[Eve] Revelations 2.0 Launches Next Week

[Tripamang]

Stolen from SHC

From Jita local:

[ 2007.06.14 15:17:52 ] CCP Oveur > Syril: I'll get you something better, I'll get you Revelations II next week
[ 2007.06.14 15:20:21 ] CCP Oveur > You should see a news announcement later tonight about Rev II

Other things:

Graphics Engine update:

[ 2007.06.14 15:18:14 ] Kepaloha > how long till the new graphics engine is available for test on test server?
[ 2007.06.14 15:19:48 ] CCP Oveur > Kepaloha: not scheduled yet, I can tell you "this year" with high certainty

Autopilot:

[ 2007.06.14 15:20:16 ] hellwarrior > Oveur did you make any alterations to the autopilot code to make sure it works properly? As well as fixing session change bugs relating to ship loss/gate jumping immediately after?
[ 2007.06.14 15:20:35 ] CCP Oveur > hellwarrior: yeah, we actually changed the autopilot a bot
[ 2007.06.14 15:20:37 ] CCP Oveur > *a bit
[ 2007.06.14 15:20:53 ] CCP Oveur > the session change is something we can't address yet
[ 2007.06.14 15:21:12 ] CCP Oveur > it's very fragile, which is the reason for your - and my (not to mention GM) - frustration
[ 2007.06.14 15:21:56 ] Richard Villiers > and what about autopilot recalculating routes after every jump, sometimes changing routes for no apparent reason?
[ 2007.06.14 15:24:20 ] CCP Oveur > Richard: I believe the autopliot sticks to it's route now

Tech 3:

[ 2007.06.14 15:31:23 ] CCP Oveur > Qual: Tech 3 is a while away, partly because of how much is associated with it

Carriers:

[ 2007.06.14 15:31:19 ] Targeteer > is the carrier nerf still going through?
[ 2007.06.14 15:31:52 ] CCP Oveur > Yes and no on the carriers, they are getting the balancing all ships get
[ 2007.06.14 15:32:25 ] Denissa > Please don't stop us from being able to store giant secure cans in haulers in carriers. Its not that much of a size increase, and most of the time they are only used to "Partition" you storage. Or make a Can that is equal to its size.
[ 2007.06.14 15:33:14 ] CCP Oveur > Denissa: we're looking into that, but it has to be like that for now, we've long frozen the expansion and this was a bugfix

ISK Farmers:

[ 2007.06.14 15:37:10 ] TwilightTech > Oveur, what can CCP do to stop ISK sellers from using disposable accounts?
[ 2007.06.14 15:37:47 ] CCP Oveur > TwilightTech: we do a lot about them, the fact you see some give you an indication of how many they are, how intent they are and that most of these are actually companies
[ 2007.06.14 15:37:54 ] CCP Oveur > so it's an eternal battle
[ 2007.06.14 15:38:03 ] CCP Oveur > we do something, they react, we do something else, they react


So we're going to see the new graphics engine before the end of the year (yaya) and Revelations goes live next week.. double yaya

[FoghornDeadhorn]

Thank god. I hope they've got a fairly revised Crow model in the works...

/shudder

[Khorum]

Last screenshots for the graphic upgrade suggested retexturing and a bigger polygon budget but nothing in the way of radically different models. I hope they pimp out domi and the raven too, those two need some work. Then again, the look on the new vexor looks pretty fuckin hot even though the geometry remains essentially the same:

My question is when are they plugging in that in-station minigame that they had a video for at the GDC.

[Itzena]

The countdown to Orange Species losing his titan starts here!

[Saban]

Goons will probably produce and lose their titan before BoB loses a single one.

And if anyone is going to lose one it will be hegemon rast.

That's a given, and probably due to the pilot passing out drunk.

[Mist]

Guess I was wrong about the war being over before Rev 2 hit. Goons might have a chance yet.

[FoghornDeadhorn]

God that's a hot model. Anyone have a link to a more comprehensive showing? Last one I saw had about 8 ships I think.

[Itzena]

You know what's really awesome about the new models?
Alliance logos show up on them.

That is pretty fucking awesome.

[Cedric]

Theres a lot of changes which, even if you don't agree with them, ramp up the gameplay considerably. Can't wait

[Tripamang]

Bleh wrong thread.

[Bottle]

Man I love Eve content patches.

I hear gas harvesters are going on the market which will be nice.

[Wodin]

Now I have to find a way to make money legitimately, boo hiss.

[fucker]

is there a list of the changes they going to introduce with this patch?

i tried to google it but found nothing
