I heard about tidi and half of people dieng on the way to event.
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
I am eagerly awaiting this dev post.
dis gon b gud You're making a lot of assumptions on the tools there. For example, NPC spawning at the moment is 1. very costly at server level, 2. notoriously unpredictable. 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).
Not to mention gagging comms in an event seems counter-intuitive to the spirit of eve's freedom of action.
It is of course possible to have both.
A seperate read only event channel plus normal local.
Something for everyone,
Sometimes it is necessary for a gardener to prune a plant, to remove animal droppings, for a garden to be beautiful.
Agreed eve is a sandbox, but it is everyones sandbox. sometimes it needs a little cleaning.
An assumption has developed where certain groups believe that EvE is only for them.
Everyone must be converted to their view of EvE or leave.
Things like EvE is hard HTFU go play WOW carebear. It's a sandbox we will crap in it if we want.
Read these a lot the last few days
Fun phrases, but remember the phrase We are one We are EvE ! for example and many many others that do not say that the whole point of the game is to make others miserable??
Sure chest beating and verbal warpaint is appropriate for certain warrior aspects of the game, but is damn silly on a market trader for example
People have come to believe their own propaganda is EvE.
This is the toxic culture we are referring to.
The problem is that they believe this is company policy.
It is time to correct this misunderstanding and make clear our values.
This thread has done that. We look forward to CCP reminding us of their values.
Eve is a place we all live some to build and some to dream.
Let us all share eve and make it a place where we truly can reach for the stars
