When is WiS coming? Never.
*Nelson Laugh* The protests weren't anti WiS, they were a lashback lead by people like me who wanted WiS, we trusted all of these light expansions would all lead up to something. We waited 2 years, through light expansions, 2 fanfests, showing us more and more of WiS! OMG BARS! you can see the ships! Oh man you can play that cool board game and bet stuff. I know that's light on features, but it was a going to be a huge 1st step.
And then after a demo 4 years ago and 3 years of waiting, A single , badly lit, minmatar only room comes out. It runs slow, it's ugly, like wait, we waited 2 years and this is what we get? BS, we wanted stations, stores. And all of the models were on the test server, I put up a bunch of screenshots of the bars.
But after all of that time they took from space, we were mad. Being lied to kinda pisses people off.
The WiS haters always hated WiS, but they never amounted to anything, untill all of the WiS lovers saw the minmatar room with a trash bag by the door. Like a trash bag CCP? seriously? going to make it that obvious?
I thinkthe stations look good now, and I'm glad it's been fixed and worked on by a SMALL team. I don't want grand promises at the expensive of FiS. BUT, once EVE gets all of the new ships, and all of the new effects and drone controls. I WANT walking in stations, not walking in a room.
Rumor is we'll get to met up with dustplayers face to face since that game will share the creator and CQs. Plus the plan to ad actully WiS combat is great. Honestly I'm happy They took a step back, I fear what they had planned sucked. And the fact that the door is shut might be a good thing.
But by god do I want the day to come when A dev blog is released saying the door is opening. I think leaving the unfinished feature in the game only confuses new players, so the sooner it means something, the better.
