EVE Information Portal

I must admit, tis is good :D

Empty blogs... lets see those CSM minutes.

I would like to see something happen with Incarna as well, but you are not making a convincing case; you're just complaining about how terrible EVE is going to remain until you get the walking in stations system that you want. I will not be easily convinced, nor hopefully anyone in charge at CCP, that now is the time to make such technical investments. What vision are they supposed to work towards? What are the features supposed to do? How is it supposed to make the Eve Universe bigger and better for new and old players alike? Until someone can answer those questions legitimately, while working within the confines of available resources so that CCP's Flying in Space investments and investment capabilities will not be compromised, CCP should not be adding any WiS features.

Well, it's good to see thet there is a hope to see eve actually evolving in the way of the sci-fi universe.

For me, bad thing about eve is that is focusing only on combat, and mostly PvP combat.

Thare is no people in CSM that i choose. And most of them are 0.0 players - no wonder we don't have support for the new content like WiS, mining, real exploration of space and planets, maybe solo gameplay alternative (it's good that there is a lot of oppertunities for groups in this game, but why we are forced to do it ALL OF THE TIME by the lack of content for solo payers? I like to be in a group sometimes, but i'd like to have my own interesting things to do, so i will turn the chat off and actually relax of all this other people's problems and bullshit, and feel myself as a captain of my own ship).

And the players who wants more than just this PvP game are playeng less, and caring less about the forums and stuff. I'm dropped this game in 2011 and didn't seen anything interesting enough to return since. But i'm active subscriber - i wonder is that is all that mater for CCP...

So in the end we have the impression that spaceship combat is all that all people want.

Oh, there are some Incarna guys on this page. Why are they always ignored by CCP? There is a lot of interesting things that can be done through the avatar gameplay. Or the 0.0 goverment will cry again?

While it is good to see devs pop up and say something, both these recent dev blogs are pretty vague.

Let's get those CSM minutes out so we can have some "meat". Hopefully, at least those long time players that won trips to Iceland will know what we really want to hear (if they are not too busy RPing space politician and pretending they actually have pull or pushing only what thier club members want)

By meat, I mean actual directions and goals and what we can plan to see.

And the risk of such an approach is that whilst everyone gets a bite to eat, no-one feels satisfied.

Well the proof, as always, is in the pudding (aren't food analogies fun?)

I'm about 99% sure about the answer to this question, but due to an alliance mate who only has Reading Comprehension up to Level II and who is trying his best to be a pain in the ass (or a troll), could I please get an answer to this question:

Does this announcement (in any way) mean that the BC balancing/skill split will now happen on Feb 12th instead of this summer (as announced by CCP Fozzie)?

thanks in advance to anyone who bothers to answer that stupid question

I found the terms "awe-inspiring look" in the blog. You ain't got it yet. You have a large development pathway ahead of you to accomplish "awesome" amd/or "inspiring".

SWTOR :: you can ride your speeder into an airlock bay, and look out into the nearby space. You will see all manner of NPC ships, both statically anchored and dynamically flying about. There are system accurate celestial bodies in the background, like twin or triple moons, a red or yellow star. This in only one simple example. There is no comparison at all. EvE graphics feel/look like something ancient on my hi-end graphic card. PI ??? What a total joke graphically. Planets/moons are okay. Zoom mechanics for ships suck bad. You guys have a long way to go to get to a point that modern graphics cards are actually utilized. It's not just in the polygon count.

As for the sounds in EvE :: retro '50's push-two-organ-keys-with-formants sounds per Retribution. Nothing at all even remotely modern. The sounds we have now do not in any way approach quality. The dental drill flagging alarms simply suck and are motivation to quit EvE all by themselves. They need to be ditched.

As a concept, sounds need to have (at least) an abstract connection to the function being executed. We harvest/open a wreck and we get organ keys. Why not make it some kind of servos opening a big metal box kind if sound ? Too expensive to develop? Then you can expect complaints like the one I am writing.

Awesome. Inspiring. You guys have a long way to go based upon comparison with other modern games.

Quit the ******* back-patting, and get to work developing something modern.

See CCP Fozzie's post here for your answer: Battlecruiser Point Release

I see your point, but my opinions have been scattered widely all over the forums since Incarna. i also have got my own trolls ("Barbiesinspace" Ghazu and "Habbohotel" Scatim helicon among others) to slander them.

Yet let's paint it this way. Incarna was released without asking players what did they want. And since then, CCP still hasn't asked players what do they want for WiS. They've come as far as to develop a kind of prototype that involves exploration, dungeon raiding and even FPS (the less they talk about it, the weirder it looks in my imagination), and yet nobody in CCP start a devblog and ask "What shall we do with avatars?".

They don't even interact with the community, as there's a few threads going on and essentially CCP devs can't bother to come and say "hi" as if they were giving a **** of the whole matter.

So, "What shall CCP do with avatars?"

So far I can provide a short list of don'ts:

Don't make them compete with nullsec for risk/reward, else they will be slain as happened to incursions and Level 5 missions.
Don't make them "theme park ride" as that don't belongs to EVE (that's my biggest irk with the "prototype").
Don't make them "group enjoyable only" as that won't adress the issue of solo players.
Don't make them "second job-ish" as that won't adress the issue of casual players.
Don't make them "combat PvP only" as spaceship content massively fills that niche to exhaustion.

Abridged version: do not make avatars "more of the same".
