Dear Octoven, do you work for Twitter?

It's just that you seem to have a thing about it.

Those weren't NPCs, those were actual characters made by CCP and with someone controlling them. On 8V- side they were also flying vindicators, and FYI a vindi up close hurts like being hit by a truck.

A truck speeding on a highway, with nitro on.

I think the other side faced Machs, which aren't really that much of an improvement when it comes to being on the receiving end. And those things weren't even faction fit :)

(Was shot at by the Vindi side of business, survived because our logis were absolutely boss that night.)

So basically, while CCP fleet leaders were abandoning players in Doril, a bunch more CCP employee were actually manning Vindicator's fighting for fun in the actual systems where the events were taking place......

Just wanted to confirm that.

Just the same, if CCP had sent the message ingame in Sarum local to move to ihal...1200 people would all be moving at the same ******* time triggering tidi in every system they went through for 23 jumps. However, by releasing it to twitter and a small group of viewers, it allowed some to trickle out, once enroute, they forward the message to another group and so on and so forth. Only it didnt work as intended because a bunch of idiots decided to post in sarum local AND the events channel the twitter link and the message...at which point what remaining people decided to ALL move at once. Guess what happened? ******* TiDi for 23 jumps. Disclosing of information to move a mass of people needs to be slowly distributed, posting it on twitter was supposed to do that. Had no one said it in every ******* channel it would have worked too. Alas the human notion is to spread rumors as we hear them.

Can anyone from the pissed off point of view please post what they did expect to happen in nullsec ?
no bullshit just want to know

You're missing the point. In nullsec, we expected to die. To fight and die, actually, at a live event target system.

We expected also to actually get there. Of course, once you've jump-cloned, grabbed the cheap ship, flown to a freaking system, got into a fleet and waited half an hour... you're not going home. You know it's gonne be a big **** up but the evening is gone, you might as well have some fun. See the pretty sight before or while razor or whomever pods you.

What I personally did not expect was to travel 10 hisec systems to get to the real staging point, which was 2 systems out from where I started when flying to meves.
What I did not expect was not to have any information from CCP - I was in meves at 18.33 - never saw ONE line from CCP representative. Only people spreading rumors and an endless chat spam.

Anyone else?

You know, we've been saying these things for 37 pages. Why don't you go read some of that? Would be nicer than ask everyone to indulge you and repeat the obvious once again.

You know, then maybe instead of crying CCP you could draw some conclusions and learn? Like "Get organized" "Get your own FCs"?

It's hard to blame the devs for your own lack of preparation.

Mr did i ask your expectasions only. are u the only one on this forum. if so i let u have YOUR forum in peace. i wanted a idea of what they did expect. not rage and unsubscribing acounts. if u got a problem with that im sorry on your behalf

LOL. Don't patronize me, chances are I'm older than you - and certainly no less aggressive with words.

The information you look for is all in the thread; I'm just sorry I answered you out of courtesy before knowing what an presumptuos person you are. Have fun.

That is a funny statement, this is hisec and the fleets are pure kitchen sink. I was in a fleet with 250 members and a decent FC, this is way more than you could expect from carebears. The issue is still the event and not the players in the event...

I do have funn every single day. i dont get mad at forums i started reading the 30 pages but it turned in to kindergarden materials so i asked a simple question. and if u played sins 2010 and u are probably older than me so what. was that the question?. wel have funn but for OTHER than old mature "Killerjock" same question What was actualy expected?

So what, should they have organized it in hisec space, gave carebears invulnerability mode and barricade the gates so that ebil piwates can't barge in to ruin the rollercoaster ride?

Ah i Got it, we should've trickled, but we moved all together. Only we didn't - I never was in a system over 130 people except meves and stacmon.
But if we didn't go together and we trickled, CCP devious plan was succesfful! we had no tidi! Nah, we had tidi. With 130 people in local.
And when we finally came to the funnel, the losec and nullsec people where there - because they did not have to travel 23 jumps.

They knew where we would go; they knew the exact time. They are organized by definition. So they mounted a fleet and bridged or cynoed there from staging, bubbled to their heart content, and got bored for about one hour till the first of us actually "trickled" there. How long does it take a RAZOR fleet to jump to a known system near staging once you know in advance there's gonna be an op? Once the fleet is formed, I'd be surprised if it took more than 15 minutes. Let's say half an hour.
You still have another 10-15 minutes to get bored before a fleet of 200 can slowboat 23 jumps to there - especially if the last 8 jumps are in hostile territory.

So even without TIDI, we would've been thrown to a meatgrinder. Even without tidi, "trickling" people would just make then obvious targets. With TIDI, kitchen sink fleets, and trickling.... I don't have to say it - you've seen it.

So, simply put, I do not believe that you actually say this things and believe them. You're obviously playing oblivious on purpose. TO not figure this out before... it's bad enough. To claim you didn't after it's been explained so long is unwillingness to argument.

I'm detecting vast quantities of rear pain. Sensors cannot handle this magnitude, please advise~

Well, to start there was plenty of RP elements involved. The RP goes: Empires tried to stop Serpentis activities in Outer Regions. Serpentis were aided by Outer Region inhabitants and held the empire forces back, delivering some righteous smackin' in the process. In fact, smackin' so hard it was heard by crying pods all the way back to trade hubs.

So how do you think it should've gone down then? What's the magical solution that would've made it better?

About langage yes you are right. and you did get my question. but i wanted more that 2 Knowital`s tears that is the forum`s role. and if u can see somone else is not having English as first language or not if that is al you can come up with as an insult i do appologise. Thanks for the effort but its not enough

You misunderstand my question as an insult, or is not being able to speak or write in English an insult? If the latter I apologize for the hurt feelings.

There was RP on the empire side, it just probably got drowned in spam.

That said, awaiting to see the magical way this event could've been made better. For us it was a blast so how could it be more awesome?
