Let me say that this was dam good fun.
Thank's to all involved.
Things to note
1 - Don't fill your cargo full of nice loot. Why? Well for the most part. The "1st in Jita fleet" was mostly full of highsecers. So stealing (well sort off) to them is not in there nature. Now don't get me wrong. I Love loot. But what I saw was a lot of "Pubbie" in the fleet just for the trill of getting in on a big fleet and shoot down some DEVS. So they held to the job at hand of shooting the DEV fleet. So the "Pubbies" did all the hard work only to get ripped off by the sneeky looters. Seems a bit unfair to me for "Pubbie" to do all the hard work for some sneaky low/null sec player to get all the goodies. So for the future I would recommend a new way to reward players for taking part in such events. Maybe with some sort of Loyalist points or something. I will let you figure that one out lol. I Know, "Eve is real". And I am not to bother about it myself. But from all the event channels I was reading. Many a player was not happy. Seems the only players to get paid today was the big alliances. So next time. Don't fill up on loot. It makes a sad carebear. (lol I know right. All the tears lol)
2 - Cyno jam the system. Nothing kills the fun faster than a few big alliances doping the Supercaps and Titans. If they want to come join in/flight. Make it on the terms that the highsec pubbies/cearbears can play at.
3 - Don't take so long to deploy. Well this is a bit of silly complaint to make really. No other alliance/corp advertise that they are going out to kill. So why am I complaint about you doing it? Well 24 hours is to vague a time frame to wait on for such a event. Make that time frame smaller and then the carebear in me will not go mad about sitting up all night waiting for the intel to roll in about where and when.
4 - Don't run home to mommy so soon ;-) Reship and move on to a new region so everybody can have a go. I Am sure there will be a few players around who world have missed out on this great bit of fun due to being in bed with kangaroos.
5 - DO THIS MORE OFTEN PLEASE.
6 - Just in case you missed it above. DO THIS MORE OFTEN PLEASE
So with that. I will say thank you for reading. The event was great fun. Really nice feedback, Oddsodz. We will definitely look at the event and analyze what went right, what went wrong and how we can improve it for the future.
Agreed, good feedback
My 2 cents from a spectators pov;
1) The ninja looters are a established part of Eve, the bottom feeders which you get in life, corpse raiding on battlefields etc - accept it.
2) these events 'should' be open to all, however, even though I agree to unpack your AK47 and bring it to a knife fight, I also understand this event should be open fairly to all, so yes cyno jam the system like you would during a incursion & and get the major players into a honely sharpened sword into a knife fight rather than the AK47 :)
(Hopefully now CCP have experienced their creation of the supercap monster they created, and experienced some of the feelings of futility some of the lesser alliances feel when trying to establish themselves)
3) Disagree on this point, the problem that CCP has during these events is us the players, who moan and bicker like school kids, the time it took gave fair warning to all imo.
4) Yep agree with this to a certain point, however it is mind numbingly difficult to organise these events but imo they could be organised over a few days with a CCP incursion into a differant region on differant days.
5) Agreed, too long these events have been missed, in my mind it does bring the Devs/CCP/GM's closer to the game and playerbase, and also (after looking at the fits etc) CCP can actually learn from some of their fail fits and better appreciate game mechanics which incidently they created but obviously dont understand that well.
Im happy some of the new playerbase experienced this, it can only keep these players ingame, and obtain new blood into Eve, which is good for all.
Good for you CCP, keep this up it was fun to read all the feedback and comments, our TS was buzzing with excitement from the newer players and you cannot put a price on that.

That was a loot item in cargo and not fitted
In regards to the ship fittings, we simply got together some rough fits on 24 hours notice for 70 people. With Crucible defects being fixed around the clock we had one person doing all of the fits so that the rest of the Devs could focus on making sure that Crucible remains our primary focus.
You can expect different fits, and probably entirely different ships, when this escalates

For the first time PVPers among the group the fits weren't all that bad, but whoever built the Apocs needs to think about the differences between PVP and PVE fits, as well as resistance mod stacking penalties.
As long as the fits improve each time you guys do this it will be a good sign. If any devs want a personal pvp fittings 101 lesson hit me up on evemail. :)
Also I cannot agree more with the people before me saying that you guys should do this more often, preferably without the valuable loot to avoid offending people and because you really don't need to give players any more motivation to pvp against devs. |

For the most part, yes. The main aim of this event was twofold - could we run an event on short notice that would energize players and give them a fun experience as well as seeing how a CCP fleet would operate when under mass attack?
We got a lot of information from the event and a lot of feedback across multiple threads and other forums which will help us greatly when preparing for future events of this nature. We hope that more players can get involved next time but you guys must also realize that there are restrictions we must operate under. For example, we cannot announce a staging area and time in advance otherwise thousands of people will show up and potentially crash the server which makes a fun event a non event.
We also need to ensure that there is better balance in our fleet and we will also look a lot more closely at the loot which is dropping. The feedback so far from players who participated is that they were not that interested in the loot and were just much more interested in the good fights.
Anyway, stay tuned for more news, blogs and info about what is in store for the future and thanks again to everyone who showed up, took part and took their losses with good grace. You were true sports

CCP corpse is more interesting loot than plexes and stuff. Granted, if you keep dropping shiny things, there will be more ninjalooters for the rest to shoot which bumps up the kill count considerably.
I'd say NEX store clothes are not a bad idea as loot, nor are random faction mods, but PLEXes were tad... umm... people tend to go to frenzy over them and I'm sure there were some tears as random ninjalooter managed to snatch a PLEX, only to get tackled and popped before he could get it to safety. People tend to consider PLEX as "real dollar value" much more than any other item (even when strictly speaking it is nothing but a stack of ISK in compact form).

Also, some feedback.
I don't want to read through everything so I will just say, CCP don't put an armor rep rig on a ship with no armor rep, just put another T2 trimark :P
Only feedback from me. |

I wasn't there, but periodic events like these where the players and devs get to interface within the game is pretty nice imo. Please do it again ... maybe make it a monthly or at least quarterly event. |

I don't think it's the fair warning part he is complaining about. Rather that it is very hard for many people to participate, when the window for the event is so long and vague. It means the people who want to participate will have to reschedule or fudge up the next 24h of their lives. There is a limit on how much CCP can cater to these things, but an estimated time table would go a long way in mitigating the issue and wouldn't harm the events.
It's much more preferable to say for example to announce, that there is going to be an event on a planned date and later(before that day comes) give an estimate when the fleet is supposed to deploy and preferably even how long the event is likely to last(a rough estimate). This way people can prepare in advance and make time for it and more importantly don't have to stay up all night/skip work because they fear they might miss the event otherwise. It's good for CCP, since more people will participate and have more fun doing it and it makes participating as a player more convenient and less of a hassle for you in RL. |
