Fireworks!

I daydream about things I would love to see in eve, or a game in general. Eve keeps implementing those things. Granted my daydreams contain a few orders of magnitude of additional stuff. If I wasn't poor, I'd throw more money at eve.

Can we wear the Boots.ini? Blink


You, no. I tried to make them for both guys and girls but couldn't make it happen. They will however be able to be worn by female capsuleers.



What's Boots.ini - is this something to get new Shoes?!!!!1 How do I do it :) Tell meeeee

Did they say this HAVE to be on launcher hardpoints?

The last ones just needed a hislot. Does this mean I cannot fit this to my Tristan? :(

Kestrel swarm it is, then.

Can't wait to dual box my Dust toon and EVE toon on the same machine!

Thanks CCP for the gifts. But one question:
If the firework will end in an response of CONCORD if I am not in war / they are not a suspect, and I do not have a limited engagement with them.. how do I fire this firework the normally way? What?

Do I have to wait till a suspect person crosses my way? Lol

CCP meant that if you fire back with a normal, damage doing weapon you will get CONCORDed. If you fire back with the festival launcher, no issue.

Much love to CCP for all of this.

Can I have a BPO for the key to open the door pretty pretty please?


Maybe. Maybe not. Suppose there is still some surprise to be had. :)


I promise you my first born if this happens. Blink Or someones first born at least. Twisted

Dont do it (the first born part). The BPO bill of material calls for a Villard wheel, an item not in the game. So you cannot actually make the key.

Unless CCP adds Villard wheels.......

Im surprised you could not have both boots.ini (female) and boots.ini (male).

To everyone: Last time we had snowballs shooting a station caused it to fire all its sentry guns in random directions. I have yet to test this this year.... anyone?

It is important to note that unless we specifically specify nothing is guaranteed to be exclusive. We may end up handing out these same gifts again at a later date. There are no plans to as it stands, but we may.


Thanks for the quick answer. So, you may at some point in the future give out more T2 BPOs? Or more tournament ships? You can see why we would want some confirmation of the uniqueness of these items, or it becomes very risky to collect them.

Personally I will be collecting this year's snowballs, launchers and fireworks. Especially now they won't melt :)

Iskflakes CCP released snowball launchers more than once and never claimed they were going to be limited, one release items.

T2 BPO's have been clearly announced as never being released again, and tournament ships specifically state that they will only be given out as prizes for that one specific tournament.

I'm not being catty, I just think they have spelled things out pretty clearly on those particular items.

What I'm concerned about are the ships in different corporate colors that are being given out with certain promotional offers. The wording on those is a bit ambiguous and I'm going to be irritated if they are never available otherwise.

This may be the only negative post in the thread, but I'm not happy with these festival launchers. A lot of us spend time collecting rare items, and some of us had stockpiles of snowball launchers which were worth large amounts of ISK. Now suddenly they're worthless, billions lost. I know reimbursement is impossible, but could you take more care in future to not destroy collections like this? The festival launcher could have been introduced as a new item, as they've been out of circulation for several years, and nobody would have LOST money at Christmas time. I am happy you kept the snowballs separate though, very happy. Will festival launchers be a unique item now, or are we at risk of having them appear next year?

Is there anything wearable for male avatars?

I know how you feel i had a BPO's for anaconda and python mines When they removed them from the game
granted you couldn't make them anymore anyway but it was a nostalgia thing
still Alas they disappeared never to return and no compensation was ever given

•Q) What are the fitting requirements for the Festival Launcher?
•A) 1 CPU, 1 PG, and an open launcher hard point.

Thanks CCP for the awesome Xmas gifts. Very cool. I hope to be able to display them in my CQ someday.

Speaking of which - was that a little Easter Egg hint I saw from you about the key actually unlocking something???

Could it be....?

IF so that would be fantastic. We have been overdue for some CQ expansion and possibly NEW clothes! The art department in EVE has so much love to give! Lets see their work! :)

TBH im disappointed in ccp so called festive gifts for the amount of time and effort ( not to say costs i.e subs) i think they could have dont alot better in the reward stakes, i know i'll be in the minority in this but hay im still here after 6 1/2 years, but next year ccp do better than snowballs and fire works,it may impress the plebs but not this pilot.

Firstly, thank you for the gifts and another great year.

Secondly, WHY THE **** did you have to get rid of the old snowball launchersQuestionAttention You alluded that the answer would be in the dev blog, but then nothing. No technical or logistical reasons for ruining a perfectly good collectors item that some people have had for years. WHY were you not able to release this new festival launcher as a *GASP* new item - leaving our old launcher alone - is beyond me. If you messed up(and fixed!) the Ishukone Special Edition Shirt then you can fix this too...

Nothing like having something stolen from you for Christmas.

Reading this blog is much more entertaining if you have met FoxFour in person and can picture his excited voice saying all this in about 30 secs, with a look of glee on his mischievous Elvish face. :-)

It would totally rawk if we can find BPCs in hacking sites or something for the snowballs and fireworks to keep the festivity going all year round.
