Hello
So for the past couple years we have seen extremely mild (almost unnecessary) tweaking and polishing of stuff already in the game. We recently got a new launcher and undock button, a few ships were tweaked here and there. But for the most part CCP has been spending all it's resources on developing DUST as a game.
That's nice. A lot of EVE players who love PS3 defend this decision and it's ok. But nothing exciting is happening with EVE. Now even more resources are going over to DUST and I figure it will be 2 more years before that's over.
But wait!
Then there is WoD, after DUST CCP says they're going to be focusing on yet another game. So if this takes 4-5 years like DUST that means we won't be seeing anything new and exciting in EVE for 7 more years.
When will EVE advance as a game? When will gameplay DEVELOP... this does not mean splashing glitter on the UI. For the purpose of this discussion let's not call that "development" |

A million things, WiS .. player owned hiding spaces they can deploy in 0.0 and base out of, the Jove. Anything really. But this thread isn't a Features and Ideas discussion. |

get it together op, please.

True I like these glasses, can't deny
But I'm talking about game changing development like wormholes were. But CCP won't do big development for us while it's developing other games. It needs a safe pool of $ from EVE addicts to draw from and doesn't want to rock the boat.
This other game development is hindering EVE |

They're not taking away EVE devs...
Do you know how companies work?
Where do you think the recources for that comes from. I'll let you pause for 15 and ponder this Q |

Speaking of EVE addicts it is clear now that people defending CCP not developing EVE just don't want their drug to change. Also, they can't allow themselves to wonder what happens if and when CCP closes it's doors due to imprudence. |

Could you answer the WiS question please OP?
You're just trying to derail the thread. It is a common tactic of goon alts / hangers on. Don't think we all don't know

Dusts main problem and the reason why its getting hammered in the press and blogs is because its not getting nearly enough development. Its bare bones in the extreme and that makes it boring, of limited replayability of passing interest etc. And with CCP refusing to put stuff in that will draw other gamers, like crafting. They are shooting themselves in the foot. IMHO.
Maybe the reason it appears to be bare bones isn't because of lack of resources (I really doubt that). Maybe it's because CCP had no idea how to make an FPS, then they did a bunch of work they apparently had to scrap for a new engine? or something. PS3 architecture, something, something. (Ironic part being they made this same mistake for WiS/Incarna and clearly didn't learn from it) |

All industries work this way; but especially software. You get what you can out of your current line-up, but at some point everyone benefits by making a leap forward onto a new platform that can take advantage of new technologies, new paradigms and incorporate lessons learned from the first generation.
In this case, CCP has had over 10 years with an amazing product to learn and prepare for their next offering. Expect something awesome within the next several years, but do NOT expect development on EVE to start up again in earnest. It simply doesn't make sense financially or technologically.
I understand your point but I think it does make sense to expand on EVE if CCP shows a further inability to expand into new markets. |
