EVE General Discussion

Haven't you heard? It's popular nowadays to pass oneself as a seasoned, weather beaten bittervet and dismiss all other players as immature, unworthy sacks of manure.

Or something.

Yeah cause people will always find other people to fight when local is removed and not just pass through systems entirely because they think they're empty.

This isn't w-space. Things work differently here, and for a reason.

If you think these features are trivial, you're either delusional or clueless. Probably a mix of both.

I don't think we'll be able to tell how 'big' Rubicon is for a while. I have reasonably high hopes.

This is absolutely true. The players have asked - and CCP Seagull 100% agree - for features that are larger than those that can be delivered in a 6 month expansion cycle.

Shockingly enough this means that it will take more than 6 months for some of these features to appear.



EVEs players will always be able to generate hopes at a vastly higher rate than CCP can ever expect to fulfill. We collectively hold CCP to an incredibly high standard, which on the whole, they do an unreasonably good job of fulfilling. An occasional dose of realism on our part might not be a bad thing, though.

My opinion is that the T2 ship changes are also going to disrupt a lot of long-held combat assumptions and break up several major combat metas.

But there's more.

^^

So, to at once investigate the possible, to try and avoid stupid and mindless commenting and to explore why this latest FREE update of the product merits only our collective sneering derision [a position, by the way, that I do not share nor support], pray answer this simple question:

what would it take for you to consider Rubicon a fully-featured expansion, worthy of the name?

CCP Seagull, the least of whom it can be said that she is an enthusiastic team leader with a vision of where to take this, our fondly shared collective reverie, has stated that Rubicon is the first step, over a number of expansions, towards a radically new and different New Eden where we, arguably the most pampered and pandered to user base in the massively multi-player Online Gaming constellation, will get even more freedom to shape the outcomes of our collective interactions.

Somehow this bold, brash, bewilderingly enthusiastic, beguilingly ambitious, scrumptiously delicious banquet of art, shared hopes and dreams, byzantine complexity of code and generously shared with all comers for a mere pittance, just doesn't cut it for you. It's simply not enough, you want more knoepfkens, more blinkenlights, more... whatever wanders your idling mind on the way to a deeper engagement of what it means to be a New Eden pod pilot.

So, I am impressed by that. I stand in awe, and I'm not even being sarcastic. You have a better idea of where this gorgeous world of wonder and exploration should be going. This amazes me. If you have not considered joining CCP, you should do so forthwith. They -need- people like you.

In the mean time: share with us, lesser immortals, your dreams of a better New Eden tomorrow. Don't be a scrooge. Help us understand why your idea is better than the delight that is currently on offer, and I will enthusiastically join you in advocating precisely that through all the right (and wrong) channels.

So, out with it: where should we be going that we are not going to now?

Like concord is any hassle to someone who knows what he is doing....

More tears than the barge "rebalance"?

"The players" have asked for "more conquerable null security space"? I *surely* missed that memo!
