I am not even gonna pretend I read the previous seven pages of replies but IMHO it was a Hi Larious "event"... 
I think made a few Mega creds mining this morning. I never even thought about going to NC and seeing the Jove.
You would have to be a bonehead to think after all the issues trying to "decentralize" the player popultation. That CCP would set up an event that make everyone rush to a few systems. And then all the power players and wannabes do just that
Oh the irony of it all...
Priceless..

The demise of the Jovian ambassador and the mysterious appearance of his remains acattered across the known (and perhaps unknown?) galaxy will be the focus of future events and stories. The items are not going to be eye candy.
it was a good event. i didnt attend the group in new caldari, as it was 5am here. as was said before, the event isnt over yet. so these jove parts arent for nothing id presume. but damn, this event has sure brought a lot of immature people into the spotlight...
CCP Rocks, OOO-RAH!

Jesus, I never saw so much whining - chill out guys, you have an excellent game here for gods sake, the odd mistake here and there don't matter, get over it.
And for the guy who laid into I.T. people, come see me for a dry slap ASAP

I feel REALLY sorry for the people who took the day off *just to be at an event*.
How was this was so important you had to skive off of School? Work?
Personally, I believe that ANYONE who "did a bunk" deserves the dissapointment.
As for everyone else? Well....as people have already said, you got yourselves worked up.
One final thing: We do NOT have pieces of Jove in our hangars! We have pieces of a CALDARI! CALDARI!!111!

I too was dissapointed. I mean c'mon, I thought the Jove were smart, and showing that they are incompetent is lame in my book. I really wanted to see what the Jove ship looked liked in real time; not to mention what effects the Jumpdrive gave off. I am a happy EVEian but damn CCP... I really hope this event goes somwhere worth my and everyone elses time.

I was there for the event....
After a lagging jump of at least 15 minutes, i found out the jove dude wasn't coming...
Was it just a test when so much peepz are in one place or something?
Definitely a waste of time and won't find me at an event soon....
Good luck fixing with the jump drive thingy....

I think the bit that amuses me most of all was the amount of assumption that went on before the event, and how many people confuse these ASSumptions with fact.
Rumor confused with fact #1: The jove was bringing warp drive tech to EVE.
Counter to rumor #1: While also still just a rumor, the manner in which the Jove died, implies that it was never going to be jump drive tech. More than likely it was a hint that interbus was coming soon(tm). In my opinion interbus is more sorely needed than jump drives. I for one NEVER thought it was going to be jump drives... It made no sense... It was at best, too easy.
Rumor confused with fact #2: Jove Tech would be given out to a lucky few. If nothing else, it could be gained by blowing up his ship...
Counter to rumor #2: CCP learned thier lesson the last time a jove dropped TechII toys for us I think... And if memory serves, even that was an accident.
Rumor confused with fact #3: The Jove would only be going to New Caldari. This one has been repeated many times by the A$$hats on this thread.... I pity your lack of intelligence, and am amazed at how many of you idiots play eve.
Counter to Rumor #3: This has to be my favorite indication of stupidity yet... It seems like everyone didn't bother to read the news article, or at best they lack the reading comprehension skills to understand the jove would be taking a TOUR of the 4 empires heads of state (implying thier home systems), As well as the locations of a few unnamed factions. YES CCP made the mistake of NAMING one of the systems, but all of you dolts took that to mean that the Jove would only be going to New Caldari... Thats why YOU got saddled with lag and misery, and feel cheated, because YOU are stupid. I on the other hand look like a brain surgeon for going to Luminaire, where the crowding was much more pleasant.
Rumor confused with fact #4: This event would be the introduction of new technology (see #1), and now a lot of people who lack the brain power to light match without burning themselves to death are screaming about how they don't have new tech II or better toys.
Counter to rumor #4: Lets assume for a second CCP WAS intending to give out new TECH II or TECH III items as part of this event... Would you have been any happier if you STILL didn't get a peice of the new tech because you where unlucky?
Closing statement: FAR too many players in EVE are either idiots, Lunatics, or in fact children...
CCP If you take one suggestion from this thread besides the ones you yourself have made (IE not naming a system next time ETC), then the suggestion you should take is this.
DO NOT let the griefer morons who piled up by the hundreds in alt characters to shoot at the jove to gain phat lewtz get away with this act. I do not mean punish them out of game...
I suggest you lower thier ACCOUNTs faction (not just the character in question) to the KJove so low, that they will NEVER be able to get Jove Agents, or even visit Jove space meaning getting Jove tech in the future will be all the more difficult.
On TOP of this, Caldari should be blacklisted from the Jove programs, and be put on a slightly less than nuetral footing with the Jove.
Lastly, I am not surprised in an in character fashion that the Caldari attacked the Jove... It's a well known Fact that Caldari not only shoot first and ask questions later, but often shoot again after asking the question... Never trust a Caldari... At least a Gallanean will sweat talk you into giving up your assets... But a Caldari will take them at gunpoint... We should drop another Station on em if you ask me.

Lol shame I couldn't bothered with it, I would have got to hear all the sad lonely people whining (not a word I often use but aptly applied here) about how they wasted a whole hour of their life time because they assumed something was going to happen.
Well done CCP for creating something new in EVE, I wish you the best of luck with this plot and I will do my best to help it along!
Can't think of anything witty to put here. |

I was there and I have to say is....even if something had happened we would have all missed it anyway, with the amount of lag that was in that system nobody would have seen anything anyway!

Personnaly, I never intended to go to see that event, knowing for sure that it would be crowded to hell. I followed a little what was happening by reading the forum, and was puzzled like a lot of other peoples about the bits found in hangar. When I logged in a little later, I laughed out loud when I saw the news and understood what happened.
Brilliant event I say, even if it was not really an event but the start of a story arc. What is even more funny than this event is the reaction of the whiners/griefers/L33T players who can not say what RP is, and were waiting for some uber loot. I mean, how much amount of stupidity do you need to shoot a jovian emissary? If the emissary was really gonna bring a new tech, shooting him would mean that the tech would likely have been destroyed with the ship, and thus those players would have PREVENTED the arrival of a new tech. In addition, think about what the Jovians would think about some guys who kill their emissary in a try to get the fat lewt 
Ok, giving a location and time was a bad move, but the morons who shot the jovian, THAT was a really bad move! I say, CCP, give them a -5 faction with Jovians, they really want it bad

I say give them a -5 rating with all the major empires for attacking a diplomatic agent on a diplomatic mission of the utmost importance. I'd love to see how these leets would last being religated 0.0 space

As for the Jove, I suppose we'll never see him again. I had a fresh piece of liver in my hangar and fried it up. Was the tenderest piece of meat. Went great with a side of mashed Fredo, a BBBB Soylent Green salad and the ever popular mOo Shake (with a dash of Spirits for that added "zing").
Cheers!

ROFLMAO. I too thought by reading the news that there was going to be an event featuring a jovian ship. A time, a place...sounded good to me. But, I didnt go to try and see it. lol. Havin a great time reading the posts though. That piece of prose I quoted above is a gem. Thanks for the laugh lol!

I can't be bothered to read all the whining.
It all boils down to managing of expectations. To step down the player-induced hype a little CCP could have made a second announcement. It could have been something like "... due to rumours regarding a strike against the jovian ambassador concord will up the security in the systems where the jovian will travel and have a 0 tolerance towards any kind of aggressive intentions".
Yes we do NEED more events.

Hmmm. I fail to see how you could possible compare making a few jumps for nothing with being ripped from your home and tortured/humiliated.
You are a v.sad individual!
Toph.
Yeah, i'm with you guy... hardly the same, when was then last time anything in a PC game (remember guys it is a game) lead to you body being broken and you life being taking... Get a life outside of eve if it ****es you off that much.

Idiot. If you do not have the capability of following a storyline thorugh, please for our sake, do not get involved in it. That way we don't need to listen to the whining after what you assumed would happen, does not.

LOL Eddie, ever heard of Sarcasm ? Cant beleive you beleived the post about broken arms etc
I guess Im a pesimist after attending many 'events' in the past but I hope this time all you optimists prove me wrong.
From my point of view though CCP have never followed on from any of their 'storyline events' before and never added any depth or player interaction which can ultimately effect longer term happenings. Short of perhaps the frigate tournament which was closed to 3 of the 4 races in EVE and had nothing whatsoever to do with RP.
please prove me wrong
So HMV consider Andy Williams and Dean Martin to be "easy listening" do they? Tell that to my mate Dave, he's been deaf for 20 years.

Ok I really don't have time to scroll thru 6 pages of whining for pirate corps who wanted to kill a jove, their prob, not mine . As for jove parts did you ever think what blood bone and brain tissue all have in common? You wonder maybe some day they could be used for something special. I wouldn't be selling if I were you, it could truely be a gift with one persons death.
