From ingame news article titled "Recent scientific breakthroughs bring cost of progress under scrutiny"

"Take Inferno, which The Scope must note does not exist in any official capacity. Rumors abound of this strange drug - that it is the result of digging too deep in the Sleeper coffins, and that it is being used to further the militaries' causes under the guise of science. Rumors also abound that it is an incredibly dangerous concoction that has ruined the careers of many who have taken it, and directly caused more than a few deaths."

I cannot tolerate the existence of a drug I haven't yet done. I shall have to obtain some.

Istvaan snorting Sleeper dust.

I want in.

[Milo Caman]

I find myself vaguely irritated by this article.

[Kybernetes Moros]

Well, yes, it's news concocted to introduce an expansion. Not known for its quality, unfortunately.

No telepathic heads of state, so you know. Count your blessings.

The reporter has obviously taken far too much Quafe, or Muck Raker is moonlighting for The Scope.

Either way:

The little "last post in this forum..." thing lists the title of the thread as "So... Inferno is a d..."

My brain autocompleted that as "dud." (Alternatively, "disgrace" and "disaster".)

Because godfuckingdammit CCP.

Bugs getting to you?

Personally love the local/corp ghost issue... and ofc, that my FUCKING INVENTORY KEEPS FUCKING POPING UP IN MY FACE EVERY TIME I JUMP/DOCK/UNDOCK. Annoying as all hell...

This crap is fixed in a day or two. Becaust things like this normally get's fixed in a day or two when a new expansion/major patch hits. And so far these are among the most annoying I've seen post-patch in EVE.

[Morwen Lagann]

No, what's getting to me is that CCP basically ignored each and every bug report and piece of feedback from the players testing on Sisi.

There are no fewer than seven breaking issues that were reported on Sisi ages ago that made it to TQ today in Faction Warfare alone. In addition to two more that popped up. Again, in FW alone.

That doesn't even account for the 18+ page thread about the Derpified Inventory on the Test Server Feedback forum that was basically players telling CCP the feature was NOT ready for release and was more regression and game-breaking than any possible progress it could bring. Or the repeated reports of incorrectly-assigned ship textures in the new V3'd Amarr ships (all Viziam and Carthum T2 ships have the wrong logos and color schemes on them - they incorrectly display as Ardishapur and Sarum, respectively), the horribly broken chat, etc.

This expansion is one thing, and one thing only: pretty.

It's a complete fiasco and let-down otherwise. The only launch worse than this was Incarna, and I was around for Trinity. And a victim of the boot.ini "oopsie". So that's saying something.

[Matariki Rain]

TBH, if they fix the chat ghosts and jump-pop-ups today or tomorrow, tidy up any major FW glitches before I get past "don't undock on patch day", and make wrecks and cans open faster (which might happen anyway once the servers are no longer struggling with ghosts), I'll be pretty happy. It'll take a little while to get comfortable with the inventory, but so far everything in it that's had me going "Huh: that sucks" has actually had a workaround, and usually a cunning one.

Mata, contentedly channelling Pollyanna

Same situation. I put in half a dozen bug reports this morning. Suggest peeps do the same as you find them. Am extremely miffed they didn't bother to fix the minor things that got reported weeks before release.

UPDATE: Seems they are responding to bug reports very fast at the moment. 3 out of the 6 I put down two hours ago have been answered. It usually takes weeks.

These latest articles by the Scope are full of rumours and speculation, and they don't follow the inverted pyramid structure we have come used to expect from modern news pieces. They feel more like 19th century reporting. Can this be just a coincidence or is Scope turning into sensationalism, following the example set by Gutter Press?

Whatever development this is, it seems to transcend ordinary New Eden journalism, and may instead be irrevocably tied to some independent development that may never see the light of day.

[Seriphyn]

I think it's more of a columnist, editorial, or opinion piece sort of article.
