Another noob who thinks he knows what hes talking about...so Incarna is step one right ?...hows the loads of other things CCP started and never touched again working out ? basically you lack the ability to distinguish CCP and a real game company that hasnt got their head up their arse.
This
 Faction Warfare
Tech 3
Eve Gate
As major projects, I'm sure I'm forgetting some. Not to mention the bugs, balance, and playability issues. I think it is naive to think CCP is going to iterate on Incarna any better than the other projects they have never touched again.
Like I mentioned before, I think that CCP's primary problem is growth. The company has grown so large it's hard to keep things efficient. Not to mention they have split their focus into at least 3 distinct pieces. (Dust, Eve, WoD).
A new point to make is I think CCP is becoming more conservative. CCP used to be about taking risks, developing something no one else would. Now, it seems their working philosophy is that of lowest common denominator, accessibility and mass appeal. It's a matter of the company not understanding it's player base. They are pulling a SOE here, this is going the direction of SWG. We play this game because it is complex, we play it because it's hard, we play it because it's NOT like the other games. If you change the philosophy of the game, the player base will change (or disappear like SWG).
Incarna is neat. The engine is nice looking. It HAS potential. But at this point it is a demo. This should have been shown at E3 as the expansion for later this year or next summer. I don't understand why there isn't more content. I've seen videos of the models. I've seen videos of the clothing, and the architecture. Where are they?
Hence the reason I'm calling it the worst expansion ever for Eve. THIS expansion, Incarna 1.0. I don't care about Incarna 2.0, that's ANOTHER expansion. My argument is THIS one, what we have today. Well... it blows.
Every other expansion had a lot more meat in it. Even it what it added didn't affect my gameplay at all. I could look at it and say, yeah they did this, and that, and if I was into it, it would be good.
This expansion is half-baked, unfinished. Lacking.
