Cearain Caldari The IMPERIUM of LaZy NATION	Posted - 2011.08.30 22:30:00 - [1] Edited by: Cearain on 30/08/2011 22:31:02 Edited by: Cearain on 30/08/2011 22:30:46 In June 2010 CCP said Incarna was taking up so many resources that FW and several other things would not be worked on for 18 months. So it will probably be 3-5 months before we hear about anything - assuming everything with incarna is going to plan. It was terrible news to hear it back in june but they did tell us. CCP soundwave said FW was very high on the priority list so nothing suggests that fw is dead or dying. It's just that 18 months is a long time. I don't think anyone was working on fw so its not like anyone would have anything new to say about it at a round table. FW has too much potential to be scrapped. -Cearain Make fw pvp not pve http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1329906&page=1

If it is so high on their priority, why have they not given any feedback in this thread for MONTHS now??? http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1489084 I started it when I found out from a corp mate who was at fanfest that they didn't show up to the round table. It had some initial CCP interaction and promises of feedback from CCP Soundwave. But we heard nothing. The interview from PAX where Soundwave said it was a "high priority" is the first feedback we've had for months, and I would hardly call it solid... Yeah I agree that was bad to say they would give feed back and then not give any. I think someone in that thread said ccp soundwave would give feedback. But he probably didn't realize there was no feed back to give. They really haven't given any feed back on low sec. But I don't think that means they are going to scrap all of low sec. The only facts we have is that 1) In June 2010 they said it would be 18 months. 2) They had no feed back to give at fanfest 2011, and they apparently have no feedback to give in August 2011 other than to say no work has been done on it but it is a high priority. I think they are smart enough to realize fw can be a huge draw to eve and will not just abandon it when all it really needs is some minor fixing up. But if people want to scream that it is dead they can. It may be dead, but I don't think so. -Cearain Make fw pvp not pve http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1329906&page=1

You would think so wouldn't you. However these same people believe that MT and playing dress up are the future of Eve. So yeah I wouldn't put to much faith into that. Yeah but I would think they have to realize that was a mistake at this point. Yes there was an outcry when CCP basically said they were going to abandon spaceships for 18 months but there were also some players posting about how much they were looking forward to dress up. Hell there are still some players saying they look forward to incarna - as if they don't realize it is already here! But the 18 months is about to run. I think CCP is probably realizing they need to cap off the resources in "avatar walking" and start working on the large parts of the game that actually involve game play and are broken and neglected. FW is an obvious one. -Cearain Make fw pvp not pve http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1329906&page=1

So yeah I wouldn't put to much faith into that. +1 Actually there are different teams with differing priorities. One of those teams probably has an eye on FW. I'm sure CCP has plans in mind for it next year. No Vin what you say, seems to contradict the dev blogs and the csm minutes. Going from memory: The last dev blog describing the teams assigned to stuff was posted about july of 2010. There were only about 7 out of over a hundred devs assigned to in space features. The last csm minutes explained that no new devs were being assigned to any in space features. Basically the only team working on in space features is team BFF. They are in charge of the null sec expansion. Thats right the team that was originally supposed to try to do the minor fixes and low hanging fruit is basically all we have for any flying in space features. That said I think they are very good team. They basically put all of incursions together. And they probably don't need more than 7 people to fix fw and make it work well. Based on the information provided by ccp this is the best estimate of what is going on. If any of this is inaccurate I would love for someone from ccp to correct me. Actually I would love someone doing an interview to ask what devs are assigned to in space features - how many and what inspace features are they working on. -Cearain Make fw pvp not pve http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1329906&page=1

Is it really here though? Because I was originally led to believe that we'd be able to, y'know, leave our quarters and meet up with people and stuff. Yes you will be able to walk your avatar in front of different backdrops. But it is still just walking. Incarna is already here. Your avatar will not actually talk. It will still be your voice on vent, or you typing into chat window. What you see on screen will still just be a backdrop. -Cearain Make fw pvp not pve http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1329906&page=1
