because they don't want to make pleople cry !!
Official announce : all team of ccp are working Hard on FiS features .....

Official announce : All of CCP are working hard on the DUST beta

Team Avatar was made to work on the avatar system ,get over it

Right now they are working with basic concepts for game play.

They came up with a reasonable concept and a prototype to test.

The key word being prototype.

They may very well have found that their were some flaw's in the basic concept that require a change... or they may very well have found a way to may the game play even more unique to the EVE universe and don't want to make that information public just yet.

We knew going in this was going to take a while to get right, don't get impatient (and silly) about it now.

your guess is as good as any


Bc of the sudden decision of not allowing the blog TA made by some management pricks without even telling, why .We are left in the dark about it.......again

They could implement multiplayer CQs. Not the whole nine yards of WiS with hawezome gameplay and shiny, just make baby steps to keep us content after they pissed on our face with Incarna. Also to keep spending money on WiS so it becomes more and more difficult to justify abandoning it.

Because as we are now, they could plain remove the CQ from the client (they already stopped updating it), say "that was all folks" and call it a day until there is a new chance to implement WiS once DUST makes big bucks and WoD is at full production speed and can share some resources with granny EVE.

Because, you know, we the WiSers are "expendable" customers. Or so they think, and hang me if I know how to prove them wrong.

The year was 2006. We saw this...

There's little point releasing a dev blog about something that isn't going to be even close to a playable release in the next 12 months, and CCP has a poor record when they've done similar 'long term forecasting' in the past. And going by this thread, all they'd get in response is posts about "management pricks" and "ccp lying to us" and "lets shoot statues and unsubscribe in protest".

i didn,t ask for a forecast, i did ask for something that was promised and ready to post

The thing that was promised and ready to post was a forecast.

hth

Given that the prototype work has already been shown at a number of fan gatherings, and can be found on youtube, I would have thought it would make sense to do a dev blog since it's already been made somewhat public already

Can't get this thought out of my head.

Dust players, new to the EVE universe, are going to be wandering about
stations, visiting with each other, making conections, planning battles. They
will likely be just socializing too.

So, at what point do they interact with Classic EVE players? Will they have to
contact them through the forums?

Will they even bother trying to get to know any Classic EVE players, if they
have to use forums or text chat while they themselfs can walk about chatting
with voice?

It is going to be a tragic mistake if Classic EVE players and Dust514 players
are not able to walk on stations together and connect from day one of the
Dust release. So much opportunity will be lost.

But.. Its not clear if they will see each other anywhere other than the surface of a planet. In station they get quarters much like our CQ. Their door may well be locked too.

They have social areas.

While we, who have paved the way for them, will need to wait 2-3 more years
for such a feature.

It`s such a frustrating load of crap.

Really? I hope you did not violate a NDA there....

But maybe getting us into those same areas is going to happen when Dust goes public, and the reason for the dev blog disappearing.

Maybe the Devs should consider doing a Kickstarter fund for Incarna, we donate Aurum to the project (in return for exclusive in game rewards) and if we reach the target goal CCP implements a feature for Incarna.

Wait, so you donate Aurum (remember, most of that 5500 everyone got is unspent). You get stuff equal in value to that Aurum (exclusivity = High Price). Then CCP spends more money on Incarna for you.

I don't think you're clear on how "Fundraising" works.

A kickstarter would be fine. But I think you're underestimating how much money it would require to hire a staff to put out more Incarna faster without taking more resources away from FIS.
