More information on the status of the August Release will be available this Friday with new deployment information.
We apologise for the delay in deploying this release, however we feel that additional testing is needed to ensure that Tranquility is patched without issue and the release is deployed smoothly.
If you’d like to discuss this announcement, please do so in this forum thread.
Rather delayed than be dysfunctional, most probably it will have its flaws either way so better minimize that by further testing than release right away.
Obviously. None of the long standing chat issues have been fixed. And by the looks of it CCP even turns the Agency into an even bigger clickfest (judging by the patchnotes that are now hidden, which said you need to click to get your rewards. Whatever that means in practice).
And I wonder whether the filter fix for pilots docked in structures only works in the new map of if the actually useful and used existing map gets that fix as well. A good change, but knowing CCP they will only make it available for the new map to force more people into this other trainwreck.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. I’m glad the abundance of caution. I look forward to the new event and hope to see more things go exploding
Will you enable it again during the event next week, in order to not mess with the sandbox even more? Having an player-interaction free farmable event, is very un-eve, you know…
I’m very happy with all the hard work that CCP and its employees are putting towards making Eve Online better each week and each month. Large numbers of currently active Eve pilots are now making full use of the availability of Eve to be played completely free without any pilot ever being forced to pay real money towards the real costs associated with providing and constantly upgrading our favorite game.
It seems to me that CCP is likely to be under real world financial restraints in the amount of employees that it can assign to Eve quality control or to Eve marketing or to other things needed like hardware purchases. Can CCP continue to provide the very best space fantasy experience available anywhere on the internet if more and more of its customers play Eve on a regular basis without ever paying any real world money to CCP? Ever?
If real world financial realities now affecting all online video games cause fewer and fewer CCP employees to be used to do more and more for pilots like me, then I want to make darn sure that every single one of these hard working people know that I am very grateful to each one of them personally (and also to CCP as a group) for allowing me to play this incredible game at all. Thank you so much! And may your wisdom direct you in knowing the correct path to take; the path that allows Eve Online to thrive and grow and continue to amaze everyone for years and years to come. Thank you
