I don't agree, we certainly do want FiS but that doesn't mean we don't wasn more WiS. I think a lot of us do! And leaving WiS as single player prison cell CQ is a reminder that CCP can't keep its promises. The interview makes it clear there is no plan in the works or even being discussed to take WiS beyond the prison cell.
So if you wanted WiS please post in this thread because I think a lot of us want CCP to deliver more of what they have promised use for years now.
DO NOT ABANDON WiS!! LET US OUT THAT DOOR!!!!
Issler I bolded the part I want to correct. There is a plan. The plan is to take things slower than originally planned but also to eventually figure out a way for characters to interact in a meaningful way. We don't have a lot of details yet but we have a team working on WiS as per their recent dev blog Here's also a recent recorded interview with t0rfifrans where he discusses this among other things
There seems to be a reoccurring misconception about the communities stance on WiS. It is shocking to me how often our response about WiS/Incarna is incomplete or massively over simplified.
The real disappointment wasn't solely the fact that CCP shifted resources away from FiS stuff. The REAL disappointment is from the fact that Incarna was the most pathetic feature ever launched. 4 years of planning and programming and testing and making videos showing off station environment, talking about mini games smuggling, added to the communities perception of what this could bring to EVE, turning it into a COMPLETE Sifi game with meaning full avatar game play, and all we got was a small dimly lit room!?! There was more Incarna released with the character created and after with Crucible then there was with incarna!
I can only speculate on the amount of time resources and awesome talent contained within CCP that was thrown out he window.
I am all for WiS, bring the meaningful avatar game play on! Give me establishments, smuggling, and eventually some FPS elements. Like the eluded to fighting with sleepers at one of their sites. The thought is F#$*ing awesome. But after years and years of talk and teasers don't EVEN bother giving me a single room!
Then it was the implementation, forcing everyone to use WiS after you'd promised us that wouldn't happen. With the totally shameless over priced NEX store. WTFGǪ As for the question of pay to winGǪ I honestly can't remember anything said or done which suggested that was going to happen. However I am also, totally against it.
I know that CCP has realized they made a mistake and its encouraging that they did so and stated it. But I really wonder if they understand what went wrong. There is no reasonable way WiS could be taken any slower if 4+ years amounted to just 4 small roomsGǪ well you do the math, that is unbelievably slow. WiS is still a great idea but after "18 months" of talk and promise neither the WiS part nor the FiS part made, and I mean really, any progress. <-- if anything that is a lesson in expectations management, and at best I believe that embodies the REAL Frustration the player base had and has.
I am thrilled to see the work that is currently being done. The progress you've made in the last six months or so, is awesome. The things that are coming out soon, are again, all kinds of awesomeness. I really appreciate it. I can only hope what I've said here helps to define the true problem. IMHO, I believe that if WiS was as full featured as eluded to up until Incarna it would have been a smash hit across the board. Of course there are all ways the hatersGǪ but thatGÇÖs all they know how to do. Them hating something is.. Well.. Meaningless.
Disclaimer - This is just my opinion. I've been a loyal customer for over 3 years and have 3 accounts. Eve is one of the best MMO out there. I apologize for the adversarial tone of this post but it sparked a bit of passion within me. I wouldn't bother posting this if I felt otherwise. Lastly, CCP Guard I just want to say I appreciate you sticking with these issues, taking the heat but still coming thru to delieve whatever info you can gather. Your awesome man!
