Well.... yet another fail idea from CCP development.... but come on guys.... with Zulu as SP, are you really all that surprised? I mean this is the same guy that was involved hip-deep in the missile nerf (both times), the Raven nerf, AND the speed nerf. I am not saying which, if any where good or bad, that is not what this thread is about. All I am saying is that with a guy like Zulu in charge, who is obviously COMPLETELY not interested in player satisfaction, and could care less what we think or want, as long as the world according to Zulu marches its divine way forward all-knowing and all-seeing in its infinite wisdom (note the sarcasm).... Are you REALLY so surprised something like this piece of crap is being forced on us?
I mean, sleeper AIs and weapon's tech in High Sec?!?!? Seriously Zulu?!? Are you TRYING to get people to quit!?!? I mean, you take the most aggressive and destructive AI ever unleashed in Eve and you sick it on the noobs?!? Again, SERIOUSLY!??!
Don't get me wrong... I love the Sleeper AI. I go into WH space and dance with them all the time. They are just plain fun. I give you guys full marks for that. But, hell, I have been playing the game for going on 8 years. In general terms, I know what the hell I am doing. But, to unleash this on players that maybe have been in game for weeks if not days.... that's just.... well.... sadistic; at best.
And don't even get me started about the reward system!! What the hell are you thinking??!? You get NOTHING unless you trust potential strangers, or bring a bunch of your buddies to one place at one time all of which greatly exposes you to potential War Dec threats that you might be under... Wow.... SERIOUSLY?!??! I mean I can understand you getting more and more stingy with rewards in Eve to try and control the wild beast of an economy you claim to watch..... but facing some of the toughest enemies in PvE in Eve with a very high potential of getting NOTHING, no matter how hard or long you fight, or how many you actually kill?!?!? Yeah. Uhhh.... I'll get right on that. NOT!
One final point I would like to make, and this is directed right at the devs: You do realize what your last trailer was all about right? No. Not the Incursion trailer. Cast you memory a little bit further back than that. That's right devs. You CAN actually remember the arbitrary things you have done in the past if you try. I'm talking about the Causality trailer. Yeah. That one.
The trailer where you make it a point of beating everybody over the head with the very accurate fact that in Eve YOU CAN'T TRUST ANYBODY! And your next expansion's focus is: TRUST PEOPLE OR YOU GET NOTHING.
Seriously Devs.... WTF.
For goodness sake.... you already have the system in place to make rewards automatically sharable on the fly. Freaking use it! Kill mails automatically identify who was involved with a kill. Yes, this is a PvP tool, but there is no reason it couldn't be effective here with a little tweaking and, unfortunately, yes, a little actual WORK and CREATIVITY from the devs....
Damn deves. Actually THINK before you do something for once.
Oh, yeah, if anyone hadn't guessed... I don't think Incursion is worth a crap as implemented. I was VERY excited and thought it had MASSIVE potential, UNTIL we actually started to get to see how this was going to be implemented, and then my enthusiasm went down to a "Why are you guys even bothering?" level.
Seriously Devs.... go back to the drawing board and completely rethink how you want to do this.
Ok guys. Flame away. I know I kinda went on a rant there. So, I guess I kinda deserve it. Just had to get all that off my chest though.
Back to enjoying the parts of the game CCP HASN'T mucked up yet I guess.
Peace everybody.
