Anyone else think diverting Incarna resources to FiS crap is a mistake or is it just me?

FiS neglected ??? All past expansions have been about FiS improvements, new ships, System Sovereignty, etc.. . Tell me one who didn't focus on space. This is 6 years Walking in Station is pushed back to cater to one side only.


I think that alot of players are not being specific enough in their complaints. While there have been fairly recent 'flying in space' additions, these have mostly been PvE additions. Not PvP.

In reverse order the recent expansions have been Incarna (CQ's and the NPE), Incursion (Incursions which are PvE content), Tyrannis (Planetary Interaction, industrial content launched in a poor state) and then Dominion. Dominion is coming up on 2 years old and while it was a PvP expansion it introduced mechanics which have turned out to be deeply flawed in the long run and clearly needed iteration a full year ago.

Iteration that CCP had promised but never delivered on.

EVE will benefit from the sort of FiS rebalancing and fixes that CCP are now comitting to, and hopefully they can continue to work on Incarna in the background until it is ready for a real deployment.

Why it took CCP so long to develop Incarna to its current state is a valid question that I'd like to hear an explanation for. But EVE needs CCP's attention on long term issues with the existing gameplay for now.

Maybe CCP can create a super-strain of humans by modifying the genome for you to play against.

Enough with the rating and troll naming crap, I'm serious.

These forums are for discussing things you know. If trolling is the only thing you are capable of then please go elsewhere.

No you're not serious. If you were, you'd be stupid. You don't seem terribly stupid, so you must be trolling.

WIS promises can be summed up as a full evening with a 3 course meal and then a movie and then to go home with the most gorgeous woman in the country.

WIS reality was that you got 1 grain of rice and went WTF is this!!!!

I really think this is a bad move. Incarna has breathed life into this game and pulling the resources now would be a mistake. Many players joined this game because of it and now you want to stop? Please keep iterating on it. I know there is those rabble rabble lobby groups crying everywhere, but they have a ton of FiS stuff to do and play with.

So please reconsider this winter expansion and focus it on Incarna iteration. I have faith in you CCP, don't let me down.


Err color me wrong but last time I check the WiS only resources are staying there I mean seriously what use would you hvae for a clothing artist on ships and spacestations? Core Eve Development teams is moving back to in space and are not Incarna or any other feature only teams they are the EVE all star team if you want to think if it that way.

That's a pretty big "1%" there, buddy. And that's just the alliances who have sov - there are quite a few of some size including my own dear INIT. with a 4-digit member count who don't even show up on that list.

Not to mention the empire alts, which are at least the same again.

0.0 isn't quite the minority demographic that many like to believe it is.


Lol

This mad me laugh so hard. Congratulations on being able to count. That seems to be a surprisingly rare skill in these here forums. That and basic English.

Also, that link in your sig is excellent. I've been looking for something like that for years.

So it goes.

No, I don't.

Why? Because the actual game parts of the game, that stuff that you do in space? That needs a lot of love. Incarna can wait - spaceships come first, always.


I like the "Loot All" function as well but I'm puzzled as to why they needed to abandon Incarna over it.

The only mistake that CCP made was transferring development resources from FiS to Incarna. Incarna is cool and all, but they should have *NEVER* had FiS take a backseat to Incarna. :18 months: and all that.

And the Crucible expansion doesn't contain anything "big" because it was hastily thrown together at the last minute. Everything you see in Crucible is the result of 6 *weeks* of development - as opposed to the normal 6 *months*.

Incarna crew dont work in FiS, the core teams that help code WiS are all done there they may have networking down there again for multiplayer but that it just about now, rest of WiS crew are dedicated assests or on barrow from WoD.

Core is probably much more worried about dust 514 intergrations and its effect on all of us.
