The difference is that Crucible didn't give us much content compared to the last three expansions: a couple of ships, some T2 modules and telling tasks not to give up so easily. It improved quality of life, but wasn't particularly heavy on actual stuff for the players.

Inferno gave us new wardec mechanics, an almost complete reintroduction of Factional Warfare, and a ton of ships; Retribution gave us new rat AI, new modules, Dust, and more ships than you can shake a stick at; Odyssey gave us yet more ships, exploration, a significant industry revamp, a massive skill revamp. Each on its own rivals Crucible and put together, they are definitely in the same league as Apocrypha.

Yes bro, i watched Seagull's presentation. Btw, next time u talk to her, tell her to take a deep breath and lay off the emo factor before talking about "the vision" and the plan for a plan to have a plan for a plan again LolLolLol so maybe we can understand what the hell is that about

You don't think maybe she was super nervous and passionate?

Not to mention that Retribution effectively gaves us a truck load of "new" ships by rescuing all those worthless, unused T1 frigates and cruisers, now enormously popular - a process that has continued since then to the point where people (in 0.0 anyway) are unironically talking about a Cerberus doctrine.

The Cerb for love's sake.

Nervous and passionate?!?! Yes I get your point.. i think maybe i'd be a little nervous too if i was talking about exploration and colonization of space knowing that 2 month's later i'd be delivering such a trashy Odissey "expansion" like that....

I do agree with something i watched Seagull say there tho " We do not want to simply add new systems filled with all the things you already know in EVE because that will be boring, we want to add something new" - with this i agree, you dont go on odysseys and explore and colonize places you already know and are explored/colonized. We dont want new empty systems filled with things we already know, thats right, what we want is new things inside the systems we already have.
Dont give us alliance buildable stargates to lead us to the same old boring content u already got all over New Eden. Put new things inside it instead

Compared to the previous iterations, I certainly would. You have to actually do some exploring now, even if it's not in space… Blink

it will be about 100% pvp

when you start using weapons on other ships be it player or npc you will have a small window open and a mini game will start.

re: hacking etc

and if you win the mini game all their loot will spew out in several cans and you will have 3 seconds to collect it all.

Personally I'm hoping for something to rekindle my interest in this game.

Unfortunately all of the things I have been looking forward to seem to be firmly in the "soon" box with no hope of ever making it into the game (modular POS with interiors, comet mining, WiS).

I predict some minor tweaks and a "re-skinning" of an existing feature (production/ invention maybe)

Then we will have to disagree.

Long ago, when you had to use Quest, Pursuit, Comb, and Sift probes in four different flavors in hopes of pinning down something while you initially went back and forth across the planets - that to me was exploration.

Today is what I would consider "retrieval" - automatically being told that something is approximately right here is not exploration. Drop a preset alignment of the same probe type, click closer, click closer, warp to it and play the pinata game.

Best I saw was a four day old character warp into a site I found recently. Again long ago, exploration was an unique profession that took dedication with ships and modules, along with a mindset that you might spend hours and obtain zilch. So if a free-for-all to keep the masses happy is exploration...

I heard that there's going to be a series of missions to collect key parts from all around the galaxy (high sec, low sec, null sec, WHs, you name it!) and that it will take months to complete - once completed the key fits to the captain quarters door and it allows you to enter the bar with strippers (both sexes) and with fighting cage where capsuleers can fight to the death. Flirting, RPing and betting on fights allowed through new bar UI. Winner of the fight collects bounties if fight ends in capsuleer's death. They call the mission series by the name: "The Carebear's Path to Enlightenment".

True story! I swear! Roll

two weeks of bait and switch.

Some will win, some will lose. Most will never undock because it was all min maxed on test server a month before it went live.

Come now, be sensible. What she was talking about was obviously not about an expansion that was due to be launched in a few weeks and which wasn't going to change much.

That word again... iterations

Whilst iterations is all good I personally think this is something which should be a continuous job. To have entire expansions based solely on iterations is well.. meh

The same goes with ship balancing.

One day CCP will do something new and not just more iterations

Of course she wasn't talking about a feature which will be launched in a couple of weeks, we know that. We also know it wont be launched in a few months either, or years, or ever :)
