EVE General Discussion

Maybe.

I saw a lot of drop off during the massive gauntlet run through a system known as TiDi. Even I had to leave because of RL obligations.

Too bad for the gate campers too because I was going to bring my deadspace fit Comet. I always wear my best out to the live events. If it was a PVP event and not a Live Event, I had a pile of Kestrels to throw at that.


But speaking of tactics and organization, the TiDi run was probably the killer here. The fleets that staged in highsec and had to move to nullsec were getting some heinous TiDi during staging. Lots of "i'll be there tomorrow night" in the Live Events channel. Compare this to the way nullsec organizations make use of cnyos and jump bridges.

I am certain there will be claims that jump bridges "break the game" but that may not be an issue in this case.

Another huge factor was that the higsec fleets had changing and incomplete information on where to meet up. if there was a reason why there was no organized fleet, or one did not form up fast enough, it's due to this lack of information. The channels were loaded with X-ups throughout, and then seemingly one by one with an apparent lack of organization and x-up requests being ignored, along with "set destination to here... no there... now to here", a lot of people just gave up and went to sleep or back to work.

If CCP does this again, though I doubt it because Iceland is going to be submerged under an ocean of frozen tears soon, there were certainly be a need to advise of better organization. Nobody knew what was going on, nor what to do. Today it really seemed like CCP lost interest in their own live event because there was hardly any information coming from them.

Look at it this way: I remember a Sansha live event (before incursions) where one of the actors in a ship passed through a system, blue text and all, rushing to the next incursion that had not even started yet, and with each system, the fleet behind him grew. By the time the word was entirely out, organized fleets were right behind the actor and others converging on the projected path.

This time, there was no input. A lot of players were even getting the impression that it was over before it even started.

Interestingly, all it would have taken would have been to get FCORD and SYNE, IRED, and other known RP-like organizations from the IG forums into direct communications with CCP and each other and there would have been a much better organized fleet effort. We do have proof that organization between alliances and CCP does exist, considering the scandals of the past.

Finally, if you really want to get highsec fleets into nullsec, just stage huge battles whereby all highsec incursions will stop UNTIL the staged battle takes place. The most organized highsec fleet players (and those who left nullsec) are the incursioners. Heck do it this way and the nullseccers would have logged their highsec incursion alts to fight each other in nullsec and get the incursions back.

Be lots of kestrels popping that day let me tell you.

See this is what pisses me off about the current 'peeveepee' crowd. It used to be about gudfites. Now it's just about collecting tears and telling people to deal with it or leave? AND THEN you have the balls to ***** about people not coming to low and nul?

Give me a ******* break. What happened to the game I loved man?

don't know i never played hello kitty online...

Coming from a gankbear who's major KB padding source are hulks, your **** talk's worth about as much Mittani's quiet capital construction offer.

Because having challenging fights instead of killing people who even if they were dc'ed would have made no difference is the same as playing hello kitty online.

Weren't they supposed to show up in crummy ships? That was part of the call. Show up in stuff you don't care if you lose.

Whatever, of course they get trashed by those who showed up in whatever they wanted.

Because in eve online you don't cry about jumping a low-sec gate and losing you ship, you get a ******* warning telling you what you are about to do. If you do it anyways and lose your ship, and then run to the forums crying, you are a god damn ****** and they game would be better if you just left.

People lose spaceships because they do stupid things, but when you decide it's better to cry then to learn from you mistakes you are so ******* stupid eve online is just not a game you have then mental capacity to play.

Says the guy who doesn't step foot into nul and ganks miners like a 'bad ass.'


Is that why you stay in high sec? Lost too many ships to people who shoot back?

Nerd.

It was to introduce the Ghost Sites for Rubicon via an event. There's a chronicle about it on the wiki.
Welp.

Maybe you you should just find a game where you can pick flowers, while you watch brokeback mountain.

******.
