EVE General Discussion

Maybe its time ,that management will give us a reason why some decisions are made,so the pitchforks don,t have to come out ?

But they can,t ,there is no reason not to show your customer base ,what they can do with the tech they are using .
The same tech we use to play this game.
the same tech that enables something that was talked about years by ccp .Did the devs bypassed management when they talked about ambulation?

I docked the other day and entered CQ. It had been quite a while since I had done so, but was glad I did. I had forgotten how...beautiful it is. I stayed there for a while going through my ships and walking around, admiring the scenery. As much as the vocal minority bang their drums against Incarna, the CQ really is well done for what it is.

Having an avatar and CQ adds a lot to the immersion of the game, which is important to me. I imagine it does the same for new players. I don't plan to go back to just the ship view, and look forward to CCP expanding on WiS in the future.

Actually I'm not sure where I got the idea from either.

I guess we're a bit desperate for some good news regarding Incarna in this thread. The little bits and pieces that have ended up on Tranquility are great don't get me wrong.

But you can't live on breadcrumbs alone.

Thanks for digging that up that 2006 devblog Gogela. They might as well repost it for the whiners in 2012.

Also, no dancing not ever woot!

...where's the fun in that?

Pretty interesting 2006 devblog, they had it right a mere 6 years ago. Anyway I disagree on dancing, I am elite, and I want to bloody waltz with some other elite. Haven't you seen the Imperials have fun in 'Legend of the galactic heroes'? That stuff is exactly what we need for the after battle. Sophisticate, decadent, we're billionaires and we got better things to do than shoot our faces in person, away from half a million tons of safety and a thousand expendable souls ready to be wasted for us and instead of us.

But then it's impossible to simply meet each other in person (oh my, what would happen? Players asking for more? Players inviting their friends to come and try the game and blast them off with the best 3D avatars in industry? And then... nothing else?).

You know, it pretty feels like CCP painted themselves in a dead zone: if they don't fix FiS they don't have a future, if they don't develop WiS they don't have a future, and they can't fix FiS and develop WiS at the same time. Pick your poison.

So they're taking the only road: they choose the slow death of not developing WiS to avoid the fast death of not fixing FiS, and hope for the best from DUST 514 and getting the resources they need to start gaining subscribers again... not with the same old crap, but with something different thta exploits a different niche.

"and they can't fix FiS and develop WiS at the same time."

Well that's the thing of it, isn't it? They can and they have to. I have a lot vested in this game. I've pulled a lot of BS and done everything but mine... mining is lame... ...but if they want to have the game take off they really do have to do both, don't they? WoD is sexy and cool... they could work that into eve if so inclined. We'd love it. The problem is "corporate" is clearly run by absolute idiots. We've all encountered the type in our day to day... bureaucrats better at getting promoted than leading or doing their fuc**** job... but that appears to be who is in charge. They don't care about the product... they care about their next promotion. There is vision within CCP. That's why we are here. Who's calling the shots? Not anyone of consequence. Hopefully CCP gets it together soon. There's a lot happening right now in game design. Every year it gets easier to eclipse eve. CCP better sh** or get off the pot... because the next big game is going to take them out if they don't. I mean... I'll be here playing eve on the day the servers shut down. They can let the game go to sh** and I'll still play. ...at least until I find a better game. ...at which point Gogela will trade his ships for other-game ships and call it good. The pressure is on... and it's only going to intensify every year. There is a great deal of pressure on CCP at this point in gaming history. I'm not convinced they see it. It doesn't matter ultimately though... I'm going to have fun regardless. I'd just rather that fun be had in this universe. ...but if not, maybe MSFT will come out with a Freelancer II, or maybe Bungie's Destiny will fill the gap. We'll see. Hope you pull a win out of you a** CCP.

True, in terms of where we are it is just after the big summer exodus in the office and internally we're marshaling together the plan for the next few months in terms of what we will put together and release. Sleeve tattoos are definitely on the list for consideration with a big star and lots of arrows pointing at it. When we know precisely we'll let you guys know.

Too bad hey can,t discus the reason why the blog is not coming to the forums

Hey Unifex ,i bet you can


Give us a very good reason , why?

Hmmm ,if you mean that this game is already a great game as it is ,yes then you are right

But the addition of WIS would make it even greater.
Too bad they only give the walking features to Dust ,a console game that should add something to EvE .

Maybe this wasn,t a CCP decision about the blog ,but one from Sony

Most of the recourses from CCP must be at Dust now .
They just gave all Eve subscribers a beta key .
