[Unofficial Event] Deathrattle | RM/MND/RFP+Bundschuh+Dragons/GMG vs Corsairs/UN

[Lord Caedus]

As you guys saw, the corsair side got decimated despite number parity (~28 non-sairs vs ~27 sairs at the start) as well as the supposed corsair skill stacking on the caps. Next time, I hope I will be more trusted with event balance. I wanted to add even more corsair slots, but I was afraid that the other sides wouldn't sign-up because they would perceive the event as a stomp.

To be clear, while it's always possible that this was yet another snowball, I think people were forgetting two factors when complaining about the sides:
1. Any side which must go back and forth through jump holes will be split. The new patch will alleviate some of this with 4 slots per hole, but it will still remain.
2. Any side which must defend multiple objectives in a nebula is hard-pressed, because they must keep them in range, but also not get out of position during the fight. This is essentially impossible.

In summary, corsairs were significantly disadvantaged in this event mechanically, which is why their side had more people and was slightly heavier. I hoped even more would log, but there's only so much I can do in terms of organizing.

In any case, I hope everyone had fun, and stay tuned for the outcome write-up, as well as the rewards!

The Corsairs didn't do themselves any favors by jumping in to fight in 13 first, then doubling back for the fight in 15. Also the nebula was not enjoyable to fly in from a cap standpoint, made it almost impossible to aim.
