[Combat Event] - Capetown Showdown

[Lythrilux]

It's not necessarily anyone's fault but the group limit completely screwed the Core side. It was a mess frantically trying to re-organise, and I did ask the Staff if we could have more time but the event was starting. Huge numbers like this are something Core has been able to deal with in the past, depending, but only because of paramount organisation. The lack of that meant we had no way of being organised during this. It was just a mess. As soon as I realised it was too late to properly organise our group I knew it was over. Though I do think it would have been useful for the Staff to have been more communicative, I did send several messages and didn't get a reply.

If the group limit is hardcoded, then events like this will need slots and limited numbers in future.

Otherwise honestly expected that the Core side would get dogpiled on. Usually we meet that with superior organisation but... yeah. Not a surprising outcome. Order has always been one of the most popular factions in the game especially compared to something non-vanilla like Core. Honestly I think this would have been better and more balanced without caps. There was an attempt to balance things but I don't think it was enough tbh. What mattered here at the end of the day was DPS, so additional Titan(s) didn't shift the balance. Oh well. Ce la vive. I hope this event can be used for talking points in future and a basis for better events.

I have no idea if I got any blues but I'm indifferent about event rewards. I already have a cool title B)
