36s | gonna basically talk to you about the |
37s | future of mpsi and how you guys can help |
40s | uh mpsi communities basically um in |
42s | their activities um it's probably gonna |
45s | be about 40 minutes uh there are there |
46s | abouts um obviously you can hear i'm |
48s | struggling with my voice slightly um |
50s | and obviously by all means you can |
52s | heckle me or you like um i might get a |
54s | few obscure references in about glyco |
57s | and a few other bits and bobs |
59s | and clearly some recruitment plugs as |
60s | well so |
61s | you can have a chance to do a q a at the |
63s | end also so if you've got any questions |
65s | just hang on to them put them in the |
67s | mind |
68s | so okay |
69s | so kick off |
71s | first part of the presentation i'm going |
73s | to introduce myself um so |
76s | my name's kayak t um |
78s | pronounced key yak t uh i've been called |
80s | various other things in the past um but |
82s | just don't call me late for dinner um |
84s | basically i started playing eve in 2004 |
88s | um i got into eve actually via my |
90s | girlfriend um she's she's actually my |
92s | wife now um so |
94s | it kind of impacted her too much um |
98s | so i kind of did the usual things um you |
100s | know mining ratting missioning and sort |
102s | of around i think it was about 2005 |
106s | i got talking to a chap at work |
109s | and he basically suggested that i do a |
111s | pvp uni |
113s | pvp university basic class |
115s | uh it's actually run by agony unleashed |
117s | um massive shout out to unleashed um |
120s | sounded brilliant and basically since |
122s | then i've been pretty much hooked on pvp |
125s | and so i ended up joining agony um |
127s | eventually uh they closed their doors |
129s | back in 2018 um and i then basically i |
132s | was kind of reluctant to kind of stop |
134s | eve um enjoyed it um made some awesome |
137s | friends in the process |
139s | um so i basically i decided to set up my |
141s | own corp which is obviously fun inc um |
144s | even better with friends |
146s | um |
146s | so in game i'm obviously the ceo of fun |
149s | inc and i'm one of the principal sort of |
151s | fcs i just generally tinker with stuff |
153s | as well |
155s | now we're a player player corporation in |
157s | our own right uh but we also like i said |
160s | we're the home of the community calendar |
161s | uh in my spare time in game i'm also the |
164s | alliance lead of uh the ancients which |
167s | is basically an nps site pure mpsi |
169s | alliance basically |
170s | so |
172s | um in my real life i'm a tea drinking |
174s | guinness drinking local government |
175s | worker base just outside of london um i |
178s | love internet spaceships spreadsheets |
179s | kpis feedback forms you guys know this |
182s | and trying to give a little bit back to |
184s | the community that i actually i adore |
186s | basically um outside of um |
190s | outside of spaceships i love metallica a |
192s | lot of people know that um |
194s | i've seen like 45 times now or something |
198s | like that so it's a bit mental really |
200s | a bit crazy um |
201s | play the guitar more recently sort of do |
203s | woodworking and stuff like that so |
205s | some of you that are on like twitch or |
207s | whatnot or watch streams um i also um |
210s | twitch |
211s | sort of stream on twitch um |
213s | so yeah so just before i sort of move on |
216s | massive shout out to my missus for |
217s | actually like putting up with my |
218s | incessant eve ramblings um she actually |
221s | doesn't play anymore but um she kind of |
223s | gets the game |
224s | so it kind of makes life quite cool |
227s | um so you know a little bit about me now |
230s | um |
230s | [Music] |
231s | i can see a couple of skeptics who is |
234s | this guy uh so i just want to know about |
236s | pvp um so before we kind of kick off um |
240s | basically just some terms and conditions |
242s | um sort of |
244s | before i move on |
246s | so |
247s | i suck at eve basically um although i've |
250s | played for a long time um and although i |
252s | like fc um i'm actually incredibly |
255s | average eve um |
257s | now what i mean by that is i'm i'm an |
260s | average solo pvp i'm an average small |
262s | gang pvp and i'm an ok hfc |
264s | now i'm just average across the board |
266s | basically it's not bad thing um |
269s | but one thing i do kind of pride myself |
271s | on um is sort of fc wise um |
275s | i'm not the worst fc um |
277s | but |
279s | really |
280s | first echo good job |
282s | what |
284s | what i lack of inability or skill i try |
287s | to make up in fun per hour |
289s | and passion in what i do um i've got |
291s | sort of 17 18 years nearly um of pvp |
294s | experience and i still learn something |
296s | every day basically and eve is |
298s | incredibly good at that and you you know |
300s | this |
301s | now okay so you've got some context |
303s | about me now i'm just gonna move on to |
304s | the juicy bits basically what is mpsi so |
306s | shout out what you think mpsi is |
310s | or not |
313s | there you go thank you |
314s | um so yeah that's basically it um not |
317s | purple shoot it um basically um it's |
320s | fleeting up with the mentality of if |
323s | you're um basically if you're not with |
324s | me you're against me so what what that |
327s | broadly speaking that means um |
329s | anybody that's in your fleet who by |
331s | default will be purple |
333s | um |
334s | on your overview uh is your friend um so |
336s | anything else is a valid target and we |
339s | go out and kill them basically in its |
342s | rawest sense um |
344s | arguably and this is obviously my |
345s | perspective um alongside sort of faction |
348s | warfare and recent proving grounds |
350s | events um in 2022 i believe npsi is |
355s | probably one of the most accessible |
356s | forms of pvp to anybody in eve um from |
360s | from a new bro right way through to a |
362s | bit of vet somebody that you know could |
363s | be in game for a month |
365s | or something that could be in game for a |
366s | year you know like 10 years 12 years 15 |
368s | years what have you |
369s | um |
370s | so it allows you access to pvp on tap |
374s | you log in you join a channel you x up |
377s | you join a fleet and you should |
378s | basically shoot shits |
379s | shoot ships |
381s | and you log off i mean basically you get |
384s | to meet new people you get to meet make |
386s | new connections and friends you get to |
388s | recruit people learn new tactics learn |
390s | new wacky things and basically having |
392s | fun in the process and probably dying |
394s | once you're doing it |
395s | um you get to try out new ships new |
397s | doctrines basically you develop your you |
400s | utilize and develop your growing skill |
402s | set to the best of your ability |
404s | and |
405s | all whilst making pretty explosions so |
408s | to me |
410s | i'm hooked basically |
412s | now broadly speaking um |
414s | [Music] |
415s | i've kind of spoke about what mpsi is |
417s | but where did this magnificent beast |
419s | come from and i'm talking about mpsi not |
422s | me um |
423s | so |
425s | so depend on sort of who you speak to um |
428s | you'll get a variety of um stories um |
432s | people like staking their claim to it |
434s | and about the origins of npsi now you'll |
436s | hear you know rvb bombers boss better |
439s | fleet variant hey |
441s | and |
442s | everybody will stake their claim to it |
444s | you know people do state their claim to |
445s | it basically now |
446s | i actually firmly firmly believe um the |
450s | concept of npsi was founded way before |
452s | these groups |
453s | existed and before the the moniker mpsi |
456s | was actually even created so |
460s | shout out if you recognize that logo |
463s | yep okay good there's a few old gifts |
465s | here like me uh |
467s | so this this corpolone um i believe it's |
470s | where mpsi started um |
472s | now agony unleashed as i mentioned um |
474s | they they were founded in 2006 and by a |
477s | small group of players that basically |
479s | they wanted to teach people |
481s | and |
482s | they did they did so through their pvp |
485s | basic course and the university and so |
488s | a couple of people recognize agony who |
490s | here actually took an angry basic class |
492s | that's one two three i know these guys |
494s | did they |
495s | did it um so it's half a dozen so you |
498s | know a decent decent percentage |
500s | now we actually had um nearly 10 000 |
503s | graduates |
504s | of the pvp basic class um it was sort of |
507s | off these classes that the basic concept |
509s | of mpsi was actually born |
512s | um but agony fleeted up with random |
514s | people |
515s | gave them the basic skills um to start |
517s | pvp |
519s | and they just went and killed things uh |
521s | basically fortnightly basic classes |
524s | and their owns now so in effect what |
527s | agony actually did for eve was set up an |
530s | ideal |
531s | um a concept sort of like a way of life |
533s | for some people now um but basically |
536s | um |
538s | we didn't have discord back you know in |
540s | all those years ago and we didn't have |
542s | slack or whatever and |
544s | so |
545s | we basically xed up in a channel you |
547s | jumped into a naked pod you |
549s | you just did no strings attached pvp you |
552s | didn't need to join a corporation you |
553s | didn't need to be an alliance you didn't |
555s | you could just be a solo pilot |
557s | basically you just needed to be in a |
558s | channel |
560s | in the right place and at the right time |
562s | um |
563s | so basically that was an mps i was born |
565s | there now |
568s | from there what happened was basically |
570s | um |
571s | it snowballed |
572s | i'm terrible with dates but the general |
574s | consensus is as follows um rvb um and |
578s | through rvb |
579s | ganks obviously |
580s | ran from 2011 i think it was there are |
583s | there abouts |
584s | uh it it remains the biggest |
586s | uh and largest repeating uh public roman |
589s | eve um obviously it's with respect for |
591s | it now |
592s | um |
593s | after after that um |
596s | after departing again unleashed um grey |
598s | gal um |
599s | set up redemption road and basically |
601s | took out uh her new roams um obviously |
603s | it's been mentioned about the new bro |
604s | rome's been a huge um method for new |
607s | players to |
608s | um you know getting orientated and eve |
611s | um an absolute must for newborn pilots |
613s | they still they still run them now um so |
615s | from there bombers bar uh decloaked and |
618s | created a bit of havoc |
619s | and then more recently obviously |
621s | spectacularly that's a |
622s | symbol that people will recognize |
623s | straight away probably especially that |
625s | man |
626s | um |
627s | obviously they're now flying the ganged |
630s | flag |
631s | nearly in its eleventh year i think next |
633s | week there are there abouts basically um |
635s | ganked five fifty is next week uh |
638s | stormbringers uh basic bearings um |
640s | giving them free ships basically |
643s | they're not free i know are they |
645s | close enough um and more recently um |
649s | fun inc um basically |
651s | uh i set up the court mirroring a lot of |
653s | these ideals um to |
655s | basically |
656s | accessible visible and fun |
659s | pvp now from my perspective um the |
662s | growth in npsi has been huge uh recently |
666s | um many many groups have come and gone |
667s | over the years basically um outside |
670s | respectively you've got these awesome |
671s | groups um just shout out if you |
673s | recognize any of these groups um i know |
676s | all of them there you go |
677s | [Laughter] |
678s | so friday yarcas combat guild |
680s | perpetrators free-range chickens flaming |
683s | dragons on a bit of a hiatus at the |
684s | moment eve linknet fart uh fart |
688s | one of the streamers uh revaker and |
691s | stay feral and overclockers so you've |
694s | got a huge amount of content basically i |
696s | love that logo |
698s | and now all these groups |
700s | one thing they have in common is |
702s | basically uh pvp on demand uh it's |
704s | across multiple time zones with the |
706s | basic concept of fleeting up with mates |
708s | and killing stuff um |
711s | just get on board um basically it's an |
713s | amazing thing um when you actually sort |
716s | of strip down the the absolute basics of |
718s | um |
719s | what we're doing |
720s | um |
721s | fleet movement is sort of controlled by |
723s | an fc that you don't know |
725s | or they might be unknown to you um |
727s | you've got scouts that you might not |
728s | know you don't necessarily recognize |
729s | their voices there might be new scouts |
731s | so on and so forth um you don't know |
733s | your lodging pilots but |
734s | collectively um |
736s | the magnificent beast um |
739s | manages to function and kill things and |
741s | we actually kill a hell of a lot of |
742s | stuff um one thing sort of straight |
746s | straight away i'd like to say is that |
748s | mpsi allows for inclusion um of |
752s | everybody um from the very earliest |
754s | stages of a character's life i know |
757s | kashal |
759s | new bro |
760s | one day old i think yeah we've had new |
762s | bros in our rooms literally um |
766s | same day and |
768s | we welcome these people with open arms |
770s | um and it's the same for all the all the |
772s | different groups on average people are |
774s | sort of you know can be one or three |
775s | months one to three months old but this |
778s | is this is what what is key about mpsi |
780s | is there is no barrier to entrance |
783s | we don't take esis |
785s | we don't do interviews there's no blood |
787s | test urine samples there's no bs and |
789s | that's what is critical |
791s | it's just inclusion of people |
794s | embracing their potential |
796s | and showing off a game that we all love |
798s | we all love eve at the end of the day |
799s | you wouldn't have flown halfway across |
801s | the world if you didn't love eve now |
804s | mpsi has basically afforded people |
807s | pvp content on demand it's inclusive |
810s | it's accessible it's visible and it's no |
813s | strings attached pvp basically you get |
815s | some dang frags there |
817s | and |
818s | in in sort of recent years we've seen |
820s | huge growth in mpsi um some of the large |
823s | groups |
825s | we have content 24 7 basically |
830s | so why |
832s | so we touched on mpsi um |
835s | its origins chat briefly about uh about |
838s | those and some of the history of npsi |
840s | i'm gonna give you some context as to |
842s | why people do this and so let's go and |
844s | have a look |
846s | i think |
848s | if you just have a quick look at that |
850s | you probably have all seen it in all |
851s | fairness um now there's not gonna be a |
853s | person that hasn't seen this image in in |
855s | truth um it's from controller delete |
858s | it's a magazine uh webcomic um it sums |
860s | up why people um do npsi and why they'd |
863s | rather not join a corporation or |
865s | alliance |
866s | um |
868s | i believe that is the mps i dudes there |
871s | basically um they don't want fuss they |
873s | don't want and they just want content |
875s | and they don't want barriers to |
876s | accessibility |
877s | they just want to shoot things with |
879s | lasers that's basically it |
881s | um |
882s | so i kind of thought i thought thought |
884s | to myself what better way of answering |
887s | the why npsi |
888s | than ask the community themselves um |
891s | what motivates them to log in |
893s | why and why would they join an mpsi |
895s | fleet |
896s | so this is what they said |
912s | ifc and psi fleets because it's pure pvp |
915s | with no strings attached there's no |
917s | timers diplo or politics i can come up |
919s | with whatever doctrines i like go |
921s | wherever i want it's just my fleet and |
923s | whoever we can find to shoot |
925s | mpsi is a pure spirit of eve like-minded |
928s | people from different backgrounds |
929s | setting aside their different tickers to |
931s | band together with a singular goal of |
933s | blowing up spaceships |
935s | after years of living in narsek i |
938s | realized that i'm too time for to |
940s | maintain that level of commitment but i |
942s | still wanted to be able to have fights |
944s | with no pressure or hassle and also i |
947s | like being able to fly stuff that |
948s | doesn't necessarily bankrupt my |
950s | character |
952s | hi i'm varian for me mpsi is all about |
955s | the explosions just having a good time |
956s | blowing up ships with your buddies and |
958s | fleet |
960s | hey my name is rainrow i chose mpsi |
962s | because there's content almost every |
964s | hour of every day a variety of doctrines |
966s | and no worries about blues solo |
968s | tournaments |
969s | doing quality pvp and nothing trying you |
971s | know new ships and fleets in complete |
973s | freedom without all that goes with being |
976s | in an active car |
978s | hey i'm scopey from fan inc for me npsi |
981s | is all about the people the community no |
984s | boring duties or commitments i can just |
987s | do what i like most whenever i want |
991s | i fly mpsi because it means i can go |
993s | anywhere and shoot anything with no |
996s | restrictions for a call for an alliance |
999s | why i fly mpsi |
1000s | i would say variety and freedom |
1003s | you could choose the type of fleece you |
1004s | want to join nalsac fights stealth |
1005s | bomber fleet css robbing low strike |
1007s | roaming pve fleets wormhole dive and use |
1010s | an m view you also not limited to any |
1013s | certain type of content to a doctrine |
1014s | ship |
1015s | there's no obligations no alarm clock |
1017s | gta fleets no need to get bad links no |
1019s | mandatory structure passing etc you just |
1022s | go and join the fleet whenever you feel |
1023s | like it |
1042s | okay so i hope you enjoyed that um now |
1045s | so you've |
1046s | so i heard some of the testimonials um |
1048s | here's a few more from um regulars and |
1050s | court members um |
1053s | there's actually i had quite |
1055s | quite a few number of the replies um |
1057s | basically proper lull answers uh i did |
1061s | just say that out loud um |
1063s | some also i'm brutally honest about |
1065s | their own personal circumstances |
1067s | and how gaming is is actually a source |
1070s | of sanctuary for them um and their kind |
1072s | of real life |
1073s | kind of problems um |
1076s | so you get a kind of flavor |
1078s | overall a lot of feedback was centered |
1080s | around um sort of enabling the freedom |
1082s | uh to do what you want and basically to |
1084s | do it when you want it and without the |
1087s | pressure and the commitment um |
1089s | that being in a you know block alliance |
1092s | or whatever |
1094s | one of these big mega corps or whatever |
1097s | now my personal favorite and i need to |
1100s | stand back for this one because i want |
1101s | to see it |
1106s | now |
1107s | bless him devils |
1109s | uh |
1110s | he makes the |
1111s | he makes the perfect assessment |
1113s | um why would you not do npsi um people |
1117s | bemoan about i mean how many times have |
1119s | we heard about eve dying |
1121s | or it's dead or you know whatever um |
1124s | mpsi enables you to have content |
1128s | so |
1129s | why would you not want to do it content |
1131s | is there it's available |
1133s | it's accessible and you can get good |
1134s | fights |
1135s | so give me one i'm not going to say give |
1138s | me one good reason because then somebody |
1140s | will actually give me a reason so |
1142s | why why would you not choose npsi so |
1144s | that's a rhetorical question no need to |
1146s | answer now |
1147s | but dibbles i absolutely |
1149s | adore that guy sums up perfectly in my |
1151s | eyes now |
1153s | mpsi is a super way to basically hone |
1157s | your your skill set um |
1160s | you can be a microgang of three or |
1163s | uh three or six um could i ask that the |
1166s | notes get narrowed down slightly if poss |
1169s | because i can't see someone else |
1171s | um but basically you can be in a small |
1173s | gang of three a larger gang of sort of |
1175s | six fifty whatever you learn mpsi and |
1179s | it's a great way of learning |
1181s | um you can be lodging one one fleet you |
1183s | can be boosting in the next you could be |
1185s | bubbling on the next one after that |
1187s | the possibilities are endless and |
1190s | support pilots are basically always |
1192s | always needed thank you |
1195s | and we get exactly and you get to die a |
1196s | lot as well um now in the process of |
1198s | learning you're going to make new |
1199s | friendships in the community |
1202s | there's my notes you can literally read |
1204s | it there |
1205s | there you go |
1210s | perf yeah if you could do that |
1212s | thank you |
1214s | uh yeah if i could have the notes thanks |
1217s | so basically in the process of learning |
1219s | you're going to make new friends |
1221s | and you're going to develop an awesome |
1223s | network of pilots that you basically you |
1225s | can rely on that you can roam with |
1228s | the net product is that you |
1234s | you have a solid group of people um |
1236s | now |
1238s | a while back um i actually read an |
1239s | interview and actually got mentioned |
1241s | yesterday um |
1242s | kind of almost like it's fate or |
1243s | something um read an interview with ccp |
1246s | ghost and he spoke in depth about the |
1248s | eve effect |
1250s | and basically eve's ability to basically |
1253s | create genuine friendships |
1256s | now i'm not saying that mpsi is going to |
1258s | resolve like pilot retention issues or |
1260s | anything |
1261s | however |
1263s | if you |
1264s | give people a community that they love |
1268s | and that they believe in and that's key |
1270s | where they've made true bonds they're |
1273s | not going to turn their back on it |
1274s | now how many have you |
1277s | sort of here um |
1280s | say that you log in because of the |
1281s | people |
1282s | um |
1284s | how many of you do that and |
1286s | that's what mpsi is to me |
1288s | um basically |
1291s | if there was a formula for npsi that's |
1294s | pretty much what it would be now we've |
1296s | we've all seen some similar formulas |
1297s | like bizarrely enough it's like i've |
1299s | almost like read their slides in advance |
1301s | which i haven't um |
1303s | i'm sure the mpsi formula would look |
1305s | something like that so just have a look |
1308s | basically people |
1310s | and practice |
1311s | multiplied by variety |
1313s | you're going to get good |
1315s | what this basically means if you fly |
1316s | with people enough and you have |
1319s | sufficient variety of content and |
1321s | exposure to different roles |
1324s | you know within within a fleet |
1326s | your skill set and your confidence |
1329s | and overall ability will improve over |
1331s | time |
1332s | basically as you get good |
1335s | the experience makes you feel good and |
1337s | it makes you log in it makes you want to |
1339s | log in rather and you will come back for |
1341s | more |
1342s | so |
1345s | so why is this exactly |
1349s | and i know there was a chat i saw a |
1350s | presentation i can't see him i know he's |
1351s | there if i can't see him now there you |
1353s | are there you are |
1355s | you see the parity now |
1356s | so why why why is this now it's pretty |
1359s | well known |
1360s | um |
1362s | video games release chemicals uh |
1365s | playing video games i should say |
1366s | releases chemicals in your brains |
1368s | and it makes you feel great |
1370s | now |
1370s | that's what makes you come back for more |
1372s | so |
1373s | and i i actually kept on pronouncing |
1375s | dopamine wrong so i've actually written |
1377s | and i wish you could see it i've written |
1379s | doh per mean |
1381s | like that just so i can actually say it |
1382s | correctly so dopamine is basically it's |
1384s | produced by the brain |
1386s | and helps make you feel good so when you |
1388s | do things that make you feel good you |
1390s | know it could be complete or succeed at |
1392s | task the brain releases dopamine now |
1395s | it's the brain's reward for |
1397s | doing something good |
1398s | and i'm pretty sure that's why ccp |
1401s | dopamine is always smiling |
1403s | now couple dopamine with serotonin |
1406s | uh another chemical that you get when |
1408s | you like achieve something or |
1410s | satisfaction accomplishment that sort of |
1411s | thing |
1412s | or recognition |
1414s | you have a fantastic mix of like happy |
1417s | hormones that make you feel great yeah |
1420s | so basically as you get good something |
1422s | um you succeed |
1424s | and in the process you get recognition |
1425s | and your brain releases all of these |
1427s | chemicals |
1430s | i mean i can't really say much more than |
1431s | that |
1432s | now slight slight slight derailment and |
1434s | i'm just i'm going to really whip |
1436s | through this quickly if you take a look |
1437s | at kohl's 1984 model on experience on an |
1440s | experience based learning |
1442s | it's four stages um |
1445s | you can only advance to the next stage |
1447s | once you've completed all |
1448s | the stages basically in effect you have |
1450s | the experience |
1452s | you reflect on the experience and you |
1454s | learn from the experience |
1455s | and practicing and by practicing what |
1457s | you've learned |
1458s | you |
1460s | you you basically improve um you you |
1463s | learn now eve is identical to that |
1466s | effectively um |
1468s | in its simplest sort of term you would |
1469s | hop in a ship you'd have a fight you'd |
1471s | reflect on the fight |
1472s | and you learn you gain confidence you |
1474s | gain ability |
1475s | you then go back and you have another |
1476s | fight you reflect you learn you gain |
1478s | confidence you gain ability and it just |
1481s | goes round around eve is like a learning |
1483s | circle basically |
1485s | now so meet dave |
1489s | say hello to dave |
1491s | thank you hello dave |
1495s | somebody might get that obscure |
1496s | reference |
1497s | you're my wife |
1499s | now dave's your average npsi punter |
1502s | uh he's he's a bit of a cool dude he's |
1504s | got a bit of swagger as you can see he's |
1505s | quite pixelated though unfortunately um |
1508s | now |
1509s | he's gone to a few sort of mps athletes |
1511s | um |
1512s | and |
1514s | he's enjoyed them and he lacks |
1516s | confidence |
1517s | now as you gain confidence and ability |
1520s | um |
1521s | you're taken out of your comfort zone |
1524s | and |
1525s | that the comfort zone is basically what |
1526s | you settle for in this precise moment |
1528s | the here and now where you are now |
1529s | basically |
1530s | um |
1531s | and beyond um |
1533s | it's basically what you're settling for |
1535s | at this precise moment and beyond that |
1537s | comfort zone is the fear zone |
1540s | and people that don't step outside their |
1541s | comfort zone stay there |
1543s | they stay there |
1545s | because they're scared of their you know |
1548s | they've got fear of failure um |
1550s | that they don't have what it takes that |
1552s | um they haven't got the right skills |
1554s | you know or experience um they're scared |
1556s | basically |
1558s | um so people's fears are |
1561s | they're created from criticism by others |
1563s | um they could be self-conscious like |
1566s | self-confidence anxiety you know what |
1568s | have you now |
1570s | sometimes you need to stop being scared |
1572s | and just go just go out and do it and if |
1575s | it doesn't work out that's life you |
1577s | might die in game obviously um |
1583s | sorry now um |
1586s | now |
1587s | any this could be like skirmishing it |
1589s | could be f saying it could be logic |
1591s | dicta boucher whatever now it doesn't |
1593s | matter what the function is um it's |
1596s | irrelevant the point is that you're |
1598s | doing something that helps you learn it |
1601s | helps you grow and you develop |
1604s | um that's what this is about in my eyes |
1607s | now beyond the fear zone |
1610s | this is where the zimagic happens |
1614s | and |
1615s | basically once you get out of the fears |
1616s | and you're in the learning and growth |
1617s | zone |
1619s | this is what i actually technically call |
1620s | the what the fun zone is um the brain |
1623s | loves |
1624s | basically learning um it gets addicted |
1625s | to progress |
1627s | you've in effect you've activated the |
1629s | creative part of your brain |
1630s | you're learning you're growing and |
1632s | you're developing |
1634s | i think it's amazing that zone um |
1637s | because |
1638s | that's what makes people log in |
1642s | so |
1643s | we've spoken about a number of key |
1644s | concepts in mpsi um what it is |
1648s | is origins and what motivates people to |
1650s | log in |
1652s | and bit of random psychological babble |
1655s | in the middle um which i'm probably |
1657s | definitely not qualified to talk about |
1658s | really in all fairness um that that chap |
1661s | is |
1662s | now what probably 99 of you are actually |
1665s | here for um is to find out |
1668s | how is the state of mpsi so how active |
1670s | it is um when a fleet and uh what type |
1674s | of fights i had and are they good |
1676s | so |
1676s | let's have a look |
1678s | um |
1679s | it's a recurring thing like i said um |
1681s | people are always saying that he's dead |
1683s | um |
1683s | i fundamentally disagree uh npsi |
1686s | community says contrary to this 100 |
1689s | um |
1690s | it's very very much alive |
1694s | we've seen a huge resurgence |
1697s | in the number of people sort of coming |
1699s | along to the fleet |
1700s | during covert obviously and actually |
1703s | post covered |
1705s | we're basically we're in an instant |
1707s | gratification world |
1709s | people want to be able to flick a switch |
1711s | fire up the client |
1713s | um browse for a fleet uh x up in a |
1716s | channel and shoot spaceships |
1718s | um |
1719s | pvp in different time zones and |
1723s | and have a variety of access to content |
1727s | basically |
1728s | it's easily accessible now um through |
1730s | the variety of npsi groups um |
1734s | you're never going to have to wait too |
1735s | long for content um |
1738s | and regardless as to who you flight with |
1740s | um |
1741s | mpsi is about logging in for what makes |
1743s | it motivates you as the player |
1746s | um |
1747s | you're a customer you're buying into a |
1750s | service |
1751s | now the commodity it's not risk it's |
1754s | time |
1756s | time is more valuable than esk |
1759s | um |
1760s | the only limitation |
1762s | um |
1763s | is being there at the right time uh and |
1765s | exiting up in a channel |
1767s | at the right time now what tell me what |
1769s | could be simpler |
1773s | so just as an example obscure raptor |
1775s | references coming up now guys |
1778s | this is my |
1779s | signature fleet uh it's called shrink |
1780s | wrapped it's combat raptors uh |
1783s | loads of email decent damage application |
1785s | um |
1786s | it's my go-to fleet basically |
1788s | it's fast hit and run death by a |
1789s | thousand papercuts coupled with e-war |
1791s | supremacy and grid tactics superior grid |
1794s | tactics apparently uh |
1796s | that's added that bit |
1799s | so 30 raptors each doing 250 dps 7k a |
1802s | second equates to seven and a half |
1803s | thousand dps and a whole lot of fun |
1806s | trust me uh |
1807s | second |
1809s | that's one marauder yeah don't even get |
1811s | me on vargas mate |
1813s | op um generally we have sort of between |
1816s | 20 and 15 fleet depend on you know |
1818s | obviously numbers um and we pretty much |
1821s | we kill in excess of five billion |
1822s | isconite |
1824s | uh we've actually been known to kill 30 |
1826s | billion isk in one individual realm |
1829s | uh and as of last week um |
1831s | we've actually killed uh destroyed one |
1833s | trillion isk very very nearly one |
1835s | trillionisk in this um |
1837s | doctrine for about 140 romes 150 rhymes |
1841s | now |
1843s | the doc and i'm going to read this exact |
1844s | the doctrine has the ability to destroy |
1846s | hostile ships with a blink of an eye |
1848s | just ask horde just asked frat and goons |
1854s | now |
1856s | there are three recent realms that stick |
1857s | out for me uh super saturday one and two |
1859s | uh you had to be there to believe this |
1860s | um 50 billion eric in two realms we |
1863s | destroyed more recently mj hoard |
1865s | relocation where we destroyed 18 billion |
1867s | esk in one rome |
1869s | that is just under 70 billion esque in |
1872s | three realms |
1874s | now |
1876s | it's in raptors |
1878s | now |
1879s | boom |
1881s | so here are some of the kills |
1883s | hopefully you can see some of those |
1885s | now |
1887s | there you go |
1889s | so excluding sub caps that's two |
1891s | thanatos one phoenix one mid hogger one |
1894s | orca and that's in two rhymes just these |
1895s | 12 kills equates to 30 billionisk |
1899s | in raptors i'm going to do that a lot |
1902s | now |
1903s | more recently |
1905s | after horde's rededication to mj we had |
1907s | a very very very nice wormhole um horde |
1911s | basically fed us for nearly five hours |
1914s | um we actually destroyed |
1918s | 17.63 billionisk uh we actually lost |
1921s | about 2 billion 1.9 |
1923s | um we had 15 fight systems |
1927s | uh and |
1929s | 203 |
1931s | kilometers in an evening |
1933s | it's the same doctrine 46 raptors uh |
1935s | that was the size of the fleet um i |
1937s | think that was probably including the |
1938s | supply um light support pilot so it's |
1940s | probably about 35 something like that |
1942s | um i was actually i'll be honest with |
1943s | you i was bloody exhausted after that |
1945s | rome um |
1946s | i couldn't get to sleep for about two |
1948s | hours uh i think |
1951s | uh oh no it does it does it should be |
1954s | i think that time there and that time |
1955s | there |
1956s | uh i i couldn't sleep uh when i went to |
1958s | bed and i think i got to sleep about |
1960s | three o'clock in the morning um |
1964s | again it's another chemical yeah so |
1967s | again i'm just going to do that a few |
1969s | more times probably so we can weak out |
1972s | we get this amount of kills |
1977s | i like admiring them |
1983s | now we've had content literally um |
1985s | basically right from the get-go |
1988s | there you go |
1989s | i think that might be the last one now |
1994s | whilst we're talking about killboard i |
1995s | just want to thank a massive shout out |
1997s | to horde frat and goons um |
1999s | they've just feed us basically um |
2002s | they've been awesome at letting us kill |
2003s | them um and we definitely |
2006s | could not have done it without them uh |
2008s | the kill males prove it |
2010s | um |
2011s | so it's not it's not limited to |
2015s | just fun ink obviously |
2017s | especially get some amazing content too |
2019s | uh |
2021s | that i think |
2022s | i knicked from the aar channel on |
2024s | specifics discord um |
2026s | and it's basically it's in their defeat |
2029s | debrief section and each one of these |
2031s | equates to one room or one part of a |
2033s | room or sorry one fight within a room |
2035s | it's a mixture of lowsec nullsec um as |
2037s | you can see |
2038s | i think it's about 100 billion in 12 |
2042s | 12 rooms i think it was it's insane |
2046s | and |
2051s | i don't have the same problem |
2058s | that is |
2060s | aside from it being awesome uh it's |
2062s | actually the unthinkable um it's the |
2064s | seven day varga |
2065s | bingo card |
2066s | uh |
2068s | it was actually nine vargas i believe in |
2071s | three was it 11 okay see this is the |
2073s | thing these guys get so much content i i |
2076s | had to change so many of these slides it |
2077s | was quite and i was adding them and |
2079s | adding them anyway it was like three |
2081s | afternoons worth of pvp in |
2083s | was it about on i think it was a badass |
2085s | one mostly time and that was it |
2087s | so beaver's dead |
2091s | that's his contrary |
2093s | now in fact around the 14th of april um |
2096s | i believe it was um this is actually um |
2099s | from zed kill |
2101s | four out of ten of the top pilots |
2106s | on zed kill |
2108s | are actually mpsi people audi virion |
2111s | paradigm rain |
2114s | they're basically regulars to go to the |
2115s | mpsi range and that that's me if 40 of |
2118s | those people |
2119s | um regularly attend npsi roams and that |
2122s | says to me that mpsi is clearly |
2126s | kicking out basically |
2128s | now |
2131s | i don't i don't even know what so about |
2133s | this to be honest um |
2135s | you you see things on like reddit and |
2137s | you know so on and so forth and then you |
2138s | hear the one about the uh |
2140s | mpsi group that killed four arcs in less |
2142s | than five minutes um 90 billion isk |
2146s | in like five minutes it's literally |
2148s | insane um |
2150s | the content's out there you just need to |
2151s | log in um |
2153s | and as i said i actually gave up adding |
2156s | slides because pretty much every week |
2159s | something awesome was happening |
2160s | respectively and and so on um so |
2163s | the slide won't do it justice just get |
2165s | on to discord go along to the mpsi |
2167s | rhymes |
2169s | likewise bombers bar |
2173s | i can't really go into much more detail |
2175s | than that they do what they do they do |
2177s | it awesome they don't have as many air |
2179s | reports though like after-action reports |
2181s | um on their discord |
2182s | um |
2183s | i think it's probably because they're |
2184s | out killing stuff um i like i like a |
2187s | good write-up though as does fearing as |
2189s | well |
2190s | so eve is not dead |
2193s | it very very much is alive |
2197s | so |
2197s | gonna move on |
2199s | slightly to challenges to mpsi |
2202s | um i've spoken at length about how |
2204s | awesome npsi is and where it came from |
2207s | and the state of mpsi |
2209s | in recent times |
2211s | what have been the main challenges to |
2213s | mpsi |
2214s | um |
2216s | ironically enough um i say ironically |
2220s | basically one of the principal issues or |
2222s | not issues challenges is is actually the |
2226s | client itself |
2228s | traditionally it's focused um on |
2230s | corporate alliance communications um so |
2233s | not necessarily like open to public |
2235s | content or communication |
2238s | so we kind of got around this by message |
2240s | of the days mailing lists and how many |
2244s | people would have won eve |
2246s | because it was so high maintenance um |
2248s | having to edit message of the day having |
2250s | to go in gaming the client having to |
2252s | send a mail and |
2253s | this is all client-side stuff |
2255s | now |
2257s | something that's always always bugged me |
2259s | um is if you're a new player how would |
2262s | you even find out about an npsi channel |
2266s | aside from like spamming it in jeter and |
2268s | yada yada |
2270s | people know about bombs bars better |
2271s | fleet so on and so forth um |
2274s | this is eve the video so on um |
2276s | what of the smaller groups um these guys |
2278s | and girls that basically they put out |
2280s | content daily |
2282s | um but they don't have |
2285s | um but basically the attendance to these |
2288s | realms comes entirely |
2290s | uh word of mouth forums reddit social |
2292s | media twitter instagram |
2294s | um there's next to no visibility in game |
2297s | um so the lack of a client-side public |
2300s | calendar and a method for you to |
2303s | actually plan your gaming in advance i |
2305s | know that sounds very very |
2307s | um |
2309s | strange comment um |
2311s | i actually have to do that um because i |
2313s | do i'm quite busy in real life in all |
2314s | fairness um so i actually have to plan |
2316s | my gaming in advance and |
2319s | to to create those connections it's |
2321s | forcing people specifically |
2324s | in the npsi field it forces those |
2326s | endeavors to get um have to be planned |
2328s | offline |
2329s | on discord third party websites and so |
2331s | on um so it's quite a shame really um |
2335s | now |
2337s | hype |
2339s | um i was like super super excited about |
2343s | the fleet discovery tool |
2344s | um |
2347s | i don't know how to say this without |
2350s | um i'm just gonna say it um it didn't |
2352s | hit them up for npsi |
2355s | it |
2356s | didn't hit the mark in terms of |
2358s | how we actually interact with content |
2360s | creators |
2361s | um and the ipsi groups that exist |
2364s | didn't allow for advanced planning |
2367s | there was only live instances of fleets |
2370s | at that particular moment in time |
2372s | um |
2374s | there was no way of seeing future events |
2376s | it lacked visibility |
2377s | transparency of content and |
2380s | there were so many opportunities |
2382s | that i think from my perspective |
2384s | um i just don't see that the fleet |
2387s | discovery tool really scratched the |
2388s | surface of |
2389s | what was actually needed and what was |
2391s | actually truly required of the |
2394s | mpsi community can't say it should be |
2396s | upset um and that's why so many of those |
2399s | in-game activities are still |
2401s | um they're still planned offline |
2403s | now |
2405s | brings me very very handily it's almost |
2408s | like i planned it |
2409s | onto the next slide which is me talking |
2412s | about the funning npsi canada and |
2414s | community gateway drum roll or something |
2416s | we're officially one year old |
2422s | i set up the calendar um |
2425s | after the dissolution of spector fleet's |
2428s | nps ihub and |
2431s | i felt that the work that we did um and |
2434s | i say we did it and we did |
2437s | i wanted to continue that push um for a |
2439s | centralized calendar um |
2441s | i i kind of thought |
2444s | basically |
2445s | the community needed it um |
2448s | now |
2450s | it's in in an accessible format |
2453s | there's a listing of the fleets |
2454s | available from some of the top npsi um |
2457s | groups out there |
2458s | um here's a little advert that i did |
2460s | that should be sound again |
2463s | [Music] |
2481s | and uh |
2483s | yeah so it's what 42 year olds get up to |
2485s | in their spare time |
2486s | this is eve |
2487s | that was eve |
2489s | so |
2491s | i launched the public calendar um with |
2494s | the sole aim to showcase some of the |
2496s | best mpsi pvp content creators out there |
2499s | people that consistently post fleets |
2501s | consistently gets content and are |
2503s | basically totally awesome um |
2505s | the site acts as a springboard for |
2507s | community engagement |
2508s | uh cross harmonization of groups |
2511s | with sole intent of promoting variety |
2513s | visibility of content with main focus |
2517s | to develop relationships within eve |
2519s | um i want it to be centralized so that |
2521s | anybody could see it |
2522s | and have that variety |
2525s | across a variety of time zones and for |
2527s | it to be as inclusive as possible |
2529s | now |
2532s | that's basically |
2534s | pretty much it in terms of the calendar |
2536s | itself can be found on our website uh |
2538s | above link |
2539s | if you can't find |
2541s | it straight away just google ebwf |
2544s | uh mpsi calendar and you'll find it and |
2546s | don't forget to bookmark it |
2548s | um |
2549s | the astute of you might have seen those |
2551s | in your swag bags also |
2553s | um |
2554s | the qr code works on these ones |
2557s | on that fly you've got the url to the |
2558s | corporate website |
2559s | uh where they can where where you can |
2561s | find out about the corp and also the mps |
2562s | like calendar and you've got |
2564s | access to the discord over there |
2566s | so if you do one thing today |
2568s | um hop on discord um |
2571s | or just use it as a paper airplane |
2574s | um it's up to you |
2575s | um currently we've got 13 groups as i |
2577s | said we're soon to add and major just so |
2579s | you know |
2580s | this might be 14 next week |
2582s | might be 15 next week potentially |
2585s | just |
2585s | to keep you up so up to date he does the |
2587s | hard work he does the hard work |
2590s | now the list is growing um we're going |
2592s | to make it even more user-friendly we |
2594s | need to talk about this |
2597s | i was really really drunk |
2600s | you can probably hear it in all fairness |
2602s | um |
2603s | this is basically calendar |
2605s | it's pretty simple um |
2608s | it basically comes with a number of |
2610s | views |
2611s | um |
2612s | each group is color coded uh by linking |
2615s | basically by clicking on the fleets um |
2617s | you can see the details the fleet format |
2618s | location doctrines comms details that |
2620s | sort of stuff |
2622s | you've also got a list of like an agenda |
2623s | view basically just lists all the fleets |
2625s | that are coming up this i took the |
2627s | screen dumps quite a while back um so |
2629s | it's quite old |
2630s | um |
2631s | and the last view |
2632s | is the must list that's basically a |
2635s | month view um look at all those fleets |
2640s | it's mad |
2642s | now when i set the calendar up um i need |
2645s | it to be simple um |
2648s | basically effective and require an |
2649s | external maintenance um and i needed to |
2652s | be user friendly and so we opted to |
2655s | integrate from |
2656s | a google calendar |
2658s | uh everybody everybody knows how to use |
2659s | an outlook style calendar |
2661s | um and each of the mpsi leads is |
2664s | provided a link to that calendar |
2666s | um so once they populate the fleet with |
2670s | um |
2671s | sorry the calendar with their fleet |
2672s | details |
2673s | um it integrates directly through to |
2677s | the website |
2678s | uh |
2679s | second main integration happens in the |
2681s | background from the google calendar |
2682s | directly into discord |
2684s | uh |
2686s | and i'll say this out loud uh well i |
2688s | won't say silently um the discord |
2690s | integration is where the magic actually |
2692s | happened um |
2693s | so |
2695s | who here is actually on discord |
2697s | just say just yell i can't really see |
2700s | yeah it's as i thought it's pretty much |
2701s | all of you probably um |
2703s | now i'd like to introduce you to fluffy |
2708s | uh that's our bespoke discord bot it was |
2711s | dined in designed in-house by major over |
2712s | there |
2714s | and it's named after dibbles uh who's |
2716s | chapping corp he doesn't know that yet |
2718s | though what he does i think he suspects |
2719s | it |
2720s | um |
2722s | he does now |
2724s | a couple people would have got that |
2725s | reference |
2727s | now when a fleet's posted on uh |
2730s | on the calendar uh it announces onto |
2731s | discord |
2733s | and uh when the fleet is about to form |
2735s | up fluffy pings you on discord and |
2736s | reminds you about the fleet and once the |
2738s | fleet is over it archives it from |
2739s | discord um so any one time on um you'll |
2743s | only see future fleet |
2745s | and if you need to edit any of the |
2746s | fleets it automatically updates the ping |
2748s | um to remove the previous instance of it |
2750s | and replace it with a new one |
2752s | so it basically removed 99 of the sort |
2755s | of painful administration |
2757s | side |
2759s | and i'm not gonna go into too much |
2762s | detail about the bot itself because |
2764s | i don't actually really know how it |
2765s | works because as i said i just done i'm |
2767s | enjoying the like techie stuff so |
2771s | here's a cute kitten uh |
2774s | there you go |
2775s | um |
2776s | now |
2777s | i'm gonna move on slightly now uh we've |
2779s | so we've spoken about npsi |
2781s | um it's origins it's barriers and i've |
2784s | given you like a really really quick |
2785s | whistle stop tour of the integrations |
2787s | involved in the calendar |
2789s | um but what is the future of mpsi |
2793s | i i've actually played eve now |
2796s | for |
2798s | nearly 43 of my life |
2801s | i do like numbers um |
2803s | and i actually genuinely believe that |
2805s | mpsi is it's in as good a state as it |
2807s | has ever been if not the best state i |
2809s | would say |
2810s | content is going out daily many billions |
2812s | of risk is being destroyed |
2814s | um daily basis basically just so long as |
2817s | there is a means for content creators to |
2820s | advertise the fleet |
2822s | um i believe it's in safe hands |
2824s | um |
2825s | i would love |
2827s | um for client-side development |
2830s | to happen to enhance the mpsi experience |
2835s | and i believe that npsi |
2838s | needs that continued exposure |
2841s | to get people hooked on pvp |
2844s | i would love |
2846s | for the mpsi community leads to work |
2848s | with ccp to channel the knowledge that |
2850s | we have and the skills and experience |
2852s | and the understanding that we have |
2854s | um that we've developed um |
2858s | and basically help them |
2861s | help us |
2863s | um |
2864s | i think it would be a better in a better |
2866s | place if |
2868s | the if the community is engaged with |
2869s | basically |
2870s | now |
2871s | for fun inc um we're going to be |
2873s | continue being awesome basically i'm |
2875s | going to keep looking for more groups |
2877s | we're going to look for more content |
2878s | creators |
2881s | and support them um people's growth and |
2884s | push the npsi community moving forward |
2887s | um we're going to develop the calendar i |
2889s | need to speak to you about this major |
2891s | lots of wii |
2893s | um we're going to develop the calendar |
2894s | its functionality and make it even |
2895s | better than it is |
2897s | um so if if there are any fcs or you |
2899s | know people that post content regularly |
2900s | that sort of thing if it's pvp |
2902s | um just get in contact with me um all my |
2905s | details are gonna be at the end of the |
2906s | presentation |
2908s | so |
2909s | how can you help npsi |
2911s | okay so this is gonna be my last |
2914s | few |
2916s | um sort of content slides |
2919s | and it's probably as important as any of |
2922s | the slides |
2923s | you've seen previously |
2924s | um it's how you can con contribute uh |
2927s | how you can support how you can assist |
2929s | any of these groups um continue |
2931s | providing their content |
2934s | it's pretty simple |
2936s | that's the key one |
2938s | that's pretty key as well |
2941s | you know you you guys know this stuff |
2943s | log in x up in a channel take a support |
2945s | role support nps uh content creators |
2949s | um |
2950s | and probably equally as important |
2953s | is spread the word |
2954s | tell people about mpsi tell people about |
2957s | fleets tell people about good |
2958s | experiences |
2960s | tell tell a friend |
2961s | bring a friend get active |
2963s | get in fleet |
