| 8s | hello fan fest |
| 11s | i'll give you a few seconds to sit down |
| 16s | who was at the pub cult tonight last |
| 18s | night |
| 19s | [Music] |
| 21s | special shout out to capital fusion |
| 24s | who i was hanging out with |
| 25s | see you |
| 27s | and steve veronica are you here |
| 30s | uh here's the two trunk |
| 34s | and |
| 35s | the abyss watchers are you here |
| 38s | no |
| 40s | i see you |
| 43s | all right let's get this started |
| 46s | so something i heard yesterday was |
| 48s | what's the living universe |
| 50s | and |
| 51s | it's basically everything that players |
| 53s | experience after the academy the academy |
| 55s | is a runway into the living universe so |
| 58s | and we're constantly improving that |
| 60s | but |
| 60s | at the same time we have to release |
| 62s | stuff into into them into the wild and |
| 64s | and |
| 65s | it might be easy to think about highsec |
| 67s | lowsec |
| 68s | uh nullsec it's not that simple you're |
| 71s | not a new player in hisec so |
| 75s | i'm going to |
| 76s | quickly go through this because i assume |
| 79s | people have seen the keynote |
| 82s | so if you're not |
| 83s | you'll have to watch that and then watch |
| 85s | me tomorrow |
| 87s | so heraldry is a way for both players |
| 89s | and corporations to display what they |
| 91s | want others to see |
| 93s | this is something we've talked about |
| 95s | promised seen concepts before and |
| 98s | we're all excited about it super excited |
| 100s | about it |
| 101s | and it opens up customization like uh |
| 104s | beyond belief |
| 109s | uh and a fundamental drive for that is |
| 111s | the fact that it has to be earned like |
| 113s | it can't be bought it's not plex it's |
| 115s | not risk you have to earn it |
| 118s | and it either takes time or teamwork for |
| 121s | collective goals |
| 122s | or you can't buy kill marks |
| 124s | that's for sure |
| 126s | and no shortcuts so |
| 129s | if you were you've earned it |
| 132s | and |
| 133s | quickly through this interbus credits |
| 135s | will be |
| 136s | generated through activity |
| 138s | can't be traded |
| 140s | you can just think of it as loyalty |
| 142s | points for now it's very similar |
| 144s | or frequent flyer miles it's a very |
| 146s | similar topic |
| 148s | but you'll |
| 149s | you'll earn it and you'll earn |
| 151s | enterprise credits for your corporation |
| 152s | if you belong to it at probably a |
| 154s | one-to-one ratio the game design is is |
| 156s | in its final stages but that's probably |
| 158s | the way it is |
| 160s | so every corporation will gain from |
| 162s | active members doing stuff building |
| 164s | everything together collective goals |
| 169s | the fitting window obviously something |
| 171s | we need to tackle to support all these |
| 173s | new cosmetics |
| 174s | but this is um |
| 176s | i think i want to try to keep the the |
| 179s | the way it is for now so it's |
| 182s | user friendly people know how it is we |
| 184s | don't want to create another user |
| 186s | experience |
| 188s | but earning them let's talk a little bit |
| 190s | about that |
| 193s | it starts by doing activities in-game |
| 195s | and we want more players playing doing |
| 198s | stuff in space and that's good for |
| 199s | everyone |
| 201s | these challenges could like earning |
| 203s | interbus could be doing literally |
| 205s | anything events challenges |
| 208s | finishing the career program that's |
| 209s | something that |
| 211s | they talked about yesterday seems to be |
| 213s | nomad |
| 214s | and uh to reward good students for |
| 216s | finishing their school and the |
| 218s | corporations that actually recruit them |
| 220s | while the court career program is going |
| 222s | on or afterwards |
| 224s | but |
| 225s | do activities |
| 226s | be omega that will just mean that you |
| 228s | get more |
| 230s | credits |
| 232s | if you join a corporation you'll |
| 234s | contribute to the organization |
| 237s | and then you buy your own stuff for your |
| 238s | own ships for your own interbus credits |
| 242s | and the corporation |
| 244s | gets credits by having members who do |
| 246s | stuff |
| 250s | if you retain them |
| 252s | recruit them train them and retain them |
| 254s | they'll continue generating credits for |
| 256s | you |
| 257s | for those |
| 258s | special cosmetics that you want |
| 260s | or heraldry |
| 261s | and if members convert to omega good for |
| 263s | them good for you |
| 265s | you spend your interface credits on |
| 267s | alliance logos for your structures or |
| 269s | things like that |
| 271s | and then |
| 272s | ultimately if you want to help them you |
| 274s | can always buy |
| 275s | plex or mega them for plex that they |
| 277s | earned together so this is the core loop |
| 281s | we also want to open up manual donations |
| 284s | to corporation not between characters |
| 286s | only up |
| 288s | we also know that some corporations or |
| 290s | alliances have multiple |
| 292s | corporations under umbrella but they |
| 294s | still want to contribute to the alliance |
| 296s | so that would be possible |
| 298s | i'm sorry |
| 300s | and then corporation tax and i'll talk |
| 302s | about that |
| 304s | but omega is the key |
| 306s | it simply multiplies the interface |
| 308s | credits as you get |
| 311s | and the first activity that will grant |
| 313s | enterprise credits is made for players |
| 314s | by players and i want to explain that |
| 317s | this is something i'm very passionate |
| 318s | about because it addresses the |
| 320s | fundamental problem and unique issue of |
| 323s | the online it is a game it is |
| 327s | with rewards |
| 328s | and being the most sophisticated |
| 330s | player-run economy that exists |
| 332s | we have three things to keep in mind |
| 334s | we need to give out items as rewards |
| 337s | it's simply what we need |
| 339s | we want to respect the work of plane |
| 341s | manufacturers |
| 343s | and we don't want to disrupt the economy |
| 345s | with unnecessary risk faucets |
| 349s | but we can't simply buy items from the |
| 351s | ccp player market because that would set |
| 353s | an artificial price |
| 355s | or floor |
| 356s | on the uh for the market |
| 359s | so the first iteration would be to |
| 360s | create npc donation missions where the |
| 362s | award is enterprise credit |
| 364s | now it's a choice for someone to either |
| 366s | manufacture the items or simply buy the |
| 368s | item from the market and donate them |
| 370s | either way the manufacturer is getting |
| 372s | paid for their work |
| 373s | uh there's no pay to win here because |
| 375s | the enterprise credits are are heraldry |
| 377s | and heraldry is cosmetic only so that's |
| 380s | never going to work |
| 383s | and new players really have to learn so |
| 384s | much |
| 385s | and what we're doing as veterans is |
| 387s | we're helping them we're supplying |
| 389s | convenience to them they don't have to |
| 391s | go through all of the learning before |
| 392s | they go into space |
| 395s | get blown up |
| 396s | repeat rinse and repeat |
| 398s | so we believe they will be more |
| 399s | motivated to stick around if they have |
| 401s | access to ships |
| 403s | and we're not spawning them for them so |
| 405s | you're helping them |
| 407s | while this has been uh when this has |
| 410s | been thoroughly tested um there's no |
| 412s | reason to not expand this to a much more |
| 415s | complete suite a fully integrated system |
| 418s | with all rewards even skill points from |
| 420s | the player market |
| 422s | and giving out more ships |
| 424s | to new players throughout the academy |
| 428s | i talked about stronger organizations |
| 430s | yesterday |
| 432s | and |
| 433s | i'm going to talk about organizational |
| 435s | income |
| 438s | if interbus credits aren't lp |
| 440s | and we can tax lp |
| 443s | that means we unlock |
| 446s | organizational income for corporations |
| 449s | because then we can tax a new or they |
| 452s | can tax this new activity |
| 454s | without relying on donations from those |
| 456s | players |
| 460s | that's a person that does accounting for |
| 463s | their alliance and corporation |
| 468s | so |
| 470s | the reason why it's so easy to do |
| 472s | bounties is because it's easy to tax |
| 474s | that's very clear |
| 476s | that also means that there's a |
| 479s | unnecessary friction or kind of i would |
| 482s | say pressure on corporation members to |
| 485s | do bounties |
| 486s | we don't want everyone to be doing |
| 488s | bounties and ratting for the corporation |
| 491s | if they could just do what they want to |
| 493s | do |
| 494s | and contribute automatically to the |
| 496s | corporation that is win-win for everyone |
| 499s | so we want organizations to have money |
| 501s | because they fuel the wards the fuel |
| 504s | destruction |
| 505s | and through srp and pay soft bills |
| 508s | so |
| 510s | that's good for the business good for |
| 511s | the game it's good for everyone |
| 513s | and there's another tax that we could |
| 516s | introduce |
| 517s | i'll say again ccp is not introducing |
| 519s | this is a organizational tax on their |
| 522s | members optional |
| 524s | so if you want to tax |
| 526s | also we could introduce vat tax so |
| 530s | basically try to set a tax on anything |
| 533s | that's sold on the market so the |
| 535s | corporation would simply take a tiny |
| 537s | percentage of all so whether you mine |
| 540s | and sell the mine the ore whether you |
| 542s | take the ore in the manufacturer and |
| 544s | sell it then or take the lp items and |
| 546s | sell them basically some part of that |
| 549s | wealth stream would be going to the |
| 550s | corporation |
| 552s | very easy |
| 553s | not that hard |
| 555s | and that's something that's just a tool |
| 556s | for for your directors out there |
| 559s | and really it's for the everyone in the |
| 562s | corporation |
| 563s | it's not |
| 565s | unfair because otherwise there's going |
| 566s | to get a bill every month to say like |
| 568s | you own x million because i think you're |
| 570s | looting something in in wormholes |
| 575s | this also helps with with that |
| 577s | management |
| 579s | so we want to strengthen public access |
| 582s | the data |
| 583s | currently we only have the mer which is |
| 585s | kind of |
| 586s | you have to upload the csvs you have to |
| 588s | do some |
| 588s | do some stuff you want to really want to |
| 590s | dig into it |
| 592s | and uh if you're not a web developer i |
| 594s | am not for example and i have a hard |
| 596s | time |
| 597s | understanding the api and i don't have |
| 599s | time for that |
| 600s | so what we're trying to do here is to |
| 603s | give a structured data warehouse to |
| 606s | players at their fingertips through |
| 608s | excel so you basically |
| 610s | open excel |
| 612s | get the eve plugin from the official |
| 614s | store and then you have access to the |
| 617s | same data as everyone else has |
| 618s | so very easy access |
| 621s | this will be fantastic for small and mid |
| 622s | corporation as well |
| 627s | then |
| 628s | one thing we want to keep our new |
| 630s | players |
| 631s | and i want to talk about high sec pvp |
| 634s | so |
| 635s | briefing |
| 637s | is |
| 637s | something that i'm concerned about so |
| 640s | we've recently spent considerable time |
| 642s | on and resources on studying uh high sec |
| 646s | and the results are very clear there are |
| 648s | two main patterns of gameplay so |
| 650s | briefing it's blowing up new players in |
| 653s | new playerships with nothing in them |
| 656s | the attacker gains nothing |
| 659s | and the victim has no means to respond |
| 662s | he doesn't expect to be killed |
| 664s | does not understand why he was killed |
| 667s | and from then on bootstrapping back to |
| 669s | into that ship will be hard and |
| 670s | difficult for them because they don't |
| 672s | really know what to do next |
| 674s | and the verdict for us is this doesn't |
| 676s | fit our cruel but fair pillar it's |
| 679s | simply cruel |
| 680s | there's nothing there |
| 682s | ganking |
| 684s | long veterans finishing |
| 687s | blink abyss gilas orca miners |
| 691s | marauders doing missions |
| 693s | this is a massive reward for players |
| 695s | for good kill |
| 697s | and the victim can choose the risk |
| 699s | there's plenty of ways to reduce it but |
| 701s | you can't eliminate it because that's |
| 703s | not |
| 704s | how eve works |
| 705s | and they know how to bootstrap back if |
| 707s | they lost something they they'll figure |
| 709s | it out |
| 710s | so the verdict on that is cruel but fair |
| 713s | and our efforts will almost exclusively |
| 715s | focused on reducing the griefing aspect |
| 717s | not the ganking aspect so |
| 719s | gankers you're safe |
| 728s | so the living universe today mining |
| 730s | volume is back to historical norms |
| 732s | lyricans showed us yesterday wealth |
| 734s | distribution integration is also more |
| 736s | diverse new players are doing gas mining |
| 738s | there's all kinds of things that weren't |
| 740s | there before pi is more valuable a lot |
| 742s | of things are more valuable routing |
| 744s | isn't |
| 745s | but that was also part of the design |
| 747s | it doesn't mean we're stopped in |
| 749s | improving routing but it's not the only |
| 751s | way to make money especially if we |
| 753s | introduce those organizational income |
| 754s | pillars |
| 756s | upcoming structure changes will make |
| 758s | conflict much better and we're seeing |
| 759s | that in a week from now like or |
| 761s | literally on |
| 762s | next deployment |
| 764s | the red knots are a critical part of the |
| 766s | puzzle |
| 768s | their logical first capital and |
| 770s | aspirational goal they allow punching up |
| 773s | and now at a much better rate to supers |
| 775s | and titans |
| 776s | they work at home defense and they work |
| 778s | at hunting they can do pve with crabs |
| 781s | and the new experimental capital routing |
| 783s | sites that we have been doing the white |
| 785s | anchorage was the first one in december |
| 787s | hoping to see more very soon |
| 791s | and the strategic commitment is this |
| 794s | and i want to explain the faction |
| 795s | warfare aspect of it |
| 798s | we're looking to create a more dynamic |
| 799s | living universe |
| 801s | vibrant metropolis is one of the pillars |
| 804s | faction warfare is a setting it does not |
| 806s | mean it's only faction warfare it means |
| 808s | that we want to introduce change through |
| 810s | factions and the empires in that area of |
| 812s | space |
| 815s | structures and sovereignty are still the |
| 816s | key elements of |
| 818s | going forward |
| 819s | and the arcs are simply a vehicle to |
| 821s | deliver content through story and player |
| 824s | activity |
| 827s | and we're looking at |
| 829s | something |
| 831s | they'll talk about it later |
| 832s | in a few minutes |
| 835s | content in this case ranges from new |
| 837s | ships sites and rewards of course we're |
| 839s | not stopping to do we're not do not |
| 841s | doing new shifts we're not |
| 843s | doing sites everything is coming but in |
| 845s | a narrative flavor and |
| 848s | sometimes mystery is is something that |
| 850s | people look forward to and we want to |
| 852s | keep it under wraps but obviously |
| 854s | there's content coming |
| 857s | and it's not just content for faction |
| 858s | warfare it seems it's going into it |
| 861s | spills into the living universe |
| 863s | and not just for lowsac and not just for |
| 865s | current fashion warfare players |
| 869s | and now here is ccpra to actually |
| 874s | shed a lot more light on that |
| 876s | she asked for two hours she only has |
| 879s | half |
| 883s | thank you |
| 890s | good morning everyone i'm happy to see |
| 892s | that most of you have woken up today uh |
| 894s | it was a struggle i will admit i was uh |
| 897s | i was a bit nervous yesterday thank you |
| 898s | for sticking with me |
| 900s | you guys are terrifying |
| 903s | all right so let's talk a little bit |
| 905s | more about faction warfare yesterday i |
| 907s | talked about it in brief i introduced a |
| 909s | dynamic frontline system and today what |
| 911s | i want to do is i want to dig in a |
| 913s | little bit more into exactly what that |
| 915s | means what we're looking at |
| 916s | so the slides will have |
| 918s | words today uh none of my slides had |
| 921s | words yesterday um which also means i |
| 923s | have no notes |
| 924s | so we'll be looking at this together um |
| 926s | as i said |
| 928s | faction warfare is our primary focus |
| 930s | that doesn't mean that content won't be |
| 932s | introduced to other areas of the game |
| 934s | but what it does mean is that faction |
| 936s | warfare is the vehicle through which it |
| 938s | might be introduced |
| 939s | for example there could be changes to |
| 941s | null sec |
| 942s | which would be introduced through a |
| 944s | faction warfare storyline but then spill |
| 946s | out into the rest of the universe |
| 950s | and it could touch all sorts of things |
| 952s | whether that's structures because we're |
| 954s | not done with them yet we still have a |
| 955s | lot of thoughts on structures |
| 957s | and they're super important |
| 959s | it could be territory control |
| 961s | how you control space whether it's |
| 964s | inside faction warfare whether it's |
| 966s | sovereignty |
| 967s | or maybe even new systems elsewhere |
| 970s | claiming a wormhole system claiming a |
| 972s | high sex system |
| 974s | and of course ship and fleet balance |
| 975s | i'll never be done with that i uh i |
| 978s | buffed the proteus recently |
| 980s | uh proteus is a great ship |
| 982s | [Applause] |
| 986s | speed subsystem maybe one day |
| 990s | and we'll be looking at all of the |
| 992s | content in various areas of the game |
| 994s | especially faction warfare because it |
| 995s | needs it the most |
| 997s | but this could be content in other |
| 999s | places as well so we're looking at |
| 1001s | updating faction warfare complexes |
| 1003s | even just little tweaks quality of life |
| 1005s | things that are really need to be done |
| 1006s | and i'll go into that a little bit more |
| 1008s | later |
| 1008s | new battlefield sites make it really |
| 1010s | feel like a war right now faction |
| 1012s | warfare feels like you're scavenging |
| 1014s | like it's a post-apocalyptic society |
| 1017s | and you're like |
| 1019s | there's like four others out here and |
| 1020s | they might hurt me |
| 1022s | but |
| 1024s | maybe maybe you'll run into them maybe |
| 1025s | you won't it doesn't feel like a war and |
| 1027s | we want to give you that war feeling |
| 1029s | and as i said |
| 1031s | it's just kind of a vehicle to introduce |
| 1033s | cool new changes overall |
| 1036s | so i want to talk a little bit about |
| 1038s | what i'm thinking when when i'm looking |
| 1040s | at faction warfare what sort of things |
| 1041s | do i have in mind |
| 1043s | top of the list is we want to make |
| 1045s | meaningful geography |
| 1047s | the geography and eve as some people |
| 1049s | have kind of noticed over the years the |
| 1051s | value of that has decreased so |
| 1054s | one system is not very different from |
| 1056s | the next system one null sex system that |
| 1058s | you own |
| 1059s | is very similar to any other null sex |
| 1061s | system and so it makes choosing space or |
| 1063s | fighting for a particular region that |
| 1065s | you care about |
| 1066s | a little too simple |
| 1068s | you you want each system to have a |
| 1070s | unique value a strategic meaning |
| 1073s | and so we're looking at that in fact |
| 1075s | warfare space as well |
| 1078s | and we want to we want people to be |
| 1079s | loyal to their factions |
| 1081s | right now in faction warfare there is a |
| 1082s | tier system |
| 1084s | that is |
| 1086s | it results in some rather unpleasant |
| 1089s | game play where large groups will just |
| 1091s | kind of rapidly switch back and forth |
| 1093s | and they wash board |
| 1095s | the faction warfare space back and forth |
| 1097s | and we don't want that we want you to |
| 1099s | commit to a faction we want you to have |
| 1100s | clear goals we want you to succeed |
| 1105s | and of course we need to give factual |
| 1107s | warfare space some love it really needs |
| 1109s | it it's been a long time |
| 1110s | uh i'll go into that a little bit more |
| 1113s | um that said this isn't a total rework |
| 1116s | the core of faction warfare is actually |
| 1118s | pretty cool the fact that there's so |
| 1120s | many faction warfare players here in |
| 1121s | this audience is a testament to that |
| 1124s | i mean you guys wouldn't still be there |
| 1125s | if there wasn't something |
| 1127s | involved that was really valuable and we |
| 1129s | don't want to discard that what we want |
| 1131s | to do is we want to augment it we want |
| 1133s | to add new things on top of it bring new |
| 1135s | people into the space and just make it |
| 1137s | more vibrant and more healthy |
| 1140s | and of course we want we want your |
| 1142s | choice to matter like this is the living |
| 1144s | universe team it's not the stagnant |
| 1145s | universe team |
| 1146s | uh that would be a really weird team |
| 1148s | name for us to have |
| 1151s | so when you when you achieve a victory |
| 1153s | it should actually mean something and |
| 1154s | there should be a clear victory once |
| 1156s | again it's not just an endless tug of |
| 1157s | war side to side across the battlefield |
| 1160s | but it's a clear objective a clear win a |
| 1163s | clear loss and a clear nice payout of |
| 1166s | rewards once you get through it |
| 1170s | and we want we want to bring new people |
| 1171s | into the into the uh battle battlefields |
| 1175s | we want players in space |
| 1177s | and we want them to have fun |
| 1179s | so as we're as we're looking at all of |
| 1181s | these things that we want to do we need |
| 1182s | to keep in mind also |
| 1184s | things that we need to consider |
| 1187s | risk reward effort balance a lot of |
| 1189s | people talk about risk reward but we |
| 1191s | look at it also in terms of the effort |
| 1194s | pillar which is often forgotten how much |
| 1196s | time did you spend setting up rolling |
| 1199s | holes getting everybody together picking |
| 1201s | your alliance just to run like a couple |
| 1203s | c5 sites before somebody got bored and |
| 1204s | left |
| 1206s | there's a reason that content is a |
| 1208s | little bit more valuable because there's |
| 1209s | a large effort component |
| 1212s | even if your holes are rolled and the |
| 1213s | risk is not that high |
| 1215s | i know because i do that and it's great |
| 1217s | money |
| 1220s | we want to design for player interaction |
| 1222s | and this is something that i'm really |
| 1223s | passionate about |
| 1225s | we want to bring people together so |
| 1227s | that's not just people in a system |
| 1231s | i also care about all of the places in |
| 1233s | the system |
| 1235s | that people could be |
| 1237s | so for example if you are in an lsx |
| 1239s | system and there are |
| 1242s | 32 anomalies 16 structures eight planets |
| 1246s | 64 moons |
| 1247s | the list can get really big and so even |
| 1250s | though you're in a system with 100 |
| 1251s | people |
| 1252s | it can feel quiet you're not getting |
| 1254s | those spontaneous interactions that |
| 1256s | really drive eve |
| 1258s | and that's something that i think we |
| 1259s | should always keep in mind how can we |
| 1261s | bring people into close proximity |
| 1264s | so that they can have meaningful and |
| 1266s | interesting interactions with each other |
| 1269s | whether that's making friends or |
| 1270s | shooting |
| 1274s | and of course we want to consider |
| 1275s | different play styles |
| 1277s | uh as you all know it's really hard for |
| 1279s | us to get like |
| 1280s | very clear feedback like this is exactly |
| 1282s | what's wrong well i take that back we |
| 1284s | get a lot of feedback that's like this |
| 1286s | is exactly what's wrong with eve and |
| 1288s | then someone else always like no no no |
| 1290s | it's not |
| 1292s | and so we need to consider all of these |
| 1294s | different groups that play the game |
| 1296s | and how our changes might impact them |
| 1299s | so i had introduced an allegiance and |
| 1301s | loyalty system |
| 1302s | yesterday |
| 1304s | which is a way for us to kind of have a |
| 1307s | more binary declaration of allegiance |
| 1310s | right now in faction warfare that is a |
| 1312s | militia system if you join an alliance |
| 1314s | that's in a |
| 1315s | in a militia then you get entered into |
| 1317s | their militia but we want to we want to |
| 1319s | clean that up that's a really strange |
| 1321s | choice to have to make |
| 1323s | there's a lot of players elsewhere in |
| 1324s | the game that are part of alliances that |
| 1326s | would like to participate in faction |
| 1328s | warfare that cannot today |
| 1331s | i am |
| 1332s | i did ask for two hours that would have |
| 1334s | been much better |
| 1339s | yeah i'm i'm moving along all right so |
| 1341s | we want npc factions to set their own |
| 1343s | goals so for example capture this system |
| 1345s | so that we can do this thing |
| 1349s | and of course we want you to be rewarded |
| 1350s | for them i'll go into rewards a little |
| 1352s | bit more later but we're effectively |
| 1354s | looking at reworking the tier system and |
| 1356s | introducing something new in its place |
| 1358s | that has |
| 1359s | better aligned incentives with what |
| 1360s | players actually want to do |
| 1371s | all right so i had talked about dynamic |
| 1373s | front lines yesterday um there as i said |
| 1375s | there are 180 systems in fact warfare |
| 1378s | space |
| 1379s | and they're all about the same |
| 1381s | uh and so that's something that we want |
| 1383s | to take a look at we want to make |
| 1384s | geography more meaningful |
| 1386s | and this can be done in both dynamic and |
| 1389s | static ways like the mountain range is a |
| 1392s | mountain range it's a difficult thing to |
| 1394s | cross |
| 1395s | but |
| 1396s | as uh like an army invading it could |
| 1399s | technically seize control of that |
| 1400s | territory so that would be a dynamic |
| 1402s | versus the static mountain range and a |
| 1404s | little bit of both makes for really |
| 1406s | colorful space |
| 1409s | so the way that we're looking at these |
| 1410s | front line systems right now you can see |
| 1412s | like the red is controlled by one team |
| 1415s | and then the blue is controlled by |
| 1416s | another |
| 1417s | uh we're looking at a really simple |
| 1419s | definition at the moment which is just |
| 1421s | if a system borders another system |
| 1424s | then is declared a frontline system |
| 1427s | and then if a system borders a frontline |
| 1430s | but not an enemy system then it would be |
| 1432s | declared a command operation system |
| 1435s | command operations would kind of have |
| 1436s | its own tactical value |
| 1438s | that's exactly what that is yet is still |
| 1440s | being decided but in this case one of |
| 1443s | the things that we're thinking is |
| 1445s | what if what if you cut off a system |
| 1448s | from its support it no longer has a |
| 1450s | command operation system behind it to |
| 1452s | help feed those front lines |
| 1454s | that system might be easier to capture |
| 1456s | and so there could be new emergent |
| 1457s | gameplay created through the system |
| 1460s | special strategies like uh we're having |
| 1462s | trouble taking this but if we cut it off |
| 1465s | that would be really cool we can take |
| 1467s | that system |
| 1470s | so what were the front lines look today |
| 1472s | uh some of you will recognize datlan |
| 1475s | it is a well-known player tool |
| 1478s | i just did a really bad job in paint do |
| 1480s | forgive me |
| 1482s | but what you see here in red those are |
| 1484s | what would be the frontline systems if |
| 1486s | we just turned on this magically today |
| 1489s | that would be where you would find the |
| 1490s | action |
| 1491s | that's where you would find like the |
| 1492s | special news sites that we're looking to |
| 1494s | add to them and you know if you're |
| 1496s | entering faction warfare you want to |
| 1498s | push those systems because they'll be |
| 1499s | more effective and you'll get better |
| 1501s | rewards |
| 1502s | and then the green would be the command |
| 1504s | operations systems |
| 1508s | at the moment in the marmon mattar |
| 1509s | faction warfare zone instead of having |
| 1512s | i don't remember what the total is |
| 1513s | whatever those numbers add up to |
| 1515s | we would have 23 frontline systems |
| 1518s | 14 second line which is an old term that |
| 1521s | we were using before that would be 14 |
| 1524s | command operation systems |
| 1526s | and 33 systems which are considered rear |
| 1529s | guard |
| 1530s | so those rear guard systems we're |
| 1533s | kind of looking at those as they're |
| 1535s | they're entrenched they're difficult to |
| 1537s | capture |
| 1539s | and you're going to take |
| 1541s | it's not very rewarding to do so it's |
| 1543s | going to be a long slog |
| 1545s | like that's that's not exactly where you |
| 1546s | want to put your tactical effort but i |
| 1548s | also don't want to entirely close the |
| 1550s | door |
| 1551s | so maybe it would be rewardless but you |
| 1553s | could attack a |
| 1555s | rearguard system |
| 1557s | in order to gain a future strategic |
| 1558s | advantage if you thought that that would |
| 1561s | be beneficial |
| 1564s | and then we were going to look to layer |
| 1566s | an objective system over the top of it |
| 1569s | so each faction would kind of declare |
| 1571s | like we need you to take this system |
| 1574s | if you take the system we'll achieve our |
| 1576s | goals |
| 1578s | and it'll |
| 1579s | add it'll add additional vibrance to |
| 1582s | this new frontline terrain of faction |
| 1585s | warfare space all of a sudden there are |
| 1587s | choke systems where there weren't |
| 1589s | previously |
| 1595s | and so this is the sort of just talking |
| 1597s | about the extra gameplay |
| 1599s | that we were thinking about adding to |
| 1601s | the faction warfare space so we want to |
| 1603s | bring more people in |
| 1605s | the existing faction warfare crowd is |
| 1606s | awesome |
| 1607s | but you guys need some more friends |
| 1612s | and so we want to we want to expand the |
| 1614s | gameplay variety in here as well so |
| 1617s | an objective might not be simply capture |
| 1620s | this system |
| 1621s | it could also be |
| 1623s | capture the system |
| 1624s | build the station and hold it while we |
| 1627s | accomplish something |
| 1629s | and then that could help us bring in |
| 1631s | new gameplay such as like war zone |
| 1634s | salvaging there could be logistics |
| 1635s | operations where you're having to like |
| 1637s | bring supplies to the front lines in |
| 1639s | order to support them |
| 1640s | it adds a whole lot of new vibrancy on |
| 1643s | top of the existing gameplay |
| 1645s | where you're still trying to fight and |
| 1647s | capture and control systems |
| 1650s | exactly what this will be |
| 1652s | still yet to be determined we're very |
| 1654s | much in the expiration phase at the |
| 1655s | moment uh so i've had a lot of |
| 1658s | conversations i'm about to get a whole |
| 1660s | lot more at that faction warfare |
| 1661s | roundtable i'm sure um but if you have |
| 1664s | ideas things that you think would work |
| 1665s | well things that you have concerns about |
| 1667s | now's the time to ask them so that i can |
| 1669s | make sure that those thoughts make it |
| 1670s | into our |
| 1671s | designs which will be happening |
| 1673s | next week |
| 1676s | and of course |
| 1677s | i said that faction warfare needs some |
| 1679s | love |
| 1680s | so there are a number of issues up all |
| 1682s | structures in faction warfare space |
| 1684s | are not great |
| 1686s | because |
| 1687s | the meaningful control of that territory |
| 1689s | was somewhat undermined by allowing |
| 1691s | enemy militias to simply still have |
| 1694s | perfectly fine tether and docking access |
| 1697s | in space that you control |
| 1699s | so that's absolutely something we want |
| 1701s | to take a look at |
| 1703s | we want to kind of look at complexes so |
| 1706s | the current complex design is |
| 1708s | rather simple like can we can we make it |
| 1711s | so that pirate ships can't enter novice |
| 1713s | complexes for example that would be |
| 1715s | really satisfying to those people who |
| 1717s | can't afford pirate ships |
| 1719s | like myself most of the time |
| 1722s | and can we can we kind of shift things |
| 1724s | so there's extra value for navy ships |
| 1727s | value for navy ships is a really big |
| 1728s | thing navy ships are really cool but |
| 1730s | sometimes they get overshadowed like how |
| 1732s | can we make those brighter |
| 1736s | apparently there's a mouse uh |
| 1738s | we also want to take a look at faction |
| 1740s | warfare missions faction warfare |
| 1742s | missions currently do not fit well into |
| 1744s | the ecosystem of faction warfare |
| 1747s | they're kind of a thing that non-faction |
| 1749s | warfare pilots do to extract money at |
| 1751s | the expense of reducing the value of the |
| 1754s | lp earned by people actually doing the |
| 1756s | fighting in the system control |
| 1758s | i'm not going to eliminate them entirely |
| 1761s | but just know that it's something that |
| 1762s | we're keeping an eye on in particular |
| 1765s | the tags are on my mind i want to make |
| 1767s | sure that you can earn your faction wifi |
| 1769s | rewards you can actually access the lp |
| 1771s | store without having to go grind for |
| 1773s | those tags in faction warfare missions |
| 1775s | if that's not exactly your thing |
| 1778s | and we want to take a look at uh |
| 1781s | the sites themselves so at the moment |
| 1783s | every site is the same in terms of like |
| 1785s | how valuable it is strategically like |
| 1787s | how much how many victory points did you |
| 1788s | earn whether you're running a novice in |
| 1790s | a t1 frigate or an open in a battleship |
| 1795s | so adding a little bit more value to |
| 1797s | those larger sites just makes sense it |
| 1799s | rewards people for putting those larger |
| 1801s | ships on field |
| 1804s | speaking of rewards we're looking at |
| 1806s | reworking them so we're |
| 1809s | when i say that we're looking to remove |
| 1811s | the tier system what i mean is we're |
| 1813s | kind of getting rid of it so it no |
| 1815s | longer will like the winning faction |
| 1818s | uh get rewards for just having more |
| 1819s | systems but instead they'll get rewards |
| 1822s | for completing objectives successfully |
| 1825s | so if you assist in completing an |
| 1826s | objective you'll be entered into a pool |
| 1829s | of communal rewards |
| 1831s | and then what's that |
| 1833s | sorry the microphone's there |
| 1835s | once that objective succeeds or fails |
| 1837s | you'll be paid out accordingly at the |
| 1839s | same time there's also we want to reward |
| 1841s | loyalty |
| 1842s | so win or lose if you're sticking with |
| 1844s | the same faction |
| 1845s | there's a track that you're working |
| 1847s | along |
| 1849s | where as you earn rewards you earn your |
| 1851s | loyalty you get cool stuff for it |
| 1858s | and taking a little bit of a turn um |
| 1859s | we're also looking at structures |
| 1861s | as we said we're not done instructors |
| 1863s | still need some love |
| 1865s | i think a lot of people will agree with |
| 1866s | the top point |
| 1868s | we want to ensure attacker commitment so |
| 1871s | at the moment someone can show up and |
| 1872s | just shoot your citadel |
| 1874s | and |
| 1875s | there's |
| 1877s | if they don't return you still have to |
| 1879s | form a defense fleet you don't know if |
| 1880s | they're coming back |
| 1882s | and that can be a really unsatisfying |
| 1884s | thing |
| 1884s | nobody likes made you form |
| 1887s | so |
| 1888s | imagine for an example where like in |
| 1891s | order to attack that structure the |
| 1893s | attacker has to come in and drop like a |
| 1896s | seed structure |
| 1897s | and that seeds truck sure powers up and |
| 1899s | it like breaks through the structure |
| 1901s | which then allows them to bash it but |
| 1902s | they can't remove it from the field and |
| 1904s | that thing is a little bit pricey |
| 1907s | if they don't show up again |
| 1909s | the defenders will simply destroy it |
| 1912s | take a valuable |
| 1913s | bit of loot out of it and they'll get |
| 1915s | paid for having to show up and defend |
| 1917s | their structure |
| 1918s | and the attackers will have lost |
| 1920s | whatever that was |
| 1921s | whatever system we put in place here we |
| 1923s | want to ensure that people are committed |
| 1925s | when they're actually a threat |
| 1927s | to the places that you live |
| 1936s | there's also some lessons that we |
| 1937s | learned from world war b |
| 1939s | two three |
| 1941s | never mind |
| 1943s | the casino roar or whatever you wanna |
| 1944s | call it um |
| 1947s | so there's |
| 1949s | at the moment if you if you go and |
| 1950s | you're fighting a nelson warfare |
| 1952s | and you attack a flex structure the |
| 1954s | defender just drops another one almost |
| 1956s | immediately and it makes it feel really |
| 1958s | pointless so we're looking at like can |
| 1960s | we add a tactical window if you take out |
| 1962s | their ansiblex gate or if you take out |
| 1965s | their cyanobeacon |
| 1967s | how can you open a window where you can |
| 1970s | where it takes time for them to put it |
| 1971s | back so that you can actually make use |
| 1974s | of that |
| 1975s | rather than just taking a small cash |
| 1977s | penalty for making them replace the flex |
| 1978s | structure |
| 1981s | we're also looking at uh capital ship |
| 1983s | re-tether time i know this one's a |
| 1985s | little spicy |
| 1986s | but at the moment there's a there's a |
| 1988s | difference between a sub-capital ship |
| 1990s | which has a 60-second tether time for |
| 1992s | the combat timer when it lands on the |
| 1994s | structure that 60-second timer is really |
| 1997s | a lot if we look at this in terms of a |
| 2000s | hp 2 second metric |
| 2003s | capital ships are totally in a different |
| 2005s | league |
| 2006s | and so we want to make sure that that |
| 2008s | balance is reasonable |
| 2010s | so |
| 2011s | fighting on an undock can still be a |
| 2012s | thing like you can still put your |
| 2014s | capitals on your undock and fight but |
| 2015s | once you untether there's actually |
| 2017s | meaningful risk similar to that sub cap |
| 2020s | risk that already exists |
| 2024s | in general improved gameplay and |
| 2025s | counterplay around antiblack skates |
| 2027s | they're a super useful nullsack tool but |
| 2029s | at the same time they're also really |
| 2030s | frustrating for anyone who wants to |
| 2033s | mess with you |
| 2035s | so the ability there's there's kind of |
| 2037s | two points here |
| 2038s | one is projection which is the thing |
| 2040s | that i'm not exactly taking a look at |
| 2042s | and the other is counter play |
| 2044s | if you see someone in a system and |
| 2046s | they're on an ansplex gate |
| 2048s | you don't really want to engage because |
| 2050s | they can instantly disappear at any time |
| 2052s | so |
| 2053s | you know that it's not going to be |
| 2054s | successful for you and so why would you |
| 2056s | take that risk |
| 2059s | and of course continue looking at passes |
| 2061s | so |
| 2062s | that could be uh possess currently have |
| 2064s | two uses one is like capital storage and |
| 2067s | one as day tripping into a wormhole with |
| 2069s | a |
| 2070s | a cheap easy rapid to set up structure |
| 2072s | so we're taking a look at that |
| 2076s | and there's other changes we want to |
| 2077s | make as well so as i said these might |
| 2080s | get introduced through faction warfare |
| 2082s | but there's a lot that can be done to |
| 2085s | make eve more fun more well-rounded |
| 2089s | whether that's new toys and tools for |
| 2092s | example |
| 2093s | a damage module that like applies a |
| 2095s | damage over time effect |
| 2097s | something brand new you can you can hit |
| 2099s | someone with it if you get close enough |
| 2101s | and run away and it continues to tick |
| 2103s | down |
| 2104s | who knows |
| 2105s | purely an example please don't get |
| 2107s | don't get too too taken with that |
| 2110s | and of course balance i want to pull up |
| 2112s | the weaker ships |
| 2113s | and i want to |
| 2115s | like the proteus i did recently |
| 2117s | and i want to reshape the dominant ones |
| 2119s | so |
| 2120s | looking at hacks for example i'm sure |
| 2123s | there's a lot of opinions on heavy |
| 2124s | assault cruisers i don't want to destroy |
| 2126s | them |
| 2128s | as much as some people would really love |
| 2130s | us to like nerf these things into the |
| 2131s | ground every ship should have its role |
| 2135s | and of course we're still looking at the |
| 2136s | tough issues i don't have answers for |
| 2138s | you today on what rattati talked about |
| 2139s | in terms of high set ganking but it is |
| 2141s | something on our radar |
| 2144s | quality of life updates uh who here |
| 2146s | would like to be able to instantly clone |
| 2149s | jump without a cooldown in an npc |
| 2150s | station |
| 2152s | [Applause] |
| 2158s | maybe |
| 2162s | [Music] |
| 2163s | i i can't take it away now yeah |
| 2166s | uh more readable maps the endgame map is |
| 2168s | great but there's a reason that i use |
| 2170s | dotland on a previous slide |
| 2177s | and of course we're looking at capital |
| 2178s | ships we want to ensure that the capital |
| 2180s | ecosystem is healthy every ship has its |
| 2182s | role for example |
| 2184s | dreadnoughts can maybe have a role in |
| 2186s | structure fights again |
| 2188s | and every ship has its counters so |
| 2192s | they're they're currently it's it's not |
| 2194s | terrible but there are things that could |
| 2196s | be improved um carriers are in a strange |
| 2198s | place right now where they're both |
| 2199s | overpowered |
| 2200s | and have no purpose which is a very |
| 2203s | strange place for any ship to be in |
| 2206s | and of course we're looking at navy |
| 2207s | ships it's faction warfare time |
| 2209s | so we want to make sure those navy ships |
| 2211s | are valuable we want to make sure that |
| 2212s | your lp rewards are worth it to you |
| 2215s | and so we're going to take a look at you |
| 2216s | know buffing the navy ships armageddon |
| 2219s | navy is terrible |
| 2221s | that one's on my list |
| 2223s | and even even more wild things can we |
| 2226s | add value to them in other ways such as |
| 2228s | adding fashion bonuses special bonuses |
| 2231s | within faction warfare space that would |
| 2233s | be of course well balanced |
| 2235s | uh for the game around them |
| 2237s | and with that i would like to |
| 2239s | hand it back over |
| 2241s | to actually nope snorri is not taking it |
| 2244s | ccp emerald |
| 2246s | who is our new brand manager |
| 2255s | hey everybody |
| 2257s | so great to see you all here after last |
| 2260s | night |
| 2262s | um hi everybody i'm ccp emerald um i'm |
| 2266s | new to fan fest it's already been such |
| 2268s | an inspiring week though i've really |
| 2269s | enjoyed getting to know you |
| 2271s | i've met some of you this week |
| 2273s | and i look forward to |
| 2275s | meeting more of you tonight especially |
| 2277s | with the party at the top of the world |
| 2279s | who's excited |
| 2282s | all right come on come on all right so |
| 2285s | uh now that you've seen some of the |
| 2287s | incredible plans coming from |
| 2290s | living universe i wanted to take a |
| 2293s | minute to walk you through how we're |
| 2295s | evolving from quadrants |
| 2298s | so but let's take a quick look back |
| 2300s | first uh for many years uh expansions |
| 2304s | were released in eve i'm sure you |
| 2306s | remember the days where you waited in |
| 2308s | anticipation for the next big expansion |
| 2310s | all so you could finally get all of your |
| 2313s | cool new space stores to play with |
| 2315s | um so |
| 2317s | a few years ago we decided it was time |
| 2318s | to evolve from expansion so that we |
| 2320s | could be a little bit more flexible with |
| 2322s | our releases |
| 2324s | keeping new eden alive and dynamic |
| 2328s | so eve evolved into quadrants and that |
| 2330s | was a two year era |
| 2332s | quadrants allowed us to be dynamic with |
| 2334s | our releases ensuring that there was |
| 2336s | always a steady stream of fresh new |
| 2338s | content and eve |
| 2341s | and within quadrants we told longer term |
| 2344s | stories as with the triglavian invasion |
| 2346s | trilogy |
| 2349s | and our goal is to keep the dexterity |
| 2351s | that we've had with quadrants but we |
| 2352s | want to build on that foundation |
| 2356s | telling even deeper and more immersive |
| 2358s | stories |
| 2359s | but more importantly setting the stage |
| 2361s | for you to play a part in shaping the |
| 2364s | future of new |
| 2367s | eden so |
| 2369s | we're planning to |
| 2371s | roll out something new |
| 2373s | and we're calling it arcs |
| 2377s | each arc tells a cohesive story in which |
| 2380s | you play an important role |
| 2382s | it'll feature a steady |
| 2384s | steady stream of narrative driven events |
| 2386s | and content |
| 2388s | that lead you to a climactic moment |
| 2390s | revealing a significant change in new |
| 2392s | eden |
| 2394s | just now aurora walked you through how |
| 2396s | this might play a part in factional |
| 2397s | warfare |
| 2399s | and in just a little bit ccp loki is |
| 2401s | going to talk about the narrative behind |
| 2404s | this |
| 2407s | but in addition to introducing narrative |
| 2410s | arcs to eve |
| 2412s | we're also going to be moving towards |
| 2414s | reintroducing |
| 2416s | expansions |
| 2418s | but they're going to look a little bit |
| 2419s | different than the expansions you're |
| 2421s | used to |
| 2422s | expansions will become the major content |
| 2424s | releases in eve |
| 2426s | they will contain |
| 2427s | big content moments in arcs new features |
| 2431s | significant tech evolutions art and |
| 2433s | audio enhancement and so much more and a |
| 2436s | lot of what you guys saw yesterday in in |
| 2438s | in the plans |
| 2439s | um but a key difference here and with |
| 2442s | this new era of expansions uh you're |
| 2444s | still going to be able to expect a |
| 2446s | steady stream of releases seasonal |
| 2448s | events challenges story progression |
| 2450s | moments and balance changes in between |
| 2452s | so it's not going to be |
| 2454s | nothing happening in between there's |
| 2456s | going to be plenty for you guys to do |
| 2459s | and this will keep new eden active and |
| 2461s | vibrant with regular seasonal events |
| 2464s | regular |
| 2465s | challenges and new story lines told |
| 2467s | through arcs |
| 2469s | but there's going to be something big to |
| 2471s | look forward to |
| 2473s | making this really the best of both |
| 2474s | worlds |
| 2477s | you can expect the first expansion |
| 2479s | moment to come |
| 2481s | in q4 2022 |
| 2483s | and we're really excited to reveal more |
| 2485s | to you |
| 2486s | then |
| 2489s | and but now for the fun part |
| 2492s | i'm going to hand the mic over to ccp |
| 2493s | loki |
| 2495s | who's going to be doing a deeper dive on |
| 2498s | some of the narrative development plans |
| 2499s | for this and he's going to give you a |
| 2501s | peek at where we're headed with arcs |
| 2503s | but let's hope he doesn't get |
| 2505s | interrupted this time |
| 2508s | [Applause] |
| 2513s | good morning |
| 2521s | why are we here |
| 2525s | true |
| 2527s | falls under we want to be entertained |
| 2531s | when playing a game we want to be |
| 2532s | challenged and want to be immersed in |
| 2534s | that game |
| 2536s | and everyone here at ccp to do |
| 2538s | should be aimed |
| 2539s | to enforce those feelings including when |
| 2542s | including features into |
| 2544s | new eden |
| 2546s | when you play |
| 2547s | you should feel like you're stepping |
| 2549s | into this universe this place called new |
| 2551s | eden |
| 2553s | a living universe is something that |
| 2555s | evolves and changes over time and is |
| 2558s | constantly affected by events that take |
| 2560s | place inside it |
| 2561s | now many of new eat and most spectacular |
| 2563s | events were created by you the |
| 2565s | capsuleers |
| 2567s | over periods spanning almost 20 years |
| 2569s | now |
| 2571s | heist another 30 deeds have been |
| 2573s | committed |
| 2575s | null sex feuds and wars lasting decades |
| 2578s | have been fought |
| 2579s | and player empires have risen and faded |
| 2581s | away |
| 2583s | i find it fascinating that all these |
| 2585s | events become part of new ethan history |
| 2589s | and lore |
| 2590s | and with the passage of time they |
| 2592s | somehow become more mythical or |
| 2595s | legendary even |
| 2599s | books have even been written about it |
| 2601s | and many of you |
| 2602s | in here can actually say |
| 2604s | wait for it |
| 2606s | i was there |
| 2609s | i'm telling you |
| 2611s | i was there |
| 2615s | i was there when we filmed it |
| 2619s | the goal of narrative driven design is |
| 2622s | to create more moments for you in the |
| 2624s | future that you can say i was there |
| 2628s | the feeling of taking a part in a story |
| 2629s | unfolding on a grand scale |
| 2632s | that leaves a permanent mark on newton |
| 2636s | now |
| 2638s | here we can talk for example about |
| 2640s | poshman |
| 2641s | a password was an event where you could |
| 2643s | actually affect the outcome and it |
| 2646s | leaves like a very big permanent mark on |
| 2648s | new ethan it's not completely scripted |
| 2650s | it's up to you it was up to you how it |
| 2653s | panned out |
| 2654s | so you will be able to take an active |
| 2656s | part in determining the outcome of a lot |
| 2659s | of these events |
| 2660s | this is how new features will be |
| 2662s | introduced and this is how you get a |
| 2665s | sense of belonging to your function |
| 2667s | this will be providing a way for you to |
| 2670s | interact with the lore and co-create it |
| 2673s | with us |
| 2675s | now how are we going to going to do this |
| 2679s | in many ways we have done all kinds of |
| 2681s | these kinds of things before for example |
| 2683s | in the lead up to epistle ted space and |
| 2685s | the triclavian invasion |
| 2687s | and taking the lessons learned from |
| 2689s | these events and experiments we're going |
| 2692s | to do this on a much larger scale |
| 2694s | this is why we're holding back a lot of |
| 2698s | content during this keynote |
| 2701s | we want all the |
| 2703s | toys whether it's ships structures |
| 2706s | whatever it is |
| 2707s | to feed out throughout the ark into your |
| 2710s | hands |
| 2713s | because if i would tell you if we would |
| 2715s | tell you what is coming in the next |
| 2717s | months it would take away all element of |
| 2719s | mystery and discovery it would be like |
| 2722s | george lucas in 1980 saying yeah you |
| 2724s | liked star wars i'm going to make a new |
| 2726s | movie i'm going to call it the emperor's |
| 2727s | tracks back and at the end of it you're |
| 2730s | going to find out the darth vader is |
| 2732s | luke's father |
| 2733s | oh sorry sorry |
| 2736s | oh |
| 2738s | i'll just quit now sorry |
| 2741s | yeah |
| 2742s | but you can say you know one of the |
| 2744s | lessons we learned is that you each arc |
| 2747s | will have a very clear beginning climax |
| 2750s | and a conclusion |
| 2753s | to make this clear we can look at some |
| 2755s | previous and hypothetical examples |
| 2759s | and |
| 2761s | again i want to emphasize even though |
| 2763s | i'm using these as an example we are not |
| 2765s | going to do the same thing exactly again |
| 2768s | each arc will feel unique have its own |
| 2770s | storyline own twists and plots all |
| 2773s | its own custom events and all that |
| 2775s | shenanigans |
| 2777s | so each arc has its own story |
| 2780s | now in naruto design in the simplest |
| 2783s | form we are basically introducing a |
| 2785s | feature to narration |
| 2788s | i mean while this still beats patch |
| 2790s | notes |
| 2791s | it still lacks a very like fundamental |
| 2793s | element we want to lean more into and |
| 2795s | that's engagement with you |
| 2801s | so again to use previous examples |
| 2806s | in the beginning of each ask and i want |
| 2808s | to emphasize the first arc has already |
| 2810s | started there are clues out there so |
| 2811s | keep your eyes and ears open |
| 2814s | but each arc starts with you just |
| 2816s | thinking what the hell is going on |
| 2819s | over some period evens takes place and |
| 2821s | clues are dropped and you have to |
| 2823s | accomplish tasks |
| 2824s | and you are and |
| 2827s | again during this period which we are in |
| 2829s | now there is complete radio silence from |
| 2832s | us we're not telling you |
| 2834s | that we're going to have a super star |
| 2836s | destroyer in the empire strikes back |
| 2839s | there is complete selling you need to |
| 2841s | figure this out yourselves |
| 2846s | later on in the discovery phase |
| 2849s | and slowly as more objectives are |
| 2850s | achieved and more clues are revealed |
| 2852s | your theories will become will sort of |
| 2855s | become closer to reality what we're |
| 2857s | actually going to do |
| 2859s | and for those of you who are not |
| 2861s | engaging directly and participating in |
| 2863s | the events you will still get a feedback |
| 2866s | on what's going on |
| 2867s | eventually knew it the news or the scope |
| 2870s | might clear things up or not in this |
| 2872s | case you actually got a nobel prize |
| 2874s | winner to explain how traglovian |
| 2877s | well episode that space works |
| 2879s | but at that end of this period |
| 2883s | ccp will break its radio challenge we |
| 2885s | will discuss the feature we will have |
| 2887s | the usual conversation with you as we |
| 2889s | always do about |
| 2891s | you know |
| 2892s | it will come out on cc balance issues |
| 2895s | all those things it's basically the |
| 2897s | first phase which we are in now where |
| 2899s | the with where we have a mystery face |
| 2901s | where we're not telling you anything you |
| 2903s | need to figure this out |
| 2906s | the last stage is sort of raised to |
| 2908s | complete completion at this point in the |
| 2911s | arc it has become clear what is going on |
| 2914s | and what are your faction objectives in |
| 2917s | many cases it would be a race between |
| 2919s | the factions to get |
| 2921s | things done |
| 2924s | now here the goals will be extremely |
| 2927s | clear there is no mystery the empire |
| 2929s | will directly tell you what they want to |
| 2931s | do |
| 2932s | because it's an extremely important |
| 2934s | lesson from the past that when running |
| 2936s | these things for example i'm just going |
| 2939s | to say it out loud like in pashwen right |
| 2941s | from the beginning you should have known |
| 2942s | what's at stake when fighting for the |
| 2944s | systems |
| 2945s | and what would the end result would be |
| 2947s | we have picked up some we learned |
| 2949s | sometimes sometimes |
| 2953s | and during this phase things must start |
| 2955s | to appear in the game |
| 2957s | you might see like half built structure |
| 2959s | you might see the empires on the move |
| 2961s | and and and and try to get them to do |
| 2963s | your their pitting |
| 2965s | and |
| 2967s | it's now up to you to achieve your |
| 2969s | faction goals and for example acquire a |
| 2972s | new technology for your faction |
| 2975s | this will utilize the frontline system |
| 2977s | the allegiance system all the things we |
| 2979s | talked about the narrative is just tying |
| 2981s | the whole thing together and sort of |
| 2984s | just make it have a purpose |
| 2988s | so |
| 2989s | previously again |
| 2991s | we released |
| 2993s | these guys and they just came out |
| 2996s | now if we were doing this |
| 2999s | you would actually have to fight for the |
| 3001s | galata or the kaltari perhaps even two |
| 3004s | different things maybe fight against |
| 3006s | each other to acquire the technology |
| 3008s | first |
| 3013s | and as ccp or mentioned |
| 3016s | you will have to make a long-term |
| 3017s | decision when it comes to playing place |
| 3020s | pledging your allegiance without with a |
| 3022s | faction |
| 3023s | because we want this also to spill out |
| 3026s | of factional warfare so for example like |
| 3029s | earlier when we were talking about the |
| 3030s | ships |
| 3032s | you if you participate in the event |
| 3034s | itself you get extra rewards for doing |
| 3037s | that for your faction but the remainder |
| 3039s | all the other |
| 3041s | capsuleers who are in your faction they |
| 3043s | won't have the ship until |
| 3046s | the faction has completed the goal |
| 3048s | and we're going to play on a lot more |
| 3050s | things than just giving thanks out to |
| 3052s | you this might have like economy results |
| 3054s | where we're sort of experimenting with |
| 3056s | all kinds of effects that we'll have on |
| 3057s | the world we really want the empires to |
| 3060s | come alive |
| 3062s | and |
| 3062s | while we have like pretty cool |
| 3064s | backstories and lore the empires have |
| 3066s | always felt a bit stagnant in the game |
| 3068s | there we have fraction warfare which has |
| 3070s | been sort of is popular on its own we |
| 3072s | want to make it much bigger and we want |
| 3074s | it to spill out into the whole game |
| 3077s | you will feel like you belong to the |
| 3079s | empire when your empire does well you |
| 3081s | are doing well when your empire is doing |
| 3083s | badly you are doing badly up to a point |
| 3086s | [Laughter] |
| 3090s | and |
| 3092s | again |
| 3093s | we will |
| 3095s | see more visible to npcs will be more |
| 3098s | visible during events uh actually in the |
| 3100s | game right now you will see some of the |
| 3103s | things that are sort of starting to wind |
| 3105s | up we sort of started today this morning |
| 3107s | at downtime |
| 3108s | i can this is like the real world don't |
| 3110s | expect world war three we are ramping |
| 3113s | slowly up this is a journey not a you |
| 3115s | know this is a marathon not a sprint |
| 3119s | and we're going to use the npcs a lot to |
| 3121s | tell the story we're going to see them |
| 3123s | fight we're just going to do all kinds |
| 3125s | of shenanigans as usual |
| 3128s | just on a much bigger scale |
| 3135s | and onto the narrative as you have not |
| 3138s | noticed we have started to tell more |
| 3140s | character trim stories |
| 3142s | and show more of new eating in our |
| 3144s | videos |
| 3145s | over the past year the faction leaders |
| 3147s | have become more visible |
| 3150s | and the faction culture and traits will |
| 3153s | also continue to be more seen and felt |
| 3155s | throughout videos and other media we |
| 3158s | sort of want to |
| 3159s | i assume most of you know who sauria |
| 3162s | triclave is |
| 3164s | what's his name |
| 3168s | get a free peer letter |
| 3170s | we want to make these characters iconic |
| 3173s | we want them you know to |
| 3176s | be the identity of your faction |
| 3179s | and we'll continue to see more of ships |
| 3182s | and station interiors and surfaces and |
| 3184s | planet surfaces and so on |
| 3186s | now are those tanks gonna come into the |
| 3188s | game itself |
| 3189s | no probably not |
| 3192s | but these places are a part of the eve |
| 3195s | universe and showing them goes a long |
| 3198s | way in creating a living breathing |
| 3200s | universe this is world building this is |
| 3202s | immersion and you know hey |
| 3205s | it's uh you know a lot of it's just |
| 3207s | entertainment i you know |
| 3209s | i had some fun making this one |
| 3213s | fun fact |
| 3214s | when the guys come running out |
| 3216s | that's all me |
| 3218s | it's me in a mocap suit in my house |
| 3221s | running into the kitchen |
| 3226s | yeah |
| 3228s | i had my son as the director |
| 3231s | so you will continue to see more of |
| 3233s | these things and you know we are just we |
| 3236s | are sort of getting to a place where we |
| 3237s | can |
| 3239s | speed up the process and create a lot |
| 3241s | more of these and just we're getting |
| 3242s | better and better and better and you |
| 3243s | know sorry about the animation sometimes |
| 3245s | i'm getting that |
| 3252s | and uh |
| 3255s | again the first arc has started |
| 3258s | the clues are already out there |
| 3261s | so keep your eyes |
| 3263s | and ears open |
| 3265s | here we go |
| 3272s | capsuleers attending a session of the |
| 3274s | interstellar anti-smuggling encounter |
| 3276s | piracy conference at the geeta four tac |
| 3278s | four trade hub were surprised when a |
| 3281s | concord presentation on rising smuggler |
| 3283s | activity was apparently hijacked by the |
| 3286s | very same smugglers |
| 3289s | [Music] |
| 3291s | platitudes blandishments lies |
| 3294s | you of all people know that concord and |
| 3296s | the empires have no interest in common |
| 3298s | with you they have done nothing for you |
| 3301s | they shall do nothing for you |
| 3304s | how long will you listen to their empty |
| 3306s | words |
| 3307s | in recent days as is their pitiful habit |
| 3311s | concord has made use of you to advance |
| 3314s | their own agenda |
| 3316s | these free trade outposts you have so |
| 3318s | willingly cleared of my associates have |
| 3320s | been taken over by concord's worst |
| 3323s | lucero |
| 3325s | perhaps you don't believe me |
| 3327s | check for yourself |
| 3328s | i have broadcast the new signatures of |
| 3331s | those sites to all |
| 3332s | why should you not destroy the sorrow |
| 3334s | bully boys they have always sought to |
| 3337s | control you |
| 3339s | do their bidding no more |
| 3340s | open your eyes |
| 3342s | seize your destiny and |
| 3345s | if you would |
| 3346s | join me the deathless |
| 3350s | embarrassed by this intrusion concord |
| 3353s | officials have refused to comment on |
| 3355s | sorrow activity at occupied smuggler |
| 3357s | outposts other than to state that |
| 3359s | measures are simply being carried out to |
| 3361s | ensure the complete eradication of |
| 3363s | illegal smuggling activities |
| 3365s | any recent improvements in the strained |
| 3367s | diplomatic relationship between the |
| 3369s | galente federation and the khaldari |
| 3370s | state have been overshadowed by claims |
| 3373s | that a galente diplomat was involved in |
| 3375s | a massive spy ring operating within the |
| 3378s | khaldari state |
| 3379s | the khaldari state's chairman akima |
| 3381s | kasaraki delivered a fiery speech in a |
| 3384s | live broadcast from the kalduri chief |
| 3386s | executive panel yesterday the scheduled |
| 3389s | speech was reportedly originally aimed |
| 3391s | at promoting interstellar diplomacy due |
| 3393s | to the ongoing jita 4-tac 4 summit |
| 3396s | however with state corporations and |
| 3398s | citizens expressing outrage over the new |
| 3400s | allegations the delivered speech leaned |
| 3403s | heavily into patriotic rhetoric and |
| 3405s | evoked previous hostilities with the |
| 3407s | galente state |
| 3410s | we remain |
| 3414s | no matter the cost |
| 3417s | no direct response or comments have been |
| 3419s | made by the galente federation so far |
| 3422s | but federation navy and customs forces |
| 3424s | have been placed on heightened alert |
| 3426s | status |
| 3427s | this is alton hovery reporting for the |
| 3430s | scope |
| 3440s | [Music] |
| 3452s | at least three clues in that so |
| 3455s | go look at it screenshot it |
| 3458s | i just want to recap |
| 3460s | everything we talked about for the |
| 3461s | league universe we're looking at |
| 3463s | three pillars |
| 3464s | organizational income |
| 3466s | heraldry |
| 3468s | made for players by players |
| 3471s | cruel but fair we're looking at fair |
| 3473s | access of data through spreadsheets |
| 3475s | anti-cheat improvements |
| 3476s | high sac ganking and griefing |
| 3479s | and for metropolis we're looking at |
| 3481s | evolving meta and quality of life as csb |
| 3484s | aurora went through |
| 3485s | dawn of the dreadnoughts that's my |
| 3487s | sentence don't take her |
| 3489s | don't blame her hanger immersion |
| 3491s | i think it's incredibly important |
| 3494s | our emotional attachment is to our ships |
| 3496s | and that is very clear |
| 3498s | structures and sovereignty that is a key |
| 3501s | pillar for all of our attention to |
| 3502s | faction warfare looking at upward |
| 3504s | structures for example in faction |
| 3505s | warfare is a way to start |
| 3507s | tackling these problems specifically |
| 3509s | area by area security by security issue |
| 3512s | by issue |
| 3513s | high value front lines i don't think |
| 3515s | that came clear enough through is that |
| 3519s | if you have border states you have |
| 3521s | people on both sides |
| 3523s | the problem with high value sites |
| 3526s | content |
| 3527s | is when it happens |
| 3529s | way beyond sovereignty somewhere safe |
| 3532s | we have lost the risk part of the reward |
| 3535s | this creates a pinnacle conflict driver |
| 3537s | opportunity for us to put very valuable |
| 3540s | things on borders |
| 3543s | all building on factual warfare |
| 3544s | foundation without being only for |
| 3546s | faction warfare players |
| 3548s | looking at epic era and arcs coming this |
| 3551s | year |
| 3552s | multi-account benefits |
| 3554s | and omega boosting interbus credits to |
| 3556s | help with heraldry |
| 3558s | so |
| 3559s | this is us the living universe thank you |
| 3561s | for your attention and listening |
| 3565s | [Applause] |
