Star Citizen - Chris Roberts, lots of spaceship porn, lots of promises

Their Super Seekret test server, I believe, where the Star Citizen patricians play.

It’s a select group of elite testers (mostly whales, concierge backers, streamers) they release to first. It goes like this.

dev -> QA -> evocati -> public test universe -> live

Whew! Thanks for the clarification. I was wondering what all the “Evocati” was about.

BrianRubin · 2017-10-06T15:09:58.869Z

Geezus, and they called it “Evocati” like some fucking sports car? Gah.

Ginger_Yellow · 2017-10-06T15:12:11.852Z

Or Illuminati

Razgon · 2017-10-06T15:12:55.857Z

Isn’t Evocatii the race of people living on the Hutts home planet in SWTOR?

dsmart · 2017-10-06T15:39:10.674Z

No, Evocati is from the Roman empire. Plural for Evocatus.

BrianRubin · 2017-10-06T15:44:58.115Z

And my eyes can’t roll hard enough.

KevinC · 2017-10-06T15:57:14.528Z

Spoken like a poor pleb without access to Evocati!

jostly · 2017-10-06T15:59:54.615Z

So are the Evocati people who received refunds and then bought back in?

KallDrexx · 2017-10-06T16:15:17.102Z

Is Evocati under NDA?

dsmart · 2017-10-06T16:21:53.089Z

No, they have nothing to do with refunds. Pay attention. Also scroll up.

dsmart · 2017-10-06T16:23:00.354Z

Yes. But who cares? It’s always leaked anyway. Now more than ever, for a patch that was supposedly due out in Dec 2016.

It’s an unmitigated disaster. Complete meltdowns in the Evocati chat. “3.0 is a joke good that we test this first and the public can’t see this”

Oh for sure, just was wondering why I didn’t see any drama unfolding on reddit and everyone’s acting like i’ts going to be amazing once it gets on PTU.

Don’t you dare underestimate the power of the Kool-Aid.

That was probably a play on your Wikipedia link.

Evocatus (plural Evocati) was the Latin term for a soldier in the Roman army who had served out his time and obtained a discharge (Honesta missio) but had voluntarily enlisted again

dsmart · 2017-10-06T16:34:15.597Z

All concierge members will now be in Wave 1 for PTU access after the NDA phase

“Ah right - those unwashed peons who mearly bought a game and were told they could be alpha testers without restrictions - are suddenly told 4 years later - “********* you don’t belong here with us REAL testers”
Good mentality to have there.”

It’s almost as if since they started Evocati, I have been saying that it was a bad idea and just used to milk backers for more money. Yup, I did. Back in April 2016. Star Citizen - The Extinction Level Event

Ah, right. Yeah no, that wasn’t their context for naming it Evocati.

Maybe they should. Like Evocati II or Evocati Jr. or something.
Dammit, they need to reclaim that money somehow! Every dollar counts at this point!
(Should we be giving them ideas like this?)

jostly · 2017-10-06T18:56:38.353Z

I think the correct term for it would be “sucker”.
