Patch Notes For 2021-10-28.1

Features & Changes

Events:

  • The Crimson Harvest has begun! This Blood Raiders themed event runs until downtime on 9 November
    • Limited time combat and hacking sites are appearing all over Highsec, Lowsec, Nullsec, and W-space, belonging to the opposing forces of the Blood Raider Covenant and the Order of St Tetrimon
    • Crimson Gauntlet and Tetrimon Base combat sites can be found in most areas of space. These sites should be approached with caution, and capsuleers are advised to fly a battlecruiser, battleship, heavy assault cruiser, or even more powerful vessels if they wish to investigate these locations. Rewards for looting the battleship NPCs found at the end of the sites include items that can be traded for isk, skins, boosters, clothing and more!
    • Crimson Harvest Network Node and Tetrimon Network Node data sites are also appearing across New Eden. These hacking sites contain network node structures that can be accessed for more great rewards!
    • Advanced versions of the combat and hacking sites can be found within the areas containing the most heated fighting between Blood Raider and Tetrimon forces: the Blood Raider controlled systems within the Delve region and the low security systems within the Derelik region. These advanced sites are rarer and more challenging than the standard versions of the sites but they provide much greater rewards. Bringing a friend or two helps reduce the risk immensely, but beware of other capsuleers who may be searching for the same loot!
    • The most elusive and valuable strongholds of the Blood Raiders and Order of Tetrimon can only be found by obtaining a rare escalation from the advanced combat sites.
  • Both the Blood Raiders and the Order of Tetrimon are willing to reward capsuleers who attack their foes. Each character can choose between two options for the Agency challenges and reward track for this event. You will receive points for shooting the oppsoing side to the one you choose in the agency, and you will receive a reward track themed around your chosen faction. Be aware that although you will only receive agency challenges and points for shooting the opposing side to the one you choose, there is no penalty for shooting both sides and taking the loot from both their sites.
  • During the Crimson Harvest a special set of login rewards are available each day that players log into the game. These rewards include new skins, new limited time boosters, and hundreds of thousands of skill points!
  • Trick or Treat! During the Crimson Harvest all player ship explosions will have an increased loot drop rate, with an average of 90% compared the normal average of 50%. Wreck icons have also changed to reflect the season.
  • A special Crimson Harvest themed Abyssal Proving Ground starts tomorrow, 29 October, and runs until 2 November. This event features a 4-player T1 Desteroyer Free-For-All format, with a special set of bonuses to webifier range, energy warfare strength and laser damage that lets every destroyer harness the power of a Blood Raider ship!

Gameplay:

  • 🤝 Updated aggression mechanics in the ESS. A PvP timer will now be initiated when establishing a Link to either the Main Bank or Reserve Bank.
  • 🤝Increased Rogue Drone Mutaplasmid drop rate from the CONCORD Rogue Analysis Beacon (CRAB). The frequency of mutaplasmid drops has been increased, resulting in higher chances of multiple mutaplasmids dropping from each successful CRAB run.

Missions & NPCs:

  • 🤝CONCORD has significantly increased (20%) the wanted bounty for each of the new Rogue Drone threats discovered by CRAB deployments
  • Rogue Drones summoned by the CRAB have been observed to exhibit a change in tactics.
    • Rogue Drones will be keeping inside the scanning perimeter of the CRAB, and also remembering which ships have been threatening them such that any new ships arriving at the CRAB will be less likely to garner their attention.

Structures & Deployables:

  • 🤝 Reduced Bill of Materials for the CONCORD Rogue Analysis Beacon:
    • 1,316,000 x Tritanium (previously 2,416,000)
    • 402,000 x Pyerite (previously 502,000)
    • 183,100 x Isogen (previously 310,400)
    • 2440 x Zydrine (previously 2,840)
    • 420 x Megacyte (Unchanged)
    • 2 x Broadcast Node (Unchanged)
    • 1 x Self-Harmonizing Power Core (previously 2)
    • 1 x Sterile Conduits (Unchanged)

Patch Notes For 2021-10-19.1 - SUMMON THE SWARM

Features & Changes

Structures & Deployables:

The CONCORD Rogue Analysis Beacon is now available for use by capsuleers. This new deployable creates a flashpoint of PVE gameplay for capsuleers with new rewards available. The deployable has 4 phases: Deployment, Linking, Scanning, and Rewards.

  • Attributes
    • Anchoring III required to deploy, with restrictions in deployment locations.
    • Limited to Null and Low Security space.
    • Activation delay: 20 seconds
    • Maximum lifetime: 1 hour
    • Shield / Armor / Structure: 50,000 HP / 50,000 HP / 50,000 HP
  • Deployment & Linking
    • Once deployed, it will be globally visible via the Overview for anyone to warp to.
    • After its initial Activation phase, it can then be Linked to by pilots in the following ships: Carrier, Dreadnought, Supercarrier, Titan.
    • For the ship that begins the linking phase, it will be locked in place in space for a duration of four minutes.
    • While linking, the following will be in effect: Tether Blocked (Debuff), Cloaking Disrupted (Debuff), Warp Drive Disabled (Debuff), Resistance Bonus of 10% (Buff to all resistance profiles, Shield/Armor/Structure).
    • After linking the above four statuses will clear after a duration of 60 seconds.
  • Scanning Phase
    • After Linking, the CRAB will begin to broadcast a signal in the solar system that will attract the attention of Rogue Drone NPCs.
    • When Rogue Drones are in proximity of the CRAB, they will block the scanning progress and attack hostile threats in proximity to the CRAB.
    • The Rogue Drones must be destroyed to clear the perimeter so that the CRAB can continue its Scanning.
    • After 10 minutes of uninterrupted scanning, the CRAB will complete its analysis of the Rogue Drones and will have salvaged enough technology to reward players with new Mutaplasmids.
  • Reward Phase
    • After successful scanning, the CRAB will have mutaplasmids from Rogue Drones inside of its cargohold .
    • For two minutes after scanning, the ship that initiated the CRAB during its linking phase will have exclusive access to the cargo hold of the CRAB.
    • After these two minutes pass, the CRAB will self-destruct with the generated mutaplasmids always safely being found in the wreckage (it will be a 100% chance to drop its contents when it self-destructs).

Gameplay:

  • Solar systems have a new property, "Signal Interference".
    • Using the new CONCORD Rogue Analysis Beacon repeatedly in the same solar system will saturate a system with interference preventing the CRAB from being able to broadcast a signal that can be isolated. In practical terms, the CRAB will not be able to be linked to if interference is too high as the Rogue Drones cannot locate it.
    • Over time, Signal Interference will decay back down to a quiescent state. This state of decay is always ongoing and not attached to server downtime.
    • The time for a full recovery of a solar system with maximum signal interference is approximately 25 hours.
    • The User Interface has been updated to show Signal Interference in locations where appropriate.
  • Capsuleers now have a reserve of Complex Encryption Qubits (CEQs).
    • CEQs are used when initiating a link to the CONCORD Rogue Analysis Beacon.
    • Over time CEQs will regenerate back to their full reserve, and the regeneration is always ongoing and not attached to server downtime.
    • The time for a full regeneration of CEQs is approximately 22 hours.
    • As CEQs are only required by the CRAB, your current reserves will be visible in a tooltip on mouse-over of the CRAB in your inventory.

Market:

The three month planned tax relief period has concluded, with new market tax changes being applied after review:

  • Sales Tax: 8%

  • New Mutaplasmids that can modify Drones come in four variations (Durability, Firepower, Navigation, Projection). Each variation will favor positively one attribute, with all other attributes having unknown results.
    • The Durability variations for example, will favor the Shield/Armor/Structure attributes positively, with no negative chances with the other attributes rolling between negative/positive changes.

Patch Notes For 2021-10-13.1 - EVE X Apple

Features & Changes

Defect Fixes


Features & Changes

Native Mac Client:

  • The Native Mac Client is now the default client on Mac for Tranquility. It is essential to be running the latest version of the launcher for the patch and the migration (see below) to be applied correctly.
  • MacOS 10.13 has been deprecated.
  • Migration from Wine to Native Mac client:
    • The install location of the EVE Client on MacOS is now different as it no longer needs Wine. Due to this, you might see a popup asking for access to the documents folder (for saving logs and screenshots), which you need to accept.
    • All client resource files are migrated automatically by the launcher to the new location. The files are then verified to ensure that they are all valid and unneeded files are removed. The verification can take some time, depending on the disk speed. Just sit back and relax.
    • Client settings for Tranquility are being copied from the Wine client to the Native Mac client.
    • The launcher will clean up the remaining folders from the old Wine client in a future launcher update.
    • The default keyboard shortcuts have been changed significantly compared to the Wine client:
    • Note: You might need to reset to default shortcuts if you had modified shortcuts for the Wine client.
    • Following text formatting and copy/paste shortcuts have been changed to mostly use Command (Cmd) instead of Control for consistency with the default macOS experience and also to avoid clashes with other shortcuts:
      • Cmd+C, Cmd+V, Cmd+X, Cmd+A: Copy, paste, cut, and select all - are now using standard commands on macOS.
      • Cmd+Left, Cmd+Right - move cursor to the start or end of the line.
      • Opt+Left, Opt+Right - move cursor one word left/right.
      • Cmd+B, Cmd+I, Cmd+U - bold/italic/underline.
    • F11 (Map Browser) has been remapped to Opt+B. This is due to an OS shortcut clash that can occur on some macOS systems where the OS will block F11 to the client due to the 'Show Desktop' shortcut. This option can be changed in 'Mission Control' on macOS if you wish to use F11 in the client.
    • The client now supports left and right option modifier keys. This brings the macOS client in line with the Windows client, with shortcuts mappings now working correctly. For example: left opt + A will open the character sheet, while right opt can be used for alternative character input for that key.
    • The moving between targets shortcut (on Windows: Alt+Left / Alt+Right) has been remapped to Ctrl+, / Ctrl+. to avoid clashes with MacOS shortcuts.
    • The default shortcut for stopping your ship has been remapped to Shift+Space.
    • Several other default keyboard shortcuts were modified for the Mac client and can be found in the ESC - Shortcuts window.
  • SpaceMouse is supported on the Intel Native Mac Client, but is currently unsupported on M1 based systems.
  • As previously communicated, the "Personal Skill Plans" feature and the Recommendations feature are currently not supported on the native Mac client. These will be supported in a future update. Certified Skill Plans and regular skill training are working as expected.
  • The client will automatically throttle framerate if thermally required by the system.
  • The mouse cursor on Mac now has a higher resolution.
  • The EVE Client logo has been updated for the Mac client.

Game Systems:

  • Adjusted thresholds for the Dynamic Bounty System.
  • Made several improvements to the Skill Plan system:
    • Added 'Hide Trained Skills' toggle that removes all trained skills from the view.
    • Skill Plan can now also be stopped tracking by pressing a button located under a Skill Plan tracker.
    • 🤝The functionality to 'Clear Skill Plan' now also removes a title and description.
    • Made small visual improvements to the Skill Plan card and the overview making it easier to see which plans have been completed.
    • Improved the messaging in the notification window to clarify when missing skills can be injected remotely or need to be purchased from the market.

New Player Experience:

  • Pressing the Escape key no longer skips the introduction video.
  • Balin Ferrus can no longer be targeted within the combat scene.

Miscellaneous:

  • Removed the option to enable/disable the EVE Input Method Editor (IME) in the game settings or via right-click menu. EVE always uses the OS IME, and this legacy option is no longer available.

Skills:

  • A new 'Rogue Drone Specialization' skill is available for direct purchase for 65,000,000 ISK.
    • +2% damage to drones requiring Mutated Drone Specialization per skill level
    • The following pre-requisites must be met to begin training:
      • Amarr Drone Specialization Level I
      • Caldari Drone Specialization Level I
      • Gallente Drone Specialization Level I
      • Minmatar Drone Specialization Level I

Technical:

  • The position of the windowed EVE client is now persisted. This was enabled by a larger refactoring of the window management system.
  • Improved the default client settings:
    • The default resolution is now determined together with the default graphical settings based on the GPU.
    • UI scaling is by default now determined based on the client resolution.
