Its kind of sad that EVE is so stagnant that one of the larger factions of the game feels it necessary to run an event on the test server, instead of undocking and playing on tranquility.

How do you get from that link to "They feel it is so stagnant"?

Maybe because they want to have a very very cheap way to make a huge event for anybody to join, also including new players that don't have massive amounts of ISK to throw away.

But I want to know:

Can the last 2 survivors fall in love and refuse to kill each other?

Would we all care?

... or maybe the TIDI on the test server is just much, much less... and it's a cheap way to train noobs before the "real" fights. Blink

The scale of the event would be literally unfeasible to do on Tranquility. The cost of all the ships needed for this are pretty astronomical.

Estimated cost of all ships in the arena
Player Ships = 100b
Overseer Ships = 200b
Assorted Modules and Loot in the Arena = 25b

Of the 1,000+ ships destroyed in the arena, I had about 4000 left

ehm... you can trigger tidi on sisi by dropping drones or reprocessing. this event will fail, sorry.

the hardware is just not there.

Should I read this now or save it for later.... I ... wonder....


There's no doubt about it. The game has some kind of general malaise descending on it. Before Dracvlad left the game to try out other things for a few months, he said something that I could not get out of my head. It haunts me to this day.

He said that the game is becoming more about preventing other people from playing the game, then it is about actually playing a game.


That's a kind of double negative situation. Nothing good comes of that.

No tidi was experienced during the event except for when we podded all 230 participants at once to a unseeded station, even bridging them into the system did not cause that kind of problem. Due to the spread out nature of the arena, the only time lag was experienced was some of the beacons had a flood of unpiloted ships and a few drones.


I am hoping that CCP implements a unpiloted ship filter for the overview before we do Theomachy again, it will eliminate the cluttered overview problem.


Overall feedback for the event was positive and we will be doing it again next year but not as close to the next AT.

"Angst Transference"

That's the term I use to describe how someone (who is incredibly angry and some perceived slight or situation) always manages to see some totally unrelated thing as somehow magically related to the thing they hate.

You can see it in real life on news websites that allow comments, (somehow, the current resident of the White House, of whom i am personally not a fan, is responsible for everything from a bad economy to Kim Kardashian's booty being too big).

But hell, you don't even have to go that far., just open any thread to which Dinsdale has posted and read about how the null sec cartels are responsible for everything, how every nerf is their fault and every buff is something that they profit from lol.

They run it on the Singularity server because space poor capsuleers(like me) wouldn't feel the pinch. But go ahead and spin this into another "Eve is dying' thread.

So, since no one is risking their real assets...is this like carebear null.

I find it hard to believe that CCP preaches risk/reward and allows the test server to be used to avoid risk.

Devil's underpaid advocate: So the problem is the inability of noobs or newer players to make Isk on Tranquility. Still indicative of a problem.

Not quite why we do it on sisi instead of Tranq, it would simply be impossible to finance the ships needed to supply for the players to shoot each other in the face and the prizes on top of that.
