"Inferno" will be released in multiple patches. The first one is Escalation to Inferno on 24 April. The second is Inferno 1.0 on 22 May. There *might* be a third one later but nothing has been confirmed in terms of dates or exact content, but it would be things that don't make it into the 22 May release.

The list on http://community.eveonline.com/en/inferno/features/ is the content of the first patch, Escalation to Inferno. Many of these things will have a significant impact on the game.

In addition I would direct you to this devblog http://community.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&nbid=28603 and make a note that CCP karkur is currently writing another devblog on things that will be included in Escalation to Inferno, which are not (or at least not yet) listed on the feature page.

Let's not speak of Incarna, all we got was a broken door from that expansion from what I remember.

these are just for escalation patch, the actual expansion will be more feature-rich


dunno why ccp even tries to convince us these micro patches are expansions tbh. it got embarrasing over a year ago with incarna..
why not just keep 'expansion' for actual content updates not these band aid non-entity releases.

Well if you piled all the "Micro patches" together it'd be a full expansion, but would you really want CCP to do that? The game would **** itself inside out like it use to.

I lied :o

I'd prefer them to give me a couple small somethings new every 2 weeks than to have to wait until May/November to get new features.

With small cycles, something can be put out and tweaked a few times, before the developer is sent off to the new project. Look at hybrids or the T2 gang links. They were introduced and changed a couple times already. After the ship rebalancing and a few more tweaks, things should start looking really good.

Citation? I couldn't see it on the escalation notes and I would really like to know if the skill changes are on the April 24th or May 22nd patch as I am currently training Battlecruisers 5 now.

The change isn't coming on the 24th or maybe for a quite a while yet, as CCP Ytterbium said in another thread they want to redo the destroyer battlecruiser lines before making the change.


CCP Ytterbium wrote:
There are two conditions needed before we split the Destroyers and Battlecruisers skill in four:


  • We need to overhaul destroyer and battlecruiser ships themselves. Cutting your ability to fly those ships by four without taking care of the underpowered hulls is a no go, because that would mean new players going for one racial line would have a hard time having valid options in these two classes.

  • We need to have a very solid skill reimbursement plan set in stone. Most likely, we would take care of the Destroyer and Battlecruiser skill refund in one move to be done with it and avoid the same inconvenience twice for our playerbase.


So no, to my knowledge skill changes are not coming in April; what we are most likely going to start with is to have a look at the tech 1 frigates and cruisers, then move up as time passes, but nothing is fixed yet.

We will do our best to let you know in advance if the skill changes are due for a specific release.

So reading that quote between the lines suggests that if I train destroyers and battlecruisers to 5, I won't simply be given all the new racial skills to 5 when the changes come in. It sounds as if people will be reimbursed the skillpoints for the general battlecruisers and destroyers skills and then have the option to decide which racial skill they want to put their points into.

Would be nice to have some clarification.

They stated quite clearly that what you can fly today, you'll be able to fly after the changes.

When CCP implements new stuff: "You guys should focus on fixing what is broken! We dont need new stuff, we need the current things to work!

When CCP nerf/buffs/balances/improves existing stuff: "Thats it?"

Ah, thank you for all the wonderful posts clarifying the issue. It appears I was incorrectly jumping the gun on a slightly misleading feature overview. For those concerned that I do not see the impact of the balancing adjustments, worry not for that is clear to me and I approve the implications of those changes. What had me worried was that although these are much needed adjustments, they do not suffice to my expectations of a full seasonal expansion. Frankly, some of these items would take little work to implement relative to some of the additive content experienced in crucible.
