Looking at Eve-Offline, it appears that this is turning out to be the worst "expansion" ever.
Considering we also have had a major blob war is going on in 0.0, where are the numbers? Has CCP gone to the Alt trough one too many times? Even offering 99 cent alts does not seem to be having the desired effect.
So, will CCP ever wake up to reality they need to bring in new players, not just milk the old addicts for ever dime they have? Time will tell....
Posting in a "EvE is not dead yet" thread.
CCP, trading shiny pictures for playability since 2003.. EvE, a cutting edge game. The only game to provide Matrix style gameplay for the masses! (trouble is, most people don't have 9 hours to waste on a one hour fight.) |

I resent that. I'm an old addict and the expanion didn't bring anything for me either. The only positive would be the drama around POCOs. That isn't much, but that's how some expansions are. |

What are you talking about? Looks to me like TQ has more people on it than it did this time last year. The only time where PCU was higher was shortly after the summer expansion, which is normal because more people play in the summer. |

The action nowadays is in the Features & Ideas forums when they preview the expansion's changes to the playerbase[1]. Lot of blobs v. devs in TiDi threadnaught fights.
[1] By playerbase, I mean those who actually read F&I.

I wouldn't know.
I've been playing games on my Oculus Rift since the expansion.
I will admit I have logged to update my skill queues and look at a few orders.
But beyond that I have lost all interest in EVE.
I mean its not really EVE's fault other than they really didn't add that much content in that last patch.
I wouldn't say EVE is dying... Its just stagnating. "Entitlement" is a euphemism for "I hate the way you play and it makes me cry like a baby". If you fantasize about being immoral it means you enjoy being immoral deep down. Captain Tardbar: The official grumpy cat of General Discussion. |

Once the ship re-balancing is complete, CCP will be able to focus more on developing new stuff.
Personally, I think trying to produce shiny new stuff expansions every six months is simply too much for CCP.
A really shiny new and thoroughly tested expansion every nine months would be a more achievable target. This is not a signature. |

Pre-Apocrypha we used to get expansions, not really sure what has happened to all that dev time since then but now we only really get patches. Which is fine i like the fact the client is stable and ships are balanced, but to call some of these 'expansions' is a bit of a joke really. This is not a forum alt, this is a forum main. |

Since the bump is positive and has lasted more than a couple of days, it is already ahead of Incursions and IncarnaGǪ
Historically, early December has been a low-pop month (I'm guessing that people are finishing up the work/school year before the holidays) and even massively successful expansions such as Crucible and Retribution saw a downturn going into their third week for similar reasons.

Unfortunately that new stuff probably won't be for this game. Even a much needed SOV rework is on the back burner.

New Content: The majority of people won't use it. Ghost sites? Who does those things?
New Implants and equipment: It only slightly improves the stats that they nerfs took away (warp speeds).
Warp Drive re-balancing: Only nice if you use an interceptor. For everyone else there is boo hoo.
So I'm sitting here not really bothered one way or another, but I'm not really impressed by Rubicon because it doesn't affect me.

And once again a poster demonstrates that he can't fathom the concept of "it might be me". Like i always say (ie stole from someone actually good with words) "If you aren't having fun in a sandbox, it is NOT the SANDS fault".
While you're sitting there having no interest in a game you are obviously still paying for, I'm exploring in low and null, doing sites and lvl 5 missions in a ship I can reconfigure on the fly with a mobile depot (previoulsy, I'd have had to use a scout, now it's just a covert tengu). When i used a battleship, I'm dropping mobile tractors and scooping up loot I would have left on the field in the past.
I'm using my "Taxi-ceptor" to move around null sec with extreme ease instead of having to log on 2 characters (or beg in an alliance channel) for a cyno.
And later I'll be back to sitting my space-butt in a Typhoon Fleet Issue in some anomaly spamming heavy missiles from RHMLs at Blood Raiders of Sanshas just to watch them melt. And while im doing that one one screen, on the other my Stratios will be shooting lazors at the same rats on another screen (i know, I put lasers on a Stratios, I am heretic).
Half the time I read your incredibly sunshiny current postings and feel the overwhelming urge to call a Crisis hotliine and say "I don't know where he lives, just look up "Captain Tardbar" in the yellow pages". |

You and I know that, but it's something about that dude's personality that won't let him move on and won't let him recognize where his problem is. All joking aside it's it's pretty damn depressing.

The feeling I always get left with when readong a thread like this (starting with the OP) is "wow, in a game about being creative there are sure some 'not very creative' people playing". So many fun new tools in Rubicon that so many people can't figure out how to use. |
