Community Beat for 12 August
eveonline.comWelcome back to the Beat!
We often say that EVE players rock our world. Since our last Beat, that has actually been quite literal! CCP Studios, based in Reykajvik, has played home to some serious geological activity in the last two weeks. After a series of earthquakes, the Geldingadalir volcano became active once again. If you’d like to bring some Icelandic ambiance into your homes, check out the live coverage of the activity below:
But we’re not going to be stopped by some pesky lava! This week we take a look back at some developer chats, marvel at AI inspired art, and look forward to some player events in and out of game. Let’s get to it!
Text-to-image generators have been all the rage this summer, and players have been creating everything from great memes to jaw-dropping art. Over on Twitter, Veetor – who you may know as the creator of the Abyss Tracker - fed some screenshots from the Abyss through MidJourney and came up with some amazing shots.
Over on the EVE subreddit, Lumielistar created some equally stunning pieces using the same program. We love the aesthetic and, if we’re honest, the implied chaos and destruction. AI's just get EVE!
This week we heard from CCP Psych and CCP Aurora, both on CCPTV giving a presentation and answering your follow-up questions on the EVE Online Discord. Topics ranged from high-level plans for FW, to the precise details of proposed new complexes. If you missed any, or just want to rewatch again, you can find the recording in the FAQ Recordings channel on EVE’s Official Discord and you can check the CCPTV recording over on our YouTube channel.
CCP Psych & CCP Aurora loved your questions so much that they agreed to come back in a few weeks. So if you have any questions for them, hop on
