In development: CCP's Core Technology Team

[lebarosky]

Crash capture and recording yea!!!

[ihmesetti]

GFX team simply rules, Crucible is absolutely gorgeous <3

[TheKarlish]

CCP Mandrake. Rubix cube legend.

also T shirt made me laugh like hell! <3 CCP

[dethrag]

omg he is really good with rubrix cubes jeez

[FullFledged2010]

So we get better shadows in crucible?

[FamiAoi]

I wish I got paid for playing with a rubix cube, well at least we know that some people at CCP actually do work, while others just hang out and play with toys. what a strange relationship that duo is... You guys are a bunch of goofballs and I do think that's funny, I can relate to the aura your team gives off in these vids.

[helhkr]

CCP guard remembers me Hittler, maybe is because his hair

[SwamiBastard]

@helhkr retard comment u thirld world country slut

[paladinstorm]

... Also Tallest and TopKnot both have a bit of Wil Wheaton to them... <.<

These guys don't just act geeky, they look like geek celebrities. lol

[paladinstorm]

CCP Solomon vaguely reminds me of David Tennant.

[Bokumaru]

Sir? SIR!.. Please, take your break and drink your water when you arent being recorded so viewers thing you're un profess-- nahh im just jokin' -- do whatever the HELL You want ! =D was that Dasani?

[CDNChaoZ]

@Bokumaru It looks like Quafe to me.

[gerbenGVRwerkman1]

@Bokumaru Didn't you know, all CCP employees rely on Quafe to function properly

[sorcerymon]

the rubix cube is distracting me from what he's saying. it must be part of some vast conspiracy plan. hehe...

[ihmesetti]

Some real gems in this one, love the starmap improvements!

[squidvis]

4:19 random guy juggling in background. I love this company. haha

[Ghostmooner]

quafe flavored mineral water would be neat

[BuFu1O1]

SOON(tm) on the t-shirt...solve some cubes meanwhile.

[gerbenGVRwerkman1]

@BuFu1O1 CCP Mandrake rocks

[AustNaio]

I'd like a bottle of quafe.

[ahooola]

The launcher dudes cardigan, I like it.

[R4Akai]

3:45 was anyone else still listening? i just watched the cube!

[R4Akai]

lol now u can check out the girls tits more efficient !! GOOD FEATURE

[Ghostmooner]

did i just see him drinking from a bottle with the quafe logo on it????

[modisp]

@Ghostmooner yep you did

[Firartix]

Missing shots: ACHIEVEMENT GET!

Left to be done for EVE to be a graphicly modern game: - Sun godrays - Moar dynamic lighting and post processing - Better nebulaes (in progress afaik) - Improved Missile effects, where you can actually see the missiles - Maneuvring thrusters, such as those you see in X3 - or on the EVE Fighters - Improved Missile shockwaves, and whose sizes makes sense - Explosions/jumps flashes - Really turning turrets - And moar!

Keep up the good work CCP, though :P!

[stormtroopera52]

Finally, my blasters don't just miss by text and still slam the the target with full pain by sight? WOOOOO

MORE Importantly!!! 4:20 they are giving us juggling ships too, they are in the alpha testing phase, but I hope they come out with it soon

[Frostlander]

I want a bottle of quafe. :|

[Anvilshock]

I hate launchers ...

[Baziwan1]

DAMN RUBIX CUBE!!! i missed everything he was saying because i was watching it.

[NaliTikva]

"now we do have a working effect so that now when you miss the target the effect misses too "

W0000000000000000000000t!!!!!!­!!

CCP you are doing a good job at the moment I will be back when I have time again :)

Also 6 people couldn't afford EVE, I pity them :(

[ZeroEnero]

Rubix Man and Juggling Man. CCP rocks.

[Sw3denGamer]

@ZeroEnero they made me lol

[valcan321]

Would be awesome for some of us to be able to use the older graphics client like apoc. and stil play on the same server

Would be good for those who do alot of fleet battles also.

[Liqtor]

I have an unopened bottle of Quafe from the 2004 Gathering. Not sure it's drinkable. =P

[C31c10n3]

4:47 where he got the quafe from?!

[Amaroqdricaldari]

You know what would be beast? A 2-way, Omni-Directional Cloud System.

Basically, every client connected to the Server helps offload some of the processing from the Server itself and from other Clients, and the Server would do it too.

That means for every player to connect, it would help improve performance for everyone playing the game.

Also, you guys need add some GPUs and Network Processors to the Tranquility Server.

[LtColQwerty]

rubix cubes enhance your learning ability, they aee software engineers, they need to be entertained while the game planners are developeing ideas

[Hamatitio]

Instead of firing someone from your Atlanta studio, why not move him to Iceland and have him replace the guy who gets paid to sit around and solve rubix cubes.

[soullords]

@Hamatitio If you pull your head out of your ass and look at the dudes shirt you'll notice it's a subtle joke related to CCPs often used SOON™ on when stuff will be released and why its taking so long. It's a joke.

Besides he is from the core infrastructure team and I doubt anyone from Atlanta was part of that team or had anything to do with it since they have nothing to do with game development if I'm not mistaken they build the tools around the game that others use to build or fix the game.

[codex09]

Do these 2 actually work at all or is it always playing with that stupid Rubix cube?

[dbarry17]

3:42 - Topknot has awesome face :D

[Pwn81]

At 1:21 when the guy said shadows wont slow down the game, it took my mind like a few secounds to understand that

[Rageos]

Love how CCP portrays their staff rofl

[crysis306]

I was too occupied by the Rubix dude and I want some Quafe yo

[digimbyte]

@CCPGAMES 2:03 FINALLY!

how long did it take for you to realize that was an issue, it should have been a hotfix many months ago

[DarkShroom]

yeah we need that fully body avatar because we need to sell more than monocles and sunglasses

[palidan99]

YES! YES! I can FINALLY MISS NOW!. This is guarenteed to make the visuals much more interesting, especially for frigate pilots, so they can notice themselves out tracking battleships and avoiding them.

[Fuzzboy100]

CCP Please put in damage !

Just imagin peaces of armor tearing of the hull of heavy tanked ships when they enter structure, or the shields bouncing rounds off ! common

[Delvanni]

@Fuzzboy100 How about a shield effect; similar to the Hardeners or Boosters

[emikochan13]

@Fuzzboy100 we only just got shots that miss, give it a few years lol.

[TheReaverOfDarkness]

@Fuzzboy100 I agree!!

Lasers should leave temporary scoring marks on the hull that should glow like heated metal, brighter the more damage is dealt and more visible in the shadows!

Missiles should leave blast marks across hulls, and make extra debris fly into space!

EM Missiles should make the windows and lights flicker!

Thermal Missiles should make ship hulls glow as if they're heated!

Kinetic Missiles should leave large impact marks!

Explosive Missiles should generate tons of debris!

[TheReaverOfDarkness]

Rail Guns should make tiny holes on both entrance and exit! (other side of the ship)

Artillery should leave shredded dents!

Autocannons should leave trails of little holes!

And I don't even have a clue what Blasters should do!

[Bluarrowgrl]

@TheReaverOfDarkness Blasters should make burn marks...

[paladinstorm]

@Fuzzboy100 I'll have to echo emikochan13- don't expect it all too soon. This is still CCP we're talking about. Just because they're deploying this much awesome right now doesn't mean they can deploy that sort of awesome by the next expansion, let alone by Crucible's release.

Not to mention that's the sort of stuff I'd expect from an FPS or dedicated Space combat Sim like the X-series, not a game where most stuff is a computed dice roll.

[angelmarine1292]

@Fuzzboy100 Well for one, your spelling there was absolutely atrocious in addition to that, there are limitations in their graphical engine which may make such a thing unfeasible. It's nice demanding things, and having ideas, but much different actually implementing them.

[Bluecewe]

@Fuzzboy100 I'm sure it's a feature which they've looked at many a time, but that's a pretty hard feature to implement looking at how long it has taken other developers such as DICE to implement what is essentially destruction. A decision also has to be made as to what impact the armor and hull repair modules actually make on a ship; do they rebuild the structure - in which case how would that look - or do they simply create some sort of new materiel around the ship.

[zkevwlu]

@Fuzzboy100 Yeah, just imagine what will happen to the client when it's trying to calculate destruction in a 1200 man battle....

[TheOneSeer]

Is it sad I'm excited that I can miss now?

[iamhaen]

What the hell did you shoot this video with? It looks fantastic.

[GurubashiGodBreaker]

@MrDavidivad At least they keep their promises unlike CCP and their WiS bullshit. Shut the fuck up brownnosing fag.

[TheOneSeer]

@GurubashiGodBreaker

I love how customers think they can can say whatever they want to the people they give money too. Gramps always said "Customer is not always right but customer is king." Sadly kings get toppled. Don't like EvE? Vote with your feet that's what I did with WoW.

[DarkShroom]

@TheOneSeer and you stopped that one dead in it's track didn't you... i hear wow are going through hard time

[TheQvirus]

You see that CCP? The guy fucking around with the Rubix Cube? That is called LOST PRODUCTIVITY TIME!!! He is fucking around with a Rubix Cube rather than doing his job!! This is EXACTLY the reason why you had to FIRE 80 people here in Atlanta!!

[robomoore]

CCP really making these videos fun

[Arthi556]

I'm very very satisfied with those development vids - very nice indeed

[tetrahc]

Add depth of field to the star map!

[TCoops]

BOO for launcher. I hope the launcher is optional. That you can use it for the update, but then just run the client from the normal eveonline.exe. Hate "launchers", just keep it simple.. First a cash shop, now a launcher.. Next thing you know there will be a spyware ridden, CPU hogging, GameGuard running in the background. Slippery slope CCP. Slippery slope..

[DeftCrowMk3]

@TCoops Run client to full memory, check for updates, close client for updates, dump memory, update, run client to full memory, check for updates, close client for updates... not very efficient eh?

[TCoops]

02:53 .. FINALLY they are making the weapon hit/miss effect. I always thought hit/miss looked lame. You watch the blaster charge explode on your enemy's hull, then it says "Your xxx completely misses for 0.0 damage". Other MMO's have been animating hit vs miss effects for years. It doesn't sound important, but once you get used to it it's very good. You get a "feel" for damage you are taking, not relying on your damage readout or HP bar. Its a win for immersion.

[Lintary]

So my misses will finally miss my target, well that is something I call to be long overdue :) Will add a bit more realism to the looks of the game.

Also glad to hear the new shadows don't hurt my poor GPU, I am starting to run out of hamsters to power it.

[FallenAzraels]

:) i want my own rubix guy

[nigropuntdus]

lmao all that guy does is play rubix cube?

[nigropuntdus]

glad to hear it won't tax my gpu

[Bitlings]

Juggling guy at 4:20, Soon(tm) shirt Rubix guy, Quafe drink etc. while doing tech stuff.. CCP humor is back!

[NevidniKaktus]

Makes me wanna work for CCP... someday in the future :]

[longleaf0]

I'm liking the new added humor :) It works well to lighten the video up a bit and make people smile. The update about the changes to the graphics is certainly interesting, but I can't say it made me grin, the rubix cube guy, juggling bloke and Quafe(tm) drink did though. You guys are doing a great job in getting people's confidence in you back, keep it up!

[Kratax]

Less rubix mans because they draw attention from the actual video...

[thejmeister]

Turret effects that miss your ship? Awesome. Keep up the good work CCP =)

[hofergodt1]

are funny hairstyle a requirement to work with you ??

[doonn1994]

GIMME THAT QUAFE! NOW!

oh and the guy whit the rubix cube was good :P

[xanosdarkpaw1]

I like.

[RocketMaster2]

Wait... are you guys manufacturing Quafe now? If so I am totally ordering some.

[JackA117]

was that a Quafé drink at the end! :D

[DiamondChrome42]

dude why would you change the awesome launcher that is perfected? all that's going to do is create new bugs and slow down the download time

[TheCaptainRazor]

SOON™

[TommyRushing]

I wish my job was to solve a cube all day.

[jamilandretorres]

Haha the juggling guy was slick

[gigicaly]

ahhaha I think the cube is computer generated

[gigicaly]

that guy with the Rubik cube should be payed just for doing that in the videos :)))

[EsperothX]

Sorry, I didn't hear a thing about the launcher, was distracted by the CUBE!

[viciokas1993]

Whats up with the mad Rubiks solver guy? :D

[Voltigeur07]

THANK GOD STAR MAP 

[Rongidge]

Has anybody seen the juggling guy at 4:20 in the background?

[BiGSonic316]

@Rongidge lol good eyes

[LSFDevastator]

@Rongidge HAHAHAHA what a legend! and the rubix cube guy XD

[thunderxlightning]

@Rongidge its compiling!! xD

[gerbenGVRwerkman1]

@Rongidge I love the juggling guy and Rubix Man in here. Go CCP for remaining laidback.

[PraetorianPhalanx]

Keep up the great work CCP! Greeting from a happy costumer.

[NthreeE]

CCP, u sure will be huge after Dust 514, Walk in stations and some The Sims features aswell to it. Oh I hope the waiting is soon over.

[ArmAMajor]

Why waste so much time/money/effort on avatars? We need more ships, more races, more ship customizations, more missions, more exploring etc.

[zaramoth001]

Needed more Rubix Man in my opinion.

[DeftCrowMk3]

@zaramoth001 Put Rubix cube in incarna, complete with appropriate scrambling functions?

[grimreaper8668]

I do appreciate these vids alot and I think selling quafe in supermarkets would be a good income for ccp,,,quafe the drink of pod pilots :-D

[grimreaper8668]

Does he get paid to play rubix cube o.0

[lgonggr]

His sideburns are so sexy...

[darklord9393]

great videos CCP :) great job. very happy :) thank you.

[cheapspellcheque]

Remember when soundwave said something llike "hey welcome to EVE, heres your rubix cube, now go fuck yourself".

[Raynor9899]

Hahaha the light at 0:39 lol.....:-D

[SANibbler]

Excellent way to keep us updated, thanks CCP!

[Searingpain205]

/like

[facebuttocks]

3:00 may have noticed? MAY HAVE NOTICED?

[penitent2401]

so, did they only hired that guy to solve rubix cubes?

[Panthe123]

Highest entertainment factor of all dev blog videos so far!

[screenspace]

Was he drinking Quafe?

[Panthe123]

@screenspace

Obviously his locking times improved.

[Vise555]

@screenspace - yes, yes he was :)

[WhiteBattleBull]

i love these, helps me keep up with whats going on.. keep them rolling!

[pilks4k]

Every office needs a rubix cube guy.

[Spacialvekter]

I want some Quafe...

[tonglil]

That rubix cube must take a lot of productivity out of your days.

[clientwtf]

at 4:19 someone is juggling in the background

[BasharSardaukar]

Dude, srsly, video blogs every week, multple dev blogs a day for the past several weeks. This new leaf CCP has turned over is amazing.

[Spineraker4]

I'm sorry, but what was Sweater Shirt Dude talking about? I couldn't pay attention on account of Random Rubix Cube. Because...Rubix Cube!

[companymen42]

I love the devs, I think their funny

[AhdDib]

no wonder they can't get any fucking work done. they need to ban the rubik's cube.

[ScozzySkytower]

@TjaRLu That's why I've been playing Nexus: The Jupiter Incident since it was released in 2005. May be mostly single-player, but while I am deeply rooted into EVE for multiple reasons, Nexus is my first loyalty. Ships with shields have a visual transparent bubble that flashes near the point of impact when a weapon hits that spot on the shield, and when it collapses it's a pretty nice effect. THEN the ship is directly visually hit. Just saying, overall, that i share your interest on this aspect.

[wafflegear]

the new people part of the game need optimized so my fps doesn't go from 60fps to 30 fps. setting video cards on fire is not a game feature ccp.

[clientwtf]

@wafflegear what video card do you have?

[S4rab]

Is that guy paid to complete rubix cubes lol, he doesn't seem to do anything else in the video =)

[swarm420]

4:46 is the best part of the video. Are they bringing Quafe back? Will there be a new Miss Quafe contest?

[papajoe231]

i want some Quafe

[LordHaur]

@papajoe231 Come to fanfest, they sell it there.

Also, Quafe Ultra (Smirnoff & Quafe) is awesome.

[TjaRLu]

Finally shots are missing visually as well.. Now all i am missing to see in-game is a visual indication on the shields when a shot hits the ship.

[RedRobeNinja]

4:47 - He's drinking Quafe! does that mean it's back??!!

[Xeno10O8]

If they incorporate missed shots, can we get them to reappear in a different solar system striking other players or structures... ^.^ Talk about having a dread fleet shoot an inteceptor in the direction of jita.. :D

[lacolo]

lol @ change in audio at 1:21

[blueyourmindLLC]

CCP comedy is best comedy. But seriously; good work, love you guys, keep up the good job.

[timmie124]

at 4:22 any one see the guy juggling in the back 

[kineticdeath]

the visual effect of shots actually missing sounds pretty awesome, i too have found it weird how the shot hits but gets counted as a miss. Maybe even if they could work in things like the light hits through to excellent hits with a different effect. Light hit the shot strikes but bounces away, excellent hit the shot causes an explosion type effect on top of the standard hit effect. I know that would be more work though so even just hits and misses is good enough for me for now!

[W0ngnim]

Ha! I was just talking to someone about how they should actually make missed shots missed, and they should also make it miss by the amount it missed, as in the turrets tracking vs the targets angualr velocity (as in a capital sized gun shooting an orbiting frig wouldn't even get close at all).

Also, they should just make a flat map for eve too, just like Dotlan or something.

[AmphysvenaCorp]

0:39 wtf...

[gordon1201]

I love you CCP

[BifordusMaximus]

I love all the easter eggs in the video. Way to keep us entertained while already keeping us entertained.... :)

[jawmare]

:18 months:

[MarthKoopa]

EVE is a terrible game because it takes 20 years just to fly your first space ship

[imacds]

@MarthKoopa umm, i started in 20 minutes, and i am playing well after 20 weeks.

[zombiekillerlol]

Thanks for making the eve development more transparent, I'm sure most players appreciate the insight

[mountaincrab]

Quafe.......

[Overdoseplus]

lmao CCP Guard with the candle XD

[KrystOutlander]

You guys are amazing. It is comforting to know that the data collected from crash logs is actually looked at by some one. You are the first game developer that I have seen personally show the crash statistics. Thank you for working to keep a smooth running game even smoother! I look forward to more in depth videos from you in the future and seeing behind the veil at what goes on within CCP. The game industry could learn allot from you.

[spunkmunki]

why is hitler presenting all their new videos?

[gnemish]

Where can i buy some quafe?

[TheWingdevil]

That is a wicked vid...rubix cube wizard there...wow!

Great work as always at EVE!

[harryman11]

You know what I said about you guys really changing the other day I take that back, FREE DURRHURRDURR

[assasing123]

<3 love the guns missing their target! now if we have impact effects based on if the target has shields armor or hull, it would be sexy <3 and homeworld2 like ship explosions! :D

[arren85]

WHERE IS THE HAND GRENADE FOR ME FIRST 2 VIDEOS???

[TheTrueDeathInEve]

i think "CCP SOON" is a new employee going through training lol, i like the training regiment. keep it up CCP love your vid postings

[HalaDM]

The 'In Development" videos are a great way to reach out with the larger details about the upcoming news, I hope you keep them up.

[elcocodriloazul]

ROFL.

CCP is really trying to making it up to us after all those years of neglect.

=)

[Manta818]

So I work a CCP and solve the rubix cube all day with my buddy messing it up so I can solve it.

Thats the job I want...NOT

[sm0kingJay]

+1 Demonstration on shadows using candle. Please bring back the seamless map upon open/close of the map as a toggle option to people who can handle the rendering strain. Make sure that things miss in the general area of what your shooting at instead of 'some' of those funny Laser shots in the vid.
