EVE General Discussion

this, online, please?

here's your list of features

i remember making a post not too long ago saying jokingly "CCP, break that piggy bank and buy Egosoft, before they get too big." it's still not too late.

to think we spent months debating last year, whether the player base is willing to make a sacrifice and go for a year, or more, with no content updates in exchange of having all the dev time devoted to a deep, and complete POS/outpost overhaul. and the last word was "we will leave POSes on the back burner, because of... priorities."


and here we are, a year later, no news on POSes, except some minimal changes, that change nothing. tiercide was great, but a small change. t2 changes? hardly a priority, ice? nice change, makes the game more healthy. moon goo? good.

all in all, nothing close to the monumental task of opening up W-space, SOV changes, T2 production, and later on T3 production... doesn't take a genius to see that you are running on a skeleton crew while keeping most people busy working on something else. can we see it?

please?

is it a Modular POS? can we dock in it? is it something for us industrialists? something nice for invention maybe?

it it something cool that serves no other purpose than being "cool"? because, unlike what some people think, if its not cool, then the feature is not good.

and if nothing on POSes was done, you guys do know that it wont get any easier as time goes by, right?

the nerds are restless.

Mother of god that looks amazing

Looks like a mesh of BSG, Eve Online, Blade Runner and most futuristic space based sci-movies.

I do wonder if EVE would ever survive its jump away from its current spreadsheet like gameplay.

Would EVE ever be able to become a game where you dont need an overview to play the game?

Would people still want to play the game this way?

Either way, this does look amazing.

If that's an MMO, it'll alpha EVE right off the field...

It isn't the graphics, it is the promis they are making. And if they can maintain those promises with the same level as the hype is, then it will make Eve, old.

I can think of not one game that kept to it's promise over the last 10 years when finally launched ... really not one .Your living in the fairyland of early gaming where they allways surpassed their promises .

Best thing is to see it as a gouvernment , lots of promises and 'some' actually get implemented while most keep floating around as soontm .

…so… will it have any actual gameplay, or just be an exercise in scripting (and abusing the lack of out-of-sector simulation detail) like all previous games in the X series?

Leggo my Eggo!


...oh, one "g".

Well, according to Malcanis, CCP does have a plan for EVE. I am taking that as in: "we are at the end of the post-incarna plan and just look at what it has delivered".

My pet fear is that they've reached a complexity peak and can't make the game any more complex without inacceptable risk of breaking it. And rather than move 90º from "core" gameplay and expand the gameplay space, they've aligned themselves to "core" gameplay literally to death.
