What is this? I don't even... Ugh

Maybe someone could explain, in plain English, what is going on here?

The wishlist is pretty much complete...

I'm not 100% sure what you mean, but this is about CCP driven, in character live events.

That said, if you were referring (massively incorrectly) to the Dev Caravan events of last year, then I can confirm they will be returning this year, though that's all I'll say for now.


No i was referring to the fact that the majority of threads ive seen lately were about frieghter ganks so this is a welcome relief...
Also i remeber those caravans... got on about five killmails with a single bomb...it was nice


Those bombers were awesome! Really took us by surprise :) As if millions of e-war drones cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.


Well hopefully this year i can get off work early enough to join the defense fleet instead of picking off stragglers, speaking of which 3 days advance notice would be great...


Got my devblog slot booked well in advance of the events Big smile

Nobody likes Minmatar gardeners anyway.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

Maybe if CCP could run specific events and let interested alliances know before hand? or atleast drop a hint, these events would get alot more people attending.

Edit.
It's a suggestion not a Critisicm by the way, looked over what i said and looked kinda dickish :)


So, we would never contact alliances directly. We have given very short term notice to the first 2 Angel events, as we wanted them to be pretty low scale while we found our feet. The event happening today (IGS LinkIn Game Events link) had more notice, and others may have more or less notice as we feel best fits the event and the flavour of it.

Indeed! How exciting and mysterious!

Actually it does explain a fair bit if you read between the lines (or just the lines P)

Too cryptic, didnt read? - Live Events are back

Gues it's that time again to promote EVE Online at a convention; GDC Online.

Nice to showcase actual eve gameplay during those slots only, wish live events had a more perminant smell to it Bear


Eve online is :

A) mining simulator B) glorified chatroom C) spreadsheets online

D) CCP Games Pay to Win at skill leveling, with instant gratification

all for live events but seriously these things need to be hosted in Low Sec so that everyone has the option to join either side.

I.E you can either fight the NPCs and kill them for some rewards or you can pirate and kill players who choose bad ships to bring to these events and take what they drop.

Also CCP make these events as hard as you possibly can i want to see some real risk involved in this

Would like to see the DEVs out in T3s in the caravan, fitted to the max obv.

Does the return of live events also mean the return of Hilen Tukoss and the re-start of the AJ project? There are several of us that have been waiting a long time.....

Difficulty of events is a powerful tool in influencing their tone. We would ideally have a great spread of difficulty, with the ability to ramp things up on-the-fly as player reponse and interaction dictates.

Low sec will indeed be our home for the immediate future, but we have some development work slated for Retribution that will allow us to also run events safely in Highsec (in theory - haven't tested it yet!)

Devs in T3s eh? But our precious skillpoints when you kill us! P

Great to see LIVE EVENTS make a welcome return!

I got heavily involved in using our Agency system to defend the Republic against the Sansha Incursion events and our new agency system (PANDORA) has already come into effect with the new storyline (aid to Oddelulf).

I thrive on this sort of thing and it would be great to see the 'Background story' RP element of EvE continue to kick in and the EvE State take shape. This is the perfect opportunity for the player-base to get involved where their participation could cause storylines to fork off into different patterns Big smile

You fools!!! It's all a trap!!!

It's an excuse for them to test out their Jovian stealth bombers!!!

Attention

Everything in EVE is a trap.

And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:)
