Live Events Discussion

I read 'Go to Stacmon', then 'Go to Lhal'.

Afterwards the goal was to go to the zoo, and not just any part of the zoo, freak show central. I couldn't wrap my head around why anyone would actually want to do this or in that fashion.

I smelled a big rat but I would have taken the bait, anything for a weird life, if it hadn't been for the 10% TiDi that made the warp to gate take between 2 to 3 minutes, sans alignment, sans jumping through.

I didn't feel like getting my ass handed to me in slow motion after spending at least an hour paddling through the molasses and so I docked up.

One of my better decisions this year.

I'm sure those high-sec dwellers who normally lose 1-5bill worth pirate battleships were very impressed with "sudden" loss (live events = popping) of their expendable fleet issue / t3 ships and surely they will run into warm embraces of null and low alliances who offer high taxes, LP-only missions, hours-long roams in TiDi and all other sorts of time-sinks.

For me this event was totally successful: it confirmed my idea how CCP is falling apart since Incarna and cannot offer anything new.

Lipbite, wow, someone else who's never been to null sec, opining on it nonetheless.

Not only is pretty much every assertion you made utterly incorrect, but it's telling that it's pretty much about PvE.

Care bears do not normally lose ships in high sec. In fact it's so uncommon as to set off a new whine thread when it does happen. It's so uncommon that PvE is reduced to 3rd party websites that tell you every damage to tank, deal, spawn triggers....and of course how high sec needs to be totally safe.
In contrast, we fly entire fleets of expensive ships, fully expecting losses. Losing a billion isk boosting Tengu is just a risk we take with every fleet. One good pipebombing could wipe out more isk in a single fleet than entire high sec alliances have in their wallets.

I live in null sec and haven't run an LP mission since I was a newb in high sec. Sov null, of course, doesn't have agents in our stations, so once again, completely incorrect assumptions. Must have never been there.

We pay the same tax as NPC corps/POCO's- but I also get my ships moved by carrier for free, anything I manufacture moved to high sec markets by jump freighter (I cant fly them, so it's a favor for someone else to do it) for free, entire fitted ships in a corp hangar, free skillbooks, an SRP so flying PvP is for all intents and purposes- free to me. By no means have I ever contributed to my alliance as much as I've received in support from them.

TiDi is a local event, and a roam would not spend long in it unless actively in a fight. Once again, this seems like something you don't actually have any experience with.

Spreading false information as an excuse for your own choices in gameplay doesn't do anyone a service. You are demonstrably wrong in virtually every claim you make. I only hope new players don't end up actually believing your nonsense.

As someone who was in from the start of it on the pain-dealing side, it was fun. Massive amounts of fun.

CCP led people into a deathtrap, to be quite honest the commanders of faction fleets wouldn't have fc'd for long because they were sent home via the pod highway really quickly. What you've got to realize is, there wasn't a massive blob of CFC forces like those you see during sov timer battles. In fact, last I saw it CFC fleets in 8V- were outnumbered by CONCORD supporting fleets. Our AHAC gang numbered 30, Goons had a tad more but it certainly wasn't in hundreds.

I think the moral of the story is simple: don't trust the CONCORD, don't trust the empires, get your own FCs and form your own fleets.

All things said, we didn't exactly "mess with the event" - we had an objective, prevent the evil popo from destroying the laboratories of our good ol' Serpentis pals. Op was a success on our side.

RP: Empire Navies expand call to action against enemy forces

Considering how the battle went with the post above, that the loss by the Empire factions with empire capsuleer sacrifices was expected/planned.

And If the intention was this, then it's a well-played redirect of rage from CCP to the Empire faction in-game. Also we dont have to talk about the fact that, it definitely feeds the Rubicon theme of " the empires are losing their grasp on power."

TL;DR: You have been used, my friends...

And you died gloriously to us, goat gods are pleased with your flesh nomnom =)

Well, the Republic FC was in a Broadsword that went up in flames rather quickly, killed by Brave Newbies - he was dead before we hit the field. As we did, we found the Gallente FC near us in a Phobos and disposed of him equally quickly - if he was calling targets on comms, he would've stopped quickly.

The pod had Auroras and Slaves in, thing tanked like a total brick though. With enough RR on him he could've tanked us fine.

This is prolly the best thing that i have read on any of these Live event threads. +100000000 to this guy, he is winning EVE and gets it.

I feel that this game has only improved since Incarna, so I don't understand how you can say it is falling apart. The only problem with there event was in was in in the USTZ. Then I could have been there.

made it there, collected some loot, returned to Dodixie in perfect condition

However it does not mean that this event didn't failed hardly

I'm sure every pilot on the null-sec side slow boated to the op and that there was absolutely no involvement of any magic...bridging.
