You might want to create some sort of a filter for the news box. I don't think this qualifies as a front page news Lol

Just posting to state that the Pilot Orientation video is AWESOME. Shocked

I already attempted to enrol all the potential players I knew with the 60 day trials, but otherwise I would be handling them this video without a doubt.

This video just made me feel proud about EVE, something i haven't experienced often in the last months. Lol

PS: make it high definition,PLEASE!!!

That you even found the FAQ :S, it should be named in the top menu's, or the drop down, there is a lot of valuable information in here! > http://www.eveonline.com/faq/

Maybe also good to add a manual download button on this page > http://community.eveonline.com/en/crucible/, or a link to the patches.

I gave up after visiting most links I could find, and eventually googled my way into it :-(

Ship spinning is just lights also, firefox 10, linux.


damn you linux users, insisting on using apps that are not native to your operating system. the arrogance. :)

...but then I realized that you guys can keep your s*it. I'm not going to invest single dime to this game any more before neocom, names and website including the forums are restored to the point where usability is at least on same level than it was before.

CCP did great in crucible 1.0 and many teams have been shining after that also. It is really sad that there is so many rotten apples in CCP still. You guys ruin the quality of the work which those other guys started to raise the bar. There has been too many disappointments in a row now. Feel free to hate me because I feel pretty much the same towards you. Couldn't care less about your future. I hope you get replaced.

Thing is that CCP tries to make face lift to get more people to play eve. Good luck.

Truth is that changes like these does not change the fact that game is even more harder to play than earlier.

Now you have to make your own link page to get all important data to easy access.

1. Learn to code html !

When you enter in game you have to

2. adjust neocom

3. disable/enable lot of features from settings (welcome pages, session timer, some warnings, camera shake etc...)

4. window positions , chats etc...

5. then you undock, and you have to setup overwiev setting, lot of different ones depending what you are going to do.

6. fix module positions for your ship (if you do that usually)

That is all what you have to after you are really ready to play this game after new install without settings saved/imported, every patch brings more and more things you have to adjust before you can play.

I do agree that new websites are modern ones with lot of adds and without actual content, same than watching TV-shop channel.

Some changes would be nice example area for actual data is really small , it does not matter how big display you have area is fixed, approx 15% of my display area and i have medium size display, so now if i want to read something i have to scroll a lot , maybe ccp has not noticed that screens are going wider, not higher.

Just posting as an FYI.

When I LIKE the new pilot orientation video -> http://www.eveonline.com/creations/videos/3320/cdia-pilot-orientation/ and post it to facebook, it is instead linking it to the Empyrian Age teaser 2 video.

Not sure if the links are messed up on any of the others.


Thanks! Fixed it.

From being a functional site for the players, it has now become a 99% advertising site for the game Question

Then use the communtiy site that was also released or Evegate. All my bookmarks still work I never went to eve main any way. Twitter has any news posts before they get there any way and any devblogs have a dev forum post as they go live so all is good in my book.

If i dont know something about EVE. I check https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/ISK_The_Guide

See you around the universe.

Under Explorer...Artefacts. Cheeky Brits!

But really:

No entry for a Scout or Logistics

I know there are a lot of other roles, but I think you could actually have a pretty solid write up of these two.

More as I fully explore this site. I'm loving the map functionality and ship spinning (complete with engine trails!)

This needs fixin, one role is something a 1 day old noob can do, the other is something to strive for and compels the "healer" classes of future player.

That is actually the plan and I've noticed that we may not have managed to publicize our web strategy widely enough.

EVE needed a website that shows off EVE. Gives an instant glimpse into EVE. Instantly takes hold of the imagination and that sense of adventure that propelled us oldies into the game a long time ago. We need to reach new EVE players out there and help them realize that they belong in our universe. EVE has need that for a long time and she finally has it.

The old main site was a mixed bag of everything and nothing. It had something like 1020+ unique pages I was told, and I have to admit that after 9 years of working here, I still caught myself not finding stuff on occasion (maybe it was just this darned dev bar blocking my view...but I think I wasn't the only one who had some trouble with the navigation).

My opinion (your's may vary) is that the new Community site is a huge upgrade in terms of hosting easy-to-find resources for existing players and staff, although all of us here are fully aware that there is work to be done yet. This is an interim site while we build a completely new community site that will consolidate these resources and do absolute justice to the needs of info hungry pilots.

We've gotten a lot of good feedback and tips so far and they will be of great use moving forward. So keep it coming!

If only players would have read the devblog before commenting... It clearly says that showoff site will be published first, new community site later.

So far I like the new site, but had some minor problems when trying it on Android (ICS) using Google Chrome or default browser: I'm unable toplay the embedded videos. I'm shown some video control hints (like a playback bar), but they won't interact (just like static images). Also, on Chrome I don't see the "old browser" hint, yet WebGL isn't supported. Everything fine when accessing the page from Windows.

PS: The subtitles for the new YouTube video (getting started video) seem to be using the wrong timing. At least the German ones start right the moment the video starts - not when the actual talking starts.

Looking for more thoughts? Follow me on Twitter.

If the new community site was usable, it would have:
-> eve gate on top bar
-> traditional links to all content on narrow left column
-> most content opening to right column, including the forums, account management and support.Sites like Evelopedia which have own links on left column should open to own tab/window but still have the link available.
-> minimal borders
-> (customizable and) removable background image
-> no drop down menus what so ever.

Obviously something this would be too much to expect. 8 sites is much more cooler.

The new interim community site yes, the final one we'll spend most of the year building probably...nope :)

Bounty Hunter... really?

Are you not just going to disappoint hopeful people with the complete lack of any substantial bounty hunting features? Maybe save for later when there is an system that actually works (or is that never)?

EDIT: Oh I see now that "Bounty Hunter" actually means "mission junkie". I guess my reminiscence of ACTUAL bounty hunters for a moment confused my mind.
