Hi capsuleers!

I will be hosting a playtest on Singularity on Tuesday, August 11th @ 17:00 EVE time.
It will be smaller than normal masstests, as we do not need so many.

What exactly is being tested?
  • Defense of the Throne Worlds
  • Behavioral NPCs

    • How to connect to Singularity for this test:
    Read the Instructions at http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Singularity and read general instructions about mass tests at http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Mass_testing.
    Join the in-game channel "MassTesting"

    Test steps:
  • Meet in Kor-Azor Prime.
  • Fleet up into small fleets.
  • We will attempt several PvE sites together, instructions given by CCP Paradox.

    • What else should I know?
  • We will be moving players to the test system - join the channel massmoveme
  • 2M Skill points will be awarded on Singularity for this play-test
  • Please bring your best PvE ship, or ship you feel is equipped enough to take on Drifters.
  • Note that these sites will not give access to Capital ships, so Carriers or larger will not be used.
  • The 'Incursion' will be left to run its cause after the test.
  • I (CCP Paradox) will answer some, but not all details about the Incursion during the test.
  • You may want to move your clone to the system Kor-Azor Prime for this test, due to our podding friends the Drifters.

    • Known Issues:
    [*] Amarr Navy NPCs still have not got their fittings sorted, they will work it out soon Blink

    I have changed the system we will perform the test from Amarr, to Kor-Azor Prime so that players have full access to the test market.

    Question 1: What kind of pve are we talking, level 1-4 mission, level 5, DED 10/10, Incursion or class 6 relic/data site hard?

    Question 2: Can we be provided with some reasonable bling for this one test? (the blue, not purple kind)

    Question 3: Can I bring my Drake?

    1:Probably harder than all of those combined.

    2:I hope so, blues need to be seeded bad for l33t PvP fits to be tested.

    3:Yes, but the Drifters will kill you first.

    Thanks for your vote of confidence.

    The bling I was referring to was rooted in the incursion communities that tell you what kind of bling you need to put on your logi or Nightmares or vindis.

    oh, nevermind..

    You do not have to fly much at all. Type:

    /moveme

    in any chat, and you get a menu of systems. One is the test system. Select it, and the game moves you.

    Also:

    /copyships

    Puts copies of your ships into the null sec test system. You can move to that system as well with /moveme. So: you copy your ships, moveme there to get one, moveme back to the test system. Quick and easy way to go get a new ship when the drifters doomsday you.

    sry CCP i would if i could but i cant because of...

    Da die auf Schildwall vorhandenen Informationen nur einen minimalen Einfluss auf das Endergebnis der Neuspielererfahrung von EVE als ganzes gehabt hätten,habe ich beschlossen, die Informationen so zu belassen, wie CCP sie zu liefern in der Lage ist.

    Ok... very lethal. Which should make them a nice challenge.

    The ones who visit stations could become a major game-killer to people running their daily NPC stuff. But there was a real sense these drifters were conquering. Nice to see this shake up high sec a bit.

    Would it be possible to place the actual gate to the site a tad closer to the beacon though. It's still well within point range, etc. But it could become a major pain for armor fleets to just get going. Crawling 30 km doing 101 tops wasn't perhaps the experience that everyone would be aiming to emulate. Is there an actual game purpose for this gap when you arrive, with the beacon forcing your warp back to itself every time?

    It sure would have been nice to see this. I had horrible lag. For example:

    I hit warp. Nothing happens for over a minute, then I warp.
    CCP Paradox invites me to fleet. I accept, but by the time the game gets around to noticing I did so, the invite has expired. Result: I was not in the big fleet.

    So I never saw a site.

    The sites appear as beacons, so you can poke around them yourself if you so please. :x

    That said, right now the Drifter count is painful, and defense sites are a no-go as the NPCs appear to usually be dead by the time players get there.

    I had one Battalion site where the Amarr defenders were still alive, and more came in as reinforcements. They were destroyed within five minutes, but they managed to take two Drifters with them.

    Just a note as closure on this test, everyone was awarded SP. Thank you for joining us.
