Stuck through the 42 minutes. Thanks

11:17 to 12:06 🥲

Thx for the vid @Talking In Stations

Good knowledge, lots of speculation on the changes from many players. We are all winding what they ar going to do, Thank you for keeping us in the loop, appreciate the show long time watcher, O7

Rahne is back! Great show!

you have too much free space in high sec. come to null. here is the activity !!! high sec is booring !!!! i think this new stuff will consume even more time to play with. i find it complicated ! But as always looking foreward for the new content !

Do we just not get these uploaded to Spotify anymore?

nullsec is too safe but they are supposed to be roleplaying a player controlled empire.

a system allowing mercenary contracts would be nice but ccp hates independent operators.

yet again WHs are ignored :( give us some R32s or something and let us have some fun!

No Style Fred will be there ❤

"the danger of the templars was discovered and most were purged" lmfao great way to retcon shutting down the dust servers

Mike Azariah is an awesome guy. The "interviewer" needs to finish the elementary school and then several years practicing interviewing.

FIRST!!!

To bad building the big things is 200b+

Obviously most people don't know where IT alliance name came from and why there is clown. They named themselves after IT, Stephen King TV horror show. And it is not is pronounced as IT(abbreviation of information technologies). My guess they wanted rest of EVE perceive them as something scary and nameless like clown from TV show.

Good to see you rain, and Ben and guests. Thanks for the show, and info,

53.30 Ben eating crisps . Angry totalbiscuit noises .

Where can I find the details for the EVE meetup in New Orleans?

Great to see the dev, knowing some of them actually still play. Hopefully we can meet and pew pew pew. Till then thank you for the show, and fly fun o7

I just learned a Kestrel is a hawk

Hateless o7

Hateless o7

Hateless glad i joined your fleet once during the Trig invasion, we will miss you o7

Elise Randolph, Suitonia, Bjorn Bee all CCP developers now? very nice

I flew with brave for a bit in my 12 year career. Outside of fleet fights, I lost one ship. ONE. My time in Hi-Sec......I've lost count. And the fleet fights.........sorry, but i got better things to do than sit with my head in my hand staring at the screen with my finger on the F1 key, and only press it when some dude called an FC tells me to, and only after clicking on what they tell me to click on. Lo-Sec has me having a really good time. No blobs, just me and a couple friends fleeting up and doing stuff. I kinda wish the risk/reward was more where it should be in low though. Right now, it's terribly difficult to really make any progress.

No juicy info in this, just riff raff. Skip.

Thanks so much for the shout-out CCP Swift! o7 Enjoyed the episode, always good to hear from CCP devs, especially those that were among our own ranks. <3

How am I just now learning about this channel? This is great! And just to commend on CCP Swifts comments about their audio engineer, he's spot on! Audio most places is super good. Really provides a ton of extra atmosphere to the game, IMO. Kudos to whoever that is.

Dunk, start up the game foxhole! :D

Thank you dunk matterall, and Ben, long time viewer. Great to see you hosting again. Miss the regular shows appreciate you all. I still watch, will be here for the next episode.

i have nothing against matteral personally, but I honestly disagree with 99% of the stuff he says

Dunk, as a Goon, I miss you being a part of the game, and I miss fighting Brave. Wish you well!

The reason B2F survived that long is simply NNN just went missing for more than half year😂

EVE Online isn't about winning. or ISK per hour It's a game for learning, enjoying, relaxing and talking to Corp mates that share your interest.

Excellent piece of work, Ben, Matteral and Dunk. Well thought out and respectful when you disagreed. m

I agree with a lot of what everyone is saying in this episode. I am a relatively newer player but it does seem like the null alliances are bigger than the four empire factions. A thought struck me while listening to this episode that it would be amazing if the empires and high sec “safe space” took the fight to the null alliances. I think it would be interesting content if faction warfare changed to acknowledge the player alliances and decided to take the fight to them on their home turf.

First of all wow, what an interesting video, I used to be a confirmed watched of all TIS content and it has been great to see something watchable again. Secondly, I wanted to express my gratitude also to David and Michael for their candour and for sharing their experiences in EVE as well as their personal philosophies on leadership and being part of a group. I came back to eve in 2024 after a 9 year break and the reason I "won" temporarily is exactly what our speakers talked about - even though I loved it, at a critical juncture I realised that EVE was taking up too much of my life and taking me away from the most important relationships you will ever have and that is family. I am at a stage now where I feel that I am able to better balance life and game play so I came back around the start of the pandemic to see what had changed. Looking at how things have changed since 2011 and again since 2020 I am in awe of the commitment that it takes to lead a corporation of a few people, let alone an alliance of thousands - you are both remarkable people. In particular - @MichaelPusateri you were the exemplar of what I would want an alliance leader to be, dependable, conscientious, dignified and fair. I never had the chance to fly with Brave but if their culture today still reflects the tenets you talked about then well done and I think they would be an awesome group to be a part of. Even though its not my current corp's motto, the idea of staying classy is something we should all aspire to. That's it - just wanted to say thank you and to let you know that you were both amazing and inspiring in what you did for the game and those of us who continue to play.

Oh Matterall was part of .NC , that connects a bunch of dots and general pro-papi propaganda

Hey! Stop telling people about our secret sex parties!

The time when Matterall was hosting the show with Carneros (sorry when I butchered the name) and CCP Swift (who wasn't CCP Swift at that time) was when I fully emerged into the meta game. Those were fun times.

for all MMORPGs the longer you play it eventually you'll see the flaws and everything then you're done I played Eve online for 19 years and I started burning out after my 14th year

Dunk stepped up at a difficult time, and did the best that could be done in a shitty situation. well done mate.

34:56 in my chase, the same thing that brought me into the game... Space Ships.

28:36 <give or take> ... imo, jump-range / time / jump-clone would need to be nerfed badly in order to break up the coalitions. Make it hard to defend huge territories. (least, that was my thought process... have not played in some time). The change doesn't even need to be over night, introduce these slowly so people adjust.

The majority of players want to rat and mine in peace, whether in highsec, highclass or nullsec. CCP keeps plenty of space for them to do that. And thats good, it keeps the big power blocks in one place. But the best gameplay is in the margins; lowsec, lowclass, Pochven, Thera etc. Setting personal goals and experiencing New Eden from within the game, learn the lore as you go and write your own stories. Blackout was an attempt to get people to take that first step into those less traveled places, I bet a few people did, and in that way maybe it was successful.

Thanks Ben, for bringing these two Titans back to share some wisdom, and for being awesome!

was it dunk that ccp named the faction salvage drones after? in case it was, i have 4 sets of those...scattered across eve now. lol...good stuff! and like in the movie "war games" the only way to win, is not to play...so there's that lol i think blackout was a bad idea executed poorly a best. that said, if the mining/manufacturing/mineral aquisition didn't torpedo the game. nothing will. as for me i used to be in the top 2% of manufacturers in eve. since all the changes, i haven't touched my rorq, orca or mining fleet (2 accounts) and i am riding my assets down to 0. in a few years, i'll be the one winning eve lol finally, once i get out, the only thing that would make me want to come back is the final showdown with goons. with the possibility of larger scale fights (in excess of 20,000 players on grid) so we can actually have it out. since thats not likely to happen, then nothing would stop me from winning eve as it were. i end with a question. is there a way to tell how many of the 34,000 players are alfalfa players and how many are subbed?

pretty sure uhm what was his name... guy who runs the bus... mike azariah, pretty sure he already answered How to win Eve, the ol' gym metaphor. basicly its existentialism, you decide the meaning, very similar to the ol' what's the best ship for x? question. while there may be an objective answer it always comes back around to the subjective answer. "One Thousand and One Nights" is the book I'm rather certain you're referencing @ 13:20

Thanks TIS, thanks Dunk, thanks Matterall. Great episode very insightful. hope to see you guys in new Eden soon
