EVE General Discussion

It means every six months they change the log-in screen and music...


Oh wait, they stopped making log-in screens. I guess it was just too much effort.

I was wondering when the Goons would start crying about the Siphons. Screwing with your business model is it? Holding half of Null Sec suddenly becomes difficult when you need to actively be present in every single system you own, huh?

The patches have only really been patches since 2012 before that are some great ones.

Empyrean Age

Release date: June 10, 2008

Empyrean Age, previously named Kali 4, is the name of the ninth expansion of Eve Online and the last one in the Kali tetralogy. CCP has included Factional Warfare in this release. In this expansion the in-game story plays a key role and the situation in the game reflects events depicted in the novel of the same title by Tony Gonzales. The expansion allows both individual players and whole corporations to fight for certain NPC factions and battle for control of certain regions of space. Agents provide missions and objectives which alter player and corporation standings with the factions accordingly. This expansion was against the wishes of CCP Lead Game Designer Noah Ward and as such the Factional Warfare system saw no bug fixes, patches or further development until the release of Inferno in April, 2012.


Quantum Rise

Release date: November 11, 2008

The Quantum Rise expansion includes features such as a new certificate system that allows verification of a player's proficiency in certain defined groups of skills by other players and a medal system for awards by corporations. Industrial ships were rebalanced and optimized, with addition of the Orca-class ship, "a sub-capital logistical ship with a mining command focus." The staged delivery of the expansion began with the recent implementation of new technology such as StacklessIO and EVE64 which upgraded the server hardware and streamlined communication between server and client to reduce lag. These improvements provide performance allowing for player vs. player battles with thousands of participants. Further hardware and software improvements are planned. Other features of the expansion include further graphics updates as started in the Trinity expansion; the ability for players to group their vessels' weapons for easier interaction; changes to autopilot routes and avoidance of player-defined solar systems. This patch also brought a controversial overhaul of the speed system.

The older Expansions were just that Expansions, but since they got involved in WoD and Dust 514 and now EvE VR things just go down hill year after year.

Goons rumpflustered that they'll no longer be able to mine in peace in nullsec

Yet the goons will be the ones least effect by this change

That's just what goons want you to think

So what else can we do if we don't want to hurt the game more then CCP is doing now on their own?
And with that I mean not unsubscribing. What other option is left but mock on these forums with an apathetic CSM (not entirely their fault as it looks like they're no longer considered relevant and a stake holder).

Lets face it, CCP is like a 5 year old with a new toy. The newlines wears of quickly and the 5 year old cannot wait to trow its limited attention span onto the next new toy.

Because we're saying it won't.

That's as far as plebian analysis goes - if a goon says 1+1=2, then it must be a lie, and involve Goon Tears and Goon Rage somehow.

Expansion currently seems to mean expanding the IP to other games on other platforms.

i feel a little bit of sick in my mouth when i say this - but i am actually agreeing with a goon.. pass me the bucket..

i can see the new fleet doctrines of 200 sisters of eve cruisers, t3 cruisers will cease to be used.
can you image completely covert high dps cruisers in large fleet fights - holy ****.

before you could have a scout checking the hostile fleet location and when they warp, but now they gonna insta warp on top of you and you wont even know it!!

i do wonder of CCP designers ever even think about what they are doing
