Was looking forward to this event, glad IRL events prevented me from showing up now lol. I had no idea what to expect I was going to use my prized CNR. (I'm a fairly new noob, only 10m SP)

Lucky escape I guess. What actually happened? Any empire fighting at all? Or just null sec players having a field day?



Gallente fleets made it to system and fought and well died. I do not know how many was able to break back to empire space.

after years and years Pitboss decided that since it's a CCP event it will be finally safe for him to go into null sec

he steps in meekly, holding big CCPs hand

let's go look at the first post in this thread and see how his first real EVE experience went

I love all the nullbears putting on their game face and acting tough.
Hey nullbears, can we take away your Local now?
Thats what I thought carebears. :)


Poorly ran event. Not all that impressed. The HS Titan event was AWESOME, but this one got dropped on the floor CCP

See normally I would buy that, BUT you were sort of given an idea of the destination. MD or Utopia.


Didn't know what you were on here, but thought better check facts. I missed this post from CCP Eterne entirely. I also missed they have created new chat channels for their events. Hmm, kinda explains the lack of information on my part.

First off no I cant imagine the FC scenario because typically FCs do not operate with 3000 players, thus they dont worry about needing to space those players over multiple systems to prevent TiDi.

Yes but CCP should have known there would be a 3000 player turn out and planned for it.

Secondly, CCP never expected or asked us to TRICKLE into Null Sec, the request was to Trickle from Sarum Prime 1.0 to Ihal 0.5 Once everyone were there we could then proceed to travel together.


Fair. However CCP was not there in Ihal to lead onward. CCP should have been the FC in this case and we were let down by our FC and now we are upset.

Dear Nul people

Nobody cares about losing their ships, everyone that went to the event expected their ship would get blown up. It didn't matter if it was happening in high, low, or nul it was always going to end in a free for all, so stop congratulating yourselves, its a bit sad taking the credit for this. By the time we got the length of your fleets we were strung out half way across empire space and most just wanted to get blown up so the whole stupid ordeal would be over. A lot of people self destructed before jumping into nul, I thought I'd jump in and have a few seconds of action after all the time I wasted getting there because I had nothing to lose, but after reading the hollow boasting on here I see why people would rather not give you the satisfaction of a kill report. Your not the ones harvesting tears here, we were trolled by CCP, i'd just like to know why a company that wants to stay in business thinks it's a good idea to troll their own customers?

This whole event was staged to make high sec players into cannon fodder for nulsec alliances, they did everything possible to ensure we would be completely helpless when we got there, and they made sure we didn't know we were going to nulsec until it was too late to turn back. I'm disgusted tbh

This was my first event ever and it was a total blast. Not joking. I was running with a RvB fleet and when we weren't burning to escape bubbles we were blowing people up. We sat at one gate and watched a live stream of the **** on the other side. About 3 seconds after we reached the target destination CCP goes "Events over of have fun with your FFA" and then I got podded in about 5 seconds.

13 page post and not 1 dev chiming in yet? Lol

My question to all you fine folks? Aren't live events supposed to have some type of meaning to them? Hmm. Sounds like ccp feed you to the nullseccers. You jumped into a gate camp you say? Lol!

What dd you guys expect? You jumped into null you were killed. I understand there was no event content. Ccp deliberately fed you to the beast deal with it because that was the intentions. Now the nullseccers can plex easier.

erm.. CCP were in charge of one of the fleets, 2 NPC's were in the one that went to Doril, people in fleet all knew of the camp ahead, many were asking for him to wait for everyone in fleet to arrive and other reinforcements. It was the ccp FC who gave the order to jump in and not fire and burn away from the bubbles that he knew were there. Ranged cfc fleet had a turkey shoot because of the CCP fc's orders.

Can people confirm that the CCP controlled Pirates self distructed? That the events out come was predetermined?

On Live Events channel ISD announced that after attack was successfully repelled and base saved, pirates destroyed their own base. I was amused.


Yeah. I was watching with a scout. Also set off with a bomber from the HS rally point.

Hardly anyone who set out from Sarum made it there though - a couple hours travelling in tidi, then no way through the absolutely predictable bottleneck gate camp.

At the time the event finished, there were just 200-300 in local - most of the combat being a darkside cerb fleet and the initiative in nagas (or the other way round?). However, Dorrill/Sendaya and so on had quite a few thousand between them.

You do your thing with complex's , and we do our own thing with incursions. I don't see how we were encroaching on null and the meatshield for null, provided by ccp, made it easier.
