EVE General Discussion

And how is adding to performance issues good exactly?

EVE still manages to allow a thousand people to shoot at each other.
How many other MMO's have you played that allow that?

How exactly is peformance an intrinsic problem with EVE, when it allows for such large scale fights to happen?
Poly counts don't make a better game, but bad performance always makes a worse one.

EVE used to not allow thousand players fleet battles , now they do .
The reason why ? I stated many times , go watch the fanfest vids on YT.

How is performance an intrinsic issue?
Reset your camera , and then fly into a gas cloud .
come back and then tell us what happened to your FPS.

Go to Jita, sit for a few hours , undock at peak traffic with default camera, tell us what happened again.

But thats just what the Trinity Engine does. Adding improved dynamic graphics shouldn't be a problem for the new gen industry standard computers when Trinity is optimized on the next graphically orientated expansion.

Like I said, what exactly is it that you want? Shader upgrades have already begun, tessellation is in the pipeline and new lighting is apparently ready to roll once the V3 work is complete. So if I understand this correctly, you want what is already planned, has already been implemented, or is in production as we speak? So you have no real point at all? Interesting.

On a related note:



Team Avatar being disbanded has exactly no effect on Carbon. That is overseen by the CTG, or Core Technology Group. You would know this if you had done even the smallest amount of research on anything relating to a subject which you claim to be passionate about.

source: Core Technology, Carbon and You.

So now we've cleared up a few things, what exactly was it you wanted to see?

The future development and direction is vague at best to the general public, unlike the previous updates which we were promised "Missiles", "turrets" , "V3 textures".
At this stage all we have is , expect changes coming (e.g: DX11 and Phys updates)
Its not specific enough.
What I really want to see?

Maybe you'll understand the worlds from someone's mouth better.
"the life of a ship had a certain continuity. When a ship was built or undocking, it wasn't just popped out, it was launched. When a ship dies, it does so in a fashion consistent with it's mass and purpose. Fighters left a streaking fire trail leading to an explosion, bigger ships had secondary explosions and slowly rolled out of control before a devastating final explosion. The sound effect made you feel like the ship was being ripped apart from the inside or that you were fighting for your life in a spacebourne fur ball. I think CCP could learn a lot about battle immersion from HW2"


PS: Cool ! Learning more everyday Core Tech it is !

What.

The graphic engine was updated in 2007ish with Trinity expansion. Please do some actual research before posting dates....

waht?

It's apples and oranges time again.

PS2 - Multiple servers each with multiple shards known as continents. Server clusters are isolated from each other and players from one cannot access another, much like WoW. Maximum of 2000 players on any continent, capped at 1,950 to provide a buffer. Every continent has it's own server cluster with three continents making up a total of 5,850 people allowed on any one total server. Not all 2000 players could ever realistically gather in one spot as the servers crash constantly.

Not only this but PS2's hardware requirement specs are much higher than EVE's, which again brings up the point I and others already made about expecting 98% of your customers to spend hundreds and hundreds of $/£ etc on new hardware.

They are WIP and so not in the game yet, its somewhere in the art video from the fanfest, have a look through that playlist for anything that might be interesting, like the future video for what they are planning, it is in fact pretty clear where the art is heading from my point of view.

Going in useless circles yet again.
