There will be somewhere soon to better explain what the event is about, what combat sites are involved: "Capsuleer Day Clash In addition, to commemorate the anniversary of the birth of Capsuleers in New Eden and earn goodwill with the independent pilots of the cluster, CONCORD, the Empires and Upwell are preparing a series of gifts for Capsuleers. However, a large-scale attack from the Triglavian Collective against their joint production and research facilities threatens to disrupt the celebration! CONCORD is requesting that Capsuleers seek out these besieged facilities in order to drive away the Triglavian forces and claim extra gifts. There will be Capsuleer Day Clash event sites available from 7 May to 20 May throughout New Eden, restricted to allow Battlecruisers only, with more advanced sites all over Lowsec, Nullsec and wormhole space. Rewards will include new SKINs, limited time cerebral accelerators, limited time standings boosters and special limited time 10 pilot Needlejack Filaments! " ---

“CONCORD is requesting that Capsuleers seek out these besieged facilities in order to drive away the Triglavian forces and claim extra gifts.” So does anyone have an idea as to how many ships will be besieging at one time? Can this part be soloed or is it fleet work? ---

> [@Shipwreck\_Jones](#): > > I doubt it. The 2 week login campaign for newbros has run concurrently with special login campaigns in the past. So, I’d imagine that the trash campaign will run concurrently with the birthday campaign. I mean, it’s either that, or no one will be able to collect the one reward that is worth anything (the SP) from the trash campaign. Or… and hear me out here… … they continue the SP meter down at the bottom as the current campaign turns into the 17th birthday campaign. but the gifts in the actual crates become actual, permanent, item (or ship) hangar redeemable presents instead of the auto-inject drugs and skins of the past week or so! :::fingers crossed::: ---

I hear ya, man, but… we did just have Guristas and Angel events at the usual time of year, so it’s not like it’s superseding anything that normally goes in the May time of year… if anything, rogue drone events were sometimes in June? They were mostly meh anyway.

The daily click login campaign can run concurrent and separate from an actual in-game event, where we have to shoot stuff to get loot. I was expecting the anniversary event to be aimed at more experienced players; what is surprising is how tough the Gurista egg hunt sites turned out to be. Destroyers and frigates? That restriction alone doesn’t make the site balance new player friendly; you had to have a good fit and fly it well to succeed. ---

> [@DeMichael\_Crimson](#): > > Sooo, BattleCruisers only entering these sites. Must not have been enough ships destroyed in the last event. Obviously Newbie’s and Industrial type players will be excluded from this again. battlecruisers are still fine for industrials and relatively new players, as long as event doesn’t require close to max skills. ---

Question is: in relation to the “Show Daily Gifts on login” checkbox, do you still need to redeem the gifts the get the SP, or will logging in accrue the SP automatically? @CCP_Dopamine ---

Destroyers and frigates? That restriction alone doesn’t make the site balance new player friendly; you had to have a good fit and fly it well to succeed. I expected the Anniversary Event to be split up into 3 sections = easy, medium and hard. That way all players can enjoy the event. I agree about the last event, it was not user friendly for newbie’s or average pilots despite being set up for Frigates and Destroyers. In my opinion it was more in line with level 4 missions, especially with all the Ewar effects and multiple waves happening. Definitely a lot tougher than the Level 3 Pirate Epic Arcs. In my opinion the past 3 or 4 events have all had advanced level NPC’s, content basically designed for high skilled experienced players using top line equipment. ---

Restricting the event sites to Battlecruisers is not newbie friendly by any measure, especially for Alphas (not exactly encouraging them to upgrade to Omega now are we?). And yet again it’s all about the Triglavians, whose introduction was one of CCP’s biggest mistakes ever in my opinion (along with mutaplasmids). So many of us are sick and tired of Triglavians. So many of us weren’t happy when they were released (neither ships nor rats nor lore) and we most certainly are not happy with virtually all new PVE content being Triglavian-centric. Sure, I’m not speaking for everyone and I might not even be speaking for the majority, but I represent a significant chunk of the player base by saying this. CCP has no shortage of neglected factions to choose from that they could have brought to light and made more accessible to players, but they insist on overemphasizing Triglavians to a greater extent than even T3Cs were ever grossly overemphasized over T2Cs. Enough. With. The. Triglavians. ---
