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

You're all going to be even more annoyed when you realise the people who turned your fleet into a turkey shoot were AFK.

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.


I was on that route with another character of mine. Got a bit lost on the way from the others in the same fleet (31 of us) as the route objectives were taking first on one route and then when I heard the target system I put it as destination, taking me shorter route. I ended up entering the system from other side than where CCP was leading us, encountered no one, heard in fleet chat that things had gone south, it was over and we should save our ships. At first I thought to leave with my Corax intact, but it had been put together just to be lost there, so I went for bubbles I knew of and lo and behold - there was Caracal that helped me fast home (thank you, whoever you were. It was kind of you).

Just shows that empires cannot win when fighing the null sec alliances.

Oh god, guess I am lucky I missed it!

I hope that now CCP experienced a glimpse of what null sec players have to deal with, imagine doing that tidi to 1% and playing for 5-6 hours because your ships are stuck otherwise.

Maybe it's time to fix TiDi?

Thanks for playing to my point. We don't care about the big fight. We aren't upset about dying. We don't care about our ship losses or the fact that TiDi made combat slow.

We are upset at the utter lack of communication from CCP for this Live Event and the utterly atrocious planning from CCP.

The getting blown up at the end of the trip was the BEST part of my night and I thank you for that. It was the unnecessary 2 hour trip through high sec at 10% TiDi with no input from our FC (CCP) that was most upsetting!

This really sounds like an "expectations management" situation.

Systems with a thousand people in them experience heavy time dialation (this is why titan bridging to systems is so popular). If you didn't expect this, now you know.

Disorganized masses are generally slaughtered by competent opponents. Especially when they employ voice coms, use a tested fleet concept, know the area, and are generally prepared for the fight.

Harden the **** up, welcome to EVE. You haven't seen shitall about bad communication unless you went on a sov-holding Test fleet.

All this "highsec vs. nullsec" b*llsh*t is distracting from the main issue here: CCP utterly ****** up a routine event. ("Rally here; go there; fight.") And to all the nullsec people chortling about their glorious victory: if this is the kind of event you really want CCP to run in the future, keep poking the angry carebears, because if CCP gets the idea that this result was "fun", then all of EVE is going to lose.

There are two possible scenarios here:

1) Not WAI: Someone planned things very poorly, did not anticipate TIDI, or did not provide sufficient NPC/Dev-intervention support to balance the (obvious, in retrospect) bubblecamps. If there was a lore plan/Rubicon release concepts, they completely lost sight of it, or did not anticipate the difference between planning and execution.

2) WAI: Spoonfeeding people to nullsec bubblecamps was their plan, and was part of their lore plan/Rubicon release concepts.

Either way: terrible.

So: people should stop sniping at each other about nullsec vs. carebears. It's a huge sideshow. Even if you sat and racked up killmails in your bubblecamp, you should be annoyed that this wasn't a better event.

So because a sh***y alliance in EVE sucks ... that makes it the norm of play?

Yes? Considering every nullsec alliance is like this except for like, two or three in the entire game.

Noobs and hisec residents know the dangers of 0.0.

WHat happened has the feel that CCP holds highsec residents in contempt to lead us out on an "Organized Event" to be slaughtered.

"Come defend the empire!" ... what we got was an Organized CCP Ambush

"This is the real EVE" .. BS. EVE is far more than nullsec ganking.

We know what to expect when wandering in to nullsec. We expected far far far more from a CCP event.
They tried, once. Once text was entered "Dont let the Guristas(?cant remember now?) Finish their research"

the common reply was "screw that. carebears.. FIRE!

This message is aimed AT CCP. Not the usual testicle mesuring adolescent in Nullsec.

I was expecting to lose my deadspace fit comet but really this was a poorly run live event. Too much TiDi, too much confusion, not much happening. Way too much time to invest in losing a ship and say "I was there".


Hopefully there will be better ones.

If you don't like the way communication is handled out in Null Sec then you should probably speak up, maybe it will get better. Kind of like how a lot of us are speaking up about how we are unhappy with the way CCP handled communication during this event.

Hisec doesn't bring players to the game, it's boring and nothing cool/emergent ever happens there. Also you're literally CCP's little favourites, our space costs billions to hold and is actively detrimental to the sanity of the people who maintain the sov, as well as it costing billions in a month. Stop bitching and whining and go back to your missions, or stop being a ***** and come out to nullsec.
