Yes, the first portion is anyway. Obviously there will be more to come. we’ve got 4 gates… with a potential controlling gate. obviously they go somewhere… which will probably be something that happens when the next expansion drops.

This billboard is from Triglavian last phase (Pochven forming).

Where are the gates located? I’ve gone to one of those systems and I can’t find one.

Nope, that’s been around, not sure if it’s Outer Ring or Cloud Ring

The cloud ring? No that’s been around forever. If you travel around the systems there you can find your way into the centre. It doesn’t do anything, it’s just cool.

Has anybody tried using entosis links on those gates?

CCP should not rely on events to drive player retenttion. They end quickly, and are not interesting to 90% of the player base imo.

I now know it can’t be targeted so no.
Also has anybody had issue with the gates not decloaking? Very strange, I was next to other pilot who saw it and I couldn’t at the same time

I really liked the promo video for the event. “The Invitation”.
The opening scene with the Blackbird docking really puts the size of ships into perspective, something often lost I think in the game.

Just keep Amazon away from it… and Disney+… oh and Netflix. Matter of fact, keep Hollywood away from it. Independent producers only.

Good thinking, you wouldn’t want anyone with an actual budget or special effects team.

As if only Hollywood has budget and fx teams.
Would be kind of hard to come up with a scenario or actors as both are on strike right now.
But if you want them to spend a billion dollars on a flop, that’s okay by me. At least I could always laugh at it. We do need good comedies.

Their budget and sfx aren’t the issue, it’s their shitty writing. There’s only been a handful of movies in the past 10-15 years that have been worth anything. The writers strike can go on forever for all I care, they suck at their jobs.

I agree. I only have time to play on the weekends. The beginning of this event was way too brief.

It’s a narrative event to drives the story forward. It’s not really something that’s meant for players to milk dry the way most games do lore stuff.
The fact that we got a special trailer for it was a bit weird, but it does seem like they’re trying to some new things with their narrative driven content.

In my opinion this event was poorly thought out and badly implemented, especially since it was completed within a few days. Not to mention no Log-in rewards either. Hell, CCP obviously spent more time and resources to make that trailer than to code this event.
And with this being Eve Online 20th Anniversary year, I would think they’d go all out on in-game events. Unfortunately, everything that’s been implemented so far this year has been low quality and sub-par compared to all other past events.
My faith and hope in Eve’s future is definitely low…
Anyway, post #100… \o/

I don’t want to point fingers at anybody …but looking closely (code-wise) at what has been added in the patch, can give a tremendous head start in such hunt for data fragments. If one knows exactly what to look for and how many pieces, you can stop looking for more immediately and go to the number crunching phase.
I think the information regarding version diffs shouldn’t be freely available and datamining EVE client files should be made impossible 
I bet without this low-level input the event would take longer to complete. How could you otherwise tell upstart there is 30 jove navigators to collect and 38 deathless circle corrupted data files to match to piece this all together in four days?
Edit:
An example of what can you get looking at the version diffs without even starting the game client:
Description: Encoded with identifiers of the elusive “Deathless Circle”, this fragmentary data has been recovered from a pirate commander’s ship communications storage buffer, a device typically used to hold data relayed to and from a spaceship and remote locations via secured fluid router networks. Valuable data provided by the network of smugglers, mercenaries and criminals set up by “The Deathless” has been rumored to be spreading through the Angel Cartel and Guristas Pirates organizations in the months since the Turnur Incident.
So you now know what to hunt for (pirate commanders ship) and where (Angel Cartel and Guristas Pirates organizations, and possibly Turnur system - one gate is exactly there)
You can even read instruction (sort of) of what to do with it when you get it:
This standardized data storage device is heavily corrupted but some fragmentary data remains accessible.
With just the right approach it may be possible to decode what remains and access a coherent data stream. It wouldn’t hurt to give it a try and see if something clicks.
I wonder why CSM is not making any fuss abut it
