Graveyard Of Titans - The Massacre at M2-XFE - The Largest Battle Fought in EVE-Online 

lol

I was wondering about that, when in the video he mentioned "5000 players" ... so the game does lag like all other MMO's when there is alot going on!?

That's the unfortunate technological limitations of EVE. They don't have techs like Star Citizen is developing like persistent entity streaming and replication layer where they can keep adding more servers as more people are crammed into a location. In EVE it's just 5k people sitting in 1 system and 1 server node while another 5-10k is trying to get in while only a handful would get in at a time, which leads to a turkey shoot.

@@AHigherPerspective You can call up CCP's help desk and put in a request to have a server node "reinforced" as in dedicate more processing from the cluster to the node, but tidi is still a pain. Also, from what I heard through the grapevine is that Imperium knew where the PAPI titans were going to land and basically bubbled them to hell and back so they could not leave. This system was camped for at least a couple of months afterwards with PAPI titan pilots trapped since they logged off in space during the fight. Imperium knew where they logged off and kept that location bubbled. Every time one would log in, a fleet ping went out and a titan would die. A few did escape here and there. Fast forward to today. One of the PAPI leaders got fed up with PAPI and joined the Imperium.

That was actually what I was expecting.

You are so wrong for that (lol). I'll just keep chasing the angel Cartel is highsec.

I heard this battle started because a VNI got hotdropped.

Bro that would be so me

MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM

Innocent? Nobody in Eve is innocent.

at least they're free right?

@@AHigherPerspective I feel like BRAVE has a strategic advantage in this, they've been ruthlessly optimizing for fun/hour for a decade. Looking forward to the Corvette and Cormorrino war!

Corms will become the capitals of WWB3

I do know the next video will be "Graveyard of Corvettes"

Now that would be epic 4K players fighting it out in stock corvettes .... well at least 2 civilian lasers each :p

Lol!

And the servers that had to host this battle

Talk about a lag fest...

🤣🤣🤣

Moment of silence for the pain that is tidi. Utterly horrendous gameplay

Shut up.

That’s why I came back

@@PraiseTheLordyourGodJesus Harassing your virtual neighbors with your religious beliefs at 4AM isn't very nice my guy. While your "god" left me a mess for months at the death of my grandmother he struck down suddenly and without warning, I found my salvation in the arms of a goddess of wisdom and fertility. Grandmother was a lifelong devout Christian like yourself, obsessed with spreading "his" word, every room had either a cross or some visage of Mary on the walls, and she even held late night and extremely early morning bible study with fellow Christians, regularly blaring sermon recordings on the livingroom TV at horrid hours. He remains silent to this day. Lady Inari was the one who picked me up when I was down, she came to me in a dream clearer than reality, her loving embrace and wisened words put me together when my mind and heart were in pieces. But you won't see me touting lady Inari's wisdom on everything I post, let alone shoving phrases someone else vaguely tangential to her once said into random, months old comments. Her messenger, a silver-haired fox named "Kon", stays with me at all times, even when I'm awake. She shares a similarly wisened perspective to her patron and provides knowledge I couldn't have known on my own, but reliably proves true. Her advice has never steered me wrong. The best part is? She's been lifting up my friends too. My long time best friend was in a pit of his own. She sent a messenger into his dreams, a black-haired fox with red and green eyes named "Stella", he spoke to her every night for a couple years. Slowly, everything about his life started righting itself. The warring between his parents decreased, and when they do, he said it doesn't hurt the same way it used to. His view of the world cleared up and he found a path to his lifelong goal as a musician, one he has sailed through seemingly effortlessly as of late. According to him she doesn't show up anymore, but he hasn't needed her to either. Another friend lost his way in life entirely. He was coached out of suicide and found his way into the Phillipine army instead by a fox of pure gold, I never got the fox's name from him since he went to boot camp shortly after I found out. Hoping whomever the fox is, can help him survive the coming storm China is brewing.

@@BruvaBob Whirs itself to sleep every night... the poor thing.

I hear you. No one really uses titans in battles so they tend to just pile up and become a deterrent weapon. Some of these dead titans are literally 10+ years old.

@@AHigherPerspective i love reading these comments being ignorant to eve.

@@mikehunt3420 For perspective normal ships for combat are worth between a couple million ISK to a couple hundred million ISK. A titan was worth (when I played 6 years ago) 70 billion ISK.

@@cyrusol Defense spending go brrrr, I guess...

@@mikehunt3420 Fallout 4 guy here...

they'll be buying out your ores .... you actually won the war :D

In a way that is a story in and of itself. You could literally write little posts like that as you mine.

@@ferjo3192 eve has kinda become a story of war profiteering

crab on o7

Shhhh. Don't let the outsiders know lol.

Zoom. In.

What? So this is not a gameplay at all?

@@sapitron In game you’d be lucky to get 1 frame every few minutes, if you turned down all your settings so the game looks like Space Invaders.

@@markb6978 How would you even fight battles in 1 frame per 10 minutes? How'd you know what you're shooting at?

i beg to differ. once the wheels fell off of eve during m2 pt 2, goons had to maintain huge fleets in 2 places. one in their home system in case we invaded (not much of an invasion really, we were next door to them in t5z) and another fleet they had to have in m2 in case we tried a jail break of our titans that were stuck there from when the wheels fell off of eve. so that left us with freedom to reign down pain and take the entire region (scept for 1dq constellation of course) and all surrounding regions as well. the "ghost fleet" of titans stuck in m2 enabled us to do as we would anywhere we wanted..and we did. its fair to say that during the really big fights like m2, the fps was seriously lacking...1 frame every 20 seconds or so at times, but you do what you gotta do to have fights these days...especially the big ones.

Nono... (khm khm) "according to game rules, we won"

@@rickforespring4834 Whats the benefit of taking a region in a game like this? Why wage war of this magnitude of real world value?

@@QorvoAttano Good question. for me its simple....not about taking a region or glassing this place or that. when i began in eve, code was affiliated with goons. i started on a 21 day trial (thats the way you used to start in eve not alpha) and by the end of my first 10 hours or so, i subbed (subscribed) monthly and have ever since. shortly after that though, within a couple weeks, a code fartknocker ganked me in my new ship, a retriever that i had just built and then had the balls to try and extort from me! well i had no concept of game mechanics or that this was acceptable in eve, i only knew the rage i felt then and there. so the long story short of it is this. on my way to rage quit, i came across someone who told me to calm down, come with him to meet these guys he flies with and either join them or rage quit. that man was non other than void hawk. i obviously stayed in the game. next thing that stuck in my craw was when some higher muckymuck in goons made a public comment that went something like this " we're not here to ruin the game....we're here to ruin YOUR game". so fast forward to the war on goons in delve. i had just completed my first couple years in null and had a woppin' 100 kills on my zkill...almost laughable now right? i was headed to hisec to make sure all my stuff was secure and was going to take a few months (or a permanent leave of eve) off when my old ceo got a hold of me and asked if i wanted to kill goons with them. he further said we'd be going as an alliance of most of the alliances in eve against goons. so i said hell yeah! in 14 months of that war, my zkill went from 100 to 4400...all thanks to goons generously dying stupidly time after time after time. i'm not saying it was easy by any means. that kinda tidi will change most peoples minds about fighting. not me, i was in there whenever i could be and sometimes i shouldn't have been . lol the reason i say its a good question is, everyone has a different reason for wanting these types of wars. some people really get into the lore, some folks remember the old big fights like br-. some just want content, whatever that is. call a fight a fight...not content lol. what it actually came down to was goons had pissed off everyone else in eve and they all allied in the cause of bringing goons to their knees. at that we had success. but we couldn't manage killing off their last refuge which was the 1dq constellation. why not you might ask. simple, after m2 and what happened on that 2nd timer, we knew that ccp had no way to commit to having 20,000 players on one grid at the same time fighting. the wheels fell off ccp's best servers with just 8500 people on grid, ol' sparky would have had a heart attack if that fight had actually materialized. so ccp saved goons from extinction. will it happen again? maybe...who knows?

About the latter, it made me think about the infamous description sentence about WW1 : "The war to end all wars." Or in this case : "The battle to end all wars."

*click* 5 min later, modules activate.

@@AHigherPerspective in new I have only a sniper NAGA. Those capital modules... The enemy will work for deactivate them no? The wars continue for hours because everyone dont want someone else use his weapons. I saw something like nosferatus modules or caoacitor recharge. Electronic warfare is very dangerous. I lost 2 naga because of deactivated modules XD

Uhm, actually. Space cant have sound👆🤓

Should have grabbed a covops and some popcorn!

Considering how old some of these Titans were yeah. Pretty glorious.

@@AHigherPerspective Time to make more titans 😂 One of these days I'd love to come along and fight in one of these massive battles

@@AHigherPerspective Imagine all the records, history of this game...was found by other alien civilizations out there in our "real world" after our extinction or whatever and see this as... *Real*

I know, its unfortunate, but we saw what happened when we tried to cram 12000 system people into 1 system, it doesnt bode well for the attackers.

they were about to, but the problam was that all of goons were in the 1dq constelation, most of them in 1dq itself. test tried to take the constelation, but it was too laggy because goons would log in all their alts and undock and just stay outside station in tether with their fighters out to create lag. the only reason goons are still alive is cause of server limitations and cause of the patch that fucked TTT which ment that TEST income got severely reduced and they were relying on that to keep on with the war. I don't blame goons for playing the tidi game, but eve devs need to rethink the whole sov war because as it stands, it's pretty hard to kick out a big alliance fromt heir space. all they have to do is to baricade in a constelation and go farm with alts somewhere else.

@Saliddry shut up you sound pathetic, it just seems like you're one of those nine-year old gamers whose frigate got burnt and now dedicate the rest of your life to complaining,being a little shit and annoying everyone. Kapiche?

Is there any other sandbox mmo close to EVE Online? Everyone always talks about the ship battles, but the true beauty of the game is the industry and economy. Few items in the game are purchased from NPCs. Everything is largely player driven.

@Saliddry Sorry but you are clueless, most big alliances will give free ships to fly and fight with. We are not working for anyone so they can build themselves a titan , none of that. Maybe in goonswarm federation or initiative its the case you are funding the big boys but that's not the case in most places

biggest fights (unplayable). no thanks. planetside 2 can handle a hundreds of players and you can see them with 60fps

@@aenfeain hundreds

Hasn't really changed too much to be honest. If anything the super capital numbers are now on par. Not counting FRT supers.

Holy shit wtf are they fighting over?

@@zodiacfox355 TEST leadership announced that it is a “war of extermination” to “remove goons from the game”. And it’s still going on

@@Grievous_Nix peace was never an option

Whos wining?

@@Ilikeavocados123 in terms of territory - PAPI (Pandemic Alliance Please Ignore), aka the blue donut - they’ve killed most of our keepstars and captured most of our ihubs In terms of engagement, line member activity and morale - the Imperium. PAPI members are beginning to lose trust in their leadership, especially after the recent command discord leaks. PAPI still hasn’t paid out all the SRP for the titans that died in the M2- battle

Thank you for watching.

I heard some of the titans lost were literally 10 years old....and yes..the lag was horrible, the battle lasted from early evening all the way into downtime.

Merry Christmas and happy new year!

Thank you for watching! I appreciate it!

@@AHigherPerspective I just started this game because of this video. Kudos.

7? Wtf lol

I only know of one goon that lost even 2 titans in this fight. Yall have a LONG road ahead of Yall.

Yes I didn't mean that I lost the other 6 😂

Lmao. So even though you outnumber us 3 to 1, your 7 titans couldn't even the field you think you still have a chance? Wait till you take a real shot at 1DQ. It will be a fucking blood bath.

Pffft I don't do shit talks. Only low level people do that. I'm just in this cause I enjoy blowing shit up. Enjoy your kool aid man and have a good day.

Thanks for the update. It changed at least 2 twice as I was recording. I just had to pick a number lol.

:D had me going for a sec there.

Happy new year!

I don't think they are happy...

Numbers counting more than skill is called realism.

My pleasure!

The battle was fought to let Vily loot and salvage on his brethren's wrecks. This is how he gets his fortune.

The best!

Sorry hahaha, there was like 9 hours of footage to sift through.

Rofl

There is a learning curve that can invert into an overhang if you rush. Eve doesn't need to be rushed so don't worry if you don't understand stuff instantly, you will and it will be worth the effort. I promise that.

@@NeilBraun Hehe...thanks for the heads up! I go in knowing there is much to learn but it wont stop me! Thanks a lot!

I might actually use pew pew at m2 due to the sheer utter disappointment .... It'll be more of an analysis video than a cinematic one. Hope my viewers don't mind.

PEW PEW of M2 Redux tonight. be there!

People had to take time off work for this....so yeah, it can get pretty intense.

I had some serious consideration about this. Not sure if I want to move into a talk show format quite yet

so nc have been buying titans out of 1dq since we moved down. been getting really cheap titans and some claim to have been stolen from corp hangers (not sure how true). nc has replaced 90% of the hulls in staging already so we are good to go

@@michaelcross6714 Right ... just like GSF spy's funneled titans our way. Anyway .. good luck extracting that fleet tomorrow .. Have you checked the field lately ? Also just as I'm typing this, our pods are getting replaced/reimbursed (anyone who lost one ofc).

@@ArchonisRo I'm not sure what you are bragging about. we are getting srp as well my guy. fully fitted ship hulls and extracting? we plan to throw down tomorrow. that keepstar will die and then we will slug it out with the imperium until down time again. let's see if you guys have the stones to stay after the keepstar dies and not jump out just before hand ;)

@@michaelcross6714 This aged well ....

Unfortunately these battles happens at a slow pace, the footage is sped up like 900% here. So the comms are pretty scarce.

I was one of many many fleet commanders running one of many many sub-capital fleets during this, we played among us on our second screens in the command channel and I said about 1 thing every 5 minutes, its an 'I was there' kind of fun, not really fun at the time

Me too. I was really sad that I couldn't hear the Titan comms. It would have used that clip.

@@AHigherPerspective 100% my man spewing I left nullsec about 6 months ago. Real life happened. Dissappinted I couldn't have dropped my titan on the field here

This battle made history. I think it'd fair to say we all won here. :)

@@AHigherPerspective totally agree

I'm sure we will have another! I think the lesson was learned. Too bad it had to be a hard lesson for all.
