We are planning a mass test on Duality on Thursday, October 10th, at 17:00 UTC (= EVE time)!
What exactly is being tested?
Shareable bookmarks
– Server performance of shared bookmark folders
– Client performance of shared bookmark updates
– General client performance for bookmarks (probably mostly the same as the existing system)
How to connect to Duality for this test:
Change the server from Tranquility to Duality in the bottom right corner of the launcher and log in as normal.
We don’t have a current schedule for this but Duality will be open after the masstest, and will probably stay open for at least a short while until we move the Bookmark feature to Singularity.
Maybe it’s just a matter of changing the way we do it. But im interested in see if it’s still possible to create a scaveger/puzzle hunt with the new shared BMs. I am starting testing now on duality but if anyone has any ideas please share!
Ok, so, one thing I’ve noticed with personal bookmarks. If it’s set to never expire, you cannot change it to an expiration time. That would be nice. Same goes for shared bookmarks.
Maybe it would be good to make expiration a folder wide option as well.
There should also be 2 Inactive Folders folders. One for personal bookmark folders and one for shared folders. Same problem as above: differentiating between folder types should be easier.
Thank you for participating in this test! I am still analyzing the performance numbers, but they seems to be very helpful on the first glance. Also thanks to all the feedback, and several topics of it are already being added to our task list (mostly for how to improve the user experience like the separation between personal and shared folders).
2 million skill points have been added to the participating characters on Singularity.
Could you also consider the possibility of assigning a few different colors to the bookmark icon instead of just black and white?
Even only 2-3 colors to choose from would big a huge help to differenciate them quickly in some crowded system maps.
I am curious as to the status of bookmarks being “converted into “physical” items that can be traded with other players”. Will that feature not be available in the final version? Curious since I use BM to help lost pilots out of WH. I assume this would also negate selling BM on the market. Thank you for your time.
