EVE General Discussion

Players using PLEX to fund it WILL raise PLEX price. Simple supply and demand. So why should those who are not very interested in walkiing in stations have to deal with higher PLEX price so that some spacerich player can show off his NEX store items on a station?

No let it be classic crowdfunding with real funds. If enough can be raised for the team to work on the feature without a dime or minute removed from normal EVE development.

Incarna is worth pushing down the toilet.

The problem is: Incarna was WiS /and/ the NeX.

WiS could quite happily exist without any microtransactions.

I am all for WiS! If we had wis, i could get my dad to try out this game! we need to stop working on fis for a minute and make some bars, lounges, corp offices, views of outside station, markets, etc....like second life but without the zebra penises!

They (CCP) still seem to be looking for some justification for leaving ships. They are going to make similar errors again.

Here's an idea CCP, just make a big empty room, and if for performance reasons only 64 people can go in at a time, so be it. There doesn't need to be anything in that room but its own chat channel.
Just start making it work at the basic level and go from there.

Stop shooting at the moon. Stop trying to run in stations when you've not even yet learned to (let us) walk in them.

Oh look someone else like me confirming my beliefs that finishing WiS would give Eve more players, I only stayed this time becuase of captians quarters and the immersion it gives. I can relate to a human character, not a piece of flying space metal.

Also thought I would mention I plan to pvp in low sec and 0.0 space on another character of mine, and not just carebear in highsec.

I support the idea of making WiS a social hub where players can interact with other players playing built in minigames, gambling, etc. I would link the video to of what CCP had in mind for one of the minigames but those videos got taken down.

I have $50+ ready for a sci-fi game with EVE-like quality of avatars and any non-boring gameplay such as common areas / halls with more than 1 toon in it, MassEffect-like quick arcade PvE and PvP shooting, pets or NPC companions, various NPC interactions (station services) - and some cosmetic items.

I don't need 100x100 battles, days-long epic quests, PvE grind, raiding and complicated loot progression - not going to treat game like alternative job.

Incarna isn't worth pursuing, because it has so many negative connotations associated with it. And rightly so, it was an aborted mess of an expansion.

If they want to gradually add more bits and pieces for immersion, then fine.

But don't slap it all together real half assed, throw in a cash shop, and call it an expac.

The simple fact is, that it has little if anything to do with the core mechanics of the game. You can get along perfectly well without ever going into the captain's quarters. There are people who hate it because it's useless.

However, it's also extremely unpopular for reasons that don't have to do with it being functionally useless.

So if you add functionality that is unique to WiS onto it, then it becomes mandatory, and the people who hate it because it's stupid won't like it.

There is no good choice here, so leave well enough alone, and don't poke the bear.

WiS is only worth pursuing if they scale back on the graphics and expand on the content/functionality. Otherwise it is a over polished turd that will fry anyones GFX card if the doors opened.

Obviously, you weren't even there. The biggest backlash came against the direction that CCP was going in for EVE regarding microtransactions. When CCP Helmar himself comes out and admits to, and apologises for, the faults of Incarna, you can't call the players who created the backlash "bs drama queens" anymore. Instead, you call them "right" and get down on your knees and beg their forgiveness for being so obnoxiously wrong.
