EVE General Discussion

While a lot of the stuff that is coming at the end of the month is indeed just fluff it is pretty damned good fluff and should thrill a great many people. If there is anyone out there that hasn't seen the new nebulae or V3 ship skins on Sisi they are going to be blown away.

Some of the more substantial changes that ccp promised were probably a bit too in depth to make it into this expansion but hopefully they are working on them and they are just a few months away rather than put off until next spring or summer.

Parts are going to be a very nice patch. Some long overdue tweaks and some new shiny for the eyes.

At least two things are horrible.

- The shafting of small outfits that do PI in lowsec by introducing the new low sec pirate hobby target the player owned CO.

- The introduction of real space barbie with the new full avatar spinning interface. That being another desperate attempt to get us to spend $$ at the NeX store. CCP!! I will not be buying NeX clothing to wear to show off to random folk spinning my image in the worlds only on person per instance MMORPG UI.

All the major promises were dropped, FW, real SOV mechanics fixes, assualt frigate revamp, real hybrid fixing.
And other long overdue areas were ignored - MINING!!! PLEASE CCP!!! Its been the same since I started in 2004!

But based on the reaction so far - WINNING - for CCP PR
Fail - if really graded as an expansion.

nevermind... forum ate my post.

I think it's unrealistic to think that this is other than a peacemaking effort, whatever they could cobble together before x-mas. An enticement for people to re-sub and keeping subscribers. It's basically stuff that they had on their to-do list and was easy to do, can't really expect something major changes from that tbh. I do think they've overhyped this one to a degree and it'll **** of those who are coming back expecting something big.

Having said that though they did say something along the line that it was simply that. They would be starting with a small effort as a show of good faith. and continuing with a larger effort next year. Whether that will actually happen, well that remains to be seen.

I'm looking for their announcement of their next expansion. That's the one that will count.

EVE online , don't like sparkles in station? Have sparkles in space!!!!

Too many years of neglect to get fixed in one big patch, that's all it is really.

Factional Warfare ...?

How ******* hard is it to put a 4th godsdamn bonus on the AF? FFS it isn't like the frigates are that well thought out anyways, slap something on it and be done with it.

It's an ok expansion, lots of graphical upgrades and four new ships and a few minor tweaks and annoyances fixed. Hybrids are still a bit iffy and will not be anyones first choice. As for the big things, nothing other than cap nerfs. Null and low-sec remain a big concern and we should begin to wonder if CCP has any real ideas on how to fix it. FW also still needs looking at although we've been promised something soon. PVE, mining and high-sec life remains pretty much the same. Overall there is no REAL new content except V3 graphics and some rebalancing.

5/10

Its not like the last expansion where what, 3 things changed? And im sorry ccp didnt make hybrids an iwin button and make huge changes in a few months. Im sure the whole trinity expansion with the new ship skins and stuff wasn't done in 2 or 3 months

Everyone seems to have forgotten the supers nerf is anyone excited about that at all? Plus we are getting a free gift implant and maybe more goodies or so. If we dont get more I plan on having another protest movement.

I vote for winter expansion ot be WIN. It's the biggest expansion I've seen since I started playing, as far as fixing bugs goes, hybrid rebalancing and adding new ships and skins! Not to mention the pos fix.


And engine trails are coming back to eve! YAY!
