Next time the Empires call for help. There is going to be much less support from the Capsuleer.

At first I was upset that CCP once again chose to screw over every USTZ adult who has a job.

But now, boy am I happy I didn't take time out of my day to sit in tidi waiting to be wiped out by 700-man gate camps.

Fail CCP. Fail. Bad. Bad CCP. bad Sad

I want to preface this post with the fact the I appreciate the live events team for all their efforts.

Why? All of the good content in the game is created by the players. All of these live events are flops.

They didn't need prior warning, since they were already right on top of the destination:-) The nullsec formup was in Utopia, right next to the target system. The highsec formup was 20 jumps away (ie two hours in the tidi). Thus, the pirate side inevitably formed up into a huge bubble camp, which the CCP-directed fleet then suicided into.

The "event" itself in RMOC was only about 100-150 people (mainly darkside and the initiative), with the rest just looting.

We blopsed past the lowsecs/nulls, but even then the event was already over, it had taken so long to travel in the tidi.

I am curious if CCP is aware of how incredibly frustrated the vast majority of participants are in the fact they never actually got to participate in any form of event. This showed a complete lack of planning(or was it) in having almost 2000 players or more(just from the amarr region perspective) travelling 17/23 jumps under 10% tidi to face gatecamps and secondary rerouting to the main area which the"actual event" was over well before the vast majority of players had even had time to travel said jumps .

While most of these live events understandably face unforeseen circumstances mainly caused by player actions...CCP has had 10 years to know what the hell we are gonna do with it when given the opportunity.

If you are gonna hold these types of events in the future please ensure the people that show up can at least feel like they contributed something other than a giant conga line thru empire at ridiculously slow speeds.

I enjoyed the fast response from the resident yarr! and alliances that chose to face us and yes i lost a ship but was reshipped in less tha3 mins thx to slow warps during tidi allowing me to purchase an entire fit and have time for bio/smoke during a one sys warp.

The real fail lies solely in the hands of CCP right now....remember....WE are the game

It was a total fail from CCP, they should be ashamed not knowing how to play their own game, 2k fleet being wiped out by 500 men is purely a shame.

They left before the battleships had time to get to Ihal, I couldnt believe my own eyes when I saw that! How dumb it was to accept leaving without the whole. 10% tidi was so lame.

Because of this? Well, if you're planning to quit because of this, then what you should do is continue to play while breaking every rule in CCP's TOS. That way it will cost them money and you will have your revenge. Getting banned eventually shouldn't be a problem, since you were going to quit anyway.

Yet again another post of a dreamer expecting to be delivered to the promised land of golds and lulz by CCP..

God wake up man.. Its like 10 years and they still not even have the ability to realized the reactions of their miscalculated actions..

How many proof you need before you stop dreaming? Somer thing, R20, Ishukone gifting etc etc... I mean I am really amazed to seet there are still people that expecting CCP to realize their faults..

Because they wont. This is a social experiment for them and one way or other they will fit you empire people in it and they will slipped away from it. They do it either by let you killed by nullsec people like throwing woods to the already started fire or any other way and they get slipped from that.. With the excuses like " we stop live events until we find a middlegroud" kind of crap.

I do like them for this game but really, expecting them to realize the mistakes they made is a bit naive...

So Trusting a CCP FC when he said "ahoy boys lets go null and kill serpentis safely for ze empire!" should be that kind of naiveness..

Nullsec got its killmails, CCP will sell PLEX so lost ships can be replaced and Highsec got to learn an important lesson.

We actually got word later than others, most people that made it in were flash-formups of people who live/stage close by.

I can say though, fun event on CCP's side. We got to shoot ISD, fun people (gf Brave Newbies thorax fleet!) and a smattering of hisec sheeple that didn't realize having your own FC that actually can coordinate things may just help you win.

It was a f-ing slaughter but I couldn't care less.

Banter was good and I died in a glorious ball of flames. That is all I wanted from an event, to have fun, chat to folks and make some new friends and to explode valiantly.

SANDBOX! what do you not understand about that


The part where the all powerful omni-potent rulers of the sandbox let down a huge part of the players in that sandbox.

We're not upset about the people who decide "we'd rather blow up the live event people then help them" that's called living in a sandbox. It's when the people who you pay real world money (aka NOT sandbox money) tell you that they will be doing something fun in the sandbox and would like you to come along then **** you over that's when you get upset.

How right you were.

Protect me from knowing what I don't need to know. Protect me from even knowing that there are things to know that I don't know. Protect me from knowing that I decided not to know about the things that I decided not to know about. Amen.

I couldn't help but LOL after what happened..



I love all the butt-hurt highsec guys running around crying about going into nullsec and getting killed.

You were told before hand you would probably die.. you went anyway and died.. now you're all mad about it.

Typical highsec thought process..

People who live in highsec live there because they are risk-adverse, CCP should have known that taking them to nullsec EVEN IF THEY WARNED THEM FIRST would turn out bad.. It's just the entitlement attitude of highsec players. They think they should be entitled to a safe game experience because they live in highsec.

FC, what do?

Hi sec is where you play the game. Outside of that, you're playing the players. A lot of players mistake that for playing the game. It's a very personal decision which one you want to do, and they're both very valid ways to play.
