EVE General Discussion

OK so we understand that CCP have only so much resource they can throw at developing EVE whilst DUST and WOD are in development. But where should they focus... Flying in Space or Walking in Stations? FiS or WiS?

My vote: FiS.

Absolutely.
_______________________________________________________

UPDATE: Summary of responses to post 158: the TL:DR

52% of posters only want to see future development in FiS. Some strong opinions voiced, and suggestions for fixes, rebalancing and new spaceship content.

29% of posters want to see future development ot focus on FiS, but would like to see the work to date on WiS finished off. Some specific references re: improved performance and the four races CQ's to be finished. Mixed opinions re: whether development should go beyond 'the door'.

12% of posters would like to see both FiS and WiS developed side by side, whatever the resources available.

7% of posters would prefer to see the future development emphasis on WiS. Some comments elsewhere suggest that this would be more if there was a pvp element to WiS.

A handful of other suggestions presented: including stuff like 'Flying in Stations...

I'll provide a further update if interest continues in this thread. Keep posting!

FiS

(I hope you realize that many of those people who would answer "WiS" have very little reason to be subscribed to the current FiS-centric form of EVE)

But that's the point of this thread... we can't have both at the moment.

If you can only have one, which would it be?

What a sad state of affairs we are in when a capsuleer compares stretching ones legs to casting spells and jumping on mailboxes. You should be ashamed.

Until I can run up to you, shank you with a knife, steal your wallet, take your $1000 blue jeans, and pry that ******** monical from your face with a rusty screw driver WIS is a **** release and worthless distraction from what EVE is supposed to be.

EVE is a PVP Spaceship game.

CCP should spend time and resources fixing what is wrong and forget about the stupid ass door.

Well, I feel that polls like these is heavily biased since most will know what the vocal minority wants by this point. (just look at threads below this one).

Nex is bad! WiS is crap! We want the old stuff back!

Hate me for saying it if you must, but it is getting rather old. If it is getting so bad why not take a small break?

You know, strech your legs a bit, go outside, smell the fresh (depending on where you live) air a bit. Why be so angry al the time?

WiS is nothing more than a social aspect of the game, a way for players to interract with eachother without having to blow eachother up or stealing from others. And I like that, I like that fact that you can kick back and just go and talk with others if you want, and when you feel you are ready again, just get back to your ship.

It does not hamper your gameplay in any way if what you want is to Fly in Space.

Yes it could have been introduced better, but how the fear of "golden ammo" turned into WiS is crap is beyond me. I guess people will complain as long as there is something to complain about.

Now FiS is what this game is fundamentally about. Making the game better in that regard is also something I want and like.
And CCP is also very mutch aware that FiS is what the vocal minority wants and as such they introduce the new 0.0.

They plan to make changes to it, and the changes they have in store is not small by any strech of the imagination. However, without fail I can guarantee you that when they do introduce the changes to the game, the very same players that wanted this, will cry and moan about it.

Please get over the fact that WiS is nothing more than an attempt by CCP to add something social to the game. If you don't like it, then don't do it. But do you really need to make hundreds of post saying that NEX is BAD, WiS is BAD, CCP is BAD?

Thank you for letting me rant.

/steps down from soapbox

Have a nice day.

And for the record, I still want both

I think you missed the thread where a CCP dev (or 2?) stated that the hangar is, not only, coming back, but they have it running on one of their machines.

My vote?

Both.

But failing that and/or with continued pressure from the nits think we can only have one or the other, 'WiS'. I've had it up to here with all this squabbling over which there ought be; the sooner Incarna is done and deployed in-whole, the sooner people will shut up and begin to remember/realise it's all the same bloody game.

Still, at least we know polls like this are largely meaningless whatever the outcome, given inevitably skewed demographics and percentage of players reading the forums and all.

WiS can **** off until CCP can develop it without impacting on the core game.

FiS

First, last and always.
