Xanos Blackpaw Inadeptus Mechanicus 4	Posted - 2011.11.28 09:46:00 - [1] - Quote Its not quite out yet, but from what i have heard and seen so far this expansion is going up as Best Expansion Ever to me. Who is with me?!
Arthur Frayn Deep Core Mining Inc. Caldari State 56	Posted - 2011.11.28 09:50:00 - [2] - Quote Despite all the incoming awesome, Crucible still doesn't hold a candle to Revelations and Trinity.
Malcanis Vanishing Point. The Initiative. 1268	Posted - 2011.11.28 09:56:00 - [3] - Quote Let's wait until it hits the server, before giving these accolades. My bet: Best since spring 09. Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.

Hirana Yoshida Behavioral Affront 159	Posted - 2011.11.28 09:59:00 - [4] - Quote Quantum Rise with the great speed nerf did tons more for balance and variety than Crutch will .. most of what has been announced is cosmetic in nature with a few long overdue tweaks thrown in. The tier3 BCs are added because CCP need to close the book on the art competition fiasco and because they would never be able to sell it as an "expansion" with just UI, graphical and a few balance tweaks. Unless they pull a life-threateningly obese rabbit out in the 11th hour Crutch will probably go down as one of the most hollow albeit desired patches - pardon me, expansions - in history. The biggest thing about it is that it represents CCP's acknowledgement of FiS being the ever important foundation upon which everything must rest.

Destiny Corrupted Deadly Viper Kitten Mitten Sewing Company 141	Posted - 2011.11.28 10:07:00 - [6] - Quote Apocrypha, in my eyes, is EVE's greatest expansion. I shudder to think where the game would be today without it. But like being saved by Spider-Man, everybody gets one; CCP has already stated that they will never again do anything Apocryphaesque.

But like being saved by Spider-Man, everybody gets one; CCP has already stated that they will never again do anything Apocryphaesque. This is very much true. Having said that the vast majority of players have been chiming for an "iteration expansion" for a long while now, so if CCP manages to do exactly that we can't then say "meh, no new stuff, sucks". To me this expansion very much depends on the hybrids rebalancing, if they manage to make them viable I'll be very happy. So far though, what we've seen on Sisi, this is not the case and in fact they gave Minmatar some more boosts compared to Gallente. Excellence is not a skill, it's an attitude.

I was so sure this would be another Apocrypha. I like that this expansion has some good stuff in it but I wish it was an Apocrypha.
Jack Sparroxx TURN LEFT 3	Posted - 2011.11.28 10:18:00 - [9] - Quote Crucible is hardly anything I'd call an "expansion". IMO the only new real thing they have added to to game is the tier 3 BC's. So can Crucible be called the best ever expansion ever since it's not really an expansion, F*** no. However CCP is buffing, tweaking alot of things in the game, and I give them massive props for gitting their heads out of thier asses. And there is PLENTY more stuff to do to tweak allready implemented stuff in EVE. And lets be honest, CCP havn't tuched the core isues of game mechanics and content at all(null sec, low sec, FW etc etc.) BUT Crucible and with the added attitude change from CCP, that definately bought CCP enough time for a massive overhaul in the "expansion" coming after the Crucible. Keep it up CCP, I have hopes in you again, and dont slack off. And I think CCP is going to have a hard time beating Red Moon rising, Trinity and Apocrypha. Though I'd like them to give it a try

I shudder to think where the game would be today without it. But like being saved by Spider-Man, everybody gets one; CCP has already stated that they will never again do anything Apocryphaesque. They stated that before the jita protests/unsub autumn scared the holy bejesus out of Hilmar and the accounts department. After having seen what the players "do" (rather than what they "say when unhappy) I fully expect Apocrypha scale expansions to be back on the table because frankly - unless CCP commit to this kind of development on the core game then they will end up with no money for anything else regardless. The True Knowledge is that nothing matters that does not matter to you, might does make right and power makes freedom. Jericho Fraction is Recruiting!

I was so sure this would be another Apocrypha. I like that this expansion has some good stuff in it but I wish it was an Apocrypha. Crucible is a tournequet patch on the sucking chest wound that was NeXCarna and a neccessary step in saving Eve from bleeding out in a dark ally. The importance of this patch is not really its feature set but the demonstration that CCP have listened to what we the players "do" (when we're unhappy) and have committed to return to proper development and support of Eve Online. Now the future needs to hold several Apocrypha scale expansions at 6 month intervals to return Eve Online to subscriber growth and get things back to where they were before the :18 months: of MT/NeX/Sellout insanity.

Tippia Sunshine and Lollipops 1712	Posted - 2011.11.28 12:02:00 - [17] - Quote Apocrypha will probably end up being better, from an expansion standpoint. However, Crucible will most likely be the most surprising expansion with the most GÇ£wow, neat!GÇ¥-factor in a very long time. But then again, this expansions is all about annoyances, rather than about real content (although we're getting some of that as well), that It's somehow not on the same scale GÇö comparing the two would kind of miss the point. So, best? No. Most satisfying? Quite possibly, yes. GÇöGÇöGÇö GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥ GÇö Karath Piki-á

Mrs Sooperdudespaceman Loud On The Forums Silent In Game 26	Posted - 2011.11.28 14:02:00 - [21] - Quote Take out the new BCs and this 'expansion' is pretty light. Apocrypha was the best imo.
Hungry Eyes Ministry of War Amarr Empire 221	Posted - 2011.11.28 15:10:00 - [22] - Quote they best we'e had in 3 years. it fixes nothing balance-wise, but it shows that they are kinda sorta working on it.
Zleon Leigh 32	Posted - 2011.11.28 15:14:00 - [23] - Quote PI nerf and FINALLY getting around to fixing a PILE of annoying bugs - thumbs down. Incarna - Newest business example of mismanaged capital. CCP - Continuing to gank independent PI producers every day

If they find the way to add dozen of things, new things and find reason to do so, then .. But the reason is no longer there, it has been added before, now its time to make it spotless... I guess

RmR = lol on all those fixas and patch upgrades. And it did kill the roaming style gangs that were present before caps came into play :/
mkint 401	Posted - 2011.11.28 15:39:00 - [26] - Quote Ever? No. Far better than the last 4 though. I'm more interested in the summer expansion because where in winter we are getting sizzle in summer we should be getting steak. Still beats the flacid grey veggies we have been getting.

About this, rebalancing isn't exactly expansion content. 4 battlecruisers that don't really have a lot to add and some updated graphics, of which some are back from being removed. Not my idea if I hear the word "expansion". But well Captain's Quarters and PI Minigame clickfests weren't either. I guess I'm just too spoilt or demanding.

Judge the expansion and our efforts only after you have seen and discovered all the changes and new things. Blindly judging something is rarely a good thing, therefore I would like to point you to the patch notes as first step. In the end I am pretty sure that you will be excited about all the small and large things we have changed and are going to introduce. And there are indeed a lot of things!

shackdavid Trojan Trolls Controlled Chaos 2	Posted - 2011.11.28 16:02:00 - [30] - Quote Quote: Patch Notes wrote: Time Dilation Due to the dangerous nature of altering the fabric of spacetime in such ways, the feature will be turned on at a slightly later date. Crucible has already failed those of us waiting for the lag fix, if a date had been specified in a with a reasonable time period then I would not have an issue with this delay.
