The event announcement would have been a good place to compile that kind of info for easy reference. A set of links, perhaps partner with E-Uni to use their library of instructional pages- would have gone far in people not feeling so utterly lost.
The locations seemed poor choices. A long slog for the high sec folks, but we null sec people only had to take a few actual gates after using our jump bridge networks in sov space. I got blown up and was able to reship and rejoin the fight within a few minutes. Not only was the convoy horrible in TiDi for the high sec people, but they were half the map from home.
I've edited the above (while it was a good read and one of the most postive I've seen from one of "you guys" lol) this is what I posted in the threadnaught:

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.
This rage I believe is nothing to do with the "PvP" side of this event but more to do with the above and that we were CCPd. |
