Um, every time we take a lot of Gallente systems, CCP writes it up as a Gallente victory, with Caldari getting screwed. If we let the Gallente take all the systems, we get the same thing, but we get to fight closer to Jita. Do the math.

Truthiness.

can you extend the duration until sunday downtime? friday - saturday eve downtime is not a whole day holiday

Will there be any special considerations given out for attending the event as a space pilot? I know the Dusties are getting special dropsuits. Any chance for a special, well, anything for attending the space game??

Question for the horribly uninformed, when do these events typically occur?

Isn't it actually fact that although this mechanic is true, Gallente FW characters have been spotted OB CP despite your reiteration here that its not possible for them to? Granted live events are scripted, but to allow Gallente to OB and Caldari not to only serves to present an unbalanced approach to a game where the devs are attempting to balance it.

As I understand it, live events were originally conceived of as a means to allow players to ban together in a quasi-unscripted manner to determine how the outcome would play out. For instance, Incursions. They were designed to allow players from any race or skill level to participate and have an equal chance at molding the outcome in their favor. Essentially what CCP has done here is an Anti-Live Event. What is happening is that CCP is once again placing game development mandates on a player base who fell in love with the player's role in the game....not the devs.

I had hoped the events of the Jita riots some time ago game Devs insights into what the players find acceptable and not. However, it seems they haven't learned at all. Caldari are going to lose, the titan will go down, and nothing anyone does on either side will stop that from happening....kind of a storyline buzz kill don't you think? The least CCP could do is force NPC navies to shoot each other as well. The Caldari are pretty much getting the ass end of this deal.

After the hit to Heavy missiles, nerfs to the viability of missiles in general, increasing armor tanking and leaving shields out to dry. This little stunt of the Caldari taking yet another hit doesn't surprise me at all. I used to fly Caldari, but ive been switching over to Amarr now since Caldari ships really are becoming crap.

This event is supposed to strengthen the playing relationship between eve and dust and yet it is only the gallente and minmatar who are gaining anything from this event. Thank you CCP for reasserting my point that the Caldari are becoming a dying race to play and will certainly be defeated tomorrow as well. I think I liked this game more when devs WERENT involved.

OMG the butthurt in this thread. I got the gist skimming a few posts. It's a ******* game guys. Why make yourselves mad over something you can't control. It's not like there won't be/haven't been some storyline events that Gallente won't like. That's really the very nature of "storyline". It's being written by an author. Do you get this mad reading a damn book and having characters die or whatever in them?

Anyway, so many people won't be able to participate in this crap regardless because we've all gone pie with the stupidity of plex mechanics and neutrals. So most of us can't attend and don't really care about this. I care way more about the warzone and the fights there. A canned "live event" is just that. It really shouldn't bother anyone either way tbh. Put some of that butthurt into having fun in warzone fights and forget about this thing. Don't ruin your rl health getting so wound up over it.

And CCP if you are going to fix anything pve and npc related how about fixing the stupid faction rat AI so that we can enter an enemy mission and not have our own rats blow us up for trying to kill the enemy missioner. Or how about having any neutral that comes into a plex get flagged for aggressing the faction of the dplexer, loses faction standing, and that rat will attack the neutral.

People attending this thing should just try to have fun if you can suspend your emotional "attachment" to the in-game factions. It's just a game, and this event is not really a contest the way the warzone pvp is, so why get all bent over it.

edit - are you all Damar alts?

I believe my post was pretty calm; however, it seems you sir are the one getting butt hurt and mad over our protest of these incidents. Im sure if the tables were reverse you would be doing the same, game or not, players expect to play the game, not sit and look pretty for CCP to play the game for them.

CCP has always maintained this sorta of non-interference policy in the past to allow players to build the universe not CCP Devs, and over the last few years that has changed. To be honest I do not believe devs should be doing live events in the first place. Let us play the game...not observe it >.>

Well, CCP has been running "Caldari suck and are nazis" and "Amarr are evil child-molesting religious slavers" stories for, uh, let's see, about the past five years, whether the Caldari and Amarr won, or lost. And when DUST was introduced, the first thing they made sure to do was to run a massive campaign with the Caldari trying to kill all of the players. I'm surprised there are any dusties left on anything but the Minnie/Gal sides. There are certainly precious few Caldari or Amarr RPers anymore, compared to what there used to be.

And why would someone want to join the Amarr or Caldari? At this point it is very clear that our only purpose is to be the whipping boy for CCP and Minnie/Gal/Guristas players to look good beating. If anyone RPing on the Caldari or Amarr side has any self-respect left, they'll quit.

It doesn't matter whether they are dyed in the wool fanboys or not, though it looks that way. What matters is what they've done. It didn't start with the CP event, and it won't end with it. They've said they were going to "change things" before, and every time they do that, they have another event or storyline that goes after the Caldari and/or Amarr. Form your own conclusions.

But it's pretty clear that continuing to RP Caldari is basically asking to be CCP's punching bag. Why someone would like that is beyond me.
