Pretty please?

I'll love you forever if you do as something this epic couldn't be conveyed with words alone.

Or perhaps a trailer of the Navy pushing through the Border Zone back to The Home World and all the Caldari troops making planet-fall on Caldari Prime... -_-

A direct attack on the leviathan wouldn't be in the cards. A more covert operation perhaps. An operative that has a deep cover and been in the caldari navy for years gets his duty rotation to the leviathan and does a little sabotage and slips off the ship and a little bit later the ship has massive failure in some system that results in the ship being destroyed.

Politics aside, this would make a far better vid. There's so much more passion and feeling behind retaking the Homeworld than simply blowing up a Titan.

I'm ok with this if they animate the ghettos full of millions of Gallente being vaporized.

Highsec is owned by players now. Systems 0.5-1.0 are New Order Territory. All miners and other residents of Highsec must obey The Code. Mining without a permit is dangerous and harmful to the EVE community. See www.MinerBumping.com

I disagree that a trailer would be the most epic way to do this.

Maybe a Live event would be a much better way of doing this?? Big smile

On a similar note would love it if CCP produced a Mini-series (hell even try and get it broadcasted on TV) using ingame captured footage (from dust and eve) showing off the major events in the history to promote the next expansion.

The footage could be from modified from a dev run live event.

The first (second?) ever live event for Dust Bunnies:
Infiltration and Destruction of the Leviathan!

They are immortal, what do they care for if they die in the process, and they would be EEPIIIIXXX!!!111one

Heck, I'd consider buying a console just so I could take part...

"We want PvE activities to require active participation and mirror PvP more closely." Stacking penalty for NPC EWAR then? Lock range under 9km from over 100 in a BS is not fun. Nor is two NPC web drones making me crawl 10m/s. PvP SW-900 x5: 75m/s.

Hey CCP now that Gallente has full warzone control over the space fascists... now is the time to strike at that titan!

Suprise twist, the titan resets gallente FW

edit: also lol at all the "freedom fighters" in gallente, they are just as oppressed as the Caldari, they are just to corrupt to admit it.

Naw, CCP has been waiting for Gallente to take all systems for years, otherwise they won't get the chance to screw over Caldari RPers again by having Caldari Prime "liberated". Bet we get a news article tomorrow, next week at latest. And you can bet those "ebul Caldari" have been killing Gallente civilians in job lots. Hey, Heth's probably also a clone of hit-ler. Yay.

Although the tinfoil hat is strong here I agree with the jist of your post. CCP seems to be making EVE more black and white and less grey, in reality all of the factions are equally bad.

Also a lot of people are unaware of the negative aspects of the Gal/Min (see race intros), neither the Gal or Min intro points to the fact that each of them have bad sides. Which isn't exactly "fair" but such is life.

It took them about three months to even acknowledge the Caldari taking all systems. It took them about two weeks to report when the Gallente finally took some back. They waited until the Gallente had almost all the systems during the see-saw, then introduced the patch that made retaking systems much harder in one of the fastest patches Eve has ever seen, with virtually no warning. The Gallente took all the systems yesterday, and there is an official IGS post about it the next day. Maybe it's all one big coincidence, but my reliance on that hypothesis decreases as coincidences pile up.

The IGS post was made by me.

Back when the Caldari took all the systems and dominated factional warfare, there was pretty much no Live Events team around to do anything of the sort. I also didn't work for the company, or I'd have made a post from the Caldari Navy back then.

Now we have a solid, sizable team and the whole concept of Live Events has ownership within the company, we're able to do more.

It's interesting to see how attitudes have changed from the Militias though. It always seems that the Militia on the losing side, regardless of which side of factional warfare we're talking about, accuses the other side of exploiting or botting, or accuses CCP of bias toward the side that's winning. This has been a back and forth that's gone on since factional warfare was introduced.

The fact of the matter is that roleplay and backstory in EVE is changing dramatically, it's becoming far more interactive and dynamic. It's been slow moving for the last few years, because development focus has been elsewhere, and with good reason. Now it's picking up again, and posts like what's on the IGS are just the start.

My advice would be not to waste your energy on creating negative posts like this on the forums. Times are changing, there'll be a LOT of changes in the coming months as to how the four empires are perceived and how their image and politics is played out.

If you want to be part of it, want to influence it, and want to make your mark on EVE's backstory, then you need to get in game, start interacting with your faction contact and make a difference. Hundreds of people are already doing so, and from the feedback I've received are thoroughly enjoying what's going on so far.

Where were you when the Caldari Navy pounded the Guristas in October/November?
Where were you when Heth got shot, and the Caldari Navy blockaded New Caldari Prime with supercapitals in December?

This is EVE, and as the guy who's organizing Live Events from now on, I want them to reflect that. People are going to have to fight for the taste of victory.

The Gallente fought tooth and nail to occupy these systems, so did the Caldari when they claimed them all. The Caldari got a medal, the Gallente have received a public acknowledgement from the Commanding Officer of the Federation Navy.

I'm sorry if it sounds harsh, but you only have yourself to blame when things aren't going your way if you don't actively rally enough people and fight to assist the faction you pledged loyalty to.

The days of supporting a faction with a few forum posts are over. From here on, you're going to be expected to put your guns into action, or flex your industrial might to do so.
