Nah Concord will leave them alone. and Empire ships.. are meah.

There's a lot to like about Eve, but I think your version of Eve is terrible.

Some things puzzle me;

Why do people play Eve in massive TiDi? Do you play racing games on a ZX81? Do you stick PVA glue to your chessboard? No. It's a terrible game experience.

Given that, why did CCP lead a lot of pilots (oblivious to both the danger, and how their game doesn't scale) into RZR staging? This is akin to going to bed with CCP for the first time, for them to wink in the morning and say "hey, check out my genital warts". You wanna go there again?

Who did this help? I was out, but it seems the hisec ppl got a terrible game experience even if they enjoyed the eventual explosions, the nullsec ppl got a game experience akin to playing Call of Duty, sniping noobs with a thermal scope down a corridor at one frame per second with a modded controller.

I understand some people dig schadenfreude, indeed some poor souls claim this is the main enjoyment they get from Eve. But how many hiseccers would want to be on the other end of that camp after that thrilling demonstration?

If they wanted to go to null they would be there already. WTF CCP, how is this increasing your playerbase?

I just want to know what the actual event was... I had a clean clone and a cheap Drake, no harm no foul for me I'm just sad that I still don't know why I spent all day warping around only to die in a gate-camp I could have avoided.

Good job to the null guys on the camp! You guys did a great job!

EA comes to mind.

all I can say is WoWP launches next week

Empire/Highsec people........... Welcome to the life of Nullsec. You guys strut around smug and whatnot in lowsec and null under conditions of a live event and expect that there is 0% risk involved of losing your ship and pod and expect that there will be no time dilation?

Sorry, you are an Idiot. A prove that your recruting officer was right, that you are smart enough for F1 pvp and would do this monkey job easily.

The Nullsecs were organized, because they are attuned to be organized.
The Highsec Corps and Alliances are smaller, there are no coalitions.
If you are either from CCP or an 0.0 alliance and don't recognize this difference, you should quit this game.

If CCP would have done that right, they would have said.
"This is a PVP event, please use PvP ships, we are to lazy to organize FC teams, please organise. You have 24 hours".
And I guess we would have seen some shining moments of the Eve Community.
FW FCs, retired FCs, junior FCs stepping up and organising.
And when I see those numbers of the Highsecis, even without streamlined fitting, that would have been a blast of an fight.
Such a clash would have been an epic moment. Worth telling, worth fighting, for both sides. Bringing pilots into PvP, giving them fun.
This was poop **** pvp. (and I was in one of the organised fleets)


I cannot blame the Highsecis for the underinformativ posting for this event from CCP.
Every drunken gank night fc I ever travelled with, gave better pre-organisation and execution.

I was in the carebear fleet... Worst fleet I have ever been in. You all were given the opportunity to bail before we jumped into the camp its not like no one knew it was there. No one calling targets, no logi, kitchen sink fleet including shuttles.
The event was a disaster but I still had fun what did you all think was going to happen lol. Learn to burn outa bubbles faster!
The major screw up was ccp changing staging systems we went from 1300 to 800 when we left. But hey I made it there got a few shots off at the structure.
GF RZR :)

The NPC FCs were playing in character very well, i.e. Empire navy commanders who don't give a crap about the capsuleers following their instructions.

As I said in another thread on this if you lost your ship to a gatecamp it is entirely your fault, not the CCP FC. Would you fly a battleship through the Doril gate on any other day without scouting it out? If so come back tomorrow, there will be plenty of people waiting there to say hi.

The NPC FC gave instructions as to the destination. How you flew there was up to you. Taking the shortest path through Low/Null sec, from High sec, without scouting it out was stupid regardless of what the NPC said to do. If you plan to fly through these sort of systems at least use a cloaky ship otherwise go around or go in co-ordinated and prepared.

If you are going to completely entrust the safety of your ship and pod to a stranger in local chat, NPC Actor or not, who is telling you to jump into a Low/Null sec system then you deserve to lose it. I flew in a stealth bomber because I expected camps and trouble and I was able to fly through four of them without incident. Many other players flew around the camps to the destination systems.

All this event shows is that most EVE players need someone else to micromanage them and tell them how to think and act, otherwise they just fly to their deaths like a bunch of drunken lemmings.

Yep shows I'm a loser and worthless. but then why would I care.
