ZARZAKH: Exploring The Deathless' Domain! || EVE Online

[@thebuddy4517]

theory on lore, zarzakh is a system looming around the event horizon of a black hole (referred to point of no return) that is stabilized by the jovians to keep the system from being engulfed by it, the fulcrum station (the name fulcrum, which defined that its a thing that plays a central or essential role in an activity, event, or situation is given to the station for a reason) acts as a main core stabilizer of the system which remotely transmits energy to the gates via the mass "clouds" across the system

[@captainbenzie]

I'd had similar thoughts about the Fulcrum and black hole!

[@elijahhull9611]

Damn, CCP's art team did that black hole justice. Really, the team did an amazing job with everything in the system.

[@captainbenzie]

Yeah, it's absolutely stunning!

[@TheLime-wd3yu]

This was really cool! I like the sightseeing video format. Did you happen to see the latest patch notes? A new loot drop added to Drifter Hive sites and worthwhile drops being added to the Sleeper data and relic site cans at long last.

[@captainbenzie]

Yup, our wormhole space is getting busier!

[@JulianMakes]

Oooh love your pics on the wall :) and that black hole looks amazing.

[@captainbenzie]

Thank you! And yes, beautiful graphics!

[@nakenmil]

I'm one of those who've been hearing about EVE since the early 2000s. I remember getting onto CCPs home page and reading lore and stuff, or sitting up late on forums listening to EVE soundtrack playlists, but the actual gameplay and the player politics and economics always felt too intimidating. I really enjoy the vids of yours I've watched, as I am maybe more into the fictional world of this really stylishly designed and immersive game. You have a great narrating style and voice. Keep it up!

[@captainbenzie]

Thank you!!

[@Eduardo-zl9vr]

I have no idea how I end up here but man I'm tripping

[@captainbenzie]

Haha 😂

[@militarymoose87]

I'm not sure how much help I am with this opinion but I like both styles of lore video. I actually prefer your scripted lore video more because they are put together a little better, however, live adventures of Captain Benzie are also interesting. You know the internet blew up to reaction videos so people live to see how others react to things.

[@captainbenzie]

Haha fair points taken!

[@Sepaedius]

As someone who's flown down the length of the station, its intake bay for stellar material from the star goes outside of the protection of the bubble. I'm reminded a lot of the Star Forge from Kotor, and I'm wondering they'll have some events in the future to unlock this station as some kind of manufacturing powerhouse. The amount of effort they've put into the system and station really makes it feel like they're intending this to be the new major hub of lawless space, just like Thera is the "hub" for wormhole space. The market's certainly picking up there.

[@captainbenzie]

I was really hoping it would have a strong anti-pvp presence like Jita, but for pirate aligned folks to be safe. Basically, Pirate Jita. Sadly that's not quite been realised yet! Hope it gets a good market!!

[@brodude9208]

The stereo separation of your voice is weird. It's like there's a delay in the stereo channels. Other than that, the commentary is very nice! Thank you for making this, new content looks great!

[@captainbenzie]

Thanks for the info and glad you enjoyed!!

[@shaq3675]

I really dig this type of video It feels like we are sitting next to your pc desk exploring this new site 90's gaming experience! Lost track of time and enjoyed the entire video , o7

[@captainbenzie]

Awesome, thank you!

[@shaymcquaid]

Ahoy, Captain! Glad to see another video! o7

[@captainbenzie]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@VanessaWJ]

glad to see it... I don't think i will be able to safely travel there myself anytime soon.

[@captainbenzie]

I was surprised to survive!

[@zombiehaiku7527]

Don't think this content was made for everyone to enjoy.

[@BoinkrNanis]

That figure is the broker.

[@captainbenzie]

Possibly. Would be cool!

[@crankydino]

What is your discord server? I can't find a link to it anywhere?

[@captainbenzie]

It's in the video description 😊

[@ricofico]

Walking In Station!

[@captainbenzie]

😂😂

[@ricofico]

@@captainbenzie I will never let that go. Till either I die or the game dies.

[@ricofico]

@@captainbenzie I have a dream. That one day Dust Clones and Valkyrie Pilots can walk in stations and drink Quafe with their Capsuleer counterparts!

[@NerdishNature]

Love it

[@captainbenzie]

Thank you 😊

[@samuelwicker6043]

Yay lore!

[@captainbenzie]

😊

[@alessandrochiarenza]

Anybody figured out what you have to do to gain docking access into The Fulcrum?

[@captainbenzie]

Wait until November when Havoc launches. It is currently impossible.

[@alessandrochiarenza]

Thanks. But, meanwhile, how to increase the standing?

[@captainbenzie]

@@alessandrochiarenza that's what I'm saying. You can't.

[@brianchristopher8843]

I pronounce it ahk-a-tor

[@captainbenzie]

According to Wikipedia, it's o-kay-tor. He was a helper God to Ceres...

[@ZeroWalker26]

I took a trip there my self in a shuttle and got a few nice screenshot realy awesome looking system and gates. Just a shame it´s a useless system where you will be gang banged to hell and back even if you have 10 in standing with Guristas or Angel cartel this system is just one gigantic pvp gang fest ground. If you want to find pvp or just wanna die well I recommend this system other wise avoid it.

[@captainbenzie]

Yup, was good fun surviving it!

[@Alex_AK_Alex]

oh man , I think you have just opened a pandora box. a new genre. I really liked your podcast about Jita 4.4 at least I used it as a podcast. just your voice in a background. look man, try to find a qualified guy with animation skills. maybe you can create a cartoonish story about lonely guristas pirate.

[@captainbenzie]

Haha that'd be awesome and glad you're enjoying!

[@lazloholyfield9902]

Like it, lore is interesting

[@captainbenzie]

Thank you

[@justryanmurphy]

Ok, fun. Kind of into that one!!

[@captainbenzie]

😊

[@davidmanhire5532]

Enjoyed the tour, structure's look awesome. Liked the format, shame you missed the survival part 😢 always record everything to catch those gems! 😃 so that's a thumbs up for both formats 👍👍your a content beast!

[@captainbenzie]

Haha thank you! And yeah, was sad that I'd JUST turned the camera off...

[@wires__]

This is cool as fuck, its almost like a scifi novel but with visuals.

[@captainbenzie]

It's a beautiful system!

[@smoore6461]

Wow, i can't believe I did not notice this video before! This was great! I love lore videos! This was a great video! What a beautiful location. Im a big fan of the role play as well! Great work, sir. o7 very cool indeed !!

[@captainbenzie]

Thank you very much!

[@Zardozz_Cognoggin]

Megalithic asteroids or remnants of former planets?

[@captainbenzie]

Quite possibly!

[@Zardozz_Cognoggin]

With no planets in system... much had to become fulcrum @@captainbenzie

[@emiritaus4754]

Should I make a quick trip out there?

[@captainbenzie]

There's very little to actually do there right now, but it is a stunningly beautiful system!

[@gojuadorai]

i was waiting for more jove contend practically since i started eve over 15y ago i hope they dont exploit it too fast but also not too slow.

[@captainbenzie]

Pretty exciting!

[@ethanrichards1815]

Good stuff. I like the direction you're taking. Keep'em coming. :)

[@captainbenzie]

Thanks, will do!

[@versinussyrin577]

That place will get camped 24/7. I dont see a point to go there now, unless if i want to die fast It looks nice tho Would 100% crash my game over and over for hours, just like after viridian came lol

[@umadbroimatroll7918]

It's almost impossible to camp currently, the gates are like 100km and you will spawn withing 200km after jumping gate. No bubbles, so you cant get stuck as long as you warp and dont juat meander around

[@captainbenzie]

Lots of good PvP happening 😉

[@kenrq63]

I quite like this type of commentary episode. Question for you Captain Benzie: did you change your microphone settings somehow? This episode sounded a bit echo-y.

[@captainbenzie]

Yeah I did, maybe went too far 😅

[@davidnobular9220]

Maybe he should feed it through a guitar amp and add some heavy rock tone. BTW what happens if you fly into that black hole ?

[@BoinkrNanis]

"Ocator" - "ohk-a-tor" lol

[@captainbenzie]

I know. My character doesn't.

[@Zardozz_Cognoggin]

Directly above the station is range enough to recloak

[@captainbenzie]

I wasn't sticking around long enough to find out! 😂
