EVE Online Patch Notes: Horizon Siege Point Changes And Other Fixes

Looking at today's patch notes for EVE Online, I see one main theme: Horizon Siege Points. This limited time content is associated with the current live event, The Siege of Zarzakh. I imagine the siege will continue up until the release of the winter expansion so fixing pain points is probably worth the development effort.

The first change is increasing the rewards Horizon Siege Points hand out for fighting the Drifters.

Features & Changes:

Gameplay:
  • Increased the meta levels of Officer modules dropped from Horizon Siege Point sites.
  • Increased the bounty values of named Drifter NPCs in Horizon Siege Point sites.

I know that 2 of the 3 defect fixes associated with the user interface are associated with the event. I'm guessing that the desyncing issue is also, although if the fix applies to all timers I'd say the fix is very welcome.

User Interface:
  • Info Panel objective timers will now take time dilation into account and no longer become desynced with the server.
  • Allecto's Modified Medium Multispectrum Smartbomb will now appear within the Officer section of the market.
  • Fixed meta level and group information not appearing correctly for Officer modules dropped from Horizon Siege Point sites.

I'm not sure the developers really wanted to fix this next issue as it proved EVE does indeed have sound.

Audio:
  • Very loud jumpgate atmo is no longer sticking to users' ships.

The next fix concerns an issue with the Metenox Moon Drill. Considering the amount of traffic I receive from people looking up the feature, this fix is probably very welcome to logistics players in null sec.

Gameplay:
  • Fixed an issue which would prevent Metenox Moon Drills from being successfully anchored on incredibly large moons.

And finally we come to fixing an issue with Homefront Operations. I wonder if the issue arose from the Deepflow Rifts event.

Homefront Operations:
  • The mine objective no longer appear during the initial set-up timer in Abyssal Artifact Recovery sites.
