chelly Dian Shadow State The Bastion 25	Posted - 2015.05.01 13:31:33 - [1] - Quote I am referring to this Reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/34hvr9/psa_you_can_skin_any_ship_with_any_skin_blood/ Apparently CCP has the means to allow us nice new skins on every ship in game. Let that sink in for a moment, any skin on any ship. While I do understand the argument of now allowing Sarum Ishtar, for lore reasons, why I cant use Vexor skin on Ishtar is beyond me. Or any other skin that is avalible on T1 ship to be used on T2 variant. Clearly that can be allowed today. It was allowed on SiSi. Guess they will squeez every cent out of skin system. Where you have to buy a skin for every T1 / T2 ship separately. With average price for a skin of 30$ And as far as I know skins stay on character , so when you sell a char you sell skins as well. That you paid a lot of RL money to own. This could be worse idea then monocle gate. Did we learn nothing from inside CCP PDF called - Greed is good ? http://theelitist.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/CCP-MT-Bulletin.pdf ( By the way the PDF is legitimate. They did actually publish it in house ) Will we see yet another Hillmars apology and yet another dunk in player base, that never recovered from Incarna mistake. How many times do you have to make bad decisions to learn a lesson CCP ?

They already exist in the code . The cost of the perminant skins being perminantly bound makes sense if there are going to be 7, 30, 90, and 365 day time limited versions most likely released through the lp stores of the factions. If they are adding more t2 skins then I think that's pretty cool. As for t1 base skins on t2s then I am glad they aren't allowing it. If skins ever change the dscan reading of the ship the. I don't want a vexor fleet on dscan suddenly be "lol actually ishtars." If they make differen factions make t2 skins based off of supposed weath of the corperation they represent I think that would be a better option. Paragraphs are great in case people actually decide to read what you posted. As for D-Scan - skins dont change the name of a ship. They do how ever change the way your ship looks like. As for the rest of your post, I am having trouble understanding what message you actually wanted to convey. Considering me being on dramatic side, perhaps. I simply hate the fact they are limiting options we have to point of absurd when there is not technical limitation.

SKINS have zero gameplay effects, no missions require the use of them. CCP is a company. A for profit company . They want some more profits. What a surprise said nobody with a brain. Lets not act like raving lunatics over something that literally has zero effect on gameplay. I see you werent around for Incarna. The monocle still has no impact on game play as such. But if you go up and actually click on "greed is good " CCP link and / or google EVE Incarna gate you will get a better understanding. I was there shooting the monument. But the important thing is, before all that we had a graph on main EVE page that showed current number of people loged in to EVE. We peaked at some 60 000+ people logged in at one time to TQ. Then Incarna came and they decided to make horrible mistake with in game store. Mind you nothing in store had any impact on pilot performance. As a result of Monocle gate ( 100$ for a monocle ) today we peak at some 35 000 players on EU Prime time friday. CCP had to shut down some offices around the world World of Darkness canceled Walking in Stations ( WiS ) got canceled. Or as CCP would state - we are still working on it. We as players have lost a LOT because of CCPs lack of understanding their target audience. CCP as a company lost even more. Im afraid Hillmar is headed to those shores of fail yet once again.
chelly Dian Shadow State The Bastion 33	Posted - 2015.05.02 18:47:42 - [4] - Quote It will be interesting to see public reaction when CCP "fixes" this bug and people loose the ability to apply skins to what ever ship they want. Shooting monument will be child's play in comparison to outrage we will have on our hands. You cant give us a shiny toy and then take it away on Christmas morning, because it was for other kid and our name on box was there by mistake.

And still nothing but rage from the forum warriors. Mr Epeen I'm pretty sure that the current system is not what I've seen constantly asked for. What we asked for was a hamburger and what we got was half a hamburger that costs triple what a normal one does. We got an iBurger Its not quite unlike a hamburger and costs 3 times more. But you feel special as F when you buy it.

But I think this whole deal has done a lot to illustrate how much people actually want legitimately customizable ship appearances and how not interested people are about paying a months worth of sub to get a skin that applies to a single T1 hull. Sure, it absolutely has. Take note that this is a brand new feature that's been rolled out in a very conservative way, using existing ship/faction combinations, to see how people react to it and to try to measure performance impact. New ship skins may have different limitations or possibly none at all, and the feedback and excitement from this thread will be part of the internal discussions that lead to that. We discussed possible future directions for skins in the Fanfest Art and Graphics panel. I recommend taking a look. Tread lightly Darwin. Because if you simply "patch the bug" and tell user base to "have patience while CCP rolles out all planed changes in apropriate manner" you might see Darwinism at work. Where many small organisms organize in order to bring down a larger organism. I would suggest "fixing" performance issues on current skins and letting them be used by general public in manner they see fit. But then again you might take hard road and ... yeah. Not looking forward to that scenario.

Sadly many people simply dont care enough to shoot the monument again. Shooting was the pinnacle of EVE. Pilots hand in hand fought for what was ours - EVE ! There is no doubt nor debate CCP made a mistake by limiting SKINS to T1 sh*t tier ships and then charging them insane prices. Sadly it will take Hillmar a long time to understand what went wrong. "Greed is good" part of upper management probably will never understand. Logic is simple - if you pay 30$ for T1 skin then you will pay 90$ for T2 skin. Because we all wear Japanese designer jeans for 1000 $ outside CCP. Sadly Hillmar and his band of disillusioned helpers do not understand that you can make more money with a live horse that you take care of then by beating a dead horse with a large Japanese designer stick. Changing SKINS to be used vertically for hulls would make people pay extra, because they would be worth it. Say you buy Gallente cruiser SKIN for 30$ and then you can use it on all Gallente cruisers ( T1 / T2 / T3 ) variants . Would that make you a satisfied customer ? Of-course it would. Also with larger amount of people buying CCP would receive more revenue. Its not rocket science CCP. Just ask former CCP employees at Riot. Im sure they can give you a hint or 10.

Yet they insult no one. For we pitty the fool that is laughing at us. So laugh away my fool, we will take no insult. Much like a primate would beat chest to show dominance because no amount of wisdom will make primate understand.
