Of course messing with the other players is the most fun in the event, still it is that much fun that I might actually stick around for a couple of days, instead of just reactivating my accounts and then not bothering to log in at all :).

Lol I had a svipul try to steal the can out from under me. Free killmail with a huge number cause he stole my skin and got about 5 feet with it

Silly t3's this is high sec, you have no power here.

Anyone have more details on when and where the infested domi has a chance of spawning if at all?

If it's anything like the old Blood Raider sites, it'll be random with a chance to occur anywhere the sites show up, which should also be anywhere in Eve. The chance is likely based on whether or not you're in High Sec, Low, Null, and such (I'm assuming they appear in non-K space as well).

I have seen the BS spawn about 1 out of 7-10 sites.

they dont drop anything anyway, my best drops so far have been from the cruisers. ill take a carrier skin over 1 plex anyday, its not even a substantial number like 100-500. just 1, 2m nothing special, skins are worth more.

Would be a decent event but as a new player I found older players with higher tier ships have a mind set to do no work for all the reward, I have learned this is how the eve community mindset is, the past four I have found were empty I killed all the required ships to spawn the boss and 2-3 warp in at 0 as soon as the boss spawns to out damage me to get the drop. Before that I would warp to some and seen it was occupied and flew over vast distances to find one that was empty. I understand competitiveness or whatever you want to call it but I also understand on just doing it to be a **** which is highly likely the case here with people doing this in very high sec areas. Then proceed to link drops just to **** off people they killstole from, it's highly unlikely they actually making anything off it seeing their ships are worth way more then the drops themselves, all this event will do is turn off a lot of the newer players.

I know you're going to say its whining or crying or If I don't like it quit, seems like the go to answer in most games when the community really have no good answers, before you lecture me on your community consensus or to read the terms of service, I see the only thing people have to "whine" about is drop in prices for the items that are dropping from this event.

There are a lot of a-holes out there but a lot of nice people too.

I'm more concerned about the "estimated" value of items.

Avatar Kador SKIN (Permanent) shows, "Est. Price 1,226,000,000" in my cargo hold but you can buy them all day long in Jita for about 20 million.

Where does this estimated price come from?

Pre event prices when you could only get them on market and they were way overpriced because people weren't charging the actual isk value.

It seems kador is the rarest though.
Out of 30 sites today I've gotten 1 kador skin

Valimor common
Justice semi rare
Wiyrkomi rare
Kador ultra rare

Plex only drop in small amounts not 500 so the Plex aspect of the event is worthless.
Haven't seen any drone bocs so far but I have gotten a few worthless drone alloys worth like 2k.

Just got my 8th Kador out of about 30 skins so far. Only 1 PLEX.

The Rogue Swarm Accelerators are nice but have only got 4 so far.

The minerals are the same as what drones used to drop.

Guilty as charged, Blink. I run around in an Alpha fit gnosis and I out gun ships with higher dps than me a few times. Drop goes to final blow. But they often just take the loot anyways and go suspect because they either think I wont risk my ship to retaliate, or they hope I will so they can kill me. I don't risk my ship.

Fly around randomly through less populated systems and you can get a few sites to yourself. As the event unfolds in a few days some people may lose interest in them and you will have better luck. But the potential reward will be less as the market gets flooded.

Drop goes to most damage done, not final blow. All wreck (or rather loot inside the wreck) ownership works like that.
I have some suspicion that it counts the full damage of the last shot & not just the amount needed to kill it though. Which does help the person who got the last shot. But it's most damage overall.

It is final blow, trust me I did 25% of the damage before and got the drop. I have done 95% of the damage before and lost the drop.

I don't agree. I've done a $hit-ton of damage and had someone get the wreck. Goes to final blow.

And I'm changing my position. 9 out of 10 people I run into in these sites are a$$holes!

What's up with the Rogue Drone Booster? is it like the other boosters that gave you a little faster training speed? Only time to run one site tonight and got the Valimor Legacy - Thorax SKIN. I think the design of the site is perfect for it's real intent, getting people to undock and steal/fight with each other. Twisted

I operate under the assumption that 10/10 of people i run into are Evil and thus I act accordingly. Twisted. Ok not always, for me being a nice guy is first nature and hard to overcome as a character flaw. Cool

Booster is plus 10 to all aspects for I think 2 days. So it is a somewhat decent training speed boost. And they expire on june 30th. So they have to be used or they become paper weights. This wont stop people from trying to sell them to fools later in scam contracts.

We don't need to steal, we just ninja the wreck through ingame mechanics and don't have to go suspect for a few mils worth of junk loot :P
