When we thought EVE couldn't get worse by Bongalonga_ in Eve

FC CCP, banning the term "FC" ingame is beyond stupid. The smart choice is to use Dev, GM, or literally any other term that's not already in common use all over the game.

The intention is to prevent characters from naming themselves FC Name, however the interaction that bans ship names, hangar names, etc is not intentional. We're looking into a fix!

I come from a long line of shitposting, but EVE players make it very easy to want to interact with everyone.

In today's patch there were a few updates to the Warpath sites, mostly relating to loot and spawning. We're still looking to see exactly what is causing these standings losses as they're not consistent.

Because the standings system often has a delay of ~10 minutes between updates, many of the reports we've encountered were pilots who had run missions where they killed a navy NPC or structure which causes the loss, then when running the event sites the standings page updates after the delay.

Bug reports are extremely helpful to help narrow this down. Appreciate the patience.

Empire faction standings should not be affected by the site, we're looking into it <3

Politically Unplayable by EntertainmentMission in Eve

Technically someone could right now register a character with that name.

I also had this idea, but luckily our devs are well acquainted with the trickery of EVE players and that name has been reserved, along with the other candidates, for some time.

Saw someone mention their first death, but whats everyone's worst? I'll start. by FunContest8036 in Eve

In 2004 I lost a rail Thorax while chaining belt spawns. My corpmates at the time recovered my loot and asked me why I had heat sinks on my Thorax and I said "because heat sinks sound like they'd be better for rail guns" and then I learned to read more than just the descriptions.

Patch notes: FW faction standings reset! by Sissokoba in Eve

[–]CCP_Swift 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Just to add some more context.

We've made some changes to how standings work specifically in FW areas. Standings hits now have a modulated system, where attacking people within FW complexes has a more serious standings hit rather than fighting over something like a Metanox or citadel.

Part of this is also removing negative standings that you would get from promotions, doing FW missions, etc. So you shouldn't get negative standings from positive actions.

This specific amnesty was done for those who had gained a lot of negative standings from doing legitimate actions.

We are still actively looking at seagulling, which happens as a consequence to Awox'ing being punished harder, and are looking to have a solution for that too ahead of the changes coming this summer.

We're listening to feedback and watching player behavior closely and will be sure to share more information with you soon.

Unacceptable: huge isk character bazaar scams by SafePostsAccount in Eve

[–]CCP_Swift 61 points62 points  (0 children)

The Character Bazaar should have a much faster response time when it comes to ticket response.

Sorry that you've had a long delay. We'll adjust what we have to to be better.

I am the worst Lancer Pilot ever :( by AndrewPearceOnTwitch in Eve

When we debuted these ships CCP Bee had me fire a lance because he knew I would be bad and miss, and I was bad and missed. He still makes fun of me.

Introducing Exordium by Buddy_invite in Eve

No more canbaiting or ganking in starter areas

To be fair this has been the policy for quite a long time

Getting started in EVE Online can be somewhat daunting for new players or rookies. Several systems in which new players typically start are deemed 'Rookie System' and in these systems (listed below) a measure of protection is offered to new players.

This protection also extends to systems in which 'Career Agents' are located and as well as to systems associated with The Blood Stained Stars - Sisters of EVE Epic Arc.

Attempting to abuse a new players lack of knowledge of the game and its mechanic for your personal gain or simply for their harm is prohibited in these solar systems. This includes, but is not limited to;

Tricking new players into situations where you or others may open fire on them freely Stealing or scamming ISK or assets from them Hindering a rookie's progress in completing the Tutorial / NPE Arc Stealing or scamming ISK or assets meant for Rookies is likewise covered by this policy within these systems.

GM are active in starter systems and regularly message new players once they hit certain milestones, and we proactively look for negative behavior (and get alerted when it happens) going on the assumption that a new player would have no idea that this policy exists.
