You shouldn't try to do two things at the same time because you will end up doing a poor job at both of them which will be a complete waste of time.

You should instead focus on just one thing and do it right.

CCP is now doing the right thing by focusing on SPACESHIPS and not BARBIES.

That also means BARBIES has just became a vapourware, like SO MANY OF THE OLDER FEATURES.









What I want to say is CCP please keep doing the spaceship game thanks. Leave the barbie alone.

Where did it go? I still have CQ :P

So many people like the idea of walking around in stations. But you aren't alone either, lots think like you do.

But tell me, why do you think CCP should do what you say?
Why should they limit their game to just FiS?
Can't think of something cool you'd like to be able to do while in station?

I dunno, i was thinking, with 600 employees (or is it 500 now) you would be able to do 2 things at the same time.

WiS is alive and well, just postponed a bit longer untill all the "Chicken Littles" calm down.

Hopefully we see a Lobby or something in the near future so we can show off
our Monocles and the much anticipated Eye Patch.

I'm hoping for early in the new year.

Do you know what isn't gone?

Pages 2 and 3, where you will find roughly 80 kajillion threads on the same topic.

I am hoping you just forgot your sarcasm tags but in case you intended to be serious....

Where in the 'verse did you hear or read ANYTHING that suggests other than delivering the remaining CQs there is any additional plan in place to deliver more WiS??

If you read the big "H"'s interview it seems pretty clear there is no longer a commitment to futher Eve WiS development. If they had any intention of focusing on continued WiS development they would have moved WoD resources that were working on Carbon character stuff to the Eve team.

No, CCP has flipped the flop again based on the loudest whining and WiS is dead dead dead.

Ironically how the "chicken littles" you mention rocked the boat so hard it almost capsized ... oh look, water is still leaking, quick use the monocles to close the gaps ... is it working? Perhaps the eye patches can truly stop the water leaks, or more pants and new tranny dresses perhaps?

Careful next time the imaginary pieces of falling skies cut through the hull of your solid boat again. Who knows, perhaps a sailor moon set for the Nex Store might do something?

Just sayin' ...

I don't care about walking in stations, but I would be interested in gameplay in stations. Gambling, mind clash, that 3d whiteboard concept they talked about, new epic arcs spanning both flying and walking, DUST-integrated command and control, etc...

WIS is a good idea. I think in time it could be a large aspect of eve and open the game up alot to a new customer group which is good for all pilots. That being said the focus should be on spaceships and making sure spaceships that log off after jumping through a gate to avoid death die.

Another WiS feature I am hoping to see;

When it comes time to pay off or hire Dust players, I think it would be cool to actually have to meet them in person to make the exchange.

VERY well said. WiS is a worthy pursuit as long as there's meaningful gameplay involved.

They shouldn't simply dismiss WiS or put it on hold. A few tweaks or optimizations here and there are always welcome.

As soon as Captain's Quarters will consume the same GPU resources as the current ship hangar, only then will I completely switch to CQ.

People only see what they want to see, or what they're fear most.
You obviously only saw them focusing on the FiS stuff.
Someone else might have read that WiS is on hold until later (maybe a year) when it'd be okay for them to do more on it.
Devs have said, if you look for it, that they have lots of development built for WiS. Just waiting for how they intend to use it.

The devs led with that "we can't see how to make it fun' excuse but the recent interview with the big "H" makes it clear it is no longer part of the Eve focus. Also if it was the "slight stand down" you believe we would have devs on at least one of the popular threads on this topic trying to calm us down with the sort of "not gone but being rethought" you suggest.
