Me being the best, I'll give the best answer:

EvE is set in the future, and it is headed to the future.

Did I say there was a problem? Another guy with mind reading skills?


You have this habit dancing around what you really want to say, looking at your post history you are very unhappy with the major amount of fixes and little amount of completely new content.


No, it's a side matter and I am not happy with the fixes at all. I am not happy that the small fixes became basically THE activity whereas I'd expect fixes to come along with new content. CCP has some hundred employees not 5.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Bit more transparency would be nice, but its not something I insist on, especially as Im not in any real leverage position to influence any of the dev process anyways, nor am I going to change my game strategies months in advance in anticipation of them.

Everyone should remember to reprocess their stockpiles of junk modules though before Live.
That much we know for quite certain.

So you aren't happy they are fixing things then. I'm going to remain optimistic and think that they are fixing small things while updating archaic legacy code so they can implement amazing new content.

Sadly, as far as I can see, we've been on this coaster before, and fanfest *IS* basically an infomercial. Consider how many WiS videos they showed that were supposedly going to be in game Soon. *looks around* I don't see player run storefronts, Massive corp meeting rooms, or any of that other stuff we were shown at one point.

Grandma Cyg will make a prediction younglings.

1) CCP will change a bunch of stuff and a bunch of people will complain.

2) CCP will leave things half finished, and a bunch of people will complain.

3) CCP will try to make some of it's money back of WoD by dropping bits of it into EvE and calling it WiS, and people will complain.

4) People will complain, and morons in the forums will ask: Can I haz your stuff?

Ok, English is my 3rd language so maybe I can't type what to me seems so clear.

The fixes are OK, the fact they switched to "100% only fixes any more" mode finds me less OK.

They are 600 or so employees, they have the man power to ALSO create some new content. Nobody asks for Apocrypha 2 reloaded, just some coherent content that deserves the "expansion" term.

I too would like to see what the direction for Eve is, even when I wasn't keen on it it was always nice to know what to expect.

For example the process of upgrading all models and textures, Trinity

War and Sov

WiS

18 months


I realise we will see some industry changes and focus soon, but that is hardly a direction. We seem to be in our 3rd/4th(?) year of the 18 months of fixing stuff before we can get on to any new content. I'd be keen to know when 18 months is finally over what sort of content we can expect.

At this point I'd be happy if it was just 'finishing what we started with WiS' not something I was ever keen on, but It'd just be nice to know what direction the game is going in.

Guess the cartels convinced CCP that the loss of that segment of the sub base will be replaced with someone else, or more alts.


Thus in the end it will always backfire on those who think their playstyle is superior and want everyone to "enjoy" it, so far it always has in other games.

Think CONCORD in npc null or similar.
