There are a lot of good things to say about Incarna, and as most of you know I have been a very staunch supporter of this initiative by CCP. It somewhat pains me to point out a couple of very negative points.
1: In CQ the code seriously needs to be optimized. I have decent equipment to play on but I am averaging 5 or 6 frames a second. That being said I am not experiencing the over heating issue many report, and I do realize that you needed to see how the code would perform under full stress.
2: Very minor issue. I put a salvager 2 on my Matari Blockade Runner, and in space it floats in space a fair distance ahead of the ship.
3: The Big Issue: I'm just going to come out and say this, as much as it pains me to do so. The prices in the Noble Store are a slap in the face to your player base, and need to be adjusted downward immediately to about 10% of their current prices.
Not only are they completely out of line with the rest of the MicroTransaction gaming community, they lend credence to the arguments of everyone I have ever butted heads with on the forum that accused you of using this new system as a money grab.
I don't know what the line of thinking was when deciding the pricing structure, and (uncharacteristically) this one time I really don't care.
This is completely out of line with the impression we were given of how MicroTransactions were going to work, and it needs to be addressed immediately. As it stands right now you will make little, if any, profit from the system because few can afford to use it. However if you drop the prices to 10% of their current levels, you would easily see a 1000% increase in total profit as the bulk of the player base would begin using it over time.
My main worry is why I'm even having to explain this to you, it should be easily self evident.
I've rarely had to cry foul on the decisions CCP has made in the past, even the most controversial ones. But this, well, this one is just stupid and borderline insulting.
Please, sort it out.
