LULZ, I guess this was CCP's peace offering to the CFC scrubs for the missed titan kills the other day in KW-I6T. I'm so glad I don't do Live Events. Here's a tip guys - if there is ever another Live Event with a null sec destination system, then fully expect a repeat performance.

I can only hope it doesn't put off hi sec players from thinking of eventually moving to null, as the vast majority of null sec space (outside of circle jerk staging systems) is pretty empty, TiDi free and can be great for solo/small gang roams and fights.

Was I expecting it to go into Low/Null sec? yes.
Was I expecting to die at this event? Yes.
Was I expecting to have to travel for nearly two hours through 10% TIDI? No!

And that's what put me of at this event.
I don't mind to die in this game, I don't expect any fight to be 'fair', but travelling only to hear the event is actually over before you arrive, is no fun at all.

I think it was organised this way to show the utter incompetence of the empires compared to organised capsuleer organisations. If that's correct, then this event was a success. But not fun for me personally.

OP SUCCESS \o/

You are the first Highsec player that admitted you have fun. Props, you're winning EvE. If you want to spice up your space life, you are more than welcome to come out and fly with us.

Bunch of Hi-secers getting blown to bits by nullies evidently. Too bad we missed it.

Forgetting for the moment that CCP either deliberately or through incompetence led their fleet into a slaughter.

How can struggling to get into a system, being given no information, eventually finding out through twitter where the next system was, spending over an hour stuck in TDI SLOOOOW and then arriving to discover that the rest of the fleet had left and been slaughtered like animals with no idea what the hell it was all for. Be fun?

Sure, tell people bring your strongest ships, be prepared for the battle of your life,and move everyone into the system, works for the test server,Why not live events, then a glorious battle, each fleet marked as friend or foe and good fight had by all.
Instead you end up leading innocents to their extermination.

How is this fun, the Null residents must have found it totally boring, Of course there are those who think standing on a kittens head is fun and makes them strong but no help for those.

Back to the first sentence. If you can't do these events properly Just fire the organisers and hire people who can.

So am I the onlyone who had fun?

So you expected there wouldn't be 10% TiDi in an event for all of Eve to take part in despite the TiDi that's happened in past events and any time 1000+ players get together anywhere but Jita/Amarr?

Didn't think much of the CCP end of event but the post event fall out is hilarious. What a bunch of babies!! What did you lot think was going to happen? You'd be safely transported somewhere pleasant while a nice CCP man told you a story and then you'd get some free stuff?? That's a trip to a kids pantomime and should never been in Eve, ever.

Plenty of people had fun with this event, study them if you wish to understand how to enjoy yourself.

To all you null secers not understanding the issue here!

This is not an issue with dieing, this is not an issue with TiDi. this is not an issue with bubbles or null sec mechanics.

This is simply an issue of not delivering on a promise.

When CCP says "Live Event" that sets certain expectations into play. When CCP fails on those explanations then THAT is the issue.

If I was signing up for a dangerous mission through dangerous territory and died in a ball of fire thats OK!
If I was signing up for a trip into null sec and got owned then that's OK!
If I was signing up for a massive fleet fight and due to the sheer mass of it then we were all TiDi'd to all hell then thats OK!

Those situations are all fine, but today those of us that logged on to partake in a Live Event and got anything but a Live Event ... that's the issue at hand.

A Live Event is not hours of TiDi travel!
A Live Event is not hours of directionless mayhem with no input from those running the event.

You all think we are a bunch of whiners, however you just happen to see our forums. I know from personal experience there is plenty of whining going on behind the Goons forums. "Wha! This FC did this! Wha! This FC did that!"

Imagine spending hours following an FC around in 10% TiDi then you don't get to shoot anything and it was ALL ON PURPOSE by the FC ... then come back to us and say Yes I am fine wasting hours of my time doing nothing of importance on purpose!

No we expected to have a nice CCP man tell us a story then we'd all go down in a brightly burning firey death. I got the firey death I wanted ... now where was the CCP man and where was the story?

If you didnt find it at least a little fun then you are missing the point of the game mate. The idea is to fly into enemy territory and face overwhelming odds. I think we accomplished that today. I think divulging of info could have been a bit more efficient but other than that the event worked as intended...provide a few hours of distraction and fun.

Why fail alone when you can failscade with your friends? We were there, had a blast, and died in a fire in the end. Join us.

Im not quite catching you here...you open your post by saying "this is not an issue with TiDi" yet continue on to state, "A Live Event is not hours of TiDI" as a reason for the issue at hand. Could you clarify as to why you have contradicted yourself here?
