Well, they were short-lived and not specially successful.

But we didn`t get any info. Just some common phrases about "technical issues" more than a month ago and that`s all.

they weren't really there long enough for people to get upset about. turns out that many drifters plus amarr navy npcs caused performance/technical issues so they got yanked. Saw a few SS on twitter of CCP testing them on one of the test servers.

I read it as being once going on TQ, it was harder load on the servers or something like that. Understandable, would be like 23/7 fleet fights. But surprised it wasnt picked up for and accounted on Sisi. Oh welp, am still waiting, ready to roll(play)

I hope they won't. It was a fiasco right from it's beginning.

The problem was that they worked just fine on the testing servers (all of them) but for some reason things got borked when applied to TQ, so they yanked em until they can figure out what it is - which is darn near impossible since it worked fine on ALL the testing servers.

Cause they werent able to be farmed in bling isk ships for plex and people were actually being cautious on how to counter them.

Far from impossible.

Maybe I'm thinking this backwards, but I associate a fiasco with being somehow bad. I don't see anything inherently problematic with what you stated, thus my question stands.

Anything said on the eve forums? Lotsa junk to wade through.

Don't be a Luddite. There's many mediums for communication.

Paradox was just answering a question asked.

A devblog is coming soon (as per Paradox's post in the link).
