EVE General Discussion

I thought it was going to come out this month. When is the release date for it?

June.

Finally someone who thinks like me, I love you!

year?

good we had skins in this patch i was bored with 20mb "expansions"

They've been saying for I don't know, a couple months now that it would be June. It's nothing new and no surprise that it wasn't with this patch. Moaning changes nothing. Unless T3 re-balance has changed things they're still right on schedule so far as we know.

It will be released about 6 weeks after the last patch to not feature it's release.

Smaller more frequent patches does not mean they can magically work faster...

Devs please answer to quell this unrest!

All I know, is that the delay in the T3 releases makes the game horribly unbalanced, It's been almost 6 months since the confessor was released on TQ, and the Svipul was released just 6 weeks after that. Here's how CCP should have planned the releases. Allow the Research race to conclude, design all 4 new ships, and then release them 1 per expansion by who placed where. That way the perks of winning are still there, but the game isn't completely unbalanced for the next year. BTW, there's a reason, all 4 races have always gotten a new ship class simultaneously, it's to keep the game fair (at least in the mechanics department). There are a lot of purists in eve, my dad flies Gallente almost exclusively, I fly a variety (can fly my Svipul later tonight), but even though I'm not personally affected by the horrendous delays in the T3 Dessie releases, I know people who are.

On the one hand, I understand the frustration....CCP has never done a "staggered release" for a ship like this that I can remember- and there's got to be a fair amount of pilots who want to wait for their respective faction instead of cross-training.

And then on the other hand, you have players like me, who are heavily cross trained across the 4 main factions, and are not-so-patiently waiting to have all 4. ("All 4" as in all 4 for my main, and 1of each respective faction for each of my minor toons...)

I hate to break it to you though- with the current skill requirements for them (which are imbalanced compared to skills for other ships, btw) it only takes a couple weeks to train for T3Ds, and only takes a couple weeks more for the appropriate small weapons to put on them....you guys that are waiting could have cross-trained for Confessor long ago, and probably could have reached for Svipul by now too. Just be hopeful that they don't fix the skill requirements before they all finally come out. (because they really should be harder to train for than they currently are.)
