Will there be any shout outs to previous live events such as Arek'Jaalan?

That's what we were just thinking about.

Just wanted our... 'beloved' capsuleers to remember that Sansha forces are not entirely comprised of NPC fleets.

Maybe if CCP could run specific events and let interested alliances know before hand? or atleast drop a hint, these events would get alot more people attending.

Edit.
It's a suggestion not a Critisicm by the way, looked over what i said and looked kinda dickish :)



Well I guess I'll get a Jump Clone near Minmitar lo sec... or should I put it in Anglels NPC SOV? Any chance these priates will attack Minmitar HI SEC? Maybe these Angels should join up with James 315 & start ganking( better yet bumping Lol) Ice miners in nearby ICE FIELDs outside of his haunts near Jita and closer to RENs?
I guess better question would be if there is a home base I can plop a JC & a few scout/BC PvP ships that won't be 50 jumps away from every live event & willo it move out of Minmitar/Angels normal haunts in lo sec space Question or should I just play it by ear & expect pirates behind every major lo sec area Pirate

To address the various questions we have had about timezones, we would like to say that it is important to us to cater for peak times around the world so that everyone has a chance to participate. We will be concentrating on our core working hours at first, to let us get settled in our processes and routine, so that when we carry out events at odd hours the lack of sleep will be our only concern.

Lack of sleep?

Toughness up princess. You work developing and playing a game thats others spend all their time doing for fun and you get PAID for it. Seriously, you devs are all living the dream Blink

There was a comment above about this as well. Arek'Jaalan is not in our current planned arc set. It's very difficult to continue someone else's story in a manner that won't be perceived badly by those already invested in it. That being said, we're not just categorically saying we'll never pick it up, we just don't have it in our plans right now and don't want to force it.

If this is what I think it is (i.e., pirate-based "incursions" across space), then I'd be all over it...as long as it's not totally as difficult as incursions as they are now.

I love live stuff like this! My guys have been looking to get involved in incursions and live events for awhile (but we get busy with real life and other stuff, too XD).

Recommendations:

-enable ships wobbling in hangar view (pre-Captains Quarters)

-add more missions (NPC fleet vs. NPC fleets that actually shoot)

-STOP NERFING EVERYTHING!

Join Live Events!

Gues it's that time again to promote EVE Online at a convention; GDC Online.

Nice to showcase actual eve gameplay during those slots only, wish live events had a more perminant smell to it Bear




We have a plan right up to Christmas, for now. Also. if we are showing live events at GDC.. well I am going to GDC and this is news to me ;)

This is separate from the Sansha live events - very different.

does this means black op's get buffed?

I'm not asking for it to be picked up with this series of live events, only for it to be mentioned in passing, or something that was researched as part of it eluded to.
