EVE Online 18.05 patch notes show Shield and Armor tiericide

EVE Online 18.05 Patch Notes

EVE Online 18.05 is here. There’s actually quite a few major changes coming to EVE in this update, so pay attention. Players will finally get to see how the Triglavian storyline wraps up. CCP has announced that Triglavian Invasion Chapter III will go live today. EVE Online 18.05 also has a bunch of gameplay-affecting tweaks in store. The biggest of these is that a new layer of module tiericide has been applied to the game.

The practice of module tiericide is something CCP has been working on for some time. EVE Online 18.05 will continue the practice, this time while focusing on Armor and Shield modules and rigs. Players will find the full list of changes in the patch notes below, but the big hits come down to this. Armor and Shield Hardeners, along with the rig group for buffing armor and shield resistances, have been renamed. CCP is doing this to make it easier for new players to understand what these modules actually do. This change also comes with a rework of the meta levels for certain items.

Alongside the module tierice, comes a major rework of all the main stats for many of these items. The Meta levels of the gear are often used in fittings to let players know what general power of the module they can expect.

Finishing up these changes comes a bunch of stat changes. Faction drops across the board have had minor changes in their stats. All of the named “purple” modules that drop from rare spawns have been tweaked as well. Mostly the values on these items effects have been buffed.

Those interested in the finer details can find the full patch notes below. You can also see the full patch notes on the official site.
