Nebulai ISD AURORA Interstellar Services Department	Posted - 2006.09.19 19:20:00 - [1] Hi all, We've been gathering feedback from various locations in relation to Events in EVE. One of the major criticisms appears to be that there is no way to have free-flowing OOC communication with the volunteers that make up the event producers and actors. This thread is for you to either ask questions, or leave feedback in relation to specific events or Aurora as a whole. The volunteers that make up Aurora have been given permission to reply casually within this thread - as long as it does not breech the NDA they have all signed. They all understand that criticism comes in both good and bad fashion, I only ask that you refrain from ranting - negative criticism is good as long as it is clearly defined and well put. Thanks -- Nebulai Vice-Admiral Aurora, ISD [email protected]

Idara Caldari Cutting Edge Incorporated RAZOR Alliance	Posted - 2006.09.19 19:38:00 - [3] New Emperor? Gallente Elections?
Monica Foulkes Hooligans Of War	Posted - 2006.09.19 19:41:00 - [4] Ok, I must admit I have not come across any event character/ship that I know of. However, unless it already exist, would it be possible to have event characters stand out on the overview since a lot of people will be hesitant to kill a "wanted criminal" in high sec. Maybe mark them like NPCs but with blue instead of red? The 8h skill buffer
Kilo Paskaa Veto.	Posted - 2006.09.19 19:41:00 - [5] How often do you have events (big or small)?
Helplessandlost Minmatar Convergent Firmus Ixion	Posted - 2006.09.19 19:44:00 - [6] I've been playing since March of 04 and so far only see the tail end of one event. How about a little more frequency, and a litte more knowldege of where/when... "Don't take life too seriously, nobody gets out alive!"
Cailais Amarr THE SEFRIM INSTITUTE	Posted - 2006.09.19 19:44:00 - [7] Being in Aurora any fun? Thought about signing up, but being a casual player (2-3hrs per night) figured Id get turned down. C. www.sefrim.com

Maybe mark them like NPCs but with blue instead of red? Event characters are just like any other player/character, they don't appear any different in the overview. As far as how everyone interacts with those characters is left up to the situation and the roleplay involved. It's not just wanted criminals or pirates that show up as event characters, it may be new pilots, or seasoned corp CEOs trying to get a new venture off the ground. Originally by: Cailais Being in Aurora any fun? Thought about signing up, but being a casual player (2-3hrs per night) figured Id get turned down. It's great fun. If you think you would be an asset to the team, go ahead and apply, there are all sorts of people in aurora from the casual to the "hardcore"

Eternal Fury Caldari Shadow Of The Light	Posted - 2006.09.19 19:57:00 - [9] wait a minute... you mean you guys still do this? huh... well... if you DO do this you folks might wanna.. you know.. do it more often.. I've not heard anything about any "events" in the 9 months I've been here. I'll be honest though. Unless the "event" can touch 5-10K players, it's a waste of time, as the majority of us won't even hear about it. Not to be negetive, but I spend 90% of my time in 0.0. So if you do this stuff in empire.. it's not like I'll ever see it.
The Slayer Caldari Millennium E.R.A	Posted - 2006.09.19 20:01:00 - [10] Originally by: Eternal Fury but I spend 90% of my time in 0.0. There are lots of events in low sec, lots more in high sec and very few in 0.0. We write our own events in 0.0, aurora is there to spice up the "safe" zones a lil bit. __________________________________ Your Dual 250mm Prototype I Gauss Gun perfectly strikes Estamel Tharchon, wrecking for 187.6 damage.

Hellspawn01 Amarr The Phantom Conglomerate	Posted - 2006.09.19 20:04:00 - [12] I rarely hear of any small event. There should be some kind of announcements about events cuz most ppl just see them by accident. Ship lovers click here

EP Aine ISD AURORA Interstellar Services Department	Posted - 2006.09.19 20:05:00 - [14] Quote: New Emperor? Gallente Elections? Idara - Large events like these are completely the realm of CCP. AURORA may be tasked to support them, but the Devs drive the storylines on anything relating to the four Empires. Quote: How often do you have events (big or small)? Kilo - It varies greatly depending on what the various producers have going on. Generally I'd say there is at least an event running somewhere in EVE every couple of days minimum. If there are a number of arcs running at the same time, that figure might be as high as 3-4 a day (usually weekends) but that would be unusual. AURORA has been on a large recruiting drive for several months now, so we have many more actors and producers now than we have had in the past. It follows then that events should become more frequent as these new producers get their wings. Still, remember that EVE is a big place, so running into events can still be rare. Quote: How about a little more frequency, and a litte more knowldege of where/when... Helpless - As above, the new influx of actors and producers will increase frequency in due time. We generally don't widely broadcast location and timing of events purely from a logistics standpoint. Having a very large number of players show up for an event can be difficult for the producer to manage and bad for the gameplay in general (lag, crashes, etc.) On occasion, if a given group of players is involved in an arc, the producer in charge will arrange times and places with that group to further the arc.

But trust me, small events do get run, and quite often. Mabey one day you will be in the right place at the right time.

It's not just wanted criminals or pirates that show up as event characters, it may be new pilots, or seasoned corp CEOs trying to get a new venture off the ground. I just read the chatlog from a recent event where a mercenary should be brought to justice, one of the repeating lines from the people involved was: "Can we shoot without Concord intervention". Would be better from a RP point of view if that question wasn't needed to be asked in the first place. Ofcourse the drawback is that everyone marked as event character could get hunted down but that would be part of the RP as well since both good and bad guys live in EVE supporting different sides.

Elsebeth Rhiannon Minmatar Gradient Namtz'aar k'in	Posted - 2006.09.19 20:08:00 - [17] Is there a way to contact the event NPCs after event, or between events for longer term thingies? Do you ever / regularly check their evemail? If not at current, could you possibly pretty please set up some system that would enable you to easily do so, without logging each one on and off, e.g. a feed to a particular email address or nifty GM tool? Peace in a pod - Liberty Network Gradient is not hiring

We write our own events in 0.0, aurora is there to spice up the "safe" zones a lil bit. Events do happen in 0.0 space.

Nafri Caldari Cataclysm Enterprises Dusk and Dawn	Posted - 2006.09.19 20:08:00 - [19] Please, just stay out of alliance space. I dont remember any major event in alliance space which had an positive feedback. Sig removed, please keep all signature graphics EVE related - Xorus From Dusk till Dawn

GoGo Yubari Sharks With Frickin' Laser Beams Mercenary Coalition	Posted - 2006.09.19 20:11:00 - [21] You know, beyond telling you AURORA types that I've been hearing good things about your performances as of late, the only thing I'd like to voice is the concern that I have about the RP/event/storyline concerns not really having a hand in shaping the game as we know it, ie. being involved as priorities in the game design part of the game. It's cool and all that there is an AURORA doing these things, but what I'd really like to see is all of that stuff better grounded into the game itself. It could be that Factional Warfare is a huge step in that direction, but I just wanted to mention that fact. Unless that happens, RP will be the wacky add-on and not truly live up to its potential.

Not all events can have a major impact on EVE and the fiction that makes the story behind EVE. Larger events can have an impact on EVE - but it might not always. Sometimes its the story itself which is fascinating. ___________________________ Senior Event Producer ISD Aurora


EP Weichor	Posted - 2006.09.19 20:16:00 - [24] One thing about "advertising" events beforehand in general - as Aine said, it'd be problematic when a huge amount of players showed up. A worst-case scenario would be hundreds and hundreds of people in a system, and you all know what that leads to. Not to mention you'd likely get people who'd just try their best to ruin the event for others. No one wants that to happen. Also consider that the events are supposed to portray a part of "daily life" in the world of EVE. So you stumble upon them like you do to any unexpected situation. Not to mention that if you advertised an event beforehand, and then for some reason the event couldn't be held at the planned time, there'd be a lot of hatemail. But hopefully the recruitment drive will help more people to get to participate in events as the number of events run increases.

Malthros Zenobia Caldari Independent Navy Reserve Kimotoro Directive	Posted - 2006.09.19 20:25:00 - [27] Is there any chance of us getting events that have a large change of EVE behind it? Such as why we're getting 8 new regions, or where these new BS and BC are coming from...etc. Sorry you can't afford a dev so you get me instead ^^ - Xorus I hear Xorus is only 50 isk an hour - Immy Oooh that could get Suvetar for the day! - Cathath For 50, you can have my goat:P- Tirg

Silent Calling	Posted - 2006.09.19 20:51:00 - [30] I have to be honest I know nothing about these events, but would be very interested in taking part. How can we find out more about becoming a volunteer? Or taking part? Are you even looking for new volunteers? Thank you.
