I had to keep staring at the URL to convince myself that it wasn't a spectacular spoof-post.

Yeah, R-Op, I got that e-mail and thought the same thing.

Blog reads like "we reverted most of the stuff we introduced and the game will be better for it", which is ofcourse true.

Excuses are the refuge of the weak.

Best dev blog this year so far. Full of content which makes the playerbase happy and promises more to come. They're even fixing the new turret icons! Now that's what I call attention to detail!

I'm staying subbed well after xmas if this is the sort of stuff CCP will be delivering to us over the next year.

Thankyou for listening CCP and thankyou Torfi and everyone else working on this content for us. We know it's not as impressive or amazing as completely new T3 ships or WIS but we really appreciate it because it makes such a big difference to our gameplay.

Good stuff. Anyone noticed different hallway in first screenshot? I wonder if its from Caldari station or just new type of hallway for Minnie quarters.

Finally. As much as I look forward to an expanded Incarna and establishments, having to load up the WiS environment EVERY TIME I docked was just killing my multiboxing (and I run a high end system). This is a big move toward functionality again.

It's the Caldari captain's quarters.

EDIT: Er... the hallway leading to the Caldari CQ, anyway.

If this really happens, like near future, like for real -ya know!

Well.... I'd.... I'd buy a plane ticket and take my middle aged big fat bald "hairy back" ass to Iceland. Find the nearest dev and give him a great "big ole" sloppy wet kiss right on the lips. Ugh

I'll start saving my pizza/soda/candy money now. Shave my nose hairs so I won't tickle the dev's nose when I kiss him/her.

Must tell mom I will be gone for a few so she won't rent out the basement while I'm gone.

Might take 2+ months to save up enough money for two coach seats. (Must be trying to tell me something PC'ness doesn't allow them to verbally.) I buy three on long flights, just more room I say.

Hot bowl of Pinto beans helps to settle the pre-flight jitters. Just before I board the plane, I enjoy a fat Cuban cigar, and once we're at crusing level I like to drink those tiny little bottles of liquor with peanuts, yum! Anyone know why they make those emergency exits so small?

Anywhoo, just wouldn't seem appropriate if I weren't able to get there shortly after the ship spinning release. I guess we all can see "TIME" is of an essence here. Blink

Kiss Kiss! Shocked




BTW -kind of hope this is CCP's way of letting us know, they know... you know?


Baby steps.

Indeed! I also wish there were a "OMFG!ROFLMAO" button too.

Any ideas on when we'll see this stuff on SISI other than soon™?

Edit: Mainly because I don't understand what all these technical terms mean...

* Fixed the incorrect specular behavior
* Fixed shader texture gamma issues
* Implemented a new specular glossiness model
* The specular reflection is tinted by the color of the light
* Added diffuse and specular fresnel
* Added specular light from indirect light (spherical harmonics)
* Calibrated the BRDF presets to the ones in character creator

Specular? Fresnel? BRDF? All I'm hearing is this..Lol

Very simply they are fixing the textures to make them react more realistically in the light, to reflect and bounce light around as you would expect from a real environment.

If they don't fix the underlying CPU issues though then this could in fact be bad news however, CCP's way of fixing the poor technical aspects of CQ seems to be "we will give you the option not to use it, if your CPU doesn't like it, then don't use it"

The troll is strong in this one.....

You should spend more time reading (and understanding) the Dev Blog than you did posting.

Just to make it easy for you (because this Blog has put me in a good mood), here's what you didn't pay attention too.

Quote:
you will simply be able to board and unboard your ship, toggling between Captain‘s Quarters and Ship Spinning mode. Your client will remember your last choice, so if you left your station while boarded, you will be boarded the next time you find yourself in a station and vice versa

its like when Coke changed their receipe disasterously, the public hated them, Coke changed it back, and the public acted like they did this amazing thing.

I think people need to tone down the applause and praise for the reintroduction of features that should have never left.

hangar view
ship spinning
cyno effect

it doesnt seem to take much to quench the rage of space nerds it would seem

ohwell, lets hope there are some announcements in the near future about NEW things that are worth subscription money

COME AT ME BRO

I'LL JUST BE DOCKED IN THIS STATION
