Probably the WORST event I've wasted my time on in my 10 years of EVE ...

I do wonder what people like you define as 'real pvp'.

The duel system?

should have a Poll how many feel like telling CCP so shove their subscription?Ugh
Ok I thought new content, nice Idea, I'll try it might be fun 2 hours later I am 2 jumps from Ihal and I hear there's mass smart bombing on the Ithal gate.

They really really seem to want people to ragequit

415 ships killed in Doril in last hour, 157 in Hemin, 14 in Mifrata, 31 in Sendaya.

173 made it to destination system - to pop there.

I don't have a clue why they did this. CCP knew this area has been well fought over in the past week. They walked us into a massive gank. Told us to jump in and watched us die. No CCP State support at all.

Utter Disgrace. I used to have a lot of respect for CCP but now it seems like they are in the pocket of the C.F.C. Nice free kill handout guys.

Speechless.

Can't find kind words at this point. Please do us all a good and blow the entire region up.

That was a huge joke.

Over 1000 capsuleers were still burning on the way, with 10% tidi between each gate. Doril, already had 500 in it, 2/3 of my fleet got traffic control as they jumped in. With 200 already on the gate. We got slaughtered like lambs.

I managed to get away but scrambled to a pos that was full of goons, caps and otherwise. Heh, go figure. Tin foil hat anyone?

I can. Today's live event is brought to you by the letters 'F" and "U". Evil

First "LIVE Event" I've managed to make in 9.9 years of playing (even took 1.5 hours off work to get my Corp mate sorted) so I JC'd and jumped 27J into Sarum Prime late last night ready to roll. Corp Mate JC'd into an implantless clone and moved 31 jumps tonight while eating his dinner at the computer to get there "in time".

I got audio trouble so logged, couldn't get back in so opted to be moved 1 system over. Corp Mate followed. TiDi @ 40% in a system with 58 people.

Corp Mate got socket closed time and again so logged off for the night.

Formed fleet and got told to move...3 hours later I was still in TiDi hell moving to the system to start "Staging".

No comms or organisation from CCP\Actors really and I agree with most of the complaints in this thread.

Advantages:

1) Met some nice people in an ad-hoc fleet we formed
2) Got some great, and I do mean fricking great screenshots while at 10% TiDi of shizz you can't normally get unless you FRAPS it
3) Had a good natter on comms to people all over the world.

Would I do it again....hell no. I could do all that without the TiDi hell in fleets I fly in already.

What motivated me to participate? The "Flash News" and CTA and the sense of doing something for the greater good. I didn't expect free stuff like some people (but a medal would've be cool).

A bit disappointed this is a "CCP Organised LIVE Event"

Oh and still travelling home after leaving TiDi behind. I feel like The Flash when I walk around the house now.

agreed. this was horrible, my first and last live event. and the fact that no one at CCP though up the WH vs. having everyone jump thru null is absurd.

Next time CCP makes an event I will set autopilot 60 jumps in the opposite direction and go watch a movie. Then if I am still alive just blow myself up for good measure. Should be way more fun than today's event.

I followed the original information and was in Sarum Prime, only to be ordered to a system 20+ jumps away. I started to move to Ihal the moment it was announced in local, and arrived an hour later there. The first fleets were already dead at that point and it was clear that jumping into low or even null would be suicide.

Of course EVE is a sandbox and we can expect certain groups to try and kill any such large group of players. But why plan the whole thing in a way that ensures that we either waste our time jumping 20+ system through 10% TiDi or just die without a chance if we were fast enough.

This was my first event, I would not have minded dying and planned for it with an empty clone. But I didn't participate in the event to just travel 20+ systems in TiDi without anything at the end.

Yes, unprepared to fight against the several alliances that previously staged/setup there.
