You overlook the idea that that may have been the intended design to begin with.

Riiiiight.. except 4. Capsuleers get mad at CCP.


Once again the forum eats a post.
Was gonna say what needed to be said but now.... F U CCP

I had no clue what was happening beyond stage in Meves for an event. Waste of time.

Pretty simple answer.
CCP is now dominated by those that believe "null sec cartels the players of consequence, the rest are there to serve the cartel leaderships' whims".

A natural progression when you hire all your devs from null sec cartels.


I knew I should have invested in tinfoil instead of 'ceptors.

I think you might like the irony that this was run right after New Player Training Session that had combat basics as its theme. In the end of it new players were encouraged to join in the event, with CCP Eterne telling that 90% would probably survive it. I suppose he had inkling that the event would end before the new players would get to low/null.

If we consider escaping with your pod "survival", sure. There were a lot of bodies adrift, however...

God you sound like a carebear.


He's got 25x the number of kills you do. GTFO.


Whoop de doo. In the 4 pages of kills I looked at he has all of 2 that have less that 10 on the killmail.

I mean lets be realistic. If you metric to judge a good pilot is the ability to sit in a fleet of 80 and follow orders i think any of us would qualify as good pilots. Its just not that hard to do. Which means your point really isnt valid. What you should say is

"His killboard shows hes way better at being a good lemming, you suck at being a lemming cause your killboard sucks" am I right?

For what its worth, my killboard isnt that good. I dont judge my fun and skill by my killboard.


I flew with Fire Elf a couple of times, the first time was him doing the right thing in an interceptor and catching a pilgrim, simple fact is he is a good PvP'r!

When the going gets tough the Gankers get their CSM rep to change mechanics in their favour.

I can see where people were upset about the tidi, the rally points should have been much closer than what they were but

You were all warned you would probably be killed yet you are still complaining about it. If you want to be a highsec carebear and not ever be killed, don't go to ******* nullsec.

Explain the logic of knowing you might be killed, getting killed, then getting mad at the person who told you that you might get killed




HTUF or GTFO

At least in an abattoir cattle are led to slaughter in an orderly fashion, and they are caught unawares with a quick coup de grace' to the back of the head before they know whats coming...

In this live event however the cattle were herded like WW2 Japanese death marchers, under heavy TiDi so they could better enjoy their demise in super slow motion. More so, one could easily visualize that scene from Schindlers List on the purging of the ghetto, a CCP live events actor somewhere in the background cranking an old phonograph with gentle opera playing on it...

ffs nobody cared about getting killed of course we knew we were going to die. but people expected to die in the system of the event as a part of the event not to some instablap gatecamp after they already wasted 2 hours jumping around HS because CCP doesn't know how to properly plan an event.

1 and last event I will ever do Thanks ccp for nothing I wasted 5 hours just to get dc and dropped from fleet for 20 mins and then have to fly back to hi sec wasted time wasted sp and all the tidi THANKS


I WANT MY SP BACK FOR THIS WASTED EVENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you CCP FOR making me rage I will never do a event you hold agin!


Hands up, which idiots lost SP from not updating their clones?

And who brought their shiny ratting ships out?

No sympathy for the chumps, they saw the low sec warning and continued.

Bad plan on CCPs part having everyone go through so many systems.


i was talking about clone jumping to a empty clone and loss sp from the lack of implants i did not die in the event just went 25 jumps in ti di and wasted 5 hours to get dc when i was 1 jump into null and then could not relog for 20 mins so i missed the fight and to me it was a wast of time and sp

And yes this was the poor planning all around

CCP why DO you Hate us so much ?

Yep, people don,t understand that most of CCP fly the Blocs' colors in their offices.

Considering the easily-detectable exploits they let slide when it only concerns them, I say they might as well just spawn items for them and let them duke it out until there is empire space, NPC nullsec and Nullswarm.

^^he's right

You willingly jumped your ship into nullsec. You expected CCP to shield you and make you safe? There are game mechanics CCP could (and maybe should) have used to keep you safe-ish (like maybe having a staging titan in lowsec to bridge you guys out to nullsec) This is what nullsec alliances do.. anyone who has any pvp experience knows that gate travel is the most dangerous form of travel, thus, the majority of larger fleets in nullsec use a titan bridge. It avoids gates and helps with tidi

Just like any other fleet, ever.. you jumped into nullsec.. you assumed the risk of being killed immediately upon decloaking off the gate..

FC, what do?

Well, if you had read any of the posts the complainers made maybe it would be worth answering your bunch of bullshit.

What we wanted was a fight. We didn't have a fight, we had a gankfest - I had more fun getting ganked in my industrial 3 years ago after a canflip.

We don't want no free tickets - but for **** sake tell us where the event is, don't just funnel is into a long string of scattered ships through chokes while telling the lowsec/nullsec people where we are.

But of course you just like your pinata; getting your ass wet at the option of having fighting people eh? even noobish pve-fitted blobs with no tackle or logi or FCing whatsoever.

Actually decloaking was quite unnecessary, the smartbombs took care of that.

No, players expected a proper Live Event.

And you're wrong, CCP does "give a rats *ss" about people.

Well,
the time i read something 'bout going to 0 i thought "nice, i´ll be blown but hey, thats EvE right ? DFWYCNATL" and just tagged along for the "event"-fun.
Then... the EvenTiDi - got throu 2 camps to get the message we failed event lol. After that i just jumped back, got killed and had fun flying my pod back looking at all the other fireworks Big smile


And one other thing :
Why not create a chat-channel that has everyone but the FC/Dev leading it on mute ? I think it would help with peeps like me and some others to get at least some infos on whats going on while waiting, and to follow the lore...

p.s.:
On the Generals "leading" this : Either this was a punishment for them in the first place, or the empire deserves to be crushed !

Ok, to put this in some perspective even null residents can understand as they laugh and ask for more tears....

Players who attended the event and led by CCP into the slaughterhouse are as disappointed in CCP and their abilities as null people were with the Z9PP-H node crash.

Do you understand now?
