EVE Online: Patch 1.1 Live

CCP's space-based MMO EVE Online is upgraded to patch 1.1 today, fixing many bugs and exploits and introducing a number of changes.

Players should notice an increase to performance in major market hubs, since a change to the client will result in fewer calls to the database, meaning a smoother play experience. Tech 3 has received a number of alterations to subsystems, changing the way several of them work. Players will also notice many changes to ships, modules, weapons and ammunition and the user interface.

Massive changes really. The description does not completely tell it all!

[Malfurion]

I'm glad - that's a looooong list!

[Maticus]

So glad for most of these fixes, as are the rest of the EVE population I'm sure :)

[Cogo]

About time...

[Leord]

To be fair, the game has worked pretty good so far. It wouldn't have become so popular if they had not done something right.

I assume it's more needed with increased populations though...

[Fyzzu]

By smoother play, do they mean less lag? Because that's sorely needed in big fleet battles.

[Maticus]

Yes, but only in the market hubs I believe.

[Malfurion]

Always with big patches, games need major fixes afterwards.

Thing is, these games are tested for so long, why does this happen?!

[Elly]

I see things like "Stealth Bombers can fit and use a covert ops cloak allowing them to warp whilst cloaked. " and it makes me want to play this but I hear it's a beast of an in-depth time sink and I don't have the will power.

[Leord]

One advantage with EVE is that you can still skill up while offline, so it's just as much of a time sink as you make it =)

[Maticus]

Sounds a little 'Star Trek' doesn't it? But don't be fooled, it's darker and much harder to get into IMO.

[JonahNL]

I'm glad they improved the overall performance. Good support, keep it up!

[moondragon]

Very good changes indeed.

[DeepThought]

It's key to keep MMOs fresh though. Even if it has no bugs updates are necessary to keep it interesting.

[AndyA]

Seems like a substantial update.

[c0de]

i think EVE can truly be considered WoW's rival

[Maticus]

Hmm, interesting. Not LOTRO or Warhammer? Or Runescape even?

[Medievaldragon]

Wait, isn't this game over a decade old? And it is patch 1.1 now? O_o

[Morrow]

lol is eve really a decade old, It does not seem that long since it came out tbh, where the hell does the time go :(
