If you think the Patch Notes are long, imagine being on the team that had to write them!

What am I missing?

Guess this one has already been said/answered somewhere, but:

Changes to user settings, capture and logs :

* In Windows XP & Windows 2000: User Settings :
C:\Documents and Settings\%user%\Local Settings\Application Data\CCP\EVE

I assume that this is just mentioned as the standard case in the patch-notes and that EVE actually uses the path that is set in the system environment without any trouble.

"Jump Bridges allow instant travel between starbases. They must be paired to another bridge within 5 AU" ... I sure hope you meant 5 LY, what's the point of these if they can only link to the next planet over?

---

lol, that's a typo. The value on the test server is 5 LY.

Has anything been done to ensure that data from the test server doesn't overwrite data from the real server?

Just a bit of a bugbear of mine...

"In Windows XP & Windows 2000:
User Settings :
C:\Documents and Settings\%user%\Local Settings\Application Data\CCP\EVE
Capture and logs:
C:\Documents and Settings\%user%\My Documents\EVE"

These are wrong, purly because the user name does not always match the profile path of that user.

The thing CCP should do is remove the Quality factor of agents, and just replace that with your standing towards the agent in LP/reward calculations. That way you could use any agent of the level you want, and people could spread out when your agent system was lagged....

* Sovereignty Level 1 (Territory) is achieved by the alliance having more towers (that have been online and claiming sovereignty) for seven days, than any other alliance in the same system
* Sovereignty Level 2 (Protectorate) is reached by maintaining Sovereignty 1 for 14 consecutive days
* Sovereignty Level 3 (Province) is reached by maintaining Sovereignty 2 for a further 14 days. Outposts in systems with Sovereignty 3 can be set as Constellation Capital
* Sovereignty Level 4 (Constellation Capital) is achieved by both having Constellation Sovereignty in the same constellation and holding an outpost with the Constellation Capital option checked for thirty days.
* Constellation Sovereignty is achieved when the following conditions are met for fourteen consecutive days:
o Sovereignty 1 or higher in over half the systems in the constellation
o Three outposts or conquerable stations held within the same constellation
o One outpost has Constellation Capital set
* Starbases in systems with Sovereignty 4 cannot be targeted
* If one or more of the conditions for Constellation Sovereignty is subsequently lost, the constellation becomes Contested for 14 days. If at the end of this period the conditions are met again, Constellation Sovereignty is maintained. If they are not met, Constellation Sovereignty is lost.

Has the timer started already or does it start the day of the patch?

If you are running multiple clients then please follow the advice in the patch notes and use the "/end /LUA:OFF" switches. Note that then you need to run the EVE client with administrative privileges. There is also interesting advice here on how to maintain a setup for multiple accounts and multiple servers.

---

Personally I find these "work arounds" unacceptable. Specially since I can't use them as I use EVE Launcher. And no switching to EVEMon's window moving or similar is not an option as it does not support placing different copies of the client on different screens.

Is it missed or patchnotes said wrong things?

In any case, Devs, have you planned for the exploits associated with shared rewards for grinding in groups? These usually involve high levels power-leveling lower levels by grouping with them and running missions. The low levels stay out of the fight and still receive mission rewards.

Speaking of instanced content, it looks like we are getting our first truly instanced content in EVE in this patch:

Quote:

---

Players start in their own protected dungeon out of harmÆs way
Tutorial dungeon can be accessed again within 30 days of account creation.
The dungeon can only be started in rookie systems

---

There are a lot of casual players who love instanced content, such as dungeons and battlegrounds. I'm guessing that a lot of new players will request more instances.

These requests and suggestions tend to start discussions about risk vs reward. Industrial toons that never undock from the station and specialize in market trading make tons of isks and are exposed to zero PVP combat risk and don't seem to ruin the game. Having made this point, I am sure that CCP designers could figure out how to put in even more instanced content, to keep the casual people happy, without ruining the game.

for the changed paths: i have two clients running on the same machine. will this work with the new setting or are the two clients overwriting each others files? or is there/will there be an command line option to set a specific path? for example store setting for client 1 in c:\eve\1 and for client 2 in c:\eve\2 (not the game-dirs)... would be much easier to put that stuff on a ramdrive as well if would be able to do that

Game capture, log and cache folders have moved from "C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE"

Arr, f**k it! I just hate that stupid game design when one single game installed in one single folder sprawls all over folder tree. Just what the f**k - game is there, saves here, settings someplace else... did noone see how stupid and disgusting it is? When I said to installer "Well OK, I want to have it at C:/Games/EVE", for example, it means that I want whole game, including each and every relevant file to be located in that damn C:/Games/EVE! Why did a program permits itself to deliberately occupy folders I didn't allowed it to?
What about just keeping stuff in C:/EVE/capture, C:/EVE/logs etc? Isn't it logical and obvious enough?

Originally by: Windle Poons

Oh, and you shouldn't move people files without asking. I'd also suggest that my docs is a crappy place for logs seeing as it is often redirected to a network share. Local settings is also a crappy place for the cache as its not copied with roaming profiles.

Only question I have is, will I still be able to run multiple accounts off one installation of Eve without changing anything?
