CCP Goliath wrote:Just dropping in to say thanks for giving us this feedback. We haven't had time to go through it all yet, but we will be doing so as a team and taking a lot of points on board to shape our work in the future. We will also be explaining some things to clear up some misunderstandings we have been noticing. Thanks for your time and patience.
This "misunderstanding" statement is just like that still unresolved situation where one of your GMs declared that we could be banned for impersonating ourselves. Then another GM had to come along and "clear up one little misunderstanding" of the playerbase in a transparent overruling of the first GM; link. Once again, there is no misunderstanding on our part; it's you at CCP that doesn't understand. CCP should be very thankful that their product is so unique because your arrogance and lack of communication would be extremely bad if you had any viable competitors. |

The silence is rather worrying for those that were very upset by this, CCP has definately take their eye off the ball here.
The live events team and others are probably having a proper debrief, as you've said. If you are wanting a proper response, give them time to do so. Also, consider this. Yes the TiDi was ****, and travelling many jumps through it was ****, and getting massacred at the end was, you guessed it, ****, just pause for a minute. You could have stopped travelling after the first couple of 10% TiDi jumps, you could have given up before you jumped into lowsec, and before you jumped into null, and you could have went and did something else. I'm not excusing the fact that you were led through an experience that left you disatisfied, and could have been planned better (my earlier posts agree that you Empire folks had a poorer time of it), but just take the time to realise that you could have gotten off the failtrain and did something else. There is a bit of personal responsability that you have to take here. Of course, it will be a minor miracle if the rabblerabble brigade realises this rather than sperging, but you never know. Hal.
"You could have had a much better time with the live event by not participating in the live event"
Is that really the best defense of this you could come up with? |

Looking forward to seeing what CCP has to say about this.
Although as a game master myself, I am shocked that you didn't have multiple blogs ready go covering the whole range of possible event outcomes. Take blog closest to how things actually turned out, tweak it and add details, and publish it within hours of the event ending. The basic game master technic of being prepared for all outcomes would have made this entire thing much better for you. |

I'm sure they had, they just didn't have any prepared for a buck up of this magnitude.
Just releasing the RP blog to explain what happened and the result with a note that a dev blog on the technical and actor failures would be forthcoming shortly would have been better the way it was handled. |

A live event went sideways. Big. *******. Deal. Most of you are acting like they touched you in your no-no zone.
Some people care about different parts of the game than I do, that makes them stupid. |

We already know exactly what happened during the live event. When we asked for a dev blog discussing it, we didn't mean we just wanted a recap of what we already knew. We wanted an apology, CCP to acknowledge what went wrong, and explain how things should have been done differently to avoid this mess. I saw nothing in that dev blog to make me believe that CCP has any idea why players are mad about the live event. So nice cover-your-ass, kick-the-can-down-the-road post, but I don't think that your lackluster response is going to help anything or convince people to show up at the next live event because there's no reason to believe that CCP has learned anything from this.
