Could someone please tell me what was accomplished today? The event was over before our little fleet got there... Well, we got gatecamped but that was after the announcement that the event was over.

It showed the empires are impotant?


But it was to stop pirate illegal research. The Gallente fleet partly made it to the target system, but was repulsed by the pirate fleets. But the research station was blown up. No idea how the Amarr fleet did.

Serpentis pirates won in syndicate, it was a whitewash, the highsec guys didn't even show.

As a high sec player I (actually an alt) made it to the serpentis target system. I warped fast enough to get ahead of the congestion and out of the tidi. I warped to the beacon to shoot the research facility... but I never saw it. Maybe it did not load due to client lag, but I never saw it. But a minute later my ship was killed and a minute after that I was back at my clone station.

I expected that outcome when CCP asked for players to defend the pirates. I figured that meant it would be in null where far more firepower, and player good at using it, would be available. Good thing I was in a clean clone and flying a ship I did not want.

So the research facility was destroyed?

Not for lack of trying.

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

Only about 10 of us from the Amarr fleet arrived at the station we were supposed to destroy and CCP ended up self destructing it when we all died.

i.e. yet another rigged outcome for a live event. Why CCP doesn't just make cutscenes and post them on Youtube for these things is a mystery.

Well, now it is official!

No decent Event Managers could be found in ICELAND!

Please, volunteers are needed to help develop this island...

Shame CCP or was it just intended to provide for more Goons victims?

Its a CCP event so you know its going to be crap.

Whay on earth did they get us to form up 25 jumps away and then expect us to warp all that way in heavy TiDi? Why not get us to form up nearby? It can't be for a surprise attack as the defenders had 2-3 jumps to do with no TiDi and we had 25 jumps with 10-25% tiDi

If the same moron who decided to send 1200 ppl 24 Systems through Highsec on 10% Tidi Nodes had decided to open a ******* wormhole to the destination system they might have shown up.

It wasn't rigged. CCP totally expected people to go through 25 jumps of 10% TiDi 3 jumps of totally bubbled gates and a few thousand organised players......what am I saying it was a CCP event, it wasn't vindictive, it was just incompetence.

Most of those that left the highsec rally point spent the entire time of the event travelling, because of max tidi. It was over before they had any chance of getting there.

See the problem is they went ahead with a self destruct, let the players detrmin the path, todays path pirate won this and did it lopsidedly.

Took me alot of effort and lots of talking with people, but managed to get a fairly complete image of the Live event from an IC point of view:

Capsuleers respond en masse to Call to Arms, Navies fail to provide assistance!

In short: Capsuleers failed to arrive (most didn't even make it to the meatgrinders in null!) Pirates won & secured their research.

Very nicely done and in a nice game lore/news style, Glad you were able to find out so much.
the only question I have is if the reports of capsuleers being instructed to enter the gate camped systems, almost as if they had been betrayed rather than incompetence, It appears there were some in authority who wished to see the capsuleers sacrificed; And others reporting that their flight commanders abandoned them once they had been delivered for slaughter.

Possibly Traitors in the Navies and Others?
Could place a role based 'explanation' to what appears to have happened, Investigations are taking place? and those responsible will be reeducated in the Amarr slave camps if found culpable?

This could allow a certain amount of face saving all round?

Just a thought, Your work is good stuff.
