I bug reported already. Until we get a new client build we are out of luck.

Edit:

For those lucky few that are on.

What has changed?

Nope. I logged on to an account that's active on Duality, and all I see is empty space. I tried docking and I just get a picture of empty space. None of the ship previews are working for me either.

I wish I had re-activated my account days ago, it seems I missed all the juicy stuff. ^^

Yeah, the current client on Duality is pretty broken. We are closing the server till we get a better client.

Bad Paradox, Bad! ;)

CCP Greyscale: As to starbases, we agree it's pretty terrible, but we don't want to delay the entire release just for this one factor.

Duality will stay closed for the weekend, as next client build is also broken. More updates on Monday.

So let me get this straight....

First build on Duality had huge holes in it.
2nd build, which is the current one, is "pretty broken".
And the 3rd build, which appears to have been tested in-house, is "also broken".

And you guys expect to go live in 32 days.......

I am just re-reading CCP Goliath's comments to me in another thread and am smiling, actually giggling.

I will say it again, there are way way too many moving parts as Retribution is designed today.
These are the things that I can think of off the top of my head:

1. New NPC AI, or rather some port of the Sleeper/Incursion AI.
2. Another overhaul of FW.
3. Crimewatch
4. Bounties
5, New HUD.
6. 40 plus hull overhauls
7. Some little thing called Dust???

Please, please, slow down. Don't try to implement all this at once.
Surprisingly, people are likely more forgiving if you say "hey, we bit off more than we can chew", as opposed to releasing code with untested, potentially disastrous combinations

You have no specific facts, based on any kind of reality, to draw the conclusions you are.
Except that Duality is buggy and you're demonstrating the typical modern day prophesying from afar attitude of internet know it alls.

Now how bout something more specific and constructive Dinsipoo.

Duality is open again for the next days.

Known issues:
* The inventory window is broken for ships with ship maintenance bays.
* Belt NPCs are on strike and refrain from attacking players. Bear

It seems that the little blinking lights on the Maller have opted to stop being a fitting yellow shade for Amarr, and instead a garish, ghastly Gallente green.

My world is flying apart as we speak.

Other hulls are featuring the green color on their antennae as well.

Things I have found so far;

'Reload All' is still not working for missiles

I have my ‘items’ and ‘ships’ merged with the ‘station services’ panel, in the ‘items’ window I keep all my ‘stuff’ in containers. Double clicking or shift clicking a container fails to open it the only way to open a container is by using ‘right click’, select and click ‘Open Container’
However if I open the inventory window from the Neocom I can open any container by dragging and dropping it, shift clicking, double clicking etc.

As before I’m sorry but I still don’t like the new warp sound it really does need the ‘speed up whoosh to sonic boom’ the same as TQ now.

Also there seems to be a change made to the gate jump sound, on my system (5.1 surround sound, via on-motherboard chipset), the sound has a hollow, drainpipe sound and has a noticeable ‘noise burst’ as the jump completes.
This sound like some others still cause a substantial FPS drop (60 fps to 17 fps) when the sound starts and during the sound duration when the sound changes.

After a 1.5 Gig download (update from TQ client to Duality), I really expected a better experience than I got, I think my old teachers would have written in my report book, ‘well done but must try harder’ Blink.

This is just great, you put up the server for a limited time, then don't reactivate the accounts so we can't even go on... clap clap

Really no idea what this testing period is supposed to be for. Perhaps I missed it, but I don't see any updates from the devs saying they actually implemented new code. Perhaps it was just new ships, or things I've simply missed, but it would be nice to have a simple changelog from CCP telling us what changed.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

Its a stable build with minor changes from the first build. Stuff like target icon changes what gets what type of icon and when and some ship balancing tweaks.
Getting CCP to produce a change log wont happen. Asking devs on duality what changed some times gets a response. Next build should have the next batch of big changes.

Yes, I realize they won't do it, as Goliath has said it's a waste of his time to inform the testing public what it is they are supposed to test. I've tested on many games, as I'm sure others have, and never had so many obstacles to testing placed in the way. Other games seem to go out of their way to make testing almost enjoyable, but the harsh cold EVE has to make even testing a grief filled environment.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.
