Probably the WORST event I've wasted my time on in my 10 years of EVE ...

TiDi is expected honestly but I feel that this could have gone over a little bit better with some better preparation.

- 800+ pilots had gone to Sarum Prime because that was the original staging system in the World News event.
- The node didn't seem to be reinforced, and thereby TiDi kicked in, as to be expected.
- The staging point was then moved to Ihal, but the node(s) were not reinforced, thereby making the jump to Ihal excruciatingly long.
- We were then informed that we should be moving to 8V-SJJ which was (hilariously) in the opposite direction.
- Due to the distance of these jumps and the TiDi factor, I had made some spur of the moment calculations based on how long it was taking the larger ships to successfully jump into the next system, this was about 20 minutes per jump. I then applied this to the amount of jumps to the target destination and it came out to be about 9 hours or so, at which point TiDi was reduced to 30% as a mass of the participants logged off.

I'm still not quite sure what was supposed to happen in this event. Maybe something about the Empires fighting back their associated Pirate organizations but as far as the Lore is concerned, Capsuleers seem to be a greater hinderance to the Empires than the Pirate organizations. Like I said, not sure what was supposed to happen in this event, I have class in an hour so I had logged out early.

173 made it to destination system - to pop there.

This was indeed handled very poorly, and I'm disappointed in what appears to be CCP's lack of foresight.

Having a staging system announced a day before the event and then changing it one hour before the event was bad planning.
Having routes travel through known staging systems for large alliances was not the smartest idea either.

I hope live events continue and that the higher members of CCP don't see this as more reasons to ignore the events or postpone them. The events as a whole have potential but they really need more thought and consideration to what can and will happen.

Exactly how is this post even related to the boring 20 jumps on a poorly equipped server?

At least the OP was 1 hour.

I've been here for 5-6 hours trying to organize a fleet, with no information, hours of travelling, and now many more trying to go back with a 10% TiDI that has me slowboating in warp.

If this is pre-rubi warp changes, post rubi, battleships will never be used for pvp anymore. Unless they are at least dualboxing something "fun" while the boring one hauls for 10 hours just to go to a gate.

Can people confirm that the CCP controlled Pirates self distructed? That the events out come was predetermined?

Thank you for the event, it was great (no pun intended).

What is really awesome, it shows that CCP doesn't have a faintest idea how the sandbox they created works.

See you next time,

RR


P.S.
Got this when trying to correct my typo :)

Someone should get fired over this. Seriously. This one a total ****-show and CCP pissed off a huge number of people today, people who will in future think twice about plexing or subbing their accounts. No renewal = loss of revenue. And for this, the revenue drop will be significant.

So... bye, bye event organizer! The door's over there.

OP nails it pretty good. Spent 2 hours going from Sarum Prime to Ihal, by the time I got there the event was mostly over (not that anyone had actually reached the event, most died gloriosly in the Doril gatecamp or in Sendaya) Lol

No attempts at organization whatsoever from CCP, contrary to the expectations created by those news items.

On Live Events channel ISD announced that after attack was successfully repelled and base saved, pirates destroyed their own base. I was amused.
