EVE Information Portal

Seriously, I don't imagine this took too much work to make happen. So I doubt we're missing out on a bunch of extra features to to make this work. You people b**** and moan too much. No wonder they were only posting one blog a month. I like these constant updates from CCP. This isn't game changing or game breaking. It's just a little extra added coolness that plenty of us have wanted.

If you don't like it, don't open it. You're not losing anything. Quit b****ing.

Anyway, awesome sauce Guard. Now if we just had some more choices in clothing to chose from :P

I find this sort of thing irritating. I accept that it *may* have been almost complete before CCP's "change in direction", but as soon as you see that people have been working on a minor aesthetic improvement like this it rings alarm bells.

I mean c'mon... this... as a dev blog? Let's put it into perspective from a player's point of view, I'll use other aesthetically related dev blogs for comparison:

Dev blog comes out announcing the new nebula backgrounds, it sounds great and it will effect everyone who plays the game (with the exception of hard core traders who just sit in stations, but they're a weird, if very wealthy, lot). This is generally well received by the players.

Dev blog comes out announcing changes to the UI allowing scaling. It's generally well received because it's potentially tremendously helpful for a large number of people.

And then we get this... A minor feature (in comparison) which will effect a handful of players who want to gawk at the pretty pixels of another player's avatar. It's not on a par with new ships, massive changes to how pos's are run, cap ship balancing, hybrid weapon balancing, player owned customs offices... etc.. etc.. so why announce it in it's own dev blog as if it is?

I'm not saying it shouldn't be implemented, I'm not saying it's a waste of time (although, depending on how long it took, you have to question whether the resources could have been better spent elsewhere at the moment), but I am saying that presenting it as a dev blog was a bad decision. Many players are still sensitive about the whole micro-transaction debacle CCP blundered into, the last thing CCP want to do is tear up the patches of trust that have started to grow back on their player base's confidence in them. Presenting something as a feature which is clearly linked to custom clothing, and as such micro-transactions at this time was not as sensitive as it might have been imo.

At worst, this is a silly and frivolous feature that's not going to hurt anything. In light of all the excellent work CCP has been doing since summer, I'm certainly not going to get upset about this. Carry on gentlemen. Carry on.

so this is incarna multiplayer ? :P

Can we make sure that the curtains match the drapes when configuring hair styles as well?

I really like symmetry.

Nice, but not exactly blog worthy.

CCP Guard, please don't let the moaning tards discourage you or any other dev team members from releasing blogs letting us know of upcoming goodies.

In before, "ZOMG Incarna sucks,! Whyfor you suck CCP? Whyfor you not do what I want you to do? This is my game!!!"

Oh wait...

I am imagining the first CCP meeting after Hilmar's blog.
The devs where discussing wich devblog to publish first, to calm the raging mob.
And some troll at CCP voted for this one, just to unleash the epic sh*tstorm.

That's a great way to explain the reaction some of us are having.
