The tears alone may have been worth sitting around in a game for 9 hours.

You could have killed that Titan, all you had to do was drop your Super fleets.....Lol

We had far too many Slowcats waiting to cyno in for you kill it with Subcaps, so all the node crash accomplished was preventing us from sitting around until downtime.
You should be thanking CCP for putting you out of your misery...

Simple enough solution.
You hate TiDi, as any normally thinking human would.
Your game time is far to valuable to be sitting doing virtually nothing for 2 hours. Fair enough.

So quit the null sec cartel game, and play in FW, or in NPC nullsec, where stupid battles numbering in the 1000s of pilots don't happen, and your fun/hour is many orders of magnitude higher.

I love reading from all the null sec cartel propagandists about how null sec sov battles are the thing CCP uses to draw people to the game, and how the null sec warfare is the most attractive piece of the game from a marketing point of view.
Would dearly love CCP spin ANY TiDi'ed battle into a marketing tool, unless they crank up the speed 100 fold over what actually occurred.

The simple truth is that CCP can never use sov battles as something to lure people to the game, if people actually saw how awful they were. It is one thing to tell media sites "we had 4000 people duking it out in one system". It is quite another to display the true experience.

Before the last few days our corp has been playing frigates in FW lowsec space for a few weeks to pass the time, while it is certainly enjoyable and fun it is not the same as null sec warfare and offering it as a solution does not come close.

The node wasn't reinforced last night because the idea to escalate was spur of the moment and hence we suffered with only 1500 dudes in local ( note, we have had battles over 4000 work far better than last night ) Hence all the whining in this thread is meaningless and pointless. Had it been the CFC in charge of last night's fun we would have reinforced the node anyway due to experience in blob warfare, I'm sure rusrus have now learnt the same lesson and next time N3 may not be so lucky. Its also interesting to note about 6 posters actually tried to call bullshit on CCP in this thread yet we are at 11 pages, food for thought.

And it was upon this day, that a quarter of Nullsec drowned in a sea of salty, salty tears. The servers could not contain the saline waters any longer, and burst, flooding over all the entirety of Eve.

And I beheld this with mine own teary eye, though a grin I wore instead of a frown.

And looked down upon the masses, standing above their broken Supers.

And thus I spoke:

"can i hav ur stuff?"

If I could fuel a Titan bridge with Op's tears, I could bridge the entirety of New Eden into Jove space in one shot.

This is obviously the fault of the players involved, for not filing a 'fleet fight notification' with CCP in triplicate three months prior to the fight happening...

Would you like to know more?

Cripes these threads……Ugh Aren’t Space Monkeys a Goonie renter Alliance anyway? Why would you be so upset about the node dying when you’re a “neutral third party” with no skin in the game?

If this war is truly the new RUS Coalition vs. N3/PL, and you’re looking for great fights, why don’t both sides agree to shoot any CFC “Neutrals” that enter the field? This will help limit the TiDi during your engagements and keep goonies and all their pet alliances home camping gates, shooting empire care bears, and boasting about how big their blue list is…Cool

That is unless CFC’s not really a “neutral third party”……Blink and if that’s the case I look forward to many more of these crashed node threads…..Roll

I just find it so funny that there are so many 'GF's in this thread when just a few days ago it was all 'getrekt'. Funny how the e-honour reappears when CCP Saves your Shinies. Oh well. I guess I should thank CCP for repairing my mael's armor, it was all so totally worth it after flying around shooting stuff all day while on fire.

We were disappointed. We had just jumped 30 bombers into the system to lay into the CFCs battleship groups and ended up sitting there for an hour unable to move, activate modules, etc.

We were literally 30km off of a group of CFC Megas and some Machs! It was very frustrating that the node crash saved so many CFC ships.

im sorry i refuse to believe you are this re tarded. the only super in danger was 1 titan, and he was saved thanks to CFC. so really u should be mad at your masters for ruining ur chance to get lucky and kill that super. its not like there was not 116 slowcats ready to jump back to the titan... and the PL slowcats had the titan stable at 50%ish... so next time bring more dreads so PL titans can come in as well.

btw your trap was really a trap set by the 12 PL spies in BL.. GG TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Ruins the entire point of the game to have Tidi.

I'm assuming you weren't around before TIDI came into being. Perhaps if you were, you'd be thanking CCP for the awesomeness that is TIDI, as opposed to complaining that it ruins the game.
