Hey guys, we appreciate the feedback here and everywhere else. We're quite happy with the turnout even though there are obviously some kinks/hurdles to overcome.

1) We know you can't pick which side to join at the moment. It's a bit of a pain, but our backend currently doesn't have the capability to do it properly, though we're looking into ways to get around that.
2) The problem with the corps switching away from the Templaris Dragonaurs and Mordu's Legion were unexpected and we're looking into ways to keep that from happening. In case it occurs in the future, we'll be sure to clearly identify who is supposed to be the attacked and who is supposed to be the defender.
3) THIS event did not have any specific reward tied to it, but we might be giving some extra rewards out for future battles. My lips are sealed about what they might be.
4) You're not only affecting the EVE storyline, you're affecting the DUST storyline as well. If you don't care about that, fair enough. But for those who do, trust me, your actions were noticed (and will be reflected).
5) We currently have to put all these events into the system manually, which means we need a GM sitting there putting in new contracts as battles end. This is obviously suboptimal, but is part of the reason the length of the events are restricted for now. We've got some crazy people in the Live Events team, however, so we've got plans to cover additional timezones and get some extended events going.

The event was cool , but I feel it can be a bit bandwagon-y. I believe it shouldn't be just who has the most victories , but a combination of other factors like financial loss , the most causalities , plus the addition of winning , etc. Also why would you side with the Templaris in this scenario anyway ? Seemed too white and black . I believe there should be a much harder choice when choosing a side , the outcome shouldn't always be entirely beneficial. Like since they are now more mercs maybe we could have less value or now that there more of us other empires and possibly our enemies will have a easier time to get a hold of Dust tech .
