...but really don't b/c it actually won't be involved in anything other than to let us stand here and laugh at you?

And why isn't the Meves set moving 23 jumps somewhere else with thousands of ppl and TiDi minutes before the 'event'?

Their servers can't handle a full blob, so they split the blob by inconveniencing them. Will probably work as many CTRL-Q'd out of there.

The question remains whether it is good business practise, when all I get out of their game is a waste of my time .

Yeah, i just wasted my whole day for this event......and i know of ppl who stayed home from work to participate in this...who are getting screwed....i know we're not going to be able to get involved b/c it will likely be over before any of us from Sarum can even think about making it to Ihal.

Unbelievably pissed off right now. To say the least.

How are we spossed to make 23 jumps in....oh wait, too late, it's "time to start"....with 10% TiDi...

I will not be doing any more live events with/for ccp, so ccp please dont ask. Extreamly poor planning and direction, I spent more than 2 hrs just getting to the 2nd waypoint. Crap planning, guess thats par for the course on what we can expect from ccp now.

Well, getting into a scuffle is the entire point of such an event. 1200 people are a lot of fish anyway, a low sec gate isn't certain death.

x3. Nice way to 'reward' the null-sec players (again), and 'excellent' way to attract new players to the game. Roll
CCP, you suck on so many levels right now... Evil

All speculation aside, there are still hundreds of players waiting to find out if this event has even started yet, we formed up where told at the exact time told, then made best speed to the new destination, and are now sitting waiting for further instructions.

If the Event is over, please let us know so we can at least fight the TIDI and get off home.

Pretty sure its over....but yeah...

They really need to make a dedicated channel where they advertise all the needed info and only they can talk in it...

Seconded

Don't get me wrong even though I flew about 40 jumps just to burn and die at the hands of goons that was fine but I would of actually liked to know what was going on.

That said I can die at the hands of goons whenever I like I have a sov map so its not hard. It would of been nice to have an npc fleet come and fly with us after all it was the empire who invented this idea.

This was stupid.

Warped around for far too long in 10% TiDi in highsec. Than plowed through empty nullsec in Providence and catch around Doril, as it was clear that it would be camped from the moment CCP announced the dest. system.

Entered destination system, saw some beacon with some ships near it and some yellow text stating some weird stuff not corresponding with what happend on field.

Warped of to a save because was getting targetted, Ping ponged back onto the grid.

Saw it ended with some more yellow text.

Left confused and flew back to highsec.


First and last live event for me, very underwelming. I would assume CCP would at least reinforce the nodes that had the starting and end systems on them.

My first event. Got a couple nice fights in null and lowsec, got some funny kills off criminals jumping back into highsec. Didn't get to even see what the main target was because got to the site too late. Generally fun, but the execution on the CCP side was... described in previous comments. Will come to the next one, but hope to see at least somewhat better organization.

Also, whelping an unorganized highsec fleet into several well-organized nullsec fleets in nullsec is a rather poor idea. They should have at least boosted the highsec fleet with a couple (dozens) NPC ships. I mean, where are those empire navy fleets which I thought were supposed to be the core of this operation? Empires call for help, in practice turns out they only provide two... flawed... FCs and nothing more.
