As for development - EVE is old. Very old. A hint of work being done is the recent implementation of DX11 capability into the engine. Trust me - working on a code that old, likely poorly documented, is hard. It's harder than writing it from scratch.
...
"hey here's 200k of lines of code from ten years back and no docs, go fix it" thing and CCP exhausted its potential for saying "Guys, we're developing this awesome new Z feature that'll totally rock your socks off. So in the essence what you are saying it is much harder to work on the "ships" part, as it takes gigantic effort to rewrite the old code to fix numerous features or to even to introduce new ones. Yet now WiS is ignored, because a handful of "hardcore" gamers(which they love to call themselves) threw a fit when a single box with textures named CQ was presented as Incarna. Imo, that's the main reason they do not do anything, well, besides the possibility that they layed the most of the team working on wis off, while moving the remaider to work on WoD.
Now you get to feel what it's like, when CCP comes out with a statement that your favorite part of this SPACESHIP GAME won't be worked on for "18 months", because of restricted manpower. How do you like it, eh? You don't like it when your game lies broken and bleeding, ignored for "other develoment comitments." The trouble is you WiSers are a minority in the game, heck you can't eveven get enough people to shoot a damned statue in Jita about it, so what makes you think CCP should listen to you?
CCP worked on Incarna, and all we got out of it was, us forced into a rusty closet at first, and barbie dress-up, and it melted your graphics card to do it to. I'm glad that CCP realised that they were trying to fill in a, develomental Grand Canyon, with shovels, and stoped trying to throw more manpower at something that had no gameplay at all.
You've got to remember that these are just simple miners. These are people of the land. The common clay of New Eden. You know... morons. |
