Probably the WORST event I've wasted my time on in my 10 years of EVE ...

Funny there was no TiDi on the paypal unsubscription page.Big smile

I will now use my isk until gone or something changes with the toxic nature of this game companyShocked

edit Giving them a chance to put this right.
I am making no further comments in reply for the moment
A request has been made for CCP to explain their companies position on this, We can all make our decision as to whether to continue financing them based on their response.

There is sufficient now for them to realise the magnitude of this issue.

There is one EvE. Many people. Many lifestyles. WE are EvE

I for one was smart enough to realize what a cluster this was going to be 4 jumps from meves.

I for one knew what would happen, but it just seems that most(and even I feel to a certain degree) that CCP screwed over the high sec player base. I've been to plenty of null, but the sacrificial lamb thing here is wrong, and CCP does need to address it.

BTW highseccers, if you want a form of revenge, don't fleet up and take on the 0.0 organized blocks.

Make a character that has cov ops skills. Fly it deep into 0.0 as best you can. Move around, go to systems with a few people, log off, log on, make their miners log off, and them have to hunt you down. Keep moving. That way you will learn skills to move and live in 0.0, and occasionally have a little fun.

From experience, that was the one thing I did hate the most. Now imagine 3-400 new cov ops pilots doing that. Shocked

CCP, apologize now. From one of your older(and wiser) characters.

I for one made it past the 3 gate camps, and actually made it to the target. I was insta-popped not by organized capsuleers but NPC actors. I lost my ship to OP PVE...
After surviving the gauntlet to be let down by cheap NPCs has nothing to do with null sec, or anything other than the poor execution of CCP in this "Live Event". So hence forth I am no longer interested in wasting my time for something I can do in much less time running an incursion HQ site in a rookie ship.
Yes I had fun actually surviving the gankfest in Doril and the following systems but in the end much disappointment.
WTF I didnt even get killed by a real person Shocked so I cannot even have my tears collected for F***s sake.

I have done everything this game has to offer null, WH, Missions, mining, exploration, so Live events not worth the effort or time.

Dear High Sec Newbs
You play a game like Eve, and do not expect fuckery to happen? You wander into null sec, and expect no one to come for you? Particularly when surrounded by CFC space? What did you think would happen? PONIES AND RAINBOWS? You guys need to come to understand the true sandboxie nature of Eve online. You need to understand that no where in new eden is safe, and there will always be IMMENENT FUCKERY around every corner.

For now, I have a special message for you from our CCP overlords:

This post shares all the other null sec pilots who post the same garbage... Ignorance.

There is nothing in any of the "Whining" about how "boohoo null sec pilots ruined my life by being organized and killed all the pilots uneducated enough to hold their cloak at the gate until their whole fleet finished entering system." The major issue with this live event is that there was some major issues with communication from CCP and major issues with organization from CCP, so save your incompetence for other forum boards where people are actually crying you managed to kill their one ship with your 100 man blob.

Really ISD and CCP 35 pages of Empire Tears and this thread isn't locked yet? Itsgetting really redundant....


Just for balance, How would you feel about no communications, being dropped into a high level incursion in groups of 3 where you didn't know the other 2 and had a FC who was trying his hardest to get you killed ? And it took you over an hour of TiDi hell to get there?


Id get over it, and learn from it. Besides you werent DROPPED into anything, you chose to go.



Oh pray tell might warrior,What would you learn from that lesson.

Bear in mind that CCP have shown they find awoxing their own player base fun.
Feel safe now?
Wonder what they will do to you?
Here's a thought.

Edit:- round and round we go.

Trying to talk sense to these people is like having a piece of paper with please Turn over on both sides.


What lesson would I learn? How about not going next time, they didnt put a gun to your head and say jump into null sec...you made the choice, so live with it or dont.

No one was trying to organise 1000+ players in 2 locations during an high intensity in game event during the ddos saga. It was 100% impossible to issue in game news of the problem for obvious reasons.

What exactly would hinder the distribution of in game news, ingame, during a live event and/or its lead up?

ultimately it means nothing as i was in bed asleep but i cant really justify sitting back watching some ppl argue that the eve online twitter account is a highly accessable and obvious source ofr accurate uptodate and flowing live event intell/organisation.

I mean.. what is the eve online twitter account, i dont even know. How many of these forum ppl could honestly accurately say exactly what it is right here, right now? like 2% and how many eve players dont even use the forums? twitter for live event control/organising.. thats a farce


You still fail to see the point of putting it on twitter dont you? If CCP gave the information out through a means of something like twitter which by your own accounts is a source for few eve players to use. The flow of information then becomes delayed. Let me put it in a way you can understand.

If you are in a room full of 100 people and the only way out is one doorway, on the other side of that door is say tons of money free. The person who planted it tells one person and instructs them to tell another and another...slowly people trickle toward the exit. However, if you stand up in the middle of the room and scream free money in the hall outside the door...100 people will try to force their way through one doorway.

Just the same, if CCP had sent the message ingame in Sarum local to move to ihal...1200 people would all be moving at the same ******* time triggering tidi in every system they went through for 23 jumps. However, by releasing it to twitter and a small group of viewers, it allowed some to trickle out, once enroute, they forward the message to another group and so on and so forth. Only it didnt work as intended because a bunch of idiots decided to post in sarum local AND the events channel the twitter link and the message...at which point what remaining people decided to ALL move at once. Guess what happened? ******* TiDi for 23 jumps. Disclosing of information to move a mass of people needs to be slowly distributed, posting it on twitter was supposed to do that. Had no one said it in every ******* channel it would have worked too. Alas the human notion is to spread rumors as we hear them.

I would just like to be the first to thank CCP for this chance to experience the lesser spotted "Threadnaught tear posting epidemic", and for the awesome fun in 8V-SJJ that created it. I would like to complain that I was not give free popcorn :D

I'm starting to side with the hisec side of things really, if more of them made it to 8V- we'd have more to shoot.

Such crude language from one so young.

Your mom will be most displeased with you if she reads your post.

It bears repeating that folk are not complaining about being ganked, but about the incompetence of CCP at leading a 'live' i.e.'dead' event.

Those weren't NPCs, those were actual characters made by CCP and with someone controlling them. On 8V- side they were also flying vindicators, and FYI a vindi up close hurts like being hit by a truck.

A truck speeding on a highway, with nitro on.

I think the other side faced Machs, which aren't really that much of an improvement when it comes to being on the receiving end. And those things weren't even faction fit :)

Basic summary of this thread:

Post One: No-one cares about dieing - but this event sux big time as after two hours of TIDI the event finished before we even got into null.

Reply to Post One: haha we are awesome stop complaining about dieing.

So basically, while CCP fleet leaders were abandoning players in Doril, a bunch more CCP employee were actually manning Vindicator's fighting for fun in the actual systems where the events were taking place......

Just wanted to confirm that.
