It’s August, which is commonly a reasonably quiet time with regards to information and updates for EVE On-line. They’ve the routine of August holidays, the way in which a lot of Europe does, so issues decelerate. We’re about on the midway level within the month and we nonetheless don’t have the MER. Within the winter, when no one goes outdoors the MER usually reveals up a day or two into the month.
So I’ve a couple of bullet factors in regards to the sport and what’s going on to spherical out the week.
CCP isn’t fully dormant. Someone is there to press the button that swaps gross sales within the money store. After which there may be whoever has been doing movies for The Scope, the CCP video chronicle of participant occasions, which this time lined a battle in wormhole area the place a single coalition has sought to manage the entire C6 measurement wormhole area programs.
Forsakened Few evicted from their dwelling in J121006 wormhole system often called “Hoth” by a Arduous Knocks-led coalition, marking the tip of the Struggle in Heaven. Lina Ambre studies for the Scope.
The chyron under the video shows the next:
- Studies point out elevated pilot motion by The Initiative into The Bleak Lands area.
- Speculative studies of a collaboration between ORE and EDENCOM denied by ORE CEO Afait Assette.
- One other giant engagement recorded in Siseide attracting over 800 capsuleers.
- The Scope authorized representatives investigating imitation “Cope” broadcast.
- Uncommon and adorned Python class battleship destroyed within the system of IPAY-2.
- Race for the Hives inquest tangled in Gallente paperwork resulting in “indefinite delays” in publishing.
The point out of The Cope refers to some movies about low sec battles presently being posted. CCP is paying consideration.
- Pandemic Legion Leaving PanFam
Pandemic Legion is without doubt one of the oldest and most storied null sec alliances nonetheless round, concerned in each huge struggle for the reason that nice struggle in opposition to Band of Brothers, winner of 5 alliance tournaments, and at one time the dominant titan energy in New Eden.
It got here out this previous week that they leaving the PanFam coalition, a transfer so sideways to actuality that when it was leaked by Asher in a ping it was met with a lot incredulity. Significantly, is it even PanFam anymore with out Pandemic Legion?
Has anyone seen Ceema?
Pandemic Legion, not like another outdated alliances, maintained its elite participant, invite solely, properly vetted, will need to have a titan recruitment coverage, preferring to spin off the rising want for participant mass to keep up its place in null sec to a subsidiary company, Pandemic Horde.
A decade later we speak about Pandemic Horde being the core of PanFam and may point out PL in reference to some historic occasion or one other.
Pandemic Legion Dwell from B-R
What the longer term holds subsequent for Pandemic Legion is unknown. It was all the time a small group that might be led by whoever had a plan and needed to take the reigns, so it is going to be fascinating to see if that is the start of one thing, or only a transfer in the direction of retirement.
I think in the event that they linked up with every other coalition, it could be The Initiative. However we will see.
In the meantime, it seems like their outdated accomplice, NCDot, is taking their area within the dronelands.
- AIR Alternatives – Make Three Jumps
The every day AIR Alternatives have gone by a couple of gyrations. First they have been too arduous for brand spanking new gamers, so CCP simplified a couple of of them, then expanded them to eight every day choices. Then that was too simple, so that they diminished it again all the way down to 4 with no duplicate choices allowed. That apparently moved issues too far into the “tough” finish of the pool, so this week they added a fifth every day process, make three jumps.
Make Three Jumps – The Fifth Beatle
What does it imply? Just about any transfer between two system depend.
- Goal: Leap between programs in area 3 instances.
- The way it works:
- Every soar contributes to the purpose, whether or not it’s to a brand new system or forwards and backwards between the identical programs.
- Leap Varieties That Depend:
- Stargates
- Ansiblex Leap Gates
- Shipcasters
- Wormholes
- Leap Drives
- Leap Filaments (Similar to needlejack, pochven or occasion filaments)
Actually, I’m solely stunned a clone soar doesn’t depend.
So along with the 4 every day choices, and the flexibility to simply use your in all probability ineffective EverMarks to purchase an goal, now you can simply gate forwards and backwards thrice.
This has, in fact, led individuals to try to optimize, as a result of if you happen to do it on the identical gate, then you definately really should do FOUR jumps, and who needs to waste a soar like a chump? So that you want three programs in a triangle for optimum outcomes.
Clearly on the trivia record, however I’ve lastly managed, for the primary time in virtually nineteen years, to get an actual solo kill mail. Over on zKillboard I’ve been credited with a couple of, however they didn’t depend. Getting a a solo kill whereas a part of a bombing run meant I used to be in a fleet after I did it, or whereas capturing an alt once we have been blowing stuff up we couldn’t haul dwelling, definitely doesn’t depend.
Anyway, I recently wrote about Ishtar ratting and operating a tanky match that may stand as much as single or double ship assaults, and the way I even survived a pair such assaults.
Effectively, I lastly bought a kill out of it. One other Russian duo went for me, the DPS coming from a Sacrilege, an Amarr heavy assault cruiser, with sort out being accomplished by an Ares. I pulled my Berserkers and launched Praetor heavy drones, as a result of attackers usually are available tanked in opposition to no matter harm the native NPCs shoot/are weak too assuming I will likely be capturing the identical. The Praetors hit them with with EM reasonably than the explosive/kinetic they’re anticipating.
Anyway, I tanked the Sacrilege no downside and he finally warped off when the Praetors ate by his armor, however the sort out within the Ares bought fixated on attempting to kill my drones (he bought one) lengthy sufficient for me to drag the remaining 4 and put out 5 Acolytes, small and quick drones that hit smaller targets arduous, which tore him up. Once more, EM for the win. So I really had to make use of a few mind cells to make this occur.
Outcome: One useless Ares and my first ever solo kill.
- CCP Limits Twitch GalNet SKIN Redemption
I’ll admit I principally watch CCP broadcasts, just like the Alliance Match, to get channel factors with a purpose to redeem them for GalNet SKINs. 10K factors per SKIN. CCP, little question sensing my lack of religion or one thing, has determined to restrict when you’ll be able to redeem channel factors for SKINs.
The GalNet StreamCast Unit SKIN channel rewards are now not completely obtainable for redemption. They are going to be made obtainable once more sooner or later throughout vital occasions resembling Fanfest livestreams, the Alliance Match and others so maintain on to these channel factors! Within the meantime Twitch Drops will likely be periodically obtainable right here on the CCP channel and the channels of different EVE streamers so you’ll be able to nonetheless earn rewards only for tuning in.
That isn’t the worst factor on the planet. I can nonetheless accumulate factors. I’ll simply have to attend till particular occasions to redeem the factors… and be disillusioned about getting a SKIN I have already got.
I assume my alts profit.
- Final Minute Bullet Level – Pearl Abyss Q2 2025 Financials
This popped up after I wrote the submit. I don’t have a lot to say as I’ve to return and browse it extra totally, however I’m to know if the resumption of breaking out earnings by IP is a part of the plan to promote CCP.
That’s all I’ve. Future me must cope with summarizing this all in Month in Overview submit subsequent yr.
