So, Why did they waste time creating this site, when none of the things for the next release that have been announced since fanfest have been loaded onto it. In fact, it hasn't changed since fanfest.

So who is supposed to update it?

It already has information about the latest release (Scylla), as well as multiple things that are yet to come (new SKIN system, new sov mechanics, 2-factor authentication, new starmap).

I guess the changes to structures are not yet polished enough to put them up there.

So yeah, i think it is fairly well maintained?

That's a great idea! And we could have links to the more important threads in Gneral Discussion too. I mean, is it really an update website without a link to the cybersex thread? I mean, allowing in-game prostitution is a big update if that happens.

And the ships and modules section really moves fast on updated fits for new and balanced ships, so we should have some of those too. Plus features and ideas because that whole forum is just about updates.

You know, come to think of it, it would be super cool if there was one place people could go to find out all the details of all the potential updates and talk/argue/complain about the changes. If only we had forums for that kind of thing . . . .

I honestly feel like I just read fifty shades of dumb. --CCP Falcon

Fozzie SOV is up as a dev blog, that is a main focus at the moment.
Structures are more in concept stages without much to report.

Nothing else really coming up. Make hay while the sun shines. Winter is coming. (Well summer but yeah)

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

Must be the dry season of game development.

Once upon a time the Golem had a Raven hull and it looked good. Then it transformed into a plataduck. The end.

I can be wrong but I think that site is more as a library of things that have happened/changed in EVE.
Not what's about to change.

It'll be updated as we put out Dev Blogs for the next release, which will start to occur back end of this week and next week.

Patience is fine, I guess it is just weird to have this new site setup to keep track of what is coming or has been, and then finding out you need to wait for the devblogs, why not just redirect the site to the devblogs part of the community site.

Also, when did the devblog come out about the two factor authentication? that's on the site and I swear it hasn't had a Devblog.

Seagull said that it was for upcoming features as they were announced, like rebalancing the t3 destroyers has, or nullsec ore changes, or details about constructing the entosis link modules.......

Thanks for all you are doing, it just seems that this site got a bit forgotten in the aftermath of Fanfest, or are you suggesting that the brief overview that the Updates site provides now has to wait for the detailed DevBlog before being updated rather than just the announcements of the upcoming feature?

A troll, who would have thought here, the forums contain all sorts of useless ****, most of your posts I would Imagine, but what he is suggesting here, if you can wrap your miniscule intellect around it, is to provide quick access from the update sites to the locations peopole can provide the feedback, you know, that stuff CCP want.

Can you please put the old (pre-Kronos) releases in the features archive too?

There are no links to the according sites in the "CREST API: Yearly Character Stats" description.

It's a subdomain to put confirmed updates that are coming, and changes implemented.

Not a place to just throw every open discussion currently taking place up; that's what the forums are for. 2 different audiences.
