EVE General Discussion

This thread hurts my head.


It's like someone took a Barrel of Monkey's, shook it all up and dumped them out into this thread - and ta daaa, troll heaven!

Apocrypha was released 2.5 years ago, March 2009. That's a long time ago. Apocrypha was a successful Expansion.


Expansions since then have, according to the community, been less than meeting expectations (this is pretty generally accepted).

Dominion - New Sov Mechanics - ya well, we see those are being totally revisited right now.

Tyrannis - PI - EVE Gate (Minimal usage until the forums arrived here) - Landmarks(ok?) - New Scorpion (Yay!)

Incursion - Sansha's Incursions (Highly used content - returned the Live Events team - released 3-4 months late) - Supercarriers (Total Disaster CCP is cleaning up today) - Incarna Character Creator - Noctis

Incarna - WiS. One CQ. Phase 1 of getting Incarna functional. New Turrets (Yay - Icons bad). Added new "emplacement" slots for salvagers and tractor beams to all ships, including missile boats - preempting the release of Missile hardpoints (Yay). Other than that, little new content. Oh, and the NEX (whatever. overpriced pixels.)

So of the last 4 expansions - the major success has been the Sansha Incursions. Incarna would have been awesome had they released all 4 CQ's, shown confidence in developing this feature and making us feel "At home" with it.


SO, any arguments anyone wants to make, the fact is the LAST TRULY completely ON-TIME successful Expansion was Apocrypha. One that was supported by Devs on payroll for DUST/WOD.

That statement only points out that the EVE Devs need more support and resources to do their job. Because without that support, their Expansions do not reliably succeed in a timely manner.
