I hope you devs don't get the idea that I was trying to troll the caldari event that happened a little while ago, today D: I came there was a member of Ushra'Khan, the Tribal Liberation Force, and a gallente/minmatar loyalist at heart, seeking to disrupt Caldari defense operations how ever I could.

This resulted in me tricking the caldari actor character into undocking from the station in his pod, so that I could give him a drake, which he had lost earlier in the action. I said I couldn't dock because I was GCC'd... he said thanks, undocked, and got podded.

Also, all my talk about taking that fedo to the vet and freeing the animals was not troll-talk, either :( Both Sebastien and myself IRL are vegans and all for animal rights! And shooting fedos is bad. Also, Caldari experimenting on animals is bad, and Sebastien supports the Guristas who were freeing them from their pens. But doesn't support so much the fact that they now have to eat those slaver hounds in order to survive in the wilderness :P

Any way, it was a fun event! All of them have been, and I'm looking forward to seeing how they develop. Please don't label me a troll :(


Was a lot of fun! Hope to see you next time :)

I am very happy to see live events back again, EVE's setting is one of its biggest attractions to me so this sort of thing has been sorely missed!

My only comment is to encourage the team to keep on posting news reports and in IGS threads covering the events that are run, and to try to run events fairly often outside of what I assume to be Reykjavik office hours. Many players just won't get the opportunity to join in at that time of day.

I suggest getting Hilmar to cough up for some overtime, this stuff adds value to the game and provokes player generated content. ;)


Encouragement taken wholeheartedly! As I said further up the thread, time zones are our next challenge.

I thought it was badass! Pretty sure everyone else did too. I was the actor btw, and I could have docked to not die, but thought the idea you had was sweet and that it was quite a fitting end to my character's encounter in the system, what with him being a bit of a dumbass Big smile

A functioning LiveEvents team is a mark of excellence in a MMO. The lack of one shows the reverse.

Go with your gut dude. We don't make the rules, we just make the setting.

Every assumption you make is correct, but the second one is slightly a byproduct as pretty much all of us interact with players on a daily basis anyway.

lmfao, yes... i was thinking i wasn't going to get him, there had been more than enough time to dock up. I started thinking I should have waited until I was at the station to tell him to undock, rather than saying it while I was in-warp and then arrive well out of range of the undock area.

I thought the guy charging in was hilarious, as he seemed to kind of be the 'commander' role of the fleet... trying to get players to form up. Did anybody even follow him in, when he suicided into the bad guys? XD I don't recall anybody joining him. I sent him a mail after the whole deal, asking if he was still alive or not, as I wasn't sure if he was a capsuleer character or a mere mortal :P I also contracted him his corpse, in the description of the contract asking "Do the Caldari bury their dead?"

I wasn't originally planning to join the Caldari defense force... I was asking in the Live Events channel to join the Guristas fleet, as I figured some players that were Gurista-aligned might show up to stop the Caldari :P But the guys wanted to invite me to the defense fleet, so my idea was just to go turncloak at a good time to maybe bring a person or two down before escaping or dying. It was fun hearing the people asking the FC to kick me after attacking a wartarget thrasher on the gate... I tried defending myself by saying he targeted me first and I shot back in retaliation. I don't know if the FC was too busy or just not sure whether he should kick me or not. But he definitely did after I podded Hoks and started saying all of that 'down with the caldari!' and 'hello from the tlf!' stuff. There were even a few chuckles on voice :P

It was a good time, any way! I'm glad to see this back. I'm looking forward to the next Angel's event, or perhaps even a Serpentis one :D

Too cryptic, didnt read? - Live Events are back


I read it all. Still have no idea if these 'live events' are something a single individual (from an unallied corp) can participate in, especially if said individuals are relatively new to EVE. What?Question

I wish there were live events held for new players, which would draw us even more into the game and thereby get us talking about how great the game is to ...anyone who will listen. Lol

In fact, I have said and will say! Complete freedom and impunity are the reasons why the growth of piracy. Punishment for Piracy (suicide, Halkogedony) does not correspond to the relations in losses of ships to which an act of aggression, which is a self-leads to a complete sense of impunity. I offered more than once, "If recorded act of aggression" Suicide ", Concord intervenes and kills the" aggressor "and here are the options:" + Capsule aggressor "," If a player has been seen in the region for committing "suicide" for the first time with this violation he gets 15 minutes of half-time (as before), 2-time: Day of the ban to stay in the region where an accomplished act, 3 - once a player gets a week ban finding fulfillment in the region of the Act, 4 times a month. Moreover, the ban is controlled by the "Concorde" if the offender go into a region where "he was not happy" destroyed capsule offender and not a ship! "
That's when the pirates (as one of the game modes) as the class left, but piracy is not as common, but it will be possible!

To date with stending in 5.0 can produce up to eight suicides, followed by a week "laundered at the 0.0" and then go back and repeat ...

Live events are awesome. We're having a blast and my brother already got some nice footage out of it.

Just remember to only fly what you can afford to lose Big smile I've already seen some rather pimped out T3's go down.

Hmm..am I deceived or are the new new Angel Incursions supposed to eventually cover both EVE and DUST 514?

I mean the first blog report is all about PLANETARY raids.

LOL - great excuse for EVE pilots to orbital bombard without driving early DUST players away.

(Later when DUST is healthy there will be "an experiment of EVE versus DUST player survival" I am sure.)

Our goal is to make events non-exclusive, and new players can absolutely participate in the events. Close to 60 people yesterday were just sitting in system, or on grid in a noobship, absorbing the script in local, enjoying the story as it played out.

If your brother's who I think he is, his videos are awesome! We're very grateful for his and others efforts to showcase the events.
