Hi!
We are holding tests normally on Thursdays and sometimes on Saturdays. These tests will help us assess how well the new expansion performs and thus help us identify any areas that need to be cleaned up to prevent lag from getting out to TQ. _________________________________ Test schedule:
[Dates last updated: November 9]
Upcoming: Thursday [November 11] @ 20:00 GMT Thursday [November 18] @ 20:00 GMT
Completed: Thursday [October 28] @ 20:00 GMT - ~480 players Thursday [October 21] @ 20:00 GMT - ~280 players Thursday [October 14] @ 20:00 GMT - ~400 players Thursday [October 7] @ 20:00 GMT - ~410 players Saturday [September 25] @ 20:00 GMT - ~580 players
** If your account isn't active on SiSi, you should visit the Reactivation thread to get that fixed. **
How to connect to Singularity for these tests: Best: Use the Sisi launcher tool! Otherwise: Follow the steps at http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Singularity
Details for the mass test on Thursday [November 11] @ 20:00 GMT:
We need at least 400 pilots, preferably 550+
What exactly is being tested?
- ship death
- improvement to how objects are added and removed
- general performance
What will be the test steps?
To be decided, but probably similar to:
- Start in MHC-R3
- Jump to F67E-Q
- Warp to the Poitot gate
- Jump to Poitot
- Setup camp with Fleet W in X-BV98, warp Fleet X to X-BV98 gate
- Jump Fleet X to X-BV98, short fight
- Warp to a POS
- Shoot the POS
- Wait for the big bang
What do I need to do exactly?
- Try running logServer (in server mode), read here if you're not sure how.
- Join the channel "MassTesting"
- You will want to bring any PvP-fitted ship, drones are great, cynos for capitals will be provided
- You should pay attention to your FPS (use ctrl+f to view in-game)
- Anyone able to use multiple accounts is strongly encouraged to bring their alts!
What else should I know?
- You can get more testing information by subscribing to the "Mass Testing Info" mailing list on TQ!
- CCP staff and ISD will be on hand prior to the test to help move players to the starting location.
- Don't forget to fill out the feedback thread after the test, they link will be posted during the test.
- All participants of the mass test will get 2 million free skillpoints on Singularity as small reward

You're testing ship death on Remembrance Day (Armistice Day).
Fair enough I guess, it's only a game, but for those that want to give http://www.poppy.org.uk/support-us/give-money please do.

WTF does that have to do with EvE?
I would give if it was linked only to WW1 & WW2 heroes but while it is linked to the murderers that served in Northern Ireland no flipin' way. Nothing heroic about shooting a 14 year old kid in the head with a plastic bullet or feeding info and weapons to loyalist terrorists to kill Nationalist civilians.
A banner at a Celtic match sums it up. "Your deeds would shame all the devils in Hell. Ireland, Iraq, Afghanistan. No bloodstained poppy on our Hoops".

Sheesh, can we all lighten up please? Surely you don't expect CCP to schedule their game around the holidays of all the dozens of countries their players come from? And just to give an example, November 11th is the start of the carnival season in Germany, so a cause for merriment... |

2mil points on Sigularity as a reward? Why would we need 2 mil skill points on a test server =) I bet if you gave 2 mil points for Tranq, you would have thousands of people joined the test:)

Giving such a fake reward will not bring any interest to players, I wouldnt even bother reinstalling SiSi, give like 100-200K sp on Tranquillity instead, half your active players will show up.

But they don't want half the active players, they want 400-550+. Having so many players means that the logs become all but useless. And anyway, I think it's a nice reward. Gives people a chance to try things they're training for on TQ, which certainly interests me. Giving SP on TQ would also be unfair to the players which can't make the mass test owing to real-world commitments. -------------------------------- Never bring two ships if it's enough to get the job done. Bring Ten. |

Stop trolling. Sisi is great for testing ships and this test is to make the game better.
If you really want reward on TQ.. well Noone will miss you.

Well 2mil sp, shame it's on sisi as I'm rarely thier except for the odd mass test.
Only thing is this is kinda a catch 22, yes I'm sure you'l give us the 2mil sp as a reward like your promising but as everyone knows, whenever a expansion is released all the accounts from tranq are mirrored and copied into sisi meaning that whatever sp bonus you give us on sisi will be wiped out with the next expansion.
And guess whats coming out soon.
Thank you

So, will this use the Incursion build or or a branch of Tyrannis 1.2? ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡à you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki |

Actually they redistribute up to 6 million sp on mirror day. Depending on participation in the last three tests before the mirror.

will this be a post incursion or pre incursion testing version on the 18th of novemeber if it is post incursion i am guessing they will use any hotfixes and then retest lag levels. That said testing to date has already been using the Incursion code so really they have it done a few times

And that's why it single handily increased the turn out by 800%

Theres been a lot of disscusions about buying/getting skill points on TQ and anyway you put it the majority of people do not agree whit it. Sisi is a testing server and the fact that we are getting 2mil SP reward on it it freaking awsome gives you a chance to see in what direction to train, what would come usefull to you etc. etc.. anyways a great reward but iam sure people would turn out even whitout the reward cuss in the end this is mostly benificial to us : )

Singularity is now updated with a new build (Incursion), both auto-patch and SisiLauncher should work. Warning: The patch from Tranquility is about 1.5GB.
We are now also including a test of remapping of systems, which will happen at the end of the test.

Both the full client, and the TQ > SISI patch are reporting broken on unpack (the first stage of install).
What gives? Is one of the CDN servers broken? _________________ --- Snatch Victory - Rivqua - Omega Wing ---

I actually planned on being at this mass test, setup my client last night and go to log on 30 minutes early today and... 1.5GB patch?!? Looks like I'm going to miss the start of it now :( It'd be nice if you released patches this big earlier on days you also plan on doing mass testing.

I plan for the next neural remapping (can do remapping March, 12) for maybe (into other things) train for Tengu in L5. That 2M SP allows me to train all but Caldari Strategic Cruisers V, so can try to find some uber prober in SiSi and "test" if he can insta-probe me. If the answer is yes, won't need to trash a lot of time in TQ. Better now? :)
CCP, I await for my 2M SP.

I use it for testing new builds that I am working toward without actually spending tons of money on. I was able to test out Proteus builds without spending a 3/4 of a bill on Tranq to see it not work. |

I also was ready in next system to do the mass test a week early for the test on the 11th and was not able to because of the massive update.. will i be compensated for the 2 mil sp. i was looking forward to this and the time alloted without any warning that i rushed home from work for. only to see i couldn't do it in time.. almost an hour later with the patch done. a little too late.. do all of us that had this problem get reimbursed for this problematic download? we were not notified in time enough. it would be great to have the sp.. so that i would be encouraged to do the next mass test thnx ccp

I myself was in school and came home to do the test... only to find the patch that was way too big.. by the time i was done the test was already done 2 hours later..... please ccp do give us the 2mil skill points. we did try. it would be greatly appreciated to try out new stuff i been waiting in anticipation for since the last mass test. thanks in advance ;-)
