EVE General Discussion

Excited for Rubicon. I feel like this is going to be one of the best expansions, yet.
The bittervet in me says "nothing will ever top RMR"... but despite that, I am anxious to see where future expansions will take us.

Also, am quite looking forward to the "hilarity ensues" on patch day, when half the community will act like it's the end of the world because something broke. I will be, as always, lounging on that couch, sipping my rum and coke, and fiddling with my data pad, waiting for the opportunity to tell everyone I can log on just fine.

Don't disappoint me, CCP... but, then again, if the last 10 years are any indication (except for Incarna.... but 19 wins out of 20 attempts is still a pretty awesome record), I know you won't.

less then 2 weeks for Ps4

Yeah we're all quite certain that you like massive, long ............ ships.

What _exactly_ is it about this patch that you are excited about?

Its sub-mediocre at best.

My synopsis:

CCP Rise: Oh man I always wanted a drone ship with lazors, check this out guyz!
CCP Rise: Hey guyz, you know I bet we could make and expansion out of changing the warp speed mechanic
CCP Whoever: Hey we can implement some new useless structures for people to shoot. That will keep everyone busy till fanfest

The only actual content in this patch is a crappy set of implants for ganking nullsec bears and a cloaky _PIRATE_ carebear ship with horrible stats.

So really, the most exciting feature in Rubicon is that now you can sit in a system, with a cloaking dictor, a set of uber warp speed implants, and a cyno, and deny all ratting while being afk.

Its good the expansions are _free_, cause I wouldnt pay for them.

/edit

Oh, I'm sorry I forgot about the high-sec POCOS. Its hard to predict what the outcome of this "stat change" will be, but I garantee people will be whining about TiDi.

And anything else I missed, just not worth mentioning.

This whole marketing thing with 'Rubicon' and "no turning back" is actually my least favorite part of the whole expansion so far. I like most of the features and improvements being introduced, but none of them live up to the notion of "no turning back." The closest thing I can think of is the warp speed change, which will undoubtedly upend the metagame and see further adjustments/balancing in the next few months.

2mill ISK per hour siphons combined with 800mil worth SoE cruisers and rarely seen ghost sites - these aren't that exciting. My sub is going to expire before Rubicon.

Only 10 minutes until my pizza arrives!

Theres no turning back. For the good or the bad. I bet the bad.

I am looking forward to the changes Rubicon will make. All the ideas so far are very fine ones indeed and I will very much enjoy the warp speed changes and SoE ships.

Now for the bitter vet bit. The amount of new stuff is frankly **** and people are right, this doesn't compare to any other expansion. Even Incarna was better than this. It feels like CCP are putting all their development efforts on anything but Eve at the moment. They are probably trying to save Dust, and putting all their effort into that, not to forget Valkyrie.

I guess CCP should be glad a lot of its playerbase are so easily placated.
