Yeah, just like the empire navies can't cyno ships around - oh wait they do all the time, in highsec.

You are so ignorant that I'm surprised you aren't rolling around the floor screaming in pain.

Icelandic work rules or something apparently doesn't allow CCP event "masters" to work outside M-F 9-5 Iceland tz.

Annoying as hell - especially when the customers are willing to alarm clock CTE's on the weekend wherever necessary.

You would think Marketing/Sales would step in and explain the concept of comp time and not screwing over a large portion of the customer base consistently.

Might also want to remember that the threat the Provists made to the Federation had nothing to do with Gallente Prime.

They threatened to glass all the Gallente citizens within the containment districts on CALDARI Prime if the Federation attempted to take it back.

Also, this is not the case.

I'm at work right now and have been for the last 12 hours. It's 21:04. The issues that we have regarding manpower have nothing to do with working hours.

CCP Affinity is so power mad, she refused my perfectly reasonable demand that the event be run in J105934 (aka Nova). This is terribly unfair to those of us too lazy to scan our way out of the wormhole.

When will CCP realize that without wormhole players the game would be dead, and they would all be out on the street begging for some rotten fish? Who among the fearsome forum warriors can right this terrible injustice????



I thought rotten fish was a delicacy... or was that Norway...

Why don't you guys at CCP get that the players love eve because it's not scripted, because our actions matter, so PLEASE stop with this bullcrap of fixed outcome "live events" .... If you can't do it propperly just don't do it at all imho.
If the Galenteans outnumbered the Caldari two to one, fine no probelem with loosing the Titan/ the battle then but loosing just because you say so does not represent the EVE that I came to know and you praised it to be, that your (the players) decision matters and not what someone else thought should matter to you ...

I don't see why people are upset with the Titan being potentially railroaded out, considering it was railroaded in in the first place without any player involvement at all.

Take into consideration that the Titan would be taken over by an NPC and we all know NPC's are morons. It would lose anyway.

Hell it'd probably manage to DD itself.

people are just upset because ccp pretends that people have influence. if they just removed it via storyline there would hardly be any drama

I'm a bit confused what this event is all about. Will the Leviathan be gone after tomorrow's event? Is this my last chance to see an actual titan idly floating around in high security space? If so, I'll make sure to travel to Luminaire in a few minutes. Being a new player to EVE I don't think I'll be seeing a capital ship in first person any time soon.

Edit: Oooooh. Looked it up ingame, tooltip says it's 18 km in length. That's huuuuuugh.

I'm going to go sightseeing. Cool
Luminaire is most certainly a good sight-seeing destination, more so now than ever. You should also visit the Ishukone station in Malkalen and the CONCORD station in Yulai.



Or to condense this answer a bit more:

Go visit the places where the gal/min got to break the ingame rules and subsequently "won", yeah... great story mate, but I think I'd rather watch paint dry, it's much more statisfying.


To sum it up:


Yulai: A "mysterious minmatar fleet" blows up CONCORD headquarter. (Negative consequences for the minmatar? ZERO)

Ishkuone station in Malkalen: A "mysterious gallente rogue Nyx" blows up a caldari megacorp headquarters. (Negative consequences for the gallente by tomorrow? ZERO)

Luminaire: The gallente navy gets to blow up a caldari navy titan - which does not do the obvious thing ( HINT FOR CCP FALCON: It warps to the galente home world and unleashes it's DD into the atmosphere to toast all the frogs). (Negative consequences for the gallente? Let's take an educated guess here: ZERO)


Edit: Regarding the Yulai debacle, lets not forget that said "mysterious deus ex fleet" also ravages the amarr empire, rapes and pillages unhindered and then escapes with some minor losses back home.

The amarr empire, who has the largest fleet and standing ground forces obviously DOES NOT pursue the minis home to burn Pator and Rens to cinders. Oh no, they turn around at the border. LOL


F****** right.

EDIT: Also, whether the Caldari take FW systems or not, it's always written that they lose.

Well Verone, look back in time to when TonyG was head of the fluff.

He managed to drive away 50% of the old guard active RP enablers of the caldari and amarr.


I'm not going to tell you how to run your show man, but consider that you're about to drive off the other 50% if you stay your current course.

Lae, Verone has been a Guristas/Minnie/Gallente-alinged RPer for years. That's who he was friendly with, those are the people who joined his corp, and that's who the storyline is being run for.

The fact of the matter is that things are changing.

I was a roleplayer in EVE from release until I was hired. I share the sentiments of the vast majority of the RP Community when it comes to storyline. If you could see things through my eyes now, you'd know that things are changing for the better. CCP Abraxas and CCP Gnauton are doing an absolutely amazing job.

You're attempting to crucify people before you've even seen the tip of the iceberg. For things to get better, they first have to get worse. A lot of wrongs will be righted, and a lot of new avenues for conflict will be opened up.

Patience is a virtue.

Even if you do try to make it better, you've already managed to make it so bad that it's not worth our effort to stick with it. Well done.

"I don't know what you guys are going to do but I can already tell it's going to suck!"


That's essentially what you just said, seriously the bitter because something that was railroaded in, is getting railroaded out again is unbelievable.

It's getting a little harsh. It's not like CCP just turned into EA. At least they're including it as an event, you have more than you had before at the cost of nothing and you're getting uppity because it's not perfect from the get-go.

Although I do feel a little peeved that I won't be able to join my Caldari brothers in battle against Gaylente because I showed my loyalty to the state by blowing up Gaylente.

Just seems counter-intuitive.
