Down for almost 24 hours and still can't get it up? WHY is the client not ready? That's the real question. Then again CCP isn't exactly known lately for making good on their promises.

I bet if somer.blink called CCP HQ and demanded the mirror go online an hour ago you would have moved heaven and earth to make it happen.


It's a test server. I hear TQ is available for use

I saw that Duality was updated as well. Any particular reason or was it just because you could?

What I heard was people whining for 2 months about getting a new mirror and CCP saying "we'll announce it when we're ready". Fine. No problem with that. Then they take it offline for 22 hours and fool everyone into believing they're "working hard" to get the new mirror online Friday morning. Then.... nothing. Abject failure punctuated by periods of severe incompetence and mendacity with a dash of cheerleading pompom waving trolls bringing up the rear. Lazy or incompetent on CCP's part this morning? You choose, because it's one or the other.

Christ, you rarely see overdramatic tears when TQ is down for an extended period of time due to technical issues, let alone SiSi.


It's a test server, if you're expecting constant stability and high performance you're really barking up the wrong tree.

When your gut instincts tell you something is wrong, trust them. When your heart tells you something is right, ignore it, check with your brain first. Accept nothing, challenge everything.

That's not how the fundamental infrastructure of a business works, If somer called him personally that would of been overstepping Goliath's authority/duties. In a properly ran business the line of management isn't to skip two and fro if crap needs to get done. Everyone reports to a manager or lead and only one, sometimes focus groups do exist but there is a line, in turn a hierarchy that does not fold on itself to allow the higher-ups to interfere with the day to day activities of the salaried full-time employees.

Now CCP Habakuk stated that the build wasn't available yet, this means that it's out of his hands. So please do not sit here and complain to the CCP staff that make SiSi possible for us to screw with the new delicious updates coming out.

The amount of entitlement in your post. It's approaching Romana levels of annoying and raging.

Probably not, as confirmed by CCP Goliath on his twitter, we're going back to Odyssey to test things.

After Rubicon comes back, maybe.

It might. It depends on the team working on those changes we were told. Might be a forum post for it.

Singularity is now back online with the new mirror and the new build, which includes multiple characters in training.

IMPORTANT: The EVE launcher will try to start the client with DX11, which will result in a completely black client. Go to the settings in the launcher (small cog-wheel in the top right corner), switch to the tab "DirectX" and select dx9.

So.... we are going to ignore the critical problems with the expansion that is coming out in a month, and test some minor patch coming out to TQ? Why not just include these changes into Rubicon and keep us testing the rubicon content to prevent this expansion from being a disaster.

Are you serious? If so I feel sorry for you.

If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there.
