Patch day starts at 0300 on the 10th, EVE time.

Is there an emoticon for Endie-sniping?

I find this quite humorous:


Oh you CCP guys crack me up!  :why_so_serious:

The obligatory

Graviton Physics IV
Anchoring V

Just when Meduim Railgun Spec 4 hits. Oh well roll on Capital ships 5...  :grin:

Oh yeah I love this one.

Jump Drive Calibration V
Tactical Weapon Reconfiguration IV
Large Projectile Turret V
Advanced Spaceship Command V
Command Ships IV

Spot the odd one out?

Edit:


Thank fuck.

Large Energy Turret 5


I want to know if it will still randomly crash the client.

Sharpshooter V here. I never really got my gunnery skills up, and it was conveniently under my mouse. Also, I set it like 2 days ago.  :grin:

Command Ships IV
Electronics Upgrades V

Drone Sharpshooting V!

Not really sure...I'm thinking -

Hull Upgrades V
Scrapmetal Processing V
Surgical Strike V
Jump Fuel Conservation V

Although I did notice a few of my alts don't have as much learning skills as I'd like so I may just do some Learning V instead on two of them.

Eidetic Memory V
Ice Harvesting V
Acceleration Control V

Cybernetics V
Warhead Upgrades V

I created a hauler alt on a spare slot - gonna create another hauler alt after the patch and compare training times towards freighters.
With some luck, it can be done within 2ish weeks  :awesome_for_real:

This patch forced me to finally create another account and roll up all the instant alts I need  :drill:

Current training:
Anchoring V
Signal Acquisition V (I wonder if it will be worth it with the probe changes)
Astrogeology V

Will be pretty hilarious to read the complaints from people who bought it from a retail shelf and can't log in because CCP fucked up patch day yet again.

Advanced Weapons Upgrades V.

Only 6 days left, in fact. It's my "go to" skill for "I have a month left to complete this motherfucking thesis. I don't even log onto my computer at home anympre".

Evasive Maneuvering V.  Inty's  here I come.

Cruiser V for Antolin (8 days until HACs!).
Not sure what I will train for Kaleeha yet....gotta check her skills again.

By the way, the improved training speed counts for all characters under 1.5m SP.  So one built before the patch may be in a slightly better position, though with a fair number of wasted skills.

AWU 5- Check
BS 5- Check
HAC 5 - Check
CS 5- Check
DI 5- Check
Drone Nav 5- Here i come!

Well, thank fucking god they got around to fixing that one.

Needs moar headlights if you ask me.

I've got a five-day skill I just kicked in.  :oh_i_see:

:ye_gods: Antolin is not in HACs yet? How long of an Eve break did you take?

Energy Grid Upgrades V
They want me to snipe and I didn't have the heart to tell them no.

The real question this thread should be asking is what are you going to respec your attributes to? It's less than 24h and I still can't decide!

Currently leaning towards "make every skill (except charisma skills) train faster than they do now; don't worry about min/maxing". But then I think about the stuff I could train with 14 points in perc and will and I get antsy.

I'm going to start hammering through leadership skills for the next two months and then drop charisma down to the minimum.  Looking forward to that!

I'm not respecing because I was sure to make my char the perfect spec  :why_so_serious:

So what's the re-spec?  Start with 5/5/5/5/5 and feel free to distribute 15 pts?  That's what I heard.  That would be an extra attribute point. 

Max of +5 in any attribute?  That would be nice.

Does anyone know?

I got someone one of those for Goon Secret Santa this year.

Come to think of it, I might not bother respeccing for a while.  It would only give me three extra points to work with and would mean two months of leadership training that could go to greatly improving cap stability or tanking... hmm.

Yes to the 5/5/5/5/5, but you only get 14 pts (no extra point). Max of +10 in any attribute (that's the 15 you heard). So if you are a training a cap ship alt you can immediately go to 15 perc/9 will.

Wing commander 5. and me with a min charisma amarr. Oh well.

My alt is Vherokior with some 14 or 16 base Charisma - she will be continuing social and some trading skills for the next 3 weeks, then be respecced to Pereption and Willpower and rush towards BIG SHIPS and industry.
In a year I'll pump Charisma back up and go for leadership skills.

Main will only be adjusted slightly - some points in Charisma seemed like a nice thing to have on character creation  :uhrr:

I think I'll probably just balance my attributes and never think about it again.

Hey, it's our original Bat Country billionaire backer.

I think I'll be doing the same Reg. Although my main has too much intelligence, which has helped me learn a lot of the skills needing that skill very quickly, so I might finish all intelligence related and then level everything.

Ouch that should take you a while.

Surgical Strike V
Armored Warfare Specialist V
Energy Management V

If only their were some way coming out to change you base stats!  :ye_gods:

About 2 years. I was focused on sniping BS, and trained BS V when I left. Luckily I have all the support skills already, so I should be able to fly the hell out of a Vagabond in about 2 weeks.

Affording one is a different matter altogether...

So, does anybody have an alternate link where I can download the huge ass patch from?  Eve's official link is downloading very slowly.

Torrent for patch (1.3GB): http://dl.eve-files.com/media/0903/evepremiumpatch75883-84244_m.exe.torrent

I personally recommend avoiding the autodownloader. I spent the entire weekend downloading the Sisi client starting from the seemingly easiest method to participate in the fleet test and I couldn't get it to work until the last day's event was over. First I tried the regular patch, which failed. Then I downloaded the full installer, which also failed. Then it recommended to use the fallback installer, which, too, showed the exact amount of failure (http://www.ut.ee/~a73440/ccp_fail1.jpg). I downloaded the fallback installer again, this time using Wget and cleaning out the hard drives and making more free disk space. Alas, it was still a fail.

It was only when I used Churker's server info (http://games.chruker.dk/eve_online/server_status.php) with client and patch downloads did I get it to work somehow.

The server is up.

Goon members, in all seriousness let's not discuss that bug until it is more widely known anyway.

Heh, had to login to the forums to find out what you were talking about.

We're all either going to be rich or banned.  :awesome_for_real:

Ah jeez.

:ccp:

I, too, am aware of this bug.

On a different note, it's INTERGALACTIC NEWS! (http://www.eveonline.com/apocryphabreakingnews/)

"The event in Seyllin has long been foretold by the scriptures. Those who deny God's will and those who support heresy are subject to His judgment. The fury and the wrath of the Seyllin star is God's cleansing fire, brought down on the heretic nation with a righteous vengeance. Consequences have been made clear, and the path of safety is clear!" - those cooky Amarrians

SEYLLIN – SCOPE News has established a live feed of the remnants of Seyllin I. The hellish scene confirms that a plasma wave passed through the area, and that the planet’s remains are coalescing back into sphere. Massive fragments are still orbiting the world, and capsuleer traffic has been sighted inspecting the remains. "I have seen a Serpentis MTAC squad wading through pools of molten metal to rescue a bunch of kids."

Bleh, that torrent is going even slower than the direct download  :|

Got to be a fast link somewhere...

I just remembered the skill queue is in now...I can't wait to get home tonight. :oh_i_see:

Also looking forward to getting blown up in my first wormhole I find, either that or get stuck/spat out in hostile space.

Feel bad for the random pubbie who gets a wormhole exit in PR-.  :awesome_for_real:

How did I miss this???

* Tech II versions of the Codebreaker, Analyzer and Salvager mini-profession modules have been introduced.  :grin: :awesome_for_real:

Be careful what you wish for.

as seasoned EVE players you all know patch day is no game day... I took the day off and had some extra time at the pub, sure as hell don't want to experience the boot.ini incident again :why_so_serious:

Well fuck, I made the mistake of logging off in Jita last time I was on (have my +4's JC there).  Now it wont let me log in at all because Jita is "Stuck".  And I should try again later.

Clear your cache and if that doesn't work file a stuck petition(they will move you out of jita if you want)

Moved ECM discussion over to the new, topical thread (http://forums.f13.net/index.php?topic=16527.0).
