CCP does have some sense, which is why the players are kept in the loop as much as is reasonably practical. The community has shown time and again that we much prefer fuzzy tansparency to perfect opacity.

My heartfelt condolences that reality and the nature of running an MMO don't live up to your exacting standards.

So when are we going to start seeing 'new content' that one would expect from a new release/expansion.

Don't get me wrong, I love all the updates and improvements (never stop this part), but new stuff is great too.

What makes you think that updates, expansions and improvements to existing features is not 'new content'? They're adding something that wasn't there before, so it's new content, too, no? Personally I feel they should first finish updating, improving and expanding existing features before they start adding more to the pile. Solid foundation for the castle because a castle in the sky won't work and all that.

Agreed. I think CCP is on the right track with all these upgrades and improvements to core features of the game.

Because Far-que... That's why.

So hyperion is slated to August 26th? But you wont start talking about its additions till the 4th? Isnt that cutting it close?


As I know life, it will be 2 months after August 25th when it will be ready.

Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!

Counterpoint: We're basically playing the same EVE as we were the day after Incarna went live, it's just that about a thousand things that didn't bloody work then now do.

I'm super glad that all those thousands of things work much better than they used to, and I certainly agree that rescuing existant ships, modules and even activities from un-iterated uselessness is, in a sense, adding "new" stuff, but still. The fact remains that the last expansions that added a genuinely new thing to do were Tyrannis and Incursions, in 2010. (Incarna didn't add anything new to do which was the bloody problem with it in the first place)

Equally true is that we're not going to get anything genuinely new until 2015.

5 years is a long, long time for an MMO not to add anything. Don't get me wrong here - CCP are doing the right thing here, they've made the tough choice and I sure as hell want them to fix structures and sov and corps & alliances as urgently as possible.

But still.

5 years, man. That's a long old wait. I sure hope that CCP do a good job on that sov rework.
