Live Events Discussion

Confirming Asbjrn is a very bad person.

That said, the announcement from CCP even said that it was likely to be dangerous and that there will be a retaliation.

Plus, we're not a third party. We were there for our serpentis bros. CFC + Serpentis = best friends forever <3

I heard that there were even Blue on Blue encounters from the Pirate Factions to their own supporters so you ain't that tight with them yo!

Hey, shooting someone and loving them isn't exactly mutually exclusive. "My little AHAC: Lasers are Magic".

Also, it's weekend. They're probably not at work atm, we'll hear from them on monday.

All very valid points. Have a great weekend and fly recklessly

i might admit serpentist and me is not so good friends becaus of all the vindicator bluprints i have stolen from them but for that i love them. and becaus of the vindy losses prises vil go up again om my bluprints

in befor thread is closed!

also anyone that thinks they ca disjointedly wonder in to null sec solo regardless of ccp event or not needs a reality check, id be intrested to know how many fleeted up with their corp and their corps FC and attempted to make it there, I did, in a t1 cruiser and got a 3 bill kill on a pod, i have terrible skills but i was in an organised fleet , this is an MMO requireing interaction, nobody flying solo is gonna have fun at an event like this.
So if your used to sitting in your nice safe minning corp/mission running corp, not talking to anyone no this is gonna be terrible, you will attempt to put put over to the system exspecting ccp to keep you safe(it is after all a ccp run event so must be safe) and then your gonna warp in and shoot some red crosses and ........ yeah sorry i have no idea what you thought seriously re evaluate your game play.

CCP this wasnt a spectacular even but an awsome catalist to some of the best fun ive had in game IN A LOOOOONG TIME, thanks

Like the one right above his for a start, or any of the hundreds of others that explain exactly the same thing.

Compared to you sir, I'm a ******* saint!

That said, I think I can see where this will go - CCP will announce the incompetence of fleet commanders as purposeful. The empires are bad for you: they tried to gather your help for a last, desperate push against an enemy they couldn't break themselves. They failed, big time - underestimating the capability and will of nullsec entities to defend their territories. Overestimating their ability to organize attacks.

It's pointless to put artificial borders between "roleplay event" and actual history that happened. It wasn't a bunch of griefers ruining an event for their sick amusement. Sure, rear ends of many people met the boot at muzzle velocity that night but... likely many of those who administered the smacking were on the receiving end many, many times.

A lot of that wasn't fair either - bombed off the field because FC didn't pay attention, slam into a bubble and get pipebombed without a chance to fight back, it's how things go. You trust a commander to lead you to victory and safety and sometimes he fails. So don't scream at CCP about not making this a themepark ride but an uphill walk in snow. Look at it from the perspective of history that was made that day. Victory or loss don't matter - it's all about fun.

There won't be another day like this. Whatever side you were on, you participated in a unique event that won't repeat itself. You helped shape the lore of the world while playing the game. The only people who really lost weren't those who died or didn't make it to the staging system - they were those who quit or didn't attend.

Think how awesome the fact is that you supported the faction you liked against the odds, struggling to reach the target against incompetence of your leaders and lack of information. If CCP intended to get you all there in one piece, they'd have teleported people or spawned an NPC titan with infinite stront and fuel to bridge everyone easily. They chose not to.

(Also dear CCP can we get "I supported the Serpentis... AND THEN - BETRAYAL!" t-shirts? Or at least something to commemorate the outcome of the event.)

To be honest, if you even burned towards the destination trying to avoid the pirates and stop the Serpentis you were there.

While I appreciate what you are saying from an IG perspective the fact of the matter is that this didn't just affect IG Characters this affected real people in their real lives. Yes, "EVE is real" and all that but you know as well as I do that this was a disaster.

I personally put in time of work due to CCP's propaganda regarding this event. That was my choice, correct, and had it been the event it was advertised to be for all involved then I would as previously stated been bragging to all and sundry of how awesome EVE Online is and that I was there I was part of something that took EVE forward (pre-determined outcome assured) and that I had fun doing it.

Instead of the above, my Corp Mate logged for the night, I spent 4 hours in TiDi hell and I was docked in Sarum Prime the night before so it wasn't even getting to the 1st staging system where my TiDi hell started. En-route info was filtered through from the 3 channels we had open "Intergalatic Summit", "Live Events" and "The Summit" along with Local, Fleet etc and OFC Twitter. 3 jumps out from Shedoo and it was all over according to the channels of which nothing much was being pushed through.

So while I appreciate that IG lore and the propaganda machine will spin this fantastically it makes no matter to the fact that CCP abused it's player base of paying customers for what would appear to be 'Office Entertainment' and failed to deliver a LIVE Event and the preparation required to host it. Therefore it should apologise to those people who did attend to try and add content and that changed their actual lives to enable this.

EDIT:

Oh and I was burning as fast as possible under 10% TiDi in a Drake with my fleet strung out over 4/5 systems I believe from around 1900hrs. Didn't even get to our RV in Shedoo to form up and head in before it was declared over.
