Sooo, player fleet will not be able to hold logi on field b/c all their logi will get flagged suspect and killed by all the drooling bears who are afraid to engage something that can shoot back...

Way.
To.
Go.

Let player logi participate for once.

I mean, neat event attempt, but there needs to be some sort of support for the player fleet (logi) in the HS systems or there will be no kills of any capital that is in a dev fleet. Since none of the players will be getting reps.


huh?

why would logi go suspect?

2 are we fighting players or npc''s

3 is this a fleet thing or can i fly around solo and shoot stuff

4 i'm going to die alot are'nt i

thats all at the moment just need to be close to where it will be happening to set jump clone and parts , ships and anything else i need and i take it utc is eve time?

Highsec will be against NPCs unless they set everyone suspect again (please!). If you want PvP, come to the lowsec one in a clean clone (no expensive implants) and just shoot whoever you want. Educate yourself about gate guns and aggression mechanics.

Or join RvB in the interim.

Thank you for providing a broad schedule which incorporates multiple time zones. Hopefully in the future we can expand it further between 00:00 - 12:00 hrs to better service the Australia and Eastern Asia regions. :)

Can I just suggest that you not broadcast the system names at all?

We already know what time they are appearing and that it's going to be somewhere in Caldari Low/High. If it required some degree of actual, you know, hunting, that would be fantastic. And maybe you could avoid the instant 10% TiDi as far as 5 systems out that most recent live events have involved (not to mention being locked out of the event system when you actually reach it.



I actually agree with this comment, make it more fun , don't name the System !!

Assuming they use NPC actors, the aggression mechanics make Logi go suspect.
If someone shoots a suspect they start a limited engagement.
Repping someone in a limited engagement makes you go suspect regardless of if you also have shot the same person and have a limited engagement also.

This was designed to stop neutral logi being untouchable in wars & duels, so was a good fix overall, but has had the side effect that logi repping someone fighting a suspect end up suspect while the DPS players don't. So in an event like this it punishes logi pilots doubly. Since Logi have no recognition under the prize structure they are promoting, and because Logi go suspect so get shot at by all the scavengers as well.

Right......

If CCP gave out solid gold bars, you would complain they were too heavy.

I wouldn't undock a shuttle for a ship skin. Will probably fly logi if I can get to the fight.

This is a massive departure from CCP's normal policy for live events. As the normal policy till now has been no in game rewards. There have been Dev roams that haven't dropped anywhere near this much value in rewards. So yes, I feel the scale of the reward is out of line with their previous behaviour. FIVE HUNDRED BILLION ISK! Seriously.

And the rewards aren't being allocated in a manner that allows everyone a chance. For the low sec ones the big prizes will go to either CFC/PL as the effective entities left who can project caps in number or the local entity if they drop into a system someone has local caps in already. Since the Caps can take the prizes for most damage, & kill shot.

Additionally as has been shown already to be problematic in previous live events, both the structure of the event and agro mechanics punish logi pilots for attending. I say this as someone who normally flies logi also. I turn up, and I get next to no recognition. When the event gives no-one any recognition that's one thing, but when the event is structured to give out FIVE HUNDRED BILLION in pay outs, and as Logi I am punished by agro mechanics making me suspect if it's in high sec, and have no chance at all to get any of those pay outs, I think it's fair enough to say that Logi are getting left in the cold with the design.

However this turns out I'm really glad to see that you're spreading the events out over multiple timezones. Two of these are ideal for the AUTZ and another two are fairly reasonable. Thanks! Big smile

Hey, CCP.

When you do these, please dev hack cyno jam the surrounding systems. Given the sheer amount of stuff at stake, let's make sure we don't just have one group of people crowding out everyone else. *cough PL cough*

Remember the debacle from the last Live Event.

Given that during Caldari Prime you actively limited the number of players in system AND the server still took a massive dump and failed to generate killmails.

How exactly do you plan on making sure it actually works this time or do your logs miraculously work when you want them to? :p
