Was looking forward to this event, glad IRL events prevented me from showing up now lol. I had no idea what to expect I was going to use my prized CNR. (I'm a fairly new noob, only 10m SP)

Lucky escape I guess. What actually happened? Any empire fighting at all? Or just null sec players having a field day?

13 page post and not 1 dev chiming in yet? Lol

My question to all you fine folks? Aren't live events supposed to have some type of meaning to them? Hmm. Sounds like ccp feed you to the nullseccers. You jumped into a gate camp you say? Lol!

What dd you guys expect? You jumped into null you were killed. I understand there was no event content. Ccp deliberately fed you to the beast deal with it because that was the intentions. Now the nullseccers can plex easier.

You're all going to be even more annoyed when you realise the people who turned your fleet into a turkey shoot were AFK.

Drone assist isn't broken at all.

This isn't a highsec vs nulsec thing, people are not happy about the way CCP handled it... but nobody is bitter about nulsec corps taking advantage of an opportunity that was put on a plate for them.

I absolutely adored this event. At first I thought the CCP would just respawn a titan in a hi-sec, let some carebears shoot it, then let some pirates shoot those carebears and then leave CONCORD do everything "just right"...but this. This was f***ing great!

All these posts from people who learned the hard way what an organized null-sec fleet is made my morning.

So... since the null alliances sided with the Pirates, I guess they'll be persona non grata in high-sec now?

The NPC FCs were playing in character very well, i.e. Empire navy commanders who don't give a crap about the capsuleers following their instructions.

As I said in another thread on this if you lost your ship to a gatecamp it is entirely your fault, not the CCP FC. Would you fly a battleship through the Doril gate on any other day without scouting it out? If so come back tomorrow, there will be plenty of people waiting there to say hi.

The NPC FC gave instructions as to the destination. How you flew there was up to you. Taking the shortest path through Low/Null sec, from High sec, without scouting it out was stupid regardless of what the NPC said to do. If you plan to fly through these sort of systems at least use a cloaky ship otherwise go around or go in co-ordinated and prepared.

If you are going to completely entrust the safety of your ship and pod to a stranger in local chat, NPC Actor or not, who is telling you to jump into a Low/Null sec system then you deserve to lose it. I flew in a stealth bomber because I expected camps and trouble and I was able to fly through four of them without incident. Many other players flew around the camps to the destination systems.

All this event shows is that most EVE players need someone else to micromanage them and tell them how to think and act, otherwise they just fly to their deaths like a bunch of drunken lemmings.
