EVE Information Portal

I like this event.

Well, viewing things from the lore side, it is obvious that the empires still have something up their sleeves when it comes to sophisticated technology and it is true that they keep it from us capsuleers. But what we can benefit from this will probably be some new faction modules or even ships and the more we support our favorite faction the better their stuff will come out. After that we can use it at our discretion. So even the smallest contribution will matter.


I am using the opportunity to warn you: if the Sleeper code has gone crazy then we should all be prepared. What stops the Sleepers from jumping through the woormholes to K-Space? I mean - most of the wormholes lead to Anoikis right?

So better do the smart thing and prepare some ships with high omni tank.

So you want us to play along, yet you won't give us any info on what we're doing.

If you want to have your roleplaying events to pretend there is a backstory fine, but if your making changes, or introducing new tech to EVE, please make a non-roleplaying dev-blog for those of us that give 0 pucks about the storyline.

Example:
New Sleeper tech coming out. Donate these things to this guy to get your name on it and be first to get one. (insert name/type of mod, and a brief overview of it)

See how easy that is?

T3 Battleships, yay…! OK, probably not. But it's still wishful thinking...

Nah, the lore based scavenger hunt will probably be the only mention of this before it's implemented. I wouldn't expect them to release a dev-blog outlining the full details sometime between the end of the event and the launch of the next patchspansion.

Makes one appreciate comprehensive "outcome" lists in past "lives" :)

So when you are saying “faction” are you talking about “Faction Warfare”, “Faction Navy” or your race?

If this is related to Factional Warfare it will benefit a few that seldom use wormholes.

If you are talking about a Faction Navy should you donations be based on where you have rep or the one related to your starting race?

Will this tech have a race requirement and if so would I want to donate to the Navy of my race or to the Navy I have the highest rep with?

As there is nothing gated by your starting race right now many have higher rep with other faction’s navy. Where will my donations do be the greatest service?

Clearly I’m confused, can someone help me here?

So the timeline is as folows

1. CCP implement changes on Sisi making the WH crowd have a fit

2. CCP goes out with a blog explaining the changes... WH crowd still has a fit and tries to dissuade CCP from going through with the changes because they are not the droids they are looking for.

3. CCP turns the changes loose on production server. Large numbers of wormhole dwellers, especially the people in the lower classes start thinking about moving out.

4. Low end WH dwellers start moving out en masse.

5. CCP brainstorms... how do we get people back into WHs? Especially the lower ends which now are pretty much nothing but PI growing grounds?

6. Someone comes up with a brilliant idea. Lets give people a hint of something cool coming Soon (Tm) and in order to get it they need to collect as many sleeper yada yada yada as possible and turn them in... This will make people venture into wormholes, creating pew opportunities for recreational WH divers and then everything will be good again.

7. WH dwellers that moved out and does not want to live in nullsece BS politics cancel their accounts.

8. So lower end wormholes is depopulating. Server population is decreasing as canceled subs run out...

To me this feels more like a kneejerk, a last ditch desperate attempt at getting people back into wormholes before they end up completely empty.

1. Constant drops from CCP about player constructed gates.

2. Major nut kick nerf to jump distance.

3. Sudden interest by empires in sleeper tech that points to lore involving the sleeper/talocan jump gates.

Think the answer on what is coming is very clear.

Personally I am excited to compete!

Amarr Victor! :)

Amarrians can contain their enthusiasm with much ability - it only appears to outsides that Amarrians are constantly grumpy whereas infact we are almost giggling inside with glee, all from the position of the eyebrows.
