EVE General Discussion

I think DUST is far more critical to the future of EVE than anything because if it fails, there probably won't be any WIS for a looooong time (if ever) given all the cash that has gone into it been gambled on it.

Also, I trust CCP to make the next few expansion cycles awesome. They've kept their eyes on the ball, for the most part, during the last few. The first expansion I experienced was Incarna; anything is better than that garbage.

In a constantly evolving game like EvE and with a growing and developing community, I don't think that anybody would take CCPs future projections/plans as anything but a very long term goal/aspiration for the game. There is a reason they trademarked their "soon" comment when asked about timelines for features.

I think you need to gain an understanding/appreciation of what it takes to keep a game like this updated, maintained and running smoothly, whilst still introducing new content regularly, before your start mouthing off about the candy that you want NOW! NOW! NOW! NOW! NOW!

This. I just don't see the appeal of turning EVE Online into The Sims in Space.

I hope they keep their focus on FiS. Maybe a minimal amount of time on further Dust integration. But mostly FiS.

Stopped reading right there. Flying in Space is critical to EVE. Walking in stations is a nice thought - but considering how CCP tried to basically force the player base to swallow Incarna whole, I'm not too eager for a return to this feature.

I am shedding tears for modular, scalable POSes as well.

I am holding back with cries of rage until I hear what is actually coming in 2013 - we don't know yet, after all.

But I am not very hopeful.

unfortunately yes...

This is why CCP should just release expansions and patches without even notifying the player base of what's coming.

Incarna made bittervets of us all.

I don't see WIS as something NECESSARY.... it would be a neat feature, but feasibility it a lil wanky. We play eve and are spread over thousands and thousands of stations there isnt enough people in stations and when there is what are they doing... either prepping to bounce out or AFK safe just being parked in station.

What are they gonna do under something like that? No matter what station(maybe for the region???) they just all share the same station like we were all just sitting in Jita together?? Then what do we do in station? Play some sort of second life mini games or gamble for isk(I'd like a draw poker room myself).....Or maybe fight for control of stations or districs of stations DUST style.

Plus why would a lower priority feature like WIS be more of a resource hog that the main game? Look how hard it is to just walk in CQ.. I have to turn it off. I think one eve's main qualities is that it can run on lower end PCs, even with the settings turned low it dosen't even show plus it dosent have to render full environments. When I'm in station, my low setting look very BAD. When It has to start building stations its gonna look like second life set to CLAYMATION and Gumby levels on weak machine and looks like hell. I know my laptop is not a big gaming machine but It plays EVE amazingly, I bet WOW looks like crap on here... I can turn the settings up and it looks amazing and still gets good fps, but it gets hot(u know how laptops get)
I'm hoping for new models for the POS(for small medium and large, they just all look the same maybe faction(looking) labs....and bland to tell you the truth). And a better system of placing and positioning the all the bits and maybe some misc(no real purpose bit to highlight structures like the lite signs on npc structures in missions).





I'm sure there is other stupid things that I can come up with but I took a big enough dump putting this out... I think WIS is a waste... other than some cosmetics and missteps on the last update, I'm currently happy with what came out in the last update.
