It really is baffling. Asher got dragged for expecting servers to work in tidi during enho. Now server doesn't work in tidi, and suddenly ccp is at fault, goons too big to fail, etc etc. Maybe reevaluate your strategies instead of going and crying when things don't go your way

Something I respected was that Asher afterwards was like "Yeah, we took our shot and missed."
These guys are running around screaming and blaming CCP like children... it is embarrassing.

It is. Papi, and pgl especially, were so smug about about enho not working, when in reality they were bailed out by the game not working as expected. Now the game doesn't work as expected, and its everyone's fault but their own for not taking that into account before the executed.
Good players blame themselves
Bad players blame everything else

Remind me how many goon FC's were featured screaming at their line members in This is Really Eve.

None?

Poor Redline, hes already dead and Grath just keeps going.

that guy jeremy was way worse

Papa Grath's not wrong

Papa Grath's never wrong (unlike Lelob, who let's face it, was wrong half the time!)

pls lelob is never wrong. and when you think he is, he's not.

The reality was tapi was only ever going to loose titans. They never were in range regardless of loading grid to return fire on anything but the keepstar..
If their line pilots thought they were going to get titan kills they were mislead greatly.
Fundamentally this was a complete failure of knowledge, strategy, tactics, and timing.
They should know the servers have issues above 5k people in system and that it won't load instantly. Along with they should know you can't jump 4k people into system at one moment. There's a reason imperium took 3 hours to do it.
They should never have jumped. The imperium knew the jump point long before they entered grid. The entire supercap fighter wing was in place to helldunk the enemy titans from the start. Never jump into that.
They lacked the ability to return fire against any ship meaning maybe they kill the keepstar at most but take massive losses doing it.
Timing. If you think that tapi was unaware or caught of guard by the imperium forming early you clearly don't understand the spy game. Both sides knew each others plans long before ships entered grid.
This strategy was going to lead to a failure regardless of execution or the servers.
Maybe instead of letting the imperium setup perfectly for 3 hours that maybe they should have jumped in much earlier meaning both sides would need to load grid at similar times and rates like a normal escalation. Instead of jumping into a heavily fortified kill box expecting to Rambo their way into an advantage.
I'm sorry for the line members. Your leadership fucked up in more ways than can be counted and soured what could have been a great fight.

wtf i love grath now
33
Exactly right.
I'd love to know the logic behind telling people not to login, and then letting goons control the grid when telling people to jump/login to system.
32
One of the first things you learn as Junior FC is never engage an enemy fleet by jumping a gate , taking a cyno or anything that will force your Fleet to load grid against a pre set up enemy force unless you outnumber them 3:1.
Somehow these Genius Papi Sky Marshals decided it was a good idea to ignore this when using Capitals in a grid they were not controling nor had the enemy outnumbered under heavy tidi.
Its not CCP. Its not the servers, its not the lag. Its your incompetence and your shitty Blob war mentallity.
Please keep failing as FC's from both sides stupidly so the real pvpers would have less bored douchbag titan pilots to worry ruining real pvp content when this clown fieasta war is over.

This is what I don't get. This lesson was learned back in HED-GP just before B-R. Why would anyone make the call with titans is beyond me.

Miss you Daedrah!

As a logi main, I even know this

There are a lot of questions the PAPI line members should be asking of their leadership right now. Even if you ignore the server issues, a lot of their tactical choices today were highly questionable.
24
Sums things up very well...as only Garth could.
22
The dumbest part is Redline posturing by repeatedly chiming "Don't we as players deserve better?" over and over before he finally reveals his hand at 15h 15m and asks "Do goons feel good about this?".
The answer is yes. Papi let the Imperium form up hours in advance uncontested. Papi jumped into a murderball of fighters in the most extreme tidi possible. The expected happened and you absolutely want to deflect your own stupidity onto pre-existing game mechanics because you truly cannot take the same beating you dished out to Asher months ago.
Shut the fuck up, Redline.

i enjoy this video

couldnt have said it better
12
I logged in on my sub cap character saw the grid and fighters out before the fight even started and noped the fuck out assuming we would never go in, because who would go into that shit
12
Hats off to you. You probably have an intact Titan in a hangar somewhere right now because of that. They might want to put you in charge of the war, since clearly you have more common sense than the PAPI leaders.

Hahaha. This guy nailed it

Girth Telkin slappin down the knowledge.
If PAPI decided to blueball, they'd have to deal with a few days of smugposting.
Now PAPI has to deal with a few weeks of smugposting and replacing 200 titans. Great fuckin call dipshits.
Really goes to show how much ego plays a part in these decisions.
Some idiot decided that a couple of days of shit posting was too much to bear and they should risk whelping a titan fleet to avoid it.
