Can we get a solid definition on expansion? And elaborate on the difference of those and patches.

Expansions are shiny new stuff and patches are to make the shiny new stuff workSmile

I think an expansion that fixes everything (and expands on a few others) would be the best ever. It doesn't need completely new stuff, we've been getting semibroken new stuff for years and CCP can't keep up with the fixes.

Best thing that should come from the winter expansion is the tech moon rework, consistently many factors are proving that it has such a huge impact on the actual dynamics of the game that it needs fixing.

Love em or hate em, we can again thank goons for proving this.

Also in doing so complete the half done expansion we just received.

As someone mentioned earlier the expansion will propably be about Dust. Not much shiny content for EvE except all Dust stuff. Sounds good to me

As the old saying goes quality before quantity. As a small list of things which should be looked into and fixed before andy more expansions are to be released, which there is sure to need more added.

1. Merc Marketplace

2. New wardec system and loopholes

3. The new modules that were added / promised (drone damage module seems decent)

4. Incursions (lets face it you killed ole yellar and burned his corpse)

5. Factional warfare ( Have no personal experience on this but have heard dissent about current setup)

6. The unified Inventory (need i say more, tho devs has responded saying they are working on it.)

etc etc

This list can go on and on But These are just off the top of my head.

winter exp will focus on more integration between dust and eve guarantee it also fixing bugs etc is the role of patches not expansions

Since it is now three years since the last expansion which actually gave us new stuff to do in a spaceship, I'd be ok with another one this winter. 2 "fix" expansions in a row is enough. We're due a gameplay expansion now, I think.

Winter expansion will be about connecting EvE with Dust.

I wouldn't mind getting one expansion every year instead of the two. Having two releases within each year seems to divide and shift development focus quite a bit. I suppose there's nothing wrong if improvements are consistent from expansion to expansion. It should always be a progressive thing instead of implementing features here and there sporadically. I guess we'll see how CCP's new development process works out by the end of the year. If the winter expansion can have a similar or greater effect than Apocrypha or Crucible, then perhaps that marks success -- and in that case, I won't mind getting a small summer expansion and a large winter one.

Honestly, CCP is working on rebalancing every ship. So for a while its going to be that as the main focus (or should be).

It is likely that the next expansion will be an expansion of our latest expansion.


Rebalancing is a nice way of saying, nerfing just as "enhanced security at airports" means, less freedoms.

Let's have more shinies, new POSes and more incarna ****. Because yarr. Pirate

"We will create the introduction thread if that is requested by the community. Also, we will have an ISD Seminar about the CCL team in the coming weeks in which you can ask your questions about the CCL team and provide some constructive feedback to us." - Countless pages of locked threads and numerous permabanned accounts later, change is coming.

Many of the folk I know in-game would happily forgo an 'expansion' to see the many faults with the game mechanics fixed.

I would prefer that CCP stop releasing biannual 'expansions' (I suspect that having committed to a release date explains the unfinished state of the inventory system) in favour of a steady release of smaller, but game ready improvements.



heck I'd be happy if they didn't add new mechanics that need fixing. or that break mechanics that weren't broken.

It's total bullcrap players doesn't want WiS - I am player and I want it. Also check all those avatars on forums: some of those people spent hours sculpting their faces and I'm 100% sure many of them will be more than happy to demonstrate their presence in common halls to other players.


Also adjust captain quarters with anything. New clothes, heads in jars - whatever. Not to mention windows in stations. And common halls (again)

tbh i wana see WiS proper as in u see other players it wud be interesting but shud have the option to not go tht far tht door seems like the bridge. imo its just something extra some people can enjoy which others dnt have to it doesnt effect dev time tht much its just a case of designing the interiors adding actionable items ie doors etc and making it public job done i think

There needs to be a winter patch/expansion.

Industrialists and afk prone players need something to look forward to.

Prospects for non headset wearing fleet pvp types have a bleak outlook at the minute Sad
