Does this mean the PvP is back or is that next patch?
Yah, I tried it, it uses a ton of bandwidth, using it on a mobile data plan would be brutal.
Also performance was atrocious with one character loaded.
What about funcionality? Finger steering? UI scaling?
This can replace desktop client soon hopefully
Not likely, far to much of the world does not have access to 25 mbits internet. I live in the USA, and 15 mbits is the absolute best speed you can get in my area and it costs 60 USD a month. The desktop client isnāt going anywhere soon.

Well CCP is not catering to third world countries so I would gather those in US can just move to first world instead.

Thereās a new power coming. I hope your kids and grandchildren enjoy it.
As long as Orca Tax is not increased.
Its anything like Geforce Now it will be amazing. Im just curious how multi boxing will work since it will technically require another slice Iād assume.
Oh crap, Iām sorry, I didnāt get it working on my tablets or a friendās phone, no button to poke.
I did get it going on my laptop and it was flat out hideous.
It has the usual tiny fonts but worse, they were even smaller and kept going blurry, most things were un-readable most of the time. I got constant network warnings and in the short time I was connected used a lot of bandwidth (meaning actual data downloaded, Iām not sure how much, maybe five hundred or so megabytes give or take). I was only on for long enough to get a look, spin my ship in the hanger a few times, and then undock. Undocking was a bad idea, the network flipped out at that point and after a quick look around I had to try to restock, this was very hard to do and I couldnāt read my overview and the UI didnāt want to respond. I eventually did dock and promptly logged off.
To me the only real target market for this would be things like tablets, and in most cases these days they use mobile data plans which would be consumed in no time flat. As near as I could tell everything is streamed so you are constantly sending and receiving a hell of a lot of data especially while in space.
Personally there is no way in hell I would use this, I donāt like cloud computing, and streaming a game like Eve is asking for millions of new problems that no one needs. Having lag in the client can mean the loss of a ship, this is nothing but lag and while I didnāt disconnect (I was surprised by this) it was very hard to do anything.
Itās like watching a YouTube video that wants to buffer all the time.
It also brought up some questions like how bad would it be if you had it going in more than one tab in your browser?
I donāt see this being the āFuture of Eveā if it is I wonāt be using it, my network wonāt take it and I wonāt subject the other people on it to my use of bad technology and streaming something like Eve is very bad technology, itās pointless overhead in every way.
I realize this is beta at best, but to me, as it stands now, itās not something I would use. Itās like when everyone on a network wants to watch Netflix all day and everyone bitches about everyone else watching Netflix.

Iām very pleased with GFN and Stadia on my Chromebook so I have hopes.
And for Chromebooks, at least you could possibly do one incognito window and have a second client. For Win/Mac setting up multiple Chrome profiles would solve that, and technically each profile could also have one incognito for another client. Maybe that could be a way.
If only we could get some access to play around with! haha

Incase people are reading this and unware ā Eve is currently supported on Geforce Now cloud gaming service.
So, I was skeptical about this, but at my workplace, we have about 7 literal toasters. EvEA even on garbo hardware ran fantastically. Now I can play EvE when I should be working. GG productivity, GG CCP!

Sure, but given EVE Anywhere will require a separate payment in order to use it, its already only really aimed at the 1st world
That is ok. USA is just third world country.
Is there a support thread or something for this?
Iām testing this on my M1 iPad with a Logitech folio keyboard/trackpad. Performance is great, but in Firefox all the colors were inverted and it wasnāt available in Chrome at all.
Iāve been playing on Safari, but it has giant white bars at the top and bottom of the screen. If I could find somewhere to turn those bars black I think this would work perfectly for me!
Is the beta over with? I am unable to see it on my account
