Oh, you bastards!

Why did you destroy one of the Eve icons? The new Domi is horrible. It looks absolutely generic, like some instantly forgettable American hotrod car (they all look the same).

I did not mind the Mega, the Caracal, the Moa (good riddance) but why the Potato? Sad Sacrilege! On a pirate's island, the designer would get the black spot, probably directly from the Bible's page with Ezekiel 25:17

Phew!

Wish those stuck, the best of luck.
See you in space.

Same here - flawless updating, even with me playing on a Win10 laptop and WiFi connection. I am not quite certain that CCP is to blame for all that is not well in this world...

Hopefully things get sorted out eventually for all of you :-)

Nice shiny chrome on the new Domi, but I noticed that even though the Sin uses the new model it's ISIS icon is still the old model. Then when I switched to High-Q shaders to fully appreciate it and I changed back to Med-Q shaders while the preview window was open the game crashed.

I had to manually inject the patch into the launcher to get the game working. Prior to this, the repair tool did not fix the issue and leaving the launcher sit for a few hours didn't help.

Every time the launcher was opened it just sat at 0.0% and if you tried to close the launcher it would crash/not respond.

Again Tranquility becomes the mass test server because CCP fails in doing real mass testing and is just in this new were gonna push an update no matter what. Who ever is making these decisions is CCP worst enemy. Makes ya wonder if they were hired by some competitor to help ruin the game.

Wonder what the code changes were to get this patch to work properly.... finally

Obviously it wasn't tested enough if at all in the rush to deploy it...... that's good business...

Oh, I perfectly understand, Hal Morsh — a mission like this requires courage, skill, and heroism… qualities you are clearly lacking. Have you forgotten you're one of the bloody immortals!?

General feedback huh?

A few suggestions.

1. Quit using TQ as your mass test server. That's Sisi's job.

2. Fix the Launcher to work reliably, correctly, without Grey Bar of EverWait, wiggle the mouse to get your update, or scrap it and find another way to login AND update. (client.exe doesn't update, only play game)

3. Learn the actual definition of 'successful' and operate your Icelandic to unwashed masses Dictionary from that fresh start.

4. Fix bugs sitting on the list for months (if not years) to earn some cute credits from your paying customer base.

5. Moar shiny ship SKINs are nice, but not a failsafe to cover neglected promises to your paying customer base. (bannable offense glitch exploit list in one easy to find place, customized icons, open the door alright already or put a wall over it, expanding on racial missions and lore, putting back in the Region 'color text' descriptions that were accidentally removed (Ha! thought it was forgotten and you slipped by!) cleaning up the anti-user-friendly Corporation window, same for Planetary Interaction, etc.)

6. Slow the FRAK down on this fast track release cycle when what is coming out is so full of bugs it's a chigger convention.

7. The reason for a change, 'cuz reasons, is not a reason for change. Change should be for the good, not just because shiny.

8. Better response time to issues that are popping up, in a tone that's at least polite to your paying customers. I get that Eve is a harsh cruel place of Everyone Hates Me. But that might not be the best method to use Out Of Game for customer service. Hate on me (and others) ingame, not as a company interacting with their paying playing base.

I'm one of the lucky ones, managed to download update and login without threatening bodily harm to the Launcher. That's not a promising thing, when the squeaky wheel is the one getting to eat rocks and blast rats. Seriously, CCP you have a problem. Whatever is going on in your Icelandic minds, might want to do a rescache.exe on your planning and 'Vision!' and clean out some seriously corrupted files inbound on your future.

The new incursions...

Well, awesome to have another "enemy" and some new PVE content but... really ?

On SISI:
- 200k ehp battleship enters site
- gets locked
- drifters fire twice ( not DD, just normal guns ), ~10 seconds
BOOM.

If I do the same in a Sansha HQ site, it takes a while to die... they don't instalock and instapop...

--
Variant 2:
- Significant remote rep fleet enters site
- Ships start popping nevertheless
- Everyone dies
- Nice display of 30-40 battleship wrecks

- Variant 3:
MJD - Pointless, they hit perfectly at any range
Speed tank - Pointless, their guns don't miss
Attempting to neut them - No effect
Jamming - No effect
Damping - Completely pointless, drifters still have instalock and infinite range

--
Doesn't anyone in CCP think that it's just a bit too extreme ??

Even if there's some kind of a "trick" which we still have to discover, there's no chance of applying the trick if you die as soon as you exit warp.
And people thought that the occasional 2 BS's on a gate were "tough"... right.

Thank you so much for redesigning the eyesore formerly known as the space potato! Looks so much better now :)

I'm sure there's going to be a lot of haters, but there's also a lot more who love the new redesign. Awesome work, and it even has a visible drone bay this time, too. :)

TL;DR If you didn't read the entire post perhaps you're probably ADHD. (seek help)

Is it just me, or are the new Moire effects on PI annoying? It may improve visibility of the heat map (not sure, it may be a little better), but it is very distracting.

For those who have still problems with patching (we fixed something around 13:00): You could try as workaround to download the client installer from http://community.eveonline.com/support/download/ and repair your old install with this.


Are we supposed to download a multy-GB game EVERY SINGLE PATCH?!

Because EVER PATCH has this exact same problem with the patcher.

Drop flash, and write a proper patcher that can do it's job without needing you to hover your mouse over it, or needing to restart it 10x, repair 3x, and eventually stop out of frustration because the problem is the servers not having upload capacity, but the patcher is too stupid to handle the exception.

FC my launcher patched correctly 1st time no issues (you just have to be patient, if it seems stuck on creating patch 0% or downloading updates 100% you just have to wait... don't be impatient it will finish correctly if you just give it some time).


Also, biggest change:
"Ships fitted with an Entosis Link can no longer accelerate beyond 4000 m/s."

I am running windows 10 and yesterday it patched just fine, I even played the game for a while.
Today I try to start the game but it is stuck at "Initializing..." for 15 minutes now.
I tried to restart 3 times and even rebooted my PC.
