I woke up this morning very excited to her about the live event. I've Been playing Eve about 4 months now and have yet to beable to go to one. It was a little hard to get there because I Live in nullsec and we are currently war-deced, but I didn't care I was going to make it to Sarum Prime if it killed me(and it did i lost a hyperion trying to get there, should have use more then one warp core stab. Oh well I'm learning) So finally I make it to Sarum Prime buy a new ship in amarr and sit back and wait the last 2 hours. Fianally Its about 15 minutes till the event, we haven't been told anything, getting into a fleet was almost impossible but right when I think the fun is Going to start I'm told I have to jump 23 jumps in 10-33% tidi. ok i know about tidi i was prepared for this, but not 23 jumps in it. But i swore I would make this event and i was determined. So im flying and finally 15 jumps out tidi stops so now im really excited im almost there. 8 jumps from the destination i am told it is no longer the destintion. Now that really has me upset i just travled 50 mins to get here to be told no they switched it again. Ok since most of my fleet didn't make it past the 3rd gate camp to the location i just give up.
I've been sitting back and listening to people trash ccp alot since I started playing and honestly I looked at most of it as alot of just crying, but really if you cant get a small event like this to run correctly then maybe i was wrong and ccp is the problem. whis i didn't spend all morning waiting for nothing... and yes i was in the live events chat channels..
hopefully i can make the next event, next time they give a destination ill just make sure im on the other side of the map and i should be alright

I as really on the side of the fence saying "hey give ccp a break they cant do everything". but after this really? really? is it that hard? open a wormhole for us guys in sarum prime and the other start location instead of making us jump 20 something jumps in tidi for an hour to give the blob enough time to completly block the event |

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but when you set destination for a place within two jumps of where we are staged, you might get us showing up (not to point out, said destination was smack in between the two sides of the largest nullsec war at the moment, you didn't have a chance). |

Its very easy to know where to go knowing ccp would probably be moving into null sec. If they tell you to base off on a system then the closest null system will be destination most likely.
They just camp it and way, if not already camped regardless of the event, as well as the lowsec systems close by to empire.

I have a certain amount of sympathy for CCP, because when they try to do a role play event the major blocks always come in to ruin it in some shape or form. Remember a simple truth about Eve, the best thing about Eve is the players, the worst thing about Eve is the players! |

Why the hell would you make the event right in the middle of the biggest war going on in null sec right now? why have the people interested in the event 23 jumps deep into highsec and have the event 5 jumps from the big blocks homes? then tell us to get there in 10 mins... wtf dd they think would happen???? |

Because the explosion was in Syndicate, but that Goon was giving you a rubbish answer to annoy you further, the war is actually happening in Catch, not Syndicate, Syndicate is however close to the Goons, so was always going to be ruined, not that having it in Mimmatar space would help much either...

I don't really know why CCP try to do these large events. I can understand the intention (to create content and engage with players) What I mean is that the logistics of an event like this are bound to cause massive lag/TiDi and frustrate a load of people.
You could run similar events with less publicity and more locally based.
example: Everyone in a certain system/constellation either receives an evemail or gets added to a chat channel. CCP then announce that something is happening locally and the empire navies require assistance from capsuleers.
They order you to form up at a location (beacon in a system) the fleet leaves within 15-20 mins.
at the beacon a Navy/CCP titan bridges fleet to a location to shoot stuff. (or a temporary gate spawns)
Run a bunch of them randomly in different areas, at different times so multi time zones can join in.
OK, it's not as exciting as a massive fleet, but it is far better than getting raped on a low sec gate by a T3 blob that knew you were coming that way. |

CCP called up their null sec buds and said "hey, have we got a fun break for you. We are going to lead not one, but TWO high sec fleets right through the toughest chokepoints in the game, and we are going to give you hours of lead time to set up. Take a break from your sov war and enjoy the gift."
CCP ran 2 events. Precisely how difficult would it have been to have one in null sec, and the other in high sec, or low sec even? The answer why they did not is obvious. |

Unfortunately I missed this one but I had planned to try and get some sneaky ganks in myself. I hope CCP do more of these events, though less time dilation would be appreciated. Sounds like it was bad!

Well funny you say that because I personally find it annoying to fly in high sec. However CCP offered pirates (we pay our subs too) the chance to join in, and I was planning to head towards Utopia (1 jump from the death zone) for the start.
Perhaps they could have announced it better?

That's honestly my main complaint is just how they left us so far from the event then ccps fleet really left and didnt wait for the rest of us from sruam prime... like wtf did they event use suram prime as a start location

There were far better live events than this one.
After this one, I only hope the reputation of live events is not damaged so much that the next ones will just get the bird flipped at it. That would be kind of sad.
I'm going out of my way not to base future expectations on this one. This one was merely botched.
Like that time someone tricked a Sansha mothership in a pre-incursion live event to hit a CONCORD ship with a SB and *pop* it was done right there. |

Actually it may be that I will go to the next live event because it might not be such a complete lagfest.
Like many I like it that CCP tried, I expect that the major 0.0 blocks will do everything they can to gatecrash the event, that is why there was so much secrecy on the location etc., but it was badly handled. I do not think in anyway that CCP set it up so 0.0 people could massacre hisec people, but once you take hisec people into 0.0 that is always going to happen.
And to give an example do people remembr a certain Super and 1,000 Rifters, PL gatecrashed that and started repping the super and shooting the rifters, that is the mentality CCP is dealing with and people in hisec should understand that. |
