I still stand by my statement that they are a terrible idea and we should not do them...

How long do we have to redeem this? Mostly talking about the 27th item for those of us that are traveling for the holidays.

Im sure the snowballs will make a lot of the old eve vets happy!
Merry christmas to all CCP :)

Snowballs? This is madness.

Honestly I personally think day 2 has the better stuff.

Our latest expansion EVE Online: Retribution was just delivered to you all, but if you have thought we would just stop doing exciting things, you might be up for some surprises!

Read CCP Unifex' latest dev blog here about the upcoming holiday season and discover yourself if we will have a white Christmas and other good things!

We also welcome you to use this thread to post your constructive feedback and ideas.

Don't really care about the snowball launchers.

I am looking forward to finding out what the other 2 gifts are.

anything extra special for the members who have been loyal to this game for 10 years? :)

You get one extra snow ball.

I've never used snowballs in EVE. I've only heard veterans talking about those. I'm too young.

When there will next ingame dev event then You should try to kill devs by using snowball launchers - if devs ship is succesfully destroyed by killing blow from snowball then it randomly drops:
"santa klaus outfit",
"100 PLEX",
"CCP Punkturis as your domme",
"pass that grants You place in next new eden open"
and different assorted stuff.

Fixed that for ya.

Or perhaps even more accurate now.

domme",

Fixed that for ya.

I hate it when it set up so that I can't sneak-peak at presents. Damn you Sant... CCP Unifex.

Please fix retribution issues first. You can start by removing new npc ai totally. Secondly you can bring back divisions in my carriers CHA to end this horrific one hangar madness. Also there are bugs to be fixed that has been since retribution was on buckingham. For example hud showing 30% "red dmg" on your shield, hull and armor after undocking.

Thanks anyways i still appreciate the work done and theres some real good changes aswell.. Also i approve gifts aslong its not pax amaria..

It seems you are re-using the old snowball launcher, which has now been renamed to the festival launcher. This means that the previously rare snowball launcher is now going to be very common. The price has already crashed and people who collect rare items have lost a lot of money. Not good.

Also, are we getting neural remaps? Most of us have come to expect them as a Christmas present. If not, can you put them on the NEX store or something?

sometimes you're the dog, and other times you're the fire hydrant... or something to that effect.

Just thinking...If we has WiS common areas we could throw snowballs at each other.

When shift-clicking was mandated by the new UI's first iteration, I posted frequently this year:

"What's next? With two shifts and a triple click, fireworks should shoot out of your exhaust!"

So if we're getting fireworks for Christmas, I'll be stoked!



Happy Holidays everyone. Best wishes.

On behalf of the team here at CCP, I want to thank you for being the most incredible part of the EVE universe and wish a wonderful holiday season to you and yours.

And thatGÇÖs not to mention features like Bounty Hunting, Crimewatch, War Declarations and Factional Warfare overhauls.

Stop the idea to be able to give every one in EVE a bounty! That is just silly!

..... and will not get bounty from every idiot who sees me an an official help channel!

Just because every one has a bounty now, does not mean that you have introduced the new profession "Bounty Hunter"!
The current system with bounty is exact the same crap as it was before Retribution. The only good idea is the particularly payment of bounties from players.

Stop the idea to be able to give every one in EVE a bounty! That is just silly!

Thank you for the gifts CCP. But I do not play since Retribution anyway! Accounts are cancelled. I will not activate them till I am able to do missions with my drones again and will not get bounty from every idiot who sees me an an official help channel!

Please do not disregard us, the collectors. Perhaps there are only couple hundreds of collectors being too attentive about these little changes, but still, we spent billions collecting these and they are about to be devalued to nothing. At least you could've warned us about this little presents.

SNOWBALLS FOOLS!

I still stand by my statement that they are a terrible idea and we should not do them...

Honestly I personally think day 2 has the better stuff.

i don't get posts like this - how does having a bounty negatively affect your time in-game??? it doesn't change your game at all if you never get a suspect flag because you're carebearing in highsec. since everyone has a bounty, who cares if you do or not... it's not the same game as before when having a bounty meant that you did something wrong in-game to someone.... christ, lighten up!

I know I'll come across as a whining 5 yearold but... no remap! WAAAAAHHHHH!!!

Anyway, Thanks to CCP for ruining my real life since 2005 to a point where life has become a whole lot cheaper and less crazy. Wouldn't want it any other way.

Hello Soll,

sorry but If you "don`t get posts like mine" it is your problem. I have a problem with the pathetic try to explain this new crap-mechanic. Have a look at the features page for Retribution. New Profession.. BOUNTY HUNTER! What a sh!it!
Following CCP's logic means that every ganker is now a bounty hunter if he kills someone with a lol-bounty on his head. He is no ganker anymore.. he is a real respective Bounty Hunter.
Furthermore I never did wrong things in EVE which causes CONCORD. As long as the bounty pool is run by CONCORD (in other words - the police) I demand to be excluded from beeing able to have a bounty!
Reintroduce the restriction with secstate -1 to be able to have a bounty. But I think such a restriction will cause many other problems with the new bounty system and CCP is not able to solve them.
Oh.. I nearly forgot.. my missions are no fun anymore. Trash the new NPC-Mission-AI which was developed for Sleeper and group tactics!

No remap on eve birthday and now no remap for christmas. Last christmas was so much better someone needs to be fired.

I have this looming feeling that EVE will be the host of the largest snowball fight in history...

On another note, thanks to the community for being awesome! Looking forward to another 10 years of EVE awesomeness!

I've never done anything wrong and therefore people shouldn't be able to put a price on my head!!

Yep. sounds legit. Tell that to Malala and her Taliban bounty.

What, you think that just because you're following the law to a T you should be immune from bounties? WTF do you think FBI witness protection is for? Stay in high sec if you're worried about your bounty. Or, alternatively, you can actually go and read the dev blogs about it which explain the system, because you clearly have no idea how it works or you wouldn't be this enraged. Seriously, you think your pithy little bounty is something to worry about? You should see mine.

Additionally, sleeper AI was not added to NPCs the way you seem to think it was. Again, try reading the damn devblogs.

The most common is the normal one you find on all mission rats, belt rats, and the like. Secondly, we have what we internally call Level One AI which is on sleeper and incursion NPC. The final AI is the one on Concord.
....
Other than that, all the NPC in the belts, missions, complex, navies, pirate faction, empire faction, and any others I can find will get the newer Level One AI.

You can still do drugs _while_ playing EVE.

Do not conclude from your own nescience to others! I know that I have no killright with a bounty on my head. UH! I know how this new system works! But I do not like the idea to have an bounty on my head, even if I am an Highsec Dweller.
Furthermore:


So! I suggest you to also read all DevBlogs.

well someone didn't like you enough to put a bounty on your head for some reason. If this was your main, I'd login and put a bounty on your head just for being annoying and whiny in a thread about gifts. your whining is off-topic.. Say your thanks you spoiled brat and go vent in the appropriate thread.

I think I will join the band wagon of annoyed people in relation to the renaming and devaluing of the Snowball Launcher.
I mean you could have just made the new Festival Launcher a Meta 1 of the same series right, with the original Snowball Launcher being the Meta 0? At least then you could have keep them Unique and also have support for the Further versions to also be unique.

As for the people winning about the possible lack of a Neural Remap, grow up and learn to plan based off what is Guaranteed not what you hope there to be.

I for one hope that there are some new collectables available.

I also hope that there is a BPO being Seeded for Generic SnowBalls so that they can be used all year round.

SNOWBALLS should be a part of every Christmas! Thanks CCP!

PS: let all snowballs, even the old melted ones, begin working again every holiday season! And give us snowball blueprints too!

I have to say, Collecting Profession is most likely the most risky and stress-inducing profession available.

Do we really have to worry about our collection getting devalued on every freaken new patches, expansions, and marketing promotions?

So much for this awesome sandbox experience.

Wow, get a life

Is that's all for the 10th anniversary?

Sorry, but after the STO winter event with snowballs and ice races it's just nothing.

Would you just open the damn CQ door and let us celebrate on the jita station? Yeah, yeah, it's too much for eve online...
