Riiiiight.. except 4. Capsuleers get mad at CCP.

We ask that any capsuleer who wishes to protect civilized space gather up at our two rally points in Sarum Prime and Meves on November 7 for departure at 18:50.GÇ¥

... basically just shoveling people into null killzones...

For PvP; Hilarious.

Subject says it all.

10% Tidi 5 j out to rally point (Sarum Prime)

10% Tidi the 16 j to the second rally point (Ihal)

Tidi the few jumps to the last destination ... by then i was numb and not paying attention




No real communication from gm/event host

Lots of secrecy on locations apparently to keep people from ruining the event

ONLY to include those people in the end.

I want that hour of my life refunded to me



Good Job CCP ...




NEXT time just open a wormhole and let people drop in


PS: Please point me in the direction of this post to remind me why I shouldnt bother in another live event ...

Doril:
- 169 pods killed in the last hour
- 330 ships killed in the last hour

I'm going out on a limb but am guessing the second group from meves is

8v-sjj:
- 246 pods killed in the last hour
- 444 ships killed in the last hour



GREAT EVENT if you're lucky enough to be in a 0.0 power block

Yup :-) Event was geared to the Null Power Blocks. Aka no chance for any one not in a block to really participate.
75% of the event, getting through tidi.
5% of the event, getting slaughtered at a bubble camp
20% of the event, trying to extract and evac.

I'm so mad I play a sandbox game that has areas of non consensual pvp and when I flew into one someone shot me let me act like I'm mad about something else

Lol love the cookie cutter "lil bee" responses, hell same response from any block lmfao.

The getting shot was fun :-) The shooting was fun :-)

My comments are about the EVENT, not sandbox fun :-P
Aka the pvp part was great.

Make some friends

Waste of my time.
Hours of TiDI travelling around to not be able to actually get to the event due to a massive gatecamp
Great Idea CCP
MASSIVE SARCASM INTENDED

there wasnt any real pvp if you couldnt make it there it was more like being raped by a very large man you cant escape as a lil girl

HUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUE

Speechless.
Can't find kind words at this point. Please do us all a good and blow the entire region up.

EVE's lore deserves better than this.

How to event:

Step 1: Force people to travel for shitload of time

Step 2: Get them in null

Step 3: Get them all podded and laugh

Step 4: ???

Step 5: Profit!

NEXT time just open a wormhole and let people drop in

Carebear gotta be ******** to go into nullsec unprepared.
*popcorn watching the stream =)

415 ships killed in Doril in last hour, 157 in Hemin, 14 in Mifrata, 31 in Sendaya.

173 made it to destination system - to pop there.

What a clusterf**k, from start to finish. Next time just announce it as "Live Event: Turkey Shoot in Null".

Can people confirm that the CCP controlled Pirates self distructed? That the events out come was predetermined?

Someone should get fired over this. Seriously. This one a total ****-show and CCP pissed off a huge number of people today, people who will in future think twice about plexing or subbing their accounts. No renewal = loss of revenue. And for this, the revenue drop will be significant.

So... bye, bye event organizer! The door's over there.

On Live Events channel ISD announced that after attack was successfully repelled and base saved, pirates destroyed their own base. I was amused.

CCP Fozzie organized Sarum Prime -> Ihal event (https://twitter.com/CCP_Fozzie). Guess he is better off rebalancing ships than doing anything related to live events.

so the entire event was staged simply to feed CCPs bros in null free kills. Super. Way to follow up the obvious corruption of SOMER Blink, with more corruption CCP.

Not even Eve voice? Lel.

inb4 demands for reimbursement.

1) Welcome to Null.
2) This is our life every day.
3) This was voluntary.
4) You should know what null is.
5) This was a Blast
6) CCP This was a blast, Please do these weekly.
7) CCP Thank you for the tears, sweet sweet tears.

Yup, great way to make sure newbies never go to null sec again.
If you want people to join null sec, you don't do it like this.

I should have remembered why I hate null, that much is true..oh wait, as soon as the slaughter become obvious on EVE-kill, I docked up.....

MFW the CCP gods give me sweet, tender kills.

Don't worry young bears. The stings you feel now will only make you stronger.

Let us help you. Teach you. Mold you.

Be stronger. Or don't..either way.

CCP - This was a disastrous failure. I have nothing to add, which has not already been said.

I hope you learn from it, but I am done with your live events. This was too much. It wasted my time, and the people I asked to come in my fleet.

Getting a fleet together, waiting in Sarum Prime for hours, getting directions from Twitter?? and via totally spammed local channel only to end up warping through 23 jumps (many in 10% TiDi) to get to a staging area which just points to a new destination in null. Not fun, and I dropped the whole idea since I knew jumping into null would be straight into a podding meatgrinder. So, I disbanded my fleet even before we hit Ihal. That was all just a bad joke, and I actually regarded every piece of information as people trying to get others into a gatecamp killzone, instead you did that. Makes me wonder if you know your own game?

Here is what you should have done.

1. Hold the Events in the systems you define, for me that was Sarum Prime. When too many people are in system, lock the gates and spawn a new area where you have a similar event and keep doing this everytime you reach a certain limit, so you split the load and keep people from travelling.
2. Start the event a bit like an Incursion, so everyone knows when it begins, and people get into an intel channel where you convey the role playing part and maybe a fleet channel as well.
3. Fleets, get people into fleets! Especially if you do capsuleer vs capsuleer. Else, build the storyline around everyone going suspect or make the loots so irresistable that many do. Best would be, if you could pit fleets against each other, but I do not know if your game engine supports that.
4. If you want to do something new. Do the above, and once a certain force prevails in a system, open up a wormhole or special gate to a second system where the survivors from one system can do battle with the survivors of another system.

That is basically it. That way you cut out the stupid travelling, you know what nodes to reinforce and you open up the event in a way that will scale according to how popular it is. Also, you can reuse existing game code for this, should not be too hard.

This makes me wish I worked for you and did all this for you, since it could be so good, but you guys ruin it and I have a hard time understanding why since you must be intelligent people in order to write software and do all the great stuff that you actually do accomplish. The story line and event making of Eve is a problem, and you should look into solving it, since so many actually do come to these events in the hope of finding valuable content. And you let them down, time and time again.

Looks like we ruined your game.

Op success.

LOL!

Did everybody already forget how the very first incursion live event went?

Good for you. Wasn't because any abundance of skills or wits. Guess some people need to brag no matter what...

Fleet left staging system when destination was announced. TDI all the way, event was over when we arrived.
Total waste of my time. Words fail me. First event. Last event.

Words don't fail you. You've failed yourself.

Harden the **** up.

Time to join Brave Newbies then.

Did CFC tell you that when your asses got kicked out of Fountain with TEST and friends?

Words don't fail you. You've failed yourself.

Harden the **** up.

Words don't fail you. You've failed yourself.

Harden the **** up.

We are Grrrrr, we Are bigg!!!!

We kill bunch of carebears look!

Oh wait... You haven't done anything new... again... CCP did it for you... So... 0/10

I mean how hard can it be to click f1 when there is no real challenge...

In your home turf...

I luagh at your leet skillz

Can I just say?

Welcome to nullsec.

And I laugh at your killboard.

Why would anyone want to join Goonswarm Tardfest Version 2? The first one is bad enough as it is.

That's all Brave Newbies is now. Another Goons Pet. The original idea of it is basically an afterthought at this point.

Sad.

Good for you. Wasn't because any abundance of skills or wits. Guess some people need to brag no matter what...

thanks CCP for being even bigger faggots by making something most of the players couldnt even enjoy next time at least do a LS one or clear the ******* bubbles agian thanks CCP for being a bunch of **** idea fags that shouldnt run live events

event was a clusterfuck of hilarity.

If mad pvp was what you were after, this event provided. If you wanted serious RPing.....erm.....maybe not

Just like a movie- the good guys won and the bad guys lost. Would watch again.

Thanks CCP!

Stay in Hi Sec if you cant handle gate camps, bubbles and tidi.

So mad pvp!!!


Super LEET drone assign! Wow!!!

you need to go back to Syndicate to continue getting your ass handed to you by a load of NPC starter corp noobs.

Such tears! So wow! so told #shrekt

such eve savior

masta gaem balencer

so eleet

such wow

im sooooo excited about CCPs response

You realize that makes zero sense, right?

Screw all you whiners!! I had a choice today to either go outside and rake leaves, or fly with a fleet to null sec.
Guess what? I chose Null sec. I got on a couple of kills, got podded, had fun.
So quit whining and get another ship and get back out there.
Or send all your stuff to me and I'll give it away to people that aren't world class crybabys like all you losers.

OK, I feel better now.

What did I miss?

What did I miss?

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?

I haven't been mad at CCP yet...not a bittervet. I think the devs here do a pretty good job compared to some other MMOs I might name.

But this event...ugh.

What a complete waste of time. The bulk of the fleet never even made it to the site because of dozens of jumps at 10% tidi.
The CCP rep left the second staging area while all the battleships were still 40 minutes of 10% tidi away.

Why do that? I cannot fathom what made you think that was a good idea. Why hold the event 20+ jumps away from the staging site? Do you hate us? Do you want to frustrate us by holding an event in such a way that most of the people who show up won't be able to participate?

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.

Get used to it... we sometimes fight all night with 10% tidi... grow up

I, and much of my fleet coming from Meves, didn't even get to make it into enemy territory to face those overwhelming odds when we were told that the station self-destructed and the whole effort was apparently pointless. I'd spent the better part of an hour jumping through 10% time dilations, anticipation building with each jump I took closer to my first steps into nullsec - and then before I get there with a 200-man blob of ships, I hear "Beep! It's over, congratulations, your side sort of technically won?"

...What the hell?

Yes, I went into this fully prepared to lose a ship - Don't fly what you can't afford to lose and all that. I know that well by now. Throwing that ISK away for participation in an interesting event would have been worth it. But I didn't even wind up losing that ship and I still thought this was a poorly run, unsatisfying event and a complete waste of time.

The real question here is, did you show up in Meves at the appropriate time and move fluently with the fleet? Because in all fairness the FC was under the same effects of TiDi as yourself. In light of that, had you been rallied next to the FC on time and moved as he gave commands, you should have moved with him....until you died ofc.

[quote=Aerieth]Could you clarify as to why you have contradicted yourself here?

So..... how often have you travel with TIDI lag and client to server lag over geoscape? 5 sec here and there... goes to a few minutes in the end.

The 1st wave to hit the gate did not get tidi, the 2nd did and then cascade!!!!

I think he wants CCP to turn off the tidi button so everyone will just blackscreen instead.

10% Tidi 5 j out to rally point (Sarum Prime)

10% Tidi the 16 j to the second rally point (Ihal)

Tidi the few jumps to the last destination ... by then i was numb and not paying attention

...
