Live Events Discussion

About the waiting

Don't forget we are also waiting almost a year for a single new live event (the last one was right before summer expansion last year; no sane person can count that ~event thing~ with Ghost Sites).

I understand resources are limited in lore team and we all appreciate the new lore book, but there has to be something done to kick up the lore machine again; in the past we had dozens of artworks, chronicles and other stuff for each expansion and expansion feature site was always about the lore in the background; I knew what's going on in New Eden, I knew why is something happening.

Now we have expansions with random names (Inferno, Retribution, Odyssey) with no lore background at all. Yes, thank god at least for the Ghost Sites theme for the current expansion. I also like the record number of submitted 'World News' last year, this is something that keeps me from shooting Jita 4/4 monument and starting riots.

I understand that ever since Incarna lore focus is limited and we all understand why, but it's going to be three years now and its time to do things again. I don't have to remind anyone, I hope, that lore is a crucial part of any game and without it we are going to play literally Excel in space.

About collectors

I would like to slap all those ~collectors~ who are grumpy about not getting a chance to have the future Ribbons because they were stuck at the other gate and couldn't get in; yes I blame you all for not logging in earlier and I care do not at all about any of your reasons why you couldn't log earlier and be ready for the event. Just like in real world, some events are one-time, one-place and so the awards will be exactly like that. Deal with it.

Demanding to change the delivery system of Ribbons just so you could have a chance to buy one for your ~unique~ collection is a hilarious demand and speaks loudly and clearly what kind of collectors you actually are. And also the reason I slap you and don't count you as proper collectors.

In any case, as said above, the waiting times are not just because it's hard to make those Ribbons technically, the whole lore machine is lagging at best in general. And for the Bruce almighty I hope I at least a bit helped with my rant here to kick some things off.

Peace out.

The Battle of Caldari Prime anniversary kicked ass! Thank you New Eden Radio for backing us up, to everyone who contributed, and to all our prize winners!

Now, let's see if we can't get Falcon or Logibro to hang out in the Live Events chat channel on a more regular basis!

As for the medals, we can be patient, given that CCP is giving us alot of new cool stuff. :P

If CCP needs design ideas, I'm willing to offer some up when asked.

I wonder if this is still going to happen...

The linkable items in game will probably end up being removed, and these are not the ones that we'd end up handing out.

There were calls for us to give out rewards as a decoration in the showinfo decorations tab, and this was investigated.

Right now, with EVE: Source, EVE: True Stories, and a whole host of other things ongoing and keeping everyone who was involved with live events busy (yes, this has been the case for a solid year), we don't have the bandwidth to complete this, and it's considered low priority, as has been stated previously on a few occasions.

When we have the bandwidth, these will be issued.

I hope I'll be getting a Luminaire Lord of War decoration .

We await CCP to allocate the proper bandwidth. Priority is bringing the new ships and all the freighter, manufacturing, industry, and research changes online.

It loses it's meaning the longer it takes to get it done..

It should have been right away.. or worst case, at the 1 year anniversary.. It's getting the to the point where when it does happen, no one will care and only a few will even remember. I'd be interested to know how many people there aren't even subbed anymore..

I, for one, want a time.. something set in stone for it to get done.. I mean on page Two we were told JUST after Odyssey was released.. That's almost a year ago now. Followed by the statement that we would see it in June. No not THIS June, the previous one.

You can see where it gets annoying.
B-R got their monument within a week of that happening, when it was still fresh in the minds of people and meant something. Even among the people I flew with when I was there, most don't even think they will ever get anything.. others don't even remember it anymore..

It's all but lost it's meaning.

I'm starting to forget whether I was there or not, so I don't know whether to get outraged if I don't get a ribbon when it eventually happens.

I think you're being a little bit too strict. Well they weren't exactly lore specific, they were referencing what was happening in the game quite strongly. Chief amoung them is Rubicon. I think the name was very well chosen. Same with the upcoming titan names. Kronos, the youngest but also the one who overthrew his father.

In short the names of the expansions are still cleverly referencing the ongoing storyline.

Hopefully, with the regular update packs coming monthly for the remainder of the year, we can get some bandwidth space cut to us...
