Thank you


For new content 3. Would have had a 4 if they had listened to the feedback from colour blind people

For new scanning 4. It still has some limitations but I'm really liking it.

For the changes to POS's 4. it's a good start but there's more work to do on that.

For the changes to ships and skills 3. I like it when they shake things up

For the changes to resources etc . 5. It creates new open doors and breaks the Goon/PL monopoly on Tech, which EVE really needed.

For the nice touches to make EVE look good, 5. The new FX are great

For the stability of the patch coming out of the gate.... 2. It was certainly better than usual and I know testing has its limitations but still.... There's still lots of room for improvement there.

On the whole, 4. Very good work and well appreciated!

It wouldn't be fair for me to rate the patch because I've barely had time to play it, but there have been some absolutely first class tears on the forums, so I'm optimistic.

(I have managed to use the new CNR for PvE for 2 whole missions and it's significantly better than it was, so I guess op success on that individual feature. Oh and I like the cool scan sweep thing you get on jumping into a system. That looks sexy as hell.)

Apocrypha gets a 5

Odyssey: 3.5 (I'm being generous, as Odyssey is way superior to the last few updates)

Any colour you like.

I'll just rate the features I've experienced so far.

Ice Mining changes: 7/10

Truly hilarious to see people swooping down on ice fields like starving vultures (really makes me want to start ganking, since it's a 100% guarantee of victims). As a concept it shakes things up with regards to POS'es. It does seem as though it may need to be tweaked a bit once there's more data in.

Ship revamps: 7/10

Some I like, some I dislike. Overall, especially with the smaller ship classes, I like them.

Exploration 8.5/10

Like the new modules, like the skill changes. Like hacking. LOVE the new loot can models. LOVE the new scanning. Not sure about the skill changes.

Visuals 8/10

Love the new jump animation. Love the new Apoc model. Hate the undock button.

[Edit: God, I'm a graphics whore... Shocked

You have to break it up a bit.
Most of the visual stuff: 2 (looks fancier, but makes the game alot more annoying)
Moving the undock button: -10
Real changes like moving ice to anoms, ship rebalancing, mineral rebalancing: 4


I agree, breaking it up gives a better representation of the overall success of Odyssey.

Most of the visual stuff: +3 (I still want to see the hi-def textures)
Gate Travel animation : +5 (Sorry for those who suffer motion sickness)
Moving the undock button: -1 (This was a terribad idea)
New Music in nullsec : +5 (I have heard 3 new tunes thus far, got names for these please CCP ?)
Radial menus : +5 (Brilliant, this was long overdue, love the radial menus)
New Sounds : +5 (anom sounds when you mouse-over, new station sounds)
Real changes like moving ice to anoms, ship rebalancing, mineral rebalancing: +4
Exploration : +4

1.5

Being teh freightergankbear automatically puts you below missionbear and minerbear in carebear hierarchy.

If you're about to make "this will make eve un-eve" argument, odds are you are defending some utterly horrible mechanics against a good change.

3. Meh.

Gate animation that's jumpy on my machines, site labels with text flowing over each other. No other substantial difference that I have noticed apart from probing - just tweaks and bug fixes that aren't actually 'expansion'.

Even though Odyssey has little existing content for me personally, I would still have to evaluate it a bit below 4.

give it a 3 because as a Major Expansion it was a let down, for the last year all they have done is rework old stuff & give us better graphics and a few reworked ships, think it's time for new content like WIS, Moon Mineing more interaction with Dusties.

Most of this stuff that they have done should of been part of some new content.

I would give it a 2.5 because most of the changes aren't bad in themselves. It just feels too lightweight for a major expansion. In my opinion, Odyssey is an "expansion in a bottle", if you know what I'm saying.

EDIT: and since the traditional expansion-themed login screen was discontinued, it doesn't feel like I am playing a new expansion either.
