Bad news first

SP ISK items and Stats are getting reset because....

Good News

We're moving onto Singualrity Hardware/Node

So for you not so up to date on eve, may be sitting there thinking what is 'singularity'?

Singularity is test sever and is the only other server running a copy of eve thats normally open to the paying public.

While not on the same hardware as 'Tranquility' eve online's live and only server, Singularity USED to be that hardware.

This is also where developers allow the paying public to test things before they copy them over to Tranquility.

So what does this mean for you as a merc?

1 The possibilty of orbital bombardment.

2 NDA lifting? (unlikely)

3 Talking to real eve players and even having voice chats with them as they test with us.

4 Improved item recollection performance so long lists of dropsuit fittings and market will go much more faster.

5 Possible interation of FW

6 Will be the last hardware move until launch.

Then another peice of Bad News.

Singularity is notorious for being offline at times when developers are playing with bulldozers in the sandbox.

So... no word of making this into a decent FPS?

Pokey Dravon OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 583	Posted - 2012.08.03 23:43:00 - [4] - Quote This could also mean an expansion of the current market system to allow for transfer of assets and ISK between players, more in line with the EVE Market system.

Any solid news of when this update is happening? I've heard from various people net week but but nothing concrete.
Shadoe Wolf Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 80	Posted - 2012.08.03 23:50:00 - [6] - Quote eve gets updated on the 8th. possibly the same time. but that might be too much for devs, so it may happen before that.

Nothing offical and devs are going home for the weekend so unless somone who is IRC chatting up with developers and they spill the beans we wont find out but Im sure well find out by tuesday next week if its going to be next week or not.

Reset could mean a lot of things. Reset being a SP/skills wipe while keeping our character intact. Reset being a skills wipe, but being refunded SP like our Aurum is. I'm fine either way, just curious.

So they basically want us to start over SP wise, which I can see the use of.

Also since 'fits' are technically items they're likely to be deleted as well. However HOPEFULLY the next build will have lots and lots of goodies. Like electronic warfare. So basically you start over with your name, the aurum you got so far, the merc pack if you bought it and all the award suits from previous events if you partipicated and possibly if we are lucky all the awarded SP and isk again.

Tranquility for sure qualifies as a genuine supercomputer. And because I'm feeling like a useless slug this fine Saturday morning(and DUST is calling), does anybody have a linkie to the current server config?

That's impossible. CCP doesn't know how to make a shooter game, they're an MMO designer, and if we try to guide them in the right direction their MMO fanbase (who mostly also know practically nothing about shooters) argue and keep the game bad.
Fivetimes Infinity Immobile Infantry 1086	Posted - 2012.08.04 18:10:00 - [27] - Quote Why would they bother putting in all that EVE-Dust integration when Dust players interacting with the EVE world in any meaningful way isn't expected until sometime next year? There doesn't seem to be much impetus for cross-game chatting and stuff when the nullsec content is going to be added post-release. MUDMASTEI2 wrote: That's impossible.

You really figure that when they decided to make an FPS game they didn't decide to, say, hire any people with experience making FPS games? That they're just taking a stab at this from the perspective of people who've only ever made EVE?
