I'm just curious. It seems rather blind to me. What's the logic behind all of this?
Does it ruin EVE gameplay? Nope, all Incarna is right now is just standing in a room. How does this ruin gameplay?
Does it ruin EVE lore? Nope, although it is rather unrealistic how pod pilots can get in and out of their pods without any downtime, they still get in and out of their pods, not as much as Incarna makes it look like but alas they still do. There are even larger plotholes. Such as the lack of a ship crew or the fact people can fly Caldari ships in the Gallente navy.
Does it make EVE less available to people? In a way, yes. Although the toll on graphics really isn't that bad. I'm running a old 2006 computer, not designed for gaming, with no hardware upgrades and I run Incarna just fine. So no ****, of course your 2004 dinosaur isn't going to work well. But what about people with internet restrictions? Well frankly that is not CCPs fault. Blame your ISP.
Could someone please explain the logic in the most unbiased way possible. All the people against Incarna look like to me are just grizzled vets who don't want the game to change in any way.

Why would anyone pay real world money for virtual clothing anyway when you could just spend it on actual clothing? Plus nobody is forcing people to buy that crap and those that do, just let them. People can spend their money how they want, even if it is on stupid things.

They are already starting to fold what what have been future features into the uber-transaction system.
That ship repainting they promised? Guess what, it's going to the aurum shop.

Eve online is spaceships. The gameplay, for 90% of the time, is in space. CCP is focusing entirely on the only non-space part of a space game, inconveniencing all the people who would rather spend as little time not in space as possible.
We were promised this would be optional in 2007-2008. We were promised that users opting out would notice no difference from before it was implemented.
Then, when the vocal (and rightly so) majority said "Have fun developing something we never plan to use" CCP essentially went "Okay then, it's no longer optional". _____________________________________ Haruhiist since December 2008

People are angry because Incarna was hyped and hyped and hyped and in the end we were given a cash shop with overpriced items.
They hyped a cash shop.
They hyped how awesome it would be to give them money. I, on a personal level, find this incredibly insulting. It's highly unlikely that this was a new development. I'm guessing that the primary motivation (at least on the beancounter side) for Incarna was because it was seen as an acceptable way to squeeze money out of people.
The fact that I am immune to their attempts to wring money out of me does not make me any less insulted by the fact that they tried to get me excited about it.
Also, this expansion effectively has no content. I don't just mean content in the missions sense, I mean that if you took the actual gameplay changes, you could pass them off collectively as Incursions 1.7. This is not an expansion. It's an attempt to extract money in combination with a patch that's masquerading as an expansion.
That insults me. That offends me. And it does not speak good things for the future of Eve Online.

Probably because obviously so much time was spent introducing bland and boring content instead of fixing what could be an incredible game.
CCP: Fix the broken parts and improve core gameplay before spending time on irrelevant fluff no one gives a **** about.
Seriously, hardly anyone gives a ****. Just fix the game.

People are afraid of change, they want to remain elitist and believe eve is the end all of mmo rpgs that never, ever ever ever ever...ever...needs to be upgraded or changed in any way.
Its really that simple, for both of those sentances.
Oh almost forgot: They are too cheap to upgrade their dinosaur computer rigs and need someone or something to hate because of that.

Edited by: Chewiest Bong on 22/06/2011 05:08:04 No real content with respect to where you spend 99% of your time (Other than Maller / Turrents) -- They spent an dev cycle working on one stupid little room where you have the minimum of options, no real ability to walk around or interact with other players. The CQ is basically a pilot's private jerking off quarters. That's all it's good for. Also huge ass bloat in terms of resources. I can use it fine at full settings, no problem. I just don't like it from a usability standpoint. It's pointless to offer the CQ without also offering the ability to walk around on space stations and interact with other pilots.
Not to mention the introduction of the AUR currency -- which was probably initially a way to be a PLEX sink, before they figured they could make absurd amounts of money on it. The last three "expansions" have been **** and the development quality is going downhill.
Not to mention, the Head of Marketing/Sales is an absolute ****ing moron who is completely divorced from reality and needs to be smacked hard upside the head. I don't like it when a company tries to nickel and dime every thing, especially since I'm already paying 45/month for it (3 accounts, all canceled now)
CCP can go **** themselves.

I don't hate incarna, long load times to stand in a box doesn't really add anything after looking around a few times. What Incarna was for most people is to be able to interact with other players, which we won't get this summer. So I wonder what's the added value?
In some spots your character still looks horrible beyond belief. They optimized some stuff to make it load faster but sometimes it realy looks so bad it makes me cry.
And oh, selling skirts for the price of a Tengu does kill immersion though. It decreases realism (as far as we had that).

It's useless? Resource hog + longer load time for no additional functionality. In fact it's a downgrade. This whole patch is fail, they even broke drones! All their development time would be better spend on EVE spaceships. Art team could be used to make space better and prettier and less resource hoggy. You know, improvements.
I'm dropping 3 accounts, CBA with this. if it wasn't for my pos I'd drop 4. ---

Edited by: Sapphire Fangborn on 22/06/2011 05:11:45 The expansion seems nice to me; I like the way my character looks and moves. Looking forward to when the station opens up. My favourite clothing item is the high heel boots. ;)
Overall, the clothing prices seem too high. Nonetheless, it's likely more logical for them to start with the prices high and then lower them rather than to have to raise them after starting too low.
Gonna be interesting to see how the rest of the expansion rolls out over the summer. So far, so good! Great stuff!

Can't wait to see what more they add. This will make EVE a true sci-fi MMORPG rather than a game of spreadsheets.

1) Resource Hog/Extremely Buggy 2) Price gouging with CCP Designer Clothes Line 3) No real improvements 4) Made the whole station experience more annoying and harder to use 5) Game play mainly happens outside the station, wasted resources for buggy/pointless character in 1 room with a mirror. Instead of giving us real content. 6) Over hyped for years 7) No option of reverting to old station, and wallpaper door background is "temporary"

I don't think it would be such an issue of the core gameplay wasn't such a ****ing mess.
I'm not necessarily against walking in stations. I'm only against it when the core game is in such a poor state.

I love what they've done with walking in stations.
I do however, have a problem with the micro transaction model in any way-shape or form being in the game. Plex/Aurum/whatever else comes down the pipe.
It breaks the immersion pretty badly and, in a game that's supposed to be player-oriented, is quite appalling when we can't design clothes or custom paint jobs. And yes, CCP can do this. We already have custom corp logo's and custom medals to make. Why can't we have a custom clothes and paintshop? Make it a profession, sell at an in-station store? I want to see EVE grow as a game, the immersion factor is VERY important for this to happen. Otherwise, it turns into a *VERY* thorny issue and will *NEVER* go away. Ever.
My objection is not to walking in stations at all. I love it through and through - I'm only saddened that, my voice goes largely unheard to CCP (along with tons of other people) and I have to vote with my wallet now. (and no, I will not support micro transactions by giving away my stuff and having people sell it to buy plex/aurum/anything else..)

I love incarna.
Personally I don't mind that there are a couple items that are rediculously expensive. Players should be able to dress in a manner that reflects their power and wealth. I think it is a really good thing
But they could have included some reasonably priced options as well for the rest of us.

It's not walking in stations that people have a problem with, it's the fact that it's been forced on those who don't want it. There really is no good reason to not have the old hangar as an option for those that prefer it to the CQ.

Simple. It's not optional. They said that they were going to make it optional, and they've even proven they can, with this temp setting. I don't even care about shipspinning, I just don't want to have this incarna **** loading.
It's fluff, it's eye candy meant to impress. But it doesn't affect gameplay in any sense.
But it's not optional, whenever I'm sitting in station, I'm often playing another game in a window, along side EVE. Not anymore.
It's also distracting whenever I'm in station.

Edited by: Kavin Alavandar on 22/06/2011 05:37:17 With all those hoarding billions of ISK, bored with their T3 and capital ship collections, EVE was in dire need of non-gameplay-mechanical cash sinks (without that ISK actually leaving the economy). The exchange of ISK to PLEX and PLEX to Aurum gets that ridiculous ISK back into circulation and stimulates the PLEX market at the same time as the languishing multi-billionaires doll their fortunes out for PLEXes for the Noble Exchange.

Originally by: Khira Kitamatsu Because they are too cheap to upgrade their ancient gaming rigs.
I wish people would get off that kick.
I have a fairly modern quad core machine with a 5770 video card, not exactly "ancient".
I can run it just fun, but the whole deal seems like a collosal waste of time and energy for what we've seen so far.
Sure I can turn off the station but then I'm stuck looking at a door. Where at least before I was looking at my ship and at a glance I could tell which one I was in before I undocked.
So how much time and energy was put into me being able to walk 50 feet down a corridor and gain exactly nothing in actual gameplay? A lot I'm guessing.
Judging from the number of post CCP should really think long and hard about how many people are basically disabling 95% of their newest expansion.

They squandared all the resources that they could have spent elsewhere, lost opportunity. Even if you draw this conversaton out to the end - what's going to be the end game for walking around in a station and do people who have played in shops for years on end really care?

Edited by: Bane Loppknow on 22/06/2011 05:52:37 I don't HATE Incarna... I just don't want to use it. It adds literally nothing to the game and it removes any sense of scale you may have had. It uses up a significant portion of my PC's resources, and generally feels like a crappy Mass Effect knock off. Why put up with all that when I can just stare at a door?
Also, $50 monacle.
Edit: Oh, I should add that I LOVE the new turrets and Maller. The rest of Incarna never happened, as far as I'm concerned.

People are hating on Incarna for one simple reason. There are TONS of other things most of us would like to be worked on instead of Incarna.
0.0 lowsec missions in high sec missions in low sec mining(all of it) the lack of people per system in 0.0 capitals vs sub capital pvp capital pvp sub cap pvp ratting missions plex's wh space lack of missle models ........
all of this stuff is what should have been worked on before CCP decided to do Incarna, WOD, Dust... I know these are done by other teams, but I'd rather ALL teams work on EVE online ships in space pvp game then all the other stuff.
Dust.. Eh.
Incarna(Not the incarna release, but the actual walking in stations part, was cool for all of 5 minutes, then I turned it off. And it'll STAY turned off till it's NEEDED. Atm, it's just ship spinning in stations. Which I CAN NO LONGER DO WTF CCP.
I know that Incarna is a whole host of improvments, but the VISUAL impact to me on a day to day basis is very little. Even the new turret effects, cool as they are, really don't affect me.
I want real world FIXES to all the broken parts of the game more then I want WIS/DUST.
QUOTE "Could someone please explain the logic in the most unbiased way possible. All the people against Incarna look like to me are just grizzled vets who don't want the game to change in any way."
The thing is, those grizzled vets, DO Want change. It's just DIFFERENT change then is what CCP wants as an overall basis. We want change that will affect US, NOT new players. If you fix all the things I listed above, we WILL get more subs. --- The REASON for being in 0.0 is to stand on a piece of sand, plant your flag, and say proudly to the alliance's around you... MINE!

"Content" that was boring after 10 minutes (that room is damn small) and switched off thereafter. And that's with most time being spent double checking the prices in the cash shop were accurate and laughing. Good use of 6 months of development time.
And it's not like there isn't lots of game-play desperately in need of some enhancement or fixing.

So many expansions, so many buggy half-assed features.
None of you understand: incarna is eye candy. It's something to keep new and old people occupied, showing them what ccp is capable of while they work on the CORE GAME so they don't have to listen to this kind of pathetic weeping over and over.
Believe it or not CCP is likely more then capable of handling tasks like chewing gum and walking at the same time. Incarna is great, and it allows them to move forward while working on the game mechanics and bugs that aren't that easy to fix...
It's likely they are working on the real issues but wanted something to catch people, something shiny and new and that's what incarna is for the most part.

Actually, I like the idea. I've been looking forward to the promised "station-walking" ever since they announced it years ago. I understand they're introducing it in phases, which makes sense. I'm also hopeful that they're going to continue to push toward the full station-walking thing, although I'm probably realistic in thinking we're not going to see actual avatar interaction for a few years.
I also like the idea of a "vanity" store. They given you a bunch of really boring "free" clothing to choose from, and then for those who want to blow the money, get some better stuff.
The implementation of the pricing, on the other hand, is ridiculous, especially with the EXTREMELY limited selection. From what I understand, the selection would have been slightly better, except there are so many graphical bugs to work out (like the "panty peeler" bug I found on SiSi with the vanity dress). I don't think Incarna was ready to be released yet, not without offering a bit more variety on the NeX and a few of the more obvious graphical bugs to be worked out.
Aside form that, the NeX is completely pointless at this time. If they had introduced it when there was full interaction between avatars, with a much fuller line of clothing and accessories, the prices would only be "insane". Currently, they're "Bat-**** ****ing crazy". I'm sure CCP will probably lower the prices, and then all 10 of the people who bought items at current prices are going to petition.
I like the idea of Incarna, but it's being horribly implemented. Since there's no avatar interaction, what's the point? If I want to strut around in CQ by myself in cute little outfits, I'll just go on SiSi and do it.

Let's see;
Years back when incarna was known as Ambulation we were promised it beeing optional, we also were promised ultra cool big stations, player ownable rooms, blueprints for clothes, rooms, interiors, exotic dancers, minigames, programmable bot agents, eve voice integration and face animations, corporation HQ with strategic map etc etc etc.
We got lot of ultra hype about incarna, even with it beeing limited to 1 room, and what we got ? Silly little room, one puppet that has "such revolutionary quality" that Sims 3 has done it a looooong time ago, silly movment and ability to get stuck behind some angles/corners, a "vanity" shop with price levels that other money based games can trully envy (since none of those charges such levels) and oh, a forced 1 minute "loading" image when you dock to pick up ammo or change a ship.
So, do we love incarna ? do we feel love from ccp ? How about they would take this thing and shovel it **** then focus on fixing the game, improving security and if you soooo much want to mess with character simulation - please go hire Sims team and let them build it.

Sure, 90% of us weren't originally interested in vanity items, but it's the principle of charging that much in the first place.
Personally i wouldnt pay anithing above 0.10 Ç for ingame items, even if id pay at all, but those price levels are just insulting bejoynd any reason.

I can understand staged development and rollout. I can understand telling the community some things and then backpedling to reality. But here's what we are facing:
What was promosed before lines up with CCP's goals of immersion and a player-driven economy.
What we have now diverges in the opposite direction of CCP's stated goals: It does not in any way, shape or form encourage a player-driven economy and it breaks immersion by creating a world where someone has to pull out their wallet and shell out a few extra.

I don't hate it either, what I HATE is the lack of a PROPER OPT OUT OPTION off the Barbie in Space simulator.
I know INCARNA will bring awesome RP and immersion oportunities, but the boneheaded move of making it MANDATORY and saying the lack of ship spinning (wich is the fastes way to equip unequip switch ships and drop loot then undock) replaced by a door was just the most blatantly brutish moves on their part.
They can all CHOKE with their incarna man hours and research for all I care, just make it optional and keep eve streamlined. Despite anything that CCP thinks or believes their product is, their product is no more and no less than PEW PEW IN SPACE. Yes, they want to diversify, do this do that, integrate DUST, blah blah, reality is a cruel master, and I hope they see that no matter what, they need to fix the CORE BUSINESS MODEL of EVE ONLINE, PEW PEW in SPACE. No more no less.
So much stuff needs fixing it's like a slap to the users ignoring them just to go on with a product they THINK is their product. The Moment EVE stops being about PEW PEW in SPACE is the moment EVE begins the downhill into anything else that is not EVE.
No EVE is not dying, its BEING MURDERED by the sheer stupidity of not seeing the blatantly obvious. Change is welcome, change is accepted, this, this is not change its a travesty. I have a pretty much decent rig that can run the pukeable CQ np, guess what "bro". That's not the issue.
Giving options is good, enforcing something is not. Ship spinning is the whole concept of streamlined, fast and efficient versus the blasphemy this is.
I was up for Incarna and hated the haters, but now I see that CCP is indeed a Blind Cyclops that chokes on money bills. My last hope is realizing within that cyclops is a group of people that will eventually see the error of their ways and continue giving us CHANGE but making the experience more amenable and not forcing us to do things their way or the highway.
Thats all.
For starters, much of the rage would be quelled if they implemented the old Station Environment to replace the UGLY DOOR of Boredom they have now , and removing the "temporary" label on it.
They can sell VIRTUAL SEX LUBE in the Cash shop for all I care, at 50000000000000$ each if they want and make monocles shoot laser beams for extra 500$, just bring the old efficient ship spinning interface. Having to walk to a console to click something is not fun not awesome, and sitting in a couch clicking stuff over and over as you wobble your head is not amazing after 5 minutes.
It's not fear of CHANGE, it's fear of the lack of FORESIGHT. Change is always good, this? this is @$%@%%@%%!!! ---Archipelago Theory---

Originally by: Blane Xero Eve online is spaceships. The gameplay, for 90% of the time, is in space. CCP is focusing entirely on the only non-space part of a space game, inconveniencing all the people who would rather spend as little time not in space as possible.
We were promised this would be optional in 2007-2008. We were promised that users opting out would notice no difference from before it was implemented.
Then, when the vocal (and rightly so) majority said "Have fun developing something we never plan to use" CCP essentially went "Okay then, it's no longer optional".
2007 was a LOOOOONG time ago - **** changes, they changed their minds...time to let it go. If it bothers you that much, go play another game, it really is that simple.

You know, this is the only part I really disagree with. Mainly because back in 2002 when they were coding Eve, and 2003 when it was launched, the Dev's never had a clue it would get so big. I challenge you to find any quote before 2004/05 saying "we've always intended to do this..." I honestly don't think you can... Wormholes: The *NEW* end game of Eve - Online.

Question:
If I buy a piece of clothing, can I take it off before doing a difficult mission? Don't think it makes sense to risk losing it when doing dangerous stuff - esp considering the cost. Hoping there's an ability to store them/switch outfits without losing the purchase.

The fact CCP have spend serious amount of time and resources on making this expansion and it adds literally no content related to flying spaceships, all they done was nerf uprobable ships.
All that time, coulda been put towards fixing FW, rebalancing supercaps, 0.0 sov fixes, pos layout/setup revamp....lots of stuff.....

ANYTHING else CCP does, is or has, has been leveraged off of the success of Eve Online. WoD / Dust are *minimum* one year from release (anyone taking bets on Dust meeting deadline?). So they aren't "bringing in cash" now.
Therefore, *ANY* money / resources / talent that was used elsewhere is money / resources / talent that was not availiable fore Eve.
The "bulk of the programming" for W.o.D. was payed for by subscriptions to Eve Online!
Considering how bad White Wolf SCREWED up Ars Magica and the Ellison books, it probably isn't CCP's fault.... Wormholes: The *NEW* end game of Eve - Online.

I agree that Incarna is nothing but a wallet-squeeze. I have no intention of paying RL money on this type of thing, and I imagine that very few people would.
As someone who in the real world has to balance effort with returns, it would be interesting to see what ccp's number crunchers think of this a few weeks in. I mean, if they have spent all this time and effort on something that at best is reveived as 'meh' and for the majority is ignored, it must be a phenomenal waste of company resources and time in a time of recession abd finacial challenge.
I wish they had made it so that it could be turned off. I have a decent machine, it runs fine, but its annoying and it spoils my gaming experience. If i want an online game that has ppl walking around in it, there are much better examples available. I play eve because i want to fly spaceships!!
But as far as those ppl buying clothing for their avatars go...seriously, you are a laughing stock.....using these things is like advertising you are a fool and were easily parted from your money.

Originally by: Fredfredbug4 I'm just curious. It seems rather blind to me. What's the logic behind all of this?
Does it ruin EVE gameplay? Nope, all Incarna is right now is just standing in a room. How does this ruin gameplay?
Does it ruin EVE lore? Nope, although it is rather unrealistic how pod pilots can get in and out of their pods without any downtime, they still get in and out of their pods, not as much as Incarna makes it look like but alas they still do. There are even larger plotholes. Such as the lack of a ship crew or the fact people can fly Caldari ships in the Gallente navy.
Does it make EVE less available to people? In a way, yes. Although the toll on graphics really isn't that bad. I'm running a old 2006 computer, not designed for gaming, with no hardware upgrades and I run Incarna just fine. So no ****, of course your 2004 dinosaur isn't going to work well. But what about people with internet restrictions? Well frankly that is not CCPs fault. Blame your ISP.
Could someone please explain the logic in the most unbiased way possible. All the people against Incarna look like to me are just grizzled vets who don't want the game to change in any way.
This game is an MMO. That means - we all play together as part of a community. We (many of us at least) - as a community - have been asking for in station characters and interaction. Our expectation? As an MMO our basic expectation was an interactive experience between players outside of the ships.
What have CCP done that appears to be so offensive?
They've given us the minimum level of implementation (1 race CQ) with zero out of pod player interaction capability - yet at the same time managed to push an MT revenue generation model in for vanity items. i.e. - rather than wait until Incarna is ready to meet player expectation, it 'appears' that it's been rushed out of the door in order to get MTs rolling. If that's true then it would indicate that money is more important than player experience. That can be taken as an insult.
Whether this is a true account or not - only CCP will know. I'm sure they'll refute it. The bottom line is that although CQ looks nice for those systems that can run it (and it's amazing how much grunt it appears to need) it does nothing to contribute to the multiplayer aspect of what is supposed to be an MMO. That's what we're playing here right? If I want to dress my dolly I go to Toys-R-Us and get a Barbie / Ken set. At the moment, we're playing monopoly solo and are being asked to pimp out Mayfair and dress the Dog in a Quafe T-Shirt for $ú$ú

God how I love the ungrateful whiny eve community that could do everything and anything so much better than CCP....
Cut them some slack guys, Incarna is just polish, it helps entice new players to Eve and if you don't want to spend ISK on novelty items then don't. As for those that are moaning about other features not being fixed... stop me if I'm correct but features have continually been tweaked over eve's lifetime (with the best of intentions in an effort to improve them). The problem is when it works you all sit there and go... 'oh nice, I like that... what about that thing over there that's not working 100%.... RAGE!!!'
Fact of the matter is Eve is an awesome MMO that gives you the ability to play the entire game for free if you have the determination through purchasing plex with in game money. They also don't charge us for continually updated features. You weren't charged for the inroduction of POS's, carriers, extra pve missions, PI, wormholes etc etc. Some of you are saying incarna is a waste of resource... whatever, come back in 3 years when CCP have implemented their full designs/intentions for Eve/Dust etc and the majority of the gamers playing at that time will probably see some of those featurs as core gameplay. Open your minds a little bit guys. Eve is not purely nul sec pvp, it caters to carebears, roleplayers, thieves/scammers, pirates etc. This expansion may not be aimed at you particualrly but you can be guranteed that somewhere in the eve community people will be loving it. Get off your high horse and let some other members of the eve community get some love. You'd think most of you people who are whining would be grateful for what you've been given over the past 8 years or so.
And Remember, CCP are only human, they're not deities and at the end of the day they run a business that needs to make profit. You can't blame them for taking an obvious path to improve profits, if they don't they'll get left behind while the competition stomps all over them.
That's my two pence for all the haters. Now bring the RAGE

The new interface is inferior to the old one and features had to be sacrificed in order to implement it, such as double clicking to open cargo bay and manipulating your ship without opening windows. Being able to walk around in a box and buy virtual sunglasses for $80 doesn't make up for the loss.

Forgive me but they seem like some pretty minor sacrifices for where CCP want to take Incarna... remeber this is nowhere near the finished product for walking in stations etc... do you not think that in 3-5 years this feature might have the ability to be awesome? Walk in a box now, walk on planets/in ships interacting with all sorts of people/items/buildings in the future.... seems to make sense to me...

with max detail, eve online in station for me would give me 20fps, idk why but it wasnt bad since it was unnoticeable as my ship bobbed up and down at 20 instead of 30fps
in space i got 25~30 fps
with CQ, i get 6~10fps, on low unplayable, now yea things update and get better, but its irrelevant, CQ has 0 purpose, it just replaces the old hanger view. on top of that, it looks pretty bad. turning station backgrounds off works, but its stupid i can no longer Open cargo with my mouse open drone bay know what ship i have without looking at the fitting window spin my ship
ON top of that aurum store thing should have a 99% off sale for the rest of its life... because the most expensive thing in that store should be 100 aurum.

i fail to see why its mandatory. i dock i am in hanger view, i want to get out and watch eve tv or go to the bar ( future update i guess) i hit the leave ship button and it happens, right now im forced to leave my ship which from a lore, performance, and functionality standpoint

The issue is that there is no gameplay. They squandered enormous resources in a thing with no fun value whatsoever while letting entire parts of the game with actual gameplay riddled with bugs and half finished features.
They squandered nothing. They have plans to add a lot more to the Incarna expansion, this was just the first part of many updates revolving around Incarna.
And thats the problem, i want internetspaceship content, not sims in space content, else id play sims. And i just see ccp wasting more time on **** most ppl who play eve for spaceships dont want, dont need.
Iam running even out of skills to skill because they stopped develop spaceship content more or less 2 years ago. Already reduced my accounts from 3 to 1 because of this, and even thisone will be paused till spaceship content, just nothing more to do for me.

I am a soldier for Godddess sake, there is no time to stroll leisurely around ones quarters .. hell most times I walk briskly in real life as well.
Drag'n'Drop is gone, to change a ship now (even in static view) requires you to go through the context menu.
It has no purpose whatsoever, adds nothing new and solves no problems. Eyecandy (resource hungry one at that!) simply for the sake of eyecandy is bad design. Sure we may have the MMO part added sometime next year, but then it shouldn't have been released until then.
Added mouse-clicks alone is enough for me to dislike it, but guess I save some when probing now ...

So like.. Do people complaining about the Cash Shop not realize they don't have to buy from it? Or they can just spend ISK? Sure.. Right now it's a LOT of isk, but still.

Drag'n'Drop is gone, to change a ship now (even in static view) requires you to go through the context menu.
It has no purpose whatsoever, adds nothing new and solves no problems. Eyecandy (resource hungry one at that!) simply for the sake of eyecandy is bad design. Sure we may have the MMO part added sometime next year, but then it shouldn't have been released until then.
Added mouse-clicks alone is enough for me to dislike it, but guess I save some when probing now ...
So by the same token should they not have released eve at all yet until 2032 when they have a fully polished game doing everything they wanted it to?

It wont bring new players, because a normal computer cannot run it, sorry to break it too you but people don't care. PC elitist may be in denial but PC gaming is a dieing breed, maybe 3 years down the road an affordable PC can run incarna at 60fps.

Originally by: Fredfredbug4 I'm just curious. It seems rather blind to me. What's the logic behind all of this?
Does it ruin EVE gameplay? Nope, all Incarna is right now is just standing in a room. How does this ruin gameplay?
The issue is that there is no gameplay. They squandered enormous resources in a thing with no fun value whatsoever while letting entire parts of the game with actual gameplay riddled with bugs and half finished features.
They squandered nothing. They have plans to add a lot more to the Incarna expansion, this was just the first part of many updates revolving around Incarna.
And thats the problem, i want internetspaceship content, not sims in space content, else id play sims. And i just see ccp wasting more time on **** most ppl who play eve for spaceships dont want, dont need.
Iam running even out of skills to skill because they stopped develop spaceship content more or less 2 years ago. Already reduced my accounts from 3 to 1 because of this, and even thisone will be paused till spaceship content, just nothing more to do for me.
well for internet spaceships you now have turret animations and they're apparentyl working on missile animations/drones nos/neuts etc...
and if you're running out of skills to train then I'd prob advise getting a job or at least getting out of the house a bit more... or juts dare I say it play eve a little less

They hyped a cash shop.
They hyped how awesome it would be to give them money. I, on a personal level, find this incredibly insulting. It's highly unlikely that this was a new development. I'm guessing that the primary motivation (at least on the beancounter side) for Incarna was because it was seen as an acceptable way to squeeze money out of people.
The fact that I am immune to their attempts to wring money out of me does not make me any less insulted by the fact that they tried to get me excited about it.
Also, this expansion effectively has no content. I don't just mean content in the missions sense, I mean that if you took the actual gameplay changes, you could pass them off collectively as Incursions 1.7. This is not an expansion. It's an attempt to extract money in combination with a patch that's masquerading as an expansion.
That insults me. That offends me. And it does not speak good things for the future of Eve Online.

Because they removed the station hangar ( and ship spinning), and thus made Incarna not optional. The removal of the station hangar also resulted in several losses of functionality ( like double clicking your ship to open ship hangar ).
The addition of microtransactions, I want the cloth, but I don't want to pay real life money for it.
After all the hype of how cool this would be they basically a 3D interface to sell microtransactions.

No, you're dreaming of a bigger picture.
This expansion did not bring you anything you wanted, unless you have very low standards, for the simple reason that it didn't actually add anything to the game. What you think you've been given is not there yet ù it's all in the future. Until (if) we get there, you will have what you want; until then, you don't. In the meantime, this expansion has reduced the functionality of the game for no useful reason.
This is the bigger picture you're missing: if it's good in the future, then that's greatà in the future. Right now, it's not great. In fact, it's much less great than it was yesterday. Seeing a very narrow slice of a presumptive future is not "the bigger picture".
I really want Incarna. This expansion is not it. Once Incarna is actually released in a year or two, I'll be pleased as Punch. ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡à you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki |

Currently, Incarna is optional. You can disable it in the menu. If you're going to complain that you want the old dock, WHY? It was useless and did nothing, all you could do was ship spin. So it is irrelevant.
Also, your percentage estimates are almost certainly waaaaay off.
Oh and maybe an affordable computer can run Incarna in a few years? Well, that's not necessary. A $300-400 computer can easily run Incarna. My old computer from 2008 can run it fine and that thing is ancient. If people don't have anything better than what I had in 2008 than that is sad because I was jobless and just out of highschool at the time yet I managed to afford one even while paying rent. So there really is no excuse for not having a decent PC, especially if you're playing a game like EvE that has clearly wanted to up the graphics for a while now, so it's not like you didn't all have time to prepare.
Basically, those complaining about CQ are (excluding those with good PC's with issues for whatever reasons.) idiots who don't understand the future vision of EvE that CCP has been talking about and showing for YEARS now and are either too stupid or lazy or SOMETHING that they did not prepare to get a decent gaming PC before CQ/Incarna launched.
So, in the end, you only have yourselves to blame for being ignorant about this whole thing. It's not like it was a surprise. You all knew it was coming and were either in denial or are just plain ignorant about this and/or how PC's and PC Gaming work in general.

Eve is about spaceships. Incarna is about using Eve to test technology for World of Darkness. Incarna adds nothing of value to the game of spaceships called Eve. There is a long list of bugs, neglected features, and worthwhile improvements to the core game play of Eve that would have been of much greater worth than introducing the ability to walk around a small, dark room. --- "The data does not support that polished quality sells better than new features." -Nathan Richardsson, Senior Producer at CCP |

So what... should CCP offer each indiviudal a tailor made update package....
'Oh I'll take the eve updates thay gave BS's, Titans, carriers and POS's but I don't want the PI, freighters or incarna, or incursion updates'
Seriously, think how much you've had since eve first came out... and now your moaning about incarna because you can't see that it;s the first step in something bigger

Incarna is what BROUGHT me to Eve and if CCP continues to do what they say they will do, Eve may just replace World of Warcraft for me.
I don't understand why people are so upset over this change that they are willing to leave the game over it. All it does is open up another aspect of the game. One that will attract a LOT of new players to the game.
Well, tell you what....if you plan on leaving, I wouldn't mind taking your assets off your hands so I can get established and caught up to all the long time players that are light years (pun intended ) ahead of me!

Wait, you didn't actually expect the whole incrana thing to come in one single update did you? This is part 1 of probably a dozen updates before you get the real incarna. You have to start somewhere though... and people seem to be raging because CCP took the first step on a longer journey. I just don't think it's fair to grief them for making the effort

What i'm upset most about, aside from people getting flamed for saying, "there's parts of the game that need fixing" by someone saying, "get a real computer then" or "get a job you lazy bum". his is way out of line for anyone here.
secondly, this "expansion" for a lack of a better word, didn't really add anything. yes, now we have a new station interface that's going to take some time to get used to, but the movement through this environment is very awkward. it takes a few seconds for your character to react to a wasd movement command, and often times your character doesn't go where you want it to. this expansion has been promised for many years, and as of now, it's finnecky at best. i'm fine with it being mandatory, when i can actually own a bar or even talk to another player, but in its beta stages? no, not great.
it has been said before, there are lots of other features that could use improvement: - a way to reduce the necessity of 0.0 cap ship blobs - a balance towards lowsec to bring more people there to shut up those whiny pirates who dont want to work for their kills - make mining unfreaking boring - rebalance the various weapons among other things
and we also get a new model for the maller, its a cool looking model, but at this rate, of one new model every year or so, your raven is going to be ugly for a long time.
then there's the NEX. having to decide whether you want to buy a t-shirt or a capital ship? seriously?
then there's also the lack of any real ccp response to anything. many players have asked about the prices in the help channel only to be answered with comments such as, "they only want to deal with the wealthiest of people". this really makes no sense cos with the money needed to buy said t-shirt can get you a fully fitted tier 3 battleship, with change.
i think that's all for now, and before anyone says it,

False, actually. The old hangar view had a lot of functionality that is gone in the CQ and non-CQ versions.

My point is a real gamer will never upgrade his pc with some crap, if u wanna make a real upgrade u need to put some money in and with 3-400$ u will not buy even good video card

Right. But that's for the people complaining they can't run Incarna at all. If they care about EvE at all, 2-300$ isn't that much money. Especially if you'll be able to play other games and have a better experience with your PC in general and/or if you've been a long time player.
Honestly, EvE is turning into the game I've wanted since I was a kid. A Space sim where I can do anything. Since I won't be able to that in real life while I'm alive, I'm personally willing to do whatever I can to keep playing until Incarna is fully realized.
Also, to those who don't seem to understand why we only got the CQ... They're releasing Incarna in stages, just like Incursion. They're testing the waters to make sure everything works right. If you're upset about bugs, then maybe you and other people should have hopped onto the Duality server to test Incarna before it launched to help squash the bugs. But you probably didn't. Now CCP has released Incarna and the bugs are showing up, so now they'll be fixed. As for functionality lost... That does kind of suck, but I personally haven't had any issues outside of not being able to drag and drop my ship to select it. Everything else, you'll get used to. If not? Move on or wait for a fix if there is to be one.
I love Incarna. Even if there isn't much to do right now, I know in the future there will be. That and I'm just happy to stretch my virtual legs. The promise of Incarna is what got me into EvE so long ago, I'm happy it's finally here in any form. --- The ≡v≡ Online Forums: where all the kiddies go to whine.

The big issue that has everyone's goad with incarna can be solved with one simple step. One simple, entirely optional, entirely NOT massive change.
Leave incarna as is. Bring back old hangar.
Let me choose which to use.
Bam, I can run my fast normal hangar, or I can play with incarna's still clunky and unfinished stuff.
Eventually being able to run around in a giant space station and visit my friends will be fun. Right now, sure, its useless. Eventually I'd like to make use of it. But I don't want or need to use it EVERY time I dock.
I want to be able to use my CQ and more, but also be able to not use it when I'm more interested in fast loading station environments for in and out kind of usage.
And thats the key. Incarna isn't the worst thing to happen to eve, it just needs an "off" button.

To the OP:
!. While Incarna doesn't ruin gameplay in of itself (as long as I can disable the damned CQ) neither does it add to it, while online I like many I know spend only enough time in station to reload/reship then get back out into the REAL gameplay environment. Hell even my trading toon does most of his trading in space while moving stuff from A to B.
2. As to EvE lore, who cares that much.
3. Yes it does make EvE less available I'm afraid, I run a reasonable PC system and this patch has increased the load on it. I can no longer run two clients and have them both in space which means I now have to decide if today is a PvP day or an ISK making day rather than have the option to switch between these activities easily. You may say get a better system but I am not a rich man and cannot afford to upgrade my system for at least another six months especially in the current economic climate as I have a mortgage to pay and a family to support. How do you justify that kind of expense for a game that ran perfectly well before this patch.
4. Finally, I don't consider myself in any way a bitter vet as my main is only just over two years old but I did not subscribe to EvE to play a lame version of the Sims. I subscribed because I was exposed to Elite at a formative age and I want to go into space in big spaceships and blow stuff up as well as being merchant prince. Incarna and CQ hold no interest for me and are of no use to me, if I wanted a FPS there are plenty to play but I don't. I want ship to ship combat and ANYTHING that detracts from that core activity is bad.
So enjoy your space Barbie by all means but please, please, please don't force me to take part in it to. I just want to blow stuff up.

The thing that really bothers people is that Eve is a huge project. It takes a lot of time and money to create it. A lot of people have been helping the construction of Eve as we play it as its built. CCP appears to be envious of the money Blizzard makes and they are willing to destroy what they have created and throw the people who helped them get this far under a buss to attract players like you, who have raged and made articles trying to make people who play Eve look like we need to be locked up because they (you?) didn't understand the nature of Eve and would never have helped CCP make it this far.
That what I think at least.

I dont hate Incarna; it contains several small fixes that I appreciate and, assuming the "undock and lose your implants" bug is fixed, doesn't make anything worse for me.
I'm just hugely disappointed by it is all. 2 years of resource starvation for the main game in order to get one room I can't leave, with different links to a few station services to occupy me, is underwhelming to say the least.
Thank God for Team BFF and Team Gridlock. One wonders what they might have achieved with even 10% of the resources poured into Walking In Prison?

Except that they're not doing it like that.
Incursions the patch was released in stages. Incursions the game feature was not. In fact, that was the whole thing that triggered the staged roll-out: that they had a lot of small stuff that had nothing to do with the actual incursions and which could be released stand-alone. The incursions themselves hit full on in a single patch.
Moreover, I have to ask the same question that has been asked in many other threads, but which no-one has been able to answer so far: why are people getting so butthurt over the idea that other players want the option not to walk in stations? Whether their lack of interest is for technical or RP or convenience reasons, why do they so absolutely have to be forced to use content that have no interest in using? ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡à you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki |

Originally by: Blane Xero Eve online is spaceships. The gameplay, for 90% of the time, is in space. CCP is focusing entirely on the only non-space part of a space game, inconveniencing all the people who would rather spend as little time not in space as possible.
We were promised this would be optional in 2007-2008. We were promised that users opting out would notice no difference from before it was implemented.
Then, when the vocal (and rightly so) majority said "Have fun developing something we never plan to use" CCP essentially went "Okay then, it's no longer optional".
In 2008 CCP said in fanfest that their objective is to make the best SCIFI experience out there.
EVE isnt just space ships, it's about the universe and SCIFI.

welcome to the world of business.. that's called profit maximisation... believe it or not they're here to make money, like it or not. Everyone's doing it. You don't complain about being charged for food/water do you?
yes when they sell a total of 15 items and lost 100 subscribers they will make lots of money stop being a moron/troll other then the turrets ( which are awsome imo) the whole expansion is worthles CQ is not as functional as old hanger Aurum store is at least 75% to expensive i dont care if they add new items if the previous is a guide then holy ****. i dont care if you CQ is in the game, but i should have to dock in my closet.

The overall quality of this release is pretty poor. Some ship models have been poorly modified to support the now higher number of turret hardpoints (now : 2x number of highslots vs. old: 2x number of turretslots). Reason behind this increase of needed turrethardpoints is that now every highslot is correlating with 2 turrethardpoints.
The "skins" for the turrets are not available for a huge amount of ships. While there are colorschemes for t1 ships, the turrets look odd on faction ships like the daredevil or cynabal.
Often you can see the "old" turret hardpoint (circle-like strucure on the surface of your ship) even if new turrets are fitted. Sometimes it looks like the new turret is sunk into the old hardpoint.
New turret icons in the UI look crappy.
Incarna creates on some systems an extrem cpu / gpu load.
Vanity items which are horrible expensive.
Long loading times for station environment.
Spinning char instead of spinning ships.
And many other, smaller bugs / missconceptions.
All in all people seem to get the feeling that CCP uses the EVE Community and the players to test their software-framework for "World of Darkness". And at the same time they seem to try to milk as much money from the players, as possible.
This patch looks like a minor bugfix and minor visual overhaul, a World of Darkness tech demo and the "I am rich" app.

The vast majority of the content we were expecting in "Incarna" wasn't delivered, up to and including the CQs for the other three races.
They still haven't allowed access to all clothes and hairstyles on all races.
They have made content that was originally supposed to be optional non-optional.
It's a bad expansion, lacking content, and what meagre content there is fails to impress. ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor

I love Incarna - I just wish it was better programmed.
But for the same reasons I love Incarna, I hate the microtransaction shop in equal measure. It's completely immersion breaking. Why do pants cost more than a battleship?
Incarna is two steps forward in creating a true role play experience, but NEX is two steps back in world building. And between those two, world building is far more important when it comes to game experience from a roleplayer perspective.

Incarna makes the 1st step of a dangerous way CCP is taking in which they will end loosing the spirit of the game. I play this to fly Internet Space ships. I donÆt want to walk on stations, fight in stations; I donÆt want to buy items with RL Money to improve my avatar. And I will not do it. I donÆt like Incarna because the amount of resources that CCP seems to be committing to this Incarna Path will cause either they admit it or not that their main focus will start heading to parts of the game that I really donÆt care, meaning that my Internet Space ships will start to be slowly but surely "forgotten".

If you have an issue, take it up with CCP, but do not slam a new player for expressing their opinion of the game even if it is not one you agree with. You are not EVE...we are a community made up of many players and it takes more than you, or just me to make the game what it is. This new player is just one of many that I am sure will find EVE more to their liking now that there appears to be a glimmer of hope that this game will actually be more than a game of spreadsheets.
So go crawl back into whatever basement you crawled out of shut you proverbial pie-hole, because it is players like you that give this game a bad reputation.

Originally by: Fredfredbug4 I'm just curious. It seems rather blind to me. What's the logic behind all of this?
The features I am OK with.
What I dislike is the microtransactions, and the web of obfuscation CCP spins around it to sugar coat it.
It boils down to that CCP is not happy with our subscriptions, and want more money. So now plexes are needed to release aurum. Maybe you or I do not need to pay for the plex, but somone have to. So RL money have to go into Aurum to unlock the new features CCP made. This is explained away as "only vanity items", but it is still part of the game, and it is new features that is put behind a pay wall for teh subscribers with more RL money. It is discrimination against thoose that got less RL money, and less time ingame to grind for these new items. And we have to look at our chars as well now, through captains quarters, this of cours emakes it easier to "market" their new items.
CCP could just as easily have made use of isk in this new store, and thoose who wanted to use plex could have done so. Thus making all features avaliable to all paying customers, not just thoose who pay more.
Boils down to greed from CCP's side, and they try to make it harmeless by giving us quite frankly bull**** like "not becoming a dinosaur" etc. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I love CCP and EVE. Have since I started playing almost two years ago. I have followed the new expansions with great enthusiasm and joy in that time. I have also spent plenty of time reading the rage on forums every time something new was released. I always laughed it off as 'people hating change' and 'elitists demanding entitlements'. This is the first expansions that has gotten me to chime in. I can appreciate what ccp is trying to do and where they are taking the game. I love the fact that they want to add to the realistic nature of the game with in station walk around and social interaction. I applaud their efforts. For the most part no one is being forced to do much in station if they don't want to. But that's the problem that they are being forced to do anything in station they don't want to. Especially when there are so many issues being reported. That's the next problem I have being going over forums for a few hours now since I originally came on to post a minor bug. Tons of reports of real problems ontop of the usual amount of hate AND NO RESPONSE. No 'hey we'll look into this' no 'we hear you and this is our plan to fix it' not even a 'sorry lads that's the way it is and if you don't like it there is the airlock'. NOTHING AT ALL. This is not what I have come to expect from a company that does a great deal to care for their consumers. As if to show they really don't care about us there it is in great big letters the ultimate proof that someone has lost all touch with the customer base. 3600 AU for a single pair of pants. Oh sure it's a mere 500,000,000 isk. Some can crank that out int less than a day. But its the fact that someone was forced to pay 30+ US for a pair of pants that the graphic rendering in the current CQ system will turn to mush anyway. CCP is telling us that that pair of pants is more important that a month of playing the game we all love so much. More than our ships and modules. I can honestly say I have never paid more for a outfit that my car. and my car doesn't help me further the cause of my empire. How is that not trashing eve lore.
So in conclusion you asked why the anger of Incarna? Why the rage and frustration? As far as I can tell it was because EVE was a game beloved by many not just because of it's thrilling content but also because UNTIL INCARNA CCP has been there for us the subscriber. Treating us with respect and not as cash cows. Feeling out the community, taking care of our needs and even sometimes our wants. Following there dreams to make a truly wonderful game be all that they wanted it to be but taking us along with them for the ride not just tying us to the back of the car like so many MMOs. Perhaps some have just gotten to used to the good life and that makes this apparent abandonment so much harder to swallow. Some of these problems are an easy fix some are more complicated I withhold final judgment until I see some response, any response from CCP.
I hope that provides you with an unbiased look at the logic behind the rage and I hope that I haven't offended anyone by including them in a generalized statement they see as false. (posted here in hope it gets seen by some one at CCP)

Because of the total abomination that is MT and the NeX store that they have piggy-backed onto it.
The CQ is pretty cool imo - appart from the fact that you have to leave your pod even to re-ship (geez )

it's next to worthless. you'll know when you turn off station environment and suddenly realize you're not missing anything.
what ****es me off? is that some idiot over there decided it would be a good idea to invest THOUSANDS of developer hours into such useless stuff, imagine if all that time could have been spent working on actual spaceships, which is what 90%+ of the playerbase are paying for.
oh yes, the 'paying for' argument. the players pay ccp money, ccp delivers a game and future improvements upon that game (and please don't get into -other games expansions cost money- because the ccp 'expansions' have FAR LESS content than any of the free content patches WoW and Rift have, so let's be realistic on this mkay?). now they are obviously using that money to develop a freaking single player CQ which doesnt really do ANYTHING for the game now, does it? and put a 'microtransactions' store right next to it, which is also ridiculously EMPTY and excessively OVERPRICED.
i don't hate incarna, i just think it is utterly bad and therefore, for manymany people out there, completely worthless. i don't hate it, i hate the guy who thought it would be a good idea to spend such an amount of resources into worthless features instead of working on either new fun stuff for SPACE or FIX some of the issues out there. he should actually get fired over this, because the lack of judgement is just astounding.

Not very perceptive.
The issue is CPU/GPU cycles wasted on pointless eye candy that sacrifices game content in favor of a poor attempt at revenue generation. All that is required to make people happy is the ability to opt out to the old hangar screen and skip the resource hogging graphics that serve no useful purpose.
This is not likely to happen, as the intent will be to force people into the CQ and require them to deal with their avatars. This will be done to advertise to the captive audience, in the hope that it will drive a handful more players to purchase these silly clothing items and generate more revenue.
I can't imagine there's not some programmers at CCP thinking "I told them so" today.

Originally by: MaEVE Kelly Incarna is what BROUGHT me to EVE and if CCP continues to do what they say they will do, EVE may just replace World of Warcraft for me.
The thing that really bothers people is that EVE is a huge project. It takes a lot of time and money to create it. A lot of people have been helping the construction of EVE as we play it as its built. CCP appears to be envious of the money Blizzard makes and they are willing to destroy what they have created and throw the people who helped them get this far under a bus to attract players like you, who have raged and made articles trying to make people who play EVE look like we need to be locked up because they (you?) didn't understand the nature of EVE and would never have helped CCP make it this far.
That what I think at least.
Well, you really didn't think then. You know NOTHING about me as a gamer and yet you personally attack me and state that I and people like me are the ones responsible for ruining EVE. Let me tell you something, CCP is doing what it needs to do to be competitive by expanding their game to attract additional types of gamers. Yes, you are right it takes a lot of time and money to create a game. And it isn't a matter of envy but a matter of economics. If you were the owner of CCP, wouldn't you like the kind of resources Blizzard or EA Games has in order to put back into the game?
Look, whether you like it or not, there is a HUGE market for people who want to play "space Barbies" and engage in personal interactions with their characters. How much time did you spend on your avatar? Looks like some people take a LOT of creating their avatars and commenting on others. There are even whole threads on it here. So they must care on SOME level about their "space Barbie". There are some that just take it a little further. So what....let them hang out in the space station and those that want to blow stuff up can get in their little ships and fly out into space and blow stuff up.
What some of you are missing is; those new peeps that want to hang out in the station and dress up in the new gear need to make in game money SOME way. They are going to bring in opportunity for those wanting to "blow stuff up". They will be ignorant and inexperienced. And as the saying goes, ôa fool and his money are soon partedö. They WILL be part of what the game is about.
And if CCP continues to take it further to add run-and-gun FPS combat, here come another group of gamers and another aspect of the game generating even more opportunity: welcome Dust 514.
Now, if you don't like these additional aspects, you don't have to partake in them. Continue farming ore, pirating or salvaging, warring on other factions or corporations. If that is ALL you want to do, Incarna is not stopping that.

Originally by: Hesperius Um no. I'm a new player who knows EVE pretty well. That was all in regards to WoW players in general who come to EVE, not new players. I know there are always exceptions but in general WoW players come here and expect WoW in space and make a big stink when it isn't.
This WoW player did NOT expect WoW in space. I knew what EVE was and it just didn't have an aspect of games that I like. I like role playing and it is hard to role play a ship. Having a character that walks around and interacts with their environment and other players is why I play other games. I love the SIMS because of what that game offers. I also like WoW for what it offers. And while there is some attraction for me to "blow stuff up", it just wasn't enough. I need my character. And a majority of the gaming public thinks that way. It is why Blizzard and EA Games hold the top spots in sales, fan base and subscriptions. And now that CCP is offering this in EVE, well, here I am. I have everything I want in one game.
So you might want to think a little more before you over generalize and jump on a new person and point the finger at them. All it will do is run off someone else that was willing to put money in CCP's hands that in turn will provide them the assets to invest in their product.
And it comes off as even more smug because you are not even a vet and yet you are speaking like YOU are one of the "people who helped them [CCP] get this farö and are being thrown under the bus. I didnÆt know your investment in PLAYING a game, that you might even be playing for FREE if you are making enough ISK to buy Plex, entitled you to dictate what a company does with that game.
Good job....

Doing it right involves: - not alienating your core playerbase - not implementing stuff that's not finished - not taking away stuff that has proven to be useful, stable and appreciated - implementing gameplay, not placeholders - realising that in games having choice is always better, especially when you need to cater to an MMO audience which has proven to be not very enthusiastic when it comes to hardware requirements.
What brings more people to this game, or any game for that matter is decent gameplay. Incarna is lacking decent gameplay.
I could care less about what the future might bring, because if there's one thing the eight+ years I've been around here have teached me... then that would be the fact that CCP totally suck when it comes to following up on, improving and iterating on what they've implemented. Prime example: Sound engine. It sucks ass ever since it was "updated". Nothing has been done to fix it, ever.

Edited by: Ssakaa on 22/06/2011 10:46:35 Was going to make a new thread, but I'll simply add in some additional views in this one. Role-players needn't read, because most of the following may not float their kissed-out red floatboats.
Character immersion/emotive connection with avatar.
Love it. For the first time since 2008, I can identify with my EVE avatar, rather than the backside of a spaceship. Any 'emotional attachment' I had previously built up for her magnified almost immediately to surprising levels. I spent a lot of time on her 'story' over the years -yesterday she embodied the work put in.
Despite the poor frame rate, with all settings at low (mea culpa for using a Radeon card, no less), when my main character starts examining her fingernails when she's not taking a walking tour of the CQ -an astoundingly co-incidental personal touch across all my characters in all the RP MMOs that I still enjoy - I was sold. Naturally, this is a subjective thing, but somehow, I really want this to be the start of a new EVE -where character involvement/interaction must come first -as in all good storytelling, Sci-Fi or otherwise. I'd like to hear the views of other IGS readers/contributors on this subj.
Anyway, I applaud CCP for this move towards a more fleshed-out universe. Bravo.
Nexus
Prices are silly if not outright absurd, clearly.
Edit:
CCP -- If customers are actually losing hardware and a host of less serious issues, as is reported, then this is disquieting if not outright worrying from your corporate perspective, no?
In short, love the direction this is taking us, but there seems to be more than a few angry paying customers who you'll need to answer, ASAP.

First - CCP is, you know, rolling out more to Incarna over the next few months. They stated this was merely the first of many parts of this expansion. So you, nor I, or anyone can claim to be in the know as to what CCP has in store for EVE. As for your "alienating your core player base", what aspects of the current game play did they change? Right now they have change very little as to how the game plays. In fact they stated that they will be changing things in the future(as soon as this December - they stated they all ready have people looking at Bounty system, Sov system, and many other O.O aspects of EVE) - so your argument falls on its face right there.
In fact your whole spiel is bad - you still play EVE despite all that you claim is wrong with it. If you really felt the way you do, you'd have quit long ago. If CCP is such a bad game company - put your money where your mouth is and unsubscribe - today. Simple as that.

What i hate about Incarna: 1) Useless station enviroment 2) That new station enviroment is not needed at all - they could just limit it to the balcony, if they wanted this **** so much. 2) CCP have proven to be moneyhungry developers which chose money over playr community (in case of creating an eyecandy to bring new players to the game) 3) New icons of turrets are just UGLY, give us our old icons please. 4) New gate sentry laser effect is ugly and too thin.
What eveonline devs have been doing all this time? This worthless CQ? This idiotic item-mall? I turned of CQ just after 5 mins of playing - i usually play in 2 or more windows, like most part of eve players and don't want that useless and laggish thing. And now i have to stare at some ugly wallpaper? Give us our old hangar please and make presentations to new players using your CQ - it is all it's capable for. Сущее формировано, форма существ |

O let me see...
ITS FRACKING MANDATORY !!!!
It breaks immersion being forced out of my pod every time I dock.
Its extremely heavy on my PC, I have to lower my games settings for it to run smoothly but by doing so the rest of the game which still runs fine looks like crap. My framerate go's from 60+ (outside station) to -15 (in the CQ) on my normal settings on a very powerfull 2000 dollar gaming laptop.
I can no longer easily right click my ship to get the drop down menu. Instead I have to use go to my hangar window. Dragging items into my ships or opening its cargo hold by clicking it was also removed.
O right I forgot something... 80 DOLLAR MONOCLES!!!!!!! --------------------------------------------- Somewhere beyond happyness and sadness, I need to calculate what creates my own madness o/ |

When some of the CCP devs mentioned League of Legends as an example on eve tv (i gues it was AT finals day) suddenly it became clear what CCP wnat to achieve Well... i cant blame them.. if i wanted to earn money for the same product I would do the same  The difference is .. You dont need to subscribe for LoL Eve... now u will need sub. and make some extra microtransaction

let's see
captains quarters with clunky movement controls but ok you can turn that off and look at a door instead.. great and what can you do in there? sit down and admire the horrible lighting, awesome i like the holograms, but that's about it
no more double click to open cargo.. well that's annoying
stupidly overpriced "micro"transactions (i mean come on)
implants disappearing
having to talk to an agent to get station info off them because it's magically vanished
changing icons for (so far i've noticed) strip miners, salvagers and tractors (looks like CCP are doing the whole "realism = brown" thing)
no more ship spinning
standing info STILL missing
Quote: Does it ruin EVE lore? Nope
actually yes it does, let's see you magically INSTANTLY appear from your pod - which you're wired into - fully clothed, your apparently now clothed in your pod - with indestructable clothes and eye implant no less, oh and let's see EVERY station in game is now magically minmatar
honestly i try not to complain about patches but i just fail to see any up side from this at all, we've got captains quarters which every single person i've spoken to has turned off after a quick walk around, we've got CCP basically delivering a big **** you to people with the 'micro'transactions oh and new turrets which after a few hours (at most) you'll go back to not paying any attention to
point out the actual content again please? sure they fixed a few bugs but honestly the only thing from this entire "expansion" that i was interested in was putting the standings back in the game which says something really doesn't it, that the thing i'm looking forward to most is something they removed after completely ignoring their players all screaming saying it was bloody stupid to remove it in the first place

'Hate' is abit much of a reaction to Incarna, best reserved for the emo.
I dont like incarna as i think the 'freedom' this feature offers will mostly only be abused as soon as people can interact with each other in character view. I predict that due to the average ultra-nerd playing Eve, walking around in stations will probabily end up with people just doing stuff like trying to make their characters look like drag queens and look like they're humping stuff and other people.
One day soon, getting into Goonswarm will prob require you to stand your character in a station environment and endure a 'gang-bang' of dry-humping from a bunch of geeks bashing a 'hop' key.
As long as CCP make it so players can always opt out of this character view rubbish, all will be fine.

For me it's pretty simple. Bought this computer in 2008 new and it won't run the client. Still looking for ways to fix that, but money is extremely tight since I lost my job. For other people though, some summaries:
1. New shiny clothing in the game that is far too expensive. More expensive than 90% or more people IRL would be willing to pay for the same items irl, ever. They think ccp are being greedy bastards. I think the fictionalized animation someone made about the intent there might be right on the money. When they drop the prices by 70% and people start buying them in hordes, it's still going to be far more expensive than a traditional MICROtransaction game. In this regard I think they might be greedy bastards (and also not very smart), but I also agree with people that say you can avoid this part of the game by just not participating in it. If they set the precedent for offering ships in the NEX store I'd have to believe people would suicide gank them on principle.
2. Game focus. A large percentage of the coding seems to have gone into the incarna release without very much content introduction. Some people think that being able to walk around in stations should not trump say, classic gameplay in space (content, bugfixes or improvements) or other problems that seem to have existed for years without being addressed or even looked at. I can understand this point of view and I agree with it.
3. Hardware favoring. Many people seem a bit put off about the Nvidia/ATI thing. I don't know enough about it, but there seems to be angry people there (I personally have an ATI card but I already knew it wasn't going to work and was looking for overtime so I could replace it - failed).
4. Not happy about arum or whatever the hell they're called in general and with respect to what they'll do to plex prices. I don't think this will be true at all unless the store prices come down, because you'd have to be downright crazy to buy that **** at those prices.
I think that about sums it up, but I might have missed a couple of points.

don't have a link but i seem to recall reading that it was to reduce server load due to it pulling that info up on every person you looked at the info for (why not just add a button instead i don't know) and i believe that the people defending it were screaming it was a GOOD thing because it meant you couldn't look at a persons standings to see who they ran missions for etc while the people attacking the change were pointing out that it would cause huge problems for corps, faction warefare and so on

Edited by: Nukleanis on 22/06/2011 11:57:54 I think Incarna does some stuff pretty well (new turrets, for instance) and the main screen in CQ is something I could stare at for hours, but let's take a quick reality check.
1) Walking in stations was supposed to be optional. CCP have gone back on their word. As a rule I don't tend to buy products or services from companies that go back on their word. However, I will make an exception for EVE.
2) Prices of items: 1 PLEX costs Ç19.95, which is ú17.78 (I'm all English and stuff). That ú17.78 is worth 3,500 aurum. A monocle costs 12,000 aurum, or 3.42 PLEX. ú17.78 x 3.42 = ú60.80. To make it a little easier for folks to understand, I visited nammi.is to see what the equivalent of ú60.80 will buy us in real-life Icelandic Krona (11,269.32 ISK):
1x 5-pack SS Hot dogs (500 gr.) Isk.1.673
1x Dry Fried Onions (100 gr.) Isk.271
1x 15 Hot Dog Buns Isk.645
4x Appelsfn (500 ml) Isk.936
5x Skyr.is Blueberry (500 gr.) Isk.3.225
5x Nizza - S·kkula=iperlum (55 gr) Isk.1.030
1x Angora Socks * Color - Black * Size - 36-39 Isk.3.500
Subtotal: 11.280 ISK.
Lunch / dinner for five days and some socks. Do try the blueberry skyr if you can. It's really quite nice. As are Nizza bars. :)
3) It makes my cooling fans go haywire very quickly. I've not checked the temperatures yet, but it's a pretty well-ventilated quad-core system with a 460GTX card. Hopefully not too ancient.
4) The dev blogs weren't all that great and, to be frank, were very glib. "You can spend Aurum! We will have a store! Wheee!" That's all well and good, but there wasn't much information on how to access the store and precisely what vanity items were making it to release. I only figured it out after finding the NEX button (which I didn't see documented in dev blogs or the wiki) in CQ. Or maybe I'm just dumb.
5) CQ lighting. When Nukleanis goes for a stroll from his pod to the sofa to take in the news, a hot dog and a cool Appelsin, he looks a little... morose. He doesn't look like a smug Amarrian anymore. He looks depressed.

5) CQ lighting. When Nukleanis goes for a stroll from his pod to the sofa to take in the news, a hot dog and a cool Appelsin, he looks a little... morose. He doesn't look like a smug Amarrian anymore. He looks depressed.
Wait... 12000 aurum for one characther modification?????
I have not logged on since I patched up last night, and I knew it was going to be a lot more then on Sisi of course, but that is just silly! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Exactly why do people hate Incarna so much?
1. Because it is once again another update that fails to deliver the balance changes that paying players have been asking for for months! 2. Because now some people can't even play EVE on their machnine without fear of a computer meltdown. 3. Because CCP has shown that they are more interested in making money than improving the gameplay (by far the most important feature of any computer game) on an already super cool game. - Ofc, one can argue that if they make more money they can push through features faster.... 4. Because people always have so much faith and high expectations when a new patch comes out and most people are always disappointed with the actual changes. 5. Because hybrids are still crap. - Oh how long will CCP make us wait!!! How long!!

Originally by: Blane Xero Eve online is spaceships. The gameplay, for 90% of the time, is in space. CCP is focusing entirely on the only non-space part of a space game, inconveniencing all the people who would rather spend as little time not in space as possible.
We were promised this would be optional in 2007-2008. We were promised that users opting out would notice no difference from before it was implemented.
Then, when the vocal (and rightly so) majority said "Have fun developing something we never plan to use" CCP essentially went "Okay then, it's no longer optional".
Exactly this.
Internet Spaceships=Awesome and pretty much unique as far as MMOs go.
3D Avatars walking around = thousands of other MMOs. Most of which have better fps, some have nicer gfx, all have better control systems. Even if/when CCP adds more content and actual gameplay to Incarna, it'll still be brought down by the 80's style (lack of) control of your character and the ****ty performance.
Are there some people that actually want all this Incarna stuff? I'm sure there are. If CCP had simply made the default docking into hanger with a button to disembark into the CQ, you wouldn't see a tenth of the complaints on the forum.
Between the mandatory nature of CQ, the terrible coding that creates such poor performance, and the apparent Dev time focus on WIS instead of internet spaceships, Eve players are well justified in complaining about this patch.
People aren't even complaining that much about the microtransactions, other than the hilarious prices.

3- Because its useless and runs SLOWER than crysis 2 on same hardware
4- Because its useless and mandatory
5- Because its useless and has REMOVED some very important usability features (liek drag and drop the ship to change it)
6- Because its useless and shows that CCP thinks we are idiots with that Aurum clothes that cost more than real life stuff. ------------------------------------------------- If brute force doesn't solve your problem... you are not using enough

A lot of people have been helping the construction of Eve as we play it as its built. CCP appears to be envious of the money Blizzard makes and they are willing to destroy what they have created and throw the people who helped them get this far under a buss to attract players like you, who have raged and made articles trying to make people who play Eve look like we need to be locked up because they (you?) didn't understand the nature of Eve and would never have helped CCP make it this far.
That what I think at least.
Wait...what? From what I can tell it is players like you that discourage new players from even trying EVE because of your whiney p.i.s.s-poor, holier-than-thou, I'm a vet and new players have to kiss my ass because I have spent time in this game longer than you. Well guess what "little miss peaches and cream, and I'm a vet, and I earned my right to diss new players", you do not have the right to do squat - especially slam a new player that is for the first time coming to play this great MMORPG.
If you have an issue, take it up with CCP, but do not slam a new player for expressing their opinion of the game even if it is not one you agree with. You are not EVE...we are a community made up of many players and it takes more than you, or just me, to make the game what it is. This new player is just one of many that I am sure will find EVE more to their liking now that there appears to be a glimmer of hope that this game will actually be more than a game of spreadsheets.

TL;DR Incarna has some minor issues, but people really aren't fully understanding the circumstances under which the expansion is released.
I have to agree with people on the fact that currently the clothing shop seems gravely overpriced and that people should probably be still allowed the option of using the old station view.
That's where my agreeance ends though. Walking in stations, I believe to be a welcomed addition. Something which will only improve.
The performance doesn't seem to be all that bad. People complaining about it must have some issues with their machines or are running much older systems. I have a current laptop which only cost me around 800 dollars and I run Incarna on max settings with no lag. Although I understand people are going to have money issues and buying a new system is not something to be done unless you're truly poor I find it hard to believe that you can make at least some minor adjustments to your system or pick up hand-me-down hardware.
The time for this to be released has been quite a bit, but I think people don't understand what they've actually been doing. Although there aren't many apparent improvements CCP has been developing entire new systems to handle the upcoming expansions. After this and perhaps the next I believe will be seeing larger content updates. Of course it should also be remembered that recently CCP has changed its development cycles. We get content every 6 months opposed to a year.
There are gameplay elements to this expansion as well. They just aren't entirely apparent to vets. Aurora is back, we have an updated Tutorial, missions were shuffled around, etc. If you PvP you haven't seen anything new, obviously, but by appealing to the experience of newer players the games ranks might bolster in due course.
Incarna also doesn't truly interfere all that much with current gameplay. Sure when you dock you might have to wait a bit longer if you have CQ turned on, sure the interface might feel a bit unnatural, but I believe these things will pass. New interfaces always feel strange, after walking around for a little bit in station I found that the controls can be enjoyable - you just have to learn them. Functionality with the interface isn't all that removed. You can still access any of your hanger options from the icon menu on the left.

Edited by: I''thari on 22/06/2011 13:11:39 1. Instead CCP could have redone spacehisp models, make visible missile bays, better explosions, actual shiend animation when it hit by somehitng? Countless other things come to mind that's not "ooohhhh, shinyyy" (which is CCP favorite lately), but listing that stuff can take literally forever.
2. It's not optional, and it nerfs good old ship spinning.
3. misrotransactions (really? in p2p game? as if they don't get enough money from PLEXes)... and store pricing. 1b isk monocles, yeah, sure...
4. yes, it does ruin lore (no snae capsuleer would exit POD just to load ammo to a ship) and gameplay (doubleclick -> open cargo for one)...
5. lack of understanding that what this game needs after 8 years of constant expansions (which are full of unfinished crap lately) is fixing, not shiny stuff. "Shiny" might work until you log in and see that it's basicly utter crap in terms of gameplay, won't do much more. And supply of "ohhh, snihyy" people tend to run out. Hell, it still has font from times when 1024x768 was standard resolution (and not even lowest "supported"). Guess CCP wants average customer to have 1 month subscription, not 6.
6. CCP and their money grab ideas in general
Originally by: Kronus Heilgar You are charging people who work for free to make your game better you asshats
out of context, but still
7. another not finised expansion CCP promice to make work right later... oh, and they seemingly released this small chunk (of original chunk they were planing) because it worked "flawless", thus bringing less bugs in game. Oh well, at least they finished main part of expansion - THE ITEM SHOP!
8. while it supposed to be for immersion stuff, it breaks what little of it was before (on a side note: MMOs are generaly about epeen, not immersion... like it or not) because of some stuptid desing descisions (which, as usual, was pointed out in feedback CCP so "cares" about)...
think I've had enough of typing for now... |

I see where they are going with CQ and I'm impressed I know this is just one of the many changes that's coming in preparation for Dust514 I'm excited I'm newb BTW and loving EVE.

People hate Incarna because it's living testament to the fact that CCP has got a new girlfriend and we are now considered sloppy seconds.
EVE is now a live test server for World of Darkness and a 'unique selling point' for DUST.
How about we get an update where you dont break everything
How about we actually update more than one ship skin per expansion cycle (****, do them all now)

Yeah, they've pretty much said that we won't see that.

Originally by: Fredfredbug4 I'm just curious. It seems rather blind to me. What's the logic behind all of this?
Does it ruin EVE gameplay? Nope, all Incarna is right now is just standing in a room. How does this ruin gameplay?
I can't play the game on my laptop anymore, which isn't a bad machine at all. Thankfully I have a desktop that can play eve, but now I need to drop over a grand on a new laptop in order to play eve outside my apartment.
Originally by: Fredfredbug4
Does it ruin EVE lore? Nope, although it is rather unrealistic how pod pilots can get in and out of their pods without any downtime, they still get in and out of their pods, not as much as Incarna makes it look like but alas they still do. There are even larger plotholes. Such as the lack of a ship crew or the fact people can fly Caldari ships in the Gallente navy.
Yeah it does break lore a little bit. Not forcing us to load station environment and doing it like the old demo would mean that people like those on my laptop could still play eve online since shader model 3 wouldn't be a NEED.
Originally by: Fredfredbug4
Does it make EVE less available to people? In a way, yes. Although the toll on graphics really isn't that bad. I'm running a old 2006 computer, not designed for gaming, with no hardware upgrades and I run Incarna just fine. So no ****, of course your 2004 dinosaur isn't going to work well. But what about people with internet restrictions? Well frankly that is not CCPs fault. Blame your ISP.
Got my laptop around 2007. So yeah this restricts a healthy number of players from eve. Anyone who hasn't dumped the cash into a new machine in the past two years or didn't put over a grand USD into a machine is out of eve now. And let's not forget the people with AMD processors that are burning out.
Originally by: Fredfredbug4
Could someone please explain the logic in the most unbiased way possible. All the people against Incarna look like to me are just grizzled vets who don't want the game to change in any way.
I like what I'm seeing with Incarna. I really do. The cleaned up character creator that doesn't take a month to load is nice. I'm enjoying tinkering with my characters looks and making them not look awful anymore.
Walking in stations is still sorta cumbersome and slow, in the end I'm not going to bother with it.
It's VERY frustrating to not even be able to log in to change a skill on my laptop. Just adding an Eve-gate function or something to add a skill to the queue would make me happy. But some times, I'm away for a weekend, and I want to log on, run a mission real fast in high sec and be done with it. Now, I can't.
So CCP has diminished my experience with Eve Online in quantity already by axing my laptop from the usable systems.
Quality really hasn't gone up. Ty CCP for fixing the UI for colorblind people by the way, it's brighter and really pops now. Aurum and PLEX... hrm... idk about the $80 Monocle... I'd rather rent Scuba gear for a weekend lol.
In the end, Incarna took away more than it gave. It took players from the game, and hardware from many players. It gave us pretty dress up dolls, and a new interface for the old system.
Sure it's pretty, but those of us without large pools of disposable income to hurl at a new computer are simply looking at letting their accounts lapse and evaluating if getting a new computer is worth the expense just to play one MMO which frankly has started to become less and less interesting with every expansion.
I'm trimming down the amount of accounts I use now, I don't need the 5th one any longer. I don't want to buy a new laptop out of the fear that in 2-3 years CCP will do this all over again and I'll be out another grand.
I mean... now I'm forced with the choice 'Buy a new laptop' or 'Go to fanfest'. And now, no matter my choice, I can't play eve in Iceland... thanks CCP.
I <3 Incarna... like I <3 Cancer.

AUR and microtransactions. Eve is now just another game where you pay money to get useless things for your little sim. This isnt eve anymore. This horrible, horrible patch changed the nature of eve for the worse and it's making people like me think it's time to quit before eve loses the rest of its charm.

Confirming that Crysis 2 gets better FPS compared to the EVE CQ environment at maxed-out graphics settings for both.
Welcome to some time ago - what to do so CQ isn't universally hated. CQ is sort of nice, I guess. But lack of options, mandatory nature = INSTAHATE You guys never listen early enough nor make noise strong enough when it matters. Guess what, even the "(do not) load station environment" is supposed to be TEMPORARY only.

Quick recap, in case CCP insists on keeping CQ the default environment : * MANDATORY - separate the CQ from the non-CQ graphics detail settings into two completely separate groups which you can set differently * MANDATORY - keep the ESC menu option to not load any environment at all * STRONGLY PREFERRED - add some even lower graphics detail levels for CQ * OPTIONAL BUT HIGHLY DESIRABLE - do not delete the current hangar environments AND make them an alternative (default disabled) via the ESC menu _

Originally by: Jennifer Starling I don't hate incarna, long load times to stand in a box doesn't really add anything after looking around a few times. What Incarna was for most people is to be able to interact with other players, which we won't get this summer. So I wonder what's the added value?
In some spots your character still looks horrible beyond belief. They optimized some stuff to make it load faster but sometimes it realy looks so bad it makes me cry.
And oh, selling skirts for the price of a Tengu does kill immersion though. It decreases realism (as far as we had that).
3/10
I echo this sentiment.
From the start we were told that "Walking In Stations".. which was later given them name "Incarna".. would be just that... "Walking in Stations".
Walking in a room, by yourself, is a far cry from what we were originally promised in this expansion. When they originally announced Captains Quarters, I assumed it would be a teaser to Incarna.... not the whole dang expansion.
The exorbanant prices for vanity items is a whole other subject all together.

There just isnt any justification of the development of a space barbie sim's in space simulator, instead of fixing the horribly broken core gameplay, that has been ignored for so long.
What we have recieved during the last patches is broken, bugfilled fluff, that add's no content whatsoever.

Your whole assesment breaks down in the face of reality.
Because in reality, when you branch out to open up new alleys you really need to step your game up and do it right. You can'T go "Hey we're now going to build the Batmobile!!" and then forget to bring the damn wheels.
Doing it right involves: - not alienating your core playerbase - not implementing stuff that's not finished - not taking away stuff that has proven to be useful, stable and appreciated - implementing gameplay, not placeholders - realising that in games having choice is always better, especially when you need to cater to an MMO audience which has proven to be not very enthusiastic when it comes to hardware requirements.
What brings more people to this game, or any game for that matter is decent gameplay. Incarna is lacking decent gameplay.
I could care less about what the future might bring, because if there's one thing the eight+ years I've been around here have teached me... then that would be the fact that CCP totally suck when it comes to following up on, improving and iterating on what they've implemented. Prime example: Sound engine. It sucks ass ever since it was "updated". Nothing has been done to fix it, ever.
This.
Ohmif***ingGod, THIS!!!!
(They dumbed down the sound of the medium-sized auto-cannons--the Dual 180 Tech IIs were some of the best-sounding guns in the game--like a giant AK-47 on full auto, mixed with a jackhammer pounding into steel, overlaid with just a soupcon of speed-drill--and what we have now is that lame, wimpy, tinny sound that all the T I guns had.../Me cries--Stop genericising and lame-ifying my game, for Gods' sake! The sound-engine's been bo11ocked-up since Apocrypha, and nothing--absolutley f**king NOTHING--has ever been done to fix it!)
Oh, and Maeve, you forget one critical point, which shows just how little you really understand about EVE:
Every PLEX--EVERY SINGLE ONE*--that now exists in this game was created from real money, as all future PLEX' probably will be. You, or I, or Bob-the-Ebbil-Scawwy-Piwwate can buy a PLEX, right now with ISK we've made, and inasmuch that we are not paying real money for it at this time, then for us, it is "free."
But:
Somewhere, someone, almost certainly, did indeed pay real money for the GTC that generated it. Also, what about the time used to make the ISK needed to buy it? If that PLEX really is "free," then would not your/my/everyone else who uses PLEX's time be value-less? By definition? Also, we had to pay for the game-time one way or the other--RL money, or time to make in-game money for PLEX--to be able to grind that ISK in the first place.
The only thing in life that is truly free is death.

Originally by: Fredfredbug4 Does it ruin EVE gameplay? Nope, all Incarna is right now is just standing in a room. How does this ruin gameplay?
You are missing the point. CCP has been developing Incarna for 5+ years, and devoting to it the majority of their resources at least for the last 18 months. And in the meantime, lackluster half-baked rushed-out expansions and features such as Factional Warfare or Planetary Interaction have been pretty much left to rot. No new ships with Incarna - such as the T3 frigates that have been mentioned in the past - or rebalancing existing ones or any other new shinies pertaining to the core of what EVE was supposed to be about: spaceships.
And Incarna is so utterly useless as released (not to mention how it's been forced on us), it's going to take a whole lot more development resources in the future to give it any sort of purpose - even if it's a purpose the majority(?) of us don't give a sh*t about, or would rather play another game specifically designed from the ground up for it. Resources that could be used to further flesh out, develop and expand on EVE's spaceships core.
That's how us, the ones who play and subscribe to EVE for internet spaceships, feel we've been screwed with this whole new direction CCP is taking the game, and how Incarna has affected our gameplay: look up "opportunity cost".
It's not going "forward", it's going "sideways".

Not reading 7 pages, responding to the OP:
I don't hate Incarna. I hate the obscene amount of developer time that has been spent on it, rather than being spent of fixing the dozen or so half assed major gameplay features such as FW, PI, low sec, industry, etc. I actually stopped playing for 6-8 months last year after they released a dev blog detailing how many people they were taking off the actual game in order to shove this nonsense out. I decided to stop paying for a game they weren't going to work on anymore.
I also hate that CQ is apparently not optional like they originally said it would be. I don't care how much you're able to compress the data, loading an entire 3d environment is going to take more time and resources than the old docking system. Just make it optional and you instantly make every player happy, AND don't have to throw out the old code.
EVE is supposed to be a sandbox, where each player gets to decide how they want to play. I want to play with spaceships. I don't care AT ALL about having a regular avatar. If I want that, I'll go play one of the other thousands of video games on the market.

It's not that it "ruins" the gameplay - it's that Incarna represents a vast amount of development time that was wasted on something that does not IMPROVE the gameplay.

It's pretty subjective to condemn this expansion. Pretty deja vu as well.
I played Dungeons and Dragons from 2006 to recently, and they've had had microtransactions and a successful free to play model for a while now. The free to play/microtransaction mechanics are trending to become more and more prevalent in gaming and are here to stay - it's profitable and brings in the new players games need to survive.
When the microtransactions and DDO Store were announced there was all kinds of outcry and protest and threats to quit, most plaintively from veterans. At that time, I wasn't crazy about the concept either. But frankly I ended up quite liking it once it went live for the fun factor, and quite a few vets adapted. There are plenty of parallels with Eve when it comes to how the community is responding - all MMOs seem to have the same kind of forum rage. The senior citizen vets hate change that isn't old school, and have angst towards anyone that likes newfangled ideas etc.
In time, vets will either adapt and be flexible, or move on to um, don't know what. :p Minecraft?
The thing I find odd, is that this same community seems to see buying plex as a good short cut to getting isk and insta-trained characters (personally think that's a massive humungous cheat - so I won't do it). The exchange of plex for aurim, on the other hand, to enable buying cosmetic/fluff items seems harmless compared to the plex for isk/effortless character trading.
Incarna is potentially fun for players with imagination. I don't see why being a space ship pilot in Eve would entail having no glimpse of a flesh and blood clone that needs upkeep. That's taking modesty to a new level. :P
I hope the company will lower the cosmetic prices, and give us some kind of wardrobe so that we can switch back to the free clothing when there's a risk of losing the fancy stuff in battle.
I like the expansion, but then I'm not an senior in Eve (3 months in Eve), and I've been this route before in DDO.

Maybe even posting that information, someone here on the forums who is a computer wiz may be able to help you with configs or suggestions that could get you up and running....

Without bothering to read all the replies, I think it's quite simple. This patch represents a MASSIVE investment in money that CCP has put into making this walking-in-stations. All of which has basically zero effect to the core heart of what eve is. Eve isn't about pretty avatars, clothes and monocles, it's about blasting the ape crap out of other people and crapping on their grave. This entire patch is just a huge waste of money. It's not adding a single thing or fixing what should be fixed. Next expansion is going to be even more of the same, useless features.
There are some serious core problems with eve (*cough* 0.0 *cough*) that HAVE to be addressed faster than they seem to be willing to do. Personally I don't see EVE being a competitive IP in the gaming market if they keep neglecting fixing core problems with the game.
As someone who has played this game for YEARS, to be honest, I haven't seen a single expansion in the past couple years that actually improves the game. We got wormholes, a big flop, we got factional warfare, a big flop, we got incursions, another flop, the list goes on... and heres yet another expansion, another huge waste of money.
Then again we also have good ol' DUST, another colossal waste of money. I'd be really surprised if they even break even on that game for development costs.
I think it really boils down to how long you've been playing eve. I can almost bet that the vast majority of people that are ****ED have been playing >4 years, whereas the vast majority of defenders and people who can't see whats wrong with this as being relativity new players <2 years.
I just hope someone at CCP gets their head out of their ass and steers the company back on it's original path before it's too late and they wreck.

(atleast to a degree it adds something) Overpriced Expensive Pointless Items The CQ experiance is very bad and feels clumsy and slow Poorly animated characters
on the otherhand, nice turrets. It Has Potential but its far from ready and it should be possible to opt out and have ship spinning back the experience is FAR better.

Originally by: Malcanis I dont hate Incarna; it contains several small fixes that I appreciate and, assuming the "undock and lose your implants" bug is fixed, doesn't make anything worse for me.
I'm just hugely disappointed by it is all. 2 years of resource starvation for the main game in order to get one room I can't leave, with different links to a few station services to occupy me, is underwhelming to say the least.
Thank God for Team BFF and Team Gridlock. One wonders what they might have achieved with even 10% of the resources poured into Walking In Prison?
^^ That. They could have remodeled the Naglfar to add the 3rd turret with 10% of the effort they spent modeling the lip on my avatar. And yet balancing the Naglfar has been on hold because art assets are apparently hard.

They told us: Want new and better clothes? We don't have enough resorces. Pay for them to get them. Ok, following your logic, CCP: Please, add remade ship models of old ships to the item mall - people will buy them for sure.
I think nobody will give us back our old docking system, because it'll make all that work made by CCP to be wasted.
P.S. As a person who watched all fanfest stream: i'm forseeing SP vouchers and SP remap vouchers appearing at item mall. ------------------------------------------------ The signature is bugged. |

Originally by: Khira Kitamatsu First - CCP is, you know, rolling out more to Incarna over the next few months. They stated this was merely the first of many parts of this expansion. So you, nor I, or anyone can claim to be in the know as to what CCP has in store for EVE.
You, too, will soon learn that what CCP say they'll do and what actually happens rarely ever adds up. There's no point in arguing any further. You just stick around and watch. At some point in future you will look back and think to yourself "Damnit... he was right after all.".
Quote: As for your "alienating your core player base", what aspects of the current game play did they change? Right now they have change very little as to how the game plays.
If you're amongst those who can't run CQ because of hardware limitations or whatever you're going to loose functionality down to the point where you can't even tell what ship you've got active anymore. Many UI elements that were given with the hangar view are now either gone completely or slower to access.
In terms of actual gameplay CQ offers nothing to whomever is playing the game for more than a few days. It takes away features we've gotten used to and appreciate because they were better and faster than what the "expansion" brings.
The point of an "expansion" is to expand on what we have, not take it away just to replace it with something that might look better (which is entirely subjective btw) without actually adding value.
Quote: In fact they stated that they will be changing things in the future(as soon as this December - they stated they all ready have people looking at Bounty system, Sov system, and many other O.O aspects of EVE) - so your argument falls on its face right there.
See above. I don't care what they say they'll do because they've broken promises many times over. I mean just look at Incarna. They announced "Captain's Quarters" and actually implemented 1/4th of it. There's three CQs missing if you haven't noticed?
Quote: In fact your whole spiel is bad - you still play EVE despite all that you claim is wrong with it. If you really felt the way you do, you'd have quit long ago. If CCP is such a bad game company - put your money where your mouth is and unsubscribe - today. Simple as that.
Look... I'm criticising what CCP do because in a sense this game's been part of my life since just over eight years and I wanna see it succeed. I've probably been lurking these forums before you even knew this game existed. Don't you tell me you know **** all about how I feel. I feel great. I seen people like you come and go, repeatedly. And I will probably still be here long after your ass left.

To all you people saying 'don't be cheap, buy a new computer' I ask, do you really think people should buy a new computer just to play a video game? If they had a computer which was sufficient to play the game, they should just upgrade it at the whim of a developer? Do you think they will do this when there is no perceived improvement in the gameplay itself? Sure, opinions may vary, but personally, I'm disappointed and would not buy a new computer for this. I don't think it is reasonable to expect people to do so, even if the expansion were universally considered awesome.

I don't like Incarna being forced on the people who don't want it, and though I have little interest in microtransaction clothes, I'm disappointed that a well respected company like CCP would charge customers the kind of prices you'd expect from a terrible F2P game.

Does it ruin EVE lore? Nope, although it is rather unrealistic how pod pilots can get in and out of their pods without any downtime, they still get in and out of their pods, not as much as Incarna makes it look like but alas they still do. There are even larger plotholes. Such as the lack of a ship crew or the fact people can fly Caldari ships in the Gallente navy.
Does it make EVE less available to people? In a way, yes. Although the toll on graphics really isn't that bad. I'm running a old 2006 computer, not designed for gaming, with no hardware upgrades and I run Incarna just fine. So no ****, of course your 2004 dinosaur isn't going to work well. But what about people with internet restrictions? Well frankly that is not CCPs fault. Blame your ISP.
Could someone please explain the logic in the most unbiased way possible. All the people against Incarna look like to me are just grizzled vets who don't want the game to change in any way.
This has to be a troll, otherwise, you must have missed the dozens of threads all over the forums about Incarna. I would respectfully suggest reading the threads, this would bring you up to speed quickly and save you having to make another thread. Sent from a campfire using smoke signals. |

I currently hate it cuz my NEW amd quad CPU screams for dear life whenever I load the CQ. My ati hd 6950 is fine, and goes only a few degrees up in temp.. Oh, and lighting is attrocious.
On the other hand turrets are fab..though maybe small t2 ac's could've been made a bit more badass..
So if CCP optimizes it soon, I'm gonna enjoy it even. Afterall this is a first step of a huge release, so I'm willing to cut some slack.

Ok. Does it ruin EvE gameplay? Yes. Let's say your 0.0 system is being attacked by a huge spike of reds. And let's say you're in a noctis. You're going to dock up and jump back out in your dps/tackle boat. Incursion: 45 seconds. Incarna: 3-10 minutes due to load times...there is nothing in the CQ that should be that gpu/cpu/hard drive intensive.
Just one example of how uberbloated this update is.

Re-phrase that, mate:
New clothes, that you can only buy with RL money, unlike ships* [...]
* And does anyone seriously believe that AUR-only ships that confer in-game advantages aren't far behind? Do they, seriously? Why, just because those lying bags of c**t at CCP say so? "More gold (either in-game or RL)= I win" is what the WoW crowd understands, is used to, and wants. The WoW-crowd is whom CCP is so cravenly pandering to. Ergo sum, CCP will give that crowd what they want, sooner or later, and probably sooner than later.
Look:
I love EVE. I absolutely love EVE, everything about it, warts and all, everything I've learned and experienced since I first hopped on a trial near then end of Empyrean Age. the fact that I can still learn and experience new things every time I log on after all this time...It is so because EVE is what it is. Or, what it was, now.
Which is why I cannot dishonour this thing I love by being anything less than coldly, objectively rational here:
EVE is finished.
Just because you fit a DCU II to a battleship doesn't mean you're not in any less trouble when that fleet that just dropped on you gets you into structure. Well, the WoW/generic MMO crowd is that fleet, and it would seem that CCP has a habit of selling out blues to the enemy when there's profit in it.
I feel like I'm watching a good friend die, for f**k's sake.

why do I have issue with Incarna?
1) it was released when it was obviously not ready. It's buggy, and glitches ( this is noticed on maxed settings) and it was that way on SiSi 1 day before patch. Rather than waiting, to get it right, they released it anyway.
2) regardless of whether your PC is old or epic, Incarna pulls way more resources than a jail cell sized virtual room ought to.
3) NEX .. they want you to buy things like faction standings, ammo, and other items directly with real money. this little clothing store is just the beginning read this PDF - http://www.mediafire.com/?ccl135embyb6c2v
4) I have been playing 6yrs minus a 18mo break in 09 and there are many bugs still around that were around when I started that makes it seem like CCP really doesn't care about Eve. That Eve is just a money source and a place to test new graphic tech for it's other project WoD.
5) 3 months of game time = Pirate Battleship (fitted?) = 1 new outfit ( that only you can appreciate at this time) ???
that concludes my reasons at this time.. maybe more later

For me, it ruins Eve lore. Clothes cost, literally billions of isk. According to lore, our ships have crews. They come with the ship. Yet the clothes cost more than the ship. I suppose the crew are naked? How can they afford clothes? If they have clothes, why can't I confiscate their clothes and make them run around naked. I could sell the clothes from the crew of a battleship for trillions of isk!
I think many other people have covered many of the other problems people have with this expansion, but that's my 2 aura.
