" .
BTW ... I live in losec and it seems to me we get the risk of real PvP every time we undock ... certianly a lot more often than highsec (where you have carebear groups like New Order pretending that ganking is PvP) and null where they mainly carebear it up but occasionally join a corporate bun fight at allaince request.
Basically living in high is like a police state, null is like a "company mining town" where everyone crawls up the ass of the local corporate bosses and tows the company line and losec is teh wild west but unfortunately often empty. That's only partially true. While Low sec thinks they are the real deal, wormholers is the real mad max wild west. We had some noob nullsec carebears try to collapse a hole and got a freighter stuck hahahaha |

I'm almost sorry I missed it. But then I've died in enough nullsec gate-camps to 100man blobs that I would probably not have experienced anything new. Did you know a nullsec defense fleet can get a gate camp up with bubbles and all in less than 10min? Even if it is just to catch two AFs they will get 20-50 people together and drop 20+ bubbles in 10min.
Hmmm You know maybe they're bored out of their skulls if they are *that* desperate. You think maybe CCP is afraid the nullseccers are getting bored and devised this to give them some action so they wouldn't leave the game because nullsec is too safe? 
Hahahahha nah, that would reek of competence on CCP's part.  |

Anyway i would like to give some ideas about how i would organise event like that. To enter RMOC system would be posibble only being in one of 2 fleets, one fleet for pirates, another fleet for empire guys. Pirate fleet must defend Angel base, empire fleet kill it. Keep simple as possible. If bad balance, GMs can create a 100 machariel npc spawn into grid. Or 'Surprise Surprise' Republic fleet hot drop. Here so many variations to control event, just need to keep funk on.  Thanks for reading, MA. Indeed so many tools, Titan bridging, gagging comms, spawning reinforcements etc etc etc and yet, nothing was used.
CCP basically took a giant dump on the poor nullsec noobs while enjoying their office party.
But hay you gotta have your priorities straight haha  |

Really? Out of the litterally hundreds of well thought out and well articulated posts on the matter you chose MY obvious bait post to reply to?
I am not sure if I should be laughing or crying.
No matter some good discussion came from it. |

Not something we would be happy to use in an event right now. If it was an option, we'd have done it. Locking systems down in the ways that have been described is also not something we can just do at a whim (we can lock them, but we can't allow select people in based on what fleet they're in without dirty hax). Wait what now? What happend to the tools that enabled you to spawn vast sansha incursion fleets complete with follow-the-primary targetting then? that was probably pre programmed and planned while this event was not as well planned. just spawning stuff willy nilly could cause problems I can see that but that is not what I or anyone else meant. my post was just the easiest to misinterpreted. the possibility of spawning of empire reinforcements should have been planned for from the beginning as should something like titan bridging.
end of the day the event was not planned well and the obvious consequences not realised. I am even more leaning towards incompetence rather than malace now.
I mean telling thousands of players to travel 20jumps over unhardened nodes. what the heck did you THINK was going to happen? That is what I'd like an answer to. |

I almost want to say that the absense of an announcement only event channel (in addition to all the other channels) borders on malicious intent but I just can't shake that underlying feeling of incompetence. I hope the dev blog answers these questions. |

Apologies for all the lag and tidi guys. We have tons of systems reinforced, including Sarum Prime and other systems. #tweefleet It's more of a "time allowed to complete" issue or in IT speak TTL AKA Time To Live (ha ha) and co-ordination, communication, organisation and -insertword-tion that we are waiting to hear about. I heard that there was no tidi in sarum but the systems they were told to travel along had as bad as 10%tidi. somewhere they misjudged horribly. |

Although as a game master myself, I am shocked that you didn't have multiple blogs ready go covering the whole range of possible event outcomes. Take blog closest to how things actually turned out, tweak it and add details, and publish it within hours of the event ending. The basic game master technic of being prepared for all outcomes would have made this entire thing much better for you. I'm sure they had, they just didn't have any prepared for a buck up of this magnitude. |

hahaha.
gonna have fun disecting this.
one thing I do want to make very clear for ccp directly because of how this event went: don't ever EVER get it into your heads to do any kind of event in our WH space. I will do all in my power to buck it up and then unsub. we got enough of your ccp BS to deal with in whs, we dont need ACTUAL ccp bucking us up directly. |
