EVE Online: Incursion boosts into stage one
"Engines?" "Go Flight!" "Life support?" "Go Flight!" "Brutal politics and savage mining in the dark, hard vacuum of space?" "Go Flight!" And thus, with a proud tear in the corner of our eye, we salute the liftoff of the first stage of EVE Online's latest expansion, Incursion. Although the expansion has been fractured into three parts to ensure quality -- with the second coming in mid-December and the third in January -- Incursion 1.0.0 is worth checking out for a brand-new salvage ship, the Noctis, and many game improvements and fixes. This patch is also notable for the increased amount of graphics options, including windowed mode, the ability to split the game between two monitors, and the introduction of anti-aliasing. You can read the patch notes at EVE Online, visit the Incursion website, and prepare yourself for the game-changer that is this expansion with the help of our very own Brendan Drain!
CCP releases EVE Online Incursion patch notes
EVE Online's Incursion expansion has been several months in the making. With the official release date drawing near (Tuesday, November 30th to be exact), CCP has graced us with the patch notes for the meaty update. While pod pilots everywhere are showering the Icelandic dev team with huzzahs due to the decision to abolish learning skills, New Eden is also undergoing some additional significant changes this week. The patch notes are broken into three sections (features, changes, and fixes), and are worth a read due to info about weapon and ammunition tweaks, market changes (specifically the removal of loan contracts), and a new salvage-specific ship called the Noctis. Finally, (and yes we do mean finally) CCP has added the ability to resize the game client in windowed mode. Check out all the details on the official EVE website.
Twittering from the World of Warcraft
Just in case you needed any more Twitter in your life (I'm getting to the point where I really don't), enter the PlayXpert Twitter widget, part of the PlayXpert gaming toolset, a free Windows application that you can download to run alongside your PC games (very similar to Xfire and that type of application). It's a little bloaty if all you want to do is run Twitter alongside WoW, but unfortunately, that functionality will never be available in an addon, as addons can't interact with any other outside sites.The poor man's solution here is to just run WoW in windowed mode and have your Twitter browser or client open right next to it -- you don't need a big application if you really need to be connected at all times. But if you want to livetweet your raid without sacrificing screen space to windowed mode, PlayXpert is one way to do it. It'll even do some autotwittering for you if you want.And of course if you're on Twitter already, don't forget to follow our WoW Insider Twitter account. We've already hit our goal of over 9,000 followers (and yes, a video version of the podcast is coming soon), but we're constantly throwing out little pieces of news, discussion and even some giveaways over there, so follow us if you're interested.
The Queue: Hawaiian Pizza edition
Welcome back to The Queue, WoW Insider's daily Q&A column where the WoW Insider team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Alex Ziebart will be your host today.Today, in addition to all of the questions I'm answering for you, I need all of you to answer a question for me. Hawaiian Pizza: Delicious, or Crazy Delicious? This is an important question, my friends. I need each and every one of you to contribute. It's for the good of mankind. Also, to prove my girlfriend wrong. It rules, does it not?%Poll-26965%Evaline asked...Are there any Ulduar achievements currently on the PTR? I'm guessing they aren't there yet, because we would have heard something about them if there were. Another question if I may, do the bosses on the PTR currently drop loot? Again probably not, for the same reason as above, but can't hurt to ask.
