Shock Fist Deadly Shadow Clan Executive Outcomes 22	Posted - 2013.11.09 22:04:00 - [811] - Quote People had issues with an event in an MMORPG which in itself has a 100% chance to be affected by player standards of gaming, this isn't WoW where you have to duel people to get a fight, this is EvE online - people are gonna die, welcome to the game we love and play. Of course, feel free to keep throwing (albeit quiet) tears around :sun:

Hey, shooting someone and loving them isn't exactly mutually exclusive. "My little AHAC: Lasers are Magic". Also, it's weekend. They're probably not at work atm, we'll hear from them on monday. All very valid points. Have a great weekend and fly recklessly

CFC + Serpentis = best friends forever <3 Since you have utterly failed at reading comprehension let me enlighten you as to the actual thrust of most of the 'high sec' complaints. CCP told us where to stage, no further information until after the event had started. We were staged 20-40 jumps from the end destination (Sarum Prime people had to move about 40 overall). Then gave only intermediate destinations along the way with limited options of routes. Fleets moving along those routes were typically in 10% TiDi. Individuals could obviously break out faster but moving in a coherent fleet that wasn't going to get ganked 1 by 1 meant TiDi. CCP then started the 'event' well before any of the fleets from high sec had a chance of getting to their destinations, had the Empire flee from the field mere minutes after, & declared the event ended entirely before most fleets were even into null sec. In contrast, the 'pirates' got staged one system from the destination, and local sov holders already had large forces in the doril region due to existing fighting. Meaning that the 2000+ (I'd say 3000+ initially from what I saw) High sec players who were attempting to attend the event got denied by CCP's decision on starting & finishing the event before they could even get near the target system due to TiDi warps along a massive convoy route. That is what the rage is about. It's not tears over loosing ships, every fleet I know of was advised they would loose ships, anyone who asked in Live Events before hand was told they would almost certainly be going to Low or Null by older hands at Live Events. But we expected the opportunity to at least participate in the event, not be denied simply because CCP couldn't be bothered to give us the time to get there when they had to know how long it would take us.
litle grasshopper Sabotage Incorporated Executive Outcomes 4	Posted - 2013.11.09 22:18:00 - [816] - Quote in befor thread is closed! also anyone that thinks they ca disjointedly wonder in to null sec solo regardless of ccp event or not needs a reality check, id be intrested to know how many fleeted up with their corp and their corps FC and attempted to make it there, I did, in a t1 cruiser and got a 3 bill kill on a pod, i have terrible skills but i was in an organised fleet , this is an MMO requireing interaction, nobody flying solo is gonna have fun at an event like this. So if your used to sitting in your nice safe minning corp/mission running corp, not talking to anyone no this is gonna be terrible, you will attempt to put put over to the system exspecting ccp to keep you safe(it is after all a ccp run event so must be safe) and then your gonna warp in and shoot some red crosses and ........ yeah sorry i have no idea what you thought seriously re evaluate your game play. CCP this wasnt a spectacular even but an awsome catalist to some of the best fun ive had in game IN A LOOOOONG TIME, thanks

That said, I think I can see where this will go - CCP will announce the incompetence of fleet commanders as purposeful. The empires are bad for you: they tried to gather your help for a last, desperate push against an enemy they couldn't break themselves. They failed, big time - underestimating the capability and will of nullsec entities to defend their territories. Overestimating their ability to organize attacks. It's pointless to put artificial borders between "roleplay event" and actual history that happened. It wasn't a bunch of griefers ruining an event for their sick amusement. Sure, rear ends of many people met the boot at muzzle velocity that night but... likely many of those who administered the smacking were on the receiving end many, many times. A lot of that wasn't fair either - bombed off the field because FC didn't pay attention, slam into a bubble and get pipebombed without a chance to fight back, it's how things go. You trust a commander to lead you to victory and safety and sometimes he fails. So don't scream at CCP about not making this a themepark ride but an uphill walk in snow. Look at it from the perspective of history that was made that day. Victory or loss don't matter - it's all about fun. There won't be another day like this. Whatever side you were on, you participated in a unique event that won't repeat itself. You helped shape the lore of the world while playing the game. The only people who really lost weren't those who died or didn't make it to the staging system - they were those who quit or didn't attend. Think how awesome the fact is that you supported the faction you liked against the odds, struggling to reach the target against incompetence of your leaders and lack of information. If CCP intended to get you all there in one piece, they'd have teleported people or spawned an NPC titan with infinite stront and fuel to bridge everyone easily. They chose not to. (Also dear CCP can we get "I supported the Serpentis... AND THEN - BETRAYAL!" t-shirts? Or at least something to commemorate the outcome of the event.)

They could have not turned up at all and it would have been exactly the same event. Because most people only turned up after CCP declared the event over because CCP stuffed up big time.

To be honest, if you even burned towards the destination trying to avoid the pirates and stop the Serpentis you were there. No, you weren't there. Not if you were moving a fleet together. If you ran a fast cloaky into the system you made it sure. But the fleets with their travelling TiDi coming with them didn't make it. The fleet I was in hadn't even left High Sec when CCP started the event in Null. It was declared over when we were five jumps out. The alternative was to trickle feed gate camps if everyone travelled at their own best speed rather than at the slowest ships warp with a fleet warp then align to outbound gate after jumping. Which defeats the point of having a fleet if you trickle in. CCP quite simply stuffed up big time, and didn't plan worth a dang.

(Also dear CCP can we get "I supported the Serpentis... AND THEN - BETRAYAL!" t-shirts? Or at least something to commemorate the outcome of the event.) While I appreciate what you are saying from an IG perspective the fact of the matter is that this didn't just affect IG Characters this affected real people in their real lives. Yes, "EVE is real" and all that but you know as well as I do that this was a disaster. I personally put in time of work due to CCP's propaganda regarding this event. That was my choice, correct, and had it been the event it was advertised to be for all involved then I would as previously stated been bragging to all and sundry of how awesome EVE Online is and that I was there I was part of something that took EVE forward (pre-determined outcome assured) and that I had fun doing it. Instead of the above, my Corp Mate logged for the night, I spent 4 hours in TiDi hell and I was docked in Sarum Prime the night before so it wasn't even getting to the 1st staging system where my TiDi hell started. En-route info was filtered through from the 3 channels we had open "Intergalatic Summit", "Live Events" and "The Summit" along with Local, Fleet etc and OFC Twitter. 3 jumps out from Shedoo and it was all over according to the channels of which nothing much was being pushed through. So while I appreciate that IG lore and the propaganda machine will spin this fantastically it makes no matter to the fact that CCP abused it's player base of paying customers for what would appear to be 'Office Entertainment' and failed to deliver a LIVE Event and the preparation required to host it. Therefore it should apologise to those people who did attend to try and add content and that changed their actual lives to enable this. EDIT:** Oh and I was burning as fast as possible under 10% TiDi in a Drake with my fleet strung out over 4/5 systems I believe from around 1900hrs. Didn't even get to our RV in Shedoo to form up and head in before it was declared over.

No ... quite a few people in my fleet logged out and went and got their null alts because they realised the whole exercise was idiotic and they would never get there in time with the highsec fleets. I personally logged out and went to work as I realised the thing was going to be a waste of one of my few available days off. I gathered later the fleet never made it to the event so my decision was a good one.

Our lowsec system was on the shortest route to utopia, much camping fun was had . The entry gate was littered with wrecks. It was estimated that we had over 115 kills. Great event, would participate again :)

From the Live Event side, it was a major screw up since the lore got made to look like a joke by CCP from this event. They should have written a chronicle & just run a massive PvP event.

It's not about any "problem", he was posting that the plan was a failure, but with so little knowledge of nullsec there was simply no plan at all, at least coming from the players. CCP's plan, on the other hand, was blatantly a failure.
Raneru Euphoria Released Triumvirate. 65	Posted - 2013.11.09 23:57:00 - [829] - Quote Back in 2005 there was a nullsec event to stop serpentis stealing a titan. As a newb I went out there in an incursus with whatever crap was in my hanger thrown onto it to participate. First attempt, I was killed by a torp raven. Second attempt I got to it and fired a few shots off before being blown up and podded. Bad time? I loved it! I found a nullsec corp to move to a few weeks later. There will be scores of new players who will get into null as a result of this event. Not because it went successfully and they returned rich but because it was scary and challenging.

No, there won't. You know why there won't? Because in 2005 you actually got to the event. This time, the new players didn't get to the event, the event got declared finished before they even made it. And half of them got killed in gate camps on the way that weren't exciting, were just instant death. 2005 null was entirely different environment to 2013 null sorry to say & the event was dramatically different as well.

Anize Oramara S T R A T C O M Critical-Mass 52	Posted - 2013.11.10 00:17:00 - [831] - Quote 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.

Though my feelings were annoyance and frustration as a result of the tedious travelling through tidi with little to no information, it did very much feel like a perfect illustration of 'what not to do'.
Alaric Faelen Sabotage Incorporated Executive Outcomes 187	Posted - 2013.11.10 01:22:00 - [833] - Quote More EXE in this thread than on TeamSpeak. We claimed sov in a forum thread! Shock, anchor the iHub...Trii, spam local with Fishbutt. Care bears, It may come at the end of a sharp tongue, but notice that our advice is....play more Eve, get better at Eve, make friends to fly with, come back and give us a good fight. That is hardly negative feedback, even if delivered in bittervet voice-over. We've given our 'elite PvP' secrets away, and there is nothing magical or even difficult in any of it---- organization, well designed fleet composition, fleet roles beyond just DPS spammer, voice comms, getting out and flying together as often as possible, learning from loss rather than obsessing about winning. Myth busted Many players believe the bar to entry in PvP is having 500 battleships and a pocket full of Titans,and end up avoiding it entirely. This event showed that anyone with a few good friends, decent fleet comps, good comms, and a solid FC, can absolutely tear the a$$ out of far bigger and more powerful fleets. It should encourage people to PvP, not discourage them. Had a 1000 newbies been able to dominate just because of numbers, the myth of blobbing being the state of PvP would have been verified. Instead, all the blob in the world couldn't save the high sec fleets. Take heart in that- PvP is not something out of reach of anyone but giant alliances. It's absolutely within the reach of even die hard care bears with more alts than friends.

I think you've missed the point entirely and for that I can only apologise due the size of this thread but this isn't about "leet PvP skillz" or "Blob Wars" this was about being royally screwed over in RL time and effort by the sheer incompetence of CCP to organise a live event in that players actually got involved in the live event other than in TiDi. If you had read some of the posts above this then you would know and this comes from a player with plenty of time IG and may seem bitter to you or sharp but it's not meant to. I think your last insult confirms your attitude but you know what..."carebears" add content, they become half decent FC's, PvPers and bring other skills to Low\Null\WH's like "leet Industrialists" or perfect miners (you all need to make stuff and where does it come from) and when they take that leap they'll be taught how to operate in Null\WH's and Null Sec. All the Null Bloc did on 7-11 was shoot confused and misinformed people like fish in a barrel and not even that they were en-force. Please don't use this to showcase your "leet skillz" as it makes Null Bloc look pathetic and very bully-boy behaviour. I have respect for all types of play styles (well except gankers those scum lol) and neither should be belittled. Points to bear in mind.

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? Its not about dying its about what happened before we left highsec. After finding out via TWITTER 1300+ had to jump 23 jumps through 10% tidi to get to the real staging system. When we left half of that was still trying to get there. Getting our own FC's still wouldnt of helped cause they wouldn't have known where to go either. I had no prob going null I like null, I made through all the gate camps it was fun. Its the way it was organised or lack of thats all. Getting blown up is part of eve its all about before we left highsec so idk what half you F1 monkeys keep saying its about losing ships when that isn't the issue, I'm sure 90% of players weren't expecting to come back in their ships. The problem is why should everyone have twitter open to find the real staging area, if they gave us more time the other half would of made it to the staging system. We can't just titan bridge in like you guys.

If you're talking about lead up and preparation time then I can understand your frustration but they have put more measures in place to try to circumvent that with providing a way to give advance notice to CCP for node reinforcement prior to the fight, TiDi, etc but technological limitations will still apply. I really feel for people who are just disconnected in a major engagement and that's my honest felling on it. This wasn't about a lack of technology this was about a complete clusterf*ck in communication, organisation and screwing over thousands of players AKA customers as some other companies regard them who had given their time to add\be part for the content that they had advertised it would be. You've not really added to this thread except to say like so many others "na na na na na" and if you have issues with CCP and the nodes then suggest something in F&I.

I've added what I've sent for those that are time pushed but I urge anyone who feels strongly enough to contact their CSM. CCP Live Event 07-11-13 From: Maximus Aerelius Sent: 2013.11.10 02:34 To: ********, Hi **, As a member of the CSM I feel that I should bring this thread and events to your attention as I, and I believe the rest of the player base, are unaware if CCP or the CSM are watching or in direct discussion about the events that took place on 07-11-13: Probably the WORST event I've wasted my time on in my 10 years of eve I'll admit it takes some reading (42 pages) but I think a lot of what people have said is valid within and I'd appreciate the CSM looking into the matter either as our elected body and independently or in conjunction with CCP. The only update we've had thus far form CCP is from CCP Goliath: Quote:** Just dropping in to say thanks for giving us this feedback. We haven't had time to go through it all yet, but we will be doing so as a team and taking a lot of points on board to shape our work in the future. We will also be explaining some things to clear up some misunderstandings we have been noticing. Thanks for your time and patience. Source: http://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=3846152#post3846152 I'd appreciate any response but if you are "gagged" then I'll understand however I do feel quite strongly that CCP need to say something or provide the community AKA customers a deadline for their response as the lack of communication from them since 2013.11.08 12:47 just seems to be fuelling the discontent and rumour mongering about what happened along with leading some to believe that we were just abused for either "Live CLB Testing" or the worst "CCP Office Party Entertainment". Regards and best wishes as always, Max.

Thank you for that info and not flaming me for my lack of knowledge of everything . I remember a guy tripping the wrong switch and turning it all off quite a number of years back now...hence the "A Big Red Button" as a gift that some got I believe. I can only sympathise with people in that situation as that would really suck...and I'd be raging. Just out of curiosity I'm guessing that a reason and apology was forthcoming from CCP? EDIT: Would it be this threadnaught of rage? The apology came 20 minutes after the thread was opened and is on Page 3: CCP Phantom wrote: In the attempt to improve the overall fight quality and node stability in the Z9PP system at 22:41 UTC by moving away all non-critical services from this node, our engineers unfortuntely made a mistake and actually moved the critical system from the current server node instead of moving all other systems. As result every pilot in this system lost connection to the node and therefore to Tranquility. The system Z9PP is online and accessible again now. It is extremely unfortunate to make such a mistake and we apologize deeply for disrupting one of the truly epic battles in the history of EVE; especially since this battle already raged on for several hours and was still heating up for more! We are very sorry about this incident and will make sure that such mistakes won't happen again. Maybe there is some truth in the tinfoil hattery that CCP are just Null Bloc in black shirts after all or maybe they are considering their response.
