231: 120 Minutes in Space w/ CCP Burger and CCP Paragon

Disclaimer: Technically not 120 minutes

-CCP’s Burger and Paragon join Alek to discuss the Road to Fanfest and the questions raised by this much lauded dev blog

-Fanfest is coming!!! What should people expect out of this event 3 years in the making?

-Mining NPE and the most effective metrics for new player retention

-No more ninja POCOs: gantry now have timers and are shootable (no change to the actual POCO once it’s up)

-Gameplay options for Rorqual conduit jumping and how aware CCP are of the potential abuses

-Instant compression! Good. What’s the gameplay goal of compression in the first place though?

-Follow ups on the Dynamic Bounty System, the ESS, and the unrealized potential of bank heists

-Progression for aspiring carrier pilots? What pilots should aspire to carriers and why? What is their role if they can’t fight near tether?!

-Taxation and the evolution of EVE’s PVE structure

-CCP Burger’s feelings going into the Fanfest Keynote

PS: Pardon the initial mic quality (it does normalize).

Meta Information in EVE Online

Videos from fanfest are starting to hit CCP’s Youtube channel, including my brief look at how the data we interact with every day turns into the meta information we use at a deeper level. So deep, right. Find it here or embedded below.
CCP did a great job editing and the slideshow is well-shown throughout the video. Thanks for listening (and watching now too apparently) and we’ll be back Sunday night.
