EVE General Discussion

This isn't the kind promise that CCP can break by this point, IMO. Their past history on individual issues is irrelevant as far as I am concerned.

This is not the kind of issue they could promise us at this point in time and not deliver on, IMO.

Yea, it would be colossal, and I was never really partial on whether they ever brought ship spinning back to begin with personally, but now that they have made fairly tangible promises, I too would be sorely disappointed if we did not actually see this implemented as they are telling us it will be, i.e. being able to choose whether we decant or not.

I will choose to not decant by default personally as Incarna is nice and all... relatively speaking, but I've always been more interested in the spaceships in this space opera of ours, the fact that CCP wants to make it a full fledge science fiction masterpiece is nice and all, but I can go rent a movie for that, so here in game, I would prefer to undock in ever more fascinating ships into every more fascinating and evolving game mechanics and starry backdrops, in space.

But, that's just me who knows... maybe pink panties will be introduced at some point... I certainly wouldn't complain if they released them to the NEX store and female avatars walking around in bars suddenly started sporting them, ...

Sounds just like eve tbh. The only reason we dont see blood and gore is because we vaporise the squishy stuff

I miss the nude skin pack you could get for the first Unreal Tournament, good times!



Erm, you may or may not be using some hyperbole here, but at best I would give it another 5-10 years personally.
Even if they could prolong the life cycle of the game beyond that, in all likelihood their focus would inevitably shift to another project at some point, though I am doubtful it will be WoD, who knows.

I highly highly doubt that EVE will be their core project for more than twenty years, if anything, they would redevelop it from the ground up at some point.

Projects like these inevitably get too big to maintain continually over time once you add enough overhead to them, and without the fairly limitless resources of company's like say Blizzard for instance, the likelihood that CCP will be able to simply add expansion after expansion for even more than ten years from present is highly unlikely, esp. if the subscription rates remain relatively small in the grand scheme of things, i.e. under half a million subscribers.

Eventually the game itself and the overhead will no longer be supported by the cost structure that the subscriber base provides for it, hence why we are possibly seeing the first rumblings of MT and non-vanity items in our precious space opera.

CCP already said it in not so many words, they wanted to provide us with a ton of new clothing and amazing variety, but they just could not justify the expense and time it would require of the art teams, so instead they are giving us some NEX items, and if we seem interested enough in making use of the NEX, they will then fund that revenue into the art projects and pump out even more materials, ... possibly at lower prices, I would hope...

Anyways, business acumen, it's not for everyone!

Separating business and pleasure, not something the average gamer seems capable of, which is either a good thing, or a very very bad thing, depending on how you look at it.

NEWS FLASH

FIS engine was and is a prototype.

So we all have been testing it for years now.

Old news, hints why developers make engines and frameworks. <3 Carbon Framework.

I cannot help but notice the lack of BLUE on this thread.

Posting in a butthurt rant thread about how the game is "over" & no-one should be playing it.
