Live Events Discussion

Have I mentioned :popcorn: ?

if we had more to Blow up it vould have been better

I am sorry I tend to find it hard to dumb down things enough for some people to understand.
What I was trying to say in an answer to your question was that the "Live Event" should have had even NPC's on both Empire and Pirate factions, and the event was held in an area where both null and empire can meet on the same footings, (this would be lowsec.) things would have ended much different than they did. But this alternative would have you "ebil piwates" crying so i guess there is no winning.

And for the record I am not a "carebear" I am in hisec because I do not have the luxury of time it requires to be in null.

what fun would it be without the piercing comments to start things off?

I did not know the trap was set - as someone mentioned I don't remember where the staging systems are and I'm mostly ignorant of the geography of nullsec. It is something that I never had to concern myself with.

I was not expecting such a gankfest, although it did not surprise me once I realized it was there. I had not seen ALL the information on the community site - I actually thought all info would come together, but I'm not mentioning that because THAT was my fault.

But to tell people to go to meves and later to stacmon and later to 8V-SJJ.... that wasn't my decision.
To tell people at the latest possible time where they would go wasn't my decision.
To provide no meaning of fast transportation - while knowing the nullsec alliances DO have them, that wasn't my decision.
My decision was to follow along to see if I cold see anything unusual or pretty before I got killed. As mentioned, I don't icare about the ship or my pod - thoguh i got that home (barely). To lose two hours like this is just annoying.

I followed along convinced that I would die horribly in an event. In fact I died horribly at a losec gatecamp - and as I said many pages ago, I can do that myself without tidi, 2000 players, and CCP intervention.



Trii-Seo, this sounds like the "supermario is a RPG" discussion we had with someone else. The fact there's a storyline involved doesn't make it "RP" - in fact, to not have this event would've been exactly the same from the story perspective.

This was advertised as a big push from the empire navies into "pirate faction" space, a one shot call to all capsuleers to join in the effort. I haven't seen the empire navies, and if all they could muster is 20 bships then we should be removing them from the game and get it over with - we had 2000 capsuleers and 40 empire ships?

40 empire ships that we mostly did not see, since they were already at the target while we were merry-go-lucky through half the galaxy. Wanna drop me in a death-trap? I'll play along, if you deliver what you promised me - something unusual to see, some epic battle.
To die in an epic battle is something. To die in a gatecamp can be done without flying 23 jumps in tidi.

If CCP wanted to show the weakness of the empires, have it the other way around. Let the lo/null people come to hisec and show all players the inability of the empires to repel them. The disorganized forces have the chance to stay together and the alliances will get here at the same time anyway cuz they know how to do it.
Gankfest extraordinnaire, hisec people get killed, concord gets killed, killboards get stuffed, and everyone gets home happy. I bet most of the players who complained here would have agreed to this.

After all, if 40 ships is the combined force of all empire's navy, any capsuleer with half a brain and a HAC could take on and destroy any single empire, anytime, and with no risk whatsoever.

It's not spelling or grammar, it's your understanding that is flawed. You read whatever the heck you wanted to read.

You're wrong. Deal with it.

Now this is the first intelligent thing said by the opposing side.

on the other hand the main issue of this post was the event in all, and since i did all the things of the nullsec player save the reshipping I dont see anything wrong with EVE itself just the live event.

Thats not very nice Asbjrn

Now that would have made a much better event. make concord unable to mobilize, and have the null alliances come to hi sec and slaughter or try to slaughter the empires. no gate camps just pure war. I dont think anyone can argue with this.

We love the idea.
