EVE Online: Epic Arcs Added

The EVE Online development team is always hard at work for players. Since Apocrypha debuted, the busy folks have been hard at work on epic arcs for each of the major factions. Grab more info below:

Redefining Missions

Epic arcs are a different breed, a different style of mission altogether, and as such require the player to approach them from new angles and perspectives. Fundamentally, these current epic arcs we're releasing are equivalent to level 4 missions in difficulty, possibly a bit harder than most level 4s. However, you should not approach them as if you were grinding "Worlds Collide" or "Damsel in Distress" from your agent's base in Dodixie. You are not playing disparate scenes chosen from a random list by a chatty robot in a space station. No, sir.

Instead, you are playing an immersive story, with dramatic arcs, unique characters, and an ebb and flow of dramatic events (including that fan favorite, story branching). You, as a player, are engaging in a persistent story handed to you by characters with motivations, desires, and personalities unique to them. The missions are scenes of a longer narrative, and the drama unfolds not only in the agent window, but through the action you experience in deadspace.

This is a comprehensive look at the epic arcs so don't waste a minute before heading over to read the rest.
