Do humor me by telling how adding avatar gameplay would alter fundamentals of EVE gameplay in any way? Provided it is entirely optional to engage in, and I seriously doubt that after Incarna it would be ever forced on people again.
I was actually referring to the quotee in particular.
I've made my, what I would consider "centrist", views on WiS known multiple times. I have no problem with anything that CCP decides to add to their game, given that it is among the best available uses of limited resources.
My only "problem" actually lies with the ridiculous arguments of rabid WiS proponents, and by "problem" I mean the reason I enjoy coming to this thread and mocking people. However, I have responded seriously to the few intelligent and compelling arguments that do occasionally crop up here, as I do think WiS is an important and compelling issue.

Step up and claim your prize.
It is however devolving into a SC > EVE circle-jerk thread.

No, because there is no WiS news, because it is dead for the foreseeable future.

There were some Dev posts about 20 pages back that are pretty recent. Unfortunately, they don't add anything of value except to say what they 'had' planned. Nothing on their plans to actually implement anything. "In the age of information, ignorance is a choice." |

There is no news about WIS (because WIS in no longer in development) so its ongoiing circular arguments over and over again, time to get over it people. Protect yourself from CONCORD today! Tinfoil hats, quality product. Styled after pirate hats. |

To be fair the argument's aren't circular. They all more or less have full and natural conclusions. The people doing the arguing are circular, if you catch my drift. "In the age of information, ignorance is a choice." |

Indeed. Two ships and a few anchorable structures does not an "expansion" make. That's a content patch. |

Dust is a failure that probably won't be around much longer, WoD is vaporware and while I won't play Valkyrie at least it is spaceship related.

I like you conveniently leave out the amazing amount of effort put into rebalancing that has happened since Incarna. It's been nice seeing the focus put back into spaceships. |

The last expansions were amayzing, the game is in it's best shape ever.

My guess is that making t1 ships viable again was the single biggest source of the post-incarna success, and that's almost solely due to the rebalancing efforts. Official Representative of The Nullsec Zealot Cabal |

2-3 Devs renaming skill trees and balancing ships/messing around with variables is not an expansion, that's basic game maintenance that should be coming along with actual expansions. What is the rest of the people whose salaries you pay for doing? Developing other games that you don't get to play? Get real man. |

Rebalancing is great. Odyssey 1.1 was a bigger patch than Rubicon 1.0 is. That's the thing. Balancing is patch-level content. It's great, it improves the game, and is PROBABLY largely the reason that EVE is doing well right now. But balancing has nothing to do with WiS, WiS is a completely different type of effort, and would not harm subscriptions, as long as CCP continued to rebalance and iterate spaceship gameplay. |

Kirith Kodachi has an excellent, well-balanced argument for revisiting Walking in Stations. Give Incarna a second chance. It has a good overview of what went wrong with Incarna, and how CCP overreacted to the backlash:
Quote:Incarna, that is to say walking and interacting in stations, is in of itself not a bad idea; indeed players were clamouring for it after Fanfest 2008. It was just CCP's poor planning and implementation that were bad.
It feels like CCP got their fingers so burnt by the players' ire that they have overreacted and virtually abandoned any Incarna development. I've thought about how to rescue Incarna and the NeX Store before, listing out a fake product backlog of features that could bring gameplay content and interaction into the current structure and got a lot of positive feedback. Players do want walking in stations, they do want customizable avatars, they will accept reasonable microtransactions for cosmetic enhancements, they just do not want it at the cost of all in-space development and feature iteration. Banish plump Jack, and banish all the world. |

I don't know how I can make this concept any more simple. If they spend resources on WiS it means they are not spending those resources on real Eve content. Ship balancing is content when it means that hulls that nobody ever flies become viable options again. If you guys could stop obsessing over bathrobes and dance parties you'd see that Eve has been expanding and getting better since Incarna. |

As far as avatar content goes or even Dust 514 on the PC, its all vapor ware.

My only "but" would be reminding that Incarna was not just about Wis; it was the impelmentation of the Carbon frame on which everything since has been built.
Also, albeit Incarnageddon was a disaster, 2011 was CCP's best year in terms of increased revenue and comprehensive income.
We're talking about a company that spent half of 2011 struggling for its life. Which means that the boost in income and profits was from the road leading to Incarna.
Or, put in other terms:
Incursion + Incarna = +5.9 million USD in revenues, +3.5 million comprehensive income Crucible + Inferno = +1.1 million USD in revenues , +0.1 million comprehensive income (after accounting for increased development costs)
Looks like appealing to WiS-bashers isn't making much money to CCP, specially as their marketing expense keeps inflating and October 2013 becomes "operation money grab". The Greater Fool Bar is now open for business, 24/7. Come and have drinks and fun somewhere between RL and New Eden! |

Then where will all you Dancing Space Wizzards go? 1) almost all "sandboxy" space games during last decade gathered ~85% "very interesting" ratings (EVE has 84%) including X-series, Space Rangers, people still play Freelancer (by Chris Roberts / SC author) 10 years after its release - it's impossible to create boring space sandbox game; 2) there will be 4 more sandbox releases - Elite Dangerous, Repopulation, Everquest Next, Camelot Unchained - 3 of them are being created by very reputable devs, so this is the last year when EVE doesn't have any interesting sandbox competitors and in a year there won't be any problems to find alternative sandbox game for any taste and all of them will have avatar gameplay. Unlike EVE.
And Pathfinder Online. Don't forget Pathfinder! They even have some old Eve devs I think. Looks like it will basically be Eve in a fantasy setting. |

Private servers with custom mods and rulesets are SC's killer deal. If players need to *buy* something from RSI to keep using their private servers, Roberts it's going to make a trizillion dollars from ancillary sells...

The clear point you're missing, is that they obviously aren't spending those resources on "real EVE content", as Rubicon has no content. Odyssey had a nifty hacking mini-game, and that was it.
I support ship balancing. Ship balancing requires one guy. How many devs does CCP have? |

PCU tells the same story, 2011 was a magnificent year right until Incarna.

We aren't asking for spaceships content to go away (as little as CCP is actually releasing for it). We're asking for like 10% Walking-in-Stations. Your patch notes should be like three pages of spaceships with a paragraph for avatars.
But as long as people like Rhes have a tantrum every time CCP does anything new, CCP is held back. I half wonder if DUST and Valkyrie are loved by CCP devs as chances to do unshackled development. EVE players cry if anything changes, so the devs have to go out and work on something altogether new, rather than improving EVE. Even spaceship content is now held back by players who are unwilling to embrace new and better concepts for the game. |
