| 16s | hello everyone hello Jana you guys all |
| 21s | have a good lunch I'm CeCe Fozzie |
| 26s | I'm CCP Lebowski yeah good classroom |
| 31s | ASCII we're presenting the eve |
| 37s | development variety hour so this is give |
| 39s | me a presentation that goes over a |
| 40s | number of different topics across Eve |
| 42s | development sort of collecting some |
| 44s | stuff that has already happened some |
| 45s | stuff it's in the near future and some |
| 48s | stuff that maybe maybe comes beyond that |
| 50s | so we're gonna start off by looking back |
| 52s | a bit on the the invasion expansions of |
| 54s | the jacobian invasions war decks UI |
| 57s | improvements special focus on the agency |
| 59s | we're gonna then talk about some near |
| 61s | future changes a few things that are |
| 63s | coming pretty soon and that'll be on the |
| 65s | test server you guys to play with in the |
| 67s | next very short while and then we're |
| 71s | gonna have a special section with a peek |
| 72s | at some unconformity types some things |
| 75s | that we can't promise but we want to |
| 77s | start getting your feedback these are |
| 78s | things that we're experimenting with and |
| 80s | we really want to hear what you think |
| 82s | about them here what kind of stuff you |
| 83s | like and don't like about them and get |
| 85s | your help testing them soon so we want |
| 87s | to start discussing them here but again |
| 88s | wanted set expectations those are things |
| 90s | that are potential future not guaranteed |
| 94s | but let's start by talking a bit about |
| 97s | the invasion expansion yes so one of the |
| 102s | big features of the invasion expansion |
| 104s | was the changes the final a part of a |
| 107s | series of war declaration changes that |
| 109s | we've been doing now for a little over |
| 112s | half a year I think it is so we're just |
| 115s | going to talk through a little bit of |
| 116s | those to start with and what exactly |
| 118s | those consisted of firstly I just want |
| 120s | to say a huge thanks to everyone who |
| 122s | helped us providing feedback and bug |
| 125s | reports for this feature we were really |
| 127s | happy to be able to do this slowly over |
| 129s | a number of months with with feedback |
| 131s | from the from the community and from the |
| 133s | CSM it's been really invaluable in like |
| 135s | shaping this feature into what it's |
| 137s | become so just a quick recap of what |
| 140s | consisted of so in December last year we |
| 143s | changed the we added war eligibility the |
| 146s | idea that to be eligible for warfare you |
| 150s | needed to have a structure so we tied |
| 152s | the structure system into the war system |
| 154s | and then in March we did a series of bug |
| 158s | fixes series of like loophole fixes to |
| 160s | the war system I changed some ways that |
| 163s | people could shrug off wars and avoid |
| 164s | them and these were things that we |
| 166s | definitely wouldn't have been able to do |
| 167s | without all the bug reports people gave |
| 168s | us absolutely yeah so that really really |
| 170s | helped and then in April it was the |
| 173s | removal of neutral remote reps in |
| 175s | high-security space and then as we say |
| 183s | in May this was our large series of |
| 186s | changes that we made so this was adding |
| 188s | the concepts of war headquarters we |
| 191s | improved mutual wars and removed them |
| 193s | from the normal war system we simplified |
| 196s | the costs of warfare and we made a lot |
| 198s | of UI improvements for the war system so |
| 203s | those were things like this page that we |
| 206s | added so wars like a lot of like |
| 210s | long-standing features and eve older |
| 212s | features tend to be one of those systems |
| 213s | that's that's very hidden very behind |
| 216s | the scenes and doesn't really get |
| 217s | explained or shown in game very well and |
| 219s | so we really keen when we got to do this |
| 222s | iteration to bring a lot of that |
| 223s | information into the game for you guys |
| 225s | so this is there for new players who are |
| 227s | on her experiencing this system for the |
| 229s | first time and also providing |
| 231s | information for any kind of person |
| 233s | involved in the war system for many |
| 234s | years the only place where this |
| 236s | information was available in the client |
| 237s | was in the notification you get when you |
| 239s | first start the war and people had to |
| 241s | rely on third-party websites we |
| 243s | absolutely loved the Eve uni wiki but as |
| 245s | much as possible you should be to learn |
| 246s | about how the game works from within the |
| 248s | client and that's something that we were |
| 249s | doing with the agency as well as with |
| 250s | this new war homepage absolutely and |
| 252s | this also led to what might hold the |
| 255s | record for the largest tooltip in EVE |
| 257s | Online |
| 259s | so we're very proud of that explain your |
| 262s | allies yes yes so this was really good |
| 265s | and we also this was all part of an idea |
| 270s | that we didn't want the first time |
| 272s | people to experience was to be someone |
| 274s | killing you in high second you don't |
| 275s | know why so we did a lot of work to make |
| 278s | sure that this stuff was clear to people |
| 279s | you have now this icon in the character |
| 282s | selection screen that details what was |
| 285s | you're involved in to let you know just |
| 287s | in the same way that we tell you whether |
| 289s | you're in space to be careful when |
| 291s | you're logging in we also added this to |
| 293s | the character sheet so you can see any |
| 295s | aggressive Wars you're involved in and |
| 297s | finally we added this to the in-space UI |
| 299s | as well so anyone who's currently |
| 301s | involved in wars and they can see this |
| 302s | in the space scene this was like I say |
| 306s | just really to try and make it really |
| 309s | integrate into the client in a way that |
| 310s | it wasn't before into the game and we |
| 312s | also finally added this little warning |
| 315s | for undocking while doing during a war |
| 320s | yeah that's pretty good I really love |
| 323s | the fact we're able to just like sneak |
| 324s | in the golden rule of EVE into this as a |
| 326s | reminder in case someone hasn't seen it |
| 328s | already you know always good you know |
| 329s | always fly ships you can afford to lose |
| 331s | yep yeah so that was really good and |
| 332s | then there was a few other kind of like |
| 334s | ways that we integrated the new system |
| 336s | into the existing mechanic into the |
| 338s | existing UI so for example we did a |
| 341s | slight polish on the war report where we |
| 343s | added the HQ and made some changes to |
| 344s | this top section and then some house the |
| 348s | housekeeping that we did as well we |
| 350s | moved the kill report section of the cop |
| 353s | in the cup winner from the war section |
| 355s | to the home tab because it's really |
| 356s | something that you refer to |
| 357s | outside of Wars so yeah so we after May |
| 362s | we're now in what we'd probably call |
| 364s | like a transition period for for the |
| 366s | wars and this is because any new Wars |
| 369s | made after may require a HQ structure to |
| 372s | be in high tech but there are still |
| 375s | existing wars from before the change |
| 377s | that are ongoing without HD use so we've |
| 381s | got some stats here some of these I |
| 382s | think you'll have seen before for burger |
| 385s | but we've got a few more for you as well |
| 387s | so as of Wednesday when we took the data |
| 390s | before we flew out here |
| 392s | there were 96 ongoing mutual wars there |
| 396s | were a hundred and twelve Wars on going |
| 398s | from before the change that don't have h |
| 400s | qs and there were 272 was with h qs |
| 404s | existing on that day so we are planning |
| 408s | to phase out all these old wars that |
| 410s | without h qs initially we said that that |
| 412s | would be at the end of july we're we're |
| 414s | just now aligning that with the intended |
| 416s | release date for the closest release to |
| 419s | that and that's going currently |
| 421s | scheduled to be on August 13 so we'll |
| 423s | make sure that we update all our |
| 424s | documents and make sure you know this |
| 425s | yep so if you have a war that's still |
| 427s | running without an HQ you can keep it |
| 429s | running in that state until August 13th |
| 431s | but you're also welcome to let that war |
| 434s | lapse and relaunch a new one ahead of |
| 436s | time with the HQ so you'll be ready for |
| 437s | the transition that's right and we |
| 439s | actually with the new system allow you |
| 441s | to like spool up a war again with a HQ |
| 445s | without any downtime in the war so you |
| 447s | can transition quite nicely from the |
| 448s | other system to be a new system there so |
| 451s | we've got some stats from this release |
| 453s | now so obviously this is about a month |
| 456s | after the release now so it's still very |
| 458s | early on but we have some interesting |
| 460s | stats for you again these are from |
| 462s | Wednesday of this week before we flew |
| 464s | out so we have like we said 272 Wars |
| 469s | existing with HQ structures those wars |
| 474s | are have h only seven th Q's in total |
| 477s | unique h qs which seems to suggest that |
| 480s | at least now the the prevailing strategy |
| 483s | is to bunch your wars together on on one |
| 486s | structure so of course we gave people |
| 487s | the option you can either spread out |
| 489s | your wars across multiple structures if |
| 490s | you have multiple structures you can |
| 492s | have like a different war HQ for each |
| 494s | war or you can bunch them all together |
| 495s | and so far at least people seem to be |
| 497s | preferring bunch him altogether and |
| 498s | we'll see how that changes in the future |
| 500s | whether it stays the same and we like to |
| 502s | give people the flexibility whatever |
| 503s | possible and yes cool to see how people |
| 506s | musing it and maybe that will have |
| 507s | changed after yesterday yeah I think |
| 510s | people will be less likely to to put |
| 511s | wasn't same structure there is one |
| 513s | structure right now or early Wednesday |
| 515s | on Wednesday that was hosting 44 wars at |
| 520s | once it's not the one that everyone was |
| 522s | fighting over yesterday no that's not |
| 523s | what this is |
| 525s | one also at a lot but this one had even |
| 526s | more yeah and this is probably a great |
| 528s | time to remind everyone that if you |
| 530s | click on any structure and go through |
| 531s | its show info window in space it lists |
| 533s | every war that it's involved in so make |
| 535s | sure you check in those strategic |
| 536s | structures guys so yeah so as of |
| 540s | Wednesday forty nine wars had ended so |
| 542s | far German higher now yeah a little bit |
| 544s | higher now yeah like almost double |
| 548s | they've ended due to the loss or removal |
| 550s | of a HQ structure and then we've also |
| 552s | got the stats of what kind of structures |
| 554s | are being used for wars so you can see |
| 558s | here that the most prevalent one is the |
| 560s | Astra house and then the right arrow so |
| 562s | that that seems to make sense a lot of |
| 564s | the cheaper structures are being used |
| 565s | for war declarations we then have some |
| 568s | ethanol stand fort as ours once the tier |
| 571s | 1 ounce built and then I think the price |
| 573s | definitely goes to the drunkest for a |
| 575s | Tsar for stylish choice it's a very |
| 578s | stylish choice and then we just want to |
| 582s | show you guys some of a couple of the |
| 584s | stats that we've been looking at a |
| 585s | couple of the metrics moving tracking |
| 587s | that were very kind of indicative before |
| 590s | we made these changes of the problems |
| 592s | with the war system and then obviously |
| 593s | now we're keeping a close eye on after |
| 596s | the changes to make sure that our |
| 597s | changes are having a good effect one of |
| 600s | the things we saw a lot was that there |
| 603s | are a lot of wars that existed in New |
| 604s | Eden that didn't promote conflict |
| 607s | obviously with a formalized system like |
| 609s | a war system you want it to be |
| 611s | encouraging activity you want it to be |
| 612s | getting people out and fighting and that |
| 615s | was something that the old system was |
| 616s | really failing to do and a lot of times |
| 618s | so this was one of the stats we were |
| 620s | looking at for this as you can see at |
| 622s | the top there this is the percentage of |
| 626s | nonmutual wars out there that have PvP |
| 629s | kills each day you can see as we started |
| 631s | to make these changes in december and |
| 633s | then going through to May this has had a |
| 634s | pretty sustained increase so far which |
| 637s | is nice to see this is the stat that |
| 638s | Berger was talking about the 40% |
| 640s | increase it's not just for the increase |
| 642s | of the number of wars that have a kill |
| 644s | total it's been a kill in any given day |
| 647s | too so this is showing what percentage |
| 649s | and we've taken away the the label on |
| 651s | the wax there but it's a linear scale |
| 655s | starting at zero |
| 657s | yes kind of figure out the the ratios |
| 658s | from that yeah but obviously this that |
| 661s | wouldn't be really very descriptive by |
| 664s | itself because obviously we don't want |
| 666s | to have the resolve the system being |
| 667s | very is much more warfare happening and |
| 670s | it's only the aggressors or only the |
| 673s | defenders that are now winning so also |
| 675s | one of the things we've been looking at |
| 676s | during this time is the ratio of |
| 678s | attacker versus defender losses and we |
| 682s | wanted to see that that would start to |
| 683s | normalize closer to a more even split |
| 686s | between the two |
| 687s | obviously aggressors are much more |
| 690s | likely to get pills because obviously |
| 692s | they're the active of participant |
| 693s | they're the ones choosing the war but we |
| 696s | want to see that normalized to a more |
| 698s | comfortable level and we can see here |
| 700s | there are though obviously this graph is |
| 702s | very spiky based on lots of different |
| 704s | words that happen that we're seeing kind |
| 706s | of a sustained evening out of this of |
| 709s | this ratio so lower here is more even |
| 712s | higher would be the attacker getting |
| 714s | more kills than the defender so this is |
| 717s | promising we're obviously still really |
| 719s | early on in this process in terms of |
| 721s | like watching these metrics things like |
| 725s | this take a long time to shake out in |
| 726s | evil there's a long time for the kind of |
| 728s | cultures to change and people's |
| 730s | experiences was to really come to the |
| 732s | front so we're going to be keeping an |
| 733s | eye on this stuff going forward and you |
| 735s | know obviously be hoping to react should |
| 738s | and it stirred everything kind of |
| 739s | troubling come out of this but so far |
| 741s | we're cautiously optimistic this is done |
| 743s | this is done good yeah one good example |
| 745s | of some of the reacting we've already |
| 746s | done is this coming Tuesday we've got |
| 749s | some fixes to these flow for applying to |
| 751s | be an ally in a war and retracting it we |
| 754s | can prove that you I quite a bit as a |
| 756s | follow-up because we just got some good |
| 758s | feedback from you guys that that needed |
| 759s | some work after the initial launch and |
| 761s | got that incoming this upcoming Tuesday |
| 764s | yes of course one of the other big |
| 769s | features of the invasion expansion is |
| 771s | the true Lobby invasion unsurprisingly |
| 774s | this has been really cool to watch you |
| 777s | guys as you've been engaging with this |
| 779s | content and exploring it I'm sure most |
| 782s | people have realized by now if you watch |
| 784s | say the end of the keynote or any of the |
| 786s | scope videos or just keep an eye on |
| 787s | highsec the travel union and collective |
| 789s | is in beta |
| 790s | known space primarily highsec with a bit |
| 792s | of lowsec as well so far capsuleers have |
| 796s | encountered several forms of these for |
| 797s | lobbying forces so they've got the |
| 799s | romaine npcs these guys move all around |
| 801s | the invaded systems they're in varied |
| 803s | sizes it's definitely worth being |
| 806s | careful when you're an age for driving |
| 807s | invaded system because some of these |
| 808s | guys have scramblers and they can do a |
| 810s | lot of damage we've also been seeing |
| 813s | minor conduits for these sites conker |
| 816s | recommends groups of like one two three |
| 817s | capsuleers it is definitely doable with |
| 819s | one but it gets a lot easier when you |
| 820s | have two or three the major conduits |
| 823s | which have came out a little bit later |
| 824s | for them were recommending five to six |
| 827s | players and the world arcs which just |
| 830s | started appearing this last week and |
| 832s | Concord recommends 10 to 15 caps there's |
| 834s | four of them and with all of these of |
| 835s | course because it's open world PV you're |
| 838s | absolutely welcome to bring fewer you're |
| 840s | absolutely welcome more and the payouts |
| 843s | will kind of scale according to that but |
| 845s | these are just a good guideline to get |
| 847s | you started some of the benefits |
| 849s | captures have already started getting |
| 850s | from engaging with this content the |
| 852s | materials the skills the data core is |
| 854s | used to manufacturer and invent the new |
| 857s | trade Wahby and tech new ship we'll talk |
| 858s | a bit more about those soon but we've |
| 860s | been seeing a lot of people have a lot |
| 861s | of fun with those ships you also get the |
| 863s | survey data of the red loot you can turn |
| 864s | in forests directly to NPCs so new muta |
| 868s | plasmids which for the first time |
| 869s | include damage controlled muta plasmids |
| 871s | and faction and officer Triglav Ian |
| 875s | modules so we've already been seeing a |
| 877s | few of those guys pings dropped and I |
| 879s | think there's gonna be some very very |
| 881s | cool fits with Tribble of each of these |
| 883s | modules definitely yeah do you want to |
| 885s | really bling out you're already very |
| 887s | blingy ship yeah we're also seeing DDL p |
| 894s | and s payouts for pushing back the |
| 896s | conduits and road arks the LP stores for |
| 898s | DD includes some of the skill books and |
| 900s | data cores that you can get as drops as |
| 902s | well and also includes a bunch of new |
| 904s | unique skins so we've got some skins for |
| 906s | some ships across all the different |
| 907s | factions as well as some new high-end |
| 910s | skins for the nutrient active ship so |
| 912s | those are the first skins available for |
| 914s | those ships so you've got some stats |
| 917s | about the invasion for you guys like the |
| 919s | other ones these are as of Wednesday |
| 921s | June 19th so at this point this is |
| 923s | actually a bit |
| 924s | a newer version of the same stat than |
| 926s | what Berger showed you you know |
| 928s | difference between I was taking us down |
| 929s | yeah yeah |
| 930s | as of Wednesday the capsuleers had |
| 934s | killed a little over 900,000 Drago NPCs |
| 937s | I can say with quite a bit of confidence |
| 939s | you guys are over a million now and |
| 943s | renewing diavik's as of Wednesday had |
| 945s | died the most times with set one hundred |
| 947s | seventy two thousand eight hundred and |
| 949s | fifty three losses just with that one |
| 951s | NPC type a little were five thousands |
| 954s | aureus |
| 955s | ships have been killed these are the the |
| 957s | faction and officer spawns that can be |
| 960s | sometimes a little bit rare but also |
| 961s | give you the best loot and yeah as of |
| 964s | Wednesday Triglav Ian's had killed |
| 966s | fifteen thousand seven hundred twenty |
| 968s | six cops leadership's worth an estimated |
| 970s | as burger already showed you guys little |
| 972s | over one point four trillion esc' so and |
| 975s | that numbers also even higher at this |
| 977s | point because this is from a few days |
| 978s | ago you guys the capsular is definitely |
| 981s | happy the there is positive I think |
| 984s | total yes yeah but but it's not been |
| 988s | without some losses along the way I'd be |
| 990s | happy with that kill bugs yeah so as I |
| 993s | mentioned before one of the big things |
| 995s | that came out of this invasion is a |
| 996s | whole new set of ships including the |
| 999s | Nergal this is the nutria globby an |
| 1001s | assault frigate very very tanky frigate |
| 1003s | so we've got some cool little tidbits |
| 1005s | about this ship and the way you guys |
| 1007s | have been using it and building it so |
| 1008s | far so the first one to get manufactured |
| 1010s | it was by this guy says desir'd you know |
| 1014s | of Tranquility bank so congratulations |
| 1017s | to him for getting the first nerble |
| 1019s | produced as of wednesday they've taken |
| 1022s | over 12,000 jumps been involved in a |
| 1023s | little over a thousand kills with 43 |
| 1026s | recorded losses so very very solid kill |
| 1029s | stats there the first kill that anyone |
| 1033s | made with the Nergal was a jackal MDC |
| 1036s | getting a practice yeah yeah and the |
| 1042s | first loss of a Nergal was also killed |
| 1046s | by gal he using his noodle he killed |
| 1048s | another Nergal a little bit later on the |
| 1050s | same day I don't know if you guys |
| 1051s | noticed but it was about an hour and a |
| 1052s | half later yeah so he had a good night |
| 1055s | mm-hmm this is the draugar that's the |
| 1059s | command destroyer for the Triglav Ian's |
| 1061s | I know a lot of people have been really |
| 1063s | enjoying the Triglav Ian ships coming |
| 1067s | before this is going to be an upgrade in |
| 1069s | a lot of ways for small-scale solo PvP |
| 1073s | and people who were really enjoying it |
| 1075s | the first one manufactured was by the |
| 1077s | same guy says Barrino got himself the |
| 1081s | first |
| 1081s | Nergal and the first dragger produced |
| 1083s | got him to the first to market probably |
| 1084s | made it made some good money on those |
| 1086s | yeah the prices are always the highest |
| 1088s | we're at the beginning so far as again |
| 1090s | Wednesday taken over 5000 jumps got |
| 1092s | involved in just under a thousand kills |
| 1094s | with 25 recorded losses so even better |
| 1096s | kill death ratio the first kill st. |
| 1100s | Lucifer of thorns syndicate decided to |
| 1104s | to start off this ship nice and easy |
| 1106s | get a good ass I know abyss kill ya it's |
| 1109s | all that stuff yeah just break the seal |
| 1111s | and the first loss was killed by Fame of |
| 1116s | African atomic and a big shout out to |
| 1119s | the guy who lost that first dragger |
| 1122s | whose jetty streamer I was running |
| 1124s | around with that thing definitely some |
| 1127s | guts on him to be flying a really |
| 1129s | expensive ship in the early days and |
| 1131s | risking it and I think hopefully he had |
| 1134s | a really good time with it |
| 1135s | yeah bleeding you know a little bit as |
| 1136s | well yeah and then this is the echo |
| 1141s | Theresa the heavy assault Cruiser from |
| 1144s | the Trudeau viens the first one of them |
| 1147s | manufactured was hauler Mick hall and |
| 1149s | arthi many I'm assuming is it all thank |
| 1151s | you I think it might be at all yeah |
| 1154s | moose army so far I got as a Wednesday |
| 1158s | they'd taken over 14,000 jumps involved |
| 1160s | in almost 2000 kills with about 74 |
| 1163s | losses again really really good stats |
| 1167s | the first kill was a scimitar so this |
| 1171s | guy karakash |
| 1173s | a sauce of a coup Pulsar got himself a |
| 1177s | horde scimitar nice and early on and the |
| 1181s | first loss of Annika Theresa was |
| 1183s | actually by the Triglav Ian's taking |
| 1185s | back because there |
| 1190s | good job trick this is a very very good |
| 1193s | ship for the abyss but even the best |
| 1196s | ships doesn't guarantee survival yeah |
| 1202s | the question was what is the level the |
| 1205s | best he was in I'm actually not sure it |
| 1206s | is a very good question no I'm not sure |
| 1208s | mm-hmm |
| 1209s | we could probably find out but I don't |
| 1210s | have access to that data here yeah |
| 1213s | we've also been making a whole bunch of |
| 1215s | UI improvements in the abyss expansion |
| 1217s | so a little Honorable Mention elf cccp |
| 1221s | burger already talked at length about |
| 1222s | this so I'm not going to go into too |
| 1224s | much detail here but the agency |
| 1226s | iteration and redesign was great to see |
| 1230s | that going out and did get some really |
| 1232s | good free really good praise and |
| 1234s | feedback from people so yeah this is a |
| 1236s | great place and its really kind of ties |
| 1238s | ties into that idea of us being like |
| 1241s | providing the tools in-game the |
| 1242s | information that players need to find |
| 1244s | the content they want to do and |
| 1245s | understand the mechanics of this |
| 1247s | insanely huge complex game so that's |
| 1250s | been really good it's been really great |
| 1252s | to see things like the X the explanation |
| 1254s | of faction warfare that's in the agency |
| 1256s | from somebody just doesn't know what |
| 1257s | this fw thing is it's the best |
| 1259s | explanation of fw we've ever had in the |
| 1261s | client explanations of abyssal dead |
| 1263s | space there's all this stuff that you |
| 1264s | know you just want to explore what kind |
| 1266s | of things you can do and Eve and the |
| 1268s | abyssal to get some him or the agency |
| 1269s | will give you some hints yes and then |
| 1271s | another UI feature that we brought out |
| 1274s | during this expansion was the UI |
| 1276s | pointers for anyone who hasn't |
| 1279s | experienced this feature yet this was a |
| 1281s | feature that was almost entirely |
| 1285s | community sourced in terms of |
| 1287s | suggestions there was something I know I |
| 1289s | had long conversations with people at |
| 1291s | Vegas last year about and I know CCP |
| 1293s | Karkar was super interested in this idea |
| 1295s | and took it took it to completion here |
| 1297s | so this is a system where you can create |
| 1300s | chat links that people can click that |
| 1303s | would give them a tooltip to show them |
| 1304s | places in the UI so you can link people |
| 1307s | to you know different neocon buttons all |
| 1309s | those kind of things so it's really |
| 1311s | really useful a great teaching tool for |
| 1313s | for kind of early on but just benefits |
| 1317s | everyone generally this kind of feature |
| 1318s | so so far we've had |
| 1321s | over 11,000 links have been created and |
| 1323s | shared and of those 11,000 links they've |
| 1326s | been clicked over 76,000 times so that's |
| 1329s | a really good uptake yeah so I have here |
| 1333s | the most clicked links the top three in |
| 1337s | in ascending order so we're gonna start |
| 1339s | with the the third most click links so |
| 1342s | if you have any guesses then please feel |
| 1344s | free you guys guess yeah |
| 1349s | character she we did hear the right |
| 1351s | answer there number three is character |
| 1353s | she's yes the number three car shaped |
| 1354s | with a sheet with four 4880 clicks this |
| 1358s | is an interesting one that's actually |
| 1359s | promoted as some interesting discussion |
| 1361s | internally as well because it may be |
| 1363s | character she is one of the few buttons |
| 1365s | in the Neo come that doesn't really look |
| 1367s | so always clear that that's gonna be |
| 1369s | about so this was quite it is this could |
| 1371s | be potentially a little bit revealing |
| 1372s | maybe we would want to take a further |
| 1374s | look at that and why that might be |
| 1375s | something that you need to tell me |
| 1376s | people about it's also something that |
| 1378s | new players of course need to use right |
| 1379s | away you'll start their training so yeah |
| 1381s | it's a really really valuable piece of |
| 1383s | UI any guests for the second most |
| 1385s | clicked I mean it's a it's a heard the |
| 1393s | guess yeah but this is this is one of |
| 1396s | those ones that's gonna be surprising at |
| 1397s | first and then it'll make sense yeah |
| 1398s | yeah it's a little bit of a meta pick |
| 1400s | it's the point of window yeah so just |
| 1404s | beat the character she by a few clicks |
| 1407s | this was actually great because as many |
| 1410s | of you may know a lot of dev seen |
| 1412s | especially QA will be in the help chats |
| 1415s | on the day one of a release and it was |
| 1416s | kind of heartening to see everyone |
| 1418s | telling everyone about the point or |
| 1419s | window by sharing the link to the point |
| 1421s | window hey there's this really cool |
| 1422s | thing it shows you where things are it |
| 1426s | was great and the I have to tell you |
| 1430s | right now that number one Dwarfs the |
| 1432s | others and we've already heard it a |
| 1433s | couple of times I think you guys |
| 1434s | probably have a good idea of what it is |
| 1435s | it is the under yeah |
| 1438s | I really like this one this warmth my |
| 1445s | cold cold huh so yeah eleven thousand |
| 1447s | two hundred and sixty clicks already |
| 1449s | become a meme yeah this is this is |
| 1452s | really funny to see so yeah this was |
| 1455s | really good I know Kaka has been like |
| 1458s | looking for feedback on this feature and |
| 1460s | obviously in the future we may find that |
| 1462s | there are good cases for adding other |
| 1465s | pointers to this window of obviously it |
| 1467s | doesn't yet cover everything the eve has |
| 1469s | to offer but it's a really good really |
| 1471s | good tool and we're so glad that with |
| 1473s | the suggestions from players we've we've |
| 1476s | managed to get this out to you I'm sure |
| 1477s | it was suggested by a lot of people but |
| 1479s | a special shout-out to juris doctor who |
| 1482s | was talking to us a lot about this last |
| 1483s | year he was really really good so yeah |
| 1486s | so that's that's the UI pointers we're |
| 1488s | really happy with that feature now we're |
| 1491s | moving on from the retrospective section |
| 1493s | and on to some of the upcoming changes |
| 1496s | that you're going to see in the next few |
| 1499s | months of EVE Online so first off and |
| 1504s | this is really jumping off from what CCP |
| 1506s | Berger was talking about in the keynote |
| 1507s | today we've been really interested in |
| 1510s | looking for changes that are kind of |
| 1512s | good wins for new players but also just |
| 1514s | benefit the wider community of Eve so |
| 1517s | we've got a couple of those we'd like to |
| 1518s | share with you today |
| 1518s | one of these the first one is coming out |
| 1521s | on Tuesday of next week and this is a |
| 1524s | common thing that's office off being |
| 1526s | requested over the years so of course |
| 1530s | one of the things that you need to know |
| 1531s | when playing Eve Online is the |
| 1534s | information about NPCs that you're going |
| 1536s | to be fighting and I know people have |
| 1539s | compensated for this for a long time by |
| 1541s | using their BIOS and out of game tools |
| 1544s | but finally we're adding an attributes |
| 1546s | tab to all NPC's in the game |
| 1549s | [Music] |
| 1553s | so this yes of this we're really happy |
| 1557s | to finally get this to you so this is it |
| 1559s | shows you the relative damage types that |
| 1561s | they deal it won't give you exact |
| 1562s | numbers obviously we don't want to give |
| 1564s | too much away but it gives you the yeah |
| 1567s | we all want to overwhelm people do |
| 1568s | exactly yeah and then it gives you the |
| 1571s | structure armor and shield resistances |
| 1573s | of the target the damage dealing numbers |
| 1576s | includes both guns and missiles the vs |
| 1578s | uses so if they like in this case the |
| 1580s | sleepless defender it has both a gun and |
| 1581s | a missile and this shows you all four |
| 1583s | dem shapes because to the demo chapters |
| 1585s | done by gun two were done by missile |
| 1587s | absolutely yeah so this is we're really |
| 1588s | happy to get you to you finally this is |
| 1590s | a long long requested and hopefully will |
| 1592s | be really valuable for new players and |
| 1594s | for all players who are like wait hang |
| 1595s | on what is this NPC do again and you can |
| 1598s | use your bios for other things yes |
| 1599s | imagine imagine the possibilities so |
| 1602s | that's the discussion for this feature |
| 1604s | I've realised what I really want to do |
| 1605s | is add an NPC that has the like an |
| 1607s | inversion of that bio so it's my oh it's |
| 1610s | like a stereotypical player bio but from |
| 1612s | an NPCs perspective I'm listing all the |
| 1614s | damage resistances and the different |
| 1615s | like tech to caldari ships shoot this am |
| 1619s | our ships shoot this that would be great |
| 1622s | mmhmm yeah and then another change the |
| 1625s | is gonna be coming a little bit later |
| 1627s | but should be hitting the test server |
| 1628s | soon is another another quality of life |
| 1630s | improvement that we've been working on |
| 1632s | so this is a thing that can be confusing |
| 1636s | you know you're you're going to reload |
| 1638s | one of your weapons you go to the |
| 1639s | right-click menu you see this huge list |
| 1641s | of damos and you're like wait which one |
| 1644s | was the long-range and which one was the |
| 1646s | the one that does the kinetic damage so |
| 1649s | obviously more of a problem for new |
| 1651s | players like after sooner or later as a |
| 1653s | veteran you start to like have these |
| 1655s | things burned into your brain but we |
| 1657s | want to make that easier for everyone so |
| 1659s | this is a change that we're working on |
| 1661s | at the moment and it looks a little bit |
| 1662s | something like this |
| 1664s | [Music] |
| 1670s | so this is still working progress and |
| 1672s | we're really interested to hear your |
| 1673s | feedback about obviously exactly how |
| 1675s | this window looks but the thank you but |
| 1679s | they're the two the two notes here are |
| 1683s | yeah that it shows the top two damage |
| 1685s | types that each ammo ammunition does |
| 1687s | starting with the highest damage type |
| 1689s | and then some of you may have already |
| 1691s | noticed that it is also sorting it from |
| 1693s | top to bottom right range so yeah we |
| 1696s | hope this is gonna be really useful for |
| 1698s | people as and you know benefits new |
| 1700s | people but benefits everyone range bonus |
| 1705s | modifiers that is a good point yeah you |
| 1707s | get a bit of that of course with the the |
| 1708s | sorting by range but but yeah it would |
| 1710s | be cool to be able to put even more |
| 1712s | information in yes figure out the ways |
| 1714s | to show that nice and cleanly exactly |
| 1715s | it's always a balance between |
| 1716s | overloading people and and giving them |
| 1719s | exactly the information we want don't |
| 1721s | we're not gonna take any questions just |
| 1722s | now but opportunities yeah so yeah |
| 1727s | that's a couple of quality life things |
| 1728s | that are coming soon this one like I say |
| 1730s | will be on the test servers in the next |
| 1732s | few weeks and we hope to get your |
| 1733s | feedback on this yeah |
| 1735s | now a couple of other things that we've |
| 1737s | got coming up for the relative near |
| 1739s | future are some balanced improvements |
| 1741s | and if you guys watch the keynote you |
| 1744s | have a little bit of a hint of the first |
| 1745s | thing I'm going to be talking about |
| 1746s | which is the vex or Navy issue this is |
| 1749s | actually a picture of a normal back |
| 1750s | server but it's such a cool picture that |
| 1751s | aside to use it but they look pretty |
| 1753s | similar so we're making some changes to |
| 1756s | the Bexar Navy issue this is a ship that |
| 1758s | is one of the most dominant ships in the |
| 1760s | game in its role obviously the role that |
| 1763s | it's really good at is relatively low |
| 1765s | attention riding thanks to being very |
| 1767s | high damage with drones and being very |
| 1771s | easy to like hundred-man fit very cheap |
| 1774s | very easy to train to those are all very |
| 1777s | good things but when one ship has them |
| 1779s | all to that extreme it means that you |
| 1781s | don't get really good options of what |
| 1782s | ships to use there isn't really a good |
| 1784s | decision you can make about using |
| 1786s | different ships because one of them is |
| 1788s | just kind of the best it's also one of |
| 1790s | the most controversial ships for this |
| 1791s | very reason and yeah at the moment I can |
| 1794s | mention very good riding DPS low cost |
| 1796s | low attention required |
| 1798s | those are all things that attract people |
| 1799s | to the ship the primary goal of the |
| 1801s | changes we have in the pipeline for the |
| 1803s | ship is to improve the balance between |
| 1806s | the different riding ship options give |
| 1808s | you guys some good reasons to try out |
| 1809s | some other ships and we've in the past |
| 1812s | with the Vectra Navy issue just made |
| 1814s | some direct nerfs to it |
| 1816s | those have often ended up just leaving |
| 1818s | it in it's one strong role but making it |
| 1821s | really bad for anything else so that it |
| 1822s | would be getting any more shoved into |
| 1824s | the niche rather than getting a ship |
| 1827s | that maybes a bit more well-rounded so |
| 1829s | we're kind of building it back up from |
| 1830s | the ground we're gonna try something |
| 1832s | completely different with it and we're |
| 1834s | gonna give it a whole new roll |
| 1835s | so we're refocusing the vni strengths |
| 1837s | the new version of vni is going to have |
| 1840s | a combination of drone and gun DPS very |
| 1842s | similar to the normal vector it's going |
| 1845s | to have very high tracking bonuses and |
| 1846s | active armor tanking bonuses but it's |
| 1848s | gonna do a lot less drone damage you'll |
| 1850s | be at a combine drone and gun damage to |
| 1852s | do as much damage before but of course |
| 1854s | that then means more attention required |
| 1855s | you may have to be a bit closer range |
| 1857s | and you get benefits like it's gonna be |
| 1859s | a bit more agile it's going to be have |
| 1862s | much better tank with the active armor |
| 1864s | bonus so the next screen here is gonna |
| 1866s | have the stats I'm not expecting you |
| 1868s | guys to like memorize all this as most |
| 1869s | for the people they can screenshots at |
| 1870s | home what I will point out to you guys |
| 1872s | really important stuff |
| 1873s | the drone bandwidth in this version of |
| 1876s | the design drops to 75 so it's the same |
| 1878s | drone bandwidth as a normal vector it's |
| 1881s | getting an extra turret and getting a |
| 1883s | turret damage bonus getting a 10% |
| 1885s | tracking bonus to turrets and a 10% |
| 1888s | tracking bonus to drones so this is |
| 1890s | going to be a very high tracking chip |
| 1892s | which is a common theme among Navy ships |
| 1894s | so it's really cool to have that niche |
| 1895s | that it's gonna be extremely good at |
| 1897s | that role and it's gonna be the first |
| 1899s | Galante cruiser with a active armor rep |
| 1901s | bonus which is kind of mind-blowing that |
| 1903s | we haven't had one before because every |
| 1905s | other size category of ships has it yeah |
| 1907s | but yeah it's a glint a theme that |
| 1910s | hadn't written stretching and cruises |
| 1911s | before but now it is thanks to the new |
| 1913s | veteran aviation so this is something |
| 1915s | that is going to be on the test server |
| 1917s | for you guys to try out pretty soon and |
| 1919s | we're really interested here at this |
| 1920s | event what you guys think about this |
| 1921s | we're really interested to hear in on |
| 1924s | the test server and on the forums once |
| 1926s | you get you try it out what do think |
| 1927s | about this ship what is it what are you |
| 1928s | gonna use it for this ship I really |
| 1930s | believe is going to be very power |
| 1932s | but it may be very powerful for |
| 1933s | something is very different than what it |
| 1934s | is right now so we understand that's |
| 1936s | going to be a pretty jarring transition |
| 1938s | for some folks but it's still gonna be a |
| 1941s | ship I think that can be very exciting |
| 1943s | so another thing that we're working on |
| 1945s | it's somewhat related to the vni is some |
| 1948s | alpha clone drone skill changes so this |
| 1952s | is a targeted set of changes to the |
| 1953s | alpha clone set that's going to reduce |
| 1955s | the DPS of ratting with alpha alpha |
| 1958s | clone characters and the real big goal |
| 1961s | here is to help the war on BOTS yeah |
| 1962s | anything we can do that reduces the |
| 1964s | strength a little bit balances out to |
| 1966s | alpha characters for these kind of |
| 1969s | bodying these things that are very |
| 1973s | attractive for people in the body so |
| 1975s | things like the level for Kroeger |
| 1976s | missions things like null SEC v ni or |
| 1979s | drone rat in if we can make them a bit |
| 1982s | less powerful for alphas it makes the |
| 1984s | bands more effective whenever we do bad |
| 1985s | people because it means that if you we |
| 1987s | ban an Omega account and they have to |
| 1990s | like if they spit up another account |
| 1991s | they have to go through more effort to |
| 1992s | get that spun back up alphas can be very |
| 1994s | widely distributed they can move across |
| 1997s | a lot of characters so yeah this is just |
| 1999s | gonna tone it back a bit they're still |
| 2000s | gonna be very strong you're still going |
| 2002s | to do a lot with an alpha in this or to |
| 2004s | see n turn it back a bit so the goal |
| 2005s | here we're gonna be reducing heavy drone |
| 2007s | operation in the alpha set from 4 to 3 |
| 2010s | medium during operation from 5 to 4 and |
| 2012s | drone interfacing from 4 to 3 so it's |
| 2015s | one level down of each of those skills |
| 2017s | if you currently have those skills in an |
| 2019s | alpha character it'll be just like if |
| 2020s | you had trained some skills as an Omega |
| 2022s | and drop down to alpha they'll be locked |
| 2024s | until you go up to Omega set and for new |
| 2027s | Alpha characters they'll be completely |
| 2029s | blocked Intel again you upgrade just |
| 2032s | trying to raise the bar for those if |
| 2034s | those bars and just make it harder and |
| 2036s | harder for them to two or more penalties |
| 2038s | yeah and as always the war on box is a |
| 2041s | multi-pronged effort with a whole lot of |
| 2043s | people across these to be working on it |
| 2044s | and like CCB berger said big thanks to |
| 2047s | everyone who's been reporting bots and |
| 2049s | helping out with that that's a very |
| 2051s | valuable thing so keep it up another |
| 2053s | balance change that we've been talking |
| 2055s | about for a long time now I want to |
| 2057s | remind you guys again this is some new |
| 2060s | pirate implants so the last time we |
| 2063s | discussed this was immediately asked |
| 2065s | Eastern em we talked about the fact that |
| 2068s | the plan is being brought back at Easter |
| 2070s | damn and I mentioned a summer timeframe |
| 2072s | and we're in summer now and that is |
| 2074s | still on track so the goal is to start |
| 2077s | public testing in the next couple of |
| 2080s | weeks for a maybe late summer potential |
| 2083s | release if everything goes well we'll |
| 2085s | see how the feedback goes I want to give |
| 2087s | a huge thanks to everyone who's been |
| 2088s | participating the feedback thread on the |
| 2090s | forums that we put up after Easter damn |
| 2091s | we put up some proposed stats there and |
| 2093s | you guys had some really good |
| 2095s | suggestions and so we've made some |
| 2096s | changes to the plan based on the |
| 2097s | feedback in that thread that I want to |
| 2099s | talk about right now |
| 2101s | so one of them is we're gonna be toning |
| 2103s | back the initial launch of the shield |
| 2105s | slaves a little bit so the high-grade |
| 2108s | set will give about forty three and a |
| 2110s | half percent bonuses instead of the |
| 2111s | fifty three point six that you get from |
| 2113s | a armor slave we're gonna re-evaluate |
| 2115s | this after launch see how it goes if we |
| 2118s | need to buff it we can buff it if we |
| 2120s | need to know for we can nerf it but |
| 2121s | start off a little bit slower especially |
| 2124s | because you get essentially a dual |
| 2125s | benefit from a shield slave versus the |
| 2128s | armor ones because you also get benefits |
| 2129s | to regen we're also planning on buffing |
| 2132s | the savior set this is the new angel set |
| 2134s | that buffs the cycle time of the sub |
| 2139s | capital remote logistics modules both |
| 2141s | shield and armor and is where it's gonna |
| 2143s | give it a stronger bonus so the high |
| 2145s | grade set will be twenty six point eight |
| 2146s | four percent reduction in cycle time |
| 2148s | versus twenty eight point seven and |
| 2151s | we're also planning on bucking some of |
| 2153s | the older sets that haven't been |
| 2154s | performing very well specifically in |
| 2155s | this case the halo and Centurion sets |
| 2157s | the halo has really been struggling in |
| 2160s | competing with the snakes |
| 2161s | the snakes also make it easier to tank |
| 2163s | and then they also give you of course |
| 2165s | the mobility benefits of the speed |
| 2167s | getting yourself in positions you need |
| 2168s | to get to so we're going to just |
| 2170s | increase the strength of the halo a |
| 2171s | little bit and for the Centurion set |
| 2173s | these are the ones that provide II wore |
| 2174s | optimal range we're planning on and |
| 2176s | giving them a war fall-off as well so |
| 2181s | now a couple other things that we've |
| 2182s | talked about a bit before with balance |
| 2184s | but I want to bring up again that's |
| 2185s | still on the short term roadmap we're |
| 2187s | planning on making some changes to |
| 2189s | shield and capacitor regen modules |
| 2192s | significantly buffing them while also |
| 2194s | giving them stacking penalties so the |
| 2196s | goal here is to make sure that |
| 2198s | modules are valuable to be used in small |
| 2201s | numbers without having to build your |
| 2202s | entire ship around them you don't need |
| 2203s | to use eights lots of shield Rajendra's |
| 2207s | and fit but without being too |
| 2209s | overpowered of course with those |
| 2211s | building slots it's really the same |
| 2212s | reason that we have second pinions at |
| 2214s | any modules right if you didn't have |
| 2215s | stacking penalties on damaged modules |
| 2217s | like like there was in some of the early |
| 2219s | days of EVE then if you got in a |
| 2221s | situation where you either have to kind |
| 2222s | of fit eight damaged modules with zero |
| 2224s | yeah there's nothing really all that |
| 2225s | useful in between but having stacking |
| 2228s | penalties and stronger individual |
| 2229s | modules gives you some more interesting |
| 2230s | fitting choices so got some more details |
| 2232s | of that that'll be coming soon once we |
| 2234s | get closer to public testing and we're |
| 2236s | also going back to module tier aside so |
| 2239s | this is a plan that we've been working |
| 2240s | on for quite a long time we've made a |
| 2241s | lot of progress over the past couple of |
| 2243s | years but then basically being pulled |
| 2244s | away from the priorities meant that the |
| 2246s | plan stalled for a little bit but we're |
| 2248s | bringing it back and this improves |
| 2250s | balance and also very crucially makes |
| 2252s | the game a lot easier to understand for |
| 2254s | new players this is still part one again |
| 2256s | it's another great example of something |
| 2257s | that both helps new players understand |
| 2259s | the game and just makes the game better |
| 2260s | for everyone yes if a new player has |
| 2262s | fewer options these options that have a |
| 2266s | hard time figuring out what what does |
| 2268s | what what is the benefit of using a meta |
| 2270s | three versus a metaphore module and the |
| 2272s | prices sometimes just don't map out to |
| 2275s | anything useful the new module tier |
| 2278s | sided modules there's gonna be fewer |
| 2280s | options but all the options are actually |
| 2281s | valuable yeah so it's changing it from a |
| 2283s | system where there was always a good |
| 2285s | there was no good like no fun choice |
| 2288s | yeah but was just like this was the best |
| 2289s | one and you should always use that |
| 2291s | different strengths and weaknesses of |
| 2293s | every meta module and yeah this is |
| 2296s | something we've been getting great |
| 2296s | feedback about from the modules that |
| 2298s | would key resided so far and the plan is |
| 2300s | to continue working on it and how we get |
| 2302s | them all done so these are the modules |
| 2304s | that we're looking at for the next |
| 2305s | rounds I just let you guys know and this |
| 2308s | is the the kind of the shortlist so |
| 2310s | we're talking armor repairs and shield |
| 2312s | boosters obviously incredibly crucial |
| 2313s | modules hardeners are the resistance |
| 2316s | modules |
| 2316s | cap boosters and cap transfers so this |
| 2318s | is the short list for the modules that |
| 2320s | you should expect to see t resided next |
| 2323s | and then another long time |
| 2327s | work-in-progress |
| 2329s | yeah our base pays out so again we've |
| 2332s | want to give you guys an update on this |
| 2333s | remind you that it is still in progress |
| 2336s | it's still coming the next steps are the |
| 2339s | next more reimbursement so increasing |
| 2342s | the reprocessing and outputs and |
| 2344s | reimbursing the blueprints for some of |
| 2346s | the phased out modules we're currently |
| 2347s | planning on getting the next round of |
| 2349s | this out in the next few months so we'll |
| 2351s | get more details as we get a bit closer |
| 2352s | and there's also one related to Starbase |
| 2355s | concept that we're going to be talking |
| 2357s | about in the next section as well yeah |
| 2359s | so that's something that that may come |
| 2361s | may not but we want to get your feedback |
| 2362s | on it and I'll use that as the segue to |
| 2364s | the next section yeah absolutely so |
| 2367s | we're now into the potential section of |
| 2371s | this talk so as we've obviously |
| 2372s | disclaimed before you know this is this |
| 2375s | is speculative these are things that |
| 2377s | we're working on internally as |
| 2378s | prototypes or early concepts that we |
| 2381s | think have come far enough now for us to |
| 2383s | have value in talking to you guys and |
| 2385s | getting your feedback so starting those |
| 2387s | conversations so one one thing connected |
| 2390s | to the Starbase phase-out as also has |
| 2392s | always been as you as I'm sure a lot of |
| 2394s | you know we're always trying to make |
| 2396s | sure that we're reaching parity with the |
| 2398s | new structures that was the thing we |
| 2399s | talked about a lot making sure that the |
| 2401s | new structures have the same kind of |
| 2402s | services as the old structures and I |
| 2405s | think we've done a really good job in |
| 2406s | getting to the point where with where |
| 2408s | that's the case in terms of distinct |
| 2410s | pieces of functionality but there are |
| 2412s | also sometimes use cases that you know |
| 2414s | we feel that obviously yourselves and we |
| 2417s | feel have been left behind by by the |
| 2419s | phase-out of star bases and one thing |
| 2421s | that we hear a lot is the idea the of |
| 2424s | the differences between tethering and a |
| 2428s | force field specifically in the case of |
| 2431s | being able to use a force field to keep |
| 2435s | yourself safe for a short amount of time |
| 2437s | or keep yourself out of trouble in a |
| 2440s | larger ship things like that that |
| 2443s | tethering doesn't really offer because |
| 2444s | in the tethering system people can bump |
| 2448s | you off the tether and bump you out of |
| 2449s | range so one prototype that we have in |
| 2452s | the works internally that we've been |
| 2454s | messing around with is this concept that |
| 2456s | we're currently calling structure |
| 2458s | mooring so this is actually and you |
| 2461s | mentioned before this is what |
| 2462s | was was there is yes early versions of |
| 2466s | the design that were called more in back |
| 2467s | in the day that's right yes so as I said |
| 2470s | there were there are some specific use |
| 2472s | cases where the force fields were safer |
| 2474s | than up well tether and obviously for |
| 2476s | smaller up well structures where you |
| 2478s | can't darts large ships that always |
| 2480s | meant there was a big kind of drop-off |
| 2482s | in safety between the huge structures |
| 2483s | and the small structures so this were |
| 2486s | the way we were looking at this now is |
| 2488s | mooring would be a new optional tether |
| 2491s | state you can kind of think of it in in |
| 2494s | terms of functionality working in a way |
| 2495s | similar to a safe logoff system in that |
| 2498s | you would get into tether range and you |
| 2499s | would activate your activate the mooring |
| 2503s | in some way that would take some amount |
| 2505s | of time and then the crucial part is |
| 2508s | that while you're more you're prevented |
| 2510s | from being bumped out of tether range so |
| 2513s | you can still be bumped around you're |
| 2514s | not like hard locked but anytime the |
| 2517s | velocity would be applied to your ship |
| 2519s | that would make you leave tether range |
| 2520s | we would just cancel that velocity out |
| 2522s | so this were this is a concept that like |
| 2525s | we say it's obviously very early on |
| 2526s | we're really interested to hear your |
| 2527s | feedback but we're kind of optimistic |
| 2530s | that this could provide an answer to |
| 2532s | some of those some of those problems |
| 2534s | that people have had especially with big |
| 2536s | ships and small structures yeah and we |
| 2538s | definitely want to hear your feedback |
| 2539s | about it what cut what you like about |
| 2541s | the idea what you don't like about the |
| 2542s | idea and as mentioned there is an |
| 2544s | internal prototype on it we might be to |
| 2545s | get that on to some kind of test server |
| 2547s | to every play around with but again no |
| 2550s | promises at this point of when it might |
| 2551s | release if ever absolutely and then we |
| 2554s | have one more thing one more thing that |
| 2556s | we're interested to talk to you guys |
| 2557s | about but I think this needs to start |
| 2559s | with a short story so so as you can |
| 2568s | imagine over the years we get a lot of |
| 2570s | longstanding requests that people want |
| 2573s | people often you know bring it up bring |
| 2577s | things up at every fan fest every time |
| 2578s | we meet them it's super great to always |
| 2581s | get that feedback and there's a lot of |
| 2582s | those features that we love internally |
| 2584s | that we would love to work on and we |
| 2585s | often say we'd love to work on now back |
| 2588s | in now master plan the master plans |
| 2591s | memory may not be perfect but he seems |
| 2594s | to remember that in 2012 |
| 2596s | the first year that we had Fun Fest in |
| 2598s | Harper in Reykjavik he was given this so |
| 2602s | this was a bottle of Rico vodka a local |
| 2604s | Icelandic vodka and the the idea was |
| 2609s | that we weren't allowed to open it until |
| 2610s | we done we don't completely a certain |
| 2612s | feature now six five or six years later |
| 2616s | we yell city in five it's still sitting |
| 2618s | on the shelf still there as a reminder |
| 2621s | and in more recent years we've had some |
| 2624s | other reminders some of those given to |
| 2627s | us at events some of them given to other |
| 2631s | events and I know after some of the |
| 2635s | events last year I think these were |
| 2637s | given out to a lot of people with the |
| 2638s | express order to eat to mail them to CCP |
| 2641s | yeah so go where we got them we got a |
| 2643s | lot of them so these are really great so |
| 2647s | we get it you guys really really want |
| 2649s | alliance bookmarks and it's something |
| 2651s | that I love a lot of us internally would |
| 2653s | love as well so one concept that I'm |
| 2655s | sure we've talked about with you guys |
| 2656s | before a that we work on work with |
| 2659s | internally in CCP is this idea of 20% |
| 2661s | time which is the idea that any |
| 2663s | developer can take 20% of their time to |
| 2666s | do things like like learn through |
| 2669s | learning courses to improve their work |
| 2671s | or specifically a work on things that |
| 2673s | are not their day job not things so |
| 2675s | passion projects things that they think |
| 2677s | would add value to the to the company or |
| 2679s | to the game and one of our devs |
| 2683s | CCP Habbakuk has been working really |
| 2686s | hard on this concept internally that I |
| 2690s | have to give credit to CCP Goliath for |
| 2692s | this glorious pun but he refers to a CV |
| 2696s | Habakkuk marks |
| 2698s | Habakkuk I wasn't aware that I was gonna |
| 2700s | say that today I hope he's enjoying this |
| 2703s | dream so yeah all credit to Goliath for |
| 2705s | that one but I'm probably a more |
| 2708s | appropriate name for this prototype |
| 2709s | would be shareable bookmarks so |
| 2712s | obviously what you guys want Alliance |
| 2714s | bookmarks and one of the big things that |
| 2716s | we've had a problem with that over the |
| 2717s | year is problems with their the tying |
| 2721s | those things into something like the |
| 2722s | allowance system that isn't super for |
| 2724s | below formalizing the code base if |
| 2726s | corporations you have rolls it's very |
| 2727s | easy to determine |
| 2728s | who's allowed to edit who's allowed to |
| 2730s | delete bookmarks alliances it's not |
| 2732s | quite the same the structure was are |
| 2733s | very different so that was always one of |
| 2737s | the biggest challenges so what we did is |
| 2738s | we we went away from that idea entirely |
| 2740s | and we've done one better |
| 2742s | so this prototype is like say all work |
| 2746s | in progress to to be confirmed very much |
| 2749s | rough at this time cannot promise this |
| 2751s | will have a release there's still a lot |
| 2752s | of things yes it's still very early on |
| 2754s | but essentially this would be a |
| 2756s | replacement and an extension of the |
| 2757s | personal Corp Alliance coalition |
| 2759s | bookmarks system it would be not just |
| 2762s | Alliance it would be much further than |
| 2763s | that |
| 2763s | so essentially the way this works would |
| 2766s | be that you would have bookmark folders |
| 2768s | formally what you would think of as |
| 2770s | groups so like the court bookmarks and |
| 2771s | the personal bookmarks that could be |
| 2773s | shared with anyone using access lists |
| 2776s | these can contain so these these folders |
| 2787s | contain subfolders just like the folder |
| 2789s | system that you have now for bookmarks |
| 2791s | and that means that using a new type of |
| 2794s | access that would be specifically for |
| 2796s | bookmarks you can or a new type of sort |
| 2800s | of profile that these specifically for |
| 2802s | bookmarks you can share these with your |
| 2804s | fleet with your co-op with your alliance |
| 2805s | with your coalition you can be as real |
| 2808s | friends if you want yeah every look into |
| 2809s | this or everyone in the world yeah so |
| 2814s | the the basics of how this would work is |
| 2816s | that you could add an access list to |
| 2817s | give people access to the bookmark |
| 2820s | folder and then they can actively |
| 2823s | subscribe to the folder should they |
| 2825s | choose the Lava sleepy limits on the |
| 2827s | amount of folders you can have yourself |
| 2829s | how many folders you can subscribe to |
| 2830s | those kind of things |
| 2831s | they'll need both the access to be able |
| 2833s | to view it with the ACL and also the |
| 2835s | link to yes so what you can do is if you |
| 2837s | wanted to give people access to and not |
| 2841s | very upset bookmarks on kind of an |
| 2843s | ad-hoc basis you could make a folder |
| 2845s | public but then just give the link to |
| 2846s | some people it's kind of like if you |
| 2847s | have a Google Doc that's public to |
| 2849s | anyone who has the link so that's we |
| 2851s | expect to be a potentially pretty common |
| 2852s | use case so we think that would be great |
| 2854s | for you know these more like |
| 2856s | heart groups are things like nipsey |
| 2857s | groups and things like that that kind of |
| 2860s | form on the fly things that are less |
| 2861s | fallen lies in a cop structure but this |
| 2863s | also would obviously work for Alliance |
| 2865s | Exorcist for coalition access this |
| 2867s | really whoever you want the way that the |
| 2870s | access list levels would work according |
| 2872s | to how we're currently looking at this |
| 2873s | like I say or subject to change would be |
| 2875s | that there will be four levels there |
| 2877s | will be the view level which allow you |
| 2879s | to view the bookmark folder and walk to |
| 2881s | the bookmarks there will be the use |
| 2883s | level which would allow you to add |
| 2885s | bookmarks to the folder and edit and |
| 2887s | delete your own bookmarks there will be |
| 2889s | a manage level which allow you to edit |
| 2890s | and remove bookmarks unfold add and |
| 2892s | remove folders and then there will be |
| 2894s | the admin level the top level that would |
| 2895s | allow you to change the ACL it would |
| 2897s | allow you to rename the folder or delete |
| 2899s | the folder entirely and then of course |
| 2902s | since we're you know we're looking at |
| 2905s | building in a whole new system here |
| 2907s | we're obviously looking at all the other |
| 2908s | things that are often requested about |
| 2909s | bookmarks over the years so also looking |
| 2911s | into the idea of something like bookmark |
| 2913s | expiry which is often requested from |
| 2915s | especially from people like worm holders |
| 2917s | having the having the ability to have a |
| 2921s | bookmark expire after a day or a couple |
| 2923s | of days things like that so hypothet it |
| 2925s | would just be an optional thing when you |
| 2926s | create a bookmark you decide you want to |
| 2928s | be a permanent one or do you want to be |
| 2929s | a whatever a two day long one or |
| 2931s | whatever period you choose exactly right |
| 2933s | so I think this is this has great |
| 2936s | potential to be one of those features |
| 2938s | that can kind of be molded by your you |
| 2940s | guys in whatever way you feel see fit to |
| 2943s | use it that's why the Exorcist I think |
| 2945s | are so powerful I like fuzzy alluded to |
| 2948s | this has still a lot of you know testing |
| 2951s | in its future this if this hasn't gone |
| 2953s | through any sort of kind of performance |
| 2957s | testing or optimization yet so and the |
| 2960s | prototype is still very early but this |
| 2963s | as you can imagine this is a big big |
| 2965s | feature and would have a lot of interest |
| 2968s | for you guys so be really interesting to |
| 2969s | hear you guys feedback if you see any |
| 2970s | issues with this and we'd love to be |
| 2973s | able to at some point put this on a test |
| 2976s | over for sometime and let you guys |
| 2977s | really hammer it and break it as much as |
| 2980s | possible if we get a chance to put this |
| 2981s | on a test server we'll definitely need |
| 2983s | all of your help to stress test it get a |
| 2985s | good performance testing baseline for it |
| 2987s | that's gonna be one of the things that |
| 2988s | we have to figure out before this would |
| 2990s | we release so we'll keep you guys up to |
| 2992s | date but if this goes on to say duality |
| 2994s | at some point in a early rough prototype |
| 2996s | form we'll definitely need all of your |
| 2998s | help yes so that's that's this prototype |
| 3001s | for you and that's all that we have for |
| 3003s | you today so it rather than kind of |
| 3007s | taking questions now what we'll do is |
| 3009s | we'll just point you guys to our |
| 3010s | glorious SCTP AMA tomorrow will we'll |
