Live Events Discussion

Hey I don't live in null anymore. I'm a carebear just like you (from what you say below).

But why do you expect people to play their game differently than the way they use to play it? As someone mentioned, "welcome to our tuesday evening" - there was nothing special about a blob getting into their turf. It's everyday's job, so like everyday they set up and defended their territory. The exceptional thing is that they had hours of advance warning while we were trying to figure out what the heck we were doing.



The nullsec alliances weren't there to show anyone anything. They were there to protect their territory, simple as that. You trespass into CFC area, you get a fight. Maybe you die, maybe you get out with your pod/ship/fleet. But you get a fight, that's for sure (well, mostly). The other alliances are just the same.

It was CCP who was there to show us something - I assumed. Only they did not. Well, not to us stragglers who never managed to quite reach the event, at least. Why should razor, or PL, or whomever else, be held accountable for this?

The issue is not the null seccers, The issue is that it was not 'stragglers' who failed to reach the event. I don't believe a single high sec fleet made it to the event. Most of them not because of enemy action but because CCP started the Null event an hour before most fleets finally made it through TiDi to the target systems. The fleet I was in made it to 8V intact (Though we lost maybe 1/3rd of our numbers when CCP declared the event over). But the event was declared officially ended by CCP while we were 5 jumps out. And CCP started the event before we had even cleared high sec.
This despite the fact that we were moving as fast as we could without splitting the fleet up.

Well I guess im totally wrong in judging people then, if you see that CCP failed in organizing event they planed, and you have the power to fix that - why the hell not.

Alliances were defending theyr territory? from who? highsec players, who know nothing about null mechanics and how this is working? and according to the posters before me - even cannot set overview properly? srsly, make up your mind, are you afraid or not? coz one half is saing that highs can't do anything and will be spanked anywhere anytime, but others are afraid about letting highs organize and at least clump up.

I do agree. Even if its OK to have main gathering point away from where event will actually take place, you should have thought a way how to transport everybody from there to here within reasanoble time and not ending event before everyone actually hit the place. and ye doril gate was so heavilly and well camped, that gate jump mechanics made it really nearly impossible to jump trough, those luckers who got trough - were misstakes, made by target callers, node itself, whatever. in abstract space, there were 0 cahnces to get trough.

So, since CCP failed, you expect your fellow players to give up THEIR fun (and ISK) in a PVP game so that you can have yours.
Doesn't that strike you as a bit pretentious?



Lol. As I told you, I'm not a nullsec dweller.
Yet if I were, I would've been at the borders shooting fish in the barrel.

I'm not saying a blob can take up sov and make an alliance run screaming. But face a 1000 pilots blob and be sure you'll lose some ships - it's inevitable, the firepower is simply too much.

So, are you willing to sacrifice your ship for no reason at all? Just to make someone else happy?
If you are, then you should be happy because that's EXACTLY what you did at the event. Glad you enjoyed it.
If you are not, then why are you asking someone else to risk their ships to make you have fun?

We have no faith. In the game. But for selfish reasons, I would expect CCP to make an appealing "event". That failed. Totally. All faith lost (what would remain). Do you heare me: Marianne?!

My experience in flying trough null has thought me otherwise. Whenever I wander through our null static, all the Uber powerful tear harvesting chest beating Kings of Null-sec either dock up, or flee through the nearest gate. You lot are afraid all right, of a single WH player in a lonely Legion. And most of the times I'm the one laughing all the way to the bank after plundering your riches in your backwater systems.

Of course I don't play this game by your rules and your standards, why don't you play by mine?


Please don't misunderstand, it was a question, not a statement you have to. Because I would be a fool to tell another EvE player how to play this game. The strength of this game comes at least partially from the myriad ways to play it. In other words, there is no right or wrong way.
And judging by more than a few posts, the nullseccers had their fun last night because the highseccers play the way they do. So don't judge and belittle, but give a pad on the back and say 'hey dudes, thanks for the fun and the padding of our kill boards'....


Edit: I see now that I made the mistake of viewing your statement as being made from a null perspective, my apologies. But apart from that, my opinion on null still stands. EN.

gave up after 16 jumps, **** this **** for a "unlive" event, at least ccp SHOULD have talked been there or something, but guesses they don't care about the players 1st and last event EVER

I kinda feel bad for CCP now, but that is really funny!

If any CCP guy does read this, I'll just say one thing. Instead of raging, let me offer this one piece of advice. Consider briefing the CSM on your plans before you implement them next time, just like you do with most game changes and devblogs. This game is, as you know, hard to get right unless you have a lot of experience. Any one of the CSM members could have predicted all the things that were going to go wrong with this live event and how the players would react. It's a simple thing that will save you from all these unintended consequences next time.
