General patch day for all related shenanigans
I'm wondering how many hours after school I'll spend in the character creator trying to make ghost look ghastly.
HURR power armor, do want so badly.

Today will be a good day.
After the 8 hours of wait time.

Unless Mammal wants to have dreadlocks, I guess he's getting a haircut.

Failure to recognize Freddie Mercury, even in a fanart rendering of an anime rendering of the man, is grounds for expulsion from the cool kids club. Do you have anything to say in your defense?

Yes, your honor. Its impossible to capture Freddie Mercury's awesomeness on paper, marble, plaster, bronze, or any other human medium. This is common knowledge.

You're still guilty of insufficiently tuning your Mercury-sense, even in the absence of Mercury-win. But that is a point in your favor, so your sentence is reduced to community service and probation, so go search out and devour the media in which this version of Mercury is rendered: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cromartie_High_School

No, I found it on my voyages over the internet. It is pretty epic.

Is there a way to go back into character editing? Something tells me I should have practiced on Sisi.

I don't know if we're allowed to petition, might want to inquire.

You are far, far, far from the only on that have encountered that.
Honestly i am finding the available selections dissapointing in the extreme. So many, many identical clones. Oh well....next step- abolish the mepires and make it all neutral...
-
You cannot go back once you have saved. When you save, the photo that is currently highlighted becomes the license picture. You can petition for a character generator restart, but they ask that you try and avoid, because new patch -> lots of petitions.
Ref: CCP post on e-o forums I read earlier today but CBA to find now.

Well, I just got off work, and now I'm sitting in a public library DLing the patch so I can go home and actually install it on my computer. So I'm hoping it doesn't corrupt at some point, because I only have a few minutes left before they close and DLing it at home... that isn't really much of an option considering the way the wireless has been acting :bash:.
Too all of you that were able to DL and play with it already... =p
-
Argh! Those cheekbones!
Cheekbones are probably the least cooperative part of the editor, aside from the avatars' insistence on moving around constantly.
Spent over an hour today trying to get something at least close to this (http://go-dl1.eve-files.com/media/corp/mlagann/2011.01.18.02.29.18.jpg) from last night, but the best I could get was this (http://go-dl1.eve-files.com/media/corp/mlagann/2011.01.18.19.13.59.jpg) instead after an hour or more of tweaking just the cheekbones alone. (Ingame version here (http://image.eveonline.com/Character/462207810_512.jpg).)
Going to wait a day or two before I petition for a do-over so I can play with the editor more to see if it wasn't just CCP silently tweaking the skeletal structures again and not me screwing up somewhere.

Patched, and Inara is created with... minimal change. You heard that right, very little change from Old to New; she's just spent a bit more time at her planetary estates and got a little bit of a tan.

In case someone hasn't read the newest devblog: http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=846 (http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=846)
Character creator will change a little bit. Everyone will get one more shot. Unclear when, but I'd assume this is sooner than the appearance of tattoos and stuff (which will trigger another free portrait modification chance).

Good news. The 'save' button was highly ambiguous and I'm not surprised at all that some people were caught out by that.
-
(https://image.eveonline.com/Character/1705492410_512.jpg)
Open your profile picture in a new tab (right click, on IE, you'll have to choose "properties" and copy the URL). It will have two numbers (like 123456_200.jpg). Change that second number to 512 and hit enter.
For anyone who didn't take screenshots during creation. Though when we get the chance to re-do avatar/profile pic we can take v high res pics then.
-
Also a victim of 'save' not meaning 'save.' Difficult without being able for Silas to have darker skin, jewelry, or the same clothing. Will have to work on it!

Upwards of 100 screenshots taken during character creation crew checking in. 8)
I'm kind of wondering if there is a higher resolution than 512 hidden somewhere on eve-gate. Would be nice, though I suspect there isn't one in the end.
Pretty happy with the editor overall. I've liked all the ones I've created so far, though sometimes they take a ridiculous amount of time to get right. I'll just post Misan here, the rest are on my blog: http://blog.eve-rokkr.com/new-portraits.

Small correction to your blogpost:

rather than

Thanks, probably didn't catch it as I was copying it quickly over from my alliance boards.

Well done Misan.

All these new avatars are just lovely. Even better, I'm seeing a lot of variation in the posing and framing of the snapshots on IGS; Ikarus Gaul and Aphoxema G really caught my eye. It's great! Sadly, my computer is physically unable to get through chargen. I may finally have to shell out for an actual graphics card :cry:

I am really pleased that my Baatsu gamble worked out.

At the risk of sounding extremely rustic... the 'local' gaming cafe is, as far as I can tell, out of state. And 2-3 hours away. Besides, I need a new card, I'm using the NVidia 7100 integrated chip that came with the box, it can hardly run Eve anyhow.

Probably Cache. Give it a day or so. Server has always been derpy with portrait changes.

Oh yes. Old new Ko had so many small things wrong that added up to bleh, including a glowing blue neck that looked like she'd escaped from Tron. It was mostly because I was afraid to play with the portrait page on the first try. After taking the time to really play around while making my space trucker alt, I learned a lot of good little tricks - especially that you can recycle the four snapshots - trying different lighting, poses, and expressions with changes big and small, keeping the ones you like best each time until you find 'the one' like a professional photographer. CCP StevieSG's own looks like a personal photo, which impressed me.
I'm happy to say that diplomatic relations with my neck and face are reset to neutral, they're not blue anymore.

I wish I had more characters to play with. It's a lot of fun.

So, I know everyone just loves their new faces (I know I do!), but of note are the changes to PI. The changes are not incredibly radical, but they will have an impact on the market.
I recently went through and re-organized my existing colonies. As a result of the changes made to extraction, my colonies now have more power and CPU to use, take less time to manage, and may even find some efforts consolidated & upgraded.
I anticipate a decline in the cost of lower end materials once the supply increases based on the changes Incursion has brought.
For those who need a steady secondary personal income and do not want to have to manage it daily, PI now appears to be a viable option.
-
Has anyone else noticed that the Gallente bloodlines have the widest range of diversity in terms of how they look?
You can get male ethnic Gallente to look Brutor, and female Jin-Mei to look pretty non-Asian etc.

Yes. It definitely takes some getting used to, but it's far less unpleasant to do. My only complaints are that it shouldn't automatically reload the last resource you extracted, since I manage fairly complex chains that require switching resources on a fairly regular basis, and that there needs to be an input box for how long you want the program to run. That slider sucks.
