Fantastic capsuleers!
EVE Vegas was this weekend, and with just over 200 official attendants it’s one of the largest player meets in North America. We were happy to attend and share with players a little bit of what we’ve been up to since Fanfest, and what they can expect with the Uprising expansion just around the corner in November.
We’ve been focusing on five pillars of gameplay. Firstly, giving players tools to create stronger organizations. We have also been working with players and the CSM to prioritize dozens of Quality of Life changes for all types of players, some of which you have seen, like changes to the SMA and COSMOS agents.
Next is more forward-looking, specifically what the future of warfare looks like, and creating systems and tools that help you all blow one another up. Enriching player identity through visuals like corporation and alliance emblems on ships has been another focus, allowing you and your friends to proudly display your space flags! Finally, investing in the underlying tech of EVE to make sure EVE Online both looks and acts like a modern game through our EVE Evolved initiative.
Since Fanfest, and even before, we’ve been taking measures to ensure that new players coming into EVE don’t drown in a sea of infinite decisions. We’ve been adding to the EVE Academy resources which allow new players to learn what it means to be a capsuleer so that when they reach your corporations they are ready to learn and contribute. We've also added the AIR Career Program to give them more direction in their first hours so new players are even more knowledgeable prior to potential recruitment.
We’ve been hard at work with our amazing Spanish-speaking community to localize EVE in Spanish, its seventh language! While
