I will not repeat, and so there are lots of topics already about good Incarna.

I guess you were living in a cave for past several years so you know nothing about Jita riots and player protests against "features" Incarna had to offer.

Opinions are like assholes. Everybody got one and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks.

Some promises are better broken than kept.

There were no riots over WiS.

You associate a monocle for $ 50 with Walking in stations? Let's clarify that WIS not only clothes from NEX shop.

CCP starts new projects without bringing others to the end. They started DUST 514, World of Darkness, EVE-VR.

In my opinion they should have completed 1.Walking in stations (more than only 1 Captain Quarter (Cabine of player )), after launch the DUST 514, and than make other projects, company still develops due to players maintaining.

It would be interesting to chat with the players even in some block of 50 people if it does not allow today's hardware capabilities. Would not have been players there would be no Dust 514, WOD, EVE-VR, so that in some way CCP should go to meet the players.Bear

Сonclusion: CCP has to make qualitative Walking in Stations

I know there is that, elephant in the room that promises to have something just like WiS... but once you've seen your space ships coffee table drop from the ceiling two times, is it really adding anything to the game?

Games like X-Rebirth has walking in stations. Its awful. Now you have to dock. Get off your ship, and talk to an NPC with the same dialogue over and over again. Then it crashes.

That whole 'future vision' thing CCP had going on, now known as the 'Screw that, lets build stargates instead vision', was an interesting one though, but to make it work, you actually need a much deeper and more complex set of interactions to make it add anything meaningful. Such as being able to shoot people in the face like in the trailer. But given what we've got with Dust 514, we should probably be very grateful its dead. What we probably would have got, is a virtual hairdressers and the ability to sip on virtual martini' in a virtual bar starring out the virtual window looking at virtual space.

I know my old Swedish friends are gutted though. They wanted to open a Gay Bar in Jita lol

but they were bundled in same update, so frustration about NEX moved to WiS when they failed to deliver promised content.

Problem is and always was the lack of need to know basis. CCP learned over the last years to not talk about things too far ahead like they did with incarna, exactly because the kind of problem that brought. Today we see more like "FYI" feature releases, where you have already the change laid down almost done and then one day they say it is there, and if you have good eye for details you see that it was there for a long time just waiting to be activated. That is speacially obvious for people that look into the item database and such, and you know that the more recent new features are there before they say they are.

Incarna had a huge probability of gearing EVE towards dimensions never before achieved, but there was a catch: People had to have patience and see what devs wanted to convey. That never happens, speacially if you make your playerbase think that they command the game.

The people who are eager to complain and flame are also hot headed and prone to enjoy only blowing stuff up and for no reason at all. Anything that requires planning or strategy, and anything that means dispute or power, but is not translated into missiles and turrets are frown upon. Even logistics and tactical ships are a powerful overlooked by 80% of the players that speak their minds on forums and general public channels.

That is why anything less than what involves damage, mitigation and avoidance of, and speed, is quickly flamed and protested upon.

So, you will probably have all the features being placed in ready mode behind the scenes, and then one day a dev blog announces that it is happening, and when it does, you perceive that they had it being worked on but not talking about to avoid the trollage and "blow stuff up for no reason" folks to bother.

Pretty much what long lived governments, companies and parents learn to do the hard way.

I'm not saying that CCP need to put 100%, they can add some new in WIS in expansions, how they do.

I'm not against the idea, I'm just against it not adding anything worth while and being eye candy. What they were planning - from all interviews and accounts - was eye candy, sadly. They weren't even going to allow pvp in stations for example.

I'd love for there to be a game as complex as that, truly I would. I'm just not sure I'm willing to keep paying CCP each month while it takes them 10 years to do it.

Dust 514... travel the world... meet new people. Then kill them.

Wis/Incarna ran into planning issues. There was a thread/blog stating that CCP was integrating WoD into EVE which should have been "easy." However, it was more difficult and time consuming than expected. This lead to basically 18 months of no features being added to EVE which greatly annoyed the majority of players.

Don't expect WiiS until after WoD is done/stable.

Yes, right.

The harder part of that is already ingame. The problem is only player whining. But you will never see that said.

You really want someone with development experience to believe that it is hard to make ambulance for a game that has all the features eve has in maximum graph specs ? Gimme a break.

The problem is entirely in playerbase whining.

Most players cant understand that different people work in different areas of eve, and the effort made in one front is not detrimental to another. The people on sov and corp balance is not the people on "space barbie" things, and if they were not working on space barbie sector, they would be doing reflections on ships, storms on planets, or whatever cosmetic changes you have, because that is THEIR thing.

Another aspect of player whining is those "broken mechanics".

CCP will never say the truth, but most SOV and POS problems come from the fact that THE PLAYER DONT KNOW HOW TO USE IT, and want it to work the way they want it to, rather than the way it works, and for a reason.

You have some tweaks needed to make it better, but all that SOV and POS whining is bordering the divinity. Soon you will have stations devoted to the cult of SOV/POS broken myth.

I think that if within a couple of years CCP not will add something intresting, players will go to other games, where much more variety .
And hold on to the space and all .. this is nonsense, the game should evolve .

There is a measurable contingent of older players (read: bittervets) who very specifically want the game to not evolve.

I can understand their sentiments a bit, but to think that EVE Online should go another 10 years being pretty much exactly what we have.. I don't see the game lasting 10 more years in that kind of a state.
