[2021] The Grand Heist - In Testing

We have released information about the upcoming The Grand Heist update that will introduce the keys necessary to access the riches accumulated in the ESS Reserve Banks! The changes are available for testing on the Singularity Test Server right now, so go and check them out for yourself and make sure to let us know what you think about it in this thread after.

The anomalies themselves are not live on Singularity. We are adding some ESS Reserve Bank keys into the redeem queue, so you should see them upon login to the test server.

The payout should be vastly greater than 15 million ISK.

How many players did you have in the ESS? The number provided is divided equally by all players.

The numbers provided to the CSM were much higher.

In regards to the payout:
Current setting in Singularity don’t reflect TQ settings.
The payout system is designed in a way that we can quickly make changes.
This should be demonstrated shortly when the expected initial TQ settings are applied to singularity!
You should expect a max payout per tick of around 150mil.

Looking forward for your feedback!

The initial values were much lower due to testing. The values you see on the keys now should better reflect the intended figures.

That being said, we’re still gathering feedback and the values may change before the update is live on Tranquility

You’re absolutely right on the values, the initial values on the test server were from a previous testing phase. They’ve been adjusted to better reflect the intended values

There is no intent to change this mechanic for the time being.

Everybody got 8 each!

I’ll look into re-seeding some more on Monday. We may also add a bunch of ISK to the reserve banks on Singularity also for testing purposes as they’re getting emptied faster than I expected over this weekend.

Thanks for this - we’re still tracking down some issues around the Early/Peak/Late payout caching.

If you have reported bugs on Singularity with the report tool (press F12) then we should be able to get the information we need to resolve this.

I will forward these to our engineers.
