I really think this is a bad move. Incarna has breathed life into this game and pulling the resources now would be a mistake. Many players joined this game because of it and now you want to stop? Please keep iterating on it. I know there is those rabble rabble lobby groups crying everywhere, but they have a ton of FiS stuff to do and play with.
So please reconsider this winter expansion and focus it on Incarna iteration. I have faith in you CCP, don't let me down.

Enough with the rating and troll naming crap, I'm serious.
These forums are for discussing things you know. If trolling is the only thing you are capable of then please go elsewhere.

No, I don't.
Why? Because the actual game parts of the game, that stuff that you do in space? That needs a lot of love. Incarna can wait - spaceships come first, always. |

Your talking about a game that the main part of the game is flying in space. This WIS is crap a waste of resources and was poorly implemented. If you want to go play barbies go get them out of your toy chest and play with them.
If CCP would have actually put the effort in and release a full Incarna product them maybe I would have a completely different view on this but currently they released crap. There is nothing to do in this Incarna ****. I can sit on my couch and watch a useless TV.
This game has never been about barbies, its about pew pew and living in a sandbox.

I agree with the OP, I never fly in space so the FiS crap is completely useless.
We need more expansions like Tyrannis, and the only issue with Incarna was the crap NeX store leaving no room for proper profiteering. 84,000 AUR ($420) spent on NeX store for Troll and Profit. |

Incarna while adding a new level, it isn't what we play for. Internet spaceships is where the gameplay is, the meat and potatoes.
Walking around and talking to people? great, but is it adding anything fun? Not really. |

I AGREE COMPLETELY
For many of us, WiS was what kept us going all of these years.
Anyone remember Mothermoon? For godsakes?
I know that it's what kept me personally invested in this game. In fact when I made my first character everything I did with it was with the idea of WiS in mind. That was years ago.
Do I care about Assualt ships or FW? No honestly, not really.
I think the rage was driven by huge 0.0 alliances who we all know act like they're in Jr. High and form huge bully coalitions for whatever topic their leaders pick and then live their lives based on what their friends say is 'cool' including any ideas that they may have.
Somehow it became 'cool' to bash 'spacebarbie'. Which isn't what it is at all.
With the CSM (horrible idea by the way, the CSM) some weakminded members of CCP even fell victim to this.
Thinking also of that dipshit Soundwave who pandered and sucked up to little kids during the alliance tournament, agreeing with them about how 'spacebarbie is silly' out of the side of his mouth.
Why on earth would they ditch the only redeeming hope for this game is beyond me. |

Personally I think refocussing on FiS for now is a good thing, firstly because fiS is on the verge of collapse and in dire need of som attention as in right NOW, and secondly because CCP obviosly havent thought hard enough abouth what Incarna should be for EVE Online. Most EVE Onkline players want EVE Online gamplay, not space-Barbie. EVE Online gamplay in the context of Incarna and full body avatars is not about dressing up, its about compettion, conflict and screwing eachother over.
I made this thread to expand my own ideas on the matter. |

Yes and No.
When I look at the up coming winter expansion I see a list of fixes and changes to FIS. Also I see the rest of the CQ's.
So basically if CCP gives the whiners there fixes and changes to FIS then CCP can slip in there Incarna additions as well.
This is not the first time CCP ran into Issues with an expansion. Several years ago CCP tryed to release a pure industrial expansion. There was an outcry and CCP backed off and handed out some FIS and a few industrial items.
So as long as CCP hands out FIS and slips in other items at the same time they will be okay. And then non-sandbox crowd (FIS only) can suck it up and deal.

FiS should always take priority over WiS
I subscribe to play a space ship game and if i wanted a second life style game, guess what? i'd play second life
why should CCP let FiS continue be neglected anymore in favour of a feature WiS in which the majority of players have turned off.
There is many broken mechanics in the game for so long now... almost 2 years of neglect of FiS shows us how many players are fed up of it. Subs are definitely down and so much so it has Hilmar worried and wrinting apology blogs. |

And this is why WiS can never be implemented cause no matter how many times they try to appease FiS people they'll always say how WiS is not needed and how it doesn't fit a Sci-Fi game theme. These people are Zealots..
And don't know what in the hell they are talking about.. To be a fully implemented Sci-Fi simulator all parts of interaction would be needed. FiS is only ONE part of this game it does not in anyway make up the entirety of EVE. It is a the biggest chunk, but that does not warrent it to being the only part in this game.
One can only get so imearsed into a ship, You have no real respresentation of yourself. That's what WiS was supposed to bring us. It's not just fluff or barbie-dolls in space. There was a purpose to WiS, getting people out of their ships and giving them the chance to immearse themselves even further into EVE's rich background.
Star Trek had some WiS right.. Star Wars has some WiS.. Aliens had WiS ...Starship Troopers WiS... Battlestar Gallactica WiS right.. Predetors WiS right.. Hell Red Dwarf even had WiS and they stayed in ONE damn ship the whole series..
All of them bonofied Sci-Fi Universes all of them with some form of WiS.. So people that say a Sci-Fi simulator based on spaceships doesn't have some form of WiS and interacting with the others of the universe in a variety of WiS settings are just being ignorant...

The other problem is that these particular nails (or whatever they turn out to be) are so costly and so cumbersome to get into place that they clog up the roads and keeps the sand and spade delivery trucks from coming through.

I'd like to say though that CCP switching directions on Incarna to refocus on the actual working parts of EVE such as FiS is not bad.. The bad part was the deception up to this point. If they had just been real 6 or even 3 months ago. They would be past the flack they are recieving now. Most that are upset much like myself are not upset at the fact they are switching directions.
Its' the fact that they acted like nothing was "wrong" with Incarna up to this point other than some over-heating issues and final touches to establishments. Up till a week ago, we were in the belief that even tho Incarna might of been no so luster and a little broken without fully implented establishments that it would at least work.
That is not the case.. It's broken completely and has been broken the entire time. WIth every development post the DEVs blog on about it success and improvements. EACH of those were lies, they gave the impression of success not of the impending doom of WiS as it is just not possible at this phase of EVE in general from the technological standpoint.
Because Incarna would be great for EVE outside of Tech specs. |

Non-sequitor!
WiS might be an important addition to Eve, eventually. But, if it kneecaps FiS, then one must ask, "What is the point of WiS?". Development of WiS should not be at the expense of FiS. The entire time that CCP was talking up WiS, all the years, they should have been developing it to be a functional addition to Eve. Instead, what we got, was a decision to develop it back in January, it's release 6mos later, shoddy code obsoleting some systems, killing others, bringing yet other's to their knees, poor performance on systems capable of running it and adequate performance on top of the line boxes and ONE ROOM WITH ONE PERSON encompassing all of 2 minutes of explorable content while advancement in FiS has has been stunted for almost 2 years. We want breast augmentations and sluttier clothing in the NeX! |

@ Tippia:
I'm not trying to attack you with the post at all. The comment you made is one many anit-WiS people use quite often. No matter how much FiS stuff the supporters of this get. They will still shoot down any development other than their primary concern. Especially when it comes to WiS.
They'll give this half-assed support for FW, POS managment and SOV warfare mechanics. Since they are in their ships when they are doing most of that stuff..
But everytime WiS is mentioned they will gun it down. Some absolutely believe it has no place in a Sci-Fi game such as EVE. So I don't see any straws being grasped there. It's just a whole bunch of fact and a fist-full of WiS hatters. |

next, some things in FIS have been broken for a long time. its time to fix it. if incarna is the backside of each expansion everyone will be happy. but we never want to see

Once FIS is in a good state I will support WIS 100% but when the game is in such a broken state with major glaring issues I will not put any support behind WIS. Also when they do return to working on WIS if it is implemented as broken as it currently is I will vocally shout how they wasted all this time for 4 room, and a single player experience in a MMO.
WIS should be developed but not at the expense of FIS which is what has seemed to happen. This is why I believe most people are angry with WIS.

Not being able to get even 20 people in the same room without melting a setup is nuts and completely unacceptable for ANY MMO.

**** incarna is my personal view. incarna would have added something to eve if it was the same as the fanfest 05/06 vision. what we got was so far from that. it adds nothing to eve in its current state. 4 rooms and maybe a bar, woopy that was 6 years work down the drain.
i hope they go back to space ships and dont touch wis for a long long time CCP-áare full of words and no action. We watch what they do and its nothing but false statements and lies.

CCP are not abandoning Incarna, but they are delaying it. And sadly, I think they have to. I do want to see the vision realised but it is clearly not ready yet and CCP need to take more time to work on and refine their concept for what the gameplay value actually is.
In the meantime, EVE's existing core gameplay is in desperate need of attention. Lingering problems have been left to fester for far too long and they are approaching a critical mass. EVE has significant balance issues that needed to be addressed a full year ago, they are now reaching a point where they must be dealt with.
Null sec has been stagnating for a long time. Super capital proliferation (and the power of these ships) is killing null sec and getting worse all the time. The sov mechanics need to be revisted as they simply are not much fun. There are may sub capital balancing issues that lead to whole ship classes being largely irrelevant. When it comes to balancing existing ships/items/features these are relatively 'cheap' changes in development terms. Balancing blasters requires no new art or programming work but could make many ships into viable options again. Balancing capitals can hugely change the null sec (and low sec) dynamics but again need no art and relatively little programming.
Those art/programming resources can (in theory) continue to be used to develop Incarna in the background while much needed fixes are applied to existing EVE content. I think that is CCP's game plan at the moment, with 2 possible exceptions; Factional Warfare and Starbases. Depending on their ambitions for the winter release there may be some heavy lifting in these areas for art teams and underlying game code.
EVE needs a damn good tidy up to address key flaws that are alienating the existing player base and would impact on new players as well. Incarna will benefit from extra time as what we have seen so far has felt rushed. A strong release next year will be better than a disappointing release this year. And a release cycle of fixing and polishing existing content may go a long way towards restoring confidence in CCP's ability to deliver the experience we all hope for.

This is not the first time CCP ran into Issues with an expansion. Several years ago CCP tryed to release a pure industrial expansion. There was an outcry and CCP backed off and handed out some FIS and a few industrial items.
So as long as CCP hands out FIS and slips in other items at the same time they will be okay. And then non-sandbox crowd (FIS only) can suck it up and deal.
that expansion, the industrial one, we were promised lots of stuff. ccp failed to delivery any industrial stuffs and instead added 1 ship. they promised and failed to deliver, yet again CCP-áare full of words and no action. We watch what they do and its nothing but false statements and lies.

It is now very common to get less than 30k members logged in. It used to be very common to have over 40k.

Somehow I don't think unfinished WiS is what caused the holes to appear in the EVE boat. CCP are privy to data and where applicable the exit survey for people cancelling their subs that we will never see. No company does a sudden about face based on what is written on the forum alone, so CCP is focussing on FiS for other reasons ... overall feedback.
Incarna has potential, but CCP need to make it more than a shoebox with a credit card attached. My idea of content for WiS is not pushing piles of stuff into the Nex store, but adding things that actually expand the gameplay options in EVE.

Fool, WiS isn't the same thing that CCP delivered with Incarna. I assume you walk outside on April 1st with an umbrella, look at the sun surprised and say "People lied to me about this being a rainy month." Nice logic. |

I agree 100% that is not what they delivered. They delivered a single room. They couldn't even deliver WiS after 4+ years. So let's give them more time. I am sure it was resource well spent. Fool. Allocate resources to FiS |

Yes the character creator looks good. Very good. But by making it so they also put unparallelled high requirements on people's computers. Look at the CQ: for a lot of people it's laggy, very demanding on their computer and still the shades look horrible. Imagine a room full of moving, animating, gesturing avatars - it will become totally unplayable.
So .. instead of fixing it they just drop it and work on other things - where have I heard that before? I think CCP devs overestimated themselves and this is just an easy way out.

You have got to be ******* KIDDING ME. This is the 3rd time I have hit "post" and the page simply reloads and deletes the small novel I wrote. But, it's part my fault; that's what the Clipboard is for. [insert obscene mutterings here]
                    
Let me try and recreate this:
I've expressed this opinion before, but here it goes again. Back when Apocrypha was released, we got the first real announcement regarding WiS: it was out of the conceptual phase. That doesn't sound like much, but to me it was progress, and I was thrilled. But right now, what we have is not what was promised, primarily because it's incomplete. Some, like myself, can look at a project in piecemeal and take it for what it is without issue. But many, and they are justified in this, feel they should not have an unfinished project thrown at them. We pay to play, not playtest. That's different, and people get paid for that. If you do want to play test, that's what Singularity and Duality are for. Also, in a world where cloning is commonplace and FTL travel is the norm, what I know of humanity tells me that fashion did not fall to the wayside. We need more stuff on the NEX, reasonably priced. And then there were Establishments. That got pushed back, to my dismay. I want my virtual space beer, CCP. WHERE IS MY VIRTUAL SPACE BEER!?
This next part is very important, so pay attention:
Flying in Space is, was, and forever will be the core of EVE. When I first started playing, a T2 battleship might as well have been the Flying Dutchman. I was never going to get into one. The people who flew those were all years old. That might be a bit exaggerated, but I was a n00b back then. I can't remember the price numbers, but they were far more respected than they are today. We didn't have incursions (read: money presses). WH were just being introduced in Apocrypha, and T3 ships came shortly after (an FiS addition). It was a smash. It was the precursor to Incursions really; fleet based PvP. There were and are people who can solo Sleepers, but most do it with fleets. The next expansion I wasn't around for. I started up again shortly after Incursion came out. Another FiS addition. Great stuff. It did contribute to inflation, but that was an unfortunate by-product of giving carebears a chance to fleet up in hisec.
But, now, a lot of players feel/felt disenfranchised with the current state of affairs, in no small part because FiS has not been receiving the strange, slightly perverted techie love that it deserves. And now many have left. By making FiS fun again, everyone benefits: Miners mine more (they always did that - mining was the original money press). Ratters rat more. Missioners mission more. PvPers fight more. Campers camp more (stationary targets are always a good thing). Explorers explore more. WH fleets WH fleet more. The results are good for everyone: salvage, loot, more salvage and more loot. Prices go down, and we have an EVE again. And best of all, we start seeing some worthwhile news from the Correspondent. Because the original draw of EVE for me, besides the internet spaceships, was that the story wasn't centered around some king I've never met or heard of who came back from the dead to do some such or another. The story was written ENTIRELY BY PLAYERS SIMPLY PLAYING THE GAME. Sovereignty change = news. POS assault = news. Hostile Takeovers and Bloodless Coups=news. Best. Story. EVAR.
TL;DR I love what Incarna could be. I simply like what it is, though. We pay to play, not playtest. That's what the test servers are for. FiS is the most important. It needs love. FiS becomes fun again, and everything gets better. Internet Spaceships are SERIOUS BUSINESS
****EDIT**** In the hanagars, now, it's not just an empty void. I actually see a hangar. That's pretty cool. So it goes. |

I agree, I wish CCP had continued moving forward with the vision they showcased 5 years ago. The poor imprementation of Incarna kind of puts fans of WiS in a tough spot. We feer rike we have to defend the concept of Amuration arone, as CCP abandons it for FiS, because they screwed up big time on Incarna
So for someone who has been waiting for it for 5 years, to see CCP screw it up feers awfur

I was disapointed with the nex store -- the thing i like about ccp is that they are different then the other mmo companies out there so I expected that the nex door would be different then your usual real money market. IMO the nex store should not sell finsihed items, only unique limited run bpc and componets for items. That way a player can buy a bpc on the market then come into eve and create the items which then go onto the eve/dust market place where they can be bought and traded in the usual manner for isk. This way the players become invested in the items sold on the nex market as there is a mechanism for players to participate and profit from the sale of items that originated in the nex store. |

Life : A principle or force that is considered to underlie the distinctive quality of animate beings
Incarna in its current state is not even close to filling this description.
and if you really think WIS was going to bring that much needed spark . I'm sorry to say we were all mislead.
Incarana is the proof the CCP has a lot of work left to make those Incarna dreams into a reality .
The NEX is further proof that CCP has rushed incarna content .
The new captains quarters just now coming fresh off the test servers is even more evidence that incarana was no were near ready for launch.
The promise of Incarna / wis is tantalizing yet the resources and time dedicated towards it have only produced a bit of glitz. and no real substance. (although i am forgetting the ui changes but still its not enough)
It is not a mistake that the majority of the player base wants CCP to fix FIS . because the gist of it is. If it took CCP 4+ years to introduce a walk in closet, and a virtual barbie doll . Who knows how long the core game would have to suffer, while they actually got too the real meat and potatoes of incarna. Frankly with the condition that FIS is in it could not go on another 4+ years with out some serious attention .

FiS should always take priority over WiS I subscribe to play a space ship game and if i wanted a second life style game, guess what? i'd play second life why should CCP let FiS continue to be neglected anymore in favour of a feature WiS in which the majority of players have turned off. There is many broken mechanics in the game for so long now... almost 2 years of neglect of FiS shows us how many players are fed up of it. Subs are definitely down and so much so it has Hilmar worried and writing apology blogs.
FiS neglected ??? All past expansions have been about FiS improvements, new ships, System Sovereignty, etc.. . Tell me one who didn't focus on space. This is 6 years Walking in Station is pushed back to cater to one side only. |

That's a pretty big "1%" there, buddy. And that's just the alliances who have sov - there are quite a few of some size including my own dear INIT. with a 4-digit member count who don't even show up on that list.
Not to mention the empire alts, which are at least the same again.

Rather add a checkbox button (for or against Incarna) on account page and send NEX items money and subscriptions from those pro Incarna toward Incarna. I am confident that soon this will be the main source of income. Especially since most veterans incarna haters are old players just going to farm isk an hour or 2 to get plex for their sub. Money is not coming much from them i believe. Beside that all past expansions have been about flying and none for walking in station who is pushed back now for 6 years. How many of pro incarna subs have been used for your pleasure ?
Of course, keep this up and people not liking the idea of having no avatar other than a ship will leave and you will be able to say 100% is against Incarna. Assad in Syria does about the same, when he will have killed or make opposition leave all the street will support him. Bullies. |

Do you understand how plex works? For every plex bought with isk someone has to spend RL monies on it. If all vets just spend isk on these plex then who is actually buying them from CCP? They still make the same amount of money. Eventually if people stopped buying plex from CCP all the plex would be used up and then they would just go back to paying with RL monies.

I perfectly understand how it works. People like me pay a sub or buy plex that vets buy with isk without putting any real money in it, we do. And real money I and others pay is not going to a feature we want, Incarna, but goes to features we don't care. I don't care for nullsec or capital ships. 6 years is enough waiting and now i am tired, i ask money from my sub to go toward Incarna. Period. |

When it comes to balancing existing ships/items/features these are relatively 'cheap' changes in development terms. Balancing blasters requires no new art or programming work but could make many ships into viable options again. Balancing capitals can hugely change the null sec (and low sec) dynamics but again need no art and relatively little programming. Again, really who cares for nullsec and capital ships beside the 1% of players there. Look at the galaxy map, most people are in empire. I say nullsec and capital ships after Walking in Station. http://evemaps.dotlan.net/alliance/memberCountThat's a pretty big "1%" there, buddy. And that's just the alliances who have sov - there are quite a few of some size including my own dear INIT. with a 4-digit member count who don't even show up on that list. Not to mention the empire alts, which are at least the same again. 0.0 isn't quite the minority demographic that many like to believe it is.
So are 0.0 a majority then? Cause I keep hearing the number 80% in high sec. Id like to see your proof of 0.0 being a larger number than people think, IE population graphs. Hell Id like to see any of those at all. See how many empire dwellers there really are

CCP is using FiS shouting players that now think they get more than they would have otherwise to hide the fact that they were not ready to bring the Incarna content they promised.
That's all.
Congratulations. Smart move. More honesty next time please.
Also again: Vote for non-0-Sec CSM delegates if you want non-0-Sec content next time. First of all: VOTE!!! Can't even blame the pew-pew-want-but-blue-we-are crowd there. |

Actually, most of the player base joined for the FIS...and it wasn't until Incarna, that the player numbers started to fall.
In "many players", how many is "many players"?...give us concrete numbers, and then I will show you how many active players were lost since Incarna, with concrete numbers.
All that being said...good troll! I had a good bite so, 6/10. You failed getting 10/10, because obvious is obvious.

Perhaps player numbers started to fall because players got bored doing the same stuff every day. I cannot imagine how hard-core space players even bother with something they will hardly ever see, because: Aren't they supposed to be in space all the time?
I can give you 4 out of 10 new players on our forums - all good pilots - are very disappointed with no avatar meeting options this winter.
Now go shoot something and spin your ship. |

Numbers fell because everyone took an emo trip about micro transactions.

You assume that it is the players that caused change.
If CCP was able to get large amounts of fun Incarna based content out for the winter expansion they would do so. And they will release what they have. I think they've realized how long it will take to fully flesh out the WiS systems, how bad the subscription curve is and how close the next expansion is. It's a lot easier for them to earn PR points with an apology and a renewed focus on current game-play which allows them to ship a couple of small fixes and tweaks as an expansion.

I find this sort of pop-analysis extremely lazy. Whilst it seems fashionable to point the finger at Incarna as a reason for the subscription drop. Subs have been declining for a while now.
Realistically there are many reasons that contribute to this decline, like changes in the industry as a whole towards free-to-play, the Tyrannis feature not meeting the hype, the Incarna expansion not meeting the hype (CCP can you see the pattern), other features not being iterated on, low-hanging developmental fruit (like the assault ship fix) not being fixed.
Personally I think the subscription decline will continue until CCP re-establishes it's credibility and delivers fun engaging features. Incarna in it's finished state will be a great thing for EVE, as would a null-sec revamp, new nebulas etc. I can post on a forum, therefore I represent everyone. |

I think that alot of players are not being specific enough in their complaints. While there have been fairly recent 'flying in space' additions, these have mostly been PvE additions. Not PvP.
In reverse order the recent expansions have been Incarna (CQ's and the NPE), Incursion (Incursions which are PvE content), Tyrannis (Planetary Interaction, industrial content launched in a poor state) and then Dominion. Dominion is coming up on 2 years old and while it was a PvP expansion it introduced mechanics which have turned out to be deeply flawed in the long run and clearly needed iteration a full year ago.
Iteration that CCP had promised but never delivered on.
EVE will benefit from the sort of FiS rebalancing and fixes that CCP are now comitting to, and hopefully they can continue to work on Incarna in the background until it is ready for a real deployment.
Why it took CCP so long to develop Incarna to its current state is a valid question that I'd like to hear an explanation for. But EVE needs CCP's attention on long term issues with the existing gameplay for now. http://uglebsjournal.wordpress.com/ |

Maybe CCP can create a super-strain of humans by modifying the genome for you to play against. |

I know there is those rabble rabble lobby groups crying everywhere, but they have a ton of FiS stuff to do and play with.
So please reconsider this winter expansion and focus it on Incarna iteration. I have faith in you CCP, don't let me down.
Err color me wrong but last time I check the WiS only resources are staying there I mean seriously what use would you hvae for a clothing artist on ships and spacestations? Core Eve Development teams is moving back to in space and are not Incarna or any other feature only teams they are the EVE all star team if you want to think if it that way.

This mad me laugh so hard. Congratulations on being able to count. That seems to be a surprisingly rare skill in these here forums. That and basic English.
Also, that link in your sig is excellent. I've been looking for something like that for years. So it goes. |

Why? Because the actual game parts of the game, that stuff that you do in space? That needs a lot of love. Incarna can wait - spaceships come first, always.
I like the "Loot All" function as well but I'm puzzled as to why they needed to abandon Incarna over it.

The only mistake that CCP made was transferring development resources from FiS to Incarna. Incarna is cool and all, but they should have *NEVER* had FiS take a backseat to Incarna. :18 months: and all that.
And the Crucible expansion doesn't contain anything "big" because it was hastily thrown together at the last minute. Everything you see in Crucible is the result of 6 *weeks* of development - as opposed to the normal 6 *months*. |

Incarna crew dont work in FiS, the core teams that help code WiS are all done there they may have networking down there again for multiplayer but that it just about now, rest of WiS crew are dedicated assests or on barrow from WoD.
Core is probably much more worried about dust 514 intergrations and its effect on all of us.
