so uncool

Why the use of so many butts?

Because he shock fists so many butts.

so uncool

From what I've gathered in this thread, it seems a lot of people expected a rigged event in safe space where they hold back red crosses and achieve the objective easily.

It didn't happen.

It seems a lot of "I know there's danger out there but it doesn't affect me" bubbles were shattered in this event.

Not sure what CCP intended with this live event.
I mean if you assemble a fleet of random highsec players who expect some sort of storyline live event thingy and then let them jump into a nullsec alliance gatecamp it's pretty obvious what the outcome will be.
The only thing this event managed to achieve is scaring off more players from ever entering low/nullsec and pimping some nullbear's killboards.

I would seriously consider reimbursing some ships. Just saying.

Id like to thanks CCP for an awesome and very educational (for some) event.

After reading about the High sec event a few days earlier, i moved an alt account to sarum prime in order to join in the fun, but i awoke on the day to read about our fleet also heading into the fray. I decided to attend both ends of the event just to compare.

Now i managed to move both my main through null sec with the EXE fleet AND an alt in high sec, and arrived at the destination with both char. Yes, there was TIDI, yes there was spam and orders from CCP were hard to find amongst that spam. BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE. Chat bars also scroll up you know? you can also open multiple at once, giving you more chance of catching the orders. You could also ask your fellow players ?

This is EVE online, or are you forgetting that. Your anger at CCP if misdirected, they just provide the sandbox, its the players that don't fully understand the space they live in causing the problems. Try forming a leadership structure, try working together. Be more organized in "highsec" as an entity rather than an area to endlessly run LVL4's or incursions in relative safety. Hell, your gonna have to soon to defend POCO's, because if you don't, null sec alliance's will own them all.

We have multiple 250 man fleets, full of TIDI, full of spam, fighting on a regular basis. The way around this is being organized and following orders. Not complaining on the forums.


I had great fun, will see you guys at the next event.

Ahaha no.

Well, if they weren't expecting a cakewalk and were expecting to die, why the massive amounts of tears?

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

Because they were probably expecting dying in a fight against NPCs and PCC maned ships, not against a third party fleet.

Had they realized that they would have to fight against a null fleet, then they probably would have done things differently.
Perhaps not much better, admittedly, but at least they would have tried; here they were expecting a somewhat PvE event and ended in a PvP fight, they were more than likely ill-prepared.

What would be interesting to know is how many would have shown to the event and in what set-up if it was all about going against null seccers from the very start...

Best post so far!!!!

Not repeating for what so many have posted before and my OP is on Page 3 (clearly you didn't read past the title). Quite clearly some can post faster than they can read.

By taking the continuous high-ground your actually being a humongous hypocrite, because your quite happy to spam negative posts without really considering the possibility of a positive view.

The point was that people expected to get a fight, they did, it wasn't red crosses or ISD's which killed them, but the same result.

I'm not trying to be but when my OP is on Page 3 you know, it stands. As I've posted above some of us didn't even get to be in the "meat grinder" or be a "lamb to the slaughter". It was declared over when I was still in TiDi in Hi-Sec moving to the 3rd staging point I think it was now and I was in Sarum Prime the night before. I moved to Ihal after disconnect, I got in fleet and we got underway...

I WANTED to lose that damn Drake for the cause, for New Eden, for the lore and for the content it would be part of as it's been sat in my hanger for so long now...

Knowing where you are going is key to ANY event not just this one...actually that is a real life concept. If you couldnt be bothered to learn what is where, what do you want CCP to do about it?

Indeed you made the choice to follow along, you could have easily backed out if you were indeed as ignorant of the details as you claim to have been.

Fast transportation was NEVER intended to be the way to get there. It was a journey to get there, you opposition you would face was kind of the point of it. Empires vs Pirates, we infiltrate their space and take down a facility...this means fighting your way through opposing forces to reach your goal...something that the majority of people STILL after the event is over fail to understand.

Plus your decision here on fast transport is somewhat irrelevant because you had the choice to either fight for the pirates or fight for empires. Instead of taking advantage of the fact null sec had home field advantage on movement you whine about it. Don't blame CCP you made the wrong choice.

If you knew in advance you would die horribly and knew you could do it without hours of tidi and other people...why in the **** did you still go? Im sorry but I cant respect someone who knows 100% they will lose, still goes with it anyway, loses, and then crys about it. Grow the **** up and be adult enough to admit defeat...move on.

u can still loose it its not to late

PVE event in NBSI space sounds like a good plan

1) Now tell me all about when you go to war in nullsec you prepare operations by slowboating a big fleet 23 jumps into hostile territory without intel.

2) Frankly, this has gone beyond old - I'm not gonna spend any more time trying to go through a wall of "I did not hear that" - no valid point has been made by the "HTFU" people regarding the trip or the event.

Do you really know what most hiseccers know about null space ?
Close to nothing.

All of them know there are PvP players who like fighting and podding, most know that the Goons exist (but not much more), only a fraction fully understand the sov system, very few know who Mittani is and close to no one is aware of the last sov dramas of null-sec.
Many don't even know that Asakai took place or the thing about CCP giving away free stuff to the lottery guys.

Of course I'm not talking about nullseccers' alts in highsec or forum hungry people.

now

@erlendur Interesting Tweet there. I wonder why @CCPGames are remaining so quiet about the rage that is going on right now then. #tweetfleet

Confirming Asbjrn is a very bad person.

That said, the announcement from CCP even said that it was likely to be dangerous and that there will be a retaliation.

Plus, we're not a third party. We were there for our serpentis bros. CFC + Serpentis = best friends forever <3

I had to LMAO of at this (Official EVE Comms as Twitter is now regarded as):



Interesting that that should be posted in the middle of a player rage-storm after they CCPd 2-3000 of us\them.

My response:

I heard that there were even Blue on Blue encounters from the Pirate Factions to their own supporters so you ain't that tight with them yo!
