Sorry if I missed this in all the whining posts, but when will T2 BPOs be seeded to agents? My Starship agent still shows "nothing predictable" and we all know that's untrue since there's 5 or so per race.

I gather seeding the lottery is a dev job that can take a little time, and after most big patches it gets left as a low priority and done when they have the major kinks worked out.
Now seeing as they have a few more kinks than usual plus the dev I believe is likely the responsible one (PapaSmurf) is listed in the blog as working himself to death on the server code .. ehm it might be a little while this time heh. . ----- Apologies for any rambling that may have just occurred.

Possilby, though AFAIK they were immediately seeded after RMR. Of course, that went more smoothly than this.

Yes, we are quite busy fixing bugs right now, first we had to address the crash bugs, now we're addressing the performance bugs which are causing TQ to be unplayable in a number of systems. We estimate them to be seeded today or tomorrow the latest.

It is terrible to hear that the Devs are still suffering from this unbearable workload. In a gesture of seasonal goodwill, I will do the BPO seeding for you. Just escrow all the nice new juicy BPO's to me, and I'll dish them out to all the good little boys and girls.

Well, the feedback on it has been quite good so I'm pretty sure we'll do it. We then have to start the logistics of it, put up a system to auction the stuff, which checks RP's of players and such. I'd say January being a good time to do it, we should have TQ back in the state we want it to be in by then (Which is performing better than Cold War).

Tks for the info Oveur. I think my 700K RP's in CSE are going to be of some use then, i hope to be one of the top bidders if you don't stack RP's between players. Staking agents RP's (same field) on the same char would be fine by me

ORE getting R and D agents would be a good idea - is it auction or lottery this time round ?
T2 BPCs for the barges instead of the t2 BPOS would be a better idea many more producers some price competition.
Having some ore agents in low sec - high sec ? CCP please restore the recruitment channel |

Anyone have a link to any theory on T2 auction with RP's? For example, can corporations or alliances pool RP's, or is it down to individual players? Can players trade RP's for ISK? etc.
When I heard the word Auction, I thought okay, some great lumbering corp with 1/2 trillion ISK can bid up and win everything, but if it's RP's on a single player basis, then thats a little different. But then again, I'm sure I'll never have enough RP's to beat the real mission *****s who play every day of the week with 12 characters.
So, whats the deal with this?

Hummm, considering i have 4 agents top level 3 giving around 270 RP's per day since they lanched R&D agents your numbers should be right.
4 agents in CSE with 175K RP's = 700K RP's so 6*175 = 1.05M * 2 chars = around 2M.
That is a good number you have there, BUT, if they don't stack agents we will be on the same bidding Lv

I can't be bothered to find the discussion link. But as far I remember the lottery will still be there. As eksample, for seeding 10 blueprint originals for the same item: 7 goes to the lottery, 3 goes to auction.

The lottery was created by a dev with hangover.
The BPO lottery is the single most unbalanced thing in eve, this is the only arena were a single player can turn multi billionarie over one night. He's not getting rich thru effort and teamwork, but simple by a random event.
I say put an hold on the seeding of the new BPO's until the auction system are finished.
BTW i don't have a single RP, this is just what i think are a better solution.

Well I don't mind if the high-level BPO's are auctioned off, of course a lot of people trained a long time for that with research agents.
But it would also be kind of nice if the non-ship T2 BPO's were still in a lottery. While I cannot hope to compete with serious researchers, it would add an element of chance/surprise to it in which everyone with a research agent could participate.
Luck in getting a BPO should also be part of the game, it keeps things interested and allows people some hope as well. ;)
Not that I'd mind getting a T2 ship BPO or even BPC mind you. ;)

Edited by: Silvero on 20/12/2005 13:12:14 You are using your RP for auction, not isk.
Meaning that the research group/team that are offering the most RP for an BPO will get it, and lose all the offered RP. Meaning that in the next auction the don't have jack to trow into the RP offering "unless" they can buy enough freelancing reserchers.

Don't understand at all why some ppl are pro lottery, this game is built around team play/PVP in every aspect. Why should this be diffrent, auction ftw. You might not have enough RP in person to accuire a BPO, so what team up with some friends, and get the BPO togheter and use shares according to what RP you put in. Or sell your RP to another research team.

Originally by: CT BadIronTree the mining ships are from ore that are gallende i think :)
ORE A filthy rich corporation that disassociated itself from the Federation when it tried to encroach on the companies riches. ORE operates mainly in the Outer Ring and Cloud Ring regions, where they have mining installations scattered around in hidden locations, grinding out the most valuable minerals on the market.
Outer Ring Excavations, or ORE, is the largest independent mining corporation around. ORE was originally a fledgling Gallentean company, but struck gold when they found extremely rich Nocxium asteroid belts in the Outer Ring region. When the Gallente Federation tried to force ORE to reveal the location of the asteroid fields the company left Gallentean space and set up base in the Outer Ring region. They used their massive wealth to buy protection for their bases and keep their operation secret. Several pirate factions have tried to muscle in on the ORE territories, but with little success.

You need standings to use the agents + the skills required of course. In most cases its about do missions, LOTS of missions to get that standing with the r&d agents corp.

I wouldn't like that! :(
I personally like the lottery system. Of course I am biasd because I was a winner. But apart from that, I like the way that EVE isn't a grind! Eve seems to have a lot of older players who have jobs and I think maturity of the player base is inpart due to the fact that you cannot grind your way through eve as much as other games.
I understand that some people would like to be able to put in more effort in return for a greater chance of getting a BPO but that would mean less chance for those that cannot play 24/7.

-show info on current agent -show info on corp of agent -select agents tab -browse down to R&D agents -list will show all that you can use -for those that you cannot yet use if you show info then it will tell you the requirements for accessing them.
I would recommend that you keep on agent running until you can use at least level III. Use the connections skill.

Anyone have a link to any theory on T2 auction with RP's? For example, can corporations or alliances pool RP's, or is it down to individual players? Can players trade RP's for ISK? etc.
When I heard the word Auction, I thought okay, some great lumbering corp with 1/2 trillion ISK can bid up and win everything, but if it's RP's on a single player basis, then thats a little different. But then again, I'm sure I'll never have enough RP's to beat the real mission *****s who play every day of the week with 12 characters.
So, whats the deal with this?
I personally hope they release BP's two at a time, one in a group auction and one in a single bid per player auction.
So those that play the game as a group can pool their rp's and get the bp albeit for a lot more rp cost. Those that enjoy playing the game without a corp or just want to compete by themselves, get to bid off in the per player auction.
edit: Just in case it wasn't clear. Anyone in a corp or alliance should be able to add points to the group fund. Those same players could also compete in the single player auctions, but they'd might have less rp's available than usual due to their group donations.

I've heared of a guy winning with 3,4k rp. I thought I'd have a good chance with 14k rp, but now that I found out there are people with up to 1 million rp, i'm feeing frustrated again. More even because sometimes the giveout doesnt seem fair. There are people that have half a dozen bpo's and many more that have not won any. I feel that the chance of someone winning again should be decreased, at least for some time. If he wins again, the chance should again be decreased... That way some don't get all the goodies while some don't get any.

I've heared of a guy winning with 3,4k rp. I thought I'd have a good chance with 14k rp, but now that I found out there are people with up to 1 million rp, i'm feeing frustrated again. More even because sometimes the giveout doesnt seem fair. There are people that have half a dozen bpo's and many more that have not won any. I feel that the chance of someone winning again should be decreased, at least for some time. If he wins again, the chance should again be decreased... That way some don't get all the goodies while some don't get any.
I know someone that one with 62 rps...
While i applaude his godlike luck, I too would like to see a little more "weight" in the award calculations. I belive in random acts of the unbeliveable, I just don't have any first hand knowledge...

I agree, it is rather godlike. If CCP are using the SQL server random function, it is also not random at all, but knowable a-priori (provided we know the seed).
By the way, I would rather stand with 1,000 sheep than fall with a single lion. Especially in this rather cold weather.

Winners already have their probability of winning again reduced as their RPs are removed from that agent. Having some kind of luck equalisation factor is clearly nuts - what kind of nanny state do you live in ;) |

People on here with their 7th t2 bpo, this is just ridiculous. People who already have t2 bpo's keep getting more and people without any don't get one from the lottery. Take NAGA corp for example, i bet they got 3 or 4 t2 bpo's at least today on top of the dozens they already own. |

A lot of naga's blueprints are not owned by naga. They had the forsight to offer a great deal to those that were unable to build from there own bpos. They are fair, honest and have built up a great reputation. That is why they are rich, nothing to do with the lottery.

I hope your wrong.
after going home and looking, if you have a rocket science ra, then you have a high chance of getting a T2 BPO. quite a few different ones being given out through them. If your like me and bet on nanite and molecular engineering, we almost have no chance. *sighs* And I didn't see any giving out Cargo Expander 2 BPO's so they didn't make it in this patch, like it was stated in a Q&A session a while back.

Well the nice thing about the lottery is that everyone has a chance to win, choosing a non-popular research field increases your chances to win by much more then doing missions though.

I sometimes wonder just how BPO's get offered to characters that are no longer played or looked at. Then I start hoping that non paid accts stop accumulating RP's and aren't eligible for the lottery. It would really suck if a BPO could be offered to such characters, and that they sit on that char for a week, before being offered to yet another old character. etc.

Do you know what its like getting stuff for your agent every SINGLE day for the last couple of years and having nothing to show for it except being a couple of hundred million poorer than before?
If nothing else ccp, please make reserach agents offer 100run t2 bpc's for lps so we dont feel like crap after every patch when we get nothing for our efforts.

Does that mean they are seeded?
Also correct me if Im wrong but doesent it seem like the highly valuable BPOs are given out in small numbers, but the cheap ones like T2 tracking enhancer are given out in high numbers? ____ If your not dyin' your not tryin'. |

I've been told many a time that the devs have stated there are 20 of each T2 BPO released since they started it. Is this true, I bet it is, since you can't really tell whats valuable or not before its released. Cap Recharger 2 is a good example of that.

One alt character with about 22m skillpoints and 5 R&D agents here. Only L2 though because I hate running missions (boring!!!).
But I've won twice on the lottery with two small T2 laser BPO's. Both from the same agent a week apart. My other four agents sit around playing cards and do no work.
Being only T2 R&D agents I don't expect much out of them. Currently have these:
Hydromagnetic Physics - 13,000 pts Laser Physics - 29,500 pts Laser Physics - 22,000 pts Amarrian Starship - 45,800 pts Amarrian Starship - 42,500 pts
The T2 lasers I won were off the same agent a week apart (first time about 11k points, second time about 300 points). I can't figure it out.
I'm not a big lottery fan despite having won. I agree the game should be based on teamwork and wealth should come from work. The lottery is like a cash machine that doesn't require an atm card. I just don't like it.
I once proposed a detailed way to do research (create scientist careers). Use research slots to put in items in experiments. Each experiment would give you a "key" if successful (but many would fail). Get enough keys and put in lab and maybe have a breakthru.... or lose the keys and fail. Just like real science. I tied this in with an Explorer career. The items you put in the lab first could be rare items found in deep space, so explorers could make discoveries and sell them to the scientists, it was a grand plan that made research science based and not agent whoring based.
I'd just like to know the lottery is real. Hearing people who have 500,000 R&D points and having never won anything is sad. Yet seeing myself with 300 points win something is happy. Mixed emotions about an imperfect system.
But its what we have so make the best of it. I'll be praying tonight for a BPO to help Amarr!

Edited by: Wrayeth on 22/12/2005 04:04:33 I originally picked up a rocket science agent when CCP announced tech II siege were going to be released, in hopes of getting a BPO. I didn't really expect to get one, since I only had two weeks of research points when they were released, and I was quite correct - I didn't receive one in the original dispersal of tech II siege BPOs.
However, yesterday morning I received an offer from my agent for the exact thing I'd been looking for - a shiny new tech II siege BPO. I only had 10k research points in rocket science by that point (80rp/day from the best level 4 Lai Dai research agent in the game), but it was enough.
Thanks, CCP!  -Wrayeth

well the people whith multiple BPO's started early and were in non-ship feilds, So that helps explain it a little. But christ, I mean seriously, For the average run-of-the-mill caldari starship researcher like myself who can't afford multiple accounts, even with 400k RP, the chances are absolutly infintesenimally small.

Well no... cant be. I mean. ther are SO many people out there that started r/d right as that came out, have multiple agents and crazy amounts of rp¦s not in the overvrowded fields and still the lottery hand the bpo¦s ever and ever again to the same people/agents..... hers somthing realy realy wrong

Starship engineering is horrifically over subscribed.
Between the 3x rps yield, and the fact that they're they're where all the really really good BPOs show up, means a lot of people use agents there.
More rps in the lottery, mean that each individual one has less of a chance of winning.
If you have 5 projects, each _not_ in starship engineering, your odds of a blueprint showing up are notably higher.
*shrug* random distribution doesn't mean even distribution. If anything, the opposite. -- Lyrus Associates is recruiting |

Then again having 7 different fields for ages and nothing is realy frustrating.. even more if you see people geting multiply bpo¦s for 1/10 what you ahve in research points.
