EVE General Discussion

Very much this.

On most computers the CQ ate more resources than your average fast paced shooter, racing or whatever game while still having horrible shader effects in some areas.
The step towards smooth player socialization would have been enormous and requiring a lot of debugging resources, which CCP doesn't have. Or wants to spend time and money on, since their WoD game - one of the reasons Incarna was finally given a go - also was planned to use that engine.

Now WoD is on hold that situation isn't that way anymore and the (internal, CCP) incentive to make WiS a lot weaker. CCP subsequently, and very conveniently, used some forum posts and protests to say "the players don't want WiS anyway, let's postpone it!!". And so Incarna is shelved for now. Till .. ?

And so it is.

CCP made the decision to remake the wheel. If they had done it they would have been able to sell their avatar engine to other people. It was higher resolution than anything anyone has out there right now. They failed and with it have screwed themselves over badly

What should have been done. Use an already established avatar engine (see unreal) Worked on their new engine and not make their established game the guinea pig for the new engine.

Secondly - The Nex problem, Nex should have never been done this way. Free to Play games are a genre that will stick around but in no way will the replace subscription games, FTP games are for subscription games that failed and need a re-boot or are originally designed to be FTP neither suited Eve online.

I turned on CQ (tried it once before and turned off), and well, it's actually very cool.

My purpose-built trade alts spin nicely

Anyway, looking forward to more features!

Before CCP even spends another dime on WiS, a majority of us agree that the following needs to be fixed:

1.) Greater incentive to live in 0.0 and hold Sov there
2.) Fix lowsec, ffs. Besides roams, there's hardly any reason to be there. The fact that lowsec is mostly empty should be a clear sign of that.
3.) Make highsec Incursions less profitable so more people are enticed to try 0.0 once you complete problem #1
4.) Fix at least 70% of all the things on the "Sucking Chest Wounds" and "Papercuts" list
5.) Make a more intuitive UI that doesn't wear out my mouse every 3 months and totally scare off new players to the game.
6.) Fix POS's, please! They need a total redesign beyond just fuel blocks.
7.) Make more T2 BPO's available to those who didn't get lucky in the first lottery. Price and production competition is good!
8.) Rebalance distribution of tech moons.

Then, and only then, should you even fathom working on WiS again.

Nope, majority of us doesn't agree, that is just your list.

Also, in the last patch CCP delivered both FiS and WiS.

I think you'll have to prove your sampling method before I'd believe that list.

For example I bet I could find more players that would rather have a big mining improvement than care about half of the stuff on your list and I know there are more folks that want WiS than care about high sec incursions.

Issler

I would only want WIS to be implemented further if CCP has the ability to do it in this manner:
1.) war dec targets are killable while WIS (Eve is not safe even walking about in a high sec station)
2.) give me a purpose to walking about in the station. i do want to play poker, drink quafe, get in bar fights, walk out on my dancer tab and get chased by concord npcs. I'd like to be able to run from those NPC's (or any faction NPC's i have irritated) all the way back to my POD, click on my POD at the Deck and choose board ship (to load hangar) then undock to GTFO.
3.) give us the same weapons that Dust will have for our avatars in EVE. Better yet, allow me to take a timed shuttle from the station to a planet where a battle is taking place. Before I leave, allow me to choose a side via a terminal in the Planetary Staging Office (the room shown in DUST's trailer with the strategic map).
4.) all me to use said strategic map to allocate resources to the battlefield and create strategic drop zones for my soldiers and equipment/vehicles. I'd also like to see the ability to assign objectives from this strategic map.
5.) give me FPS Dust for my PC / fine if you do it for PS3 but look at the difference between the graphics, size of battlefields, performance quality and team size variances between the PS3/PC version of Battlefield 3. ( I have both versions and it is easier to see why DUST should be PC exclusive) also you have to deal with all the Playstation Network policies and regulations/requirements because of THEIR network limitations.
6.) If you want to make history in the MMORPG world, be the 1st sci-fi MMORPG to take combat to and from space to planet/battlefield seamlessly without loading screens. Seamless transition from Space to Planet.

Er, no. Not in the least.

if the game requirement meets the specs of the machine then the game shouldn't set the machine on fire. It is not, not in a million years, the fault of the user.

If the software is likely to destroy the machine then it shouldn't run.

But your last part is telling. A normal machine, a machine of the masses. In other words for the majoority of EVE players they may as well stop now and biomass their characters.

I hope that you don't work for CCP's marketing division.

I think it is still coming. I just wish CCP would update us on their plans for it. I mean is it going to be another 2 years?

Nobody is entitled to curtail somebody else's rights when those rights don't affect his own rights.

So as long as WiS doesn't harms anyone else, then there is no reason to not give WiS to those who want it.

And in case you think "the effort in WiS meant FiS was abandoned", just read CCP Manifest's interview where you can read between the lines what has happen: it's been the 18 months.
