Womble God Gallente Compression Space Transport	Posted - 2006.09.25 21:30:00 - [31] Wow, the new map function looks like it could be fun to sit and play with. Nice to see you guys taking your time getting Kali patch 1 onto test. Keep up the good work CCP.
Altaree Gallente Red Frog Investments Daikoku Trade Syndicate	Posted - 2006.09.25 21:39:00 - [32] Does this happen to anyone else: As soon as I see and Eve screen shot I start trying to rotate or zoom the image with the mouse. I WANT 3-D SCREEN SHOTS!!! :) Fix The Web Servers
Miss Overlord Gallente Garoun Investment Bank	Posted - 2006.09.25 22:05:00 - [33] 3d shots are coming
Hydrian Alante The Loot Company	Posted - 2006.09.25 22:10:00 - [34] Why are you still talking about Kali? The name is EvE Online: Revelations. So maybe in 2 weeks for testing? And release in October... I sense many whine threads and a exploding petition delay on the horizon.

Miss Overlord Gallente Garoun Investment Bank	Posted - 2006.09.25 22:29:00 - [36] i see CCP changing the name come patch time revelations out and something else in its place
Steppa Gallente Sturmgrenadier Inc R i s e	Posted - 2006.09.25 22:35:00 - [37] Even assuming that the game is played as designed, and that there's absolutely nothing wrong with any of it, the comment about gas clouds being interesting as alliances fight over them was an eyecatcher. Not because I think it will be interesting, but because it's simply more of the same. You'll get, and I'm just guessing here, more blob-warefare, more lag, and more (the horror) POS ping-pong. POS ping-pong is the single greatest nail in the coffin at them moment, and hell, I'm an optimist at heart. Look, I'm a hardcore Eve'r. I've been with the game for a long time and have had a lot of fun with both the game and my mates. But the way things work now between decent-sized alliances is just pathetically predictable and dull. Honestly...it's all about who gets bored first anymore. The small gang stuff is unbelievably fun, even up to smallish fleet engagements. Get over 30 or so on a side, though, and a lot goes to pot. I'm starting to feel like the game I loved is not actually the game itself, but more the idea of what it could become. I'm wondering about that now. In the meantime, I'll just keep training toward those shiny new ships we're supposed to be getting.
Hockston Axe Amarr	Posted - 2006.09.25 23:10:00 - [38] The seamless map with the actual Eve galaxy making the background is too cool. Overlapping popups that are unreadable isnÆt too cool. The æYou Are HereÆ popup should stand out more, like having itÆs own color. Color coding for types (Gates, Stations, belts etc.) would make it faster to get a quick bearing, unless of course youÆre colorblind.
Imode Band of Builders Inc. Firmus Ixion	Posted - 2006.09.26 00:54:00 - [39] Whoa whoa, information overload with all those little popup labels. Hopefully, they were just photoshopped in and the actual feature will just have labels appearing on mouseover, or at least in a somewhat more organized fashion. ____________________________ Sig removed, lacks Eve-related content - Cortes
Yaevep Euphoria Released Euphoria Unleashed	Posted - 2006.09.26 01:10:00 - [40] Can we expect a client patch for TQ before Kali hits either Sisi or TQ?
zibelthurdos	Posted - 2006.09.26 02:43:00 - [41] Originally by: Coahim Madden That skill bug Mephysto is talking about, is that the same as the one where you have two skills training at the same time? Which clears itself at DT. no, actually it's worse. you complete a skill, get an evemail notifying you of skill completion and the then the skill reverts to an incomplete state. so far I have only lost 20 minutes to this bug.
Wen Jaibao adeptus gattacus Lotka Volterra	Posted - 2006.09.26 03:08:00 - [42] Very nice! Love the new map Sig fixed by Benco97
Tahreem Minmatar Rather Odd Industrial Dynasty	Posted - 2006.09.26 03:51:00 - [43] looks good but someone enlighten me about the gas clouds they only in those cosmos constelltions or possibility they will be found in plain 0.0 aswell ? ------- Ceo of Rather odd industrial dynasty, We build the things rather odd
Pattern Clarc The Priory	Posted - 2006.09.26 03:53:00 - [44] This will certainly be the biggest patch I would have ever witnessed. with all the new fangaled improves and gi fixes, it'll be nice, but really.... I just want my new ships!!!
Idara Caldari Cutting Edge Incorporated RAZOR Alliance	Posted - 2006.09.26 04:04:00 - [45] Originally by: Pattern Clarc I just want my new ships!!! Tier 2 BCs! On SiSi! NOW!
Darksaber64x Ecchi co.	Posted - 2006.09.26 04:47:00 - [46] Originally by: Altaree Does this happen to anyone else: As soon as I see and Eve screen shot I start trying to rotate or zoom the image with the mouse. I WANT 3-D SCREEN SHOTS!!! :) Happens all the time with screenshots and even eve movies I watch >_< That seemless map will be pretty nice. I'd assume that after you change to constillation view the systems background will fade. This will be SO much better than having to open that god-forsaken map, which takes like 30 seconds to load, then you find yourself, zoom in, and can't tell what the heck is what with all the dots.

Philip Sterling GALAXIAN Rule of Three	Posted - 2006.09.26 05:03:00 - [48] Originally by: Mephysto Incidentaly, in the top left corner of screenshot 3 is a cloud of stars. Those are the actual TQ galaxy omg i love you guys so is it a seamless zoom from looking at your ship to looking at an entire region, or will the map mode still just come up when you hit the button? would really make my day to be able to go from looking at the entire eve galaxy to seeing my new tier 3 BS up close in one seamless zoom.
Zarta Blastaphart Gallente Agony Unleashed	Posted - 2006.09.26 05:41:00 - [49] Edited by: Zarta Blastaphart on 26/09/2006 05:42:40 The one "problem" with testing anything on the test server is that it is always out of date skill-wise. I don't see how anyone can be expected to "test" and report bugs if their character is weeks, or in some cases months old. Regards Zarta
Hllaxiu Shiva Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2006.09.26 05:53:00 - [50] Originally by: Zarta Blastaphart Edited by: Zarta Blastaphart on 26/09/2006 05:42:40 The one "problem" with testing anything on the test server is that it is always out of date skill-wise.

Vaslav Tchitcherine Jericho Fraction	Posted - 2006.09.26 06:48:00 - [51] Originally by: Hllaxiu You weren't playing the game months ago? It's a significant handicap to training specifically to test certain things. E.g., if I want to test the new BCs, but I don't fly BCs so I only have the skill to level 1, I don't have the option of training for that purpose. As a result, CCP loses potential testers. Of course, you can train skills on Sisi, but people never seem to think of that. Still, they would be wise to do a new mirror immediately before putting Kali on Sisi. v. jf
lil'devil	Posted - 2006.09.26 06:54:00 - [52] Please no more 10/10 complexes. It only benefits a small number of exploiters and farmers and does nothing but aggrevate the remaining 99.9% of the eve population. Seriously Devs, just take a look at the existing plexes, go and have a look, you will see the same people, 3 times a day (well or every 45mins ) farming the plex forever. FYI some of these complex farmers are paying real $$$ to alliances to keep farming undisturbed.
Kanuo Ashkeron Eve Defence Force Ascendant Frontier	Posted - 2006.09.26 07:25:00 - [53] I have a suggestion for the map: Can you make the ship position a little bit more salient? It took me a few seconds every time to find it. Thx, Kanuo
Reiisha Frontier Technologies	Posted - 2006.09.26 07:31:00 - [54] I hope the devs realize they have to integrate the background as actual objects at some point in time - as it stands now i think the seamless map will actually make size less immersize than it already is due to the static background textures.

Alex Harumichi Gallente Gradient Namtz'aar k'in	Posted - 2006.09.26 07:59:00 - [55] new map = good yet more licenses to print money for the big alliances = bad Get rid of the static complexes, make them all random and transitory. Wasn't this in the plans, at one point? The recent mess with the RA/RAT apparently exploiting 8/10 complexes for trillions of isk should underscore how much of a bad, bad idea static high-end complexes are.
Wild Rho Amarr PIE Inc.	Posted - 2006.09.26 08:09:00 - [56] Gotta agree with the thoughts on static complexes. Alliances won't fight over them, all they will do is find the nearest one and litterally farm it and it's not like alliances need yet another cash cow to milk right now. I have the body of a supermodel. I just can't remember where I left it.
Ruffio Sepico Minmatar Hidden Agenda	Posted - 2006.09.26 08:12:00 - [57] Originally by: Alex Harumichi new map = good yet more licenses to print money for the big alliances = bad Get rid of the static complexes, make them all random and transitory.

The recent mess with the RA/RAT apparently exploiting 8/10 complexes for trillions of isk should underscore how much of a bad, bad idea static high-end complexes are. If these complex's is as most of the rest of the Cosmos complex's, the items dropped inside them is mostly used to complete cosmos missions. These missions you can only do once. So only farming purpose would be to make as many members of your corp/alliance be able to complete the missions. Which would make it a novelity value and so fade for most part I would think.

El Covah No Quarter. Axiom Empire	Posted - 2006.09.26 08:14:00 - [58] All sounds to me if this patch is just introducing more PvE stuff to the game :( More plexes, more farmers, ... CCP, please rethink the plexes first before introducing even more of them !
Hugh Ruka Caldari	Posted - 2006.09.26 08:55:00 - [59] Edited by: Hugh Ruka on 26/09/2006 09:03:30 Am I the only one here NOT excited over the blog ? the current map is nice, it just needs some UI changes to work as it should. I hope the new one will at least have a bit of the actual functionality. new complexes ? well have been only in a few. actualy they are very badly spaced in the galay I think. gas coulds ? I think I'll be turning into a miner as combat becomes more and more unpredictable. Originally by: JP Beauregard The experience with Exodus playtesting has scarred me for life. Those were bug-reports, not feature requests, you numbskulls....
Joshua Foiritain Gallente Coreli Corporation	Posted - 2006.09.26 08:59:00 - [60] Originally by: Tahreem looks good but someone enlighten me about the gas clouds they only in those cosmos constelltions or possibility they will be found in plain 0.0 aswell ? I would hope so, theres quite a few parts of 0.0 that dont have good ores or good rats, putting some clouds there could make them quite interesting. ----- [Coreli Corporation Mainframe]
