[DEV BLOG] Drifter Statistics

This is CCP Affinity on behalf of Team Space Glitter and we would like to show you some week one stats on The Drifters that we released with Tiamat.




One of our goals with The Drifters was to further iterate on the new NPC AI we released with the Circadian Seekers.  It has been awesome to see how you all adapt to new challenges and we hope to continue reprogramming the NPCs of New Eden.

[The Scope] Drifters

“The Scope” program from Galactic News Network (CCP’s ingame creation to release official news), has a new video out, this time on Drifters. It does confirm, for the record, that Caroline’s Star did in fact originate in Jove space.

The majority of the video covers the new NPC faction, Drifters, that have been released in EVE’s last expansion.

Tiamat Incoming. . .

With eh newer 6-week dev cycle for EVE Online, the patches and mini-expansions have been getting a mixed reaction from the community.  And Tiamat is no different.  There are two major features that are being debated about by the players.

One is the Minmatar Svipul T3 Destroyer

The other is the High-sec aggression toggle for corp management.

EVE Online Tiamat Patch Notes Released

Tiamat will be released on February 17, and CCP has released the patch notes for the latest release of EVE Online. Key features in this release include the ability for corporations to choose if a CONCORD response will be triggered by intra-corp aggression, and the Minmatar T3 Tactical Destroyer: the Svipul.

 

Tiamat will also see an appearance of a new faction in New Eden - the Drifters. While details have been vague, their appearance following the Circadian Sleepers' arrival appears to be connected. Bits and pieces of Drifter related content have been discovered on Singularity, the public facing test server, in addition to being hinted at by way of The Scope news videos. Other changes include a rebalancing of projectile weapons, new sound effects, graphical upgrades, and UI improvements. For further details on the release, check out the official Community site for Tiamat.
