Hi all,
We are planning a mass test on Singularity on Thursday, July 16th @ 17:00 EVE time.
What exactly is being tested?
We have just revamped a significant number of stretch effects used by utility modules as well as introduced a new audio backend for Turret audio.
How to connect to Singularity for this test:
Read the Instructions at http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Singularity and read general instructions about mass tests at http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Mass_testing.
Join the in-game channel "MassTesting"
Test steps:
- Jump to X-BV98
- Align to POS beacon
- Warp to POS beacon
- Shoot the control tower
- Use ewar/remote mods
- Align to Poitot gate
- Fleet 1: Jump to Poitot and setup gate camp
- Fleet 2: Jump to Poitot + fight at the gate
- Doomsdays
What else should I know?
We will be moving players to the test system - join the channel massmoveme
2M Skill points will be awarded on Singularity for this mass test
Bring many different ships and ideally titans if you can.
Fit a selection of utility modules, anything from the following categories: Cargo Scanners, Neuts, Nos, Cap Transfers, Salvagers, Tractor Beams, Remote Armor/Shield Reps, ECM, Remote Sensor Boosters, Ship Scanners, Survey Scanners, Target Painters, Remote Tracking Computers, Warp Scramblers
Cynos will be provided

That would have been my first guess, but I wanted to be sure. Will the new effects be less graphics intensive for us with older machines?

From the numbers I've seen there are only a couple of effects from our revamped set that have an increase in milliseconds/frame and those are quite minute, so you shouldn't be able to discern any performance degradation from these effects.
I know that aspects of Doomsdays have always been a performance hit (see Gjallarhorn/Oblivion impacts) but we're making every effort to improve on those.

Will you release gifs of the new stretch effect or something of the sort? |

I was actually thinking of making a comparison chart showing old and new as I was walking in to work this morning!

Just to confirm,
does this include graphical improvements, akin to the ship Explosions showcased during fanfest?
And whilst on the topic, when are the new explosions/propmod effects coming? |

How long will the test be running?
When was the last sync between Singularity and Tranquility? My account is only a few months old,; as of a few days ago, it doesn't seem to exist on Singularity yet.

Given the current server issues, is this test going to be delayed?

Hi folks, to give you an update on things:
Yesterday's disastrophe will have no impact on today's mass test.
The test will run for roughly 40-60mins (historically closer to 40).
I wouldn't say that the new effects are as drastically different as the new explosions we showed at fanfest (and I cannot provide a timescale for when you'll see those particular effects).
Hope to see you there!

Is this severe graphical bug what's caused this bit of weirdness: When I log in to Sisi, the middle bits of the screen that should have, you know, space has the background image from character selection stuck there instead.
This is with a fresh sisi install after copying my TQ setuo, which works as normal. |

That's the one. Fix should be in soon.

Any chance there will be a mass test in the US tz ever?
Because despite having the highest login numbers in the US. Many players here have been excluded from being able to participate, due to the fact that all mass tests occur in the middle of our work day.
I'm sure the us tz could populate a mass test. |

I live in Australia and have found that such tests are on the most obscure times for myself, any time from 1am to 3am in the morning for me here in Adelaide. |

Given Iceland lies within the GMT Zone, and a Masstest is indeed a casual Workday for CCP, they would need to either work over hours or late/early in the morning to actually run a Masstest on a major US Timezone. |
