This is the exact update that I was afraid about. Let me explain.
CCP stated that they wanted to go to a new dynamic way of delivering content. Each new patch was gonna be something cool and we could look forward to it!
Is this something I got excited for?
My answer is no.
The reason being is that I feel as if CCP is using these new patches as sort of an excuse for underdelivery. They don't want us to see that they can't deliver on material every 6 months so they try and dupe us into thinking they are doing something by releasing minor patches and updates every 6 weeks, in the hopes that these patches will placate us.
EVERYTHING in this patch, should have already been in the game. I don't mind UI updates, but ffs release some sort of content. What is the actual content here, besides the module tieracide?
CCP is going to continue to release these kinds of contentless updates because we accept them.
Here is my take on the update:
1. The most major update imho: The cloak effect. This thing is cool in theory, and I like that they are trying something new with it. But it is way over the top and looks silly. When cloaking a cap, the light is blinding and too blocky looking.
2. Module tieracide. Cool, I'm glad you are doing this. However, It feels rushed and given about 30 minutes of thought between sobriety and a vodka and cigarette infused stupor. Like... when someone was taking a morning-glory dump and thought "hey, we'll call it this!" Then get drunk and remember about half of that thought.
3. UI updates. Cool, this should have already been in. I like them buuuuuut you seriously just utilized an ENTIRE update to launch your proposed UI updates!? Stuff that wasn't really that big of a deal in the first place? Minor QoL improvements that I personally feel as if they should have already been in the game.
4. Notifications. Thanks for delivering these on time...... "will be enabled a few days after the patch."..... lolwut? yeah sarcasm doesn't translate well on internet. my bad
5. Interceptor changes Meh. Since we're on the subject of ship balances. I'd like to see an orca fit strip miners. Or I'd like to see a mothership get bonuses to capital turrets. That'd be dope right?
Basically, I feel jipped and that this is the kind of update that insults the players. All the money that gets put into this game? Get your priorities straight and deliver us some damned content. Freshen this game up, enough of the baby steps, enough with not delivering content. Start addressing the real problems with this game. This update is not acceptable. I'm not quitting, I'm going to continue to play and fund this game because I've seen this company do some fantastic things. I will be more vocal about my thoughts, because I see this game going in the wrong direction. |
