When shift-clicking was mandated by the new UI's first iteration, I posted frequently this year:

"What's next? With two shifts and a triple click, fireworks should shoot out of your exhaust!"

So if we're getting fireworks for Christmas, I'll be stoked!

Lol

Happy Holidays everyone. Best wishes.

There's already fireworks. Always been. Just launch a smartbomb in Jita 4-4 and see.

On behalf of the team here at CCP, I want to thank you for being the most incredible part of the EVE universe and wish a wonderful holiday season to you and yours.
Let me thank you in return for creating this incredible universe I can participate in. It's wonderful.

From me and mine, all the best wishes for the holidays and may you find rest and peace (Tranquillity you already have....).
You'll need it, 2013 is going to be a very busy year. Again....Big smile

Here I used to have a sig of our old Camper in space. Now it is disregarded as being the wrong format. Looking out the window I see one thing: Nothing wrong with the format of our Camper! Silly CCP......

CCP,

your plan to fix / update some of the old stuff is quite commendable.

However I feel you set the bar totally to it. Could we also get a new minigame or something every now and then?
Something like: patch 1 delivers new content, patch 2 fixes it and some of the other backlog.


Have a merry Christmas!

Just because every one has a bounty now, does not mean that you have introduced the new profession "Bounty Hunter"! Lol
The current system with bounty is exact the same crap as it was before Retribution. The only good idea is the particularly payment of bounties from players.

Stop the idea to be able to give every one in EVE a bounty! That is just silly!

Thank you for the gifts CCP. But I do not play since Retribution anyway! Accounts are cancelled. I will not activate them till I am able to do missions with my drones again and will not get bounty from every idiot who sees me an an official help channel!

i don't get posts like this - how does having a bounty negatively affect your time in-game??? it doesn't change your game at all if you never get a suspect flag because you're carebearing in highsec. since everyone has a bounty, who cares if you do or not... it's not the same game as before when having a bounty meant that you did something wrong in-game to someone.... christ, lighten up!

I know I'll come across as a whining 5 yearold but... no remap! WAAAAAHHHHH!!!

Anyway, Thanks to CCP for ruining my real life since 2005 to a point where life has become a whole lot cheaper and less crazy. Wouldn't want it any other way.

Yeah, my mates and I have been placing bounties on one another for ***** and giggles since Retribution came out. We live and operate in null-sec where killing / being killed by our opponents is guaranteed to happen, bounties or not.

This bounty system is a joke from the perspective of null-sec game-play.... and it is a transparent mechanism for CCP to fiddle with ISK availability and re-distribution.

On the topic of SNOWBALLS .. the least CCP could do is have refrigerators in the Captains quarters to stopthe damn things from melting all over the place [I still have wet-stains on the furniture from my previous years unused supply - sheesh!] Oops

I don't need eye-balls to see, I can see clearly in all directions without them.

Just to cover it again, if there's no remaps there will be plenty of unhappy children on xmas day.

I couldn't care less about collectable bollocks tbh, call me bitter, but it adds nothing. I realise that remaps are meant to be a once a year thing, and there's no real consequence if you are supplied with endless amounts of them, but at even 2 a year I think that's quite conservative. A year is a long friggin time to be remapped for Cha-Will !!!

I will be disapointed if we do not get a bonus remap option this year as well. I have one char that was really looking forward and depending on a remap available for Christmas gift. I will be a Grinch this year if we arnt going to have the option of getting one.

Thank you for a great expansion and these future gifts, but last week would have been better imo. The world is ending tomorrow.

It seems you are re-using the old snowball launcher, which has now been renamed to the festival launcher. This means that the previously rare snowball launcher is now going to be very common. The price has already crashed and people who collect rare items have lost a lot of money. Not good.

Also, are we getting neural remaps? Most of us have come to expect them as a Christmas present. If not, can you put them on the NEX store or something?



Actually, I am quite concerned about this as well. I have spent more than 2 billion ISK to get dozens of Snowball launchers so I can equip them on my rare ships. Now these snowball launchers will be available for less than 3 million ISK assuming the market makes sense.

Are the snowball launchers going to be different this year than those issued several years back? After all, your promotion did mention that we will be receiving "new launchers" for snowballs.

Could CCP please clarify on this matter?

Please do not disregard us, the collectors. Perhaps there are only couple hundreds of collectors being too attentive about these little changes, but still, we spent billions collecting these and they are about to be devalued to nothing. At least you could've warned us about this little presents.
