This weekend Duality will be coming online courtesy of the EVE Gameplay teams. This time we're taking a look at Retribution in the works.
So for you tldr people out there, this is for you:
Duality will be online starting Friday October 26th.
It should be online from 13:00 or shortly after
Super Friends will be online on Duality, from 17:00 UTC Friday October 26th. (And probably a few more developers too.)
Duality will remain online until the morning of Tuesday October 30th.
If you are going to be on Duality join the chat channel Duality. I will be in that channel offering any support I can for people testing, answering questions, and testing myself. If you need to be moved I will be happy to help you from that channel while I am online.
I will be moving people to our test system 6-CZ49, to assist with bounty hunting. (And also having fun)
Features available to test:
Team Super Friends really wants you to check out some of our features for EVE Online: Retribution. But the list won't stop at just our features!
Here is a quick feature list for some key areas:
(Please provide feedback specific to these changes, to these following forum threads)
Team Super Friends - Bounty Hunting. ASB (Ancillary Shield Booster) changes. Salvage Drones. Micro Jump Drive. Reactive Armor Hardener changes.
Team Five 0 - AI Changes & More.
Team Pony Express - HUD changes
(Also note that the HUD changes include a work-in-progress new in space damage notifications)
Team Game of Drones - Unified Inventory changes
Team Game of Drones - Attack Cruisers
Team Game of Drones - Combat Cruisers
Team Gridlock - Fleet Hangar changes
Mass Testing AI
On top of this, Team Five 0 would like to run a mass test on Monday, October 29th, at 14:00 EVE time. During this time we would like to test the performance impact of the new AI having been applied to everything. For details about this mass test, see FoxFour's thread here.
Connecting to Duality:
Copy your main Eve install to a different folder.
Then create a shortcut to that folder's launcher (eve.exe).
Right click on that shortcut on the desktop, go into "Properties" and in the "Target" field put a space after the last entry in the field and type /server:87.237.38.60 to force the launcher to point towards Duality.
Once you run that shortcut the launcher will download the most recent patch for Duality and get you ready to connect.

I updated a known issue: There will be no ship explosions in this current build (sorry!). It's been fixed for the next time we update Duality though. It just didn't make it in the build I started today in time.

Such as?

Gates, T-3's, stations where not rendering last weekend.
They are all fine now! :)

The server is in VIP right now, I am checking it out to give it a sanity check, and test everything is fine in general. You should be able to download the client & updates now.

I told Masterplan about that earlier in the week. He's working on that.

Interesting discussion. I get the impression that without some direction you are feeling undervalued as testers on the server. (This is far from correct)
We could over a drink at Fanfest perhaps, or maybe Goliath or myself should write a dev blog. Food for thought.
Anyway, the fact is that Duality has been getting builds of our code much earlier than we previously have done. So you guys have had much more volatile changes at your hands.
The Test Servers will be changing shortly, as we are now Staging our build into what we call HELENE. This is the targeted build for the EVE Expansion Retribution. Once we have the HELENE build onto a test server, we will then be exploring much further into the mass tests, and the more familiar testing you might be used to.
Additionally, Salpun. Teams are responsible for giving CCP Goliath changes to work with when the server gets updated. If you saw my post for my team, https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=166409 you will know that we delivered a good amount of details to you guys to test.
