CCP not streaming, but third party is - I won't link since CCP is so twitchy about things out of their control, but its on one of the major EVE news/blog sites. :)

This cap has already been enacted, but we will be dynamically altering it as the server load requires and raising it if everything runs smoothly."

FAIL
Never imagined a game with tens of thousands of subscriptions capping a game wide event at 1000 players...even Jita can support more than that:(



1000 EVE combatants is a lot considering the database portion is ALSO supporting ALL the DUST combatants who can make it there. so more like 16K combatant on database portions. Fortunately the EVE game action is executed on separate server from DUST.

I have to wonder if the 1,000 pilot cap is because this is a Dust Bunny event as well and that is drawing down resources in addition. And they want to make sure things go smoothly for them.


separate servers for game execution. Only certain databases are common...and probably the reason for the cap.

Don't want market to crash and DUST bunnies unable to buy more ammo do we (* watching 100s of rabid EVE heads shaking yes that would be fun *).

Plus of course orbital bombardment interface is probably not designed to have 100s of responding pilots for every target.

Event ruined by the global flags
Any chance of a Gallente vs Caldari RP event was ruined.

I think there's bigger issues here, considering that there are 5x as many dreads for the Gallente as there are for the Caldari.

Disable police in the systems where people wait to get in. It is annoying to warp around planets just to dodge white crosses. Pirate

well flagging everyone turned the event in just a big clusterf*. might have been better ways to deal with that

It is not bad. But knowing before the fight even begun that Gallente will destroy the titan is a bit not EVEish.

BALEX, bringing piracy on a whole new level.

eve is real

not the roleplaying, you're just a spectator for ccp devs having their own fun roleplaying in which you are entirely shut out of relevance

what's real is getting your ship killed for spectating

we no longer use QA shield extenders!

we just drop CCP dreads in 1.0 systems and use aoe dds to ensure exactly what was planned happens because we didn't get the message that scripting events and barring players from interfering is dumb we just thought they were mad about that one specific mod

coming up for next event: Polaris shield extenders, with twice the hp of QA shield extenders
