*sigh*
Really, I'm starting to be very tired of some people here. Not only on these forums, but pretty much on every gaming community. But seeing it on one as amazing as that of EVE hurts.
I am not into sov, but I am as interested for it to be continuously improving as any other aspect of the game.
So, I start reading this topic's OP and the first comments, and all (well, most) I see is whining. Yet more whining. People claiming "IT HAS BEEN 6 YEARS CPP, DO YOUR JOB AND GIVE US SOMETHING PERFECT". First, CCP are not supposed to give you anything, not like if they were your personal slaves or such. Second, perfection doesn't exist, excepting as an ideal to aim for. Third, you can't predict everything a certain change might do. CCP themselves stated this on their devblog. You can have a pretty good idea of what might happen, but you won't see all the implications once you apply the change.
In order to reduce possible bad outcomes, you dedicate time and resources to study the case. Then, you adopt a policy of "let's proceed carefully, with small changes each time, so that nothing goes to hell if something is wrong", especially important with something as deep as Sov. Then, when you really want to do it as perfectly as possible, you explain each possible change to the community and ask it for feedback. With is precisely what is happening with this topic. CCP wants to do sov the right way and are opening themselves to the community like I haven't seen before.
But, instead of taking it as an awesome opportunity to help the devs to do it fine, what do many people do? Say it is crap, that everything will go to hell, that EVE will die, that CCP does not hear the community, and worst of all, that they're not giving them a fully fledged overhaul! Am I the only one to see how shockingly selfish this is? Specially when you know those very same people would criticise such a fully fledged overhaul and say it is completely wrong.
CCP, I wonder how can you bear this. I'd like to see all of these people that criticise everything that the devs do for the game we all love -often without even proposing other ways to do it- get into the role of a game designer. I wouldn't be surprised if they commit suicide by depression, with gamers like that.
Let's finish this post with something constructive.
I don't know much about Sov, but I'd recommend CCP to take note of what other posters said before: trollceptors do have counters aside from other interceptors. And lots of them. So it might not be that bad if interceptors could use the Entosis Link. |
