Hello spacefriends,
While investigating faction warfare awoxing, we discovered a defect which meant some characters and corporations who had enlisted with pirate factions for Insurgency gameplay and whose standings to their chosen faction had fallen below -2.0 were not being removed from their factions as intended.
We are planning to deploy a fix for this early next week. Characters and Corporations below this threshold will receive a 24 hour warning via EVEmail after the fix is deployed and then removed if the standings shortfall has not been rectified by the following downtime.
Here’s a more dot pointy way of saying all that:
- This only affects some characters and corporations enlisted with pirate faction warfare for Guristas or Angel Cartel. Empire militias are not affected.
- There are currently some characters and corporations enlisted with Guristas and Angel Cartel whose standing has fallen below the -2.0 minimum requirement but have not been kicked as per game rules.
- On Tuesday, July 1 we will deploy a patch which means those characters and corporations will now have their standings correctly recognized by the game.
- Characters and corporations whose standing is too low to remain enlisted in their pirate faction will receive an EVEmail notifying them they have 24 hours to gain sufficient standings with their chosen faction.
- If the characters/corporations do not fix their standings they will be kicked from their pirate militia at downtime on Wednesday, July 2.
If you are participating in Insurgencies for either the Guristas or Angel Cartel please take a moment to check if your Faction standing to your chosen faction is above -2.0. If not you can now get a head start on improving them before the defect is patched on Tuesday.
