EVE General Discussion

You mean like 0.0 Sovreignty or Factional Warfare Or Wormholes Or Incursions Or Planetary Interaction or T3 ships?

CCP has a history of rolling out exciting new ideas in prototype format but then neglecting to expand on them in favour of pursuing even more "visionary new content". Thankfully, yes, there are now teams working on fixes, enhancements and improvements but they exist largely because of player feedback that more effort was needed to work on the existing content which we use everyday.

Given the above track record and the failure of the Incarna launch I'd say that people are justified in their concerns for the future.


Let's not forget that the "door simulation" only exists today because CCP chose to TAKE AWAY our old hangar ship view for no good reason whatsoever.

Remember "spinning a ship" doesn't have to literally mean that. Part of the immersiveness of EvE for a pilot is actually seeing their ship while docked and being to access it as before (GUI functionality to access cargo etc). Clearly a static backdrop of a door isn't at all immersive but CCP decided to provide us with the option to see either that or CQ. Not really much of a choice, especially as a better one ALREADY existed. If it isn't broken, why fix it?

All this was NEEDLESSLY lost when Incarna came out and people turned off CQ. It's unsurprising that this is one of the first things CCP is addressing (see latest devblog).

The problem was never WIS per se but the way Incarna has been released.
i.e. Forced on us with bugs, performance issues and minimal functionality that gets boring very quickly.

IF CCP wanted to sell us the idea that WIS was going to be cool this was a pretty bad way to go about it and once you've disappointed people you have to work twice as hard again to impress them.

EDIT:
Changing the thread title to something different after receiving several replies can be misleading.
The original title read "Do you look forward to Incarna?"

No its horseshit.


I wanted my toon to be a hugely obese naked man covered in tats instead of what i got which is a Gap model just like everyone else

Perhaps, but first and foremost, EVE is spaceships.

a lot, i mean A LOT of people want WIS,

its the fact that ccp wanted to force WIS that pissed people off.
also the fact that incarna was lame by every standard and didnt add any gameplay whatsoever.


learn to form valid points

I don't know that that's what pissed people off so much. I'd lean more toward the melting video cards or the complete and utter lack of content. Coupled with the fact that all of the development time went into WiS instead of into something that could have actually added game content, fixed bugs, or balanced game play.

Had WiS actually added something substantial to the game, I think it would have been more welcomed.

When they're finished with the initial and time intensive work off crating a new graphical engine I believe they will spend more time on flying.

:cripes:

If more than just walking is eventually implemented in incarna, and by that i mean for instance actually being able to influence events within that environment, such as carry out assinations or market domination or even a larger scale operation where a station can be effectively locked down in a situation of war, or trading information on rival corps and aliances, then walking in stations makes sense....It serves a gameplay purpose.



Doing it because it's something like a fashion show(Nex shop) and you can open up your own store or go to meetings with corp members......Things that in the big scheme of things have little to no influence in how the eve universe develops, no thanks...

Why even ask for opinions if you are only interested in getting one answer (and willing to pay isk to get it, no less). Just make up an article and claim WiS is awesome and everyone wants it. What's next, paying people to say the US economy is doing great, the government accounting office is just a bunch of trolls?
