Hello Capsuleers,
We will use this thread to keep you updated on the progress of the Incursion 1.5 release. The deployment is on schedule and Tranquility is currently in testing mode while we check the changes. Should anything change, we will use this thread to inform you all. We will also provide a status update roughly every hour.

An 8.5 hour patch time for a 16mb client side patch dnload.....hmmmm, I feel a great disturbance in tranquility, as if millions of hamsters suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.

What I dont understand is why they have to constantly keep messing around with mechanics and keep changing everything when it was perfectly fine 4 years ago.
Prime example of this is messing with exploration system, and this stupid upgrade space idea. Plexes where perfectly acceptable when it was total random, and it was a really nice supprise when your hard work to find that plex turned into something tidy. Now its just CA farming to hell and back. And probing is no longer a challange, everyone is doign it and I feel cheated after taking months on end to train all probing skills to V.

roughly
This word frightens me.
Server will be up roughly at 17:30... We will update you roughly every hour...
lets see how 'rough' this first update is gonna be. Then we'll have an estimate of the return of the live server

Yet another unclever info topic hiding in the discussion forum.
There's a forum channel called "EVE Information Portal".
You expect customers to find info about ongoing stuff in the general discussion forum.

soo "roughly" 8 minutes extra for every hour of downtime, that's 9.5*8 = 76 minutes extra, so server will be up at 17:46 !

Thanks for the correction, but it is not warranted as peoples non agreement of changes is also written and spoken (Fanfest, CSM as an example)

Right, the old probing system took great skill.... deploy probe, cloak up and hit scan.. wait 5 minutes for result. Only part that took any effort was to setup bookmarks for good cover.

Thats not true, unless you have the right skills, the right equipment, and getting a good nack for probe setup it was a challange. Now its dump 3 probes hit scan done. Where is the challange in that.
The old problem of angles, and getting the positions correct. There was a lot more interaction with the system previously.
It basically boils down to noobs not being able to probe well enough on the old system in high sec, so rather than think about it properly they decided to make it easy across the board.

Seeing as how you can't get a warpable hit with less than 4 probes (unless you've found some neat bug to exploit), the challenge is pretty much infinite at that point.
Quote: The old problem of angles, and getting the positions correct.
Neither of those were problems or interactions ù it was just a tedium. There was no difficulty that kept people away, just a wall of boredom.
àand seeing as how they had to have people do it en masse to give W-space a purpose and make T3 a worth-while investment, that mindless tedium had to go and be replaced with something that required some actual gameplay. 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 |

As someone who probes quite frequently (and is actually fairly good at it), I'm quite pleased with the change. Probing isn't difficult once you figure out how it works, it's just tedious. Making probing less tedious and less time-consuming is a good thing in my book. Yes, I took the time to train the skills up and yes I took the time to learn how to probe properly; and people WILL still have to learn it through trial and error.
Honestly, the only thing that keeps me from probing/exploring some days is that I just feel like micro-managing the little f*kers - a problem that CCP how now remedied. /undocks in Anathema
