What's yours?

Win - best expansion since RMR.

1. Navigation features (auto jump/dock)
2. Mining Foreman links
3. Awesome effects (trails, nebulas, warp tunnel)


the buggy windows are close to making it a fail though... (I hate having to set up the windows/settings again)

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

1. CCP Finally starting to get on the right track for developing the things players want them to focus on.
2. All the little things
3. New Tier 3 BC's
4. New Nebula

Biggest Fail

The new font does not properly render some non-english characters, specifically Japanese and Chinese kanji. Some of my ships were named like this, and now it is nearly impossible to distinguish what they say. With the localization of EVE in Japanese that will be coming soon, they WILL need to fix the font because how can you play a game when you can't even read what anything says due to poor font rendering?

Win:

1. I don't think this gets enough recognition... but not just the warp tunnel. The warp tunnel when you go through a planet. That redefines win.

In addition:

2. POS fuel pellets. Why? They're a prelude to a better pos in the future.

3. Look at the requirements for something. If you need to train more skills for it... IT TELLS YOU HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE! Man, I LOVE that feature!

Fail:

1. The implementation and forced feeding of PCOs. The idea has merit, the implementation sucks. They rushed it in and screwed many people instead of seriously thinking on how to do it smoothly. Rushed for a deadline - bad idea.

2. Engine trails. The mechanics are horrible... they're like ribbons stapled to the back of the ships. They need to replicate the effects of particles being ejected from a moving object... i.e. they'll travel in a straight line from the point of ejection, not try to chase the ship around corners. I love the idea, but they did it wrong.

3. Bugs. Not many, but some major ones. The aggression bugs, the PCO tax rate reset bug,... again, rushed to a deadline instead of releasing it when it's ready.

Six months in the hole... it changes a man.

1. New nebula are incredible and add to immersion in ways WiS never could.
2. New font enhances the game and looks great.
3. All the little changes.

I guess the game just "got better". Great job, CCP.

Leaves only the fresh scent of pine.

2. New look of Gall T2 ships - so sexy!
3. Attempt at fixing Hybrids - atleast they tried
4. New ships - moar pleeze!
5. Didn't kill my Mac!

1. No update for Amarr Minmatar ships yet
2. I need more Space Barbie clothes

Win

1. New backgrounds are stellar (pun intended)
2. New auto/destination tracking is great
3. Mining laser sounds are back and fantastic!
4. Super fast loading times now

Loss

1. The font, blah
2. UI glitching, my mapbrowser always shows itself
3. Minmatar maintains its huge tactical advantage with the Tornado

On a scale of 1 to 10, this expansion was definitely a solid 8.

Need stuff moved? Push Industries will handle it. Serving highsec, lowsec and nullsec - and we do it faster and more reliably than anyone else. Ingame channel: PUSHX

Am I the only one who wishes the warp effect through planets was the effect that was ALWAYS shown? It's that cool.
Visual miss's were long overdue and warmly received.

If anyone ever looks at you and says,_ "Hold my beer, watch this,"_  you're probably going to want to pay attention.

Win

  1. Jump button including warp to
  2. Loot all
  3. T2 changes - all of them


Fail - All visual

  1. Font - I hate it. I can't really read anything anymore making me wonder if I have something totally screwed up
  2. Ship engine trails - They just don't look smooth but are clunky and such.
  3. Space background/nebula - Perhaps it's just Forge, but it looks poor to me and there isn't enough black in the space but this chalky color. (again maybe my settings?)


There are also some bugs, but nothing too horrible. Ie names of roids floating around my screen after I look at them and the perpetual lock on some stuff. The industry BP window is hosed up too :(

All the functional changes have been great and I can deal with the bugs, but either I'm just not getting it or the visuals of the game look like garbage to me. Ugh
