Live Events Discussion

Edit: Completely miss-read about flagging.

Just give the highsec ones a miss and have fun in lowsec instead. Or bring enough logi to hold you up against the incoming DPS with spider tanking.

good to read about PL before i bothered joining the party.

Yes, it's ok in MMO for bigger organized groups to have upper hand. No one will say that casual players and kitchen sink fleets should have chance in Alliance Tournament for example. However Life Event is a different kind of animal. If you want regular (read casual) players to participate you need to make rules so they have some chances too.

Previous LE clearly shown many casuals that it's better to keep away from such things. I would be amazed if this LE grabs many people outside of regular groups like FW, big alliances and such.

Personally i will think twice about visiting any events like this. And for sure i won't bring BATTLESHIP (lol???) into these playgrounds of low-seccers. Not sure if any type of ships above frigate worth the risk and 0% chance to get any reward.

Good luck to those who will try

There were 'official event fleets' in previous Life Event. And people from high-sec joined such fleet were just brought to low-sec camp.

There were plenty of "casual" players participating in this event, our killboard is full of them, but some of them even posted in this very thread stating that they had fun doing so. In this game, we players can participate in the lore and our actions affect the outcomes - I'm guessing you didn't complain when the Jita monument was wrecked.

If all you care about is the reward then this sort of thing clearly isn't for you anyway. As for Pandemic Legion, we will continue to valiantly defend the underdog (or highest bidder) whenever the opportunity presents itself. Good luck trying to stop us.

I'd just like to thank CCP for the excellent events, and the content that they are providing for the playerbase so far.

I was in mixed minds as to what ship to bring to the event today (having only managed a Covert Ops for the one yesterday), and - with it being a long time since I've participated in high sec shenanigans, wasn't entirely firm in the belief as to what would happen with my own flagging once I lit up the CCP controlled characters.

As such, I decided to play it somewhat safe and bring a Vargur. If I'm going to die, I'm going to have some fun doing it.

Whilst I was lucky when I dropped onto the field, and saw a small number of people had already beaten me to the safespot and were not flagged despite shooting Tsatei, I actually felt a little sad, as I was somewhat hoping for a massive post-downtime brawl at the planet with everybody being flagged. :(

Nonetheless, thanks for providing the highsec dwellers with equal opportunity to win these prizes. o7

I would have expected that Caldari Navy Ships would be fitted with Caldari Navy equipment and not standard off the shelf products.

It was a highsec event , join up for the next lowsec event and you will have a lot of suspects.

For me the lowsec one was fun , i have been to the highsec one today and that'll be the first and last time i join one of those.Regardless of the complaints about null sec entities and especially PL's presence it is a LOT more fun in low-sec then high-sec.Today's high-sec event for me was one of the most boring events i could imagine.

But to each their own thing .

No, this is actually spot on. You are asking for special rules to make sure certain groups of players are prevented from participating in lore-shaping events so that "casual" players (your emphasis, not mine) can have a shot at collecting in-game rewards, entirely skipping the part were this is not about the rewards in the first place.

No. This is your words. Completely beyond of my post.

Try to read it again.

Did gather what i could about this event, especially as PL got some prizes again. Albeit it seems many think it was a *PL snatches it all again!* it was far from that, only 3 PL members were present in todays battle. So they just got lucky.

The highsec attack was a much more diverse group attacking the carrier. It died fast because almost 200 people had it primaried, hardly anything could have survived such brutal attack for long. Anyone who expected a nice drawn out fight got dissapointed yes, but tbh, events with a pre-announced time rarely have such fights with long duration, unless you throw in a fleet! of capital ships in highsec. And those got other problems...


Now with all this complaining about PL, i'm sure they'll show up in greater numbers again for next event, to make sure they can harvest enough complains. (and due to this, raise their chances of getting in on some of the PLEX bounties)
