"This week in EVE" is a weekly overview of EVE Online related news and events and shows what is going on in EVE Online. The focus of this overview is on official news from CCP: For example, dev blogs and important forum posts by CCP developers, the ever evolving background story and upcoming events.
The current "This week in EVE" gives on overview of the week 27/2013 from June 29th to July 5th
Devblogs
- An Update on Bug Reporting, Part 1 - Forum discussion
The amazing community of EVE Online players have supported our game developers since the earliest days (October 26th 2003 to be precise), swiftly reporting any bugs. CCP thankfully supports these efforts, for example, by working closely together with the url=http://community.eveonline.com/community/volunteer-program/]ISD bug hunter division[/url]. At the end of June 2013, the internal defect tracking system was updated and modernized to AtlassianGÇÿs Jira. To properly support this internal change, the bug reporting tools out-of-game and in-game will be revised, considerably modernized, and streamlined for better usability. Until this updated is deployed, please use the Issues forum to notify us about issues.
- A New Live Event for July - Forum discussion
New live events are happening during July 2013 in the New Eden Universe! Get involved, travel the universe and take pictures of three sets of ten selected places in New Eden and upload them to imgur. For each completed set you will receive a reward, ranging from a Zephyr to a Low-Grade 'Virtue' Alpha implant, and have a chance at a special grand prize. Please use the Sanctuary Image Contest Submission Thread Week 1 for linking to your pictures.
Devposts on the forum and news
- Fleet fight in Z9PP-H and disconnection issue
During one of the biggest fleet fight in the history of New Eden in the system Z9PP-H with thousands of players being involved for several hours already, a critical mistake was made by CCP in the attempt to improve the server performance for all participants of this epic battle. As result of that mistake all pilots in that system got disconnected from the server and the battle was thus effectively ended. We deeply apologize for this most unfortunate mistake.
- [Odyssey 1.1] Skill group name changes
To revamp certificates and to make player progression easier to grasp in general, CCP Ytterbium asks for feedback on renaming some individual skills, and creating, or renaming existing skill groups and moving skills around between groups. As these are currently suggestions, we would like to invite everyone to participate with constructive feedback. CCP Ytterbium made an update based on initial feedback
- COSMOS static complexes working properly again
Issues with containers in COSMOS static complexes not respawning properly were resolved; COSMOS static complexes are working properly again now.
- CCP Alice about the EVElopedia
The EVElopedia code is now maintained 100% in-house and high level plans and ideas are already in place. Feedback and requests for further updates are welcome.
- CCP Soundwave addressing concerns resources being pulled from EVE Online development
In an interesting forum discussion about the development of EVE Online and DUST 514, CCP Soundwave (Lead Game Designer) points out that CCP hiring for DUST 514 doesn't mean that the amount of developers working on EVE Online is reduced. In fact, if someone changes projects from EVE Online to DUST 514, someone else is hired to fill this gap. All expansions will continue churning at an unchanged pace.
- Rebalancing of NOS will be done in careful steps
The coming rebalancing of Nosferatu energy vampires will be done in careful steps as confirmed by CCP Rise; no drastic game mechanic change should be expected, but feedback and ideas are closely watched.

Great idea, making a recap like this.
Just a heads up, though - you are missing the beginning bracket for the 'ISD bug hunter division' link under devblogs. It's still easy enough to copy and paste the URL into the browser, but it's not working as the usual anchor text. |

Thank you for the positive replies so far and the encouragement. The mentioned wrong links are fixed now.
I also think that weekly recaps are good and will keep this summary going as long as there is demand. CCP Phantom - Senior Community Representative - Volunteer Manager |

In other words, whichever side CCP are secretly sponsoring was losing. |

Please do not discuss here specific topics listed in the summary, for those discussions please use the linked threads.
Discussions about the summary itself (for example, the format or if more sections should be added) are most welcome though and will be eagerly taken into account. CCP Phantom - Senior Community Representative - Volunteer Manager |

Will see how long you will last for doing this.... I hope you will keep doing this, its just, you know, people get bored of doing the same thing over and over again and normal frequency of news feeds in EVE has always been low. |

Thanks a lot for gathering all together interesting topics and posts I am a regular everyday normal guy and i usually dont know where to begin reading when i visit the forums so i usually end up reading the "DEV POSTS" tab. Found this link in the launcher and then "blam" every info i wanted was there and with the bonus present of skiping the trolls (by the way you made a very good job since i joined eve cleaning up the trolls in the forum). i will still read the headlines in evenews24 and mittani.com so everyone will remain happy but this was a very good thought of you i hope you keep up the good work |

Fantastic! Love the synopsis of everything instead of pouring over devblog after devblog then player sites. Gives me a great unbias option.

Great idea, great resource.
CCP Phantom, have you guys thought about doing this in VIDEO format along the same lines of a "News Channel" type presentation?
Allowing for reasonable technical issues, you guys could probably manage a video installment of this same process perhaps once (1) per month ?
cheers, and thanks.

I am pleasantly surprised.

I have to say, I usually try and keep up with the news throughout the week, but sometimes I miss a story or a DEV post. Now, however, I can catch up on it all on a Saturday morning and in the process keep my CEO and XO's up to date on current issues.
Keep it up.

I hate having to go to so many different parts of the forums and community websites to check up on development, balancing, backstory, etc. and this solves that problem very simply. Thanks CCP! |

Thanks! Love the update. If CCP's goal is to attract new subs, then better communication is a step in the right direction. Might want to move future updates to the character selection screen. The login screen goes away quite quickly when autoplay is selected.
I've wondered why CCP didn't appear interested in mimicking the effective communication methods found in successful MMOs . Good to see that you've decided it's not always necessary to reinvent the wheel.
Quote:I also think that weekly recaps are good and will keep this summary going as long as there is demand.
Please read my preceding statement one more time. Good communication makes CCP money. I also like the idea of a video blog, though it's easier to read and follow the links for more detailed info.
Keep up the good work! The rest of the staff will be impressed when they return from vacation. |

Excellent idea! maybe make it a twice monthly update though you will get fed up doing them weekly.
Macker Momo wrote:Thanks! Love the update. If CCP's goal is to attract new subs, then better communication is a step in the right direction. Might want to move future updates to the character selection screen. One nice addition would be a simple list with possible status of things from the ideas players give that are currently having serious CCP activity / thought / work being done on them. as stated by Macker "quoted"
- But only bullet points say things that MAY appear within the next years updates
