omgwtf subject must be wrong.

well it's not, so shut up Very Happy

we have just put kali onto Chaos, the internal test server that is available to us and bughunters only. well, maybe a few other volunteers. atm kali is very unstable and well, borked on a grand scall. the plan is to start getting it stable over the next few days, then make some patches and get the bug hunters help in testing it. we are not able to make patches for it yet, hence the delay on getting the bughunters help. but this is being worked on atm and will be resolved asap.

now for sisi. well. hmmmm. soon ?

once kali is in a stable state we are going to get it onto sisi for player testing. we are hoping this will be next week. yes that soon. ofcourse it must be in a player testing state, which currently it's not. but if we can get rid of the bulk of the show stoppers this week, it's most likely going to hit sisi next week. if valar has the time, then i'm hoping we will be able to do a new mirror, but there is alot involved in doing a mirror and valar is very busy atm. we will need all the help we can get if we want to get this out sooner rather than later. we need lots of detailed bug reports. a guide to doing a bug report can be found here.

inactive accounts ???

i will start a thread in this forum and if your account is inactive i want you to post there. i will then make your account active and delete your post. people who create threads regarding this will not have there accounts activated.

rule breakers - be warned

i'm cutting down on the rule breaking big style. we have a lot of volunteers and players that give us alot of useful bug reports and feed back that i'm now going to secure they can continue to do so. so i will be very harsh in the banning of people from the server for rule breaking. i will also be very quick to permaban instead of temp banning. there will be no further warnings regarding this. Rules are here.

while all this is happening, we will also be doing hotfixes to TQ. the hotfixes will be nothing major really unless something pops up. we will be using entropy (another test server bughunters have access to) to test the TQ hotfixes. it might be that on rare occasions we have to move sisi back to dragon to test the hotixes out. this is something we are stuck with and it will only be for a day or so if it does happen.

skill training will not be increased in speed.
skills will not be boosted.
faction stuff and the new ships will not be available.

any questions ?

thx for the support. i can't really say if the new ships will be available or not, it's not up to me to decide. and kali on sisi next week is a "want/hope" date we are aiming for.

i would also like to add that we are recruiting new bughunters and now is probably a good time to apply. please apply here if interested

Kudos to the EVE development team, and the people who spend the time making these builds playable for general testing. Sharkbait, I shudder to think what Sisi would be without you.. Thanks for the heads up on the Kali release (coming soon :P )

I have read somewhere that the new graphics update won't appear until Kali3 (new engine is required for the new models) but i could be wrong on the specific release for the new engine although the new engine will still be required for the updated models like the megathron shown at E3.

This worry me, too. In the past, ships coming out without being tested by players have often been bugged, and for others stats anomalies (the mackinaw's initially smallish cargo hold comes to mind) have been found because because lots of players got their hands on them.

And we're not speaking T2 or capital ships here, to be used in the first months only by a small minority. New BS and BCs will be used massively, so any bug/unbalance will have immediate, serious repercussions for a lot of players.

If those ships aren't alaivable for player testing before they hit TQ, you can expect at least one of them being bugged/unbalanced, and a big forum wave of "omg, CCP repeat it's mistakes" right after that.

quick question,
What is the difference in being an offical Bug hunter and someone like me who might get on the test Server test stuff out find bugs and report them?

Thanks

Jet.

I've been getting on the test server as of latly and reporting bugs when I find them. Been playing for almost 3 years and I just want to help make the game better Wink.

found the problem it was a bug in IE6 on my pc with adblocking software. changing over to maxthron solved it my app is sent in now. going to try to narrow it down to give you a detail report of it and a work around if needed. I never realy use IE but that day cause I clean installed windows from a crupted windows file causing the computer crash from memory leaking and well over dew clean install.

This has come up a lot, and their answer is always the same: you have to be over 18 beacuse you have to sign an NDA. If you're under 18, you're not legally able to sign such agreements, so they can't have you in ISD. Unfortunately, CCP can't change the stats of real-life laws.
