Live Events Discussion

These are actually done now, and are in the backlog to be distributed when our database guys come back off of summer vacation. Shouldn't be too long.

They'll be in the form of a decoration added to people's character sheets, and will be issued by Mordu's Legion Command.

Alright! Progress!

Thanks, boss Falcon!

\o/
Finally got the ribbon. This was a very pleasant surprise on logging in!

Yay, I got one!

I feel like a few words are missing from the last quote.

Thank you, CCP Falcon, and everyone who helped work on this project! It may be small in the grand scheme of things compared to player-made jumpgates or new ships and an industry overhaul, but you can sure as hell bet that the Live Events community and everyone who was affected by that battle, its aftermath, and the events spiraling from it appreciate your efforts!

Especially seeing as how these were added on top of emergency server maintenance last night. :P

Great job, sir! (and yes, some text is cut off, and it's not listed as the most recent award given, but I'm sure that's known by now).

TBH I'd guess that's because of technical problems with figuring out which side people were on, but it's really nice that they can do a single decoration and still have it work with the lore so well. I love this stuff for the solid lore.

Perhaps send a mail to CCP Falcon, explaining the situation (and send proof in form of screenshots/killreports?) It was a very chaotic battle, where several people suffered alot from disconnects, so can be that some logs of players were very unclear to CCP.

Also did a publication on the handout to raise awareness to people: Mordu's Legion awards Caldari Prime combatants!

Not I.
After the issues with claimed railroading of the C.P. event, and then the utter failure which was the into of ghost sites, I think CCP should start back smaller scale. A lot of people got burned between those two events, and the 'big' events carry a lot of feeling that players have no influence on them at all.
They need to build fresh trust, and also work on improving the ways in which players communicate with them. In game PM's do not seem to be working well, or they are selectively ignoring a lot of them, either of which is a bad state for things to be in.

So, Small events to build both of those.

With above commentors in mind, there have been a few CCP events between the Caldari Prime battle & the Ghost site event. These events were smaller scale & revolved around the ousting of Heth from the State. They still did gather attention from those that follow ingame news.

If you like to stay in touch with events (CCP & player organized) please join the Live Events channel! Do keep in mind, due to the sporadic nature of events, tehre's quite some non-event related banter in this channel, but it remains the best place to keep track of most events

Also, after the debacle of the Ghost site event, there have been a few small events as well, Guristas chasing a prototype, a training battle for new capsuleers, simulating a fight between the 4 major factions in EvE (part of the CCP help program) and not to mention another large event!
This event was the Provist Manhunt, an event that received positive recognition from the players, I made a summary of all the Provist manhunt events: The Provist Manhunt Summary

So indeed CCP is working to earn back the trust they lost on the Ghost event. It is also correct that PM atm isn't very reliable, due to the lack of a Live Event team. As long as there isn't a new Live Event Team, I doubt there will be large events with deep lore interaction, as that needs alot of work. It'll either be large events, directed to a certain outcome, or smaller events that leave more room for player/actor interactions.
