Hi! We are planning a mass test for the Citadels sandbox on Duality on Tuesday, January 26th, at 17:00 UTC (= EVE time)!
What exactly is being tested? Core functionality, involving a fleet fight and maybe a trip to a partially functional Citadel.
IMPORTANT: The Citadel is still in development, this is not a final and fully feature complete Citadel. Functionality, numbers, art, all these things are still in development and may change before release, this is a sneak preview of what is coming, not the 100% final product.
How to connect to Duality for this test:
Read the Instructions at http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Duality and read general instructions about mass tests at http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Mass_testing. Join the in-game channel "MassTesting"
Test steps (subject to change):
- Be docked in one of the stations in FD-MLJ
- Undock and align to X-BV98 gate
- Jump to X-BV98
- Fleet X: Align and jump to Poitot setup gate camp
- Fleet W: Jump in to Poitot
- Commence fleet fight
- Warp to Citadel beacon in Poitot
What else should I know?
Use the command /moveme to be moved to the start system FD-MLJ Bring many different ships, but preferably fleet ships. 2M Skill points will be awarded on Singularity for this mass test
Thanks,
P.S Duality is currently in VIP mode and will be opened in time for the mass test, watch this thread for an update on when VIP is lifted.

That is why we have it in VIP at the moment, there will be a mirror applied in time.

After a mirror occurs on Singularity, you usually get the SP from the previous 5 mass tests if you took part. CCP Habakuk could confirm that though.

Also can we update skills on duality? I think the copyskills command works on Duality. If not I am afraid we won't have time to get it sorted for tonight, but I will get it sorted for the future if need be.

We are busy trying to get Duality setup, as soon as I can log in, I will be able to see what we need to do.

So you will only get the skills from TQ and not like on Solace all of them? Correct. Unless we require it, we rarely give players all skills and supers/titans as it really clouds our testing.

Not to be a thorn in your side, but to clarify for myself and everyone else. Fleet fight will be before testing the Citadels features? Will we be reshipping or the fight timed in any way if this is the case?
Valid concerns. The fleet fight will take place before visiting the Citadel. People will be able to reship and come back to system. There are no official tests once we get to the Citadel, so people can come in any ship they want, even a pod.

We have run into some issues with Duality.
Mass test is still planned to go ahead, but it will be quite an old mirror and at this point there is not much we can do about it.
This means some accounts will not be working and we will not have time to get them working.
My sincerest apologies if you are unable to attend because of this.

Don't have much time today, but rly hyped for citadels :) No, not today, after the masstest we will remove the Citadel. However depending on how the test goes this lets the team discuss when we can open it up for public testing and feedback.

Unfortunately we could not get the new mirror in place in time. Please post in this forum thread, if you need an activation - but unfortunately we cannot help those with accounts created after August and those with changed password.

Folks we are really sorry about the old mirror and if you can't access it.
Sadly these things happen from time to time, we tried everything we could to get the mirror and Duality ready but issues arose that stopped us from being able to get this ready in time.

Sorry folks, turns out it was one of those days where everything decides to go wrong.
We will reschedule this mass test for another day, hopefully with more success.
We are going to try and get participants the 2million SP.
Also, if you were lucky enough to see the citadel, we hope you liked it. To those that did not, we will try and get something organized as they are super cool.
Again, apologies, sadly it is just one of those things that happen from time to time.

Hi,
Apologies also from my behalf regarding the problems on Duality today - which were all over the place and partially related to each other. We were planning to switch to a new mirror, but this was being delayed until the last minute and then we had to fallback to the old mirror - and then we also had problems with our login server for Duality. Duality was not optimally prepared for the mass test (wrong mapping of systems and time dilation disabled), which led to (or at least exacerbated) massive performance problems. In between we had also a bunch of various bugs, which we are now trying to isolate. This was really a day where nearly everything broke, which could break.
Anyway: I saved participation data for the mass test (for all who managed to login to Duality) and skill points will be applied within the next few days (but probably after mirrors happened and so on...).
