All these new Dev blogs are simply awesome. They explain what's being done, what has been done, and what will be done in the future to improve the game and combat the shadow that lag has cast over the EVE universe. This is the type of communication the player base of EVE is used to and we welcome with open arms. While I understand it takes time to put these blogs together I hope CCP continues the trend. This should appease a good majority of those that wanted more openess on the subject of lag. Thanks a ton CCP. This is what seperates you from any other game company out there, and shows your relationship with the players is of the utmost importance to you. I think I'm going to cry.....*snif*.

Speaking of graphics, can you guys comment on the much-cherished old cyno effect (featured in the Empyrean Age trailer)? ...

Excellent blog, however I think most of the links are pointing a little bit wrong as about half of them point back the blog itself and not to other blogs which I think was the intention

One final question - I had a friend ask me about WOD a few days ago... is the implication of this dev blog that you guys plan for it to also be a massive unsharded universe too?

I don't know if you can tell us this, but the technology in that video, is that something we may see in Incarna? I remember seeing it back a while a go, very impressive stuff.

The Core Graphics guys produce the graphics technology, the EVE Developers use that to create the actual visuals so I can't say right now. Let me go ask some people across the office and get back to you.

CCP, First off, thank you again for the wonderful glimpse into your work.

Secondly, CCP, sirs, madams, I am shocked and appalled at this egregious misallocation of what seem to be extremely valuable resources. I don't want to wake up in an eve where leaving my pod only shows me a bland, dreary interior with a bunch of womens hair fluttering around.

Where is the cleavage???? I want boobies, large beautiful shapely breasts. LOTS OF THEM! I do not believe that you time has been spent wisely, I henceforth call for immediate action in reallocating all your manpower in the following manner,

1. Bouncing Boobies.
2. Everything else.

I can see that there is still hope for the CTG team, even this late in the game, you have a lot of ground to make up though. Please for the sake of all of EVE, RIGHT THIS WRONG! It will require many sleepless nights of research, development, testing, more research, more testing. But I know, that if the CTG team can pull together and get this right, you will have a MUCH happier player base.

Balls in your court CTG team. GET THIS ( . Y . ) RIGHT!

Furthermore, as our new projects continue to mature, we can take the technologies developed by them and apply them to EVE.

That, right there, is kinda what we've been waiting to hear, really. It's good that you've finally posted it. You guys are bent on posting details about the teams and what you're doing, and that's great, but really all we need are reassurances that you're not abandoning this "7-year old game" (which you've given the impression that you're doing).

So, yeah, it's an old game, and most other MMO devs out there do abandon old games in favor of making new, and the lack of progress with fixing lag, combined with you ignoring player requests to fix the things we want faster gave the impression that CCP is abandoning this game.

Your "Vision" of growing a flock of games is pretty cool.

About that video, are you implying dynamic hair and cloth collision rendering in real time? I've messed about with 3d animation and was fairly convinced such a real time render was beyond present hardware.

Are you allowed to say how many games CCP are currently working on, and of those, how many have directly given back to Eve?

dust 514 and world of darkness from what has been said over the last few years

There was mention of another game during the alliance tournament, that was not allowed to be named in public yet.

One other thing that irks me to no end.

Anti-Aliasing.

Are there any plans regarding this? This to me, would be the most welcome improvement, other than glorious bouncing breasts of course.

Look at the models teeth, they just look ******ed. It really ruins it for me.

I will add it to the list and try to find out.

This old effect sucks big time.. and it's also not 'per polygon'.. it's just a moving gradient over the whole texture-channel.
The actual cloaking is better, but if you could really make it 'per polygon'.. so that the sub-cloak-emitters come on 'one by one' and hide parts of the ship until the whole thing vanishes.. then we might be talking.

Also, before CTG or graphics team is wasting time on tampering with the cloak, there are other effects, like:
- engine trails
- ****ty sensor booster
- ****ty cyno effect,
which are in more need of some 'polish'

Anyways.. very nice blog and trend there CCP.

And again.. we didn't get an answer from the 'Boss' so far about the neglect of:
- corp roles
- POS
- FW
- bounty system
- low sec
- sov
- PI
- intel gathering (local, d-scan, probes..)
- loot melting screwing miners
- ..
for the next 17 months. There are some people waiting for a statement about this kind of topic already. Much appreciated.

I remember long ago that you guys hired a fashion designer to assist in creating the apparel for the new avatars. Are the designs present here in the Carbon demo a sample product of that effort from this individual's contributions?

ok so the core technology is being worked on ( this could potentially be outsourced via license to other gaming companies)

Sorry,

But CCP I just want a BackLog Bug Dev Blog !

Do you read the forums or will you moderate all our quality request if not in line with your marketing plan ?

Yeay

If the new character system is going to allow us to create toons that look as realistic (and stunningly gorgeous!) as the ones in that video I can indeed imagine why people would prefer to stay docked once incarnea hits.

I for one will be exploring the possibilities of opening a brothel *puts on his pimp hat*

---

We'll be opening a social club.

I hope the environment creation is just as detailed.

"The Guiding Hand Social Club is located in the main concourse of the Hyasyoda Corporation mining outpost orbiting the fifth planet of Wirashoda system, overlooking the magnificent Solari Constructs treasured by the Sisters of Eve as one of the nine wonders of our galaxy. Cover charge is fifteen kred. Dress code strictly enforced - dress for success."

I get it I get it, however what I dont get is what kind of an update your talking about for the upcoming Incursion, are we gonna be able to make / remake our characters utilizing the new carbon technology that is coming to Incursion, we still gonna be utilizing a portrait based system from it, is it gonna be full embodied characters and a portrait until WIS (Walk in Station) Arrives, is it just gonna be a few updates to the character development system... yesh, come on a few sways of hair and some cloth rendering doesnt really explain how its gonna be integrated into the Eve ONline Universe in the next 2 months, it only leads to more questions, and more confusion...
