See what really happened was: Capsuleers are getting cocky and the empires are getting sick of it, especially of the High Sec capsuleers who run around in empire space all day.

So they arranged this *event* where they told all these High Sec capsuleers that theyd be fighting an important target and *theyd be right behind them*. When in reality they were just deporting the capsuleers back to Null Sec, space they concider capsuleer space and then left them to die.


And die they did.

Okay, in fairness, as funny as this is (and it is really, really funny, I mean it is just unbelievably funny), CCP did kind of screw you guys over. I just don't think it was intentional. I think the CCP Director of LARPs or whatever is just that clueless.

You know all those times when nullsec players complain about something dumb that CCP has done to them and you're all like, "Goon tears!" or "Nullbear tears!" or whatever? Yeah.



Yeah it is kind of funny even from my perspective - died in Doril with everyone - and indeed sending us through RAZOR staging system wasn't a great idea.
However it was fun and i hope everyone that was there even the gatecampers shooting at us in 10% tidi had fun as well, enjoy the killmails i guess.

Well, it's kind of amazing because that whole area, not just Doril, is basically a minefield of staging systems and hot drops waiting to happen. In fact, the icing on the cake would have been PL or BL dropping on the whole shebang. You'd have probably been safer if they'd led you straight up into Deklein. Poor Harry Forever would have fallen right out of his chair.

People are arguing about whether this was supposed to be a PvE or PvP event but I do think it's fair to say that most of the participants were expecting more or less a LARP. Maybe players would fight, but there would be some semi-scripted, semi-controlled aspect of it. So either CCP tricked you or they were clueless about it themselves. Neither one looks very good, really. It's like the LARP master, or LARP runner guy, or whatever they're called, thought it would be really cool and "authentic" to lead your LARPing group into a really bad part of town at night, then booked it out of there once the muggings started.

On the other hand, you did learn a bit about null and a bit about CCP! Cool

You talking to one of the players who doesn't react like that when they screw you nulls over. I am not for one a HS carebear lol I would just rather have a constructive convo on the subject rather than people making one line comments that add nothing but make themselves look foolish. (not pointing at yourself :) )

We need to get more players joining the game to get fresh blood who hopefully with join W.H corps or LS/NULL Corps. All this does is send them running to the hills or cancelling. How many of those hs players who actually thought their might be some form of balance in their first L.S adventure with CCP support will ever come back?

If you kick a puppy and steel its food that puppy isn't going to comeback when its a wolf. Watching CCP sending un-experiences players in to that mess was quite frankly very disturbing. They may as well have had Concord pop them in H.S for as much as they learnt about PVP.

On that note they have gone deadly silent.

Gosh, if only there was a way to see how many ships were being destroyed on the route from High to Low to Null.

I watched you all jump blindly to your deaths. Silly buggers.

Ok just took part of the event. This simply put was a set up by CCP to hand kills to lowsec!

How did RAZOR get set up that quickly of it wasn't for time dilation allowing then nearly an hour get get their ahead of the dilated systems! Our fleet jumped in to what was simply put... a set up. Was this CCP's present to RAZOR ? perhaps all the goons complaining about "carebears" was too much and the Dev's gave in?

I love PVP, i love the game. But this set up is utterly unacceptable!

Its this sort of **** that makes people stop playing Eve. CCP you should be ashamed of yourself.



Idiot...


You bring so much to the conversation , Thanks for your input :)


Intel is everywhere, We knew where the camps were, We knew how to avoid them, We got into Target system and had a Blast.

The Actual event was rubbish, but the Fighting was Awesome!

I was the one in the lead fleet getting killed in the first wave so pretty hard to watch myself get killed prior to being killed lol. The instant we knew what was happening we organized the rest of the fleets to pull out. By then due to the Dev's command of the fleet to jump it was too late for 400+ pilots.

Nobody is blaming Razor. In their position I'd have done the same thing. I'm happy for them!

I think the point everyone here is missing is that the CCP Dev who was leading the event instructed everyone to jump in to Doril. More than once he insisted, "Everyone Jump!" and "Jump! Jump!" and kept insisting people go in.

Of course, this being in a unique in-game event where nobody knows what to expect (and in-fact it is stated that our goal is mysterious and unknown) why wouldn't we follow the event leaders instructions? We had already followed him from Ihal to Doril. We were participating in an event he was leading.

The fact that CCP lead everyone to their doom is so outrageous. This was a disaster on a cosmic level in the gaming world. I've never even heard of anything like this happening.

Sounds like there is a new player in town: CCP Pied Piper.
