| 4s | all right ladies general welcome back |
| 6s | our next guest for the keynotes this |
| 10s | morning is CCP mimicked my voice is |
| 22s | rubbish so I'm sorry but it's really |
| 32s | really awesome to be back this is it's |
| 35s | quite overwhelming to see so many |
| 38s | familiar faces that I have to admit that |
| 40s | I have missed more than I should have |
| 42s | but yes anyway we'll carry on with the |
| 44s | prison I get all teary-eyed this is of |
| 47s | course the third day of the Eve World |
| 50s | Tour invasion which kicked off in |
| 53s | wonderful Amsterdam just at the end of |
| 55s | March and we are watching the wrong feed |
| 59s | so please can I have my slide showing on |
| 61s | the screen because I got a nice pretty |
| 63s | picture thank you oh yes we kicked it |
| 68s | off at the end of March in Easter damn |
| 71s | which I suppose could probably be called |
| 74s | the youngest sibling of Eve down under |
| 76s | there they started in a bar meet in 2013 |
| 80s | so a little bit younger than you down |
| 82s | under but it was a fantastic way to kick |
| 86s | off the tour because they broke their |
| 88s | attendance record with well over 400 |
| 90s | members so I just wanted to give a shout |
| 92s | out to those guys because it was |
| 93s | fantastic that they were all there and |
| 95s | then of course in the beginning of May |
| 98s | just a couple of weeks ago was st. |
| 100s | Petersburg which was again the largest |
| 103s | Russian player gathering that we've ever |
| 105s | had |
| 106s | again well over 400 members and we for |
| 110s | the first time ever hosted the mature |
| 112s | the main content in Russian which meant |
| 116s | that we could we could really showcase |
| 120s | what what's the best part about our |
| 122s | russian-speaking community and there we |
| 126s | were lucky enough to get players from |
| 128s | not just Russia but the Ukraine and |
| 130s | Belarus and a whole bunch of other |
| 131s | countries and |
| 132s | in the region and there a large part of |
| 134s | our community as as I'm sure you guys |
| 137s | have have come across them and you know |
| 139s | in the wee night hours but so it was |
| 142s | fantastic to be able to speak with them |
| 145s | and be a part of that community and of |
| 147s | course I was there at st. Petersburg |
| 149s | that we announced the summer expansion |
| 151s | which is coming in just four days |
| 154s | [Music] |
| 159s | eve online invasion is going to see an |
| 162s | invasion on a scale never seen before |
| 166s | and there's a bunch of new PvE content |
| 168s | that's coming out with brand new |
| 170s | challenges and visuals and it's not just |
| 173s | new stuff that we that we bring you out |
| 176s | as as CCP helm I was speaking about |
| 178s | earlier we're also remembering our roots |
| 182s | and what basically look taking a look at |
| 187s | the tech that supports you online and |
| 190s | part of this is updating all the |
| 193s | gameplay systems which I'll talk about a |
| 195s | little bit later and the transition to |
| 198s | the 64-bit client and DirectX 12 and I |
| 201s | also just want to give a shout out to |
| 203s | all of you guys the community has been |
| 207s | quite amazing I need better adjectives I |
| 212s | suppose quite amazing in helping us with |
| 215s | the testing for Eve 64 and the |
| 219s | attendance for the math tests has been |
| 221s | phenomenal and it's been feedback like |
| 224s | that and all all the bug reports and all |
| 226s | the things that have come to light |
| 228s | through your interaction with us through |
| 230s | this collaboration that has meant that |
| 231s | you've been able to highlight some of |
| 234s | the issues that came up in the beginning |
| 235s | and work through them much faster than |
| 238s | we thought and so we're going to be |
| 240s | going into upton open beta on May the |
| 243s | 28th alongside the expansion and we had |
| 246s | originally thought that we were going to |
| 248s | need a substantial amount more time but |
| 252s | it's it's been through what you guys |
| 255s | have been putting into helping us figure |
| 257s | out what heed to get it to the standard |
| 260s | that that it should be that's really |
| 262s | helped us so kind of opposed to any of |
| 264s | you guys who've been |
| 266s | while actually all of you just because |
| 267s | you're part of the community but thank |
| 269s | you in particular to anybody who's ever |
| 271s | helped with any of the math tests or |
| 273s | filed a bug report or anything else so |
| 275s | thank you and like we said before it's |
| 283s | not just looking at the technical |
| 286s | infrastructure of Eve but also revisit |
| 289s | revisiting some of the more established |
| 291s | gameplay systems that make Eve what it |
| 295s | is and one of the big parts of the |
| 297s | summer expansion is going to be the |
| 300s | latest overhaul of the Warnock system |
| 303s | which is of course been around since |
| 307s | since the beginning of Eve pretty much |
| 309s | and it got it a few light changes back |
| 312s | in EVE Online Exodus which was in |
| 316s | November 2004 which is quite some time |
| 320s | ago |
| 321s | and this was when they introduced formal |
| 324s | alliances and so everybody needed |
| 325s | somewhere to fight against each other |
| 327s | and it was thrown only then in 2012 that |
| 331s | they good next few little bits of bits |
| 334s | of update where war reports were |
| 336s | introduced and a bit more detailed on to |
| 338s | kill males and being able to understand |
| 341s | a bit more about what had happened in |
| 343s | combat but there's obviously a lot was |
| 346s | needed still to happen so in December |
| 350s | last year we introduced the beginning of |
| 351s | these changes and as we were as CCP |
| 356s | Helmer was saying part of part of our |
| 359s | investigations and to what's happening |
| 362s | in the game and how you guys are all |
| 364s | interacting brought to light that there |
| 367s | was a lot of unfairness in the early the |
| 372s | earlier game that quite a few new |
| 374s | players encounter which is the war tech |
| 375s | system and highsec and so we were |
| 377s | looking at protecting new players to |
| 381s | some degree but also trying to reduce |
| 382s | griefing the way that Oconee was so in |
| 386s | December last year we introduced war |
| 388s | eligibility which meant that anybody who |
| 390s | wanted to be a part of a war had to have |
| 393s | a structure in space had to have a |
| 395s | little bit of skin in the game then in |
| 399s | March |
| 399s | introduced a few more updates this was |
| 401s | mainly again focused on new players and |
| 404s | trying to eliminate quick and easy ways |
| 407s | to gain the system and and prevent any |
| 410s | kind of abuse we were closing loopholes |
| 412s | that people use to try and get around |
| 414s | get around things and then in April we |
| 418s | introduced probably one of the most |
| 421s | frequently asked for features from the |
| 424s | community and that was the removal of |
| 426s | remote logistics and command bursts from |
| 429s | affecting high tech wars so so this is |
| 435s | now hidden behind green safety settings |
| 438s | so no more accidental Concord |
| 441s | intervention and then of course that |
| 444s | brings us to now to May and we're with |
| 447s | this latest update we're going to be |
| 449s | introducing a bunch of UI changes just |
| 453s | for increased clarity on what's actually |
| 455s | happening in the war like progress of |
| 457s | the war more discoverability about the |
| 461s | the rules of how things work its side |
| 464s | note that I don't know if I should say |
| 466s | but it's quite surprising how many rules |
| 468s | we discovered as we were going through |
| 471s | there like I don't know it did that |
| 473s | there's no documentation of what it did |
| 476s | before and so awesome that you guys were |
| 479s | able to play with this video before |
| 480s | anyway we're fixing all of that there's |
| 484s | also one of the things that we've done |
| 486s | is simplified the wall cast before you |
| 489s | had to determine how big the attacker |
| 491s | was the defender how many wars were |
| 492s | ongoing and all that taken all of that |
| 494s | out now all wars will allow all |
| 496s | aggressive or simply be a hundred |
| 498s | million ask per week simple as we're |
| 501s | making some changes to mutual wars as |
| 503s | well where it's now going to be an |
| 506s | invite acceptance system similar to Corp |
| 509s | recruitment and there's no cost |
| 513s | associated with that no war |
| 515s | eligibilities no need for structure in |
| 517s | space and either side can end the war |
| 519s | any time that they want and just going |
| 522s | back to aggressive war sorry the last |
| 524s | thing that we're doing or adding in one |
| 526s | of the main things is something that |
| 529s | we're calling war headquarters where any |
| 532s | organization |
| 533s | mas or any attacking attacking |
| 536s | organization needs to declare a high sex |
| 539s | structure to be the war headquarters and |
| 542s | if the structure is removed from space |
| 544s | for any reason say for example it's an |
| 547s | anchor door |
| 548s | I don't know spontaneously combusts then |
| 550s | the war ends so this way at least we're |
| 554s | hoping that the defending defending |
| 557s | hopes at least have a chance or at least |
| 561s | we increase their sense of agency that |
| 564s | they have something that they can go |
| 566s | against or at least get friends to help |
| 568s | them to help them fight but it's one of |
| 572s | the things that we believe sorry I |
| 574s | skipped ahead a bit but one of the |
| 576s | things we believe is that the stuff that |
| 577s | happens in the high SiC can really |
| 580s | affect what happens in the rest of New |
| 581s | Eden especially as we were talking about |
| 584s | newer players and this slide is up here |
| 587s | because I want to give a shout out to |
| 590s | CSM 13 which is the current council of |
| 594s | still a management they have been a |
| 596s | pretty big part in shaping the way that |
| 599s | the war deck system has gone and they've |
| 601s | been apart really early on a really |
| 604s | great sounding board for some of the |
| 607s | ideas that we didn't even bother |
| 608s | developing some pretty crazy stuff so |
| 611s | just wanna say thanks to them they've |
| 614s | they've been focused on on getting us a |
| 619s | more balanced vortex system and |
| 622s | definitely a risk versus reward focus |
| 626s | which has been fantastic so if you can |
| 628s | please a huge fan of opposed to CSM |
| 631s | [Applause] |
| 635s | and the CSM is really important when it |
| 640s | comes to looking at the more established |
| 643s | gameplay systems and they have insights |
| 646s | into or especially given the given the |
| 651s | feedback that you guys feed through them |
| 654s | inside senses like quality of life and |
| 657s | accessibility aspects of certain systems |
| 659s | which we can't always see because we |
| 662s | can't know all the ways that you use |
| 664s | different things and so you just wanted |
| 667s | to say that that's going to be time for |
| 670s | the new console to be voted in soon |
| 673s | voting will be between June the 10th and |
| 676s | June the 17th I have some slides of the |
| 681s | 44 candidates that are going to be |
| 684s | running but as you can hear I'm sorry |
| 687s | candidates but there'll be a dev blog |
| 690s | and all the names and everything and |
| 691s | they'll see speed dopamine will also go |
| 693s | through it in the closing terrible I'm |
| 695s | gonna save this for the voice for for |
| 698s | other things so yeah they are everybody |
| 701s | we've got seven incumbent candidates I |
| 704s | believe and then yeah total of 44 so I'm |
| 708s | gonna read the names sorry everybody but |
| 710s | yes okay that's them |
| 713s | voting as I said June the 10th between |
| 715s | the 17th and we'll announce the results |
| 718s | on June the 22nd which is the next leg |
| 722s | of the Eve world invasion world tour |
| 726s | which is Eve North in Toronto |
| 734s | okay back to Tuesday as I said there's |
| 741s | thanks that system for shaping the water |
| 744s | except which I know a lot of you guys |
| 747s | probably aren't well some of you are in |
| 750s | in the teaching corporations but a lot |
| 753s | of you don't necessarily interact with |
| 755s | with the watering system but as we were |
| 758s | talking about before we need to we need |
| 761s | to allow people to be in eve and grow |
| 765s | and find find what they what they want |
| 769s | to do what interests them what are they |
| 771s | going to develop and it's these trying |
| 775s | to rework the systems that currently |
| 776s | exist which hamper that which which |
| 779s | destroy all those dreams that we need to |
| 782s | rework and focus on and another thing |
| 785s | that can affect us is the agency which |
| 789s | in the conversations that we've had like |
| 791s | last night and a little bit today you |
| 794s | guys getting close to those elite |
| 798s | players with their mark the years of |
| 800s | tenure that you have getting close to |
| 803s | your seven average seven point one years |
| 804s | and so things like the agency aren't |
| 807s | maybe not the most obvious place for you |
| 811s | guys to find content when it comes to |
| 814s | you but there's there's a great deal to |
| 820s | do in in the game and it can often be |
| 822s | very overwhelming for new players to |
| 824s | find what they want to do what could |
| 825s | interest them how that best fits with |
| 828s | their gameplay style and so we're |
| 830s | spending time on working with agency |
| 833s | making things easier for people to find |
| 836s | dependent regardless of their skill or |
| 838s | knowledge level helping people find |
| 841s | content that appeals to them so |
| 843s | ultimately so that they under |
| 846s | find their passion and bump into you |
| 849s | guys somewhere out there in space and |
| 851s | eventually become part of your ranks we |
| 853s | want people to grow in their eave |
| 856s | careers and that means that in the |
| 857s | beginning we need to help them find what |
| 859s | it is that they're interested in so |
| 862s | we're going to be bringing back the |
| 864s | agent find out |
| 865s | and making career agents a lot more |
| 868s | prominent so that right in the very |
| 871s | early stages people can learn more and |
| 874s | be be guided a little bit better on what |
| 878s | they need and of course there's going to |
| 879s | be lists or agents who want more |
| 882s | advanced more advanced capsuleers to |
| 886s | take on tasks and in the higher skills |
| 887s | we're also going to be working on adding |
| 890s | a little bit more spatial I suppose |
| 895s | spatial awareness listing the types of |
| 899s | things that you might encounter that's |
| 900s | close by and what what could be there |
| 902s | what could be out there and this is not |
| 904s | going to be limited just to combat and |
| 907s | mining sites as we progress and as we |
| 910s | iterate into the future faction warfare |
| 914s | and abyssal content is also going to |
| 916s | start appearing so this is gonna all |
| 919s | happen in stages and you just this is |
| 922s | why we're spending time on this as we |
| 923s | were talking a little bit before about |
| 926s | making sure that people have a good |
| 929s | grounding or a good understanding of |
| 930s | what's out there what they could |
| 932s | experience and how they could develop us |
| 934s | as players and again this is a little |
| 938s | placeholder slide because I I'm just |
| 944s | gonna talk about going back to something |
| 948s | that CCP Hellman I said with how the |
| 952s | majority of elite players and Eve really |
| 955s | identify as helpers and it's it comes |
| 958s | off it comes up a lot in conversations |
| 960s | as well where these people are but I |
| 963s | really enjoy telling people this or I |
| 965s | hang out and the in the help channel or |
| 968s | can't you let me back into a rookie help |
| 970s | which comes up blood oh there's just a |
| 972s | bunch of you guys and you all help each |
| 973s | other while you're in your call and so |
| 975s | we I'm very proud to be working on the |
| 980s | team that helped put this in this next |
| 983s | feature and this is the help pointer |
| 986s | I'll just play it |
| 991s | [Music] |
| 997s | the one |
| 999s | and what they doing is creating links |
| 1003s | which the the one who's being held |
| 1005s | clicks on and then UI UI pointer will |
| 1011s | tell him different aspects so you no |
| 1013s | longer have to try and explain to |
| 1015s | somebody |
| 1015s | oh you know when you click on the three |
| 1017s | little lines above your portrait up on |
| 1019s | the left and then you go down and it's |
| 1021s | the third one on the bottom and then all |
| 1023s | that no no no no more of that you can |
| 1026s | just simply create the chatter create |
| 1028s | the links and sorry I forgot to mention |
| 1047s | that's going to be in the neocon and |
| 1049s | utilities so you just only the three |
| 1051s | little lines at the top and it's okay |
| 1053s | don't I'd swear you're the notepad and |
| 1056s | the calculator anyway so going back to |
| 1062s | what I mentioned before about as I and |
| 1064s | Ian you've on an evasion is we're |
| 1069s | introducing a bunch more brand-new sorry |
| 1075s | and new content and I'm dying so I'm |
| 1080s | gonna get C's Balearic and to talk about |
| 1081s | this but yes yeah |
| 1084s | brand new challenges brand new stuff |
| 1086s | [Applause] |
| 1092s | so coming in EVE Online invasion we are |
| 1096s | going to see the introduction of three |
| 1098s | brand new tech to Triglav Ian ships and |
| 1106s | these hulls were designed from the |
| 1108s | ground up to go on the offensive |
| 1110s | now the stats are finalized and all of |
| 1112s | their bonuses so we're going to take a |
| 1113s | look in a second but before we take a |
| 1116s | look I I just think we need to |
| 1118s | understand how important this moment is |
| 1121s | because we're establishing how you |
| 1124s | pronounce the names of these ships |
| 1127s | forever okay so like I cannot get this |
| 1132s | wrong all right so just just being me |
| 1135s | bear with me please |
| 1136s | so this is the first one and it's the |
| 1139s | Nergal it's a tattoo variant of the demo |
| 1143s | Vic and it's an extremely strong |
| 1145s | short-range brawler dangerous enough to |
| 1148s | even go up against largest ships once |
| 1150s | they ramp up the damage given its role |
| 1153s | bonuses it'll also be pretty decent at |
| 1155s | remote repair and this will make it |
| 1157s | great for abyssal fleet runs or if you |
| 1159s | know you just want to bring it along on |
| 1160s | a frigate and do sort of some sort of |
| 1162s | dual DPS repair role I know that never |
| 1165s | goes sideways next up is the dragger |
| 1171s | it's the tech tree version of the kim |
| 1174s | amaura this whole trade some of the |
| 1177s | kimmm ores are ranged for command bonus |
| 1180s | historico men destroy bonuses and it can |
| 1183s | use a marker jump field generator as |
| 1184s | well his damage output is is pretty high |
| 1187s | making it versatile versatile enough for |
| 1190s | a bunch of different compositions and |
| 1191s | it's the only command burst ship that is |
| 1195s | able to use both skirmish and |
| 1197s | information warfare command bonuses yeah |
| 1200s | that's right and finally there's the |
| 1204s | Iquitos are the tech to cruiser it's |
| 1208s | based originally on the ved Mac and |
| 1211s | probably the scariest of all three of |
| 1214s | these brand new ships it's you know we |
| 1217s | took the Vette Mac and we're like maybe |
| 1218s | we should make it even tougher |
| 1220s | so it has tech to bonuses and the |
| 1223s | ability to fit an assault damage control |
| 1225s | it has huge damage potential with the |
| 1229s | weapon ram up ramp up and plenty of room |
| 1232s | for utility high slots and the fitting |
| 1234s | room to actually be able to fit them as |
| 1236s | well so for those of you guys who are |
| 1241s | skilled into Triglav Ian's ships all |
| 1243s | these three ships will be available in |
| 1245s | just four days with even lion invasion |
| 1248s | and we're super excited to see what you |
| 1250s | do with them but what would be new ships |
| 1253s | with also without us also adding new you |
| 1256s | know plasmids as well so with the |
| 1258s | induction of the trigger avian heavy |
| 1261s | assault ship and soul frigate we're |
| 1264s | going to introduce some even line |
| 1266s | invasion we'll see the introduction of |
| 1268s | three brand new muta plasmid groups |
| 1270s | damage controls assault damage controls |
| 1274s | and ancillary shield and armor repair is |
| 1279s | the benefits of the trigger IV and arm |
| 1282s | race just keep coming to pilots brave |
| 1285s | enough to challenge them tips also |
| 1300s | rewards for its coming but basically |
| 1302s | what it comes down to is the two |
