EVE General Discussion

I'm sure WiS will make a comeback one day, but they've still got a ways to go to bring the space game up to scratch.

The reason most people who laughed at Incarna laughed at Incarna (apart from EVE's knuckle-draggers who have no sense of wonder) is because it wasn't multiplayer.

The "vision" of this being the world's greatest all-in s-f game including avatars (and not just WiS but ultimately groundfighting, and even aircraft battle, etc. as well) is still a worthy goal to aim at.

And I'm pretty sure it still is CCP's ultimate goal.

And that makes me happy, and inclined to continue supporting the game.

Or they could be working on optimising the WiS client - one would like to hope. I just bought a new video card, and I don't plan to do that again for 3 years or so.

CCP's main flaw seems to be the notion that adding improved versions of the UI (WiS, inventory system) equates that its precursors are obsolete and need to be purged from the system effectively forcing its playerbase to work with the new tools, whether it's desired or not.

Though this is necessary in certain instances, such as changes to the gameplay mechanics where players need to adhere to the same rules in order to create meaningful interaction, that's not always the case.The aforementioned examples of WiS and the new & improved inventory system are clear examples in which the choice ought to be left with the players.

If players desire to continue running the EVE client on their Commodore 64, they should have that option without being forced into the CQ. If they are unfamiliar with the practical applications of Windows Explorer they should still have the option to work with the old inventory system.
