    AAR: Extra Life Charity Stream

    Posted: 04 Nov 2019 06:54 AM PST

    Hey Everyone!

     

    A couple of days ago I posted about my charity stream for Extra Life. I figured I would share some details from the stream.

     

    Before I do that, however, I want to say THANK YOU to the EVE Community. This was my 5th year doing this and I'm blown away by the turnout. At the close of the stream, we had raised $3801 USD. I may do a shorter stream in the near future to try and get that to 4K since the fundraising is open until the end of the year, but the result is incredible. A huge thank you to my alliance, United Federation of Conifers. From give away donations of skins, plex, and more to real world donations to just hanging out with me on stream. While the stream couldn't hear our comms, I had voices in my ear the entire time keeping me awake and entertained and that meant so much. One member of our alliance, EMF Coldwarrior, even matched donations for 2 hours. In that period of time, $500 was donated, so he tossed in another $500. An anonymous donor also added a $500 donation, which was huge. That said, I appreciate every single donation regardless of the value. I also appreciate everyone on stream who chatted with me and watched while we did non-stop stupid shit. According to Streamlabs total on stream donations were $3184.80 from 61 donations. We had an average of 108 viewers with an average viewing time of 13h 13m 24s and 429 chatters generated 6.4K chat messages (although most of those were likely '!raffle'). Thank you once again to the entire community!

     

    Let's talk a bit about the stream. For the first couple of hours, I flew around "solo". I used Slicers, Hookbills, and ScyFis and had a couple of corpmates that joined in. At the same time, my alliance was blopsing with Lokis and go a few nice kills, including an Orca, Niddy, and Naglfar, although we did lose a pair of dreads. Afterward, we took a Drake fleet to DEADCO staging, where we were met with Feroxes and T2 logi. Given that we were in their staging where they could instantly reship logi, it was a lost cause, but we managed to JUST squeak out an ISK victory after welping our entire fleet.

     

    Up next, we took a fleet of combat ceptors, specifically a 600 DPS (heated) glass canon Taranis fleet. We got a few kills in Insmother but welped nearly a billion ISK in ceptors. While we were flying those, we noticed an anchoring Fortizar and Azbel, so we reformed in Jita into Dreks and Guardians and burned back to Scalding Pass, where we killed both structures and a small Ferox fleet. We came back to Pure Blind via a wormhole and on our way to the wormhole, we got a notification that INIT was bashing one of our Athanors. I called them out in local for bashing our Athanor while we were on a charity stream and they apologized and said they'd look elsewhere for content. Since we were walking back near them, they asked for a brawl and we agreed. We met them in G95 and brawled Dreks vs Nightmares. We agreed not to headshot and the brawl was quite a bit of fun. I feel bad that we killed the FCs Loki alt, but we didn't know it was the same person. Shout Out to INIT for the great brawl and for pinging my stream multiple times.

     

    Up next was our Freighter escort. We've done this the past few years and always survived until my own fleet killed me, so this year we set a lofty goal... 1DQ as our destination. I got a lot of questions about this, but it's a .UFC. tradition at this point. I had people questioning it on stream and tons of discord messages asking what we were doing. Basically, we take a freighter filled with whatever and escort it with whatever somebody wants to fly. This year, I officer fit the freighter and we put PLEX and other goodies in it because of 100% loot drop. In the end, we fed about 30B, but we had tons of fun doing it. I appreciate that INIT and Goons brought a reasonable subcap fleet instead of something ridiculous and didn't drop caps until the end. I'm a little disappointed that they wouldn't DD my freighter as requested, but I was impressed with EMF Coldwarrior who tanked three doomsdays in his Apostle, finally dying to the fourth.

     

    The next part of the stream was our Marauder roam... because when you're putting as much ISK as possible into a stream, why not roam Marauders. We had passed through Horde space with the Dreks, burning to those structures and they had asked for a fight, so we told them we'd be back. We figured, we'd return to them with the Marauder roam. They formed ~60 battleships including Leshaks, Bhaals, and Vindis for our 7 Marauders. We decided to run because that was a ridiculous form, but they caught one of us and nuked it. We docked up and said no thanks, we weren't fighting that. They apologized, thinking they wouldn't get many dudes and that so many showed up because they were content starved. I think that form may demonstrate why they are content starved, but they were good sports and reformed T1 cruisers and BCs. We had a fun brawl and were completely ready to let them kill us when TISHU showed up with a Ragnarok. That was time for both sides to bail, we lost another Marauder in the evac, but it was tons of fun until then.

     

    Up next, we burned down to a small cache of 5 dreads that I had in Aridia (our only dread cache) and handed them out. We had two cyno Falcons and two Sabres pair up and go hunting. One of them called 4 Rorquals on grid. Since we had to jump the dreads into INIT sov on stream and we had three people combat probing us as we warped from safe to safe, we decided to go for it. The cyno went up, we dropped and we started hitting rorquals. We put three of them into structure and all 4 activated PANIC (the most broken aspect of the game). We waited them out with a cyno inhib dropped by one of our Falcons (I forgot I'd put them in but thankfully our Falcon pilots checked their cargo). I had spare sabres in my fleet hangar and one of our sabre pilots brilliantly decided to bubble the INIT cyno that was lit. We killed the two Rorquals and they finally got ships on top of us. We slowly lost our damage with the third rorqual in structure, but it was able to rep through the remaining damage as we died. In the end, we traded well and had tons of fun. Count Scary even managed to pop the wrecks of the Rorquals, denying that loot drop.

     

    By now, things were winding down, I was losing steam and we were losing active participants, but we managed to BLOPs onto an Orca and kill an Ikitursa. Afterward a stream viewer asked for a 1v1, so we had a few good fights until I rejoined the guys on comms for the last couple hours of the stream. I had one goal, since the freighter had failed... make it to 1DQ. This is hard to do when you're on a stream and INIT stopped my first three attempts. An alliance mate scanned out Thera for us and reached out destination and got a kill before being sent home. As the stream ended, we got eyes on one last BLOPs target and got a final kill just one minute after the official end of the stream.

     

    I had an amazing time and slept all day Sunday. In anticipation of the event, I booked today off work, so I'm about to go get more sleep, but I wanted to get this posted. Thank you again to the donors of both in game items and real world money. The outcome, $3801, was amazing. We gave away all three EVE Vegas Skins, several super and titan skins, a Marshal, and a Nyx among a lot of other prizes. Thank you to streamfleet and everyone else who hosted me and raided my stream. Thank you to the /r/eve mods for approving and stickying my post about the fundraiser. Thank you to everyone who watched and brought us content including the guys in DEADCO, Horde, and INIT who brought amazing fights, as well as that small group in Scalding Pass, who, after we killed their structures and fleet, still donated. Finally, once again, thank you to my alliance (United Federation of Conifers) and our blues (Rote Kapelle, No Vacancies, Digital Chess Session, and Spoopy Newbies) for staying on comms, on stream, in fleet, and providing giveaway prizes. I think we once again proved that EVE has an amazing community.

     

    PS. Please excuse typos, I'm still exhausted and looking forward to going back to bed.

    CCP revealing Korean localization on November 14 Korean convention and hosting 2:2 tourney & last man standing fight

    Posted: 04 Nov 2019 08:55 PM PST

    News article link (Korean): https://www.gamemeca.com/view.php?gid=1598105

    I've TL'd the article:


    CCP Games, an Icelandic development subsidiary under Pearl Abyss, has revealed that they are first unveiling Korean version of Eve Online in Busan city G-STAR 2019 convention on November 14th and immediately begin servicing Korean version of the game.

    Eve Online is a SF MMORPG game set in space, maintaining its global popularity for 16 years since 2003. Using a singular global server, many users from United States, Germany, Russia, Japan, and so forth are enjoying the game.

    CCP Games has improved the accessibility of Korean users by translating the various necessary gameplay elements like the AI guide Aura, "Birth of Capsuleer" introductory video, ship fitting system, and skill training.

    Pearl Abyss booth also hosts multiple events in the convention. Demonstration booth will allow hands on experience of the Korean client and host various contents such as 2:2 fight, last man standing battle, and instanced PvE dungeons. Participation in the offline event also bestows special built in-game item gifts.

    CCP Games CEO Hilmar Petursson says that he is "very happy to reveal Korean version of Eve Online in G-STAR," and "is looking forward to meet Korean New Eden 'Capsuleers.'"


    Did I hear battle royale?

    Last time I've checked when SISI had its KR localization up it had too much places that needs polish. CCP, if you're reading this, you should really consider getting better help.

    Can't set home station, been getting this error for months - Am I missing something?

    Posted: 04 Nov 2019 05:58 PM PST

    Athanors are terrible game design

    Posted: 04 Nov 2019 05:31 AM PST

    Who the fuck at CCP thought it was a good idea to have an unkillable structure (during a fight at least) anchored on a glorified asteroid belt which does the DPS of a t1 haw dread, has (effectively) 5 240km+ heavy neuts and can BOMB OFF BUBBLES that're tackling mining ships/rorqs. Also you can't see active moons on the anomaly list so you have to dscan sometimes upwards of 50 athanors to even get initial tackle on them, and then you land on the athanor you still have to warp to the asteroids because you don't land on zero on the rorqs/mining ships, also they can warp to a bookmark on the far side of the athanor and be in tether range... weren't the moon mining changes meant to have more people in space to create content? CCP how do you suppose this creates content? Spoiler it doesn't.

    In order of importance;

    1. Athanors should not be able to fit bomb launchers so they can't just bomb off bubbles with no effort
    2. Active moons should be on the anomaly list just like mining anoms, and the warpin is 0 on the anom not onto the athanor
    3. Athanors should have only one highslot, so they have to choose between a launcher or a 240km+ heavy standup neut (which is effectively ~5 non-bonused t2 normal heavy neuts)

    [Discussion] The Friendship Machine Visits J-Space

    Posted: 04 Nov 2019 05:47 PM PST

    TLDR; Wormhole corp finds recruitment a unique challenge, rambles a bit, then decides to try something new.

    Hi /r/eve,

    I'm a CEO of a medium-sized wormhole corporation that has been living in j-space for a bit over four years now. Myself, several of our members, and friends got the chance to head to Eve Vegas again this year and had a great time once again. While much of the content presented had mixed reviews, I can honestly say that CCP Larrikin and CCP Ghost presenting their "Data & Botting" and "The EVE Friendship Machine" respectively got us talking the most. I'm sure these will come available for watching soon, some similar recordings may already exist from previous meetups. Regardless, I recommend checking out both.

    The reason these presentations caught our attention was pretty simple - the summer slump really hit us hard this year and recruitment/player retention was consequently on our minds. Learning about the NPE, retention, and other data from a pilot's first 100 days was quite an eye-opening experience for a lot of us. We really wanted to take this knowledge and do something with it to help with our current situation. Specifically, we wanted to adopt a more active approach at recruitment. CCP Ghost clearly showed us that the retention rates of players that were sought out by corporations/alliances exceedingly outweighed those who stumbled upon our /r/evejobs or forum posts.

    For us, "seeking out" players mostly consists of a few seconds on grid before explosions happen. Of course, we can follow-up with these pilots. This was much easier in the days where we lived in a Class-2 wormhole with a high-sec static. When our only direct connections are now other wormholes or deep null-sec, running into eagerly exploring newbros became exponentially less frequent. And even then, many are turned off from the prospect of not being directly tied to known space. Regardless, casually meeting players is not common for us. However, the players that we do have are certainly anything but common. Not many people willingly want to subject themselves to wormhole living. Luckily, we've been doing a bit of data gathering ourselves. Our application process includes a short survey that covers some generic questions but also has one that I was very interested in showing CCP Ghost:

    What can we do to help you enjoy Eve?

    Besides a couple troll responses, I noticed we had a trend in our previous 150 submissions. We saw that a massive majority of the responses included words such as community, home, people, teach and learn. To reiterate, these were all things that players wanted to get out of being in our corp. To help visualize this, I cleaned up the responses some, combining synonyms and tossing out filler words to help make this:

    https://i.imgur.com/g1FUl2C.png

    I thought this was quite surprising, and so did CCP Ghost. Granted, this is the only pre-recruitment application survey data I've seen, but I'm sure there are others out there. What interested me here was that Eve does nothing to help players find these specifics in a corporation/alliance. The recruitment tool in-game revolves around activities within the game, where it seems people are more interested in activities NOT directly provided by the game. Obviously people have a preference between in-game activities, but that is extremely easy to determine and make visible. The current in-game recruitment tool, as we know, is horrendously ineffective. The question is then how do we reach players looking for community, a home, other people to learn from? And, more importantly, how do we become that which players are looking for? We're now in the process of figuring this one out and how best to passively and, more importantly, actively reach potential pilots. We are maybe about 30-40 real people strong. We are relatively very small compared to many other groups. We don't want to grow massive, but we also don't want to shrink. We just want to be better at what we do and find people who want to be better by being with us.

    Now, some people reading this are probably shaking their head wondering how we didn't realize this before. Honestly, I'm not sure why. We don't have a lot of resources, time, or people to dedicate on bringing in new members and we simply just kept using what was working for us. Going through those presentations at Eve Vegas, looking through our own data, and having some internal discussions has shed light on something for us that was probably there all along, we just weren't looking. As a take-away, we want to change. We want to try something new and closely follow how it effects our group. It might end up a poor decision, it might do nothing, or maybe we'll see a change for the better. We won't know yet for awhile, but I hope to have some tangible data in the near future as we grow our own Friendship Machine.

    Thinking of coming back - Resetting assets.

    Posted: 05 Nov 2019 12:16 AM PST

    Hey r/Eve

    Think this is my first post created on reddit, so bare with me if i don't speak the language that well yet.

    I want to come back to Eve, as i do every year, but this time i wan't to stick around on a casual schedule. Normally i spend time gathering my ships and stuff in a station and trying to start from there, but it hasn't really worked.

    So this time i am thinking of selling all of my assets to start a fresh, and not feeling bound to a station or anything.

    Have any of you ever done something like this?

    PS. I have really enjoyed some of the positive posts lately, I think its inspiring.

    Simple ideas for a FPS game on EVE world

    Posted: 04 Nov 2019 09:57 PM PST

    I'm a Korean eve player since 2011, and all korean players are very exciting that Korean EVE client is coming on 14th this month. We expect a lot of new and badass koreans joinig EVE, and hope a birth of the other Faker on EVE!

    One day, one of Korean players mentioned that he hoped and imagined to be able to infiltrate a citadel. So, I've thought that what if players of Dust 514 or FPS game on EVE Online world would be able to disable the reinforcement or any defense system and take the control. If EVE Online players create a contract (or make a deal) with FPS players to attack and capture a user citadel, and disable/deactive/end any reinforcement, it could make the entire of New Eden more fierce, intense and dangerous I guess. And if CCP makes a whole process from infiltrating to capturing way hard like Destiny's Raids (Taken King or Leviathan) and EVE players can support fires, it sounds it would be much better than at least Dust 514 and the other one.

    What do you think about this? Do my ideas look doable?

    Question to Scanning gurus

    Posted: 04 Nov 2019 09:20 PM PST

    Guys, question mostly relates to scanning in WHs. What do you think is the best way to scan in new appeared static?

    I know some years ago doing blanket scan of the whole system and then each signature individually was the way. Also, before, there used to be a way to say if the signature is another WH or some site just by it's location relative to planets in solar system. Is that still the case?

    Generally, how do you scan in new systems with, say, dozen sigs?

    EDIT: Forgot to say that scan skills are maxed

    Best way to get most value from subscribing to Omega

    Posted: 04 Nov 2019 12:27 PM PST

    I am interested in possibly subscribing to Omega. Are there any specific links or deals that would give me the most "bang for the buck" when subscribing?

    For example, one player in EVE sent me a referral link that said I would get one million skill points for signing up for Omega and the person who referred me would get a bonus as well. Thank you.
