Where do you think EVE will be next winter?

I'm putting my account into PLEX hibernation until December and I'm wondering what I might find when I come out.

Do you think WiS will be here next winter?

I'm really at a loss as what people think needs fixing in space, but do you think 'things' will be 'fixed' in space?

New space stuff?

I'm hoping for WiS, only because I've been strung along in varying degrees since 2007, but I know people want different things.

Not a tangible/playable version like you (and others) are expecting.

You should try doing something other than just running missions. There's probably enough stuff in EVE to fix for 2 years worth of expansions.


There's a million angry citizens looking down their tubes..at me.

It will be exactly the same as its always been

95% of the player base just playing the game and the other 5% on these forums moaning about it
I dont normally troll, but when i do i do it on General Discussion.

I honestly hope that WiS just dies off completely by next Winter. It serves no purpose. Anything that can be done in WiS can be done many times faster in the ship hanger and a lot easier as well. Plus walking slowly around a cramped cabin isn't exactly what I would call "fun". If it was at least entertaining for more than 30 seconds it would be worth it for CCP to continue developing it.

As for what needs fixing, most of it has been fixed but there are still A LOT of major things that need to be reworked. Insurance is still iffy, the bounty system has been worthless since forever, blasters are fixed but small and medium rails aren't, ISK inflation is getting out of hand and anyone can go on such a rant about this.

I don't want new space stuff, I would much rather prefer that CCP fix the stuff that is broken in space rather than introduce more broken features.

I think that in the Winter of 2012-2013 EVE will either be enjoying a lot of success from DUST or be heavily weakened and trying to recover from DUST.

If you're waiting for WIS then you'll probably have a long wait now seeing as it's been put on the backburner. This is a game set in space and that's what they're focussing on for now. They realise they got a bit ambitious with WIS and haven't been able to deliver so are repairing the damage done by fixing the game that people have been playing since beta rather than trying to hurriedly tack on something that was blown a little out of proportion in the hopes of gaining new accounts being activated.

WoW holds your hand until end game, and gives you a cookie whether you win or lose. EVE not only takes your cookie, but laughs at you for bringing one in the first place...

I imagine EVE will still be safely stored in CCP's servers and in player's computers and transfered across the internet next winer.

Hopefully EVE gets a good, solid expansion like Apocrypha.

Mm no, I'm not taking a break waiting on it.

Technically I've been "waiting on it" for almost twice as long as you've been playing. I'm glad you enjoy EVE though.

I don't have much faith it will ever completely come out actually. Though it's the only real thing I'm interested in right now as spreadsheets and KB whoring can only hold my attention for so long before I need breaks.

This thread was supposed to be about the game next winter, not an opportunity for attention whores to farm 'likes' by talking about how edgy their FiS 'attitude' is, I realized I probably confused most of you with the OP.

I guess I'll still be asking for that supposed hybrids rebalance expansion because seemed to me that small hybrids were the only ones concerned, as small frigs.

Then it's too far from now, you don't even know if you're going to die in your sleep tonight, die in a car crash tomorrow or whatever.
Today IS the day, enjoy each minute of it and the people you are with, everything else is meaningless.

It'll probably still be on the same server somewhere in London.

It will be pretty much like now with some Dust sprinkled on top.

I'm not farming likes or going on about the FiS attitude being edgy, that's just you reading what you want into my post. Personally I hope WIS sinks without a trace and all those who subbed or only play for that either appreciate the game like the rest of us do or go their merry way.

I think some players came to EVE from other games hoping it would be a little more like their old games with WIS and to some extent it's them that are constantly whining on the forums about how the game should change to suit them. Those players obviously aren't suited to this game and the overblown prospect of WIS is what brought them here. Not a good thing really.

5,000 more star systems, 50 new ships, 60,000 concurrent logins. That's if CCP is smart and keeps feeding us steady goodies. A community will rapidly stagnate without fresh goodies.

My words have turned into prophecy many times before. Let's hope I haven't lost my knack.

WIS just needs features where people can troll each other with not just verbal but with nonverbal communication too and when a player replies with CAPS, tears are rolling from his/her character's eyes. According to the forum posters, WIS will be the most beloved part of the game and CCP can focus more resources on the future WIS plans. How about that? :D

DUST514/Eve integration will be the main feature at about that time. It could be very interesting, or DUST could flop and the integration could be weak, time will tell.
