They are adding ability to choose sides in the next build so yeah no more random victories and wins for sides: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=633845#post633845

Some times for the sake of story u need a rail road a little bit the titain was going down regardless however the squids could have railled back and driven the gals off. As it stands the space battle was lost as people gave up maybe misunderstanding what was going on. However the planet still belongs to the squids and that we Did affect thus affected the story. As a gm I understand the need to force a little direction to stop my places from ridding around on pink bunny. As it's the players job to enjoy the story and gms job to deliver it without a player 4chaning it

Oh I see ur point I think then that in this case it was a poor choice of words or a misunderstanding of the event. As the dust guys would be affecting the story and the eve guys seemed to be taking part. I think the tag line of make Eve history would have been better :-)
I do think though in this case the devs have been victims of English and it billion of ways of saying the same thing slightly diffrently

Event was way too long. Way too large. yeah the space part was fun, and the skyline was cool as hell. Except for the parts of the titan on the map that were not even solid..... Bullets passing through. And bugged, making people teleport themselves.

Anyway, final result is 8000 vs 7500 battles. How in hell can anyone get a feeling he actually did something ? I may have played 30 games. Reminds me of MAG contracts where you could win 10 games in a row against the same faction and still see them win the contract..

Definitely not the way to go imo... Here are some thoughts:

=> More communication should be done in game regarding events
=> Instant battle and should stay out of it. (corp battle as we know it is gone next build so not even a problem)
=> picking side is needed (obviously)
=> Give a real incentive in participating outside of just getting free items. Maybe people could only pick one side and be locked on it for the entire event and only get the reward linked to that faction IF it wins the event in the end.

If several thousand people each played 30 games, every one of them had as much impact as you.

An individual player may not be much more than a stone thrown into a pond, but if you're throwing enough stones in all at once, those ripples can turn into a pretty large wave by the time they hit the shore.

I was watching the live stream and I heard them mention the 1600 player limit on the system. The only thing I don't understand, which is probably a fault of mine if anything, is that I've seen more players in Jita and Amarr - and usually most of them are dirtying it up with each other at the station docking areas.... One question I do have though is could TiDi not have been enforced to allow a larger player cap or does CCP not have manual control over it, or does it not work that way?


Sure, it was a shame to hear that the Shiigeru was scripted to blow up and players couldn't target it, but if it hadn't, which let's be honest, Caldari would've won anyway, then we wouldn't have the ship peaking its ugly butt over the top of our maps now, and all that work in editing the maps would've been for nothing.
