Recently, developer CCP Games announced that they will tackle a new update structure for the space sandbox MMO EVE Online. Now it is clear what updates fans can expect until spring 2016.
On one hand, there will be fewer large expansions, which will have a really massive and coherent scope; on the other hand, they do not want to forgo smaller updates at shorter intervals. Fans can already look forward to new destroyers, additional business graphics, graphic updates as well as gameplay and balancing revisions based on player feedback. Additionally, quality of life improvements are set to be made, and a linkage of EVE gameplay with real research results will be introduced.
Furthermore, the massive upgrade of one of the most powerful server clusters in the gaming world and mysterious PvE expansions related to the Drifters have been mentioned. Not to forget the mysterious event “The Crimson Harvest” that takes place later this month. In November, the Parallax update will follow:
Changes to the sovereignty mechanics have already been announced: regeneration of the Sov structures and the ability to destroy them oneself as well as reducing the maximum possible jump fatigue to 5 days. All this will come with the Parallax release on November 3.
With Parallax, a fundamental technical improvement will also be introduced, a completely rewritten attribute system. This improvement directly affects server performance, especially during jumps between systems, but also opens up numerous new possibilities for introducing new weapons and modules. This “Brain in a Box” feature has been in development for a long time and is a clear investment in the future of EVE.
